It's just a mere Funeral Crow, Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously at all.
Even in the Basic version of the Supernatural Invasion 1.0, it was among the weakest of the Evil Spirits.
Nevertheless, ordinary people still had no power to resist it.
Lin Yuan summoned the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo, with the same straightforward way of fighting.
Ox Head Armor Transformation, Horse-faced Horse Transformation.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan transformed entirely.
Looking at Lin Yuan donned in Ox Head Armor, with a warhorse underneath him.
The Little Fairy from the literary world didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
"Caw."
"Caw, caw."
The Funeral Crow continued to circle above the small courtyard, letting out its hoarse, eerie cries endlessly.
Obviously, the Funeral Crow also noticed Lin Yuan's presence.
It was somewhat cautious and didn't make a rash move.
The steed formed by Horse Face galloped in place, surprisingly taking flight, chasing after the Funeral Crow in the sky.
Among the Evil Spirits in the Supernatural Invasion 1.0, the Funeral Crow was one of the smarter ones.
So, when it saw Lin Yuan galloping towards it through the air, it didn't even think before spreading its wings to flee?
To flee?
Lin Yuan's Ghost Gate Tattoo was just one more Evil Spirit's Ghost Qi away from awakening.
How could he let the duck in his hand fly away?
The speed of the Funeral Crow's flight was swift, but Horse Face's speed was evidently more superior.
In merely two or three seconds, Horse Face ascended above the Funeral Crow, then stomped heavily on the Crow's wing.
"Crack!" A crisp sound occurred, the sound of bones snapping and muscles tearing.
Following that was a heartbreaking cawing, and the Funeral Crow plummeted, crashing heavily into the courtyard.
However, since it was an Evil Spirit after all, it had formidable vitality.
With its wing broken and a hard fall on the ground, it still flapped desperately, trying to take flight and escape again.
Lin Yuan leapt off his steed, wielding a pitchfork, and drove it through the Funeral Crow, giving it an ice-cold death.
After the Funeral Crow died, it transformed into pure Ghost Qi which was absorbed by the Ghost Gate Tattoo.
At this moment, Lin Yuan could clearly sense that he could summon the Ghost Gate Tattoo.
However, being in front of the Little Fairy from the literary world wasn't convenient, Lin Yuan decided to summon it after returning home, to see what powers the new tattoo held.
...
...
After killing the Funeral Crow, Lin Yuan retracted his tattoo.
"This..."
"What is this?" The Little Fairy from the literary world said with a face full of surprise.
Regarding this question, Lin Yuan didn't conceal the truth.
Because, it wasn't a secret.
Very soon, the officials would formally announce the existence of Life Pattern Masters with awakened tattoo abilities.
It was at that time they would be officially named Life Pattern Masters.
"The power of tattoos!"
"You should have it too, just that it hasn't awakened." As he spoke, Lin Yuan added regretfully: "Your father's tattoo was impressive too, but unfortunately, he died unexpectedly without it awakening."
At this moment, the Little Fairy of the literary world didn't have time to feel sorrow.
After knowing that tattoo abilities could awaken, she suddenly realized something, exclaiming: "You knew all this would happen all along, didn't you!"
"That's why you maxed out your credit card all of a sudden, taking various online loans, to have so many tattoos."
Before the supernatural invasion, both her father and she felt that Lin Yuan's actions were reckless and ridiculous.
Now, the Little Fairy from the literary world realized that the joke was on them!
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then answered: "You could say that!"
"If this disaster was a movie, I suppose I would be the protagonist in it."
As Lin Yuan said these words, he thought to himself that in most movies and novels, the one who was reincarnated would be the protagonist.
"Step, step." Hearing Lin Yuan say that, the Little Fairy from the literary world retreated two steps, seemingly frightened.
"I said I'm the protagonist, what are you scared of?" Lin Yuan asked puzzledly.
"I love binge-watching shows. I've seen all those Beautiful Country blockbusters, the people around the protagonist end up dying tragically in the end."
"No way, I must stay away from you!" The Little Fairy from the literary world declared justifiably.
Lin Yuan: "?????"
"Damn...," Lin Yuan was speechless, only able to concede that what she said indeed made a lot of sense.
After a few exchanges, the Little Fairy from the literary world found tools in the room, broke open the cement ground, and dug a pit to bury her father.
Then, she also found a piece of wood, setting up a grave marker for her father.
When someone dies, the tradition is to ensure they rest in peace, their roots returning to where they belong.
In this world, being buried in one's own backyard after death was already far better than many who ended up exposed in the wilderness.
For nearly two hours, the Little Fairy from the literary world busied herself with the burial of her father and finally sat down exhausted on the ground.
At this point, she didn't cry.
Perhaps she had cried all her tears out!
Throughout the process, Lin Yuan neither stepped forward to help nor offered comfort. He merely stood there, quietly watching.
Ensuring her father rested in peace was the only thing she could do, perhaps she didn't want Lin Yuan's help.
Despite her appearance as a rebel girl, she was quite filial indeed.
Seeing her finish burying her father, Lin Yuan spoke, "I have things to do, I must leave!"
"Take care of yourself." After saying this, Lin Yuan took strides towards the courtyard exit.
Just as Lin Yuan was approaching the courtyard gate, the Little Fairy from the literary world suddenly spoke, "Can..."
"Can you take me with you?"
For some reason, Lin Yuan unexpectedly cracked a joke: "I saved you from the well, I am your lifesaver!"
"Now, you want to go with me, do you intend on repaying me with yourself?"
Before the grave, the Little Fairy from the literary world stood there in a daze, seemingly at a loss for words.
Lin Yuan thought, although he was joking, there seemed to be a hint of taking advantage of the situation.
"I'm joking," Lin Yuan quickly corrected himself: "If you have a tattoo, I can take you with me."
"I, Lin Yuan, don't support freeloaders. If you have a tattoo, you could become my assistant!"
"I think, you might have one, right?"
Lin Yuan wasn't willing to bring along a burden.
But if there were a tattoo, especially a powerful one, that was a whole different story.
Having a powerful tattoo means that once you get past the initial stage when the tattoo hasn't awakened, you become an excellent ally.
And Lin Yuan could just barely help her through the initial stage when the tattoo hadn't awakened yet.
"A tattoo, I have one! I have one!" The Little Fairy from the literary world, as if seeing hope for survival, quickly responded.
In this disaster, survival was particularly difficult.
For a woman with no support, it was even more challenging to survive.
