Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

After the appearance of the crimson mutant bird.

Another half hour passed.

Linjiang City.

Crow's Nest.

Director Liu from the branch, along with Commander Zhang from Shangjing City, arrived at the bottom of the Crow's Nest together.

Liu Hei opened his eyes to glance at the two, then closed them again to continue resting.

Just now, it led the Spirit Crows to clean up the poisonous mosquitoes in the western district of the city, now feeling a bit fatigued.

Director Liu and Commander Zhang exchanged a look; both faces filled with helplessness.

This Spirit Crow has such a personality; sometimes it really can be a headache.

However, both of them were very clear that the Spirit Crows aren't subordinates; quite the opposite, they are the "support" of Linjiang City.

Nobody can boss them around.

Of course.

Except for the mysterious Mr. Spirit Crows.

Director Liu stepped forward and spoke: "Mr. Liu Hei, a mutant poisonous mosquito has appeared in the northern region of Hedong Province.

"When Great Xia mobilized the army to eradicate it, a mutant bird suddenly appeared and easily killed the mutant poisonous mosquito.

"After comparison, we found that the appearance of this mutant bird slightly resembles the Spirit Crow."

Although the commanding soldiers carefully compared, they were uncertain.

After all, the appearance of the mutant bird was too dazzling, surrounded by a faint flame.

Director Liu posed a long-suppressed question: "Begging your pardon, is this mutant bird also a Spirit Crow?"

It took two full seconds.

Only then did Liu Hei lazily nod its crow head, indifferently calling out: "Caw!"

That's a definite yes.

Commander Zhang gasped softly: "It really is a Spirit Crow!"

This general couldn't resist showing off his foresight: "When I saw the mutant bird, I immediately thought of Mr. Spirit Crows."

Director Liu cast a glance at this fellow, too uninterested to say more.

Ha!

Many soldiers at the command thought of the same thing; your foresight isn't much.

Commander Zhang sighed: "How exactly does Mr. Spirit Crows cultivate Spirit Crows into mutant creatures?"

As far as he knows, Great Xia has mobilized a large team of researchers, pouring extensive resources to study this topic.

To put it nicely, the research progress is slow.

To put it bluntly, there aren't any decent research results.

Yet Mr. Spirit Crows effortlessly achieved such astounding results silently.

Director Liu still didn't respond, only his face blooming into a chrysanthemum smile.

Because he suddenly realized, Mr. Spirit Crows is a far bigger support than imagined.

With Mr. Spirit Crows stationed in Linjiang City, the city's safety was assured.

Just then.

"Caw!"

Liu Hei cried out.

It grabbed its phone and flew from Lengshan, landing on the circular stone platform.

Director Liu instantly reacted, respectfully greeting: "Mr. Spirit Crows, good morning!"

Of course, he knew that once Liu Hei took out the phone, it must mean Mr. Spirit Crows has focused attention here.

Commander Zhang hurriedly followed to greet: "Mr. Spirit Crows!"

Liu Hei spread its wings in response.

It lowered its bird head to start typing: "The armed helicopter brigade seems to be carrying an unusual item?"

Director Liu prepared to answer.

But was a step late.

Commander Zhang eagerly chimed in with praise: "Mr. Spirit Crows really has sharp eyes!"

He continued eloquently: "The command mobilized a deceitful artifact called the 'Spirit Reading Compass' to hunt down the mutant poisonous mosquito.

"Speaking of which, this artifact's usability is thanks to your friend Mr. Ghost.

"Last time, Mr. Ghost killed a mutant poisonous mosquito, and we extracted a small part of the mutant mosquito's limbs, letting the Spirit Reading Compass devour them.

"The deceitful artifact then gained a magical sensing ability, which can broadly sense the location of the mutant poisonous mosquito within a certain range."

Director Liu glanced at his colleague, cursing inwardly: When I asked you, you didn't explain so thoroughly.

Due to the high confidentiality level of the deceitful artifact, his military rank was only Lieutenant Colonel, without access to consult the artifact's materials.

Commander Zhang sighed again: "However, every activation of the Spirit Reading Compass results in permanent loss of some life force for the user.

"After the battle ended, the operator aged at least ten years, and could only directly transfer to a logistics role."

Liu Hei nodded its bird head: "The cost is too great."

The general's tone lowered: "We have no other choice; many soldiers actively volunteer to be operators."

"Caw!"

Liu Hei cried out once more, then picked up its phone and returned to the Crow's Nest.

Director Liu whispered, "Mr. Spirit Crows suddenly cares about this matter; could there be a way to resolve the negative effects of the deceitful artifact?"

Commander Zhang shook his head, "Not likely."

Even the Mysterious Visitor has no solution, and as a knight-level powerhouse, he doesn't believe Mr. Spirit Crows can achieve it.

Commander Zhang pondered for a moment and speculated, "Mr. Spirit Crows may have other methods to detect mutated poisonous mosquitoes."

Linjiang Airport.

To save electricity, most of the airport is shrouded in darkness.

Yang Fan hid in a shadowy area and whispered, "A deceitful artifact? How interesting!"

The red mutant bird that amazed everyone was, of course, Black No.33.

The clone used the Soul Stealing Wisp to extract 1.6 Spiritual Source Value from the mutated poisonous mosquito.

Yang Fan was far away at the airport, observing the entire combat process.

The compass operator's hair turned almost half white, leaving a deep impression on him.

His curiosity piqued, he asked Liu Hei about it.

Yang Fan glanced at the news on his phone, murmuring softly, "Emperor's Blade?"

The so-called "Emperor's Blade" is the superpower user agency established by the Ying Sang Kingdom, equivalent to the Jiuzhou Legion of Great Xia.

Recently, the official control has been slightly relaxed.

Information about mutated poisonous mosquitoes and superpower users is drastically increasing online, often overshadowing the usual celebrity gossip.

News like "Someone from our community has awakened a superpower and ran three laps around the community while carrying a car" always catches the attention of many people.

Yesterday, information related to the Emperor's Blade was trending.

This was a news release by the Ying Sang authorities, primarily stating that the Ying Sang Royal Family reviewed an elite force composed of five hundred superpower users.

In the news footage, there's also a shot of the superpower users shouting, "Long live the Great Sakura Empire" in unison.

The Ying Sang news brazenly labeled it as "the strongest in history."

Many people online debated whether the Jiuzhou Legion was stronger or the Emperor's Blade.

Yang Fan sneered, "Is this summoning ghosts from the past? Quite disgusting indeed."

He opened another video.

This was a fishing boat that had gone out to sea, encountering a patrolling sea ship from the Ying Sang Kingdom.

A Ying Sang soldier suddenly waved his hands towards the Great Xia fishing boat.

"Woosh～"

A large wave mysteriously surged up and crashed into the fishing boat violently.

The fishing boat swayed fiercely, nearly capsizing.

The Ying Sang superpower user laughed loudly, occasionally pointing at the fishing boat as if wanting to do it again.

The Great Xia fishermen were both angry and fearful, quickly steering the fishing boat away.

This video has also been a recent viral sensation.

A cold glint flashed in Yang Fan's eyes, "Since the Ying Sang people boast about having so many superpower users, they shouldn't mind if I go collect some powers myself, right?"

To him, it's resource recycling.

Reclaiming the Ying Sang people's superpowers and having them utilized by him, a Xia person.

No problem at all!

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a buzzing sound.

A poisonous mosquito suddenly emerged from the darkness, flying toward Yang Fan.

It sensed fresh flesh and blood.

Yang Fan extended a finger, waiting for the mosquito to bite.

The normal process for a mosquito to suck blood is to silently approach, "numb" the target first, then suck blood.

The poisonous mosquito is particularly aggressive, coming right in for a bite.

A moment later.

The needle-like proboscis of the mosquito pierced Yang Fan's fingertip skin.

In that instant.

The skin's surface shimmered with a faint golden hue.

The needle-like proboscis snapped right off, and the broken tip turned to pierce through the mosquito's head.

The mosquito fell to the ground, struggled a few times, then lay still.

Yang Fan glanced again at the shadowy airport, "The poisonous mosquitoes are becoming more numerous."

Using the Spirit Concealment Superpower's sensing abilities, he at least detected hundreds of poisonous mosquitoes hidden in every corner of the airport.

He looked down at the mosquito's corpse, recalling more, "The military's use of deceitful artifacts to detect mutated poisonous mosquitoes is indeed too costly.

"Does each appearance of a mutated poisonous mosquito exhaust the life force of one or several soldiers?

"Perhaps by comprehending the Primordial Life Decree, a solution could be found.

"Perhaps during this trip to the Ying Sang Kingdom, I might try it during my leisure."

The direct distance from Linjiang City to the Ying Sang Kingdom is over three thousand kilometers, taking at least ten hours by Falcon.

Whereas flying on a large jet airliner would only take at most four hours.

Therefore, he found himself at the airport, planning to catch a free ride on a Sakura Airlines flight.
