Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 297 King Ah-Dai

Name: Ah-Dai

【Quality: Five Star】

[Status: This is a healthy, strong, intelligent, cunning, and shifty-eyed raven. It possesses a heart of ice, allowing it to easily master one or two ice-based spells. Furthermore, it can freely soar through the skies during radiation storms, slowly absorbing chaotic magical particles to replenish its mana. It can also easily fly thousands of kilometers and return the same way it came. It is capable of most reconnaissance missions, meticulously recording the information gathered. Occasionally, it can also carry out infiltration missions, provided there is enough tempting food.]

[Pet Talent: Frost Arrow. It can attach itself to a feathered arrow, performing up to nine fine-tuning maneuvers in a very short time. Upon hitting an opponent, depending on the master's needs, the feathered arrow transforms into a more powerful frost arrow, freezing the target for 1-3 seconds.]

[Hunting Talent: Shared Vision, usable within a 10-kilometer straight-line range]

[Hunting Talent: Kingly Demeanor. It can abduct up to nine mutated crows to become its underlings. From these mutated crows, it may be able to select some to be hunted by other hunters. Once Ah-Dai leads its nine underlings into the sky, it will effectively cover the battlefield within a 20-kilometer radius, and at the same time, it will more effectively drive away other alien birds of prey.]

[Warning: A five-star hunting pet and its minions require a pet card of at least four stars; the best option is a five-star pet card.]

Brother Dai, I was wrong!

Li Wei sighed. He had thought that getting a three-star pet card from Old John's inheritance would be pretty good, but the situation changed too quickly.

Five-star pet card?
He doesn't even know where to get a four-star pet card!

Fortunately, there's no rush. Let's let Ah Dai rest for now. We still have two years; there'll always be a way.

As for now, of course we have to set off; he has already delayed for too long.

"Ah Dai, you go ahead and scout ahead. Remember to wait for me at the small town base."

After giving a brief instruction, Ah Dai jumped onto the doorknob, hopped a few times, flapped his wings, and opened the door—he was quite agile.

Li Wei ignored it, changed into his crested armor, put on his tactical backpack, and hung up his enchanted greatsword, bloodthirsty spear, and enchanted powerful bow, making himself look like a hedgehog.

But it's not a big problem, because he now meets the conditions for activating the third trait of rare scouts.

Weapon mastery, -8 cumbersomeness, allows for quick switching between up to four weapons.

After getting ready, Li Wei pushed open the door and set off. She saw Li Feng and Liang Yuying sitting not far away, looking somewhat suspicious and aggrieved.

Upon seeing Li Wei walk out, he jumped to his feet, staring in horror, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

For the past seven days, Liang Yuzhi had sent the two of them to the third basement level to hide them away. They had been hidden away for seven days, and they had a bad feeling about it then. Today, they finally came up here to find Li Wei and ask him to clarify whether they still wanted to cooperate. He said that Li Wei's attitude was a bit impolite.

However, they were told that Li Wei had been injured and could not be visited.

Seeing Li Wei emerge fully armed, their hearts sank even further. Could it be? Could it be? Could you really persuade either Scorpion or Widow to help you raid your base?
At this moment, Li Feng didn't care about NG anymore. He rushed up and stopped Li Wei, his eyes already filled with tears. "Little brother, are you going out to look for your uncle? He went out for a walk and hasn't come back. My heart feels like it's in an ice cellar. I'm so heartbroken. Can you take me with you? I need to see him alive or dead!"

Hey, that's really interesting.

Li Wei calmly watched his performance and directly shattered his illusions, "Li Feng, you have to accept the facts. Your uncle is dead and will never come back. Rest here in peace! This is an order."

Li Feng stammered, his eyes fixed on Li Wei, as if trying to find the right answer. Unfortunately, Li Wei didn't owe him an answer and didn't say anything more before turning and leaving.

Liang Yuying on the other side seemed to have something to say, but ultimately gave up because things were clearly out of control. This kid always manages to do the unexpected.

But it doesn't matter. By the end of this month, Scorpion and Widow will definitely settle accounts. Let's see what you do then.
Li Wei didn't need to pay any attention to Li Feng and Liang Yuying's resentment. He walked straight out of the camp building without stopping.

It should be morning, but the sky outside is still gray and gloomy, with eerie black clouds blocking the sky. Wisps of black mist float on the ground, and the concentration of radiation toxins not only has not decreased, but seems to have increased.

Meanwhile, on the eastern city wall, a battle was drawing to a close.

Li Yue was on duty and did not see Liang Yuzhi.

Nodding at her, Li Wei took the universal gold card that had just fallen and upgraded the Rat Exterminator title by half a level. Now, he was exempt from level 3 Blood Plague.

enough.

Without saying anything more, he jumped off the city wall under the watchful eyes of Li Yue and the others, waded through the stinking puddles, and strode westward.

They had only walked a few hundred meters when a supernatural creature suddenly burst out of the black mist. It was incredibly fast, with sharp fangs and a ferocious appearance, but something else was even faster.

Almost instantly, a spearhead pierced through its back.

Li Wei had taken out the Bloodthirsty Spear at some point. Without even throwing it, he simply pierced the mutated creature, which weighed about two hundred pounds, with one hand, sending it flying as if he had stepped on an ant on the roadside.

Even without the title of Flame Baron, his current strength is already a whopping 40 points. With his normal +3 perception, any mutated creature below level 4 would be instantly killed by him, including most of the less special level 5 mutated creatures, which he is now confident he can easily kill within a few rounds.

The power resulting from this frenzied attribute values ​​is so clear and obvious.

In a short time, Li Wei had killed more than thirty level 3 mutated creatures. These creatures were wandering around the camp and might approach the city wall at any time, where they would be shot by the free people with crossbows.

This has become the norm.

Interestingly, it has been seven days since the radiation storm broke out, but apart from that special BOSS, the strongest of the mutated creatures that came to attack was only level 4, and there were almost none at level 5.

"Could they all be hiding deep underground?"

"So, when the radiation toxins accumulate to a sufficient level by the end of the month, could it cause some of the level 5 mutated creatures to go out of control, leading to an enhanced monster siege?"

This thought flashed through Li Wei's mind; it was quite possible.

Therefore, the best approach to raiding a base is to act swiftly and decisively, while ensuring a safe and secure outcome.

Li Wei then headed west, sparing no effort in running at a moderate pace throughout. It was three hours later when he arrived at the small town base.

It consumed a total of 240 stamina points and covered a total distance of 160 miles, which is not bad.

He's already starting to look like a little superhero.

Along the way, he didn't encounter a single level 4 mutated creature; they were mostly level 3. Sometimes he was too lazy to kill them and just passed by quickly.

Interestingly, when Li Wei arrived at the small town base, he felt that the concentration of radiation toxins was gradually decreasing, and even the number of level 3 mutated creatures had decreased significantly.

Even when he stepped onto the 20-story building in the center of the small town base, he could see the setting sun slowly descending in the west, and he could even see a sliver of blue sky over there.

"Congratulations, you have reached the dividing line between difficulty 180% and difficulty 150%. Here you will see this strange scene."

Liang Yuzhi was setting up a fire on the rooftop of the building, and even the flames looked eerie under the influence of the radiation storm.

Li Wei sat opposite her, and Ah Dai was also standing by the fire waiting, his mouth already greasy from eating.

"Second Aunt, what's the situation here?"

"It's fine, nothing unusual. However, radiation storms fluctuate with peaks and troughs. We are currently in the trough of a radiation storm. It is expected that the radiation storm will intensify again in seven days and last for two or three days before weakening again. Once this cycle continues, the annual radiation storm period will be over."

As Liang Yuzhi spoke, she automatically activated her mental energy field, replacing the conspiracy card.

"Is there any movement in the west?"

Li Wei asked again, showing that he dared not underestimate Scarface Ge Lan and Chu Wushuang.

The other party is also highly intelligent and experienced. Even if they are afraid to raid our base this month because of Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi, it is very possible that they will come to scout during the low point of the radiation storm.

"Nothing has been found yet. Xiaoyue scouted about a hundred miles to the west yesterday, but found nothing."

"In short, the opponent you chose this time is very strong, so I want to ask you one more question: you should at least have the ability to run away if you can't win."

"This is natural."

"Alright, then I have nothing more to say. After all, in some areas, Xiaoyue and I are not as good as you."

Liang Yuzhi nodded and said nothing more. She simply drew Li Wei's Bloodthirsty Spear, and slowly stroked it with both hands. In just a few seconds, the enchantment was completed.

She then removed Li Wei's noble emblem and casually wiped it, completing the magic storage as well. In just a few days, she had made great progress, which was likely due to obtaining a Phantom Heart, one-third of a Stone Heart, and one-third of an Ice Heart.

"Don't be surprised, I did accidentally advance to the second tier and activate and bind my fifth class card," Liang Yuzhi said with a smile, slightly proud, but she didn't say what her fifth class card was.

Then, she handed Li Wei a small box made of lead alloy. She didn't say what it was, and Li Wei didn't ask.

"Second Aunt, be careful."

"Be careful too."

After leaving those words, Li Wei went downstairs, crossed the city, and continued westward. Ah Dai flew in the sky and soon disappeared from sight.
