Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 77 Gift

"Dark Cloud, what do you want?" Chu Deng asked succinctly.

The dark cloud tilted its head, looked at Chu Deng, then at Jin Xiaoyue, flew from the tree branch to the second-floor partition wall, approached Chu Deng, and picked up her sleeve.

"Is the dark cloud hungry?" Jin Xiaoyue thought it wanted to eat.

“It wants us to follow,” Chu Deng replied, rubbing Wu Yun’s little head with her fingertips.

The two followed the flying dark clouds for a while and saw three large and one small crows in a tree in a corner of the restaurant.

Dark clouds flew up to the treetops and cawed a few times. Three large crows flew down from the branches one by one and landed at Chu Deng's feet, pecking at Chu Deng's shoes.

Chu Deng: "..."

"Dengdeng, are they bowing to you?" Upon seeing this scene, Jin Xiaoyue naturally thought of the bowing postures she had seen before: kissing the face, kissing the hand, kissing the robe, and kissing the shoes.

"Sure." Chu Deng didn't know where this cunning crow had learned this from, so she took two steps back and raised her arm.

The dark cloud cawed twice more, and the three large crows landed on Chu Deng's arm again.

The crows huddled together, so big that Chu Deng could barely fit three on one arm. The dark cloud didn't pass by; it flew up to a tree and swatted the little crow down with one wing.

"Huh?!" Jin Xiaoyue was shocked to see this and quickly reached out to catch the little crow.

Unexpectedly, after the dazed little crow let out a tender "caw," it flapped its wings gently and landed steadily on Jin Xiaoyue's head.

Safe landing!

An invisible wind brushed past Chu Deng's ear, and she stopped feeding the three crows fire elemental energy, looking at the crow above Jin Xiaoyue's head.

That's right, the three large and one small creatures that Wuyun brought this time were all strange beasts.

The three larger ones are all fire-type, while the smaller one is wind-type.

When the dark cloud saw that the little crow had mistaken the person, it cawed angrily, flew to Jin Xiaoyue's head, and flapped its wing again, sending the little crow flying towards Chu Deng.

Boss, this kid is for you!

Chu Deng raised his hand to let the three large crows go, and caught the small one. The three crows on his arm circled around Chu Deng, unwilling to leave.

The dark cloud howled at them a few times, and they scattered in panic. The dark cloud chased away its three troublesome subordinates, stood on Chu Deng's shoulder to rest, and watched how Chu Deng would treat the little cub.

"So cute." Jin Xiaoyue carefully touched the little ball of coal that Chu Deng had curled up in his palm. "Is this the child of the dark clouds?"

"Yes, one of those three was born in Wuyun last year." Chu Deng had seen two children from Wuyun Province last year, and she didn't expect that one of them would awaken a fire-type ability. The other two should be mutated fire crows from the Wuyun clan, but she didn't expect that Wuyun could give birth to a mutated wind crow.

Chu Deng had seen the Wuyun clan before. At that time, there was only one strange beast, Wuyun, in the crow flock, and the rest were ordinary crows. He never expected that the number of strange beasts would increase so quickly in just one year.

Every year, strange beasts and plants reproduce and multiply. If left unchecked, it won't be long before the scene of a beast tide crashing into the city in the apocalypse will be repeated in Haishi.

Thinking of this, Chu Deng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Although alien beasts can be tamed by humans, that is extremely rare. After awakening their superpowers, the superpowered person's entire abilities will be developed, and alien plants and beasts are no exception. Some alien beasts even eat people.

Furthermore, exotic plants and beasts are better at utilizing their abilities than those of ability users, and ability users are often at a disadvantage at the same level.

Chu Deng is currently only a level four ability user, and she cannot guarantee that she will not encounter level five alien beasts or plants.

Chu Deng stroked the little crow's head with his thumb.

Unlike fire crows, wind crows rely on wind to fuel fire. If this wind crow is properly trained, it can enhance her combat power.

"I want to keep it," Chu Deng said earnestly to Wu Yun, placing the little wind crow on his other shoulder.

"Gah gah!" The cloud, having understood the words "stay," chirped happily twice, its long beak nuzzling against Chu Deng. Chu Deng patted the cloud, placed his index finger on the cloud's brow, and transferred his cultivated supernatural power to it.

The supernatural power absorbed by Chu Deng became gentle and mild, unlike the rough and violent power outside. The dark clouds seemed to be soaking in hot water, feeling somewhat ethereal, and could barely hold onto Chu Deng's school uniform.

"Dengdeng, let's name it," Jin Xiaoyue suggested, wiping away imaginary drool. She really wanted a little bird that could breathe fire and blow wind! She was so envious!

"Fire and wind elements don't provide much boost to wood elements. What you need is water or earth elements. I'll keep an eye out for them later." Chu Deng noticed his friend's envy. "These are ultimately external things. Improving your own strength is the only real solution."

During the apocalypse, Chu Deng met a superhuman who relied on a strange beast. Later, the beast was stolen, and the person himself had his crystal core dug out and his body dumped in the wilderness, leaving him with no burial place.

However, Jin Xiaoyue doesn't need to worry about these things; I'll think of them for her in advance.

The dark cloud had achieved its goal: after expanding its territory last year, it encountered a mutated wind crow and had this cub with the wind crow in July.

Actually, when Wuyun first met the cub's father, it wanted to capture the wind crow and offer it to Chudeng. However, firstly, Wuyun was expanding its territory and needed the wind crow's help, and secondly, it had its eye on the wind crow and wanted to breed with the powerful beast to strengthen its clan.

So the dark cloud waited and waited, and then the little wind crow was born. As soon as the little wind crow awakened, it couldn't wait to bring it to the eldest.

The cloud itself is a fire elemental, so it naturally knows the benefits a wind elemental can provide to a fire elemental. Therefore, even though its father was reluctant, it...

They need to be sent over too!

Without a boss, there would be no Dark Cloud! The boss is Dark Cloud's boss, and Dark Cloud has to offer something to the boss every year! Dark Cloud's subordinates all have to listen to the boss! Anyone who disobeys will be beaten up by Dark Cloud!

Thinking of the strange beast that had fought with him, the chuunibyou crow said goodbye to Chu Deng with a "caw caw" and flew away, appearing somewhat busy.

Anyway, it's much busier than Chu Deng keeping friends at school.

After all, Cloud is a mutated crow with only ambition, and it leads its clan to fight for territory every day.

Chu Deng, who has visited or even participated in Wuyun's daily activities, knows that Wuyun is busy, busy, and it's good that he's busy.

She kneaded the little crow with both hands, and the little lump of coal trembled and curled up, not daring to utter a sound, letting Chu Deng knead it.

"Its name is Qingyu," Chu Deng gave the little guy a name.

"Why is a black crow called Qingyu?" Jin Xiaoyue asked, puzzled.

Chu Deng curled the corners of her lips, "Because when it reaches a higher level, the tips of its feathers will be tinged with its attributes. Since it's wind-type, some of its feathers will turn blue."

This can be seen as Chu Deng's expectation for Xiao Fengya.

Her comrades-in-arms could never be weaklings.

Jin Xiaoyue recalled the red light she had seen flash in Chu Deng's eyes that night, and nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is... No wonder your eyes were red when you were killing the rat! Dengdeng is really amazing!"

Chu Deng paused, then reached out to touch the corner of her eye. Looking at Jin Xiaoyue, she asked, "Are my eyes red?"

“Yes,” Jin Xiaoyue nodded, “It’s not now, but it turned red last night and it was reflective.”

Chu Deng had a bittersweet feeling; this was the aftereffect of quickly leveling up to level five.

Level 5... is a level she didn't reach in the apocalypse.

I wonder what the world would be like through the eyes of a Level 5 person?

She looked forward to it.
