Chapter 495: Chapter 0495: Victory (Third Update Request for Subscription)

‘A bird… that eats alone?’

Wang Chaoqun stared at the scene, feeling an urge to laugh, but he couldn’t.

Watching the squabble of a few talking crows, he suddenly realized: ‘This so-called Crow Kingdom… although these mutant crows have varying statuses, there’s no hierarchy… Decapitation Tactics are useless now!’

‘Ada… You idiot bird, falling for a foolish human’s tricks, this proves you’re even dumber than a human!’

Crow Little Four and Crow Little Five jumped out: ‘Everything that happened today is your fault!’

‘Ada… You’ve always been a greedy bird, always taking more than your share, not just this time, but at our great master’s place too!’

The naive Crow A Three also joined the fray.

‘You…’

‘Ada retreated, like an old king about to be dethroned: ‘So, you want to commit regicide and usurp my kingdom?’

‘Bullshit, our master never acknowledged you as the king around here!’

‘Right, right… Only the smartest crow can lead us properly, can better serve the master!’

The other crows cried out in unison.

‘What is this? A bunch of drama queens?’

Wang Chaoqun was speechless, but he noticed that Zi’s expression had become extremely serious.

‘These dumb crows have leaked important information. Above them, there’s a ‘great master’, whether that’s a human or a mutant remains to be seen…’

‘Shoot them down… Don’t let any of them escape.’

Several thin needles floated around Zi as she directed her command to the surveillance network personnel.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Compared to regular crows, the mutant crows were much faster. They zigzagged through the treetops, nimbly avoiding the tranquilizer guns and flying needles.

Even Ada, who seemed immobile, turned into a few falling black feathers after being struck by a needle.

‘Mutant crows… They seem to possess illusion abilities!’

Zi quickly ordered: ‘Put on your infrared goggles!’

‘Stupid woman! You’ve successfully advanced our wrath!’

‘I, A’er, will take Ada’s position and punish you.’

‘Let the battle begin! Full-scale attack!’

…

The spirited crows crowed in foolish indignation, only to be mocked by Zi.

These seven fools will sooner or later become our soup!

‘Cough, cough!’

Suddenly, intense coughing came from the side.

Wang Chaoqun glanced momentarily in surprise to see many members of the surveillance network in black uniforms clutching their chests, pained expressions on their faces.

‘Cough, cough…’

The first one to cough almost sounded as if he was screaming in pain, making people worry that his lungs were about to be coughed up.

‘Cough…’

Even the medical staff wearing specialized masks were lying weakly on the ground, coughing up blood.

‘This… This…’

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, glaring at the seven crows in the trees: ‘Did you do this?’

‘Stupid humans, this is the profession given to us by the great master—[Plague Messenger]! Its power is to control disease!’

A crow said arrogantly.

‘Damn it… The disease progresses too fast, and it’s highly contagious!’

Zi felt her throat start to itch, an extremely discomforting sensation.

Next to her, Wang Chaoqun couldn’t help but cough, looking at her in terror.

Their eyes met, their hearts sinking into an endless abyss: ‘Is this… a disease that can infect even the Transcendents? If it spreads, these idiotic birds… do they really have the ability to destroy a city?’

‘No! It’s not that terrifying.’

Although Wang Chaoqun was a bit coughy, he activated his inner strength throughout his body. He felt much better immediately, not at all weakened like the others: ‘We can fight off the disease! But ordinary people can’t!’

“Command Center!”

Zi took a deep breath, her face determined, “You all heard, didn’t you? At a necessary time, directly destroy this area. East City… may need to be cordoned off as a quarantine zone! Before that… I will try to kill all seven Plague Crows!”

“Hey hey… Don’t.”

Wang Chaoqun shouted, “Sister… don’t be impulsive. Even if we kill them, it will be useless if we don’t find the source.”

His words were like a bucket of cold water, immediately calming Zi considerably.

But her expression changed faster, “There’s a force interfering with my emotions… The crows’ abilities are similar to those of an Occupational Person. They can control diseases, create illusions, and even influence emotions… Perhaps, each of them possesses a different Profession.”

“Ah… We’ve been found out.”

Little Seven shook his head in annoyance.

“Regardless, these crows are very worth researching.”

Zi’s eyes turned cold as she suddenly launched a telekinetic assault.

Bang!

Weird shrieks could be heard.

The seven crows seemed to be swept by waves, swaying on the branches of the trees.

“Good, watch me!”

Wang Chaoqun aimed for a position, ready to use the tactic ‘Spirited Monkey on the Tree’ to catch one or two mutant crows.

It was then, he heard a voice impossible to describe.

It was similar to the murmurs of an Ancient God, yet fundamentally different.

Just hearing it made his senses become more acute, as if he could see many things ordinary people could not.

Within that profound darkness, there seemed to be several shadows.

“Sister, be careful, there are more enemies!”

Wang Chaoqun yelled a warning, focusing intently on the darkness, all his spirit sucked in.

Instantly, he saw…

A vast strip of dark and stale land, with a canyon-like gap cracking open on the ground.

Deep within that canyon, in the darkness, numerous twisted worms wriggled non-stop…

“Ah!”

With the intense spiritual shock, Wang Chaoqun couldn’t help but clutch his head, screaming.

“What happened?”

Zi next to him looked at Wang Chaoqun in surprise.

From her perspective, Wang Chaoqun merely gave a warning before collapsing.

——Ordinary people cannot see Spiritual Body’s attacks, not to mention that Su Lu had closed off the channels to the Spirit World Occupational Persons.

Unless major powers made significant progress in researching Ancient God’s photos, they would still be helpless against the Spirit World and Spiritual Bodies!

Ding-a-ling!

Zi recalled several thin needles, floating around her nearby.

She heard a crisp wind chime sound near her ear.

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

In an instant, the world seemed to turn into a kaleidoscope, with many jumbled colors surging inwards, making her eyes spin.

Intense dizziness followed.

She struggled, wanting to say something, but could only faint amidst the hurried calls in her earpiece.

“The foolish human has fallen!”

“We have won.”

The seven silly crows crowed cheerfully.

Just as they were about to swoop down for a kill, a voice rang in their ears, “Humph! Get back here now!”

“As you command, great master!”

These seven crows, much like defeated soldiers, sadly rescued the common of their kind, flapping their wings and disappearing into the night…
