Chapter 309: Chapter 182: The Dragon Egg’s Natural Patterns, Wuyu’s Advancement (Part 3)

To summon a level-three Otherworldly Creature, you’d need a Level 6 Monster Summoning Technique at the very least.

"Should I find some Wanderers for you to practice on?" Pei Ze muttered under his breath.

Wuyu flapped its wings, looking eager to try.

Just then, as if he had sensed something, Pei Ze’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked outside.

At the same time, Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were guarding the cave entrance, also stood up, their gazes wary as they looked into the distance.

"My lord, someone’s coming."

...

Pei Xingxu and Pei Shijie stared at the empty valley, their expressions filled with astonishment.

’Where’s the Netherworld Crow Swarm?’

"Don’t tell me they migrated?" Pei Xingxu said, his brow tightly furrowed.

"Impossible!" Pei Shijie denied without a second thought. "This is the only place within a thousand kilometers with such a dense aura of death. The Netherworld Crows wouldn’t just migrate away, unless..."

Pei Shijie didn’t finish his sentence, but Pei Xingxu already understood.

Unless a powerful invader had seized their territory, forcing the Netherworld Crows to migrate.

Or unless someone else had struck first and captured the Netherworld Crow Swarm.

And judging by the traces left at the scene, the latter possibility was more likely.

After all, the crater-pocked valley had clearly just been through a great battle, yet not a single Netherworld Crow corpse remained. It was obvious the perpetrator was after the Netherworld Crows themselves, not their territory.

"Someone’s here!" Pei Shijie suddenly looked up and to his front-right.

Pei Xingxu also quickly sensed the unfamiliar aura. He turned to look and saw a tall, slender figure slowly rising into the sky, wearing a silver mask, with a crow perched on his shoulder.

Below them, there was also a man and a woman.

However, upon discovering the two were only Legendary Knights of the third or fourth rank, Pei Shijie and Pei Xingxu immediately lost interest and focused their attention on the strange man before them.

’A Wizard.’

Sensing the Mental Force Field emanating from the man, Pei Shijie’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Right now, the last thing he wanted to encounter was another Wizard.

But what made him even more alarmed and uncertain was the crow on the man’s shoulder.

For some reason, that crow gave him an extremely dangerous feeling!

He hadn’t even felt this way when facing the entire Netherworld Crow Swarm.

"Who are you? And where is the Netherworld Crow Swarm?" Pei Shijie asked in a low voice.

Pei Ze’s gaze swept over the two men. "Before asking questions of others," he said lightly, "you should first state your own origins."

Pei Shijie frowned slightly, exchanged a look with Pei Xingxu, and said slowly, "We are Wizards from another plane. We came here to capture the Netherworld Crow Swarm in this valley."

"Then that’s quite unfortunate. I’ve already taken care of the Netherworld Crow Swarm here."

Hearing this, the expressions of Pei Shijie and Pei Xingxu changed.

They had been counting on capturing the Netherworld Crow Swarm from the valley to advance their experiments. But now, someone had beaten them to it, and their hearts instantly filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

Netherworld Crow Swarms were already rare and difficult to find. Who knew how long it would take to find another one in the vast Shadow Realm?

Pei Xingxu’s face was incredibly grim. Just as he was about to shout a question, he saw Pei Shijie give him a look, signaling for him to look at the crow on the man’s shoulder.

Pei Xingxu was taken aback for a moment. He looked closely, and a moment later, a thought struck him.

’What a dense aura of death!’

He instantly had a vague understanding. What the man meant by "taking care of" the Netherworld Crow Swarm was that they had probably all been used on this one crow.

In the Wizard World, methods of using similar Magical Creatures to strengthen a Magic Pet were not uncommon. The man had likely used such a technique.

Pei Xingxu and Pei Shijie exchanged a look, and a plan immediately formed in their minds.

’With the Netherworld Crow Swarm gone, using this crow as a substitute doesn’t seem like a bad idea.’

’From the looks of it, this crow is clearly much stronger than a Netherworld Crow. Perhaps the experimental results would be even better.’

At this thought, a glint appeared in Pei Shijie’s eyes. He said, "Sir, I wonder if you’d be willing to sell that Crow Magic Pet of yours? The price is negotiable."
