I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 689 - 486 Extremely Brutal!_2

"Ka-cha!"

The thick iron door behind them slowly closed shut.

You had to admit, this scene really maxed out the sense of oppression!

The iron door's entrance was still rather spacious, kind of with a "suburban edge" feel, buildings neither too tall nor too densely packed.

Even though it was a deep winter night, everyone's visibility within the streets was still guaranteed.

Because high above in the distant sky, that arrow that could burn all to ashes was providing a fiery glow for the Third District.

Lin Shihao spoke: "There's not much cold qi here, at least it hasn't formed fully."

You know, even the first layer of the Bottomless Pit has gray mist visible to the naked eye.

"Zzzz~ zz~"

Very abruptly, purple arcs of electricity flashed through Liu Juncai's beautiful eyes.

This was the Demon Skill from the Electric-type Demon Beast, Lightning Cat—Purple Lightning Beam!

Strictly speaking, this was an Output Skill.

Du Yu and the others had all seen Lightning Cat shoot fierce purple electricity from its cat's eyes before.

But once one mastered this type of Demon Skill, even at the charge-up stage, it could grant the Demon Tamer "Night Vision."

Liu Juncai scanned the surroundings warily, then spoke: "Brother Xing, try absorbing it."

Liu Junxing looked serious; after more than ten seconds, he replied, "There's really not much cold qi, I can't absorb any.

And the Demon Breath is also quite thin.

If we get closer to Cold Ashen Arrow, maybe the Fire Demon Breath would be denser?"

Liu Juncai mused, "The closer to the city center, the closer to the Bottomless Pit area, and naturally, it's more dangerous."

If this battlefield is a true simulation,

those missing soldiers should've been scattered in the more dangerous areas."

Lin Shihao made a quick decision: "Then let's search as we go, heading toward the city center."

Let's keep from summoning any Demon Beasts for now—the target's too big, might attract Cold Beasts."

"They're already here," Du Yu suddenly spoke up.

"Hm?" Liu Juncai looked a bit astonished.

She followed Du Yu's line of sight, turning to look.

It was a four-story mud-brick office building, looking run-down in the bonfire glow of the night sky.

Lin Shihao hurriedly asked, "What's up with that building?"

Du Yu: "Third floor, Wind Witch Doll... uh, Celestial Level Wind Mage."

Everyone: ???

For real?

What even is that eyesight of yours?

Liu Juncai was even more stunned. With the help of the purple arcs in her eyes, she double-checked in detail.

The next moment, Liu Juncai's eyes widened slightly: "That half head poking out?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This...

This wasn't just a Night Vision issue anymore!

This was another tier, a "sharp eyes" problem!

Du Yu's eyesight was this sharp?

And what Demon Skill was he using? Why was there no visible effect?

Du Yu: "Yeah, it's staring right at us."

Liu Juncai didn't feel frustrated—on the contrary, she was delighted!

Her eyes, flickering with electric current, looked toward Du Yu's profile: "You hiding a high-level bird-type Demon Beast inside you?"

Wait, that can't be!

Liu Juncai knew all of Du Yu's Demon Pets—none were this type of support.

Liu Junxing frowned, electric arcs flashing through his eyes too.

"It's flying out," Du Yu tilted his head slightly, indicating toward the front left with his chin.

"Brother Xing," Liu Juncai commanded.

Liu Junxing swung his blade forward—and actually threw out an Electric Little Star?

Mortal Level Electric Little Star: just a blue-purple, leather-skinned, five-pointed star.

Each time it leveled up, it gained a rotating mini-star "escort" orbiting its body.

This time, there were three blue-violet electricity forged escort mini-stars, swirling around Electric Little Star, clearly showing its Spirit-level Divine Beast status.

"Whoosh~"

Electric Little Star spun forward at lightning speed, crackling, arcs of electricity flickering.

Xuan Platinum · Electric Star Spin!

From afar, everyone could now see the Wind Mage's true face—those blood-red eyes were especially intimidating.

"Tssssss..."

Poor Celestial Level Wind Mage got straight up pierced by Electric Little Star, its Demon Breath Battle Robe torn apart along with the white cloak.

In a flash, the Cold Beast · Wind Mage met a sudden and violent end.

Tattered cloth fluttered down, then dissolved into pure energy, gathering into a Demon Crystal and dropping below.

"Nice," Liu Juncai whispered—not praising Electric Little Star.

With Du Yu's sharp eye, who'd worry about finding allies or enemies?

"Conserve Demon Breath, Brother Xing." The electricity faded from Liu Juncai's eyes as she gave a new order. "Du Yu, you're on recon duty."

If you notice anything, report immediately."

"It's all discoveries." Du Yu's face didn't look too good.

Liu Juncai: "What?"

Du Yu's eyes moved constantly, scanning left and right, up and down: "Second floor, fourth window in the office building—Ghost Skull.

Front left street corner—Water Charm Illusion Spirit, four fingers sticking out.

Next street, on the roof of the two-story shop building, an Evil Soul Cat just landed."

The barrage of info stunned them all!

Seeing Ghost Skull, that alone would be impressive.

But what's this about Water Charm Illusion Spirit's four fingers sticking out?

Also, that Evil Soul Cat—so tiny, black as coal, you actually spotted it too?

Lin Shihao's voice trembled: "Du Yu."

Du Yu: "Yeah?"

Lin Shihao: "You're my god!"

Du Yu: "..."

God, my ass—at most this king is a big daddy~

That said, Lin Shihao's excitement was entirely understandable.

Such a perilous battle zone, danger everywhere and life on the line at any moment!

Everyone had been pretending calm this whole time, but the fear and anxiety inside was impossible to avoid.

In this moment, Lin Shihao was just over the moon!

This is what you call an immortal teammate!

Lin Shihao: "Brother Xing, go—take care of the Water Charm Illusion Spirit first."

"Let me do it. There are a lot of Cold Beasts nearby, any fight will draw more hunters," Du Yu said, secretly relieved.

Just now, Electric Little Star's sparks and flashes made quite a noise.

Thankfully, it was an instant kill—so no big follow-up commotion.

Liu Junxing glanced at Liu Juncai, seeing his cousin nod slightly, he said nothing more.

Du Yu called out in his mind: "Baojun, Baojun?"

"Mmm..." The lazy Shasha voice replied from the Contract—clearly just woken.

"Wake up, it's kill time."

"Oh?" The Desolate Silver Lynx instantly perked up.

"Don't come out yet," Du Yu squatted down, "Go straight into the ground. I'll feed you visuals."

"We'll assassinate the enemies quietly—best if there's not even a sound."

"Mm." The Desolate Silver Lynx murmured softly in response.

Du Yu swept behind his back, sending something down below.

Dense Demon Breath rapidly gathered. Everyone's vision blurred—then the mighty beast dove into the earth.

Du Yu watched the distant street corner, and saw the four pale fingers of Water Charm Illusion Spirit still clinging to the wall.

Those sharp, long fingernails made Du Yu feel all sorts of uncomfortable!

So pitch-black—digging in the ground or what?

In the Underworld, Lord Baojun glided forward in silence, only the very tip of his tail poking above the surface.

Through Du Yu's vision, Baojun identified his position and headed straight for the street corner.

Suddenly, Water Charm Illusion Spirit flickered into the open, its swaying figure clear in the firelight for all to see!

It looked kind of like a male soldier?

Blood-red eyes, eerily strange.

"Wuuu~ wuuu..." The male soldier sobbed again and again, as if sensing something.

His crying stopped abruptly. Suddenly, he looked down—to see a silver long tail shooting out from the earth!

"Swish!"

The long tail, like a silver snake, instantly coiled and wrapped up Water Charm Illusion Spirit's tall body.

"Ah..." Water Charm Illusion Spirit just barely shrieked—and fell silent!

Cold Jade · Gallows Tail!

A full six meters of silver tail shredded Water Charm Illusion Spirit's Demon Breath Battle Robe in a flash!

Not just that—the Silver Tail's constriction literally broke the body in two!

Du Yu tilted his head a bit, issuing commands in his mind.

The long Silver Tail left several snapped bones behind, then quietly slithered back into the ground.

"Gulp." Lin Shihao's Adam's apple bobbed.

If Water Charm Illusion Spirit had stayed in the street corner, it would've been fine.

The key was—it came out!

As a result, the entire brief death of Water Charm Illusion Spirit, they all saw with their own eyes.

Back in the café a few days ago, everything Lin Du said, Lin Shihao now fully believed!

Du Yu had said, his lynx was born for slaughter!

Lin Shiwei had said, don't worry, a lynx is far more vicious than you imagine.

Damn!

Battle zone too deadly? Cold Beasts too fierce?

Why do I feel like the most dangerous thing is Du Yu right next to me…
