Ten seconds, eleven seconds...

Until twelve seconds later.

The eyes of this white seagull suddenly underwent a magical alienation reaction. Like the big red eyes, the originally round pupils suddenly turned into long, vertical pupils like pointers, and then returned to their original shapes in an instant.

Fluttering Ridge –

The white seagull flew onto Aiwen's arm, and after a detailed examination through digital vision observation and spiritual perception, Aiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It worked!"

Its appearance has not changed in the slightest, but Evan has confirmed through deeper connections that this white seagull has acquired the innate ability of "extraordinary sense of direction", or rather, its own extremely strong sense of direction has been exponentially strengthened and completed a qualitative change.

"Thank you!"

He gently stroked the back of the seagull's neck to show encouragement, and did not blush at all because he had just started thinking that "there are the most white seagulls anyway, and it won't be distressed to fail one or two!"

The first time you succeed, the rest of the course is logical.

One by one, large and small seabirds fly down to the big red eyes and look at it, and after the ability is activated, they flap their wings and fly away, replacing the next one.

It's just that based on the variety, size, and original talent, the time spent on each seabird is different, and the energy consumption of the circle is also different.

Until dawn approached, there was still a thin layer of power left in the circle, and the big red eyes became very illusory. At this time, the last and most special member of the flock flapped its wings and fell silently to the ground.

But it wasn't a seabird, it was a very cute-looking snow-white owl.

It is exactly what Avan plans to transform into a "base station".

In fact, based on the experience of his previous life, Evan knew that the true intelligence of an animal like an owl could almost be called stupid among birds, and it was even less worthy of mentioning the "genius" among birds such as crows and parrots.

But in the occult, the owl has a unique symbolic meaning, and is synonymous with "wisdom" in various schools and even in the Church of the Gods.

So as a wizard rather than a scientist, Evan chose the owl rather than the mysterious "crow" and the standard "parrot" of many pirate captains in film and television dramas.

As for the owl brain of the transcendent world, he doesn't know, anyway, Aven's heart is quite big, and his IQ is not enough for witchcraft to make up... He had been mentally prepared for a long time.

Very lucky.

The owl, a bird that originally had no special sense of direction, successfully possessed the magical ability of an extraordinary sense of direction after consuming the last power of the ritual circle.

However, it is worth mentioning that until the big red eyes formed by the ritual completely dissipated, Evan had no desire to try it himself.

As a spellcaster, he knew that this ability was very useful, especially for a sailor who had to spend a lot of time adrift on the sea. But there is a price to pay that could permanently change the nature of a small part of the soul, and Aven is really grateful for that.

Until he really understands the principle of this witchcraft, there is no way that Evan will use it on himself.

As the sun rises.

Evan lifted the outer spiritual barriers and barrier walls, and a breeze blew through, blowing away all the embers and debris of materials that had accumulated on the ground after the ritual had ended.

The smooth bluestone is still the same as it was, as if nothing had happened here.

After that, Evan rested for the whole day, although with his physique it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for a week, this time was mainly to give the birds a chance to adapt to their new abilities.

The next night, the second phase of the ritual resumed.

In order to ensure the stability of the "signal", the bandwidth, memory and CPU of the "base station" must meet the standards.

Owls have well-developed auditory nerves, and the inward-facing discs of their faces are also very conducive to information gathering. The main purpose of the second step is to upgrade its critical hardware such as memory and CPU.

Routinely prop up barrier walls and spiritual barriers to avoid disturbances.

Unlike the first stage the day before yesterday, this time the ritual Aven had been preparing since it was dark, but the official start of the ceremony was about the same as the first time.

Ai Wen was also a little helpless, although this time the target was only the owl himself, but it took Ai Wen a full three hours just to draw the rune spell that was several times more complicated, and the precious materials consumed were far better than the last time.

However, Ai Wen actually knew that although the technique he designed met the basic requirements of the ritual effect, it was limited by the knowledge and ability he had now, and there were too many redundancy and shortcomings.

In many places, it is necessary to rely on the ultimate plug-in of "not enough knowledge to make up the golden lion" to achieve the desired effect, which also causes many precious materials to be wasted in vain, and their pockets are greatly reduced.

"If it doesn't work out this time, I'll stew you!" Evan said "viciously" Watching his head turn one hundred and eighty degrees and looking at his owl very cutely, Evan said "viciously".

However, how to improve the knowledge system and continuously improve the ritual is a matter of the future, and today's transformation is a great success as long as it can achieve the expected minimum goal!

In the middle of the moon, the spiritual energy of the forest reaches its highest.

Large sections of incantations containing natural vitality came out of Aven's mouth, and the poor owl, whose wings were tied and lying on the ground with its feet bound, gradually became quiet from the constant struggle, and then fell into a deep sleep.

As the four corners of the circle were placed, the "sacrifice" of some kind of ape-like brain tissue gradually weathered into ash, and the red light mist in the middle of the circle began to diffuse, turning from weak to strong in a very short period of time, and finally almost reflected the entire alienated jungle.

Whew-

When the red light reached its strongest brightness, it suddenly retracted and collapsed, surrounding the body of the owl in the middle of the circle, covering it with layers of red aura, and finally forming a thick blood-colored cocoon.

The countless blood-colored lines on the ground composed of incantations also moved as if they were alive, slowly climbing and growing like the roots of a tree vine. Then they gradually came together, and gently lifted the round blood cocoon that the owl had turned into into a small tree in the air, like a misshapen little tree with a huge fruit.

Boom.. Boom.. Boom..

The faint heartbeat of an owl could be heard from the blood cocoon, but it was like a drum in this deliberately quiet environment.

"I can't help you with the rest, ask for more blessings!"

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest depends on Comrade Owl's own creation. Aven wasted no time waiting, sitting cross-legged and gradually falling into a meditative state.

While arming himself with foreign objects, he did not forget that his own strength was his foundation, and the improvement of his strength was slowly accumulated bit by bit.

The owl's transformation took a little longer than Evan expected, the sun rose and the moon set, until three days later, the blood cocoon, which had originally looked like flesh, had expanded several times and became translucent.

You can even see through the flesh wall, the owl inside, which has become much larger, curled up with its eyes closed, twitching from time to time, as if a person is tossing and turning when he is awake or not.

"It must be successful!"

From this moment on, Ai Wen did not leave an inch, did not meditate, did not eat, just waited to welcome the new life of the owl!

Finally, it was dusk the next day.

Po –

At the sound of the blister bursting, Evan's spirits lifted.
