Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 398 Crimson Plague Fire Crow (Purple)

[Deduction successful. Your avatar "Fire Crow (Blue)" has been promoted to "Crimson Plague Fire Crow (Purple)," gaining the "Crimson Plague Blazing Fire" talent.]

[The innate talent "Crow Form" has been upgraded to "Black Crow Form".]

The talents "Fire Flash," "Fire Spirit," and "Fire Feather Dart" have been significantly enhanced.

[Remaining Spiritual Energy: 2034387 points.]

……

"Red Plague Fire Crow?"

Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze indifferent yet revealing a hint of ferocity, his entire body radiating intense killing intent.

Like a sharp blade just pulled from the furnace, gleaming and piercing, it is filled with a thirst for blood.

By nature, they are indifferent to good and evil, disregard rules and authority, and only seek to achieve their own inner peace.

His pupils turned crimson gold, fire patterns appeared on his body, and wisps of heat emanated from his body, causing the room temperature to rise to a terrifying level.

It was as if that raven demon, who had slaughtered countless people and craved human hearts, had come to the mortal world, causing people to tremble with fear.

But soon, this terrifying anomaly completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

In the quiet room, his eyes were gentle, his face was like jade, his demeanor was calm and composed, and he exuded a vigorous vitality.

"It cost nearly 100,000 points, but it's finally done."

Liu Sheng summoned the panel, looked at the reduced spiritual energy value, and exhaled a heavy breath.

Because this is the first time the Fire Crow has been deduced, it will be deduced from its birth all the way up, going through three stages: becoming a spirit, becoming a demon, and becoming a great demon. No wonder it takes more time and consumes more spiritual energy than other deductions.

But the gains were also considerable.

First, the Fire Raven's transformation originally granted four talents.

The talent "Crow Form" has been upgraded to "Black Crow Form". Black Crow is a superior species of crow, similar to crow, but in terms of size, speed, strength, defense, bloodline, supernatural powers and other aspects, it is in an absolutely crushing position.

His talents "Fire Flash", "Fire Spirit" and "Fire Feather Dart" have all been upgraded to level 5, allowing him to almost teleport between any two piles of flames within a hundred-foot radius.

Strength, speed, and defense have all improved slightly, and his comprehension of fire-based techniques and spells has also greatly improved.

The range and lethality of the Fire Feather Darts have been significantly improved compared to before.

These require practice to fully master and adapt to.

The key is the upgraded avatar, called:

Red Plague Fire Crow!

The name sounds cool.

He shifted his gaze, landing on the name bathed in a deep purple light, and the ink-wash painting-like imagery immediately flickered and swayed downwards—

[Red Plague Fire Crow (Purple)]:
[Description]: It broke free from its cage, its body covered in fiery feathers and blazing plumes. Its cry is as piercing as metal scraping bone. It feeds on earth fire and plague, and usually dwells in volcanic lava. It emerges when there is a plague. When it emerges, it scatters flowing fire. When it dwells in a mountain, the mountain is scorched. When it is near water, the water boils. It burns away plague and disease. People believe that it brings plague and disaster, so it is called "Red Plague".

……

"When it dwells in the mountains, the mountains burn; when it is near the water, the water boils... It already has the air of a mythical beast from the mountains and seas."

Liu Sheng's eyes flickered as he carefully studied the introduction, seemingly lost in thought.

Clad in fiery feathers, does the feather transform into blazing fire, or does the blazing fire condense into the feather? At least in the deduction, it is the latter, which means that the feather has become elementalized.

As long as the fire elemental energy in the world continues, it can continuously condense feathers and release them in the form of "fire feather darts".

This completely changed the lackluster nature of the talent "Fire Feather Dart".

After all, the previous "Fire Feather Darts" required the use of feathers on the avatar to be fired, but the number of feathers was always limited, and after being fired, the avatar would become a bald bird, which looked terrible.

It wouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary. Now that it has been upgraded, this active talent can be used as a regular tactic, like the final burning of the imperial city in the simulation.

Bird-shaped incendiary device.

It is remarkably effective for clearing out enemy lines and conquering territory.

The characteristic of "its cry is as shrill as scraping bone with metal" is similar to a sonic attack, which is also an area-of-effect attack and belongs to the category of clearing the field and crowd control.

The characteristic of "liking to eat earth energy and plague energy" is that earth energy is fine, but once the "plague energy" spreads, countless people will die. Eating it can ensure that one's own side will not be harmed by the plague.

In the history books of the past, there are many examples of how two armies defeated each other by using "man-made plagues".

For example, using rotting corpses mixed with excrement and urine to pollute water sources, and throwing infected people into enemy lines, etc.

The most famous example, of course, is Lü Yue, the plague god in the Investiture of the Gods, who spread plague to Xiqi...

The Fire Crow's incarnation possesses two characteristics: "enjoying the plague and disease" and "burning the plague and disease," which allows this incarnation to largely ignore the opponent's "biological warfare."

It's somewhat similar to the Tree Demon Granny, but compared to the Tree Demon Granny who infuses plague and disease into her body and uses her own vitality to counteract it, burning it directly is safer and has no worries about the consequences.

In summary, the upgraded demon "Red Plague Fire Crow" is far more powerful than the demon "Fire Crow" from any perspective.

Moreover, there's the newly added talent "Crimson Plague Blaze"—

【Crimson Plague Blaze (Talent)】: Sparks beneath the wings ignite upon contact. Those who possess this talent can expend their Qi/True Qi/Mana to condense a wisp of Crimson Plague Blaze, burning away evil spirits and plagues, spreading it across hundreds of miles.

……

At first glance, this talent seems to overlap with "Fire Feather Darts," but the description reveals some differences.

The most domineering characteristic of "Red Plague Blaze" is that it "ignites upon contact with anything".

No matter what it is, even things that are not easily combustible such as metal, mud, rocks, or liquids, unless they can resist the properties of the Crimson Plague Fire, they will be instantly ignited if they come into contact with even the slightest spark.

Then there's the "burn evil spirits and plagues" feature. It's somewhat repetitive in dealing with "plagues," but the fact that it can also burn and kill evil spirits is quite imaginative.

After all, evil spirits include not only various strange creatures, but also zombies, ghosts, and dark places, all of which fall within the scope of evil spirits. Ordinary flames simply cannot ignite them or dispel them.

For example, you might encounter these dirty things in certain large tombs or underground palaces.

Ordinary cultivation methods, spells, talismans, and magical artifacts have limited or no effect.

With "Crimson Plague Blaze," everything became much simpler.

When you see these strange things, just throw a few sparks at them and burn them all to ashes.

Of course, some boss-level evil spirits may not even understand "Crimson Plague Flowing Fire," but there are also talents such as White Elephant's "Prison Suppression," Flying Tiger's "Qiongqi Blood Flame," Thunder Ox's "Chaotic Thunder Blast," and Green Dragon's "Four Fiends Yin Water" and "Mysterious Origin Heavy Water."

Just throw them all out at once, and you're bound to find one that suits you.

"hey-hey."

Liu Sheng chuckled, then shook his head.

"It's dawn."

He glanced out the window, his gaze shifting until it locked onto the remaining four avatars on the panel.

After the Fire Crow was upgraded to the Crimson Plague Fire Crow, only four incarnations remained: the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, the Golden-Toothed White Elephant, the Silver-Horned Thunder Ox, and the Black Wind Bear, which remained at the demon level.

After deducting the previous calculations, there are still a little over two million spiritual points left. Even if we skip the entire calculation process and indulge in a little luxury, it's more than enough.

With the Du clan's attack on the Gongsun clan imminent, it would be best to enhance their strength as soon as possible.

Then-

"Deduce the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, consuming Spiritual Essence to skip the deduction process!"
