Several junior crows covered their eyes with their wings, yet couldnât resist peeping through tiny cracks, stealing glances at the room.
Slap!
Slap! Slap!
Brandishing a bamboo whip, Su Lu cracked on the crows Ada and the others, causing them to scurry around the room, feathers fluttering and their squawks filling the room: âGot your Crow Kingdom, got your Crowmen⊠why donât you just shoot for the stars?â
âGreat master, thatâs not our responsibility, it was all Adaâs idea.â
Aâer and Asan quickly sold out Ada.
âYouâŠâ
The rescued Ada looked aggrievedly at Aâer and Asan: âYou guys are traitors!â
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, another whip hit the top of his head: âYouâre a bird and youâre talking about loyalty!â
Su Lu was indeed angry.
His original intention was to low-key, but in the end, the small fry under him caused such an uproar.
Whatâs more crucial was that if he didnât send out a spiritual body to observe tonight, maybe they would have all been arrested.
Even defeating birds requires the masterâs discretion!
In the end, he was the one who had to step in and rescue these seven dumb birds.
âGreat master, Ada has always been following your orders, to better monitor the entire East City, we need to bring it under our control!â
After choking and gasping for quite a while, Ada finally spat out the words.
âYou mean⊠it was my command?â
Su Lu was so angry that he hit him with another whip.
This crow really knew how to twist commands and improvise, reminding him of a certain bone comic from the island country, where Bone Arrogant Sky was unknowingly set up by his subordinates to conquer the world.
âActually, upon reflection, this Ada and his minions are indeed alike, they might cause an uproar if you donât keep an eye on themâŠâ
âNoâŠwe wouldnât dare!â
âThe great master didnât do anything wrong, only we did!â
A group of crows obediently lowered their heads like guilty children.
âForget it⊠the situation is what it is.â
Su Lu threw away the bamboo whip: âWe canât stay in East City anymore⊠and dissolve whatever Crowman Organization you had! Donât go to other cities, get lost in the wild.â
With all kinds of evolved creatures now roaming wildly, these guys could easily blend in, just like drops of water disappearing into the sea.
The Skynet would only carry out surveillance in major cities, where they did not have the ability to extend their forces into the wilderness, which ensured safety.
As for the current surveillance network in East city? Su Lu decided to let the spiritual body take over.
As the only âNecromancer Apprenticeâ he was in a state of âlower-dimensional strikesâ, where the medium-level soldiers were more stealthy than crows anyway.
âThat will be it, you can go now.â
Su Lu waved his hand: âRemember to add a layer of illusion technique while you fly, if anyone sees you flying out from here, I will cook you!â
âWhimperâŠplease donât.â
âWe swear on our lives that we will never be discovered.â
âYou can trust us, great master.â
Seven crows all flew out of the window one after another.
As they flew, a misty light enveloped their bodies, like the protective color of the chameleon, making them blend into the environment and become indistinguishable.
High in the sky, seven crows lined up, and one crow suddenly accelerated to the front:
âWhy are you all acting depressed?â
Ada looked at its six brothers and announced loudly: âAlthough we failed in our last mission, the great master has given us another task⊠we are to conquer the wilderness! In the wild, weâll establish our rightful kingdomâŠno! Empire!â
âBuzz off!â
âAda, youâre terrible, we wonât believe you anymore.â
The six crows all started to curse at Ada.
âThis time you all heard the masterâs command with me.â Ada proclaimed loudly: âAre you all planning to defy the great masterâs command?â
âThatâŠâ
âIt seems like Ada has a point.â
âThe great master ordered us into the wilderness to establish a real empire!â
âAh, we swear on the crow familyâs name, we will definitely accomplish the task!â
The crows all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, becoming particularly excited.
Su Lu probably never imagined that the drama king crow under him was not just a single crow, but a flock!
âŠ
In the evening, various store signs and neon lights came on.
Bai Jing Restaurant was operating as usual.
Su Lu wiped his knife while taking a glance at his own attribute table:
âAh, experience points. Once again, theyâre not enough.â
The experience points heâd earned from the crowsâ surveillance and occasional monster hunting were mostly spent on skill improvements and promotion to âNecromancer Apprenticeâ. Now, Su Lu found himself back to zero experience points.
âThe advancements for the Necromancer Apprentice are âSpirit Summonerâ! Prerequisite Spirit Communication Skill LV4!â
Other occupational people needed to upload their professions, and get information through induction, but not Su Lu.
He was always clear about his own path.
âAs long as I have enough experience points and some special materials, when the worldâs restrictions are lifted, I can quickly progressâŠâ
âNow that the crows are gone, I can only rely on spiritual bodies for surveillance. Where can I strike a big win? Should I head back to the wilderness? But itâs become very dangerous there nowâŠâ
While Su Luâs was pondering, Li Weiwei and Cheng Feng walked in.
âSame as always?â
Su Lu took a glance, noticing that Li Weiwei had been promoted and Cheng Feng seemed to be not far behind, so he couldnât help but ask with a smile.
âYes, bring three bottles of red wine first, you can prepare the rest of the dishes as you see fitâŠâ
Cheng Feng laughed, beckoning Li Weiwei and Lin Hong to sit down. All three of them simultaneously took out their phones.
âWhatâs the emergency that called us here so soon?â â Li Weiwei.
âIâm in trouble⊠or rather, we all are.â Cheng Feng looked around with caution, typing rapidly: âThe notables of the Eye of the Ancient God have arrived in East City.â
He was not surprised, it would have been strange if the other party had not sought revenge after the last failure.
âI heard⊠that Robinson who died in the last incident was your doing?â â Lin Hong.
âOf course not.â
Cheng Feng forced a smile, trying to act cheerful: âLetâs eat and drinkâŠâ
Underneath the table, a message was rapidly typed out: âIâve specifically checked, the Eye of the Ancient God is a mysterious organization, believed to be associated with the scientists who fled from the White Eagle. They possess some very magical techniques.â
âThis time, my family canât help me, I need your help!â
âRest assured, I will surely help you.â
Li Weiwei declared, âCome⊠letâs drink to our heartâs content!â
Su Lu quietly watched this scene unfold, finding it quite interesting.
