Chapter 292: Crown-Flame Fire Crow (First update, requesting all)

Almost without hesitation, the Flamingo flapped its wings and, like an arrow released from a bow, appeared at high speed above a Fire Crow.

Before the Fire Crow could react, the Flamingo's twin claws grabbed its head, and with a burst of force, they dug in several inches.

The Fire Crow's eyes bulged, dead as could be, and it was immediately dropped by the Flamingo.

The Flamingo was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging straight at the flock of Fire Crows rushing toward it; there was almost no enemy that could withstand a single blow from it, and every few seconds, the corpse of a Fire Crow would fall.

As for the attacks from the Fire Crows, most were easily dodged by the Flamingo, and the rest could not inflict much damage on it.

This flock of Fire Crows had about thirty-some adult Fire Crows; most were of the Shiliu Jingjie, with only two or three reaching the Middle Rank, and coupled with the gap in quality, how could they be the Flamingo's match?

In just a minute or two, more than ten Fire Crow corpses had piled up in the valley; unexpectedly, the Fire Crow flock did not collapse, but instead emitted continuous cries, as if calling for their king.

At the same time, some Fire Crows began to notice Li Zhangsheng and immediately lunged toward him.

Li Zhangsheng summoned the Emperor Crocodile at the first opportunity.

Even though the Emperor Crocodile was a Water Element Demon Pet, it was also uncomfortable in this high-temperature environment, though its heat resistance was much stronger than Kailan's.

"Emperor Crocodile, Water Jet!" Although the Emperor Crocodile excelled at melee combat, it did not mean it lacked ranged attacks.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Emperor Crocodile opened its large mouth; because they were in a high-temperature zone, the Water Element energy here was very sparse, so in this situation, it had no choice but to output energy from its Demon Core.

The next moment, a water column a meter thick sprayed from the Emperor Crocodile's mouth, crackling as it rushed toward the incoming Fire Crows.

The Fire Crows were terrified, but they were caught off guard and were submerged by the water column before they could dodge.

When the water column disappeared, the few Fire Crows fell heavily to the ground; due to the huge gap in cultivation and the fact that they were countered by the Water Element, these Fire Crows were left with no life remaining.

Li Zhangsheng gratefully accepted the corpses of the few Fire Crows and then looked toward the sky, because a massive figure had flown out from the depths of the valley.

This was also a Fire Crow, but its size was much larger than an ordinary Fire Crow; unlike ordinary Fire Crows, flames burned fiercely on its head, forming a bird crest shaped like a crown, and there was a distinct bulge under its abdomen, as if something was about to burst out from beneath it.

This large Fire Crow was very powerful; its cultivation was on par with the Flamingo, and with the help of the Fire Crow flock, it was forcing the Flamingo into a steady retreat.

"This Fire Crow has definitely evolved to the next level, and its Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline is likely a grade higher than the other Fire Crows!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, while directing the Emperor Crocodile to go help, and simultaneously projecting his Mental Power to check the large Fire Crow's data.

Because the large Fire Crow had flown out from the depths of the valley, it had naturally not been included in the range of Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power during his previous scouting.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Crown-Flame Fire Crow

【Spirit Beast Cultivation】: Upper Rank 9

【Spirit Beast Species】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Mid-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Three-Legged Golden Crow (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Fire Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Water

The Crown-Flame Fire Crow is an evolved form of the Fire Crow, a High-level Commander species; if a third leg is born, it can evolve into a Three-Legged Fire Crow.

The key is that it also possesses Mid-grade quality and impressive combat power, making it a decent immediate combat force even for Li Zhangsheng.

"Should I capture it or kill it?" Seeing this Crown-Flame Fire Crow, Li Zhangsheng could not help but hesitate. If put up for auction, this Crown-Flame Fire Crow would definitely fetch over a hundred Soul Crystals.

"Forget it, I don't have the extra energy to raise it, and I don't care about those few Soul Crystals; it's better to just liquidate it into Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence. Judging by the Crown-Flame Fire Crow's bloodline, I should be able to refine a test tube of Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence!"

Li Zhangsheng's standards were getting higher and higher; at this point, he no longer looked down upon a Mid-grade quality Crown-Flame Fire Crow, because even his Temporary Spirit Pets were all of Superior Quality.

After receiving support from the Emperor Crocodile, the Flamingo was invigorated and began to fight to a standstill against the Fire Crow flock led by the Crown-Flame Fire Crow.

"Everyone come out, don't let a single one escape!"

Taking advantage of their entanglement, Li Zhangsheng seized the opportunity to release Aixi and the Light Bird.

Li Zhangsheng did not release Kailan; the temperature in the valley was higher than before, and Kailan would certainly be very uncomfortable, so he naturally had no intention of making things difficult for Kailan.

Roar~

At the first opportunity, Aixi let out a roar, the sound like a thunderclap; its tiger body shook, and a strong Pressure quickly spread out, covering the Fire Crow flock led by the Crown-Flame Fire Crow.

Under this powerful Pressure, the ordinary Fire Crows were clearly frightened, their inner fear rapidly expanding, and their eyes showed terror; most fell directly from the sky, and the remaining few lost their nerve, trembling all over as they tried to get away from Aixi.

The Crown-Flame Fire Crow was also startled; its performance was not much better, and although it did not fall into a state of Cowering, all its abilities inevitably declined, which had a great impact on it—at the very least, its combat power dropped by a grade, and it began to be suppressed by the Flamingo.

The Light Bird flew up and quickly intercepted the few Fire Crows trying to escape, its whole body shining brightly as it transformed into several solid-looking light arrows, hitting the panicked Fire Crows in the blink of an eye.

Bang bang bang bang~

Roaring sounds rang out continuously, and the few Fire Crows fell straight from the sky.

On the other side, the Crown-Flame Fire Crow wanted to escape, but it was tightly entangled by the Flamingo; just as it was about to break free, Aixi used a running start to jump high, leaping straight into the air over twenty meters up.

Under the terrified gaze of the Crown-Flame Fire Crow, Aixi bit onto its wing and dragged it down from the sky.

The Crown-Flame Fire Crow struggled violently, but how could it break free from the tiger's mouth? It instinctively wanted to use its Bird Beak to peck at Aixi, but was stopped when Aixi used a tiger claw to press down on its head first.

Not giving the Crown-Flame Fire Crow any extra chances, Aixi opened its mouth and slapped the Crown-Flame Fire Crow's head into the ground, leaving only its trembling bird body behind.

After a few breaths, the Crown-Flame Fire Crow stopped moving, and like the ordinary Fire Crow corpses, it was all collected by Li Zhangsheng into his Space Ring.

Although the quantity was large, these Fire Crows were relatively small in size, and besides, Li Zhangsheng possessed several Space Rings, enough to accommodate their corpses.

Li Zhangsheng did not let the Fire Crow hatchlings and Fairy Eggs go, sweeping them all up in one go, and then began to explore the depths of the valley to find the Crown-Flame Fire Crow's nest.

Such a "leader of a clan" would often consciously collect things it considered to be good.
