I Have a Golden Crow

”Let’s go, let’s see... hmm.” Du Yu leaned against the wall, trying to stand up, but his legs gave way.

”Du Yu?”

”Careful.” The two hurriedly rushed over, sound approaching rapidly.

They supported Du Yu’s arms, one on each side.

Even Xiaobai was startled at their speed!

She was curious at heart, looking at Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan beside her master... these humans have quite the talent for speed too?

”Ying~” Xiaoyan anxiously spun in place, knowing very well that her master’s weakness was caused by her.

She felt a heavy sense of guilt.

Due to her forceful upgrade, not only had Little Fen Yang been running back and forth, disrupting the rhythm of the Shadow Gu Tower, but Du Yu’s Demon Breath had also been completely drained.

Lin Shiwei frowned slightly: ”Mengnan, help him sit inside.”

”What’s wrong with you?” Li Mengnan picked up Du Yu’s arm, draped it over her neck, and walked him into the cave, asking softly.

Du Yu opened his mouth, just about to say something but was interrupted by a loud alarm.

”Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!”

An alarm!?

All at once, the faces of the trio changed!

The melodious alarm was so loud, it was nearly piercing and it resonated within their hearts.

At any time, any place, the meaning of an alarm need not be explained!

Ordinarily in society, alarms might be sounded for ’constant vigilance’, serving to commemorate, memorialize, or alert people and so on.

But in the Demon Spirit Realm, if you hear an alarm, there’s no other explanation, only four words:

Great Catastrophe!

In Lin Shiwei’s memory, alarms were for other types of Demon Spirit Realms, such as the Mountain Fire Blade Realm.

In Great Xia, among the Demon Spirit Realms opened by Twin Trees, alarms had hardly ever sounded!

Because Twin Trees are the greatest safeguard!

Kind and compassionate, caring for all life, Twin Trees wouldn’t allow danger to occur within their home. But now...

”Mengnan, come back, we have to leave now.” Lin Shiwei quickly summoned Bai Lu, calling out.

In the Newbie Demon Spirit Realm, alarm sounds are a signal for societal Demon Tamers that the official squads are going to ’clear the grounds’.

Leave as quickly as possible, ensure your own safety while not adding trouble for the Demon Spirit Squad, this is what societal Demon Tamers should do!

Li Mengnan immediately turned around, bringing Du Yu back to the cave entrance: ”We... I... this?”

For a moment, the three at the entrance looked up.

The sun was setting in the west, its afterglow spilling over the world, a scene that would be incredibly beautiful, yet...

From the northeast, a grey fog was surging forward, heavily infiltrating the mountains and forests, engulfing everything in the world!

This apocalyptic scenery left them all stunned.

With such scenery, the continuous alarm sounds kept striking at their minds!

Flocks of birds flew to the sky, quickly distancing from this troubled place; they had wings to escape the hustle, but land creatures were doomed!

”Woo woo~”

”Woo~~~” Trees wildly shook, bushes swayed continuously, frantic and panicked sounds echoed from afar.

A motley group of Demon Beasts were scrambling in a chaotic escape.

Under their watchful eyes, a few slow-running Demon Beasts at the back of the group were completely swallowed by the grey fog.

Terror-stricken screams followed one after another, lingering in the air.

”Nai!” Bai Lu suddenly took a step forward, loudly crying out to the fleeing Demon Beasts.

”Nai~!” Xiaobai also raised her head and called out with a deer bellow, the Demon Beasts escaping the grey fog didn’t care for much, rushing straight to the cave.

Lin Shiwei opened her mouth, but the words swallowed back.

Through the contract, she understood Bai Lu’s meaning: Come over here quickly, it’s safe here.

The Dust Spirit Deer clan, accustomed to avoiding all life, never participating in any disputes. Yet now, facing the life-and-death escape of various Demon Beasts, the Dust Spirit Deer took the initiative to extend an invitation!

Su Ming’an once told Du Yu that with Dust Spirit Deer beside his daughter, he could rest assured, not worrying about Lin Shiwei going astray.

Turns out, Su Ming’an’s expectations were overly modest.

The kind-hearted nature of the Dust Spirit Deer clan is unmatched by ordinary Demon Beasts.

Whether it was Bai Lu or Bai Yujing, they were completely the ’Eyes of Morality’ raised beside Du Lin.

With the Dust Spirit Deer’s speed, the trio could leave, Bai Lu and Bai Yujing could also, like those forest birds, preserve themselves, away from this troubled place.

Yet facing the crying and fleeing Demon Beasts, both Immortal Deer extended a protection invitation.

”Whoosh~” A tiny star like a hidden weapon, darted rapidly, not having time to decelerate, also bouncing inside the cave.

Could it be the precious Celestial Treasure race creature, Electric Little Star?

Soon after, Du Yu and his group hurriedly cleared the entrance.

”Ying~” A Two-tailed Fire Fox holding a Little Fox in its mouth sped quickly, second to enter the cave.

Even with a few unfamiliar humans at the entrance, the Two-tailed Fire Fox didn’t care much.

The larger group behind the Two-tailed Fire Fox, were all high-speed races, Lightning Cats, Thunderlight Leopards, Electric Squirrels, Flying Steeds, Cloud Brocade Lambs...

They are mostly of the electric and wind elements, with a few other attributes of Demon Beasts who are also incredibly fast due to their racial forms, such as the Blade Rock Monkey.

”There’s no way to leave now.” Lin Shiwei said softly, looking at the surging gray mist, and sighed lightly.

The opportunity vanished in an instant, the speed of the gray mist rushing forward was far beyond what people imagined.

Li Mengnan felt a bit flustered in her heart: ”This is... Cold Qi?”

Du Yu: ”It should be.”

Li Mengnan trembled as she spoke: ”Did something happen to the Twin Trees? That soldier said last time that when the Twin Trees shook, the Cold Qi spread everywhere...”

Lin Shiqing’s voice was very light, more like muttering to herself: ”Can we stop it?”

Du Yu silently gazed at the gray mist: ”Maybe.”

Li Mengnan clung tightly to Du Yu’s left arm as the overwhelming gray mist closed in, and she shut her eyes.

Du Yu only felt his right hand soften, and as he slightly bowed his head, he saw Lin Shiwei’s slender hand, wearing a Finger Tiger, tightly gripping his hand.

Everything seemed to return to the scenario in the Shadow Gu Tower.

This spirited girl was ultimately just a young woman.

Perhaps when with others, she would continue to be strong, but beside Du Yu, she did not mind showing her other side, nor did she mind seeking a bit of security.

”Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!”

Amid the piercing, soul-stirring alarm sounds, the dense gray mist surged in, covering the sky.

Panic-stricken and desperate Demon Beasts in the cave howled chaotically, their eyes full of despair, bodies trembling.

However, with nowhere left to retreat, the creatures could only fix their eyes on the backs of the three at the cave entrance, pinning their hopes on these few members of the Human Race.

The endless gray mist rushed towards the cave, aimed directly at the three blocking the entrance.

”Phew~”

The trio unanimously stepped back a pace.

The fierce wind raged, yet there was only a storm of air!

The surging gray mist, as if deterred by something, dared not encroach upon even an inch of the cave.

The gray mist covered the sky, swept over the top of the cave, and continued to engulf one area like an army passing through!

In the dim cave interior, Electric Little Star finally stabilized, spinning slowly in mid-air, emitting a luminescent electric glow, illuminating the surroundings.

”Hmm?”

”Ooh...” The Demon Beasts murmured softly, as if relieved after surviving a disaster, checking their bodies, then looked towards the people at the cave entrance.

”Ha.” Lin Shiwei sighed lightly, within 20 to 30 meters, everything was clear.

Yet looking further out, all was gray mist.

Being in it, one would likely even lose track of direction.

”Can we withstand it?” Li Mengnan appeared as if she wanted to look but dared not, opening her eyes slightly. When she saw the gray mist was dozens of meters away, her heart was filled with joy.

Lin Shiwei expressionlessly gazed at the layers of gray mist: ”We can repel the Cold Qi, yet we’re trapped here.

Once we step into the mist, we’ll lose visibility and most likely get lost.”

Li Mengnan let go and hurried to find her phone: ”I’ll call for help now...”

Before she finished speaking, Li Mengnan’s action abruptly stopped.

The last time they went out of the Otherworld to resupply was a week ago, and their phones were already out of battery. Originally, they planned to stay in the cave for a night and return tomorrow...

And now, at this juncture, an unprecedented event occurred.

”Let’s wait for the soldiers to take us out.” Lin Shiwei said softly, yet she felt the cold sensation in her palm.

Her face slightly reddened, she quickly released Du Yu’s hand.

Blame it on the imposing momentum of the gray mist, like black clouds pressing down on a city, the oppressive feeling was indeed too great.

Also... why is Du Yu’s hand so cold?

Du Yu didn’t mind any of this, instead turning his head to call: ”Xiaoyan.”

”Yip!” Inside the cave, Xiaoyan was beside her clansmen, helping the Two-tailed Fire Fox mother to comfort the trembling Little Fox.

Hearing her master’s voice, Xiaoyan hurriedly ran over.

The various Demon Beasts in the cave looked over, finding the scene quite novel.

Under normal circumstances, different species of Demon Beasts gathered together would inevitably lead to conflict.

But in this unprecedented disaster, all the Demon Beasts remained very quiet.

Originally watching Xiaoyan running over, Du Yu was attracted by a multitude of panic-stricken eyes.

”Yip!” Perhaps feeling her master was still a bit weak, Xiaoyan lightly leaped, sprang onto Li Mengnan’s head, and looked down at Du Yu before her.

Du Yu: ”You are already a Celestial-level Monster Beast. In this Newbie Realm, there is no creature that can stop you.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Level, you can learn an offensive Demon Skill, to emit a fiery ray through the tip of your tail. Learn it as soon as possible to protect all of us.”

”Yip!” Xiaoyan nodded heavily, golden-brown fox eyes filled with determination.

Du Yu patted Li Mengnan’s shoulder: ”You take Xiaoyan to learn the new Demon Skill, I need to rest for a moment.”

”Okay!” Li Mengnan took Xiaoyan from her head and immediately accepted the task.

Knowing everything about the Fire Fox Race, the girl naturally included their Demon Skills.

Watching Li Mengnan leave, Du Yu turned to Lin Shiwei, lowering his voice: ”I think we need to leave, we can’t just sit and wait for death!”

Lin Shiwei’s expression was solemn: ”Hmm?”
