Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

The investigation team leader, Jia Linfeng, struggled to hide his disbelief: "Letting a crow help us solve a case—are the Jiuzhou Legion kidding us?"

He couldn't help but criticize: "The Jiuzhou Legion has gathered superpower users from across the nation; can't they find someone better suited than a crow?"

A subordinate revealed more information: "The Jiuzhou Legion also mentioned this Mr. Spirit Crows is incredibly powerful.

"It resides in Linjiang City of the Great Xia Hedong Province and has an extremely strong master, called Mr. Spirit Crows.

"Mr. Spirit Crows' flock possesses very special abilities. They've helped the Liren Branch in Linjiang City resolve many troubles."

Finally understanding the implications, Jia Linfeng asked: "Through this Spirit Crows Black no.6, can we contact Mr. Spirit Crows and his flock?"

The subordinate nodded: "Exactly!"

Jia Linfeng pondered for a moment and decided to give it a shot: "Did the Jiuzhou Legion mention how we can contact Spirit Crows Black no.6? Are we supposed to call Hedong Province?"

The subordinate immediately replied: "The Jiuzhou Legion also said Spirit Crows Black no.6 followed an air force transport plane to Shapudian and should be interested in visiting Blessed Land.

"Given the proximity, the Jiuzhou Legion recommended Spirit Crows Black no.6."

Jia Linfeng found this peculiar: "A crow boards a transport plane, and the air force doesn't intervene?"

The subordinate had specifically inquired about the details: "Apparently, Spirit Crow had assisted the air force before, so they naturally wouldn't chase it away."

Jia Linfeng deviated from the topic slightly: "What's a crow doing in Shapudian?"

The subordinate shook his head: "The Jiuzhou Legion isn't sure of the reason either."

Jia Linfeng clicked his tongue in amazement: "Quite interesting!"

The investigation team leader's mind began to believe that perhaps this Spirit Crow could indeed be helpful.

An hour later.

Spirit Crows Black no.6, on an official trip, arrived in the airspace of Blessed Land.

Jia Linfeng set aside any pride, leading some subordinates to meet it.

Blessed Land had several helicopter landing pads, and the meeting location was one of them.

The Great Xia base at Plante Airport specially dispatched a helicopter to bring Black no.6 to Blessed Land.

Soon.

The helicopter landed steadily.

"Caw!"

Black no.6 rushed out of the cabin at the fastest speed, cursing: "Annoying!"

It didn't forget to fly to the cockpit, dropping a load of bird droppings on the windshield.

The pilot watched the scene with a helpless expression.

Many people knew Black no.6 was notoriously averse to helicopters.

Jia Linfeng's eye twitched slightly.

He suddenly wondered if inviting such a peculiar crow was a wise decision.

But given the situation.

He had no choice.

Jia Linfeng stepped forward, loudly greeting: "Welcome, Mr. Liu!"

"Caw!"

Black no.6 returned the greeting: "Hello!"

To this day, this guy has also learned the language of Great Xia, speaking quite fluently.

Black no.6 was impatient: "Where're the people?"

By "people," it meant the suspect the investigators suspected—Wei Ji.

Jia Linfeng gestured: "Mr. Liu, please follow me."

Soon.

Black no.6 saw a video related to Wei Ji.

It let out a "caw" and said, "This guy is very dangerous."

Jia Linfeng asked: "Why?"

Black no.6 expressed something cryptic: "I see a tortured soul from him."

It purposely added: "I'm not talking about Wei Ji's soul."

A bunch of investigators showed varied expressions.

Most didn't believe a word.

Simply watching video material and claiming to see tortured souls—it's too far-fetched!

Jia Linfeng asked again: "Are the other souls those of the victims?"

Black no.6 nodded its bird head: "Yes."

Jia Linfeng pursued further: "So, Wei Ji is the perpetrator, lying all along?"

Black no.6 said something strange: "Wei Ji is the perpetrator, but also not."

The investigators looked puzzled.

Jia Linfeng continued to ask: "What does that mean?"

Black no.6 refused to elaborate.

It switched topics: "Go find Wei Ji now, and you should bring some capable superpower users."

Jia Linfeng nodded: "Alright!"

Soon.

In a simple panel house.

Black no.6 saw Wei Ji.

Wei Ji was engrossed in studying a plant, occasionally jotting down lines.

Jia Linfeng stood cautiously at the door, calling out: "Professor Wei."

Wei Ji adjusted his glasses and looked back: "Anything?"

He followed it with a puzzled "hmm."

Because he saw on Jia Linfeng's right shoulder, there stood a pitch-black crow.

Each feather of this crow seemed faintly glowing, appearing quite extraordinary.

Wei Ji stared at Black no.6 and curiously asked: "Is this a mutation of crow?"

Jia Linfeng was about to respond.

Black no.6 jumped in, retorting: "Are you a mutation of humans?"

Jia Linfeng found it amusing, silently thinking, "Truly a petty crow."

He naturally realized Mr. Liu Hei didn't appreciate being called a "mutation of crow."

Wei Ji had a good temper, merely smiled: "I wish I were a mutation of humans, so I could research myself."

Black no.6 scrutinized Wei Ji for a few moments and said: "What a pity."

Wei Ji was puzzled: "Why?"

Black no.6 didn't answer but instead asked: "You really don't remember what you did?"

Wei Ji grew even more confused: "What did I do?"

Black no.6 replied deliberately: "You ate people."

Upon hearing this.

Including Jia Linfeng, all the investigators were stunned.

Jia Linfeng whispered: "Mr. Liu Hei, this accusation is grave; do you have evidence?"

Mr. Liu Hei ignored him.

Wei Ji frowned: "Crow, don't talk nonsense, how could I eat people?"

Mr. Liu Hei's tone was full of sarcasm: "Am I talking nonsense? Don't you know what you've done yourself?"

Wei Ji became angry: "Don't slander me!"

Mr. Liu Hei flapped his wings and croaked: "Could it be that you're still nostalgic for your human identity, so you've deliberately forgotten some things?"

Wei Ji's expression became strange. Instead of refuting, a trace of peculiar bewilderment appeared.

Jia Linfeng was startled and instinctively took a step back.

The implication of Mr. Liu Hei's words was that Professor Wei seemed to have become a human-skinned man-eating monster.

And judging from Professor Wei's reaction, these words might be true.

Jia Linfeng immediately recalled what Mr. Liu Hei had just said—this guy is extremely dangerous.

Each piece of information alone made one a bit skeptical.

But when all the information was put together, the credibility was very high.

At that moment.

Mr. Liu Hei suddenly opened his bird's beak and spat out a spark: "Monster, burn to death!"

"Whoosh!"

The spark grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a blaze, rushing towards Wei Ji.

Wei Ji's face twisted extremely, roaring with a hoarse voice: "Crow, die!"

With this roar.

Wei Ji's mouth opened to an astonishing degree, probably no less than one hundred and twenty degrees.

Hundreds of sharp tusks instantly sprouted, looking incredibly terrifying.

At that moment.

Everyone was stunned.

Jia Linfeng had a thought: "Mr. Liu Hei was right!"

So Wei Ji really had turned into a monster!

So Wei Ji really had eaten people!

Because with such an appearance, even if one claimed not to have eaten people, no one would believe it.

After a moment.

The flames hit Wei Ji.

"Boom!"

The flames exploded.

The entire temporary shack instantly shattered, everything inside burned.

"Caw!"

Mr. Liu Hei croaked and flapped his wings in time to fly up, avoiding the shockwave from the explosion.

Jia Linfeng was less fortunate.

He was standing right at the door; a wave of flames rushed over, instantly burning his hair off, leaving burn marks on his face.

Meanwhile.

Under the impact of the violent airflow, he stumbled back several steps, losing balance and falling down.

Jia Linfeng also saw a large mass of flames crash out from the inferno, quickly rising more than ten meters high.

This mass of flame quickly dissipated, revealing a grotesque figure.

On its back grew a pair of black wings, at the joint parts, sharp claws emerged.

Its body was covered in chunks of black rugged scales, clearly showing incredible defensive power.

On its head, two slightly curved sharp horns protruded.

Jia Linfeng found it hard to believe his eyes.

Oh my gosh!

Wei Ji had turned into this ghastly appearance.

At this moment.

The monster roared with a hoarse voice.

"Crow, I will bite your flesh piece by piece, making you die in agony."

"Caw!"

The crow's caw reached Jia Linfeng's ears.

Along with a voice: "The master was right, 'Winged Demons' are all innately lowly creatures.

"Clearly thorough monsters, yet they like to blend into other races and constantly self-hypnotize into believing they're not monsters, how pathetic!"

Jia Linfeng fell to the ground with a "thud", more thoughts flashing through his mind.

This kind of monster is called a Winged Demon.

The master's crow had already seen through the monster's true identity.

The next second.

"Bang! Bang!"

The heavy gunfire suddenly sounded.

Jia Linfeng immediately saw the Winged Demon shaking as if it were struck by an iron hammer.

Clearly, it had been hit by large-caliber bullets.

At that moment.

Jia Linfeng suddenly realized: "So, the superiors sent us here to investigate just to mislead this monster.

"We were just the obvious card on the table, while there was another hidden card.

"The Jiuzhou Legion orchestrated all this, they had invited Mr. Liu Hei and secretly arranged a team of snipers.

Though they used me as a decoy, I couldn't help but admire them.

For this truly was an excellent strategy.

"Hiss!"

The Winged Demon let out a painful screech, struggling to escape to the distance.

"Bang! Bang!"

The gunfire continued.

Jia Linfeng clearly saw the trajectory of the bullets leaving a faint red trace.

The Winged Demon trembled a few more times, and its body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Jia Linfeng secretly guessed: "Are these bullets specially modified to deal with the Winged Demon?"

"Caw!"

Another crow caw.

Mr. Liu Hei's voice carried a tone of satisfaction: "Stupid monster, the master used a little trick, and you fell right into the trap."

"Hiss!"

The Winged Demon roared again.

The voice carried anger and a hint of unavoidable weakness.
