Everyone instantly raised their guard and hurriedly looked up.
On a towering tree, a two-meter-tall black crow stood on a thick branch.
I looked like a crow, but it was not a crow.
This creature was covered in black feathers and had a pair of blood-red eyes.
The beak was half a meter long.
The sharp claws on its legs were even sharper than an eagle's.
[Black Crow]
Level: Level 2
Attributes: Wind
Skill: Beak Strike
Grade: Mythic (Grade 5)
Talent: Feathers Transformation (Not Awakened)
Combat Strength: 900
Health: 12,000
Blood Asura spun its scythe and was about to rush forward.
"Blood Asura, wait!"
Ye Chen hurriedly stopped her. Only then did Blood Asura stop, but it was already staring fixedly at the black crow above.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong? It's just a Level 2 monster. Can't the Blood Asura deal with it herself?"
Zhu Qiang asked curiously.
Tang Qiu said, "This is not a monster. This is a pet."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said to Black Crow.
"Stop hiding and come out!"
Then, a head popped out from behind the black crow. A 19-year-old youth stuck his head out.
Only then did Lin Nuo and Tie Niu relax.
The youth greeted everyone in embarrassment, "Hello, my name is Little Tian."
The youth called Little Tian patted Black Crow's back. "Little Black, go down."
The black crow slowly flapped its wings and descended from the tree.
Little Tian also climbed down from the black crow and limped to Ye Chen and the others.
Only then did Ye Chen realize that Little Tian's body was crippled.
He could not help but ask, "Why are you in the forest with your pet?"
Little Tian touched his head and smiled in embarrassment. "There are monsters outside. I was afraid, so I hid in the forest."
Zhu Qiang looked up at the tree and said in surprise.
"Good lord, you built a house on it."
Everyone looked up.
There was a large tree with a small wooden hut between two thick branches.
"It's too dangerous outside and on the ground, so I built a house above. I usually let Little Black fly out to look for food and drink."
Good lord!
Little Tian treated his pet as a nanny. Black Crow stood at the side and shook its feathers from time to time.
Ye Chen already understood what was going on, so he said, "Alright, be careful here alone."
With that, Ye Chen prepared to continue walking forward. He definitely could not continue filming in this area now.
If they encountered the law enforcement team that Hou Qinghua knew, it would be another problem.
"Big Brother, it's dangerous up ahead. There's a factory in front. It's a black-hearted workshop filled with bad people!"
Little Tian suddenly said from behind. Ye Chen suddenly turned around, his eyes lit up.
"Bad guys? How strong are they?"
Little Tian scratched his head. "I'm not sure about that either. In any case, they're quite powerful. If you want to go over, you should take that small path!"
He pointed in the other direction.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded. He threw the Tiger Skin Divine Robe to Little Tian. "This is the Tiger Skin Divine Robe. It can let you hide from monsters below Level 10. However, it can't hide you from the sight of humans. Be careful here alone."
The Tiger Skin Divine Robe was already useless to Ye Chen and the others.
After all, monsters below Level 10 were not much of a threat to Ye Chen and the others.
When he saw Little Tian, Ye Chen thought of his younger brother in reality.
Little Tian looked at the Tiger Skin Divine Robe in his hand and was immediately touched. "Big Brother, what's your name!"
"Ye Chen!"
After everyone left, Little Tian stood there for a long time before returning to the top of the tree and continuing to hide.
On the way.
Tang Qiu said sarcastically, "Captain Ye is really generous. You gave away such a good thing just like that!"
Ye Chen laughed dryly and did not speak.
This girl could not recognize reality. She thought that she was still the captain of the law enforcement team!
Half an hour later.
Hou Qinghua brought another team into the forest.
He called Little Tian down from the tree and asked about the whereabouts of Ye Chen and the others.
Having received Ye Chen's help, Little Tian naturally did not tell the truth.
He pointed out the location of the black-hearted workshop to Hou Qinghua.
After Hou Qinghua left, Little Tian rode the black crow and fled.
He continued to find other trees to live in.
A living person could not be hung to death by a tree.
At this moment, Ye Chen and the others had already arrived at the periphery of a village. Lin Nuoyi looked at the map on his phone and said, "After passing this village in front, you can reach the highway intersection. If you follow the highway, you can reach Qing County."
"This village is called Gao Village."
Ye Chen looked at the time and said, "There's still smoke in the village ahead. There should be someone there."
"Shall we go over and take a look?"
Ye Chen nodded and walked towards the village.
This place was remote and had fields for a few kilometers. Therefore, there were not many monsters here.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, a group of young people suddenly appeared and shouted, "What are you doing!"
These people should be the villagers of the village. They were all in their thirties and their pets were only Level 2 and Level 3 Rare grade.
Ye Chen cupped his hands and said, "I'm Ye Chen. These people are my teammates. We want to go to the highway intersection ahead. There's no other meaning."
The leader held the shovel and looked at Ye Chen and the others. "My name is Gao Xing of Gao Family Village, we won't let you pass here. You can go elsewhere!"
Tang Qiu frowned when she heard this.
Gao Chao, who was beside Gao Xing, tugged at his clothes and said, "Village Chief, their pets are at least Level 3. The pet of that person called Ye Chen is also at Level 4. We should be more polite."
When Gao Xing heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly checked their information.
"Sh*t, it's a Level 4 pet, a Grade 7 Sage."
Gao Xing instantly felt fear and uneasiness. He hurriedly said, "Big brothers and sisters, if you want to pass, go ahead. However, please don't hurt our villagers. We still have many unarmed old people and children in our village!"
Gao Xing stuttered a little.
Tang Qiu instantly curled her lips. "Who's your big sister? I'm only 25 years old!"
She was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, so she was immediately dissatisfied.
"Miss, Little Sister, I was wrong. Please! Please!"
Ye Chen glanced at Tang Qiu and said, "Alright, let's go."
He led the four of them forward.
When they passed by Gao Xing and the other villagers, they hurriedly lowered their heads. This was respect for the strong.
After walking out of the village, the entrance to the highway was not far ahead.
At this moment, the high-speed toll station was already in ruins. There were broken cars parked intermittently on the highway.
It seemed that there were also monsters on the highway before this. Looking at the miserable scene, Lin Nuoyi could not help but sigh.
"I wonder if this world can still return to how it was before."
Ye Chen comforted her. "We don't know if we can return to how we were before, but our main goal is still to survive."
Lin Nuoyi nodded and said nothing.
After walking along the highway for more than two hours, the highway entrance finally appeared in front of them.
The broken sign said: Welcome to Qing County.
Like the previous entrance, this place was also in ruins.
Everyone had now arrived at Qing County's territory.
However…
This place still belonged to the Seventh Region.
