Seventy-five empty white beads also dissipated. After all, the distance was so close, less than forty meters, and the opponents were skilled.
This was equivalent to 58 people focusing fire for 5 seconds. Even if they shot once per second, there would be 290 shots. Adding the scattered shots afterward, it would total at least 350 shots or more.
Less than nine minutes had passed since Henry initiated the attack with his skill Flying Dagger. The roads here were winding, so the sheriff would probably need some time to arrive.
Moreover, the sheriff couldn't possibly be unaware of what this place was.
So there must have been two factions clashing, and the sheriff would most likely wait until the gunshots had completely subsided before coming over.
After all, they were also made of flesh and blood, and they would probably avoid conflicts between two armed forces if possible.
Henry quickly ran downstairs, collecting all the firearms, ammunition, wallets, and miscellaneous items like identification tags. Then he emptied the drawers in the compartments.
Next, Henry doused the wooden tables, chairs, and walls of these negotiation rooms with kerosene, then lit them one by one.
Once the fire had initially started, Henry took out two 50-pound, 15-second delay tnt, activated the detonators simultaneously, placed them in the main hall on the first floor, and then sprinted out of the villa.
After he was seventy to eighty meters away from the villa, a thunderous roar came from the direction of the villa, and a wave of heat swept over him with the wind.
Henry returned along the way he came. He had just walked through it once and had already memorized all the routes.
His body, which had been enhanced twice, also gave him a memory far superior to ordinary people.
All the houses Henry passed through and entered along the way were empty. He didn't know if the original occupants had all run to the main building and been released life.
A few minutes later, after turning the last corner, Henry saw five black market men who had searched him, about twenty meters away.
Henry instantly activated his Super Reaction Talent, and his hands moved so rapidly they became a blur.
One second later, three 12-inch long, 12-ounce skill Flying Daggers were embedded in the chest and upper abdomen of each man.
Henry quickly approached them as they screamed in pain, and a Swift Sword materialized in his right hand.
"Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!"
A large hole instantly appeared in each person's throat.
Henry collected all of them, then unlocked the back door of the Hamlet Bar and pulled it open.
Henry slipped into the bar and closed the back door.
The bar was surprisingly quiet. There were not many customers, only a handful.
Most of the people had run out to look in the direction from which the explosion had just come and were discussing it animatedly.
As Henry passed the bar, the bald bartender suddenly noticed him.
After all, he was so tall and large.
Facing the bald man's questioning gaze, Henry did not stop. He raised his right hand, then raised it again—two skill Flying Daggers were already crossed in the bald bartender's neck.
The bald bartender's throat made a gurgling sound, his eyes filled with despair. His hand instinctively went to his neck but he dared not apply force, and soon he became weak from asphyxiation and softly fell to the ground.
At this moment, another bartender, who was chatting with a customer, noticed that something was wrong with the bald bartender.
"Oh my god, Larson, what's wrong with you? How did you suddenly get hit by a skill Flying Dagger in the neck?" This was the voice Henry heard after he walked out of the bar's double doors.
Passing through the large crowd of onlookers in the bar, Henry walked over two hundred meters and found a dead end of a house. He released a brown Quarter Horse, mounted it, and rode away towards the Aston Hotel.
It was only around seven in the evening. Henry had left Melon Manor a little after six, completing his mission and retreating successfully in just over half an hour, with incredibly high efficiency.
When he arrived near the hotel, Henry found an unmanned blind spot, tore off the sideburns and mustache he had affixed to his face, and then rode to the hotel.
After depositing his horse at the hotel stable, he went to the hotel front desk to open a room.
In this era, opening a room only required manually filling out a lodging book, which was very simple.
After Henry entered the room, he locked the door, then piled three chest-high granite stones against the door, stacked several boxes of miscellaneous items on top of them, and then sat on a chair to begin inventorying his gains.
Henry had just released life a total of 226 black market individuals into the underworld, gaining 3 green beads, 128 white beads, and 95 gray beads. Among these, only one green bead had a skill or talent halo.
The release life progress bar reached 3rd level 16.67%.
Below the progress bar were 313 gray beads, 261 white beads, 15 green beads, and 64 empty gray beads, 7 empty white beads, and 2 empty green beads.
Among them, four green beads had skill or talent halos.
Henry now possessed the energy equivalent to 1768 gray beads, which was enough to enhance his Warning Talent and Godspeed Talent.
Henry decided to extract the talents or skills from the green beads first, and one by one, as he was in a hotel and safety was paramount.
As Henry silently willed: Use one green bead containing a talent or skill.
Instantly, Henry was enveloped by a warm sensation. He felt that his ears had been sensitive since childhood, and his hearing was superior to ordinary people.
Two minutes later, when Henry regained consciousness, he found he had gained a new talent—Super Hearing +50%, meaning his hearing was 50% stronger than an ordinary person's.
Continuing, the second green bead gave Henry a skill—Harmonica LV4. Henry could now play over twenty classic tunes on the harmonica with masterful skill.
Then the third green bead gave Henry a skill—Card Skills LV4. Henry was now proficient in Blackjack, Stud Poker, and Faro—the predecessor of Texas Hold'em.
The fourth green bead gave Henry a skill—Intelligence LV4. Henry now had a deep understanding of how to collect and analyze intelligence.
A total of five minutes passed, and Henry gained one talent and three skills.
From Fresco Town until now, 423 bandits had been released life, equivalent to a 1% talent and skill extraction rate.
As Henry became more well-rounded, the future extraction ratio would certainly be lower.
However, Henry was very satisfied with his current skills and talents.
In fact, each skill was a new world, a new life experience and feeling.
However, Henry had only recently transmigrated and was still busy developing, unable to fully appreciate the various joys these skills brought.
Now, he had used 4 more green beads, which was equivalent to accumulating the energy of 40 gray beads.
Focusing his mind, Henry again spent the energy of 192 white beads, combining them into 1000 gray beads of energy to upgrade his Warning Talent.
The 192 white beads emitted light and merged into the panel, and then a milky white light emanated from the panel into Henry's body, making him feel warm all over, as if he had returned to the moment of his birth.
Two minutes later, Henry awoke. Warning LV1 had increased to LV2—he could now sense his own danger two seconds in advance, and also sense the danger of others within the range of the release life progress bar level (in meters). He could predict the actions leading to danger with relatively high accuracy. Upgrading to LV3 would require 10,000 gray beads of energy.
Currently, the release life progress bar was at level 3, meaning Henry could sense his own danger 2 seconds in advance, and also sense dangers that would befall others within a 3-meter radius around him.
It was indeed much more powerful, but there were no enemies at the moment, so the effect of this talent could only be tested later.
