I Have a Golden Crow

In a world shrouded by grey fog, the light is naturally dim.

And as the sunset gradually fell over the mountain, the Otherworld became even more dark.

”No, we absolutely can’t spend the night here.” Du Yu thought secretly, holding a torch in one hand, and turned to glance at the team behind him.

The Demon Beasts stuck closely to the tree wall, running quickly, trying their best to keep up with Du Yu’s speed. Behind him, Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan rode together, vigilantly observing the sides and rear.

”Nai!” Xiaobai suddenly let out a deer cry, stopping in its tracks.

”What is it?” Du Yu turned back to look forward.

A blood-soaked scene appeared before his eyes.

Dozens of Demon Beasts were pierced by branches, hanging high in the air, their deaths extremely tragic.

They were of different races, various sizes and shapes, but the one thing they had in common was that they were all corpses, motionless.

”Drip~Drip...”

Droplets of blood continued to fall, the ground below already a deep crimson, blood seeping into the earth, emitting a faint bloody smell.

Du Yu couldn’t help but click his tongue secretly: ”No wonder there’s been hardly any Demon Beasts along the way.”

These Demon Plant Barriers are not merely tree walls blocking two worlds, but also a defense mechanism.

The smell of blood here is so intense, yet no Demon Beasts have come following the scent, presumably there are no Cold Beasts nearby anymore, all executed by the Demon Plant Barrier!

”Ah.” Li Mengnan gasped lightly, even though she was accustomed to battles and had seen life and death, had she ever witnessed such a gruesomely terrifying ”wall of corpses”?

”Demon Plants all have spiritual quality, and they have different personalities.” Lin Shiwei pursed her lips, continuing, ”The Demon Plants will follow the orders of the Twin Trees, seal this place and prevent the leakage of Cold Qi.

And some Demon Plants, due to their personalities, will be more aggressive, directly clearing out polluted Cold Beasts.”

Li Mengnan: ”Following the Twin Trees’ orders?”

Lin Shiwei: ”Or perhaps following the orders of the Demon Spirit Squad, maybe both.”

”Let’s go.” Du Yu worked to steady his emotions, sniffing the pungent bloody scent, moving away from the tree wall by over ten meters and continued to ride the deer forward.

Being merely over ten meters away from the tree wall was clearly not enough.

In fact, when Du Yu discovered this ”wall of corpses,” it was already too late; they had already entered the attack range of the ”aggressive personality” Demon Plants.

The reason the Demon Plants hadn’t attacked was naturally having discerned that this team was free from Cold Qi corruption.

”Nai~” Xiaobai turned its head, looking visibly unwilling to gaze directly at the sight.

The enemy corpses hanging on sharp tree spikes had a very intimidating effect!

But to the kind-hearted Dust Spirit Deer, such scenes were too brutal.

The team carefully bypassed the blood-soaked area, yet under Du Yu’s leadership, they continued walking closely to the tree wall.

No matter how other beings felt, Du Yu instead felt somewhat relieved!

What does this scene signify?

As long as he walked closely next to the tree wall, it was as though he had a backup army!

Du Yu would never criticize the Demon Plants for such fierce behavior because the Cold Beasts are the enemies of this world!

To be precise, they are the enemies of the Twin Tree Civilization!

”Quickly, everyone move faster.” Gaining confidence, Du Yu called out.

”Pa!” The Rose Double Spirit whipped the ground according to the owner’s command, urging the Demon Beast team to move quickly.

The group marched several hundred meters, encountering one Cold Beast corpse after another along the way. Just as they were feeling nervous, Du Yu’s surprised voice came: ”Soldiers?”

”Hmm?”

”Someone?” Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan looked pleasantly surprised and hurriedly looked ahead.

In the dim twilight, they couldn’t see a thing.

But in Du Yu’s sight, there were two tall figures clad in camouflage, standing in front of the leaf wall, reaching out to study something.

Upon hearing the shout, the two figures stiffened, quickly turning around and melting into layers of grey fog.

Du Yu: ???

Already riding the deer forward, he immediately clamped his legs around the deer’s belly: ”Soldiers? We need help! We are from the Demon Spirit Academy... huh!”

Du Yu released the Ghost Firefly Torch, simultaneously grabbing the deer antler, bringing on an abrupt halt.

In terms of speed, the two soldiers were obviously not a match for the Dust Spirit Deer; catching up was just a matter of time.

But the problem was, the two suddenly split up?

One fled northwest, the other to the northeast, running in separate ways!

This...

Du Yu’s expression was shocked, speechless for a long moment.

”Du Yu?”

”Come back quickly, Du Yu, let’s not get separated.” Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan’s voices called out.

Du Yu furrowed his brows, gazing at the layers of grey fog, turning the deer’s head back to the team.

Li Mengnan hurriedly asked: ”What happened, did you see soldiers?”

Du Yu’s expression was serious, nodding: ”Yes, it seemed like two soldiers.”

Hope surged in Li Mengnan’s heart: ”Where? Where are they?”

”That’s the issue!” Du Yu wore a puzzled expression, ”If they were Demon Spirit Soldiers, why did they run when they heard my cries for help?”

Clearly, such behavior is not what a Demon Spirit Soldier should do!

Lin Shiwei asked: ”Are you sure they’re Demon Spirit Soldiers?”

Du Yu hesitated a bit, ”Uh... they were both wearing camouflage, and the clothes were somewhat torn, like they’d been through a battle.

Do you know what is even more bizarre?”

”What?”

Du Yu paused, then said: ”They fled separately!”
