Chapter 172: 154. The master is a Spirit Beast Messenger
Just as Yang Fan fused out the middle grade superpower "Spirit Beast Messenger".
Spirit Crows Black no.6 stood on a tree branch, watching a large group of superpower users enthusiastically mining the Celestial Mountain.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Continuous muffled noises came through.
Since construction machinery could not enter temporarily, only superpower users could violently mine.
The highest commander of the Jiuzhou Legion, Wu Dingtian, had been busy for most of the night, his stamina greatly depleted, and had already rotated out.
This commander, standing next to Black no.6, said enthusiastically, "At the current pace, it is estimated that the Yu Gong Plan can be completed in six days.
"As long as this over 200-million-ton Celestial Mountain is moved within the borders of Great Xia, no nation will be able to covet it anymore."
Calculating this, nearly more than 30 million tons of ore are transported daily on average.
This is a very huge number.
The infrastructure in Shapudian is extremely poor, and Great Xia urgently mobilized millions of people and a large number of transport vehicles to accomplish this feat.
Wu Dingtian's tone was filled with pride: "Looking across the entire Canglan Star, only our Great Xia can achieve this."
Black no.6, who is quite adept at spoiling the fun, asked, "Why does the whole plan need six days? Can't it be faster?"
Wu Dingtian explained, "Mr. Liu Hei, from here to the border of Great Xia, only half the distance is by railway, the rest can only be transported by road.
"There is a section of about eighty kilometers where the road conditions are extremely bad, that's the main bottleneck in transportation.
"Moreover, the ore is transported by heavy trucks, which wear down the road greatly, so speed is hard to maintain.
"If we hadn't specially mobilized a group of superpower users to temporarily act as road workers, it's possible that even ten days wouldn't be enough to finish the transport."
Black no.6 asked again, "Didn't the enemy sabotage the transportation line?"
Wu Dingtian immediately replied, "How could there be no sabotage?"
The commander gave an example: "Two hours ago, a squad of superpower users from the Southern Cross Alliance crossed our blockade line and attempted to sabotage the railway.
"Fortunately, Mr. Ghost's first disciple, Zhuang Jun, noticed the unusual aura in time, and the military promptly sent the air force to bomb the suspicious area.
"This group of people was bombed with one dead and one critically injured, and the rest of the superpower users immediately scattered and fled.
"However, with Zhuang Jun's telepathic detection, the military found these people in just ten minutes, and not one of them got away."
Wu Dingtian added at the end: "Not just Zhuang Jun, the performances of the other dozen disciples were all excellent as well.
"The superpower users trained by Mr. Ghost in just an hour played a significant role for the Great Xia Military."
This commander seemed afraid Liu Hei might have some thoughts, so he quickly added, "Of course, Mr. Liu Hei also played a significant role."
"Caw!"
Black no.6 let out a cry, saying in a disdainful tone, "Am I that petty?"
Wu Dingtian hurriedly said, "Of course, Mr. Liu Hei is not."
He couldn't help but think inside, "Who here doesn't know, you're the most petty of all, Liu Hei."
Black no.6 immediately exposed his petty side: "Even though I'm just a bird, the contributions I've made to Great Xia far surpass those Ghost Disciples."
Wu Dingtian nodded repeatedly: "I think so too."
Changing the subject, this commander said, "The top level of Great Xia initially thought the first night after the Celestial Mountain's arrival was the time of greatest pressure for Great Xia.
"Led by the Carmenia Federation, countries of the Western Hemisphere would certainly join forces to apply pressure.
"But who would have thought Mr. Ghost suddenly pulled such a move, making the Carmenia Federation so busy they had no time to intervene in Shapudian."
Wu Dingtian sincerely praised, "This move is truly a stroke of genius!"
Black no.6, however, did not respond.
Instinctively turning his head, Wu Dingtian suddenly noticed that the Spirit Crow seemed a bit off.
It appeared that Black no.6 had fallen into a strange state, both bird eyes vacant and lifeless.
Wu Dingtian was startled, quickly asking, "Mr. Liu Hei, what's wrong with you?"
Black no.6 remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Wu Dingtian's heart skipped a beat, tentatively asking, "Mr. Spirit Crows, do you have any advice for us?"
He thought it was Mr. Spirit Crows descending here through Black no.6's body.
By the way.
Regarding the two towering pillars in the supernatural domain of Great Xia, Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows.
Superpower users within the Jiuzhou Legion generally found Mr. Spirit Crows more mysterious.
After all, although Mr. Ghost had never shown his true face, he at least appeared frequently.
Mr. Spirit Crows is different.
To date, this mysterious bigwig has never appeared, and no one even knows if this bigwig is male or female.
However.
Black no.6 still did not move.
Wu Dingtian's heart suddenly sank.
Oh no!
Could it be that something has happened to Black no.6?
If something really happened, and right in front of his eyes, the Jiuzhou Legion would have a hard time explaining to Mr. Spirit Crows.
Mr. Spirit Crows has done so much for Great Xia, yet the Jiuzhou Legion couldn't even protect a single Spirit Crow.
Wouldn't that be a disgrace to Mr. Spirit Crows?!
A second later.
Wu Dingtian suddenly sensed a surge of mysterious power within Black no.6.
The commander was stunned for a moment, suddenly having a certain guess in his heart.
"Caw!"
Black no.6 let out a loud cry.
It didn't flap its wings, yet its body mysteriously floated up and hovered in mid-air.
Wu Dingtian's eyes widened as he blurted out, "What the hell! It's mutated!"
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that Liu Hei was undergoing a transformation, about to become a truly mutated creature.
In the past, Liu Hei was merely a Spirit Crow with relatively strong special superpowers.
Some of the surrounding Superpower Users noticed the commotion and gathered around, wanting to witness the rare biological mutation.
Wu Dingtian frowned and shouted, "All of you, stay back!"
A burly Superpower User casually said, "Commander, watching won't cause any harm, right?"
Most Superpower Users were not from a military background, so in terms of discipline, they were indeed a bit lacking.
Wu Dingtian emphasized, "There's a certain probability of superpower loss of control during the awakening process, which could harm those nearby."
The burly Superpower User remained unconcerned, "How powerful could a Spirit Crow's awakened superpower be?"
Wu Dingtian directly ordered, "Everyone, follow the command!"
The word "command" was barely out when.
Wu Dingtian's expression changed.
He hurriedly stepped forward, blocking in front of the burly Superpower User.
At the same time.
"Wooo~"
A shrill scream was heard.
A wisp of faint black mist, like smoke and haze, shot out from Liu Hei's feathers, speeding like lightning towards the burly Superpower User.
Wu Dingtian roared, his body rapidly expanding, instantly turning into a stone man.
In the next moment.
The black mist hit Wu Dingtian's chest.
"Sss!"
A tooth-aching sound was heard.
A deep mark appeared on Wu Dingtian's stone skin surface, looking like a knife mark.
This commander looked down and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes, "Impressive!"
The burly Superpower User turned pale with fright.
Only then did this guy realize that if Commander Wu hadn't blocked the strike, he would have been split in two.
The burly Superpower User swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Commander!"
Wu Dingtian glanced at him, unabashedly saying, "When we return, you go into solitary confinement for a week."
The burly Superpower User was unfazed, "Yes, Commander, I do deserve punishment."
The others, without needing instructions, consciously retreated by more than ten meters.
Very soon.
Liu Hei underwent changes visible to the naked eye.
Each of its feathers began to shine with a golden-iron color, their texture resembling black iron.
Its beak and a pair of sharp claws had a tinge of white and shimmered with a cold light on the surface.
One look and it's clear.
The beak and claws were not ordinarily sharp.
Wu Dingtian glanced at it, muttering to himself, "Strong!"
Just based on intuition, this commander judged that Liu Hei's superpower level surpassed over ninety percent of the Jiuzhou Legion's Superpower Users.
A few seconds passed.
"Caw!"
Liu Hei let out a cry and vigorously flapped its wings to take flight.
The mutation process was complete.
Wu Dingtian stepped forward and smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Liu Hei!"
He inwardly thought: In the future, it's really best not to provoke this petty Spirit Crow.
Now, Liu Hei truly had the power to easily kill a Superpower User.
Liu Hei didn't respond, simply praising loudly, "Thank you for the master's gift!"
Wu Dingtian heard the implication in this statement and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liu Hei, did Mr. Spirit Crows help you awaken your superpower?"
Liu Hei answered honestly, "The master granted me a Spirit Beast Mark, and I awakened a superpower called Sharpness."
Wu Dingtian was even more shocked, "Just one mark can awaken a superpower?"
Liu Hei's tone was full of pride, "The master's abilities far surpass your imagination."
Wu Dingtian curiously inquired, "By the way, what superpower does Mr. Spirit Crows possess?"
Liu Hei hesitated for a moment but didn't hide it, "The master is a Spirit Beast Messenger."
Everyone, including Wu Dingtian, remembered the words "Spirit Beast Messenger" firmly.
"Caw!"
Liu Hei called out again.
It landed on the tree it was on earlier, using its beak to gently peck.
"Boom!"
A soft sound was heard.
The three-meter-high tree instantly shattered into countless pieces, scattering and falling down.
Wu Dingtian's eyelid twitched several times.
A large group of onlooking Superpower Users all had their expressions change.
Even a fool could see what terrible consequences would occur if that peck landed on a human body.
