The Cunning Crow

Bars are a great place for fast-paced urbanites to relieve stress. After half a year of miniature disasters, the entire city has fallen into silence, and the once bustling bars have also fallen into dust and become silent.

However, a crisp sound from the glass shattered the silence of the dimly lit space. A pitch black bird smashed through the glass and slammed onto a bar counter with a loud and sturdy crash. Two people hugging each other fell from the bird's body, rolling and falling onto the comfortable and soft sofa. One of them shimmered with a metallic luster in the light.

The shimmering figure was naturally Tom, dressed in worker ant armor. They made a comeback by riding mutated crows to escape, but were attacked by a strong mutated eagle. In the end, the crow was knocked down with a single blow, crashing open the skylight of the bar and landing on the table.

Tom, who was dizzy and disoriented, didn't have time to check Shen Jiayi's condition. He quickly got up and took out a deformation shield from his back. As soon as he stood up, another larger figure landed on the bar with wings flapping, and his sharp eyes fixed on Tom tightly.

The shrinking humans are delicious for many creatures, and the mutated eagle has set its sights on them, so it is impossible to let them go so easily.

It suddenly opened its mouth and its sharp cry pierced through the eardrums of Tom and Shen Jiayi. Then it immediately jumped down, and its strong and powerful claws slammed against the deformable shield, causing Tom to retreat in a row.

This still activates the tremble effect of the shield sword, strengthening the shield's defense. If it is not strengthened, the end result will definitely be the deformation of the shield and the person flying out.

After finishing the claw strike, he was greeted by a beak peck. It can be said that the attack methods of these birds and poultry are all the same, going back and forth. Tom is completely familiar with this routine, holding up a reinforced shield to repeatedly block, even when facing a mutated eagle over twenty centimeters tall, he is still adept at it.

After a few unsuccessful attacks, the eagle became impatient and quickly flapped its wings, trying to scrape Tom down. However, Tom punched the leather on the sofa and grabbed the break tightly, maintaining balance without falling. Thanks to Tom's deliberate positioning, Shen Jiayi had the eagle's back facing her. Now, with the wings fanning, she only rolled twice on the sofa and hit the backrest, avoiding the consequences of falling.

Tom squinted his eyes and struggled to stand still, only to see the eagle soaring up and pouncing towards him. At first glance, he didn't think much and instinctively leaped forward. However, the eagle was extremely large in size and was in the stage of strengthening his powers. His speed was too slow, and he was knocked off the sofa by the eagle and fell off.

The fall was quite severe, causing him to feel dizzy and dizzy. His limbs and bones were as painful as if they had shattered into thousands of pieces. But at this moment, Tom was constantly vigilant in his heart. He struggled to get up despite the excruciating pain, and without hesitation, he threw the reinforced shapeshifting knife towards the edge of the sofa. Coincidentally, the eagle leaned forward and the knife pierced its neck straight.

The tremor of the shield sword strengthened the sharpness of the big sword, but the eagle's hair was too thick, and the big sword only cut a hole before falling off.

The knife wound made the eagle scream in pain, and then the old trick was repeated with a leaping leap. But Tom didn't fall for the same trick again. As he fell off the sofa, he quickly flipped over and rolled under the sofa. The eagle pounced in the air. The heavy and massive body pressed against the dusty floor, raising a wave of dust. Tom, who was hiding under the sofa, was the first to bear the brunt, leaving him with a disheveled face.

The landing eagle searched around and then saw Tom hiding under the sofa, holding an assault rifle at it.

The bullets from the assault rifle fired continuously, only hitting the eagle's feathers and not harming it at all. This further proves that the shield sword, strengthened by tremors, had a greater power than the assault rifle when thrown with Tom's 110 point force.

After firing a round of bullets, Tom withdrew his gun and threw a grenade. Then, taking advantage of the explosion that caught the eagle's attention in neutral, he climbed to the other side of the sofa and flipped out. With a few steps of acceleration, he leaped and landed on the eagle's back.

The upper back is Tom's best weapon against large creatures. Not to mention these birds and birds, even humans, whose backs are crawling with small insects, can hardly be reached with just their hands, except for rolling around and looking for help.

After Tom climbed up, he was thinking about where to start when the eagle whined and flew up. The space in the bar was not small, and the place where they fell was on the second floor. However, the eagle flew too fast and quickly flew from one side to the other, then stumbled and flew back. In just two seconds, it returned to its original position and crashed into the bottom of the sofa, causing both humans and birds to fall and dogs to gnaw on the mud.

Tom struggled to get up, but saw Shen Jiayi running desperately on the sofa across from him. The mutated crow that had abducted them had already regained its senses, and while Tom was entangled with the eagle, it was planning to quietly clamp down on Shen Jiayi and run away.

Tom couldn't help but shout to attract Shen Jiayi's attention, while throwing out his reinforced deformation shield. Despite being a bit far away, he still hit the mutated crow with only scheming.

After taking a painful bite and pausing, Shen Jiayi was able to escape and reach the edge of the sofa. She jumped down without hesitation, and Tom didn't even think about it. He took a steady leap and caught her. But at this moment, the eagle also pounced, and the wind pressure carried by its massive body was right behind Tom.

After catching the person, Tom immediately rolled on the spot, holding her and rolling into the bottom of the sofa.

Now the two big birds can't do anything about them. The body structure of the birds determines that they can't press their heads too low, so the crow can barely see the two people hiding under the sofa. So these two birds, one big and one small, immediately anxiously wandered around the sofa, and then when they met, they pounced on each other and bit each other.

In terms of body size advantage, the eagle is definitely stronger, but the mutated crow is cunning. Even if its back and buttocks are injured, it still uses its flexible jumping movements to wander between sofas, tables and chairs, making it impossible for the eagle to catch up.

Tom protected Shen Jiayi under his body, and the two lay flat under the sofa, watching as dust and feathers fluttered outside. Seeing the two birds fighting harder and wider, he felt it was time to take the opportunity and fly away. However, for the sake of caution, he asked Shen Jiayi not to move and gently rolled and crawled out.

As soon as he crawled out and was about to find his way, the eagle, which was chasing the crow, suddenly turned around and flapped its wide wings. The strong wind grabbed the feathers that could bend and rushed towards Tom. With a clang, Tom flew heavily onto the wall and hit a solid knot.

"Tom!" Shen Jiayi, hiding under the sofa, shouted anxiously. Tom grabbed the feather stuck in his breastplate and loudly advised, "Don't come out... this bird is not stupid."

Shen Jiayi quickly nodded repeatedly and continued to sit under the sofa.

Originally, the two big birds were tossing around fiercely with each other, and Tom thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, he caught their attention as soon as he showed his head. In an instant, the eagle fanned and attacked with feathers, and the mutated crow flew directly towards Tom. Its claws caught Tom in one fell swoop, flapping its wings and climbing up, clearly trying to bring him back to work.

At first glance, this mutated eagle was not happy. Immediately followed and flew up, chasing after the crow.

Of course, Tom didn't wait to die, but when he waved, the deformed broadsword fell to the ground and flew into his hand. Then he turned the blade and cut into the crow's thigh.

With this slash, the crow's thigh was bleeding profusely, and in pain, it spread its claws, causing Tom to fall from the air. As a result, the eagle had sharp eyes and a quick mind. In less than a second, it caught Tom in an aerial relay and rushed out of the distance.

Tom was caught by the eagle's paw, only to see that the crow was not discouraged, but instead turned around cleanly and flew towards the sofa he had just emerged from.

He immediately understood and couldn't help but curse the crow for being cunning.

The crow deliberately took him away, attracting the eagle to snatch him, and then found an opportunity to throw him to the eagle, while running back to catch Shen Jiayi.

It can be seen that it is hiding in Zhao Manqing's room, with a very clear purpose of taking Shen Jiayi away. Now that the eagle can get rid of Tom, this troublemaker, it can naturally find a way to catch Shen Jiayi.

Tom immediately looked around, watching the eagle fly around the two-story bar, trying to find an exit to leave. He knew he had to do something quickly.

The eagle flew back and forth, and in the air, he saw that the mutated crow had already penetrated half of its body under the sofa, and could quickly get out Shen Jiayi who was hiding inside. Tom anxiously swung his big knife, but the claws of the mutated eagle were too hard. Even the sharper sword, which had been strengthened by the tremor of the shield sword, could not penetrate. However, the sword had just injured the crow, and its body was still stained with its blood.

Shield sword tremors resonate with the fresh blood of mutated creatures, triggering the phenomenon of blood evaporation and producing shattered light. Then, by absorbing the shattered light, the effect of shield sword tremors can be further enhanced.

Tom thought of the blow he had accumulated in the ant nest of the restaurant on the rooftop, but in the end, he was unable to sustain himself due to the depletion of the red crystal energy. The blade now had mutated crow blood, so why not give it a try?

At this moment, he couldn't bear to think too much. The mutated eagle could leave at any time, and immediately urged his thoughts to be infused into the dark red super powerful crystal in his hand.

The blood stained on the blade quickly turned into shattered light, but the slowly swaying shattered light was thrown behind by the eagle, which Tom did not expect.

"Done... I can't inhale it."

Just as Tom was feeling very frustrated, the other crystal he was carrying suddenly lit up, and the shattered light swaying in the distance was sucked in and threw directly into this crystal.

"Synchronize power crystals?"

Tom used the power crystal production technique exchanged in the shelter to create a synchronized power crystal, but he never figured out its purpose. Unexpectedly, it can be used to absorb shattered light when it is crooked.

As Tom watched the shattered light being sucked into the synchronic crystal, a red light burst out. He felt a constant stream of heat emanating from his arm. He quickly transferred the heat to the deformed sword in his hand, and in an instant, a strong flame erupted from the sword. The flame was tangible but not tangible, not hot to the hand, but the hilt was still hot in his hand.

Tom, who was hanging from the claws of the mutated eagle, aimed his big knife at the mutated crow still drilling under the sofa. At this moment, he couldn't aim up and down in time. He just focused on the crow with his heart and shot the big knife fiercely.
