The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

Left with no other option, they had to arrange for all the birds of prey to be brought out.

Soon, a dozen or so large cages were placed in the yard, each covered with a black cloth.

Zhou Ming stepped forward, opened each cage one by one to inspect them, and then immediately covered them with black cloth.

"Let's choose the eagle with the biggest head!" Zhou Ming looked around but wasn't quite satisfied, so he simply picked the biggest one based on its size.

"how much is it?"

“Then let the commander pay for it…” Yu Erchuan was originally going to pay for it himself, but one sentence made him stop.

"You think I can't afford it?" Zhou Ming said softly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Erchuan dared not utter a single word about paying.

It wasn't that Zhou Ming looked down on the two of them, he just didn't want to get too entangled with them.

After all, by the time Japan occupied Shanghai, far too many people had become traitors.

If those two people were involved, Zhou Ming didn't want to let this avoidable favor cause him unnecessary trouble.

After all, in addition to the rewards, there have been extra bonuses from the missions over the past few months.

For example, in the initial warehouse, Feng Qingming died not long after he was arrested, and his goods and property naturally went to the Special Service Department.

Zhou Ming didn't know how much of it was handed over and how much he kept for himself, but his share was exactly what he had—several thousand silver dollars.

Therefore, Zhou Ming is not short of money.

After buying the birds, Zhou Ming went to see the dogs and immediately took a liking to the five black dogs in the cage.

As expected of the king of dogs, it looks to be a little over a meter tall, with a shoulder height of seventy or eighty centimeters. In contrast, the average black dog is only seventy or eighty centimeters tall, which is equivalent to three heads.

Even though he looks miserable now, covered in scars, with his two hind legs twisted limply, he doesn't have that weak feeling of waiting to die; he still has vigorous energy and a fierce spirit.

After making the purchase, Zhou Ming couldn't wait to take the two cages back to the Special Agent's Office. By then, it was already getting dark.

Zhou Ming didn't even bother to eat, and returned to his dormitory with the two large cages.

Looking at the two cages covered with black cloth, Zhou Ming let out a long breath, calming his emotions.

"Let's start with the dogs. After all, they're badly injured, and we don't want them to die suddenly." Zhou Ming mentally reviewed the Bloodhound witchcraft once more.

"The main purpose of this witchcraft is to detect and track targets; its combat effectiveness is secondary."

The refined Bloodhound can fight independently at long distances. Its sense of smell is synchronized with the original body, so once the Bloodhound tracks down an opponent, it is equivalent to the original body locking onto the target.

The Blood Bird Technique synchronizes with the eyes, granting the user not only eagle-like vision but also the ability to see everything the Blood Bird sees.

“For ancient mountain tribes, this eagle and its hound would be enough to make them invincible, but for me, it's not enough.” Zhou Ming opened his eyes and exhaled.

Zhou Ming wanted to synchronize all five senses, not just smell and sight, to create an immersive experience.

Suddenly, firelight appeared in Zhou Ming's eyes, and a glass-like lamp appeared, with three spirit orbs in the burning flames.

After three months of practice, Zhou Ming cultivated the Seven Aperture Spirit Lamp Technique and produced two more spirit orbs.

There are three spirit orbs in total, which can activate three types of attacks or spells.

Unwrapping the black cloth covering the dog cage revealed the five black dogs inside.

"Awooo—" This was a warning sound, indicating that a low growl had been heard.

The five black dogs' eyes gleamed with ferocity; if Zhou Ming were to put his hand in, he would surely be bitten.

Zhou Ming chuckled, quite satisfied with the other party's ferocity, and red blood energy emerged from his body.

"Thump thump!" There was a commotion in the cage next to us, it seemed that the eagle was frightened by the power of the blood demon.

On the contrary, the five black dogs stood even lower, but showed no panic; instead, they were poised to strike.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength was obvious, and it was subdued in an instant, with a large red hand grabbing its neck.

After taking it out, he immediately made a cut on the black dog and used its blood to draw some twisted runes on the ground.

The crimson, bloodthirsty light bound the black dog, placing it in the center.

Zhou Ming stood up, looked down at the black dog, and ran his hand across his palm.

A gash appeared, and a stream of blood floated out, hovering in front of him.

With a thought, a blood-fiend talisman gradually floated out of his body and merged into his blood.

Blood churned, then suddenly burst into flames.

It transformed into a blood-red flame and fell directly down.

"boom!"

Flames shot up and burned more than a meter high.

However, Zhou Ming, who was so close, did not feel any heat at all. Instead, he felt a chill as his blood and baleful energy were condensed.

The black dog's soul was refined and gradually merged with the Blood Fiend Talisman. At that moment, Zhou Ming's eyes suddenly lit up and a spirit pearl flew out.

It directly merges with the Blood Fiend Talisman.

This was not a temporary fusion that had been incorporated into the attack, but rather a complete integration into the spell, becoming an effect of the magic.

When the crimson flames burned out, the crimson runes and black dogs on the ground disappeared, leaving only a somewhat rounded rune in the air.

The talisman re-integrated into his body. Zhou Ming's internal perception revealed that the talisman had flown to the side of the original talisman, no longer below it.

A faint light connected and began to rotate around the primordial rune. In addition to the Bloodhound rune, there was another illusory rune that looked like a heart.

These two spells have formed a closer connection with the Origin Spell. As more and more spells are created, they will form a vast system with the Origin Spell at its core.

Zhou Ming glanced at the blood-fiend talisman floating below, then opened his eyes and looked at the other cage.

"Let's test the effect first. If it doesn't work, then there's no need to waste the spirit pearl." A crimson light condensed on Zhou Ming's body.

The black dog's ghost appeared, enveloped in red light, and transformed into a blood demon dog.

The dog was as large as it was when it was alive, with wisps of red floating in its black fur, which looked quite frightening.

"It can indeed synchronize the five senses!" Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.

The Bloodhound sat at Zhou Ming's feet, its spirit stronger than when it was alive, and turned to look at its master.

Suppressing the urge to tear the eagle apart, he climbed down and closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

Zhou Ming could naturally sense the Blood Demon Dog's thoughts. He waved his hand, and the Blood Demon Dog turned into wisps of blood light and returned to his body.

Then I began practicing the Blood Bird Technique, which was similar to the previous steps, and the whole process went smoothly.

Chapter 13 Cultivation Requirements of the Blood Demon Blade

Zhou Ming retrieved the successfully refined talisman into his body, closed his eyes slightly, and sensed the changes within it.

These spells and incantations are equivalent to spell seeds. Once a spell is mastered, it is not fixed. It can be further cultivated to enhance it.

“The Blood Bird Technique is a differentiated skill, and it doesn’t require much combat power. Its role is similar to that of a sentry or scout in the army.” Zhou Ming thought to himself.

The red light on his body condensed and formed an eagle on his shoulder.

A glint flashed in Zhou Ming's eyes. Zhou Ming, who was already cultivating the corresponding spells, found that his visual ability had become even stronger.

Eagles naturally possess extremely sharp eyesight, allowing them to lock onto prey on the ground even from thousands of meters in the air.

This ability directly brought about a qualitative change in Zhou Ming's observational abilities, and the pupil technique he had originally cultivated ensured that his observational abilities would not decrease at night.

The same adaptation has been made to eagles, ensuring that their vision is not impaired at night.

"The current limit is only one, but it's enough." Zhou Ming pushed open the window, and the eagle on his shoulder immediately flew out.

In an instant, we were thousands of meters in the air, our eyes fixed on everything below.

After Zhou Ming turned around and changed his clothes, he also jumped out and landed on the roof next to him.

The crimson blood energy condensed on its body, forming the Blood Demon Dog.

Although bloodhounds cannot fly, they can move silently like ghosts, making no sound even when running wildly.

"With these hounds, we should be able to kill a few more today." Zhou Ming continued on his way silently.

Soon, the entire Hongkou area came into view in Blood Eagle's vision.

When Zhou Ming arrived near Hongkou, he had already noticed the anomaly.

"This is practically a mini-map," Zhou Ming couldn't help but marvel.

Blood Eagle had been watching every move on the streets of Hongkou. Among them, three groups of wanderers had already explored the area, which was clearly suspicious.

"No wonder there was no news during the day," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

However, this suited Zhou Ming's wishes perfectly, and he turned to look at the Bloodhound at his feet.

The cultivation of the Bloodhound spell is not about differentiation, but rather relies on the ability to track by smell. According to the lineage, at the end of the training, one can even smell the aura of a soul, and one cannot escape the Bloodhound's pursuit, whether in the sky or on the ground.

After sniffing twice, the Bloodhound turned its gaze to a building in the distance.

Zhou Ming, whose sense of smell had been synchronized, also became aware of the discovery of the Bloodhound.

There were four people there, smelling of guns and gunpowder, and exuding an aura of tension and unease.

Zhou Ming silently crossed the street and approached the building.

The smell was coming from a room with a window on the second floor. Apart from these four people, there was no one else in the entire three-story building.

A figure dressed in black lay prone on the outer wall, while a bloodhound passed right through the wall into the room. This is one of the reasons why the spell's name contains the character for "ghost."

The Bloodhound climbed to the third floor, peeked through the ceiling, and immediately saw the scene inside the second-floor room.

Of the four Japanese soldiers, two were sitting in chairs resting with their eyes closed, while the remaining two, one holding a camera and the other a gun, were cautiously observing the outside world through the cracks in the window.

After seeing this scene through the Bloodhound, Zhou Ming's lips curled up slightly. He crawled along the wall for a few steps, closing the distance.

Place your hand on your chest, and a wave of energy emanates from you the next second.

At this moment, the four Japanese soldiers in the room suddenly felt a sharp pain in their hearts, blood rushing to their brains, and their vision went black; they stopped breathing.

The two lying on the chairs didn't make much of a commotion, but the two standing by the window were a different story; they fell straight down.

Bloodhound immediately ran out and used his body to support the two people, allowing them to slowly fall down, thus preventing a major commotion.

Bloodhound then quickly opened several back doors, and Zhou Ming took the opportunity to walk in.
