Chapter 666 Want to play a game of Gwent?

Cheng Tian actually has a rather negative view of crows.

Even knowing that it is actually a beneficial bird that can participate in ecological balance, his senses are relatively poor, which is actually due to a rather special regional reason.

In the city where he lived, Shengjing, a large flock of crows would always circle above the city's train station.

Moreover, on autumn and winter evenings, roughly estimated to be hundreds of crows would perch in rows on power lines and rooftops, staring eerily down below.

Although they don't actively do anything to humans, they cause significant pollution to the ground with their excrement.

The ground in and around the station square is covered with a lot of bird droppings, which are impossible to remove. Even if sanitation workers work hard to shovel away the dirt, new droppings will appear the next day.

White cars poop black, black cars poop white—that's a perfect description of these crows.

Those who are even more unlucky probably don't need further description; those who know, know.

So when he saw a large flock of crows rushing towards him, Cheng Tian's body instantly erupted with a sinister purple spiritual flame, along with six silver mental crystals that also burned with the same flame. These seven flames extended directly to the mental barrier that Cheng Tian had erected in front of his body.

The mental barrier, which originally only had defensive and projectile deflection capabilities, suddenly transformed into a fire shield burning with the "Flame of Destiny"!

The flock of red-eyed crows crashed headlong into Cheng Tian's fire shield—

The spiritual flames instantly ignited the feathers of the first few crows, which were already coated with waterproof grease.

Eileen, who was more agile and had a faster reaction speed than Cheng Tian, ​​had already raised her hand and created a gust of wind, which fueled the fire from Cheng Tian. In the end, the crows whose heads had not crashed into the shield were also chained together and burst into flames, as if they were hanging by "iron chains".

In just a few breaths, the crows that had attacked Cheng Tian turned into a sky full of purple flames, which began to scatter in all directions without any order.

The problem is that these crows are not only targeting Cheng Tian; all the humans present are within their attack range.

"Damn it! It's those weird things again!"

The Grand Commander, who had no intention of hiding any longer, pulled a slightly hot stone from his waist, smoothly inserted it into the grappling hook launcher, and fired it.

The stones collided with each other in the air, bursting into a considerable amount of fire.

"...This time, we must find their source no matter what!"

Merlin's right eye slowly opened, and as fine cracks appeared on a dragon claw-shaped offering embedded in his arm, a dozen floating dragon tooth arrows, enveloped in dark magic, appeared around Merlin.

Players whose purchasing intentions were forcibly interrupted by external forces also began to fight against the flock of crows.

This flock of crows was not strong, even weaker than the demonized crows Cheng Tian had seen in Demon Village, and could not cause much real damage to the player group.

But Cheng Tian could sense that these crows, controlled and manipulated by some kind of dark magic, seemed to have lost the cunning and wisdom that this species should have. Even though they knew they were no match for him, they were still relentlessly ramming into his fire shield.

"A flock of crows...a flock of crows..."

As Cheng, who had already stuffed the Poisonous Bird Egg into the Bond Stone, muttered to himself while using his wingman to fire precise shots, his mind was already rapidly searching for information.

Monster Hunter, World, Crows, Pukei-Pukei—

A withered and emaciated figure appeared after the search was completed. "So, that guy addicted to playing cards will also appear?"

Having essentially confirmed the source of these crows, Cheng looked around and then fixed his gaze on a white-haired man who had successfully blended into the player group.

The man raised his hand and unleashed a fan-shaped wave of fire, freeing the players who were entangled by crows.

So that's how it is. Has the power of collaboration begun to take effect? ​​Then the appearance of this man is indeed not surprising.

After leaving behind a large number of crow carcasses, the already dwindling flock of crows seemed to receive some kind of remote command and abruptly retreated into the jungle, startling a large number of native creatures.

In the words of local hunters, these flocks of crows are thoroughly invasive species, similar to the definition of red-eared sliders, plecos, and giant African snails in the real world. They are all species that are harmful to the local ecological environment and are given a very high priority in dealing with them among the hunter community.

Objectively speaking, it is indeed not as harmful as Gu Long, but the guild will still not let it go unchecked.

At this point, it would be more appropriate to let the members of the fifth generation handle the situation.

The guild leader, who had killed some crows, immediately used guild privileges to issue an additional guild investigation quest.

You have triggered a special side quest – “Where Do the Crows Come From?”

Team mission: Find the source of these crows that actively attack humans and damage the ecosystem.

"White Wolf?"

Hearing the sound behind him, the white-haired man who was dissecting a crow with a knife was slightly startled, then turned around and saw Cheng Tian.

"...I never expected to hear someone call me by that title in this so-called other world."

The man was quite surprised, and his previously menacing face softened noticeably.

"Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher, I have no idea."

Geralt wiped the knife before putting it away and stared directly into Cheng Tian's eyes. His wolf-like pupils left a deep impression.

"Orange of the Sun Legion, the Priest of Hearts, now also works as a Monster Knight."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then, as if struck by a divine inspiration, they said the same thing in unison.

"Want to play a game of Gwent?" *2
Under the influence of the collaboration, Monster Hunter World may feature all the characters it has collaborated with, many of whom are from its own IP, but quite a few are from other games.

The Witcher, featuring Geralt of Rivia, is one of the official collaborations in the Monster Hunter world. It's not just a simple collaboration of characters and appearances; Geralt himself is directly placed into the Monster Hunter world, and a complete exclusive questline is designed. Players will then enjoy the fun of playing as a Witcher in the Monster Hunter world.

Of course, it's not just NPCs; even monsters will appear because of the collaboration, such as the source of these crows.

A monster, a remnant of an untamed ecological will, but twisted by demonic power—

Deer-headed spirit.
