First draft.

After Su Lun discovered that this [death bird] was a treasure, he spent the whole night studying its other functions.

Thinking that even in that psychic alien plane, there would be very few such "mythical species" creatures.

Su Lun was afraid that the psychic wouldn't be able to come next time, so he coaxed and deceived and planned to sign a blood contract.

The black crow didn't seem to mind. He ate two pieces of rotten meat and happily agreed.

Although they cannot communicate, because they are contracted creatures, one person and one bird can communicate simply by thinking.

The intelligence of crows is not low. This [death bird] is obviously much more intelligent than ordinary crows.

Moreover, Su Lun had some experience in raising crows, and the communication went smoothly. He also figured out another function of this bird, which is "view sharing".

After signing the blood contract, Su Lun discovered that his soul was somehow involved with the bird...

Mobilizing the power of the contract is like a video connection, and the vision in the eyes of a dying bird will appear in his field of vision.

After trying it a few more times, I became proficient in mastering this new ability.

Before, he wasn't sure about hunting the [Mind Flayer], but with this black crow, he was more sure.

It is a true "undead" creature. Even if its body is broken into pieces, the death energy is still there, and it can be resurrected and reunited by the contractor's side.

In other words, this is an unkillable "unmanned reconnaissance aircraft".

The cost of using this ability is very small, a piece of delicious carrion, and the crow will be very happy.

Moreover, Suellen also learned some legends about this bird from Juta.

It is recorded in mythological classics that this bird of death is a messenger between the underworld and other planes of life. This is one of the most ideal contract pets for the top necromancers in ancient times. They are often accompanied by the real gods of death.

Devouring the air of death. While eating carrion, they will have a chance to acquire certain abilities of the corpse, condense them into the law of death, and become stronger and stronger.

This talent ability is somewhat similar to [Death Reaper]. It is weak in the early stage and becomes more powerful in the later stage.

Su Lun also guessed that this was the reason why he was able to channel this mythical species.

But the only problem is that this bird has a very picky beak.

Su Lun was familiar with feeding all kinds of meat, but found that it could only eat the [cursed corpse] found in the trophies.

It won't look at any other meat at all.

This also resulted in Su Lun being unable to keep it with him for a long time.

After all, there is not much stock of that kind of meat, and it will be gone after eating it.

After trying for several hours and leaving a few spare pieces of meat, he unlocked the psychic spell and sent the black crow back to another world.

Thinking about finding enough high-quality carrion in the future, I will have the "feed" to keep the birds around for a long time.

The next morning, the sun shone into the cave.

After Su Lun and Yuta repaired, they continued on the road.

About a day or two further north from the Gray Wolf tribe is the area where the "Cursed Valley" is located.

There is a forbidden area for the Daru tribe, and Yuta has never been there. He only heard the elders of the tribe mention the route.

By the evening of the next day, the two arrived at a place called "Blood Mist Swamp".

The two of them were blocked by the blood-colored mist.

Juta looked at the rough animal skin map, pointed in a direction, and said: "Not far to the northwest of the swamp is the place where our ancestors encountered the [Mind Flayer]. There should be a skull-shaped cave there."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded.

Looking at the blood mist in front of him, he had no intention of testing it with his own body.

Thinking about it, he pinched his magician's seal, the five-pointed star formation lit up, and a black crow appeared through his channel.

After feeding a piece of carrion, the death bird fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.

Su Lun's right eye flashed with light and shadow, and Black Crow's vision immediately appeared.

Although the blood mist in this swamp is confusing to the eyes, because of the heavy mist, it only covers the ground to a depth of several dozen meters.

The black crow flew up to a hundred meters, and the field of vision immediately broadened.

Then, he saw the skull-shaped cave that Juta had mentioned.

Su Lun shouted softly: "Found it!"

But he was surprised at the same time: "It can't really be a skull fossil, right? How big is this creature?"

You may not be able to see it clearly from the ground, but you can see it clearly from the sky.

It was a gray-white cave that looked like a human skull, with eye sockets and a mouth. It didn't look like a natural formation, but more like a humanoid corpse rotting on the ground. But it was too big, just

They are two eye sockets, several meters in diameter.

But just when he wanted to take a closer look, a black shadow quickly passed by in the sky, and a flying creature of unknown species swallowed the black crow into its belly.

The vision was interrupted, black mist lingered on Su Lun's shoulders, and another black crow condensed.

Su Lun fed a piece of rotten meat to the black crow to replenish his death energy.

He frowned slightly and said to Juta beside him: "Let's go. Be careful."

Yuta nodded: "Yeah."

The cursing valley runs vertically from north to south, and those from the Lu Ying Judgment Legion entered through the opening on the north side.

The [Mind Flayer] Suellen is looking for is in the south, and there is no way around this swamp.

The fog obscured the view, so the two of them walked very slowly.

In the swamp, there are [Swamp Giant Crocodiles] that are tens of meters long, [Blackwater Anacondas] that can eat bison alive, [Emperor Leeches] that can suck people dry without realizing it, and countless poisonous insects.

There are dangers everywhere in the swamp.

Before doing this, Su Lun must have been shocked every step of the way.

But now he holds a black umbrella in his hand, and his senses have expanded several times. He can easily sense and avoid the powerful monsters hiding in the mud, and also avoid some unnecessary battles.

As a druid, Jutta is also proficient in various methods of expelling insects and diseases.

Not to mention the "drone" Black Crow.

With the cooperation of the two of them, the journey went quite smoothly.

After determining the direction of the cave, they quickly arrived near the cave.

Some human adventurer equipment, firearms and weapons are scattered near the cave.

It seems that humans have passed through here recently.

There are no traces of battle, so it is most likely that it became food for monsters.

Su Lun did not approach rashly, but chose a safe place and planned to observe the situation first.

[Mind Flayers] are underground creatures that usually do not appear on the surface, let alone under the sun.

However, its mental tentacles can extend very long.

The seniors of the Daru tribe were controlled by them without knowing it when they passed by here. Then they walked into the cave and became food for monsters.

This is also the horror of the mind flayer.

Before doing this, Su Lun would probably slowly approach the Skeleton Cave to test it out.

But in that case, once discovered, they would have to fight head-on with the puppet enslaved by the mind flayer, and then kill them all the way to find its true form.

But the situation in the crypt is unknown.

Su Lun didn't think that an evil creature with high intelligence like the Mind Flayer would not have prepared a means of escape. Even if it had been beaten and alerted, the possibility of catching it would be very low.

Moreover, Su Lun didn't know how many "spiritual puppets" it had, what species it was, and what level it was.

Now that we have Black Crow, it is much more convenient.

Su Lun doesn't need to test it himself, he can just control it remotely.

The black crow was released, flew all the way, and entered the cave of the skull.

At first glance, there is a different kind of cave in this cave.

The black crow flew into the cave, flying deeper and deeper in the twists and turns of the cave, and then saw a cave village.

"There are actually so many lizardmen?"

The light and shadow in Su Lun's eyes passed by, and he saw clearly the active shadows in the light of the magic crystal. It was a lively village.

Those creatures had long tails, and he recognized them as "lizard men" at a glance.

The black crow stopped on a rock on a cliff and carefully observed everything in the cave.

This group of lizardmen numbers at least five to six hundred.

Sure enough, it was right not to rush in hastily.
