Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 97: "Meet A Scammer"

"Aiya!"

The shadow suddenly shook, tilting towards Castra before it collapsed out of the blue.

Plop!

The gigantic shadow twisted like a ferocious ghost, but what appeared in front of Castra was a pitch black bird the size of two palms.

The bird suddenly tripped on its legs and tumbled, rolling down the ground like a ball and then hit Castra’s leg hard.

Bang!

"Ouch! Ouch! Kaaa! Kaaaa! You hurt meeeee!!!"

The bird immediately screamed miserably while rolling around clutching its legs with its wings, as if the legs broke on the spot.

While clutching its legs and screaming, the black bird opened a slit gap in its closed eyes, carefully observing Castra.

The moment Castra twitched his lips, the bird immediately screamed to the sky with a hoarse voice.

"Caw! Caw! Caw! My legs broke, ka! Ohhhh, poor me! Bullied by a two-legged beast!"

The black bird shed tears, looking utterly pitiful, but the three other spirits couldn’t even squeeze an ounce of pity.

Castra even had an urge to roast the bird on the spot.

Who is this scammer?!

How dare this bird try to fool him??

Castra thought that the bird was just dramatic at most and a bit of a liar, but then, the black bird, seeing that no one took it seriously, immediately limped on its legs and started to sob pitifully.

"Wuawuwww, this crow is so pitiful, ka! This crow broke the leg and the wings, ka! This crow— needs money to go to the healer, ka!"

....?

Did this crow just demand money??

No, no, it is extorting money!!

Castra rolled his eyes and immediately bent down, about to grab the crow’s wings when the crow immediately darted away as fast as lightning while still shedding tears.

"Wuwuwuwu! The two-legged beast wants to silence the victim! So scary!"

The crow hopped on one foot but it instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye, only leaving a trail of dust.

Castra’s stretched hand only met an empty air and his eyes turned blank.

...??

Did that crow just hit him and run??

Castra didn’t know how many times he had been speechless, so speechless that he couldn’t move his tongues.

Garfin and Lady Fera watched the whole ordeal with wide eyes and only snapped out of their shock once the bird disappeared from their vision.

"Meow, meow?? Who is that?? Is that the owner of this island, the one who has been harassing us, meow??"

"Fufufu, I think so too, but how come this one doesn’t look as dangerous as the mysterious mastermind?"

That big shadow just now clearly looked like a gigantic bird, so how did a crow suddenly stumble out?

Or maybe the crow just took the fall for the real mastermind?

The clever Lady Fera thought as far as heaven and earth, not knowing that the crow was sweating bullets as it slowly turned invisible.

Caw! Caw! What bad luck! How did he trip on his own third leg?! Would those people know that he’s the one?

Ahhhh! What if they come to roast him?!!

The crow was so anxious that its feathers were falling out, almost making it bald!

The poor crow hit its unlucky third leg and immediately spied on the three spirits with its slit eyes.

Hmph! That one was just a mistake! Next time— hmph! This venerable will definitely scare you to death!

While the crow was brewing an evil plan, Castra’s brain finally went online and he suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Ah! Wasn’t that scammer a crow?? I forgot to take its poop!!"

He was so shocked by the crow’s audacity that he actually forgot!!

Lady Fera and Garfin also looked at each other with wide eyes, thinking:

Damn, we are the fools!

"Quick, quick, the crow went that way!"

Castra rushed towards the crow’s disappearing direction but when he arrived, once again, he saw nothing but an empty air.

....does this crow really like to play hide and seek?

He had a strong feeling that the crow was indeed the mastermind who had been attacking them before!

Castra didn’t want to waste his second day of the mission so instead of searching aimlessly, Castra sat down with Garfin and Lady Fera, his face stern.

"I think we have to lure out that bastar— I mean that crow— hisss! My butt is hot!"

Castra quickly stood up while thinking about the dear crow.

Hmph. If that crow was really the one attacking him with fireballs and flipping the entire island...

He had 101 ways to roast a bird!

"Meow, meow, why did that crow suddenly show its shadow and appear now, meow?"

Before this, the crow didn’t show itself at all.

"Fufufu, maybe it is feeling confident to scare us after it flipped the island."

Speaking of flipping the island...what if the crow did that again?!

Castra immediately nudged his toilet spirit and used the toilet spirit as his floating chair before he rubbed his chin.

"How about we destroy the island? That beast will definitely appear, right?"

Garfin and Lady Fera immediately looked at Castra as if they were looking at a big villain.

So cruel! So ruthless!

But that’s a good idea~

Garfin immediately cracked its paws and grinned,

"This king’s fist is itching to punch something!"

Along with the sound of bones creaking, Garfin’s body slowly grew bigger and bigger, reverting to half of his original size.

Castra silently took a few steps back as he watched Garfin lift its paw, and...

"Nyan Nyan Punch!"

Bang!

The moment the paw hit the ground, the whole island shook!

Castra was caught off guard and he immediately fell flat on his face and the sizzling hot ground instantly burned his delicate skin.

"Ah! Ah! Hot! Hot!"

As the ground shook, cracks started to appear on the fluffy cloud ground!

From above, the entire island looked like it was about to split into countless pieces.

The crow, who was still on the island, instantly turned into the "scream" painting.

"CAAWWWW!! HOW DARE YOU?!"

A thundering voice boomed all over the island and the next second— 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The crow also transformed!
