74: Chapter 74 New Uses of the Spiderweb Wind Blade

Three ravens could form such a tacit encirclement.

What about thirty? Three hundred?

No wonder they dared to run rampant in the wilderness where vicious beasts roamed!

But now was not the time for sentiment.

The three ravens had completed their encirclement, swooping in simultaneously from three directions.

Their attacks were perfectly coordinated—one feinted from the front, while two flanked from the sides, sealing off all of the Qing Luan's escape routes.

Even worse, because the Qing Luan was only at the black iron rank, its skill capacity was insufficient to use high-speed movement skills like Wing Flash while carrying Qin Ce on its back.

Qin Ce gritted his teeth and commanded the Qing Luan to charge left and right, but it was forced back every time.

The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.

A raven's sharp claws grazed past Qin Ce's hair, and the Wind Blade they brought with them left a tiny bloodstain on his face—

Hiss!

Qin Ce sucked in a cold breath, dodging the attack by turning to the side, only to run straight into another raven charging from the front!

Wolves in front, tigers behind.

Nowhere to hide!

At this critical moment, Qin Ce shouted sharply:

"Spider-Web Wind Blade!"

The Qing Luan suddenly shook its wings, and dozens of fine Wind Blades wove into a large cyan net, covering the head of the raven charging from the front!

This move was Qin Ce's last hope—he wanted to use the concentrated attack of the Spider-Web Wind Blade and the Wind Binding to disrupt this raven and create a gap for himself to escape.

But the scene that followed made his eyes suddenly light up.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—

Dozens of Wind Blades slashed into the raven's body, spraying bursts of blood mist.

The raven's defense was indeed formidable, and these Wind Blades failed to severely injure it—although the wounds were deep enough to see bone, they were far from fatal.

But following closely behind was the unique second effect of the Spider-Web Wind Blade.

Wind Binding.

Those Wind Blades that had slashed into the raven's body did not dissipate, but instead transformed into countless fine, nearly transparent threads of wind elemental energy, wrapping around the raven's body like living things!

Wings, legs, neck, torso—

The raven struggled desperately, but those wind elemental threads were extremely tough; the more it struggled, the tighter they wrapped!

It let out a terrified screech, and then—

Its wings were completely locked, its massive body lost balance, and like a black meteorite, it plummeted straight toward the mountain forest below!

Boom!!!

A dull thud came from at least several hundred meters below.

Qin Ce could even see the dust kicked up from the impact point.

"Caw—!?"

The ravens that were flanking from the left and right were clearly stunned.

But Qin Ce was not stunned.

"Go!"

The Qing Luan flapped its wings violently, and taking advantage of the moment the remaining two ravens were stunned, it charged directly out of the encirclement through the torn gap!

Then, with a dive, it chased straight after the falling raven!

The Qing Luan covered the distance of several hundred meters in less than ten seconds.

On the ground, the raven was dazed and struggling to get up. Its right wing was twisted at an eerie angle, clearly broken.

But its vitality was truly formidable; it hadn't died even after that.

Qin Ce did not give it a second chance.

A Wind Blade descended from the sky, accurately piercing its skull.

[Killed bronze low-grade raven, military merit +68]

As the system notification sounded, a thought flashed through Qin Ce's mind.

This efficiency was much higher than kiting in the air!

One raven, from falling to the finishing blow, took no more than thirty seconds in total!

He suddenly looked up at the two ravens still circling in the air, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

The Qing Luan climbed again.

This time, he caught up with those two ravens directly.

Before they could react, another Spider-Web Wind Blade covered one of them!

The raven instinctively wanted to dodge, but its clumsy turning couldn't avoid it at all—the cyan net covered its head, dozens of Wind Blades slashed into its body, and then came the Wind Binding...

Another raven fell while screaming.

The remaining one was finally afraid.

It let out a terrified screech, turned around, and ran, fleeing desperately toward the direction of the Raven Flock.

Qin Ce did not chase.

He dived to finish off the second fallen raven, then climbed again.

Looking down at the two raven corpses below, and then at the black cloud in the distance that was getting further and further away, he curled the corner of his mouth into an arc.

Next, it was time to change the way of playing.

The Qing Luan accelerated again and chased after them.

This time, Qin Ce no longer lured monsters, nor did he kite them.

He flew directly to the edge of the tail of the Raven Flock and released the Spider-Web Wind Blade at the nearest raven.

The raven was hit and fell.

He dived to finish it off.

Climbed, and found the next one.

Repeat.

One, two, three, four, five...

Efficiency skyrocketed!

In less than twenty minutes, Qin Ce had already killed nearly thirty ravens, and his military merit had surged by over 1,900 points!

The Raven Flock seemed to have noticed this "little bug" following behind their butts, and more ravens began to try to turn around to encircle and suppress him.

But Qin Ce didn't tangle with them at all—he fired a Spider-Web Wind Blade and turned to run. When the Wind Binding took effect and the raven fell, he would turn back to finish it off.

Those ravens that tried to encircle him often couldn't keep up with the Qing Luan's speed and gave up after chasing for a few hundred meters.

And those that chased closely would often be hit by a backhanded Spider-Web Wind Blade from him, becoming another fallen prey.

Just like this, a cyan figure, like a ghost, followed behind the sky-covering Raven Flock, harvesting lives again and again.

...

Military base, underground command post.

On the huge surveillance screen, the footage transmitted back by the high-altitude reconnaissance drone was playing in real-time.

Mike and several officers were nervously staring at the moving black cloud and the faint cyan dot behind it.

"What is he doing?" a young officer couldn't help but ask.

No one answered.

Because the scene on the screen was too magical—

That cyan dot was approaching the tail of the Raven Flock again and again, then light would flash, and then a raven would fall from the flock. The cyan dot would dive down, then climb up, and approach again...

The whole process was smooth and flowing, like a top predator harvesting its prey.

"This..." a middle-aged officer swallowed hard, "Is he really hunting the ravens?"

"And the efficiency is not low." Another officer stared at the data statistics in the lower right corner of the screen, "From entering the monitoring range until now, he has already killed at least thirteen ravens."

"A black iron rank Beast Tamer, thirteen Bronze Rank..."

Everyone was silent.

They had just been mocking this young man of black iron rank for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

Now, reality had slapped them hard in the face.

Mike stared at the agile cyan shadow on the screen, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled into an arc.

"Go," he said to the adjutant next to him, "serve the kid's family the richest meal we have here. Whatever fruit, drinks, or vicious beast meat, give them the best."

The adjutant was stunned: "Colonel, this..."

"Our base is not stingy!" Mike laughed, his voice full of satisfaction, "They are risking their lives at the front, and we can't even provide a meal? Go!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant trotted away.

Mike looked back at the screen, his eyes full of appreciation.

This kid... is really a treasure.

The other officers in the command room, looking at the screen at this moment, also had their eyes changed.

The previous disdain, doubt, and amusement were all gone.

Replaced by a complex, indescribable emotion—

There was shock, admiration, and a hint of faint... awe.

After all, they had never seen such a fierce person who could chase and kill tens of thousands of Bronze Rank vicious beasts as a black iron rank in their lives.
