I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 657 - 464 Clever Death God

At the entrance of the leafy corridor, a four-person squad paused in their tracks.

The team's headlamps, night lanterns, and other lighting gear were fully equipped—it was obvious they had come prepared.

"Te... Teacher Gong?" one of the young men asked stiffly, turning his head to look behind him.

Hearing the piercing howls echoing up from below, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The only girl in the team whispered, "Is that the Evil Soul Cat's cry?"

The young man voiced his own worry too: "That sound, and that presence... It might be Spirit Level, maybe even General Level?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In the rear, Gong Cheng's gaze was icy cold as he looked at the students. "Keep moving forward. Head down!"

The young man complained inwardly, exchanging a glance with his teammate, but could only carefully step onto the "single-log bridge" that traced along the trees.

To these students, Gong Cheng was far more terrifying than any Cold Beast in the Bottomless Pit…

That sinister, venomous voice of Gong Cheng rang out again from behind, making their hairs stand on end: "Allocate your Demon Breath wisely, plan each Demon Pet's combat time.

We're staying on the battlefield for the full 36 hours.

If you run out of Demon Breath beforehand, I'm not hauling your corpses out!"

"Te... Elder Gong…"

Gong Cheng's expression turned even colder, his voice dropping low: "What do you mean, Gong! Get in there. Kill!"

The young man gave a violent shiver, gripping the Night Fire Cage tightly and creeping forward.

"Meow!!!"

Down below, another ear-piercing screech echoed up, scaring everyone out of their wits.

What the group didn't know was, this noise didn't come from the Celestial Treasure Race·Evil Soul Cat.

Instead, it belonged to a ferocious lynx.

"Slow down, Baojun, you could at least let up a little." Du Yu sat atop the Twin Desolate Lynx's head, chasing after the "Meow Meow Death God."

"Whoosh~" Sand and dust swirled up again, wrapping around the Evil Soul Dog's bloody body.

"Mm." Baojun stomped a paw down on a Demon Crystal, ready to leave it for her master, to take back and sell for cash.

Meanwhile, Du Yu summoned the Shadow Gu Tower and began extracting the Evil Soul Dog's Demon Soul.

This was what you called full-service, start to finish.

From flesh and bones, to the Demon Crystal in the skull, all the way to the Demon Soul itself.

This Evil Soul Dog had died so utterly clean…

"Slow down, I can't even keep up with the soul extraction!" Du Yu lay sprawled on top of the Twin Desolate Lynx's head, Shadow Gu Tower in hand, reaching downwards.

"Awooo! Awooo~~~" The Evil Soul Dog gave a pitiful, shrill wail, its Demon Soul wisps with nowhere to hide.

The Twin Desolate Lynx extended its long tail, scooping up the huge Demon Crystal under Baojun's paw and tossing it up onto its back.

"Eee!" Xiaoyan used her tail to gather up the soccer-ball-sized Demon Crystal, looking troubled deep down.

Her charming, alluring voice sounded a bit aggrieved: "Du Yu~"

"What's up?" Du Yu turned his head and looked over.

He saw Xiaoyan's four long tails trying to gather up five soccer-sized Demon Crystals, and already struggling to hold them all in.

The Twin Desolate Lynx's back was wide, and if they just moved forward steadily it'd be fine.

But on the battlefield, the Twin Desolate Lynx would naturally jump and dash all around—there was no way to keep the Demon Crystals stable.

"Here's what we'll do." Du Yu thought for a second, stretching a hand backward.

"Eeh?" With a surge of thick Demon Breath, Little Tai Sui plopped his butt down on the Twin Desolate Lynx's back.

He blinked his jet-black little eyes, looking around in confusion.

"Don't absorb the Cold Qi, Tai Sui," Du Yu hurriedly reminded him. "Summon your Hollow Bamboo Shoot and stuff all these Demon Crystals inside."

"Eee!" Little Tai Sui spread open his arms.

Xuan Platinum·Hollow Bamboo Shoot!

In an instant, a chubby, pale Hollow Bamboo Shoot bloomed atop the Twin Desolate Lynx's back.

The Hollow Bamboo Shoot was a full two meters tall, and looked exactly like a giant school backpack.

A fox and a panda dumped Demon Crystals into the shoot, which then gently closed, snuggled tightly in Little Tai Sui's arms.

"Hehe, nice!" Du Yu kept nodding, secretly impressed with Little Tai Sui's spiritual nature.

Actually, Du Yu could just stash the Demon Crystals in the Mountain Realm or Sea Realm for max convenience.

But he still didn't really want to let that kind of thing pollute his worlds.

Might as well summon Tai Sui too, let the kid get used to the battlefield.

It's not like Tai Sui needed to fight—just following after Sister Baojun and collecting Demon Crystals was enough.

Once Du Yu shared the idea, Little Tai Sui nodded and "eee"-ed in response.

"Eee~" At last Xiaoyan was freed, leaping up onto Du Yu's head in a flash.

Just a few meters ahead, Lord Baojun held her head high, looking every bit the ruler of the world.

Her long tail was still wrapped around a thirty-meter-long Lion Bone Scythe.

Whenever she swished her tail from side to side, that razor-sharp scythe blade made a series of whooshing, air-splitting sounds.

Baojun was savage, the Bone Scythe ferocious.

This lynx and this scythe blade had truly found soulmates!

"Baojun, have the Twin Desolate Lynx's tail keep Tai Sui steady," Du Yu called, "Little Tai Sui's got short legs, not stable sitting up there."

Little Tai Sui: "..."

Little Tai Sui wasn't short at all, he was a full two meters tall!

But, for a panda, being two meters tall didn't stop him from having stubby little legs…

"Meow~" The Twin Desolate Lynx dutifully extended its long silver tail, curling both Little Tai Sui and the Hollow Bamboo Shoot up nice and tight.

A funny thought: the Hollow Bamboo Shoot riding on the Twin Desolate Lynx's back kind of looked like those delivery boxes on electric scooters?

If Du Yu was willing to put on the yellow rider's vest, he could just ride the big cat to deliver food~

Honestly, riding a monstrosity like this, who'd dare steal your delivery?

Gradually, a soft shasha sound thread drifted into Du Yu's mind: "Eyes."

Du Yu: ???

Not only did she not call him "Master" anymore, now not even "Du Yu"?

Had His Majesty already fallen so far, to just being a glorified tool…

Then, Du Yu felt a blur before his eyes, as the Desolate Silver Lynx made a graceful leap down.

She landed on a giant tree, sashaying with feline steps right to the Twin Desolate Lynx.

The Twin Desolate Lynx dipped its head in humility, almost in abject obedience, and presented Du Yu—who'd been riding on its head—right up to Baojun.

The Desolate Silver Lynx's pair of ferocious beast eyes glowed with a ghostly light, enough to get into your soul.

And her aura of violent savagery gusted at Du Yu's face!

She flicked out her tongue, gently tapping Du Yu's cheek: "Eyes. Du Yu, be my eyes."

For once, her voice softened a little, her tone smoothing over.

But Du Yu could feel her boiling killing intent, that violent nature was completely unchecked.

The Lion Bone Scythe's presence had truly unleashed her inner demon.

This new toy—she'd clearly never get tired of playing with it…

"Kill all you want, but you two—neither of you is to absorb any Cold Qi, got it?" Du Yu reminded them again.

"Vmmm." The Lion Bone Scythe gave a faint buzz in answer.

The Desolate Silver Lynx shoved Du Yu in annoyance, knocking him back onto her furry head.

Du Yu's eyes glowed faint red, and the Desolate Silver Lynx immediately saw the battlefield above.

Du Yu propped himself up: "Lion Bone Scythe, use your Demon Breath sparingly. If we run out, we go home!"

"Shoo~"

The Desolate Silver Lynx leapt upward, pouncing toward the enemy up high.

If Burning Sun Joy Garden was the Ten Thousand Plants Garden,

then Baojun's Joy Garden was this infamous Bottomless Pit!

Six, twelve, twenty-four…

The number of Demon Crystals in the Hollow Bamboo Shoot grew and grew.

If one bamboo shoot filled up, then summon another Hollow Bamboo Shoot.

With Du Yu's eyes assisting, the Desolate Silver Lynx rampaged wildly in the dark, chaotic warzone.

The Lion Bone Scythe only added to the butchery, its blade edge tearing everything apart.

When the Desolate Silver Lynx and Lion Bone Scythe smashed a Demon General·Red Mud Fire Stove to pieces…

Du Yu, watching this bloodthirsty lynx and her blade, could already picture their future forms.

This was the real Godslayer of the battlefield,

the true tip of the spear that takes the enemy general's head among thousands!

"Alright, you two, that's enough." Du Yu called out, forced to put a stop to the carnage.

For one thing, the Bottomless Pit's Cold Qi was too dense—the longer they lingered, the easier it was to mess up.

At this point, the two were clearly high on the slaughter—if the Cold Qi seeped in, the cost wasn't worth it.

For another, Lion Bone Scythe wasn't exactly rational, going way too wild, burning through far too much Demon Breath.

For a weapon fallen from the altar, the Lion Bone Scythe clearly hadn't adapted to being "Cold Jade·Lion Bone Scythe" yet, firing up Demon Soldier Arrays all the damn time.

The Desolate Silver Lynx had started to channel her own Demon Breath, lending it to the Lion Bone Scythe for use.

"I haven't killed enough." The Desolate Silver Lynx's voice sounded in his mind.

The murderous tone made Du Yu click his tongue inwardly.

Faced with such a ferocious beast, in the bloodlust zone, Du Yu even worried the Desolate Silver Lynx might turn on her master!

"Come on, Baojun," Du Yu steadied himself and called out.

"Crunch!"

The Desolate Silver Lynx savagely crunched an Electric Little Star in her jaws.

With a light jump, she landed in front of the Twin Desolate Lynx and spat out an Earth-level Demon Crystal.

Little Tai Sui lifted a panda paw, expertly intercepted the Demon Crystal with his stick, and knocked the tiny crystal into the Hollow Bamboo Shoot.

"Time to head back, Baojun." Du Yu wrapped his arms around the brutal beast's head.

He could feel the Desolate Silver Lynx's breathing getting heavier and rougher.

At this rate, how could she not draw in the Cold Qi?

Breathing was fine, of course.

The problem was: if she slipped up even a little, and accidentally took in energy, she could be overwhelmed by Cold Qi in an instant!

Du Yu gently said, "Let's call this a warm-up. Next time, we'll really let loose, okay?"

A single ferocious slit pupil stared tight at Du Yu, silent.

Du Yu rubbed the big cat's face. "You know I'm right, you can feel it, right?

Keep killing like this, and you'll be lost forever in the Bottomless."

"Eee!" Xiaoyan cried, trying to persuade Sister Baojun.

Du Yu drifted up before the slit pupil, busting out his secret weapon.

He leaned forward slightly, gently pressing his lips to the killing-intent-boiling eye.

"Meow." The Desolate Silver Lynx lowered her eyes a little, her stubborn expression plain.

"Good girl, listen to me." Du Yu relaxed inside.

He knew full well—in this state, for the Desolate Silver Lynx to obey required enormous willpower and immense forbearance.

The Desolate Silver Lynx was fighting her own nature, after all.

Even the Human Race, when caught in a blood frenzy, could lose control and all reason—how much truer for true beasts?

For the Desolate Silver Lynx, Du Yu was all gentle words, but for the Lion Bone Scythe…

He just ordered flatly: "Heading back, Lion Bone Scythe. Next time."

"Vmmm." The Lion Bone Scythe hummed softly, even more obedient than the Silver Lynx.

Of course, the Lion Bone Scythe didn't want to leave either, but it didn't have the Desolate Silver Lynx's backing.

It knew full well it had no right to get willful, and was crystal-clear on its place.

Du Yu was quite satisfied deep down, and rubbed the big cat's face again. "On the way back, I'll let you whack a few more, how about that?"

"Meow~" Suddenly, the Desolate Silver Lynx grabbed Du Yu in her mouth, biting him—not hard, but enough to leave a mark.

The coppery taste of blood filled her mouth, making Xiaoyan's little head buzz…

"Let's go, let's go!" Du Yu scrambled out of the bloody maw.

The Lion Bone Scythe, impressively sharp-eyed, flew straight upward, dragging Baojun along behind it.

Clearly, the Lion Bone Scythe had given the Desolate Silver Lynx a new ability: flight.

In the future, on the battlefield, this "Desolate Silver Lynx–Lion Bone Scythe" duo would surely unleash unimaginable power!

Under Du Yu's orders and calming aura, their whole group started heading up and out.

The road back to the city was a lot easier—didn't take them long at all.

Until Du Yu saw a burly soldier roaring in rage and charging at a pack of young people…
