Chapter 520 - 244: Mysterious Valley! A Flock of Thousands of Birds!_2

Su Ping shrugged and continued looking at the Little Crow.

"Little guy, is this your home?"

"GAGA!"

As expected, the Little Crow let out a piercing cry and nodded.

Home.

"So, do you want to drive away the invaders who have come to your home?"

Su Ping had come here to back up the Little Crow and lend a hand. How they would act still depended on what the Little Crow wanted.

At this moment, a human-like expression of sorrow and anger appeared in the Little Crow’s eyes as it continued to nod. "GAGA!"

"And revenge?"

Su Ping lifted his eyebrows.

Only then did he realize that crows are creatures that live in flocks. However, here, he did see some Flame-Eating Crows, but they seemed to have no connection to the Little Crow. Apparently, of the flock of Flame-Eating Crows that used to live here, only this mutated Little Crow remained, its combat power surpassing that of ordinary Flame-Eating Crows.

Su Ping stroked the little fellow’s jet-black feathers.

After a month of close contact, he had developed some affection for this little creature. The little fellow was grateful and resolute, qualities Su Ping greatly admired.

Most importantly, it was the same old adage: wild Pet Beasts, in truth, held little practical value. Unless a powerful Spiritual Pet Beast intervened, it was very difficult to tame them and establish a Soul Contract with a Beast Tamer. Even if a Soul Contract was forcibly established, some with vicious temperaments might still disregard their Beast Tamer’s commands. Moreover, if these wild Pet Beasts were solitary, it would be one thing, but congregating in such large numbers, they could pose a significant threat and danger to Beast Tamer cities.

Su Ping liked Pet Beasts, but he wasn’t a mindless do-gooder. He knew when to treat and nurture certain types, and when to be wary, control, or even eliminate others.

So, after a moment’s thought, Su Ping nodded, "Okay, let’s work together to clear out the birds in this valley. However, if you see any younglings or particularly rare bird-type Pet Beasts, help me capture them alive."

"No problem!"

The others waved their hands, and light flared before them. With Da Huang present, they could act without any reservations!

Thus, one Pet Beast after another was summoned.

Flower Fairy, Crown Wolf Emperor, Life Ancient Tree,

Hourglass of Time, Speech Ice Cicada, Annual Ring Tiger.

Void Weaving Spider, Space-Cutting Mirror, Crystal Earthworm.

Each one could be said to be more peculiar than the last. But they were indeed truly powerful.

Su Ping thought for a moment and also summoned his Paperman.

The little fellow had been practicing Swordsmanship. Without actual combat, the gains would be minimal, and this was the perfect opportunity. It was just a pity that Old Sha hadn’t been brought along this time, and Xiao Qing wasn’t strong enough to participate in such a battle. Nevertheless, Su Ping was quite interested in this potentially unknown Secret Realm. The reason was simple. His Talent, ’Pet Beast Home,’ after advancing, had the Home of All Spirits effect strengthen all abilities associated with his Space Characteristics. This naturally included the effects of Space Absorption. However, he had already swept the Secret Realms in Jianghai clean before he’d had a chance to try absorbing some incomplete ones to see how much feedback he’d gain. Now, if an absorbable one appeared, it would satisfy his curiosity. Perhaps it would enable him to break through to the Commander Level in one fell swoop?

These flickering lights attracted all the birds in the valley.

However, what Su Ping hadn’t anticipated was that even upon seeing these invaders, the birds showed no reaction. They seemed stupefied, behaving as before, unwilling to even move. Only after seeing Da Huang did fear and wariness appear in their eyes. It was an innate fear of Dragons. But, however strange the situation, they would still fight back when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

"YAAAH!"

Qian Yi’s excited cry attracted the attention of many birds. Even Ye Zhou, Dong Muxuan, and the others turned their gazes toward the Paperman.

Was this the little fellow who broke the Magic Capital Academy’s Elite Level trial record? They were curious to see what was so special about it.

Therefore, none of them had their Pet Beasts attack, instead watching the Paperman.

And just then, Qian Yi made its move.

Qian Yi could be said to have a wealth of experience facing enemies that could fly. The Five Elements Sword and the Sword of Lightning were sheathed on its back; it undoubtedly held the Sword of Wind in its hand.

Gale of Resolute Destruction.

This wind-based Swordsmanship once again showcased its sharp edge.

All the birds could sense that the Energy fluctuations from this Paperman seemed to be only at the Elite Tenth Rank. But the sword’s speed was so immense that its target, a Commander Fifth Rank Iron Feather Golden Eagle perched on a branch at the valley entrance, didn’t even have time to react. The eagle had only just registered the Paperman’s sword strike heading its way when its wings had just begun to flap. In that split second, blood and feathers flew everywhere. The Paperman and the Iron Feather Golden Eagle—its body severed at the waist before it could even react—fell from the tree together.

Silence.

Not only were Ye Zhou and the others stunned, but even the other bird-type Pet Beasts, and Da Huang who had been closely following Su Ping and his group, were momentarily taken aback.
