Chapter 320: Chapter 181: Self-Harm Squad_1

"Just kidding," Lu Ran said with a laugh as he saw King of Sudden Death’s bitter face.

Then, he turned his gaze towards Dark Crow.

"Caw." Dark Crow nodded slightly and closed its eyes.

The next instant.

It felt as if the vast majority of the Green Sea territory was emerging in its mind.

However, everything was a blur.

It could only make out a rough idea of the area.

To observe it more clearly, it still needed to project the Eye of the Evil God over there.

For now, the Evil God’s Eye trait had bestowed Dark Crow with unimaginable spatial sensing abilities and a talent for scouting.

It first projected its pupils over to One Ear.

At the moment, One Ear was in a warehouse, giving instructions to its minions.

Suddenly.

The void seemed to tear open as a gigantic dark red pupil opened out of nowhere in the sky.

The pattern of the eye was no different from Dark Crow’s own, both featuring pitch-black eyes with a blood-red vertical pupil.

Gurgle, gurgle...

The eyeball moved within the Evil God’s Eye, and Dark Crow’s perception of the area became even more crisp and clear.

"Meow-wow!!!" However, this scene scared the daylights out of One Ear and the rest, who were in shock as they fearfully stared at the sudden appearance of the Evil God’s Eye, their fur standing on end.

The terrifying pupil watched over dozens of cats, and after a moment, it disappeared, seeking its next target... There was no battle here.

Dark Crow’s scouting range kept expanding, and during this time, Lu Ran continuously engaged in Psychic Sensing with it.

Before long, Dark Crow had extended its surveillance to the edge of the Green Sea.

In this area.

The Insect King was on duty, watching another swarm of mosquito beasts attempting to cross over to the Green Sea, and it wore a hostile expression.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—

A horde of over a hundred mutant mosquito beasts, a black mass, swept in from the skies. Although none of them were above level 10 and were not of a high level, mosquito beasts had become the greatest annoyance for all human cities.

"Swoosh!!!"

Just as the Insect King was about to spread its wings and lead the princes and princesses behind it for some training, suddenly, the Evil God’s Eye opened up again at that location.

The sinister gaze of the Evil God’s Eye not only startled the Insect King and its company but also caused the swarm of mosquitoes to instantly sense an ominous presence, feeling as if they were locked onto by a terrifying entity.

"Found you, intruder."

Atop Jade Mountain, Dark Crow opened its eyes and let out a "caw caw caw" of laughter.

"Devour each other—" It whispered like an Evil God, its curse spirit seeping into the void and speeding towards its locked target.

Originally, Dark Crow’s attack range was about a hundred meters. But now, with the Enemy-Locking talent in effect, its curse flew across five hundred meters, a thousand meters, five thousand meters... The energy naturally consumed was still very minimal.

Soon.

The Insect King tribe guarding the border witnessed an astonishing sight: the sky full of mosquitoes suddenly went mad, their pupils transforming into the pattern of the Evil God’s eyes, "buzzing" as they started to slaughter each other in midair, blood splattering all over the ground.

Next to them, the Evil God’s Eye watched everything, seemingly the root of all evil.

[What is this!] The Insect King was also on high alert, but the Evil God’s Eye just gave them a faint look, then closed its eye, slowly fading away.

Tapping into their contract connection and Psychic Sensing, Lu Ran could roughly sense Dark Crow’s accomplishments and was astounded.

Such a distance, yet it easily cursed a group of enemies. If it were in a simpler Secret Realm, perhaps they really could kill the Boss without even seeing it, completing the map and greatly speeding up the efficiency of resource gathering...

"Ahh!!! My eyes, my eyes!!!"

"I can’t see anything, it’s so dark!!"

However, Dark Crow didn’t even manage to revel for a few seconds before blood slowly trickled down from the corners of its eyes. Locking its gaze on an enemy from such a distance put a terrifying strain on its eyes.

Off to the side, Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death, though unaware of what had happened, displayed expressions of disdain.

Is such a minor injury worth all the fuss?

But they soon fell silent, exchanging looks. Why did it seem that everyone in the team had to inflict self-harm in a fight?

"Buzz!"

The next moment, Lu Ran held the Deer Horn of God and gave it a light wave. A golden-green healing wave surged forth, instantly healing General Crow’s pupils.

"Huh?" Blood flow stopped, vision restored, Dark Crow was startled.

"As long as I’m here, don’t be afraid. Even if your eyes get destroyed, I can heal them," Lu Ran assured.

"Our king is invincible!!!"

"Ah... such grand Power of the King!!!"

Dark Crow General was thrilled!

"..." Meanwhile, Lu Ran was already eager to take Dark Crow to a Secret Realm challenge.

To see if it could just curse the Boss from the spot and complete the map, efficiently farming the area.

However, noticing Cloud Baby off to the side, Lu Ran fell into a slight contemplation, realizing he needed to deal with the little one first.

"Drip..." At the moment, Weather Spirit grew even more fearful of General Crow when it saw the mysterious bleeding from its eyes.

Feeling hurt by this, Dark Crow sensed it was indeed not a bad crow.

"Next, let’s try out your power."

Lu Ran looked towards Weather Spirit—a level 1 Middle King, theoretically capable of holding its own in a battle with a level 20 Medium Overlord and even posing a fight against a level 10 Intermediate Leadership.

So, don’t underestimate the Weather Spirit just because it was newly born; its strength is definitely formidable!

"Right, since it’s an elemental, can it shape itself?"

Lu Ran looked toward Cloud Baby and said, "You can change your body shape, right?"

Lu Ran took out his phone and pulled up a picture of a little girl...

"No, that’s not right, you can’t see."

"Do you remember the big sister who left our house when you woke up? Do you remember the big sister who just went down the mountain? Take a look and see if you can morph into something like them."

"Ga?" Dark Crow rubbed its eyes.

The Weather Spirit, however, was slightly stunned.

As a cloud, capable of many transformations, it naturally could take any shape. It’s just that with its young age it didn’t understand why Lu Ran wanted to do this.

This most basic form, wasn’t it more comfortable? Why complicate the shape...

Nevertheless, since Lu Ran had asked for it, the Weather Spirit complied and began to mimic a humanoid form.

Before long.

It went from being a marshmallow-like clump of fog, constantly shaping itself until it took on the image of a girl. Although its body was still entirely made of white clouds, its appearance had become much more animated compared to before.

"Eh heh, it really worked," said Lu Ran with a sparkle in his eye.

"Can you use thunder in this form?" Lu Ran asked. Immediately after, the Weather Spirit transformed from an ordinary cloud into a black thundercloud, with currents of electricity flickering within its body...

Boom.

A bolt of lightning was casually flung from its arm and continued to pierce and scorch several large trees before dissipating.

...

A moment later.

The Weather Spirit was so tired it fell asleep again.

Lu Ran shouted out of thin air.

"Manager Ying!!!"

"What the hell?" Manager Ying was summoned on the spot and looked at Lu Ran speechlessly.

This guy, why such a fuss?

"It’s nothing major. The Weather Spirit is asleep again. Could you help me take care of it? I’m heading to Infinite City to buy some baby formula for it."

"Why is it always—?" Manager Ying was about to say, ’Why is it always me?’

Then she widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the Cloud Baby in Lu Ran’s arms.

Because that damn Lu Ran had actually shaped Cloud Baby into a little cloud cat form, asleep.

Similar to Manager Ying’s own race!

Trying to trigger Manager Ying’s maternal instinct.

Manager Ying: ???

"You’re supposed to play with Elemental Race like this???" she looked at Lu Ran furiously.

Alright, pulling the family card, was he?

"Haha..." Lu Ran laughed as he scratched his head and said, "The main thing is, the cat form is quite cute, right, Manager Ying? You wouldn’t want such a cute Cloud Sprite to turn into a Husky form for battle later, would you?"

Manager Ying: ???

"Woof woof woof!!" Next to them, Mr. Husky protested, not liking the sound of that.

"Roar!!" King of Sudden Death thought neither cats nor dogs were reliable and believed that transforming into a cloud giant dragon for battle would be the real deal.

"Ga." Dark Crow was still wiping away tears, oh cloud crow, oh cloud crow.

Manager Ying looked at Lu Ran’s three oddball Pet Beasts and then again at the adorable little cloud cat, pondered for a moment, and reluctantly said, "Just don’t let it turn into a dog."

Mr. Husky: "Woof woof woof woof!!"

He would remember this grudge.

"Hahaha," Lu Ran couldn’t help laughing; he had Manager Ying wrapped around his finger just like that.

"Laugh it off."

"By the way, Manager Ying, Mr. Husky, King of Sudden Death, and Dark Crow’s evolution traits are all prepared, and there’s no rush for post-evolution cultivation directions. But for the Weather Spirit, the Nature Manipulation Trait takes up one slot, and that’s still not enough..."

"Do you have any intelligence on any Overlord Boss that is similar to its abilities?"

"In the second-level Legendary Secret Realm."

Lu Ran planned to find an opportunity to challenge the second-level Legendary Secret Realm. The second-level Legendary Secret Realm in Xia Country was the Tomb of Death, where the boss was a Lower Overlord of the Asura’s Centipede Race. This creature had a low probability of dropping a trait suitable for the Weather Spirit.

So, he directly asked Manager Ying if there were any second-level Legendary Secret Realms in any Public Infinite City or other countries that had an Overlord Boss with weather-controlling powers.

If such an entity existed, Lu Ran intended to try his luck there, hoping for a suitable trait to drop, which would save him the trouble of figuring it out himself.

"You call me the bastard of Infinite City, don’t you? I want to see if it can yield a suitable trait for me."

If it didn’t, then Lu Ran could use those resources to exchange for others he needed.

"Let me think," Manager Ying said. "Mongolia’s second-level Legendary Secret Realm has a boss that is a juvenile Lower Overlord of the Desert Tyrant Race, wielding the power of sandstorms—invincible and unbeaten so far."

"Egypt’s second-level Legendary Secret Realm has a boss that is a juvenile Lower Overlord of the Sun Eagle Race, mastering the Power of the Sunlight."

"There’s also a Public Infinite City in international waters with a boss that’s a young dragon capable of summoning storms and controlling thunder and lightning—a typical Eastern dragon, which could be quite compatible with the Weather Spirit."

"Oh, and there’s a second-level Secret Realm boss in another country, which is a mutated sea beast that can summon highly corrosive acid rain. Hmm, you definitely wouldn’t like that."

"OKOK, compile the information and send it to my phone. If the boss data comes with a certain strategy, that would be best. I’m heading to Infinite City now." Seeing that Manager Ying was still so reliable, Lu Ran handed over the little cloud cat to her and hurried off to Infinite City.

He was ready to spend! He was ready to test Dark Crow’s abilities on a Secret Realm Boss!

Lu Ran called back his self-harm squad and, in an instant, teleported away with Manager Ying cursing under her breath!
