103: Chapter 103 Reconnaissance of the Raven King

Empty!

Just as Qin Ce used Nine-Star Insight on the Raven King within the thinning Ink Feather Mist in the sky.

A sense of lag came over him.

It was as if there was nothing in that range.

No.

It wasn't that there was nothing.

It was more like there were too many targets, and he didn't know which one to identify information for.

Qin Ce narrowed his eyes, pushing his Nine-Star Insight to the limit.

The view in his sight magnified, surprisingly filled with tiny specks of brilliance.

Only then did a sense of certainty arrive.

The current status of the Raven King appeared in Qin Ce's mind.

[Beast]: Raven King (Severely Injured)

[Level]: Gold Rank Peak

[Potential]: Starlight High-Grade (Can Evolve)

[Attribute]: Dark/Wind

[Talent]: Ink Feather Mist (Gold Rank) — Releases silver-gray dense fog, can interfere with and absorb energy attacks. Can create illusions to confuse enemies. Can cause damage to electronic devices.

[Skills]: Ink Feather Cloud, Shadow Assault, Wind Wing Slash, Illusory Mist Tracking, Wind Arrow Barrage, Spatial Transformation (Preliminary Mastery)

[Status]: Severely Injured (Left lung lobe pierced, continuous blood loss, combat power decreased by 80%), Devouring (Fusing with different spatial elements), Insane, Irritable.

[Weakness]: Defense at the wound significantly decreased, weak high-altitude combat ability (ceiling lower than flying beasts of the same tier), sustainability of all skills decreased in severely injured state. In its lower right abdomen, it is devouring foreign crystal core energy, and the energy structure here is extremely unstable.

[Evolution Opportunity]: Can devour a spatial-type beast crystal core to transform into a Nether Raven, or absorb a large amount of high-level dark energy to evolve into a Death Knell Raven.

...

Seeing this information, the general content was within Qin Ce's expectations.

In fact, Nine-Star Insight wasn't even needed. Many people already knew that the Raven King was severely injured and its left lung was pierced, which was its biggest weakness at the moment.

As long as one attacked the severely injured left lung, they could absolutely slay the Raven King.

However, beneath these public pieces of information, Qin Ce saw many different things.

First of all, the Ink Feather Mist can create illusions? The Raven Flock had never demonstrated this before.

Furthermore, in the textbook analysis of the Raven species, this characteristic had never appeared either.

It wasn't until Qin Ce saw the "Devouring" status that he thought of the Wolf Spider King's unique spider silk bone tendons from before.

Could this Raven King have obtained an evolution opportunity? And it was very likely given specifically by the Bear Beast King to enlist its help.

This also explained why the Raven King hadn't dealt with him personally along the way; it was at a critical moment of evolution and couldn't spare the effort.

Moreover, this evolution devouring hadn't finished yet. On the contrary, because it was severely injured, the lower right abdomen where it was devouring and fusing became a weakness.

And this weakness was far more critical than the wound on the left lung. Because the damage caused by unstable energy was far more dangerous to the Raven King than simple physical injury.

One was an internal injury, the other was a flesh wound; it was obvious. Thinking of this, Qin Ce's eyes lit up.

This wave was a huge win; as expected, the wisdom of the ancestors was the most awesome.

Just then, an abrupt notification sound, a long-lost system quest, rang in Qin Ce's mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected host identifying Gold Rank leader beast · Raven King at close range, combined with surrounding opportunity and luck.]

[Special Quest Triggered: The Fall of the King]

[Quest Content: Personally slay the Gold Rank beast Raven King.]

[Quest Reward 1: Raven King Mutation Attribute Extraction Opportunity × 1 (Can randomly extract any one of the Raven King's talents, skills, or attributes to form a unique attribute crystal core, which can be used to fuse into the host or a Pet Beast)]

[Quest Reward 2: Beast Tamer exclusive reward, Body Tempering Technique "Reborn" and a matching physical attack skill "Seven Kills Chaos" (Seven Forms)]

[Quest Reward 3: Opportunity Reward, obtain a guide to the Fengling City Wang Family's secret realm of opportunity.]

[Failure Penalty: None]

...

Qin Ce was stunned.

Huh? The system had issued a new quest?

Ever since the system released a "Battle for Supremacy" three months ago, there had been no movement. Why was it here again now?

Also, he understood the "extract mutation attribute" part. The body tempering technique and attack skill rewards were also normal. But where did this Wang Family secret realm of opportunity come from? Which Wang family?

Qin Ce pondered in his mind. In his impression, those related to the surname Wang were few. One was that playboy Wang Yu from his freshman year.

The other was when they were switching defense zones earlier, Wu Zhou was making trouble behind the scenes, and Teacher Wei later investigated it; it was said that behind Wu Zhou was also the Wang family.

Could it be them? But what did they have to do with slaying the Raven King? Qin Ce couldn't figure it out.

Just then.

"Boom—!!!" In the distance, a heaven-shaking roar rang out.

Over a hundred Gold Rank Beast Tamers suddenly charged out collectively from a hotel.

Over a hundred auras of Gold Rank Pet Beasts, dazzling like the scorching sun, instantly attracted the attention of all the beasts!

The majestic Yellow-Maned Griffin, the Golden-Winged Peng with giant wings, the Thunder Horned Horse wrapped in lightning, the Fire Savage Elephant spewing flames...

Once they stepped onto the battlefield, they were a force of destruction.

Every one of their attacks could clear out a large area of beasts; the explosive energy illuminated half the sky, even more dazzling than the setting sun.

Qin Ce poked his head out to observe. From high up, it was very obvious that they had formed a huge arrow formation, attacking crazily towards the direction where the Raven King was located!

The ones at the very front formed a wave, all of them ground combat beasts, charging at the very front.

They charged fiercely all the way, just to open a path for those Beast Tamers behind them.

Afterwards, the second wave was all flying beasts, closely following behind, firmly surrounding one person.

The last ones were also mostly flying beasts with extraordinary combat power, providing air support for the first wave that was clearing the way crazily.

This team was well-coordinated and their offensive was fierce. One look and it was clear that it was the Gold Rank decapitation squad that had issued the recruitment notice on the squad badge earlier.

But Qin Ce's brows furrowed.

He couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath:

"Idiots!"
