Chapter 50: Knocking Over the Crow's Nest (3500 words)

Seeing that Ai Wen didn't turn his head and run away, the crow ghost woman grinned, revealing her jagged black and yellow teeth, and laughed like a crow.

He plucked a black feather from his arm and threw it at Evan.

The feathers fall very gently and slowly...

I don't know what the hell she was trying to do, but Ai Wen was on guard with a sword in his hand, but he didn't take the lead in attacking.

The abilities of the Dharma Transcendents are unpredictable, even if they become monsters. There is a high probability that the crow ghost woman will inherit some of the abilities of the witch before her death, and she must not simply treat them as ordinary monsters.

Prudence is a virtue.

But if the time is put in a few years, the experienced Ai Wen will definitely not let a spell be cast at will without interference, and it is only right to cut it with a sword, without saying a word!

One second, two seconds...

When Evan realized that something was wrong, he suddenly realized that his body was stiff and he didn't obey the call at all.

It's like falling into a nightmare, and I'm very conscious with my eyes open, but my body can't move at all.

Obviously, this is a kind of witchcraft that acts on the spirit, and even at the beginning, Evan unconsciously went around in circles thinking that he had hit the "ghost hitting the wall", which was also the strange effect of this witchcraft.

But fortunately, Evan himself is not the only one who lacks the experience of dealing with opponents of different transcendent paths!

The crow ghost woman obviously didn't understand how different the resistance of an ordinary person and a formal knight to witchcraft was, it was good to unknowingly guide him to get lost just now, but now this kind of spiritual witchcraft equivalent to a frontal attack was not enough to completely control Ai Wen, who had completed his transcendent transformation.

Click-

Just as it jumped down from the tree, ready to take out the young man's fresh heart and liver and feast on it.

Whewβ€”β€”

A brilliant sword light rushed towards it, and when it was almost unresponsive, it slashed across half of its shoulders without hindrance.

"Poof!"

A limb with wings and claws fell to the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that Aven's body was still stiff, causing the deviation of the blade's landing point, it might have been its ugly head that landed at this time.

Ga β€”β€”!!!

With a piercing wail from the crow ghost, Evan felt as if a spike had been stabbed in the head. After hesitating, countless crows flying in the sky had already swooped down, blocking the route of Aivan's pursuit.

Ai Wen, who had just suffered a loss, did not dare to let this monster escape, and through the barrier formed by the crows, Ai Wen had already seen that the crow ghost woman was staggering back, and soon she would hide behind the trees again.

Without hesitation, he pulled out his short musket from his waist with his right hand, and then analyzed the movement trajectory of the crows, seizing the fleeting short gap, and Evan shot decisively.

Bang –

The crow ghost woman fell in response, and a large hole was made in the ugly head, and white, dark red decaying matter flowed to the ground.

A foul stench spread through the woods.

Fluttering Ridge - Fluttering Ridge –

The crows that were still blocking Evan instantly panicked, flapping their wings and scattering in an instant.

He turned a gun flower casually, blew the smoke from the muzzle, and handsomely inserted the musket back into his waist.

Evan was about to breathe a sigh of relief...

"Ga β€”β€”!!!" "Ga β€”β€”!!!"

Two terrible screams from different directions rang out in quick succession.

He didn't even bother touching the corpse, Ai Wen turned his head and ran wildly! The handsome face was extremely distorted, and he didn't know if it was because of anger or fear?

"MD, there are still two ?!!!"

......

While Evan was fleeing for his life outside the woods, three strangely dressed figures strode into the foggy swamp woodland.

The three of them wore long leather trench coats of uniform style, long swords hanging from their waists in military boots, three standard short muskets were inserted side by side on the armed belts on their shoulders, and leather gloves were worn on both hands, and not even a trace of skin was exposed on their bodies.

The most bizarre thing is that they all wear a full-length bird's beak mask on their heads, close to the transparent crystal tablets of their eyes.

With the black costume, it looks like three big crows are coming from a distance!

Their swords and muskets bore the silver insignia of a humanoid crow, and they looked like they were fighters affiliated with an official organization.

"Sean and Saidlis, although you have just joined the Raven Army, the code of conduct must be strictly enforced from now on. The man who walked in front of him and looked like a leader spoke at this time, his voice was a little distorted through the mask, but it did not prevent the other two from hearing clearly.

There was still some distance to the mission location, and Sean recounted the information he had gathered. ”

"Yes, sir!" replied one of the men who followed.

Objective: The monster "Crow Ghost Woman".

Species & Characteristics: Twisted witchcraft creations, beware of possible psychic witchcraft.

Information already available: The earliest sightings were two days ago, when four hunters with bows were killed by demons...

"Purpose of the mission: To confirm whether the crow ghost woman who appeared this time is related to the 'Three Sisters' who escaped from the frostleaf woodland. If it is not related, kill it on the spot, and if it is related, try to weaken and cut it off on the premise of ensuring your own safety. ”

Two days ago, hunters spotted a humanoid monster with crow features in a woodland near a saltwater swamp, and a survivor who escaped after several casualties reported the situation to the town hall.

Then the Raven Army, which was subordinate to the Kingdom's Extraordinary Incident Management Department, sent a three-person team to deal with it as a follow-up.

"We've entered the range of the crow's ghost woman in the intelligence. I ordered, now go into combat mode.

Check your equipment and talismans, be wary of psychic attacks, take battle formations, and move forward!

The commander took the lead, and the two newcomers moved sideways on defense and began to act.

"For Her Majesty!"

......

Fluttering Ridge –

Quack Quack - Quack Quack –

Under the continuous attack of crows, Aven ran wild through the woods.

With vigilance, the crow ghost woman's spiritual misdirection could no longer affect Aivan's judgment, and she quickly moved forward along the path she had opened up when she came.

It's just that Ai Wen didn't expect that the group of crows that had escaped would fly back after hearing the cries of other "crow ghost women", causing great trouble to Ai Wen's escape.

Qiang –

Attack while running.

The long sword in Aiwen's hand had almost turned into a cloud of silver light, slashing down the huge crows that were not afraid of death.

At this time, he didn't dare to use his body to bet on whether the claws and beaks of this abnormal-looking crow species were contaminated with deadly toxins or germs.

Fortunately.

After the extraordinary transformation of the flesh into a violent body began, Aiwen's physical fitness had surpassed the limits of mortals, and he could hold on for a long time with a simple sword dance.

But Evan didn't dare to relax in the slightest now.

Not long after killing the first "Crow Ghost Woman", he was surrounded by an even larger flock of crows, and his retreat was severely delayed.

Knowing that two crows would catch up at any time, there was no point in killing more ordinary crows.

If there is only one Raven in the back, there is still a chance that Evan will try to kill, but the problem is that there are at least two in the back.

He bet that if he tried to fight back, they would never mind taking turns brushing themselves with "stiffness" and then directing an endless flock of crows to tear themselves into strips.

The battle royale game lasted almost thirty minutes.

Evan expected that he was close to the outskirts of the woods, and that even the scattered puddles and mud puddles had largely disappeared by here, proving that he had made a good choice of direction.

Probably seeing that ordinary crows could no longer stop Aven, with two strange "quack" calls, five crows larger than the size of the eagle accelerated out of the forest behind them.

Hearing the familiar "quack" sound, Aven had a hunch that the crow ghost woman was already very close to him, and these five extra-large crows should be their last resort.

The speed of his feet did not decrease, and Evan raised his spirit, always on the lookout for the oversized crow that had flown above his head.

Quack –

Quack –

With the crow's roar, the attack came as scheduled, but it was not an imaginary physical attack, but a spiritual witchcraft that should have belonged to the crow ghost woman, and the effect was extremely disgusting.

"Sorcery, Demoralization!"

Five attacks fell at the same time, and Evan was completely surrounded by a ruthless and endless frustration in an instant.

Mourning! Very mournful! Completely unable to lift any momentum.

The vigorous steps gradually became heavier, wielding the long sword as if dancing a mountain, and a negative and depressed voice sounded from the bottom of Aiwen's heart.

"What are you running, how tiring it is to run for your life. Forget it!"

"Sooner or later, this life will come to an end, so what's the difference between an earlier and a little later?"

"My arms are so tired, I want to throw away such a heavy sword......"

If ordinary people were attacked like this, they would have been killed a long time ago, but Evan gritted his teeth and restrained his frustration of drowning people with a huge will.

In fact, this is somewhat similar to the situation when the official knight broke through, they all used their own will to restrain negative emotions, and Aven, who already had relevant experience, could still grit his teeth and persevere.

"Damn, we have to find a chance to kill these stinky birds first!"

Quack –

"Sir, there's movement ahead, it looks like the crow of a crow!"

On the other side, a team of three crowmen also slowly approached the battlefield.

Hearing this, the chief of the crow man made a gesture, and all the staff hid, cautiously touching the direction where the voice came. The movements are efficient and capable, and they are obviously professionally trained elites.

As the group approached, the crows' chirping and the flapping of their wings became louder and louder, and soon the crows marching in concealment approached the edge of the battlefield of the man-bird war.

"Hissβ€”β€”, such a big crow!"

Although Saidlis is the elite of his class, he is young after all, and although he has seen many strange-shaped monsters in the Bestiary, it is the first time he has seen them in person.

"Someone is fighting with crows, what a strong swordsmanship!"

Everyone's focus is obviously different, and Sean then asks:

"Sir, are we going to help?"

Aven, who didn't know that he had been watched by the inhumane onlookers, had already suddenly attacked and successfully killed two large crows who could use spiritual witchcraft. Although their abilities are special, they are still mortal in nature, and in addition to their larger size, their hand-to-hand combat ability is not much stronger than that of ordinary crows.

Evan was glad that the range of these big crows was very limited, and the "Demoralized" attack had to be close to Evan to be used. If you really throw the debuff far away under the protection of ordinary crows like the Wizard, even Evan will have to numb claws.

Whoosh –

"The third, slash!" As they approached again, Aven repeated his old trick like a dexterous ape, stepping on the treetops and leaping up, swinging his long sword, and was about to cut off the third big crow.

Unexpectedly, after a few times, the crow, who was already very smart, also had a long memory, and when he saw him jump high, he immediately flapped his wings and climbed quickly, and escaped at the last moment.

Only the tip of Aven's sword slashed his wings, flapping his wings to maintain balance, and staggering to the other side.

Aven spun lightly in the treetops, his toes on the trunk of the tree, and flew down like a bird of prey.

Murderous intent is in full swing!

The crow will naturally be killed when it lands!

Quack –

"Oh no, it's a demoral! Get out of the way, stay away from it. ”

Coincidentally, the injured big crow staggered and landed right where the crow team was hiding. Then, Evan was startled by the sight of three strange black figures jumping out of the grass.

"nnd, did you stab over the crow's nest today?!!"

Ai Wen felt that he had exploded more foul language today than in his life combined.

The ravens didn't care about Evan's emotions.

While the three of them leapt to dodge, the silver talisman tied around their necks had already weakened the effect of demoralization for them, and the experienced Raven Commander was the first to draw his spear in his hand, and quickly shot as he retreated.

Bang –

"Quack!" the short crow crow stopped abruptly.
