Creak!
The withered branches were stepped on, making a low sound.
The surrounding grey fog was rolling, bringing with it a cold and evil feeling. It combined with the strange black tree branches, like the arms of an unknown ferocious creature.
Wu Ming and the other Reincarnators trekked on the narrow mountain path, with gloomy eyes.
After entering the Black Mountain Range, a heavy pressure pressed down on everyone's heart. It was as if the whole mountain was constantly emitting hostility, enough to suffocate ordinary people!
Needless to say, this forest and thick fog was the most suitable place for ghosts and mountain spirits.
As for Wu Ming and the others, they had to be careful with every step they took, and it took a lot of effort to be on guard against the enemy.
After walking for half a day, everyone needed to rest.
The few of them worked together, and a few simple tents were set up. There was a bonfire in the middle, and bright yellow tongues of flame rose up, bringing with it warmth and light. Even the thick fog in the surrounding darkness seemed to disperse a lot, giving people a sense of peace.
Above the bonfire, an iron pot was hung upside down, and the delicious soup inside was sizzling and bubbling.
Inside the pot was the dried meat that everyone had brought, and there were wild vegetables found nearby. Of course, everyone had appraised it and confirmed that it was not poisonous, and had not been tampered with.
"It's been hard on you, come and have a bowl to warm your body!"
Wu Ming was leaning lazily against a big tree, with his arms crossed, observing the surrounding situation. Gong Yunshang came to the side with a wooden bowl.
In the wooden bowl, there was meat soup that had just been scooped up. The soup had been carefully removed, and it was transparent. The dried meat in the bowl was fully swollen, revealing its appetizing texture.
"Thank you!"
Wu Ming reached out to take it. Suddenly, in the thick fog, there was the sound of war horses neighing, accompanied by the scene of a charge.
"This is?"
Gong Yunshang's body quivered, and she instantly turned around, drawing her sword, with an awe-inspiring aura, no longer looking weak and weak.
"Don't worry, these are the Yin soldiers of the City God. They're here to help us …"
Wu Ming remained silent and motionless. He glanced at Gong Yunshang with some measure of surprise, and then turned to look at the moon in the sky, "A night like this is the best time for the Yin soldiers to unleash their full potential!"
He was very clear that although they seemed to be fighting alone, in reality, there were ghosts and gods following them.
Moreover, if it weren't for the City God's divine power concealing them and the Yin soldiers patrolling the surroundings to wipe out the monsters of the Black Mountain, they would have long been discovered and attacked.
"No wonder I often feel like I'm being watched!"
Gong Yunshang patted her chest with lingering fear. "Fortunately, we were quite careful when we talked and set up a barrier. Otherwise, we would have lost our lives if it was leaked!"
"They're separated by Yin and Yang. It's not that easy to gather information!"
Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly. "On the other hand, the three hundred miles of Black Mountain is the Lord Kurosan's territory. No matter how we tried to hide it before, we'll definitely be discovered now that we're so deep inside …"
"Caw, caw!"
Gong Yunshang followed Wu Ming's line of sight and saw three crows perched on a dead tree nearby.
The crows' feathers were pure black, but their eyes were blood-red. They were filled with an extremely anthropomorphic sense of cruelty and cunning. Upon closer inspection, it would immediately send a chill down one's spine.
"Pa!"
Wu Ming raised his hand and flicked his fingers to shoot stones. Several stones made a sharp sound and produced sparks in the air. They suddenly hit two crows.
A large number of black feathers fell, but one of them was extremely agile and dodged the stones. Even so, its wings were scratched, and its cries became even more ear-piercing as it desperately tried to fly away.
"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight …"
Seeing this, Wu Ming's eyes moved slightly.
Next to him, Gong Yunshang was also a little surprised. The ability to kill crows with a flick of fingers, be it in terms of eyesight or the grasp of strength, was already very exquisite. She was not a woman without knowledge, and naturally knew that Wu Ming must have put in a lot of effort in martial arts.
Even so, he actually let one escape. That must be a mutated species that had been carefully raised by someone, or even a first-class monster.
"Let's go!"
Wu Ming used his movement technique and actually chased after it without hesitation.
"Chasing after victory? What a good temperament and decisiveness! "
Gong Yunshang's beautiful eyes flickered. "Could it be … that he purposely missed just now to lure out the mastermind?"
Seeing that there was also a commotion in the camp behind her, she immediately chuckled. Like a graceful swan treading on a lotus, a fragrant wind blew as she followed behind Wu Ming.
"Caw, caw!"
In front of them, a crow flapped its wings and flew, crying out in pain. Because of its wing injury, it fell from time to time, and its speed was not very fast.
Wu Ming ran like the wind, passing by the gray fog and withered trees on both sides, but he still had some energy left.
He was at the Innate Stage of Martial Arts, and his physique was already extremely strong. At this time, he also used Taoist spells to refine his Qi into Spiritual Energy. Although he had been busy for the whole day, he did not show any signs of fatigue.
The crow in the air was even more mournful, and after flying for tens of miles, it turned into the back of a cliff.
"Huh?"
Behind the cliff, there was an empty space, and on it, a black-robed Daoist was looking into the distance. There was a bigger crow perched on his shoulder, and seeing the injured one, a pained expression appeared on the Daoist's face. "Only one came back? Where are Crow Eight and Crow Nine? "
"Caw, caw!"
The injured crow stopped on the Daoist's hand, cawing as if it was complaining.
"Ah … Crow Seven, you have suffered. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
The Daoist seemed to understand the bird's language, and a look of anger appeared on his face. He then took out a bright yellow gourd, poured out a pill, dissolved it, and carefully applied it to the crow's wound.
This Daoist called himself 'Black Crow', and he had spent all his wealth in the main temple to obtain the Black Crow Dao Art!
The crux of this Dao technique was to collect crows that possessed spirituality and continuously refine them, nurturing them into the ancient variant 'Thunder Fire Black Crow'. The human and the bird were connected, and the more powerful the spiritual bird was, the more it would benefit the cultivator's Dao technique.
With such a Dao Art, it would take a lot of effort to refine one Thunder Fire Black Crow, but after accumulating enough, one could form the 'Black Crow Array'! This formation was incomparably sharp. Gathering nine could be considered a beginner's level, and only gathering eighty-one could be considered a small success. If one truly gathered three hundred and sixty-five 'Thunderfire Black Crows' and set up the formation, it would truly cover the sky and the earth. Its ferocious might would overflow the heavens, and even a Perfected Being would not dare to face its edge!
Of course, the Black Crow Taoist had not even reached a small success in this Dao Art. He could only refine six of them, and he could not even set up the array.
Even so, with the help of six Spiritual Birds, they could be used to scout and attack enemies, and their power was not to be underestimated. Therefore, the Blood Pact absorbed them, and they had already climbed to the middle position.
"Sigh … I didn't expect two spiritual seeds to be wasted just like that. Fortunately, this Black Mountain is so big. Do I have to worry about lacking spiritual birds?"
The Black Crow Taoist's face darkened, and then he became slightly excited.
To him, the three hundred miles of Black Mountain was truly a blessed land. This time, he had volunteered to take the task of patrolling the mountain in order to search for good spirit beasts for backup.
In just a short period of time, he had found three Spiritual Birds, all of which had strong foundations, and could be refined into Thunder Fire Black Crows.
After all, there were many spiritual beasts in the Black Mountain, and a few spiritual crows were nothing.
Unfortunately, he had only refined them once, and when he released them, they were attacked, and two of them died!
To the Black Crow Taoist, this was even more painful than having his flesh dug out!
"But … there are still living people in the Black Mountain? And they could hurt two of my spiritual birds … Looks like it must be the idea of the orthodox Church … "
The Black Crow Taoist felt that it was a pity that Wu Ming and the others had three new birds, and could only give a rough idea.
Otherwise, if it was a spiritual bird that he had refined long ago, he might be able to see the image directly, and that would be even more certain.
"Immediately report to the elders, and let the yellow-skinned monster take action …"
The Black Crow Taoist cherished his life, and naturally did not want to put himself in danger. After all, he was just a mountain patroller. Being able to find traces of the enemy meant that he had completed his mission.
"Hehe … When the time comes, I will definitely not let any of you escape. I will definitely cut open your stomachs and dig out your hearts, and feed them to my treasures. Only then will I be able to vent my hatred!"
With spiritual birds scouting in the sky, and in the enemy territory of the Black Mountain, there was a 90% chance that they would not be able to escape.
"Caw caw!"
Just as the Black Crow Daoist was about to leave, two majestic crows with feathers glowing with light blue lightning, flew down from the sky and cawed. Their bodies were bigger than Crow Seven's, and their feathers were glowing with light blue lightning.
"They actually came after us?"
The Black Crow Taoist's expression changed. Looking at Crow Seven on his arm, he suddenly realized, "Not good at accomplishing anything, but good at spoiling things!"
"Caw caw!"
Crow Seven's body trembled, and he cawed with grievance. His spirituality was indeed extraordinary.
"Only two of them?"
At this moment, more detailed information emerged from the sea of consciousness of the two strange crows, causing the Black Crow Taoist to smile coldly, "Fine! I will let I take you on! "
The fierce name of the Black Crow Taoist was not just for show.
Even though he was not as powerful as the elders of the Blood Pact, but how could an ordinary Samsara traveler fight against the siege of several spiritual birds?
At this moment, he touched his goatee, and his eyeballs turned slightly. He took out two bright yellow Talisman cards and lit them up.
"Caw caw!"
In the mountains, three spiritual birds cawed and rushed over from different directions.
"Hmm! I have summoned my treasures and sent a signal to the elders. Everything is foolproof! "
After the Black Crow Taoist had arranged everything, he looked at the two people who were rushing over.
"Samsara traveler!"
With just a glance, Wu Ming immediately knew the other party's identity from the temperament that did not fit in with the world, the calamity aura on his body, and the disappearance of his lifeblood. "Someone from the Murderous Blood Union!"
"Who would have thought …"
At this moment, the Black Crow Taoist's expression also changed, "I just happened to meet the enemy Samsara traveler!"
Compared to the natives of the original world, the Samsara traveler naturally made him more vigilant. His eyes slightly squinted, emitting a sharp light, "Are you the ones who hurt I's treasure?"
"Just a wild Taoist who plays with birds …"
Wu Ming glanced at the Black Crow Taoist's crotch with evil intentions, "Your treasure is broken, what does it have to do with me?"
