Chapter 595: Using pets to attack the dark priest and help the crow
Senior Crow has always been confident in his own strength, but when facing this shadow priest, he found himself somewhat helpless.
Kashin took off the water bag from his waist and took a few gulps. The cool water flowed down his throat, making him feel comfortable.
He calmed down and then said to Senior Crow:
"Assassins are known for their rationality and coldness. If you have such thoughts, it is because of your inner demons. As an assassin, calmness is crucial.
Only by staying calm can we make the most correct judgment and not be swayed by such irrational thinking. Once we are controlled by our emotions, we will be vulnerable when facing the enemy, which is very dangerous. "
Kashen's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the weakness in Senior Crow's heart. He felt that he had neglected the cultivation of his mental method.
Laws and techniques cannot be differentiated.
No matter how high your skills are, if you don’t have thoughts to protect them, you will be doomed. Some irrational thoughts often come up and influence people’s behavior...
After hearing what Kashen said, Senior Crow was silent for a while, and then asked: "Viscount Kashen, if we catch up with him and cannot kill him, wouldn't it be very dangerous? Are we going to catch up with him and watch him get away with it?"
His mind was full of doubts. In his opinion, just tracking without taking any action seemed to be putting the cart before the horse.
Kashin looked at Senior Crow and understood what he was thinking. He wanted to help Senior Crow, so he asked:
"Okay, you have an ordinary crow. Can it do something according to instructions?" There was a hint of curiosity in Kashin's eyes. He wanted to know what kind of abilities this crow, which was so valued by the Crow Senior, had.
When Senior Crow heard Kashin's words, he immediately became excited and said:
"How difficult is that? It's no problem to ask it to do something complicated, like... opening a lock or something."
Elder Crow's face was filled with pride; this crow was the result of his years of hard work, and its abilities far exceeded those of ordinary birds.
As soon as Kashin heard it, he knew that this ordinary bird had a first-rate intelligence and could be tamed so well by a crow, so it must have something extraordinary.
Lock picking is a delicate job that requires extremely high intelligence and dexterity. Even Kashin himself might not be able to do it well if he were to do the work of a thief.
He couldn't help but look at the crow differently and had a plan in mind. He didn't expect that this time an ordinary crow could easily deal with the shadow priest.
Senior Crow, who was not in my plan, finally gave me a surprise...
Then he told the previous plan, opened a bag of military rations and let Senior Crow eat it, and took out the sheath to make lotus leaves for later use.
At the same time, the senior used a bamboo whistle to call his pet crow to report back...
Kashin wrapped about a pound of black powder in a lotus leaf and handed it to Senior Crow. At this moment, he also understood that force is not important at this time, but brain is.
The senior took the heavy bag of medicine powder and said with a smile: "Viscount Kashin is quite good at this. Do you carry poison with you? In the picture book, you are invincible and many masters fall at your feet. So that's how it is..."
Kashen raised his eyebrows, smiled in the moonlight, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "In most cases, there is no chance to poison. We are hunting tonight, so we have time to play... I will not take action to capture the shadow priest, and I will just let Senior Crow do the merit..."
The crow returned silently and stood in the palm of the senior's hand. Then, after a burst of bird chirping, it flew away with the lotus leaf bag in its claws.
At this moment, Kashen saw his pet going away, so he asked the silver wolf to stay on standby, and the two of them ran towards the dark priest at a rapid speed.
In this mysterious and dangerous area, the two people's speed is almost the same.
As they ran, their feet seemed to have magical power and did not make any sound. In such an environment, although mounts can provide a certain speed advantage, the sound of mounts' footsteps can easily expose their whereabouts.
For people like them who are good at covert operations, approaching the target quietly is the top priority, so they resolutely gave up their mounts and galloped on the post road relying on their own strength.
After about ten minutes, they could basically see the figure of the Dark Priest on the road at the end of their focused tracking gaze. Even with their eyesight, they could only see a small black dot, which was looming in their field of vision.
After some estimation, the Dark Priest was about 300 meters away from them. At this time, the pet crow that had been hovering over the Dark Priest began to move. It actually calculated the wind direction and accurately tore open the lotus leaf bag above the Dark Priest.
The moment the lotus leaf bag was torn open, the powder inside dispersed and formed a light mist in the air.
The shadow priest was concentrating on his journey. His mind was completely focused on reaching the destination as quickly as possible or getting rid of possible pursuers. He didn't notice what was happening above his head at all.
He just suddenly smelled a foul odor coming towards him, and the odor was like an invisible tentacle that immediately penetrated into his nasal cavity.
Then, he immediately felt his nose itchy. The itching felt like countless small bugs were crawling in his nasal cavity, which was unbearable.
Then, the itchy feeling quickly spread, his face, neck, and hands became extremely itchy, especially his throat, which seemed to tear his throat apart.
If it was an ordinary poison, with the ability of the shadow priest, once the self-healing technique was triggered, the body would instinctively detoxify. However, what he encountered this time was not poison, so the self-healing technique was not triggered.
Under this extreme itching, he could only forcefully activate the healing technique, then hurriedly picked up the water bag and drank water, hoping to relieve the uncomfortable feeling.
But he didn't expect that after drinking the water, he felt as if countless ants were crawling in his internal organs, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort came from inside his body.
The dark priest was tortured by this strange itch and his tears and nose were uncontrollable. He began to scratch his ears and cheeks and rolled on the ground.
In this state, it was almost impossible for him to practice a single move or chant a spell, which meant he had lost his combat effectiveness.
His mind was in a mess, and he knew that he was being ambushed. He struggled to stand up, but his body refused to obey him. The increasingly strong itching made him laugh wildly, and he completely lost his usual calmness and dignity.
Senior Crow saw the dark priest rolling on the ground, and there was no mercy in his eyes. He rushed forward quickly, the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, and cut the tendons of the dark priest's hands and feet without hesitation.
Although the dark priest was still laughing wildly, there was a hint of despair in his eyes. He knew that he had been exposed and the other party was obviously coming for him.
This extremely itchy medicine could not be resolved by the healing and dispelling spells that he was good at. For a priest, this was simply a nightmare.
At this moment, he was completely unable to fight back and could only allow the other party to do whatever he wanted like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Senior Crow did not stop there, he took out a particularly sharp and long dagger from his body. This dagger flashed a cold light in the dark night, as if foreshadowing the fate of the shadow priest.
Senior Crow's eyes were cold, and he accurately stabbed the dagger into the dark priest's lower abdomen. The dark priest, who had been laughing wildly because of the itch, died of pain after suffering this severe blow and lost consciousness.
At this time, Kashin appeared with a hard bow in his hand. During the whole process, he remained highly alert to prevent any unexpected situation. His eyes were like eagle eyes, closely watching the movements of the dark priest...
"Viscount Kashen, it's done. The inner elixir must be broken. It should be similar to the inner elixir part of the monster!"
Senior Crow looked at the dark priest lying on the ground, wiped the dagger in his hand, and said to Kashen.
Kashin looked at the scene in front of him, nodded slightly, and smiled: "It's about the same! Among living creatures, humans are also one of the beasts, so the physiological structure is similar.
Let's take him to the jungle, find a secluded place, wake him up and interrogate him, and see if we can get some useful information out of him."
Kashen knew that this shadow priest might hold a lot of key information, which was crucial to solving the mystery behind it.
