I Have a Golden Crow

”I want to walk from south to north, I also want to walk from white to black...” Du Yu murmured softly.

Moonlight poured down, highlighting the beautiful mountain forest.

The sounds of insects echoed in his ears, and the fragrance of earth filled his nostrils.

Wanderer Monk Du carried a backpack and gripped a bow as he walked step by step through the forest, truly embodying the feeling of a cultivating traveler.

Adding to the beauty of this scene, a Little Fire Fox perched on his shoulder, with a flame darting around nearby.

Such a scene should really be captured and used as a desktop background.

”It’s a bit chilly.” Du Yu stood by a large tree, feeling the subtle chill in the surrounding environment, and couldn’t help but marvel at the world’s wonder.

During the scorching summer days, even at night, the temperature is not low.

Yet at this moment, Du Yu seemed to have approached some extraordinary environment, only feeling the surrounding temperature gradually dropping.

”We should be near the Nether Leaf Small Pearl Cluster,” Little Fen Yang whispered.

”Hmm... eh?” As Du Yu reached for the tree beside him, he accidentally pressed something.

”Buzz!” The Red Ladybug seemed somewhat displeased. I was staying here perfectly fine, why are you bothering me?

Having become an ”emergency button” for no apparent reason, it immediately flapped its wings and buzzed in protest.

”Mistake, mistake, don’t be angry.” Du Yu looked at the palm-sized ladybug and thoughtfully helped press its two rounded shell halves back together.

The thin wings of the Red Ladybug slowly retracted under its hardened shell as it quickly climbed up, showing an attitude of ”Don’t touch me.”

Du Yu used a high-powered flashlight to illuminate the path ahead and took a few steps forward before he stopped in his tracks.

There’s something!

And it’s very frightening!

Du Yu suddenly turned off the flashlight, leaving the dense branches in the forest to obscure the moonlight and casting the surroundings into pitch darkness.

A sudden sight, Du Yu saw a pair of glowing beast eyes!

One pair, two pairs, three pairs... behind the trees, among the foliage, pairs of gleaming eyes made Du Yu’s scalp tingle!

He carefully slung the Silver Fire Bow over his shoulder and pulled out his phone, opening the Demon Pet Atlas.

He activated the scanning function and turned the flashlight back on, shining it into the foliage ahead on the right.

”Sss!”

”Sss, sss, sss!” A series of hissing sounds immediately came, carrying a heavy note of warning, full of hostility!

Upon seeing the small silhouette behind the foliage, Du Yu was a bit dumbfounded.

Ding... Ding Man?

The little creature looked very much like a mongoose.

It had a long slender body, striving to stand tall, peering curiously in their direction, like a sentinel.

The high-powered flashlight didn’t scare away this mongoose; instead, it triggered the ferocity of the entire group, continuing with the hissing sound, making quite a racket.

At the same time, Du Yu’s phone scanned and displayed a message:

”Little Night Mongoose, Fire and Earth Dual-attribute Demon Beast, Night Mongoose Race.

Named after its resemblance to mongoose species. Little Night Mongoose is accustomed to nocturnal activity, naturally combative, highly aggressive, with particularly sharp claws and teeth, a born hunter. Medium growth potential.

Power Level Evaluation in progress...

Earth Level·Initial Stage, specific strength to be determined based on actual conditions, Atlas detection for reference only.

Common Demon Skills of Little Night Mongoose: 1, Sharp Teeth Bite...

”Ooh~!” Xiaoyan suddenly let out a fox cry, as if responding to something.

Although Du Yu didn’t understand the ”chattering hisses” of the Little Night Mongoose, Xiaoyan did, and under the contract, Du Yu seemed to grasp something too.

Were Ding Mans cursing?

With Xiaoyan’s sharp fox cry, the Little Night Mongooses quickly quieted down, and seconds later, they began to hide, retreating into the grass and behind large trees.

Du Yu frowned, shining the flashlight around, trying to find them, but couldn’t locate any sign of the Little Night Mongeese.

This isn’t normal!

The information from the Demon Pet Atlas can’t be wrong; the Atlas stipulated that the Little Night Mongoose ”naturally combative, highly aggressive, born hunters,” why would they retreat?

Du Yu casually scanned one Little Night Mongoose and found it was Earth Level Initial Stage, which meant this group had strong power and couldn’t be scared off by Xiaoyan.

”Little Fen Yang.” Du Yu put away his phone and took up the Demon Soldier Silver Fire again, ”Stay alert, the Little Night Mongooses might ambush us or encircle and hunt us.”

Little Fen Yang: ”Okay, okay.”

Du Yu deliberately bypassed the path ahead, fearing walking into an ambush, carefully proceeding towards the left front.

The forest was silent, coupled with the chilling sensation in the air, making one’s hairs stand on end.

Du Yu remained extremely vigilant, advancing step by step, feeling puzzled as even upon reaching the forest edge, the Little Night Mongoose tribe hadn’t come to hunt.

What’s going on here?

He slightly turned around, constantly shining the flashlight into the mountain forest while retreating step by step, eventually exiting the silent woodland and stepping onto the lawn.

With no thick branches to block, the moonlight poured down, giving this area a hint of brightness.

”There’s someone there~”

”Huh?” Du Yu quickly turned around, using the flashlight to scan around.

The next moment, an identical flashlight shined in Du Yu’s direction, and it wasn’t constantly shining; the light blinked repeatedly, clearly signaling something.

Du Yu placed a hand over his face, squinting his eyes, moving sideways several steps.

The glaring light finally vanished, and Du Yu blinked forcefully, catching sight of the low bushes before him.

This should be the territory of the Nether Leaf Bead, with no trees growing around, and even a broad lawn stretching between the low bush and the forest, like a boundary line.
