Chapter 9: Completing the Task

You have obtained the Source of the World 3%

You have slain the Mist Raven Leader

Thus, they unwillingly pursued the footprints for a distance, and finally saw more than ten humanoid figures standing on the ground ahead, immediately charging forward without a second thought

Qin Mu approached within a certain distance, entering the range of the [Magic Missile]. Next, he was about to perform a technical maneuver, commonly referred to as 'drawing aggro'.

The space system has distributed the rewards to the contractor's storage space

As for the group of crows, they flew to the spot where Qin Mu had previously stood, only to find a row of footprints; the provocateur had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a black mist rose from the body of the giant crow, and it opened its eyes, sharply staring at Qin Mu. Its eyes were unlike those of other crows, with blood-red pupils that emitted a fierce light.

This incident left Qin Mu with a profound lesson, reminding him once again never to become complacent, no matter the circumstances

You have been afflicted by the [Curse of the Misty Crow Leader], and you need to undergo a physical attribute assessment

At this moment, Qin Mu just wants to quickly eliminate it to avoid any unforeseen complications

Adjusting his mindset, Qin Mu began to handle the online ornaments, crafting a stone dagger and methodically finishing off one after another.

At that moment, on m.hetushu.com, they saw a human entering a stone fortress that had not existed before in the distance. Consequently, they accelerated their flight and flew straight into the area filled with spider silk, and then tragedy struck again

Having consumed two Red Crystal Fruits in advance, restoring 10 points of mana, Qin Mu is now able to use skills. He casually aims at a crow and launches a magic missile.

This result left Qin Mu very disappointed, and then he recalled that crows like to bring back shiny objects they collect to decorate their nests, so he began to pay attention to the crows' nests

Only after completing all of this did Qin Mu dare to approach. Just as Qin Mu was about to plunge the dagger into the raven's body, an unexpected event occurred

Upon receiving the alert in front of him, Qin Mu discovered that his health was decreasing at a rate of 5% per second. Alarmed, he quickly grabbed his dagger and frantically attacked the Crow Leader.

Realizing that it could not break free from its restraints in a short time, it made a decisive decision and opened its mouth to spray a cloud of gray mist onto Qin Mu's face.

The ground was almost covered with black feathers, and the crows on the net were struggling incessantly. However, the more they struggled, the tighter the threads constricted, with some even digging into their flesh, causing drops of blood to trickle down along the feathers

The previous explosive scarecrow was merely intended to further incite hatred; the real lethal move lies in the mesh area of www.hetushu.com.

Upon seeing those blood-red eyes, Qin Mu felt a sense of foreboding; sure enough, he soon experienced a wave of dizziness.

It was quite a surprise; I never expected to nearly die at the hands of a crow. Should I say, as expected of an extraordinary creature?

The crow that landed on the scarecrow triggered the [explosive fruit] installed inside the scarecrow, causing a chain reaction of explosions. The crow flying at the front was instantly blown to pieces.

After hiding for a while, Qin Mu discovered that no crows had flown around the fortress. He observed from the cave entrance for a moment, confirming that it was absolutely safe outside before leaving the fortress and arriving at the trap filled with crows

Seeing that the purpose of attracting the crows had been achieved, Qin Mu took to his heels and ran back to the fortress, leaving a trail of smoke behind him, and immediately sealed off the entrances and exits

Believing that he was fully prepared, Qin Mu cautiously approached the dead tree where the crow flock was resting

Soon, Qin Mu saw a creature that was twice the size of the other crows; this large bird hung motionless in the net, as if it had already passed away

The silk produced by Qin Mu possesses a 'sharp' characteristic; some crows charged in too quickly, and now only fragmented pieces remain scattered on the web.

At that moment, the giant crow began to struggle violently. Although the few thin and *graph* threads were sturdy and an ordinary crow could not break free, for it, if it were to sacrifice a bit of flesh, it could still escape.

All the crows flew away from the trunk, pressing towards the location where Qin Mu was, resembling dark clouds overshadowing the sky. This scene evokes a sense reminiscent of 'dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it'

What is this thing

[Under Evaluation ... ... ]

Due to the excessively dense formation of the crows during flight, the flock suffered nearly one-third of its combat strength in this explosion, which ignited the anger of the crows that were initially merely reluctant.

The outcome indeed brought him some unexpected gains

Qin Mu has already gathered all the crows together and then used [Gathering], but the materials obtained are only [Crow Feathers] and [Crow Eyes] and similar items, with only those obtained from the Crow Leader being of green quality

As long as it breaks free from its restraints, this damned human before me will soon become a dish.

Not good

In a nutshell: Qin Mu, you are in trouble

You have completed the side quest: Misty Crow

Dumb-dumb

What the hell

Fortunately, Qin Mu had previously taken precautions by adding an extra layer of sticky spider silk to the giant crow. Due to the strong stickiness and toughness of the spider silk, the crow, which was struggling violently, soon sensed that something was amiss

Qin Mu had just emerged from a state of mental confusion when he was suddenly enveloped by a cloud of gray mist, leaving him no time to react

The curse damage is true damage

In order to enhance the power of the explosive scarecrow, Qin Mu had previously cleared out the storage space, bringing only two [Red Crystal Fruits], while the remaining space was entirely filled with [Explosive Fruits], without carrying any recovery items

After this incident, Qin Mu became much more cautious in his subsequent actions. Fortunately, not every Mist Crow was as strong as the leader, and Qin Mu successfully completed the task.

The enraged flock of crows continued their pursuit, their dark eyes filled with fury, intent on picking the bones of this treacherous individual clean

It is unclear when this group of crows began their hunting; however, each time Qin Mu visited, he observed that the crows remained perched on that tree, not even moving their nests.

Those who have spent time in the countryside, where 'net' is used as a verb, can easily imagine the ensuing scene: crows flapping their wings can be seen everywhere hanging on the nets in the woods, and even Qin Mu, who is hiding in the stone fortress, can hear the piercing wails from outside

With a dull thud, the flock of crows in the tree suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then chaos erupted.

Moreover, when Qin Mu was arranging these spider silk threads, he intertwined them as intricately as possible, effectively weaving a large net in the forest.

Had I known it would go so smoothly, why would I have bothered to build fortifications and tunnels? It was simply a waste of magical energy

If the crow leader had come to me again just now, I would probably be lying on the ground, completely cold by now

To capture everything in one net, the wisdom of the working people is indeed great

The task is complete. It seems that the mist crows in this area should all be here, which indicates that there are basically no guards left by the dead trees. We can go and see if there are any good items.

With the mindset that a thief should not leave empty-handed, he cautiously approached the withered tree, first testing the waters with a stone before climbing onto the branches to take a look

Boom boom boom

You receive 5 points of curse damage per second, lasting for 15 seconds

In order to minimize the risk factor of the planned operation as much as possible, Qin Mu produced a large quantity of hardened spider silk yesterday, ensuring ample supply.

To be on the safe side, Qin Mu released another wave of [spider silk], and the sticky silk bound it tightly.

You have obtained the [Misty Treasure Chest]

Picking up the black treasure chest that had fallen on the ground, Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief

Judgment failed

No, one must not become complacent; remain calm, remain calm

Upon checking his status, Qin Mu found that he had only 25% of his health remaining. He felt his heart still beating violently, realizing that it had indeed been a bit perilous just moments ago
