I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 715 - 500 Spark Spread!

Du Yu had just climbed out the window when he was left dumbfounded.

Several kilometers away, the Ashen Arrow once again sparked with fire, and all around it was the massive Cold Beast Army drawn by the flames.

You could tell that the Ashen Arrow really valued promises.

It had been flickering on and off just as agreed with the Great Xia Army.

The problem was, there were far too many Cold Beasts around the Ashen Arrow, and they were all assaulting the arrow's body!

A dignified Holy Grade Demon Soldier, yet it was actually allowing these wretched creatures to wreak havoc without igniting a blaze to torch the Cold Beasts to ashes?

"Shua~"

The sky, which had brightened a little, turned dark again.

Strictly speaking, the Ashen Arrow hadn't gone out; it was still dutifully burning with faint wisps of flame.

But for that very reason, the Cold Beasts drawn to the light, like dense locusts, blanketed the entire arrow!

"My god." Du Yu was stunned.

Earlier, when Du Yu was rescuing that pair of soldiers in the school building, the female soldier had said: with the Cold Ashen Arrow's temperament, it would never tolerate such provocation from lowly pests.

And that had indeed been the case.

As soon as the female soldier finished speaking, the Cold Ashen Arrow had burst into its final blaze, burning everything around it to ashes.

But look at it now!

The Ashen Arrow wasn't just being provoked anymore.

A swarm of "locusts" as vast as the eye could see was clinging to its shaft, ripping and gnawing...

This was bullying, a humiliation taken to the extreme!

Du Yu called out in his head, "Ashes."

Ashen Arrow: "Hm?"

Du Yu looked out at the Ashen Arrow being consumed by the Cold Beast Army, feeling a pang in his heart: "Are you... are you alright?"

He desperately wanted to order the Ashen Arrow to burn them all away.

But doing so would, of course, have the Ashen Arrow go back on its word and violate the promise.

Ashen Arrow: "The Cold Beasts are gnawing on my body."

Du Yu opened his mouth: "You..."

Ashen Arrow: "You could speed it up and bring me the Demon Crystal."

"Okay!" Du Yu answered mentally, suddenly accelerating in flight.

Little Fen Yang: "Black Arrow Arrow is so pitiful~"

"Mm." Du Yu let out a heavy sigh inside.

Every living thing has its own temperament.

Du Yu and the Ashen Arrow had just bonded, and through these incidents, he was getting a feel for the Ashen Arrow's personality.

Values its promises?

It seemed that anything promised to the Ashen Arrow, big or small, had to be fulfilled!

The Ashen Arrow would rather endure humiliation than break its agreement—its promise. That spoke for itself.

The Ashen Arrow was clearly no two-faced mutt.

Since it held itself to such standards, naturally, it would expect others to treat it the same way.

"There's the Central Tower. Let's hurry." Little Fen Yang urged in a whisper.

"Mmhm." Du Yu responded softly, plunging headlong into a commercial building.

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Du Yu realized something. Rushing through the building and bursting out the north window, he looked again toward the Ashen Arrow.

Oh no!

There were so many Cold Beasts encircling the Ashen Arrow, piled up layer upon layer on its body!

I...

Even if I did get my hands on the Earth-level Demon Crystal, how would I even get it to the Ashen Arrow?!

The more he thought about it, the grimmer Du Yu's face became.

If the Ashen Arrow had stayed completely extinguished, it'd be a simple matter.

That way, the Cold Beasts would soon lose interest and start fighting one another instead.

But the Ashen Arrow was flickering on and off!

This constant flame kept drawing new waves of Cold Beasts again and again.

Which meant there would never be a peaceful moment near the Ashen Arrow!

"Come on..." Du Yu muttered under his breath.

He was just a Great Demon Tamer, with no way to push through a tide of Cold Beasts.

With layer upon layer of Demon Skills, if any so much as grazed his body, he'd be torn to shreds—

Man and Arrow, just bonded!

If he put aside the ultimate objective of destroying the Youhan Tree,

Finding an Earth-level Demon Crystal for the Ashen Arrow counted as Du Yu's first promise to it!

Was he really going to let the Ashen Arrow down on the very first try?

It was only now, after the fact, that Du Yu realized just how hard the Ashen Arrow's "test" really was!

This wasn't about bravery or recklessness anymore.

This was shaping up to be an impossible mission!

With so many Cold Beasts stacked on its shaft, how was he supposed to blast open a gap?

Otherwise... Celestial Cyan Porcelain?!

Summoning other Demon Pets in the test field—especially unbonded ones that weren't his—was definitely against the rules.

But it didn't matter. As long as he completed the Ashen Arrow's mission.

Still, Celestial Cyan Porcelain was in a critical stage of Cultivation to Saint. Should he really interrupt her?

"Du Yu! Stop!" Little Fen Yang suddenly called out.

Du Yu snapped out of it, his charging body freezing on the spot.

"Whoosh~"

A water jet shot by in front of Du Yu at incredible speed.

Du Yu quickly looked down and saw a giant goldfish, floating in midair.

Its bulging goldfish eyes were like two bright red searchlights, staring straight at Du Yu.

Golden Lamp Spirit Fish?

Turns out, when the forest is big enough, there really is every kind of bird.

Du Yu had ventured five hundred meters deep into the Bottomless and still never saw a Golden Lamp Spirit Fish.

He'd only ever seen those little guys playing in the pool under the central tree at Aunt Su's Demon Pet Paradise.

"Bloop~" The Golden Lamp Spirit Fish's mouth opened and closed, emitting a weird yet cute sound.

Xuan Platinum·Little Water Gun!

Du Yu immediately dodged sideways, letting the water jet shoot past.

"Go play with yourself." Du Yu swiped at his waist, drawing the Persian Short Scimitar in a horizontal arc.

Demon Soldier Array·Flying Fire Arc!

In an instant, a Flame Blade Arc lashed out at the Golden Lamp Spirit Fish.
