General Lou cleared his throat and shouted loudly, "Miss Jana, I have brought news of Mr. Spirit Crows."
The water surface remained calm.
General Lou didn’t mind and waited patiently.
After ten seconds.
"Splash~"
Waves rose up.
A face with perfect beauty erged from beneath the water.
The pool water automatically rolled off her hair, each strand turning dry.
General Lou chuckled secretly.
The words "Mr. Spirit Crows" were indeed Miss Jana’s Achilles’ heel.
The rmaid lazily asked, "General Lou, good morning!"
General Lou nodded, "Good morning."
He knew well; the less the other party ntioned Mr. Spirit Crows, the more it showed she cared.
This was a typical case of saying one thing but aning another.
Won, sigh!
General Lou didn’t keep her guessing and revealed the first piece of news: "Miss Jana, we invited Mr. Spirit Crows yesterday, but unfortunately, he declined."
The rmaid’s lovely face changed slightly, and her head began to sink underwater, obviously planning to leave.
General Lou quickly revealed the second piece of news: "But we unexpectedly discovered that Mr. Spirit Crows’ spirit crows seem to have undergone group mutation."
The rmaid’s head stopped sinking and floated back up, with a look of surprise on her face: "Group mutation?"
General Lou presented evidence directly: "Miss Jana, please watch the video."
The television turned on.
The video began to play.
It was a clip fild by the Linjiang City branch through a cara, fully capturing the disguise process of dozens of spirit crows.
The rmaid fell silent at once.
Because she found that her many years of experience couldn’t explain this peculiar phenonon.
If it were a powerful Knight Level expert nurturing a batch of mutant creatures, it wouldn’t be too difficult.
But the problem was that Mr. Spirit Crows wasn’t even a Warrior, yet he had accomplished sothing only Knights could achieve.
The rmaid moved her lips, barely thinking of an explanation: "Perhaps it’s a kind of Deceitful Artifact effect."
But even she felt this reason was too far-fetched.
The last ti "hundreds of residents were paralyzed by electricity" was a Deceitful Artifact, and now it’s another Deceitful Artifact. Could Mr. Spirit Crows possess two Deceitful Artifacts?
The possibility is distressingly low.
General Lou nodded solemnly, "Makes sense."
However, he felt greatly pleased inwardly.
Previously, Miss Jana had a sowhat "looking down on Canglan Civilization" attitude.
Now with Mr. Spirit Crows’ performance, seeing her sowhat at a loss for words, how could he not feel delighted?!
Major General Zhang was right, Great Xia also has outstanding talents like Mr. Spirit Crows!
The rmaid forced a smile, awkwardly changing the topic: "General, let’s continue discussing superpowers today."

Tintera Kingdom.
Kariado Wetland.
Ti returned to a month ago.
This area, over two thousand square kiloters, was called the "Lungs of Tintera" by the Tinterans.
Because the lush vegetation inside the wetland provided Tinterans with a continual supply of oxygen.
Moreover, with the beautiful scenery during sumr and autumn, many people visited every year.
But now.
The Kariado Wetland is regarded as the "Source of Disaster."
Because from over half a month ago, a swarm of Poisonous Mosquitoes suddenly burst out from the wetland.
Residents around the wetland were forced to abandon their hos and flee.
At this mont.
Four off-road vehicles drove slowly towards the wetland.
This is a research team dispatched by the Great Xia Kingdom.
Bai Xue sat in the back row, observing outside through the thick car window glass, while listening to her teammates’ discussions.
"According to Tintera’s official reports, only over two hundred people have died around the wetland, this data is absolutely suspicious."
"We saw five dried-up corpses on our way here, the real death toll must be no less than a thousand."
"I really can’t understand what Tintera’s officials are doing. Not only do they not send people to collect bodies, but they also have no solutions for dealing with the Poisonous Mosquitoes."
Bai Xue recalled the terrifying appearance of the corpses, feeling a nauseating urge to vomit.
The teammates’ discussions continued.
"This country is essentially out of control!"
"Tintera’s officials are fighting internally, the major financial groups are also fighting, everyone with money and power is plotting to run away."
"If sothing like this happened in Great Xia, the army would be there the next day."
"Does Great Xia even need to wait until the next day? It would happen that very night!"
The captain’s voice suddenly interrupted the chit-chat: "Everyone, stop chatting."
He continued, "We are about to reach the target area ahead, please collect the Poisonous Mosquito samples as quickly as possible, then evacuate imdiately.
"Although it’s the peripheral area of Kariado Wetland, the swarm of Poisonous Mosquitoes may appear at any ti, so please ensure your safety."
A loud voice rang out: "Captain, don’t worry, we’re wearing full protective suits and have ’Mr. Naless’ with us, we’ll be fine."
Bai Xue nodded gently at this.
She knew her teammate referred to Mr. Naless, the superpower user sent by the higher-ups.
Mr. Naless’ strongest ability was having a certain level of danger premonition.
The captain imdiately reprimanded, "Gu Peifeng, stop chatting, never let your guard down at any ti, understand?"
The team mber nad "Gu Peifeng" didn’t dare to say more and obediently replied with "Understood."
Ten minutes later.
The research team successfully completed their sampling task.
The sampling thod was straightforward.
Take out several glass bottles, put so pieces of fresh bloody at inside, and soon the Poisonous Mosquitoes would "buzz" into them.
Honestly speaking.
Bai Xue found it hard to imagine that mosquitoes actually liked fresh bloody at.
As far as she knew, mosquitoes mainly used their leg sensors to sniff the carbon dioxide released from a victim’s breath on, determining the prey’s location.
The captain ordered, "Everyone get in the car imdiately, prepare to return."
Just then.
An urgent voice was heard, "Everyone, I sense a deadly danger approaching!"
Mr. Naless it was.
The captain was montarily stunned, then shouted quickly, "Get in the car, set off in five seconds."
Everyone sward into the off-road vehicles.
Their vehicles quickly started, turning around and heading back.
Mr. Naless continued urging, "Faster, even faster!"
The captain followed along, urging "Speed up!"
The convoy sped up again, and upon reaching curves, the vehicles noticeably tilted, giving a sense that they might topple over at any mont.
Fortunately, the off-road vehicle chassis were excellent, still steadily moving along the road.
Bai Xue grabbed the handrail in fright, her heart pounding "thump thump."
Her mind was filled with questions.
The off-road vehicle body is made of high-strength steel plates, and the glass is double-layer high-strength glass; even small caliber bullets can’t penetrate it.
Even if the convoy was surrounded by the Poisonous Mosquitoes, as long as everyone stayed inside the vehicles, could the Poisonous Mosquitoes break through the glass and steel?
So what exactly was Mr. Naless afraid of?
After more than ten seconds.
The captain suddenly issued a strange command: "There is a campsite two hundred ters ahead, the convoy must gather at the campsite.
"Personnel from vehicle one, spread across the other three vehicles, you have ten seconds to transfer, understood?"
Voices of acknowledgnt rang out.
"Understood!"
"Copy that!"
Bai Xue furrowed her brows.
Vehicle one is precisely the off-road vehicle where the captain is; what exactly is the captain planning to do?
Half a minute later.
The campsite was reached.
Personnel from vehicle one smoothly boarded the other three vehicles.
Vehicles two, three, and four continued driving forward, while vehicle one remained where it was.
Bai Xue noticed this scene and felt a strong sense of unease.
The deputy captain spoke on the channel, sounding extrely serious, "According to the protocol, I am now the commander of the research team."
Bai Xue couldn’t help but ask, "Why did the captain stay at the campsite?"
The deputy captain was silent for a mont before dryly saying, "You’ll know in a mont."
Bai Xue exclaid loudly, "I’m a mber of the research team and also the team doctor. I have the right to know the truth."
No one answered.
The communication channel was dead silent.
After a few seconds.
Mr. Naless sighed long and deeply, his tone extrely low: "Miss Bai Xue, the captain is using his life to buy us ti to escape."
Bai Xue was dumbfounded.
