I Have a Golden Crow

As it turned out, the Bamboo Snake clan really could repair the flesh-and-blood body of the Human Race.

And this Demon Skill, Bamboo Joint Body, is a Heavenly Level compatible Demon Skill, with a threshold that’s not too high.

Of course, casting this Demon Skill has relatively high requirements for humans.

First, you need to have the Wood Attribute.

But you can add a Fire Attribute as well, because Du Yu is very willing to help out, using Demon Fire to roast the snake~

Wouldn’t that make his merit skyrocket?

Second, you’ve got to be Fourth Level·Great Demon Tamer, so you can team up with your Demon Pet to cast the Demon Skill.

And when a Demon Skill is cast through a human, its Quality will be lowered by two Levels.

Which means Limb Regeneration will take a certain amount of time.

But that’s fine!

For wounded veterans, no matter how long the repair process takes, the wait is worth it!

Looking only at the result, on the seventh day after Du Yu and the others returned to the Twenty-Ninth Bureau, the officer’s severed arm was finally fully restored!

It was late at night, and Du Yu and the others were in the bureau cafeteria, having a special little cook-up and stuffing themselves.

A tall figure burst in, all excitement.

"Everyone! Everyone!" The man, in his mid-thirties, with dignified features, was named Sun Ce.

When Du Yu first heard the name, he thought he’d run into the Little Overlord of Jiangdong.

Then he thought about it and realized something was off—seems like the Little Overlord never made it to thirty...

Died in his twenties?

"What’s up, Brother Sun?" Du Yu asked, but seeing the wild joy on the man’s face, he already had a good guess in his heart.

"It’s whole!" Sun Ce strode over, wildly excited. "Completely healed!"

"Come sit, let me take a look." Fu Jianzhou put down his chopsticks and hurriedly beckoned him over.

In the past few days, Master Qing had already summoned all his disciples back to the Twenty-Ninth Bureau.

So at this dining table, aside from Master himself, all of his disciples were present.

They had just returned from inside the Military Seal, having spent another full day catching snakes. Dead tired, they’d come here to have a group meal.

"It’s done, totally done!" Sun Ce plopped down on the bench and laid his entire arm on the table.

Fu Jianzhou grabbed Sun Ce’s upper arm with one hand and gave it a firm but gentle squeeze.

"I can feel it, no problem!" Sun Ce nodded repeatedly, delight written all over his face; his eyes were even a little wet.

"Congratulations!" Li Mengnan flipped her chopsticks around and used the other end to pick up Sun Ce’s index finger, studying it curiously.

Sun Ce kept repeating the same line: "I can feel it, no problem!"

Li Mengnan blinked her beautiful big eyes and murmured, "There are vertical ridges on your nail; is your liver not doing so great?"

Sun Ce: "..."

"Pfft... hehe~"

"Hahaha!" Waves of laughter rang out, echoing through the big cafeteria.

At such an exhilarating moment, any joke at all sounded adorable to Sun Ce’s ears.

He didn’t mind at all. "It’ll get better. From now on... everything will get better."

These past years, after being discharged from the army due to his disability and never quite finding his feet, Sun Ce’s physical and mental state really hadn’t been great.

"Yeah, everything will get better." Du Yu lifted Sun Ce’s large hand, examining every little detail—lines, fine hairs, everything was there.

After a long look, Du Yu suddenly said, "Go grab some meat from the back kitchen, let’s reward our great hero."

The Bamboo Snake inside Sun Ce is a Spirit-level Divine Beast.

Brought in by Du Yu and the others with a bit of trickery.

Actually, "trickery" might be unfair—anyway, Du Yu promised the Bamboo Snake that as long as it was willing to help, it could have as much meat as it wanted!

No more standing around in a bamboo grove every day, waiting ten days to half a month and still not seeing a single Chi Bear.

It’s worth mentioning that when Du Yu made that offer, General Lin was in the middle of pinning the Bamboo Snake to the ground and beating it.

The Bamboo Snake was quite easy to talk to, kind-hearted, and happily agreed to everyone’s request...

"Hiss~"

With a series of hissing sounds, the nearly twenty-meter-long emerald green snake knit itself together and dropped onto the cafeteria’s concrete floor.

In an instant, the whole room filled with the fresh scent of bamboo and wood.

Like a damn air freshener...

"Hiss... hiss." The Bamboo Snake was about to call out twice when it suddenly spotted the demon team.

Especially that short-haired girl in the black trench coat!

The moment Lin Shiwei’s eyes met the snake’s pupils, the Bamboo Snake immediately lowered its flags and stilled its drums.

It drooped its head and lay properly on the floor, motionless, not daring to make a sound.

"I’ll feed it, Senior Sister." Lin Shiwei took the raw meat Jiang Feng handed over and walked up to the Bamboo Snake.

The Bamboo Snake’s body trembled slightly, and it even shrank back a bit.

Du Yu was genuinely shocked!

Snakes... have reverse gear?

"You did really well." Lin Shiwei crouched down, tore off a big chunk of meat, and held it out.

The Bamboo Snake cautiously flicked out its forked tongue and rolled the meat away.

"Thank you for helping for such a long time." Lin Shiwei patted its not-so-large snake head.

Actually, the Bamboo Snake wasn’t small at all; it was a good 25–26 cm thick, about the diameter of a basketball.

But since its body was nearly twenty meters long, overall it ended up being a "thin python."

Of course, this body type made it easier to mimic bamboo and hunt Chi Bears.

"Hiss~" The Bamboo Snake flicked its tongue and let out a soft call.

You had to admit, the Bamboo Snake really had worked hard. The process of repairing a human body is relatively slow, and the Bamboo Snake had to keep casting for long stretches, with very little time to rest.

Over the past seven days, the Bamboo Snake had wanted to give up many times.

It didn’t have any bond with Sun Ce.

They’d just been forcibly shoved together, pure and simple.
