I Have a Golden Crow

It was night when everyone flew to Ganjiang Province, Xunyang City.

The reason for choosing this location was naturally because it had ample sunshine, warm climate, and widespread bamboo and wood distribution.

Master Qing had already contacted the location earlier, which was ten kilometers south outside Xunyang City, where a rather famous bamboo garden stood.

However, regardless of what it was called before, after tonight, it will be named "Bamboo Ring Snake Garden."

Everyone stayed up all night extracting snakes from seals, and Du Yu also stayed up grilling snakes, planting fire attributes for Pure Wood Attribute Demon Beasts to serve as many Human Race Demon Tamers as possible.

They worked tirelessly through the night, and with the help of the Demon Spirit Squad, finally established a prototype of the Demon Spirit Realm.

What’s left is to add some Wood Attribute Demonic Plants to the bamboo garden, including further reasonable planning of the Snake Race territory, and raising Bamboo Snake Race, among other matters.

These things don’t require Du Yu’s concern.

As Master Qing was interested, he suggested visiting the Bamboo Snake Saint.

Yang Qingqing watched the busy workers from the bookstore and the soldiers of the squad in the garden, knowing that the snake garden was on the right track, she gladly agreed.

She left Li Jing to oversee the snake garden, and led the rest of the disciples into the General’s Seal.

Regarding the meeting with the Demon Saint, all the disciples were exceptionally vigilant.

After all, the opponent is a Demon Saint!

One of the top combat powers in the Demon Taming World.

Of course, above Demon Saints there are Supreme Saints, but this level is too rare to count.

The world’s Supreme Saints are indeed rare, and each is elusive, never showing themselves.

Even if an ordinary person reincarnates for three lifetimes, they might never see one.

But strangely, while the world can’t see Supreme Saints, Du Yu has several beside him.

Oh~

It’s really frustrating!

"Clop clop clop~"

"Clop." On the wide land outside the bamboo forest, Flying Steeds and Dust Spirit Deer galloped tirelessly.

"Master Qing." Li Mengnan urged Yiren, chasing beside Bai Yujing, greeting the Immortal Master respectfully.

"Mhm." Yang Qingqing sat sideways behind Du Yu, one hand pressed on her long hair floating sideways, looking extraordinarily beautiful.

After greeting her master, Li Mengnan then looked at Du Yu, asking, "How’s Fire LuLu?"

A week ago, when the girl reported to the bureau, Du Yu contracted her Fire LuLu, intending to help the Godslayer unlock the Ancient Body.

Du Yu shook his head: "I don’t know."

Li Mengnan pouted: "Silly Du Yu, just check for me."

"No, I can’t meet Fire LuLu, I must avoid forming any emotional bonds with it." Du Yu resolutely shook his head.

Li Mengnan didn’t mind, even if she summoned Fire LuLu daily, Du Yu could freely command her Piggy.

The relationship between the three members of the Yan Organization and their respective Demon Pets was very good.

But the girl wasn’t aware of the qualitative difference between the two matters.

Fire LuLu came to Du Yu’s body for enhancement; ultimately, this fat pig will return to its owner’s embrace.

Hongye also once came to Du Yu’s body to enhance, both parties made it clear before the contract that it was just enhancement.

But now, look at Hongye, what’s it like?

Calling him "Master" with full sense of belonging.

Du Yu fully understands his own allure!

Especially for Fire-type Demon Pets, Du Yu is practically an "Enchanting Demon."

He possesses a Pure Fire Body, and also the Fire Attribute Venerable·Golden Crow Saint, along with the Ancient Spiritual Artifact·Shadow Gu Tower, and there’s even a Demon Fire inside him!

What Fire Element Demon Pet wouldn’t be mesmerized?

In this matter, one can’t be careless.

"Oh." Li Mengnan pouted, responding softly.

"Why?" Du Yu smiled at the somewhat disappointed girl, "Are you afraid since we’re going to meet the Snake Saint without your Godslayer by your side?"

"Why would I be afraid?" Li Mengnan was immediately displeased, giving Du Yu a sidelong glance, "With you... uh, with Master Qing here, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Haha." Yang Qingqing was evidently in a good mood, looking at the beautiful girl, "Speak openly."

"Hehe." Li Mengnan laughed with embarrassment.

The silly grin was quite unmatched with her extremely beautiful face.

Du Yu suddenly blurted out, "Right! Speak openly, praise me! Master Qing loves to hear that~"

Yang Qingqing: ???

Li Mengnan looked at Master Qing’s expression and couldn’t help but think to herself: Do you think I am truly foolish?

"With Master Qing here, I am not afraid!" Li Mengnan said proudly, with an air of confidence.

Du Yu pouted.

A sudden hand landed on Du Yu’s shoulder, a cool voice came from behind: "You’ve developed some skills, daring to joke even with your teacher."

Du Yu’s expression immediately stiffened!

Lately, I have indeed been in high spirits, getting a bit carried away.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing suddenly changed his tone: "That’s quite accurate."

Yang Qingqing didn’t hide her admiration and proud love for her disciple.

Du Yu felt a huge relief in his heart: "Master Qing is indeed magnanimous!"

"What?" Yang Qingqing said softly, "You want to lead the way?"

Du Yu was taken aback: "Ah? I didn’t... I’m fine either way."

Resigned, Du Yu flipped down from the deer, but a problem occurred!

How fast does the Dust Spirit Deer run?

With what will Du Yu lead the way?

"Swish~"

Suddenly, softly fluttering clothing made a sound, Artifact Spirit·Black Mist Shiwei was draped in a black python robe, flying straight towards Du Yu.

Du Yu’s face lit up with joy, my Little Shiwei is still the best~

He dashed forward and, using force from his foot, leapt ahead.

Black Mist Shiwei was exceptionally spiritual, flying parallel with Du Yu, the sleek black body swiftly melding with Du Yu.

The inherently spiritual entity was not only the black python robe, but also Bai Yujing.

Xiaobai deliberately slowed down its speed, along with Bai Lu, Yiren, and the Flying Steed subtly slowing their pace.

Yang Qingqing naturally noticed this scene, feeling quite satisfied in her heart.

In the little details, she saw the unity and mutual care among the disciples.

Yang Qingqing was pleased to see this scene, feeling a bit of accomplishment in her heart.

"Clatter!"

The long tail end of the Black Python Robe fluttered, as Du Yu flew back to the Deer Head of Bai Yujing.

"Hehe~" Li Mengnan covered her mouth, snickering, making Du Yu uncomfortable.

"Almost there, the high mountain ahead," came Jiang Feng’s voice from behind.

She stood on the Flying Steed, located behind Fu Jianzhou, with a slender Bamboo Snake coiled around her body.

This was a Celestial Level Bamboo Snake, quite clever.

When the group was capturing snakes earlier, it was this snake that had vouched its merits to the group and exposed its boss’s lair.

With Senior Sister Jiang Feng’s reminder, except for Senior Brother Fu, everyone opened their Pupil Techniques.

Lin Shiwei’s Ghost Skull had already been promoted to General Level and began her second round of Demon Skill practice.

She and Jiang Feng both used the Fire Ghost Eyes.

Du Yu, Yang Qingqing, and Li Mengnan used Burning Sun, Sea of Sorrow, and Violent Shadow Crow Eye respectively.

Only poor Senior Brother Fu had no Pupil Technique at all.

Well... actually, this is quite good.

After all, there’s no need to see this world too clearly.

Mentally exhausting.

"Wow!" Du Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Are the bamboos on this mountain so tall?"

Yang Qingqing, with her "Peacock Eyes" opened wide, had lively thoughts: "This Bamboo Snake Saint, I am afraid, is over a hundred meters."

The two had once witnessed the Bamboo Snake Saint coiled inside a bamboo forest, using such bamboo size for comparison...

Fortunately, when Chi Ancestor passed the message via the bear earlier, he had indirectly informed the group that this snake was Demon Saint Level.

Otherwise, with such a grand body of the Snake Saint, it’s inevitable to let one’s imagination run wild.

"We’ll go from the air," Yang Qingqing ordered, "Jianzhou, locate the Snake Saint."

"Understood." Fu Jianzhou suddenly raised his head, letting out a wolf-like howl, "Woo~~~"

Human-Pet Combined Skill: Wolf Lake Celestial Wail!

The originally blue sky gradually gathered dark clouds.

"Du Yu," Yang Qingqing said, patting the deer back in front of her.

Du Yu steadily sat back on Bai Yujing, grabbing the collar of the Black Python Robe and tossing it toward General Lin not far away.

"The Snake Saint is located at the back mountain," Fu Jianzhou said, "The other side has already noticed us.

The Bamboo Snake Saint has an enormous body, but currently is in a coiled posture, and I can’t judge its specific size for the time being."

While speaking, the group had already flown over the bamboo forest.

"It noticed us?" Yang Qingqing frowned slightly, looking at the bamboo forest under the rain curtain, feeling a piece of silence without any movement from the wind or grass.

Fu Jianzhou said: "After getting drenched, the Snake Saint obviously raised its head."

"Hmm, express some goodwill," Yang Qingqing suggested.

"Yes," Fu Jianzhou wiped his right hand, and a white jade flute quietly appeared.

As the jade flute was placed horizontally at the mouth, Fu Jianzhou slowly closed his eyes, brewing emotions.

Du Yu was very curious about what tune Senior Brother would choose, as over the past few months, he had been humming some tunes with the senior master from time to time.

And when the flute music sounded, Du Yu’s heart surged with many memories.

Tenderness and yearning, Smoke Rain Jiangnan.

This tune seems to match the ambiance of the bamboo forest under the rain curtain?

Senior Brother Fu played "Jiangnan," attempting to open up the situation.

Everyone enjoyed listening,

While Du Yu had already started singing in his mind: Not knowing how to express our tenderness, we thought martyrdom was just an ancient rumor...

Wait!

What are these lyrics?

No feeling while singing usually, but today meeting the Demon Saint·Bamboo Snake, something feels off?

Du Yu looked at the misty Green Bamboo Grove, murmuring: The rain here turns into threads, wrapping us as we linger in this world...

Uh oh!

It seems His Majesty is going to fall here today!

Undeniably, the West Xia’s Flute had quite a noticeable effect.

The small bamboo trees around the mountain slowly showed some unusual activity.

A series of Bamboo Snakes disguised as bamboo seemed to give up their hunting behavior, transforming back from bamboo into snakes, quietly lying down to listen to the melodious and winding flute music.

The scene was bizarre, yet magnificent!

In Du Yu’s sight, the bamboo forest snapped and fell down.

Looking around, it turned out all were Bamboo Snakes!

"Tsk~" Du Yu secretly clicked his tongue, much thankful to Master Qing for letting the team proceed from the air.

If we charged into the bamboo forest head-on, an intense battle would be inevitable.

"Hiss!" A sharp hissing sound suddenly arose.

The Bamboo Snake Saint clearly realized the problem: its snake children and grandchildren were no longer hunting, and began to enjoy leisure time?

Some Bamboo Snakes even started to feel drowsy and peacefully rested.

This is unacceptable!

The enemy has invaded the doorstep, and you all sleep without a care?!

"Hiss!!!" An even sharper call echoed through the mountain forest, waking the snake children and grandchildren and giving everyone quite a shock.

In the rear mountain area, a huge Bamboo Snake head slowly emerged from the giant bamboo forest.

Those pitch-black eyes, with two green snake pupils, were extremely intimidating.

"Oh my god!" Du Yu gaped, looking at the green snake head with surprise.

What is this?

An Unyielding King?!

"Hiss!" The Bamboo Snake suddenly swung its head, and the bamboo leaves growing on the sides of its head scattered countless leaves.

Bamboo leaves flying like knives thickly and densely, covering the sky, and shooting toward the group!
