I Have a Golden Crow

”Whew~”

The lines of flame came fast, and disappeared just as quickly.

As the fire streaks vanished from the Giant Rock Python’s body, it suddenly whipped its head around to glare at Du Yu, those serpentine eyes oozing venomous malice: ”Hiss!”

”Oh my~” Little Fen Yang’s voice echoed in his mind, ”Snake’s throwing a tantrum~”

Du Yu: ”Uh.”

”Eh?” Little Fen Yang blinked, ”Snake’s calmed down again.”

Indeed, the Giant Rock Python, who had been shrieking, abruptly cut off its hiss and swung its head to stare at the distant battlefield.

The Purple-clothed Man seemed unable to control his body and plunged headfirst into the thick branches of the Heaven Returning Wood.

These branches were by no means ordinary twigs of a tree.

Each razor-sharp wood thorn stabbed viciously outward!

With a crisp ”crash,” the Demon Breath Battle Robe on the Purple-clothed Man’s body was instantly shattered.

A thick wood thorn pierced straight into the man’s back!

The sharp spike skewered through his torso, bursting out from his abdomen, swift and deadly!

The Giant Rock Python was stunned.

But in truth, even more stunned was its master—Yisai Xie.

From the start of the fight up to now, it had only been a few seconds.

Yisai Xie’s body had been paralyzed the entire time, unable even to sense the demon breath within himself.

His single, solitary eye watched himself fly toward the Heaven Returning Wood, and watched a wood thorn burst out from his stomach...

Yisai Xie was afraid.

Even though it was already too late and he was at death’s door, he still couldn’t suppress the terror inside.

”Shasha~”

The thick foliage parted to either side, and that ethereal, goddess-like woman silently appeared before him.

Her slender fingertips gently tapped the blood-red tip of the wood thorn as she looked down at the terrified Purple-clothed Man: ”Demon Taming General·Initial Stage, now that’s a rare catch.”

Demon Taming General·Initial Stage—of course that’s rare!

Such terrifying strength was enough to let him rampage across the land, playing God in the eyes of most people.

Sadly, he had run into Yang Qingqing.

Demon Taming General·Great Success, Yang Qingqing!

With the Bell Bracelet’s boost, any Demon Tamer below the Great Success Stage was simply a lamb for slaughter!

Only someone stronger than Yang Qingqing, or with an abnormally high demon breath capacity, surpassing Yang Qingqing, would have any hope of breaking free from the bracelet’s restraint—only then could they even qualify to face her!

As Master Qing’s power increased and her inner demon breath grew, the level of beings the Bell Bracelet could control would naturally rise as well.

All this time, Du Yu had only ever seen Master Qing use the Bell Bracelet to summon cell phones or water bottles and such.

But now, on the battlefield, Yang Qingqing summoned the Purple-clothed Man as easily as she summoned a water cup...

But it must be stated that these rules only applied to the Human Race.

With the Demon Beast Race...

Even if a demon beast was weaker than Yang Qingqing, the Bell Bracelet might still fail to control it.

Firstly, at the same rank, Beast Race bodies naturally held far more demon breath than humans.

This was a racial advantage, a plain fact.

Secondly, the larger the beast, the harder it was for the Bell Bracelet to control.

”Jingle~jingle~”

Yang Qingqing floated back, the bells on her wrist chiming clearly—now a death knell for Yisai Xie.

”Aaaah!” A shrill scream tore from Yisai Xie.

Only when he finally cried out did Yisai Xie realize he could move his body again.

Yet, as his scream rang out, spike after spike had already impaled his body.

Yisai Xie’s lonely, widened eye stared forward, utterly dead.

”Pfft~”

”Pfft~” At once, several Demon Pets burst out, and on the Heaven Returning Wood, another round of battle erupted.

”Hisssss...” Outside the melee, the Giant Rock Python sensed disaster.

Its master was dead—the contract was broken!

The Giant Rock Python’s next actions revealed its true nature completely.

It no longer cared about Du Yu, immediately ducking its head and burrowing into the earth, looking ready to beat a hasty retreat!

”Oh my~” Little Fen Yang’s playful voice chimed, ”Snake’s flames have gone out~”

Du Yu: ”...”

Although speechless inside, his actions were quick.

The fingertips that had long been pinching an arrow’s fletching relaxed quietly.

A Fire Arrow shot out with blinding speed, trailing a long streak of fire through the air.

With a crisp ”ding!”

Even though most of the Giant Rock Python’s body was underground, it was still pinned in place!

”Whoosh!”

The sound of air tearing broke out—not from a Heaven Returning Wood branch, but from the Rose General Spirit’s Flame Flower Vine.

From the distant melee, as several general-level demon beasts joined in, Yang Qingqing had also summoned her Rose General Spirit!

The enormous size of that one flower and one tree defied easy description—their height alone was at least six meters.

The two of them, fearless and imposing, took on four opponents together; the Rose General Spirit even had time to lash out its Flame Flower Vine to snatch up the Giant Rock Python.

Hmm...

Since it was Master Qing’s Rose General Spirit, it naturally looked out for Du Yu as well.

After all, Demonic Pets Follow the Master—even the love for one’s house is passed on to its crow.

But the Rose General Spirit could fling out its vine so quickly due to its biological form.

You had to know, the Rose General Spirit had no eyes—it observed the battlefield through the four rose blossoms circling its neck.

With 360-degree vision, it had naturally spotted Du Yu’s action.

”Hiss!” The Giant Rock Python shrieked in terror—barely free from the Eclipse Arrow’s binding, it was now violently flung skyward by the Flame Flower Vine!

”Damn~” Du Yu couldn’t help but grin, hurriedly guiding his deer mount into retreat.

Massive petals flew from the Rose General Spirit’s floral head, spreading across the battlefield!

Each petal burned fiercely, spinning rapidly like flaming blades.
