I Have a Golden Crow

Two days later, at nightfall.

The sky, shrouded in haze, was pouring a fine rain; but it was not naturally formed rain, rather a Demon Skill—Wolf Lake Celestial Wail.

Just like the snow-white crows flying in the night forest, they were not survivors of this apocalyptic world, but rather a Demon Skill—Layered Violent Shadows.

Without the help of Celestial Cyan Porcelain, Fu Jianzhou contributed Flower Dan and Qing Yi.

The two Wolf Lake Dogs were each ridden by Fu Jianzhou and Jiang Feng, walking on the left and right sides at the front of the team.

Additionally, three snow-white Dust Spirit Deer followed slowly behind the giant wolves.

Whether it was the completely cyan-colored, extraordinarily beautiful Wolf Lake Dogs, or the completely white, gracefully immortal Beautiful Immortal Deer, they clashed with the gloomy world.

It was as if every second spent here would add another tarnish from this filthy world.

Only Flower Dan, with its body covered in demonic patterns and wolf eyes of deep red, unexpectedly matched the aura of the Ashen World.

The forest was silent, all sounds extinguished.

The atmosphere of dead silence spread to the squad; throughout the journey, everyone was silent, speaking only when battling Cold Beasts.

"Master Qing." Fu Jianzhou suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"What?" Yang Qingqing sat atop Bai Yujing’s back, seated behind Du Yu, positioned at the center of the entire team.

Fu Jianzhou said solemnly, "Qing Yi has discovered traces of bamboo."

The words immediately stirred the spirits of everyone.

Could this be the former home of the Chi Bear?

In the past two days, the group had seen some bamboo woods, proving that bamboo’s life force is truly tenacious!

Even in this desolate world, even with the constant threat of Cold Beasts, clusters of bamboo wood still thrive in various corners of the forest.

"Bamboo forest... it’s a bamboo forest!" Fu Jianzhou’s voice held a hint of excitement.

As the group continued forward, the perceptual range of the rain also advanced.

Fu Jianzhou raised his hand and turned on the night vision device on his face.

On this journey, naturally, everyone was fully armed.

But among them, only Fu Jianzhou and Lin Shiwei required night vision devices.

Lin Shiwei’s Ghost Yingluo is Spirit Level Peak, and the Fire Ghost Skull within it has yet to learn Fire Ghost’s Eye.

Fu Jianzhou, on the other hand, had no pupil techniques.

In fact, before Yang Qingqing contracted with the Sorrow Seabird, she didn’t have any pupil techniques either.

Was the situation really like that?

Of course not!

As former Demon Spirit Soldiers, Yang Qingqing and Fu Jianzhou, along with Jiang Feng, all had the same Demon Pet—a Summer Nightingale.

Just later...

It’s a long story, but not difficult to tell.

Joyful encounters, tragic farewells.

Yang Qingqing once had a Dream Dance Flame Butterfly; after its beautiful departure, did she contract another Dream Dance Flame Butterfly?

She also once had a Wind Trace Steed; after the Ghostly Horse’s soul scattered, did she contract another Wind Trace Steed clan?

No, she didn’t.

The emotions a Demon Tamer has for a Demon Pet are complex and difficult to express in a few words.

The Summer Nightingale was wonderful in many ways, its night vision and clear song soothing, its Wind Dance accompanying flights.

But neither Yang Qingqing nor Fu Jianzhou could contract a Summer Nightingale anymore.

Perhaps afraid that seeing the same creature in their Acupoint Homes would cause them to become disoriented.

Just like Jiang Feng, who at the age of sixteen lost a Fire Orange Pig and Celestial Flash Butterfly, she switched entirely to Earth Element Demon Pets.

No longer daring to contract, or perhaps, afraid to face them again.

"Little Grass, Master." The ethereal and sweet voice simultaneously echoed in Qing and Yu’s minds.

"Hmm?" Du Yu looked down, "What little grass?"

"Alive, little grass." Bai Yujing lowered her deer head, gently touching the inconspicuous grasses on the forest floor with her lips.

By "alive," she meant life in terms of Demonic Plant.

If it were ordinary flora, Bai Yujing wouldn’t specifically point it out.

As the team continued advancing, Bai Lu and Yiren behind them also gave similar feedback to their riders.

Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan were somewhat surprised, looking down.

Li Mengnan’s night vision ability comes from Demon General Violent Shadow Crow’s Demon Skill—Violent Shadow Crow Eye.

At this moment, her eyes emitted a faint glow.

Night vision ability is incidental to Violent Shadow Crow Eye; its true effect is to launch a psychic attack on the target, blurring their vision.

The effect of this Demon Skill... well, hard to explain in a few words.

Even if an enemy falls victim to it, the effect doesn’t last long; Cold Jade Quality pupil technique only disrupts the opponent for 5 seconds.

And even if their vision is blurry, the enemy isn’t blind, still able to follow your movements.

"Master Qing, Yiren says the grass under our feet is a Demonic Plant!" Li Mengnan reminded, speaking up.

With those words, Flower Dan and Qing Yi at the front of the team were suddenly bewildered.

The two Wolf Lake Dogs had long walked over the grass, but hadn’t detected anything unusual.

While the three Dust Spirit Deer undeniably taught the Wolf Lake Dog clan a lesson.

The grass appeared grayish-green, merely ten centimeters tall, extremely inconspicuous, with no trace of Demon Breath within the leaves.

Yang Qingqing, using the Sea of Sorrow Eyes, scanned the surrounding forest: "All this grass is alive?"

Bai Yujing: "Yes, all of it is."

Yang Qingqing’s heart sank: "Everyone, retreat!"

The group swiftly retreated, quickly exiting the range of the grass.

In the pitch-black forest, there was deathly silence.

The grass remained as silent as normal weeds.

"Burn..." Du Yu hesitated for a moment, "Kui Chou, the Supreme?"

Kui Chou emerged leisurely from its acupoint: "What’s the matter?"
