Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 118: Secretly Crossing Chencang (Fourth Update)
Although the spiritual power of the [Bird Lord] is very weak, with the help of this power that is close to authority, all birds within a radius of hundreds of miles will obey his command.

Even though it is not as detailed and clear as Lu Ming's telekinesis, it can cover an extremely wide range.

Although it is winter now and most birds have gone south for the winter, there are still many cold-resistant birds under Lu Ming's control.

The more ferocious and powerful ones include the golden eagle, steppe eagle, buzzard, etc.; the smarter ones include ravens and magpies; and the smaller ones include great tits and larks, etc.

Influenced by Lu Ming, these birds flocked here.

Lu Ming did not treat them badly. He ordered his men to open the food bags and slaughter cattle and sheep so that the birds could have a good meal. He then released them to disperse.

Birds are much better than humans in terms of vision, whether it is color, perspective, motion capture or ultraviolet perception, they are far superior to humans.

The only problem Lu Ming had to solve was the problem of too many perspectives. After all, each bird had a perspective, and hundreds or thousands of birds combined would create countless pictures.

Fortunately, Lu Ming also had countless thoughts, which enabled him to think clearly enough to deal with these confused perspectives.

"The strength I can currently display is roughly equivalent to the sixth level of martial arts."

There is also an extremely tiny spring branch connected to the body of [Bird Lord]. It is the spring water that continuously releases power, which brings him an increase in strength.

But Lu Ming felt that it was far from enough. If he could devour all the other great masters, could he monopolize the spring water?
He wanted to see what was so amazing about this strange spring water.

In that case, let’s start with the nearest natural spirit.

Lu Ming set his eyes on the statue of a human body with a bear head in the tribe not far away. He had originally intended to deal with this natural spirit, but was delayed until now because of the interference of the natural spirits from the three large tribes.

Before, when his true self took action, he was unable to kill these natural spirits due to the protection of the spring water.

Now it's the turn of the Nature Spirit to take action. I want to see if your spring will continue to protect it?

"Everyone, attack!"

Lu Ming controlled the [Bird Lord], and a layer of light appeared on its body. Then it dispersed its own power into eight hundred rays and blessed everyone.

All the people and horses felt their bodies lighten and a layer of defense appeared on their bodies. They then galloped quickly and attacked the tribe.

Lu Ming can now control eight hundred tribesmen, which is stronger than the elite of many medium-sized tribes.

His original body rode on a bone-piercing dragon, but he did not use the Purgatory Blade. Instead, he used a spear and swung it with great force. Any master in the tribe was knocked down immediately before he could get close to him.

The spring water seemed to have intelligence. In order not to attract the other party's attention, Lu Ming just let his body use brute force to fight the enemy to avoid alerting the spring water.

Under Lu Ming's leadership, the elite of this tribe were quickly killed, and the others surrendered one after another.

And in the void that ordinary people cannot see, a phantom with a bird's head and a human body is confronting a natural spirit with a bear's head and a human body.

Although the natural spirit with a bear-headed human body was more powerful and received more blessings from the spring water, its strength plummeted as the tribe was defeated.

Lu Ming took the opportunity to control the [Bird Lord] and flew up to fight it head-on.

There is no set pattern or routine in the killing between natural spirits, nor any magical powers or techniques, only a head-on spiritual competition.

Whoever has stronger spirituality and thicker health bar will survive.

Taking advantage of the fact that the natural spirit of the bear-headed human body was constantly weakening, [Bird Lord] took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the opponent madly. Even though the spiritual light on his body kept flashing, he wanted to kill the opponent first.

Under his continuous attacks, his enemy roared unwillingly, and finally turned into countless star-like points of light, all of which sank into the body of [Bird Lord].

The strength of this great master originally far exceeded it, and the origin contained in it was also extremely abundant.

In just a moment, the shadow of [Bird Lord]'s body expanded further and became more than ten feet tall.

The structure of his body seemed to become more complicated. Originally it was just a simple and blurry shadow of a human body with a bird's head, but now each feather was clear and delicate, and the textures on it looked like magical runes.

Even on his body, in addition to the outer robe, there is also an inner lining and silk ribbons.

There is also a faint halo rising behind the [Bird Lord].

At this moment, Lu Ming understood something in his heart. This meant that the status of the Bird Lord had been elevated, equivalent to a Great Lord that a mid-grade tribe had worshipped for many years.

Although his strength is still about equal to the sixth level of martial arts, he is already equivalent to a master among the sixth level of martial arts.

The tributary on the bird statue that was connected to the spring water also grew several times larger.

After his promotion, Lu Ming also sensed that Bird Lord's ability to control birds had also been greatly improved.

The simplest one is that the range of bird control has been expanded from 300 miles to 500 miles, allowing for a wider range of remote control.

There are also two more abilities: [Temporary Host] and [Spirit Bird Contract].

The so-called [temporary inhabitation] allows him to send his consciousness across hundreds of miles in an instant to the body of a certain bird; while the [Spirit Bird Contract] is to conclude a contract with a certain number of birds individually, making them not just "temporary workers" but long-term employees.

This is of great benefit to the birds themselves. Once the contract is concluded, these birds will gain varying degrees of strength growth.

These two abilities can also be used in combination, entrusting one's own consciousness to a contracted bird, so that it can play a greater role.

"Although the improvement in strength is minimal, it still feels quite practical."

Lu Ming touched his chin and was quite happy about Bird Lord's promotion.

Not only can Bird Lord exert more powerful abilities, but more importantly, it can prove that his thinking is correct. As long as he swallows up other natural spirits, he may really be able to monopolize the entire spring.

Just as Lu Ming released the bird monitoring range and was about to go to the next tribe, he suddenly focused his attention on the sight of a falcon.

Somewhere in the southern part of the grassland, a remnant of the army seemed to be retreating, but the howling wind and snow around them almost buried their bodies, and the black wind that blew from time to time would silently take people's lives.

"Huh? Why is it Lu Mengzhi?"

The group was led by a man and a woman. The man's Qi was almost gone; after running for so long in such a harsh environment, even a strong man would be exhausted. The woman's divine weapon's aura was also dimming. Although they were not far from the border, they felt they would not be able to hold on until the moment they reached it.
