Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 708 - 405. Heaven Reaching Tower_4
A response floated out from the bathroom: "Got it! One more minute!"
Only thirty seconds had passed.
The captain suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if a fierce beast was watching nearby.
He shouted without hesitation, "Something's wrong! Everyone, stay alert!"
Just as he finished speaking.
A black feather appeared out of thin air.
The captain's pupils contracted sharply.
Damn it!
Could it be the Spirit Crow?
The next moment.
"Caw!"
The sound of a crow's call suddenly erupted.
The black feather exploded, morphing into a ripple.
A Spirit Crow, sleek and shiny, quickly emerged from the ripple.
The captain roared, channeling his superpower with all speed and punched towards the Spirit Crow.
The Spirit Crow instantly turned incorporeal.
The captain's punch hit thin air.
"Ah~"
A shrill scream echoed.
The captain quickly turned around, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
York's two eyeballs were clawed out, dangling on his face, looking especially horrifying.
Although York wasn't dead, he stood dumbly in place, most likely controlled.
Undoubtedly the Spirit Crow's doing.
The Spirit Crow cawed mockingly, "White-skinned trash, is this all you've got?"
The captain's heart pounded heavily.
He understood that the Spirit Crow's "white-skinned trash" was definitely a retort to York's earlier "yellow-skinned monkeys".
The captain realized something even worse — the video recorded by the cameras had likely been obtained by the Great Xia people.
He tried to stay calm and asked, "Which Spirit Crow are you?"
The Spirit Crow replied, "I'm Liu Hei!"
Currently on Canglan Star, the name Liu Hei is quite famous; even ordinary people from various countries know it's the leader of the Spirit Crow flock, having contributed greatly to Great Xia.
The captain felt increasingly uneasy: "Mr. Liu Hei, if my senses are correct, you should have already advanced to Warrior, right?"
Liu Hei nodded with its bird head, but didn't sound too pleased: "Just advanced half a month ago."
The displeasure was because Fire Crow Black No.33 advanced over ten days earlier.
Failing to claim the title of "the first Spirit Crow to advance to Warrior," this competitive Spirit Crow felt a bit defeated.
The captain gasped, his heart sinking instantly.
He finally understood, this was a trap set by the Great Xia people, specifically to lure Federation superpower users here.
Liu Hei sneered, "You think I don't know you're trying to stall for time? I'll be blunt, the two idiots in the bathroom are dead, and the two idiots guarding outside have also kicked the bucket."
After speaking, it pecked forcefully.
"Snap!"
York's skull had a hole pecked open, and murky brain matter gushed out.
His throat gasped twice and he fell straight to the ground with a dull "thump".
Liu Hei hovered in mid-air, continuing to mock, "Worthless white-skinned trash!"
The captain's eyes almost burst with rage, ready to fight the Spirit Crow to the death.
Unfortunately, the power gap was too vast.
The captain barely moved his right arm before a sharp pain pierced his forehead, quickly draining his strength.
"Ah~"
He couldn't help but moan.
A thought flashed in the captain's mind: "Did the Spirit Crow also peck a hole in my forehead? Why can't I see anything?"
Soon after.
Darkness swallowed his consciousness.
Liu Hei cawed again, vanishing instantly.

Ten minutes later.
Ten kilometers from Dongli Kingdom's Capital Han Guang City.
Hanlai Base.
The Federation's highest-ranking commander, General Douglas, frowned deeply, watching a video in front of him.
This video was the most viral clip in Dongli Kingdom's section of the disaster response guide software developed by Great Xia.
Uploaded just five minutes ago, it already had over three million views and more than ten thousand comments.
"... This trash... installed surveillance!"
"... Likes to film... yellow-skinned monkeys mating."
"... I'm tired of playing with these yellow-skinned women."
The dialogue was from the superpower user squad dispatched by the base.
Two headless corpses lay in the corner of the video. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The video fully recorded the process of two Dongli Kingdom civilians being shot by Federation superpower users.
General Douglas sighed wearily, cursing, "Damn Lawrence, bungled even something so small!"
In the past, Dongli Kingdom's internet was firmly controlled by the Federation; deleting the video and warning those in the know would easily suppress the incident.
But now it's different, the Federation is powerless to stop the video's spread.
General Douglas knew, just from his toes, that after this video's release, relations between the Federation army and Dongli Kingdom would certainly become very tense.
The adjutant asked softly, "General, what should we do now?"
General Douglas pondered calmly for a while and issued an order: "Immediately clarify publicly that this is a forged video by the Great Xia, aiming to tarnish the Federation's name."
The adjutant responded, "Yes!"
But both knew very well, this action would be almost ineffective; few Dongli people would believe it.
General Douglas then put forth a substantive measure: "Increase the alert levels at all bases worldwide."
He paused, emphasizing, "Be cautious of the Dongli people!"
"Yes!"
