Chapter 6: The Scourge of the Crows
Behind the house is a manor, and a dozen ghosts have been sent to take the lead to investigate. didn't hear any movement, Zhang Chen guessed that there shouldn't be any big problem.
Zhang Chen went to the garage from the basement floor, passed through a password door next to the garage door, and after entering his fingerprints, he unlocked the door and successfully entered the southeast corner of the manor.
His ghost was hovering around the manor at the moment, seemingly unaware of the danger. But Zhang Heng kept an eye on it and inspected it in person. The entire estate covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters, with several partitions, separated by compartments, and it will take some time to explore them all.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Chen appeared in the fruit tree area, and looked up at the vines hanging from the grape trellis, which were already full of fruit.
"The grapes have been ripe for a few days, so let's pick some snacks for dinner back."
The blood-red grapes were picked by him, and after carefully washing them several times with the tap water wrung out of the faucet next to him, Zhang Chen peeled the grapes and squeezed them into his mouth.
It's not very sour, but it feels very sweet, and there is a faint rust taste, which makes Zhang Chen feel that something is wrong, could it be that the grapes are too ripe and spoiled?
Fully ripe grapes will fall, and those that have not yet fallen should not spoil. Zhang Chen tasted another one, and also noticed a rusty smell, which seemed to be ...... Blood?
Zhang Chen would not give the food in question to his sister, he came to the mango tree, the mangoes on it were all yellow, exuding the unique sun-like fragrance of mangoes, which made people feel refreshed.
Zhang Chen picked a mango and used his three-millimeter-long fingernails to make a cut in the mango's skin. The orange-yellow juice overflowed from the flesh inside, and Zhang Chen's palm was suddenly dyed orange.
The fruit trees in the manor are all excellent varieties carefully selected by him, especially mangoes, because his sister Zhang Yuxi likes to eat mangoes, Zhang Chen specially chose the kind of varieties with thin skin, thick flesh and small seeds.
Tear off the thin coat of the mango, revealing the orange-yellow flesh inside, and take a bite, the taste is as delicate as eating a roasted sweet potato, the taste is very sweet, and the fragrance of the mango goes straight to the nose. After tasting a mango, Zhang Chen was already half full. He picked a few more big ones, thinking of giving them to his sister for dessert after dinner.
"I'm here to inspect the safety of the manor, and I almost forgot about the fruits." Putting the mango in his pocket, Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.
The entertainment area of the estate.
Neat sports equipment is lined up in one area, and knee-high weeds grow in the sand pit next to it, because they have not been managed for a long time, and the weeds have not been cleaned up for a long time.
Next to the sand pit is a towering tree, the lush canopy shrouds the shadow area that more than fifty square moonlight cannot invade, and under one of the thick branches, there are two swings hanging, Zhang Chen remembers that he and his sister swung on the swing when he was a child, especially in summer, it is most comfortable to enjoy the shade here.
But Zhang Chen didn't get close to the swing, and when his footsteps stepped into the shadows that the moonlight could not reach, his eyes vaguely caught a few blood-red eyes falling on the branches.
The color of the crow's feathers blended with the darkness, but the blood-colored eyes caught Zhang Chen's attention, making him vigilant and take a step back.
There were no crows on their estate, and there were no crows in the vicinity. Crows are scavengers and often haunt places where carrion is present and feed on carrion. Some of the habits of crows came to Zhang Chen's mind.
The crows on the branches also seemed to have spotted Zhang Chen, and let out a few high-pitched cries, as if warning Zhang Chen.
More crows appeared on the branches, standing in a row, roughly counting as many as twenty or thirty, and roared towards Zhang Chen.
Only then did Zhang Chen discover that there was a fleshy mixture in the canopy, like a nest, but it could spontaneously wriggle, like a mass of some kind of animal meat.
Tai Sui?
Or is it a new species that emerges after the revival of Reiki?
Zhang Chen clearly saw that the new crows that fell from the meat ball still had mucus left on their bodies.
This is, in the birth of a new crow.
This scene inevitably reminded Zhang Chen of the "Diablo II" he had played, and there was a similar species in it, called the Stinky Crow. The foul-smelling crow is born from the crow's nest. What was different was that Zhang Chen didn't smell the stench.
Regardless, the presence of creatures similar to those found in the dark on his manor is not to be underestimated.
His ghost did not appear in the vicinity, as if instinctively avoiding the crows, indicating that the crows were more threatening than the ghosts. Zhang Chen slowly stepped back, trying not to alarm these crows as much as possible, so as not to be attacked.
After exiting a hundred meters, Zhang Chen sent a ghost as a white mouse for the experiment in order to test the strength of this group of crows.
When the ghost invades the canopy, the crows on the branches also let out a warning roar. This is still in the crow's range, not yet in their range. Zhang Chen could be sure that once they were within range of the crows, they would start attacking.
Under Zhang Chen's order, the poor "white mouse" floated upwards again, and as soon as it floated two meters away, the crows on the trees fanned their wings one after another, fluttering and attacking the ghost!
Not far away, the crow's roar was heard, and the crow's sharp teeth tore at the ghost's soul, each biting could take away part of the ghost's soul. Not to be outdone, the ghost killed a crow, but it was a drop in the bucket, and new crows kept pouring out of the crow's nest, replenishing the lost number.
In a short time, the crow swarm killed the ghost at the cost of losing three crows.
No wonder the ghosts didn't dare to approach there, the fighting power of these crows should not be underestimated. The loss of only three crows is nothing for a nest that can produce a crow nest in a few seconds, and Zhang Chen only has about twenty ghosts in his hands, how to resist it?
"If you want to deal with the crow trouble in the manor, you must find a way to directly end the crow's nest."
"But now is not the time, the ghost alone can't do it, I need a stronger helper."
Zhang Chen thought in his heart, the person had returned to the villa, locked the door to the manor, and locked all the doors that could be locked all the way.
He probably won't go to the manor again until he has the strength to destroy the crow's nest.
Zhang Chen went upstairs.
"Brother, I forgot to bring a bath towel, help me get it." Passing by the door of my sister's room, Zhang Yuxi's voice came from inside, accompanied by the sound of water in the bathroom sprinkler.
Zhang Chen twisted the doorknob, it was not locked, and the door opened in a flash.
Zhang Chen saw a snow-white fluffy bath towel hanging on the shelf in the room, so he picked it up, "Open the door, the bath towel helped you find it." ”
The bathroom door opened a small opening, and a jade hand reached out, and her snow-white shoulders could be seen along the arm. Zhang Chen put the towel on her hand, "I helped you pick some mangoes, it's almost dinner later, mangoes are your dessert after dinner, I'll go prepare dinner now, you can come down and help after taking a bath." ”
Zhang Chen is the chef every time she cooks, but she will occasionally ask Zhang Yuxi to take a hand to exercise her hands-on ability.
