Zhu Minglang was a man who was good at thinking.
There was nothing in this world that could not be explained by cultivation theories.
Something like the Whitzard Crow being the incarnation of the Grim Reaper? Humph, superstition!
There must be something behind it that he did not notice.
"First of all, we have to figure out if it has an extremely fast reaction speed, or if it has the ability to predict the danger around it, like the Red Sky Beast," said Zhu Minglang.
Judging from the ambush by the Incorruptible Dragon, the Whitzard Crow was more likely to be the former.
It had extremely sharp observation skills, as it was mocking the Incorruptible Dragon when it was ambushed.
If it had the ability to sense danger, it would not have chosen to stay under the withered tree where the Incorruptible Dragon was hiding. After all, if its reaction speed was not fast enough, even if the Incorruptible Dragon knew there was an ambush, it would still be difficult for the Incorruptible Dragon to escape.
"Secondly, its eyes should be a little strange. Sometimes, it gives people the feeling that it is a mirror, specially reflecting a person's embarrassing appearance. Staring at it for too long makes people feel uncomfortable all over!" Zhu Minglang continued his analysis.
"Did you see what it was eating?" asked Mr. Koi.
"I think it was eating some insects on the withered tree." Zhu Minglang had noticed this before.
"If it knows how to eat, it's definitely not a puppet. Let's get some laxatives and see if it eats them," said Mr. Koi.
"Why would we bring laxatives with us?" said Zhu Minglang.
"It's fine, we can just apply the juice of the herb on those fat silkworms," said Mr. Koi.
"You're really knowledgeable."
…
Putting laxatives on the crow's food!
The Whitzard Crow followed them like a spirit. It was impossible for it not to eat and drink.
As long as it did not have the ability to predict danger, it would not know that they had applied the herb on the withered tree's insects. The herb had a faint smell, and laxatives were not poison. It had the ability to expel toxins, so it would not arouse suspicion.
As expected, the damned crow had finally taken the bait.
It ate the insect that had been smeared with herbs. While it was tailing Zhu Minglang and Mr. Koi, it was no longer as annoying as before. Instead, it would mysteriously disappear for a while. Just as it was about to summon the beast with its "wah wah wah" cry, its voice would suddenly become strange. Then, it would twist its body as if it was trying to control something.
"We succeeded, but the problem is, how do we catch it?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I didn't say I could catch it. I just wanted to make it uncomfortable," Mr. Koi said.
"…"
Zhu Minglang regretted taking Mr. Koi's advice. This fish was indeed unreliable.
After a period of observation, Zhu Minglang discovered that the Whitzard Crow was indeed not an ordinary creature. Furthermore, it was able to bring misfortune to the gods. This showed that it was rather special.
Zhu Minglang wasn't the boss. Capturing this thing was actually very useful.
If anyone dared to cause trouble for him, he would send this crow to disgust them. It could definitely torture them until they were mentally and physically exhausted!
Zhu Minglang had already thought it through. Once he caught this Whitzard Crow, he would send it to disgust the gods!
Mr. Koi wasn't completely useless.
At the very least, this Whitzard Crow was in a rather weak state.
It would spit out whatever it ate. Its pair of sharp and shining eyes had become dull and lifeless. However, this crow was especially principled. Under such circumstances, it still continued to follow. It was as if if it didn't bring misfortune to someone, it wouldn't have completed the sacred mission given to it by the heavens. It wasn't worthy of proudly living in this world!
"This guy's sense of distance is very good."
"No matter which dragon I summon, from the opening of the Spirit Realm to the appearance of the dragon, to the attack, this is the perfect time for it to fly away."
The earth-shattering divine abilities were useless against this Whitzard Crow. It would always be able to escape out of sight at the first moment. Then, when everything calmed down, it would fly back and continue to let out that ear-piercing mocking laughter.
Ambushes and sudden attacks didn't work either. Its reaction speed was very fast. After several tests, Zhu Minglang felt that this Whitzard Crow should have an ability similar to that of an insect.
From the perspective of an insect, the speed of rain falling was very slow. The movements of everything in the world would also seem to be slowed down by many times. Zhu Minglang remembered that he had encountered a divine beast with a similar ability in the Dragon Gate.
Therefore, even if he sent out the fastest Stegosaurus and Bai Qi, it was useless.
"My intentions can't be too obvious. Otherwise, with the perfect distance it maintains, it will have time to react."
… …
The Whitzard Crow was indeed very intelligent. It didn't take long for it to realize that there was something wrong with the insect food on the withered tree.
It began to change to another type of food to eat. It caught the insects that Bai Ze flew in the air. Furthermore, it randomly chose its target. Anything that could be swallowed was fine. Zhu Minglang and Mr Koi could not possibly catch all the insects and smear them with poison.
As if provoked, the Whitzard Crow began to become even more aggressive.
Its cries became more and more shrill, and the title of Death's Incarnation gradually displayed a terrifying power. Zhu Minglang walked in the Whitzard Domain. From time to time, he would see mudslides rolling towards him, and he would also encounter shocking corpse tides. Even if Zhu Minglang lifted the seal on his soul and walked with the divinity of an Orthodox God, he would still step into disasters!
"It's no longer just using its voice to attract monsters. Its summoning power has begun to affect the surrounding environment, and even some natural geography!" Mr. Koi said.
"What a strange crow. Why do I feel like its ability is getting stronger little by little?" Zhu Minglang said.
"That's why I told you that this thing is strange!" Mr. Koi said.
"You're the one who said that you're irreconcilable with it."
"It's mainly because I don't know much about this thing, and I can't figure out what's strange about it," Mr. Koi said.
"Calm down, calm down. We've seen all kinds of storms. How can we be cornered by a stupid crow? There must be something that we haven't discovered!" Zhu Minglang said.
Every living thing in the world had its own unique way of existing. Even if one's cultivation was absolutely superior, if one fell into the trap of their wisdom that they had relied on to multiply over the years, they could still be eaten by the other party until not even their bones remained. This was the truth that Zhu Minglang had learned while walking in the wilderness. One must treat everything with respect.
However, this crow …
Zhu Minglang was going to fight it to the end!
What exactly did it rely on to be so lawless!?
There must be a way to deal with it, but he hadn't discovered it yet. He had to be patient!
As long as he found the key, this crow was just a stupid crow. It was like a folk magic trick. It might seem incredible, but once he knew the principle behind it, he wouldn't find it so magical anymore!
"Dong! Dong! Dong!!! "
Loud footsteps could be heard in the dreary night.
Zhu Minglang hadn't been able to sleep well.
Not long ago, he felt that his path to becoming a god was so pleasant, and the residents of White Marsh were so friendly and warm. However, everything changed when he met this crow!
At this time, if he still thought that it was an ordinary crow, he would be really stupid.
Perhaps it was the ruler of White Marsh, the incarnation of Xie Cang, playing around in the world!
"Something is approaching us," Mr. Koi said.
"The ferocious beasts summoned by this crow are getting stronger and stronger!" Zhu Minglang was also secretly shocked.
In the night, a Mysterious Ancient Giant with a head that looked like a blooming lotus walked over. This guy was like a moving mountain. Before it had completely approached Zhu Minglang's resting place, Zhu Minglang's line of sight was already occupied by this Mysterious Ancient Giant.
On the Mysterious Ancient Giant's shoulder, the White Marsh Crow stood proudly, like a strange ruler, the incarnation of the Grim Reaper!
"A Divine Commander level Mysterious Ancient Giant." Zhu Minglang opened his mouth wide.
Although the Mysterious Ancient Giant was nothing to be afraid of, with Zhu Minglang's current strength, he could easily deal with it.
However, the ferocious beasts summoned by the crow's cry were getting stronger and stronger.
At first, the Ancient Bronze Tyrant Dragon should have been at the Demigod or Quasi God level. Later on, some of the Calamity Beasts summoned were at the Divine Son level. Now, it could actually summon Divine Commander level beasts!
If this continued, would this crow summon even stronger existences, like Divine Master level beasts, or extremely fierce and evil ancient immortals??
Was it too late to apologize to this Crow Fairy now?
Zhu Minglang thought so in his heart, but the stubbornness and pride in his heart didn't allow him to do so.
"Although it's really convenient to constantly summon ferocious beasts for you to tame your dragon, I'm afraid that it will summon even more terrifying enemies later on. You may not be able to deal with them even if you go all out," Mr. Koi said.
"You go and apologize," Zhu Minglang said.
"How is that possible? I'm a rare Koi, the lucky star of billions of creatures. If I bow my head to a crow with bad omens, how can I deal with other Koi in the future? How can the people of the Boundless World pass on Koi diagrams to bless me with good luck?" Mr. Koi said.
"Let's observe a little more. I think I have a little idea. If I can't hold on any longer, we'll consider the problem of who should apologize," Zhu Minglang said.
"Okay!"
After dealing with the Mysterious Ancient Giant, Zhu Minglang had actually gained a lot.
Although the crow could summon ferocious beasts, as long as they weren't at the Divine Master level, they were actually giving Zhu Minglang experience books. The only strange thing was that these ferocious beasts didn't drop anything good.
"It's here again, this time it's … Oh my god, it's a Godswamp White Dragon!!" Mr. Koi exclaimed.
As soon as it heard that it was a white dragon, Bai Qi, who was dozing off in the Spiritual Domain, became alert.
Bai Qi didn't have the slightest interest in crows, but if it was a rare White Dragon Divine General, then it immediately ignited its fighting spirit!
This Godswamp White Dragon was probably one of the top ferocious dragons in Bai Ze's Ominous Territory.
"Crow Immortal is much more powerful than you, Koi. Why do I feel like you're useless except for your mouth?" Zhu Minglang said to Mr. Koi.
Mr. Koi also became angry when he heard this and said, "What kind of joke is this? On your path of cultivation, you've picked up Nüwa, obtained a divine position, and had all kinds of fairies and goddesses throw themselves into your arms. Isn't this Koi's credit?!"
"Isn't this the result of my own efforts?" Zhu Minglang said.
"Hard work can lead to good luck. Zhu Minglang, oh Zhu Minglang, I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who forgets the person who digs the well."
"Forgets the person who digs the well …"
"Look at you, you refute me no matter what I say. Can't we still cooperate? Let's go our separate ways. When the time comes, let's see if your luck is still there. You don't have this Koi on your path of cultivation. You encountered inner demons in seclusion, you encountered heavenly tribulations, you hit a bottleneck in your cultivation, and you met with women!!" Mr. Koi said angrily.
"Haha, you're just a pendant. Why do you have to take advantage of your seniority? Let's go our separate ways. If the heavens didn't give birth to me, Zhu Minglang, the heavens would be like a long night. Get lost!"
"Bah!"
The man and the fish quarreled endlessly and maliciously, so they directly broke up.
The crow was still standing on a high place, looking at them with mocking eyes, as if it had arranged all this long ago.
The small boat of friendship could be trampled on just like that. One of the crows' best spells was to sow discord between people!
… …
Mr. Koi left alone.
As a koi fish that didn't need water to swim, its ability to protect itself was actually the same as this damned Immortal Crow.
Of course, the Bai Ze crow's main target was Zhu Minglang, the righteous god.
Therefore, its next target was still Zhu Minglang.
Not only did it want to bring misfortune to Zhu Minglang, but it also wanted to destroy his cultivation, ruin his reputation, and break up his family!!
The Bai Ze Dragon God was very powerful. It fought with Bai Qi for a long time.
In the end, the Bai Ze Dragon God was injured and left temporarily. Zhu Minglang also knew that it would take more than a day or two to kill such a powerful ferocious dragon.
As for the crow whose magic power was getting more and more ridiculous, it was still circling around Zhu Minglang. Wherever Zhu Minglang went, it would follow. Moreover, strange and bizarre things would definitely happen wherever this crow went. Either a rain of corpses or a tide of rats would erupt …
Finally, Zhu Minglang couldn't stand it anymore. He hid in an ancient temple and began to inject his divine power into some of the stone statues and stone tools left behind in the bone temple to expel the invasion of the evil creatures.
The Bai Ze crow didn't dare to get too close to the temple, even if it was a rundown temple. However, it still guarded outside. Unless it stayed inside the temple, it wouldn't let it go!
In the rundown temple, Zhu Minglang asked the Nüwa to set up some isolation barriers.
After confirming that the goddamn crow wouldn't monitor his every move, Zhu Minglang coughed heavily.
At this time, Mr. Koi swayed his tail and floated out from behind the rundown temple's statue.
"Is it like what I said?" Zhu Minglang hurriedly asked Mr. Koi.
"You guessed it!" Mr. Koi nodded vigorously.
"Hmph, this time I must destroy its Crow Fairy Nest!!" Zhu Minglang's eyes flashed with a cold light.
It was impossible for them to part ways.
What was the relationship between Zhu Minglang and Mr. Koi? The giant ship of friendship was not afraid of any storm.
Quarreling was just a daily act because they couldn't be monitored by the crow all the time.
Sure enough, as Zhu Minglang expected, the crow was playing a trick that was easy to be ignored.
After seeing through the act, there was nothing left!
