I Have a Golden Crow

”Hurry up, hurry up!” At the peak of Gourd Mountain, an officer shouted loudly.

And along with his roar, squads of Demon Spirit Soldiers were gathering at the Gourd Mouth, clearly preparing to enter.

It’s worth mentioning that all the soldiers were carrying Demon Soldier Axes, perfectly identical in size and specs.

The pattern on their shoulder patches was also exactly the same as the war axes in their hands.

”Within the 800-meter depth, all Cold Beasts have been completely cleared! This is the operational environment carved out for us by Blade and Shield charging forward one after another!” The officer’s voice was rough, echoing over the battlefield, full of passion.

The officer’s gaze swept across the field: ”Once you reach the designated area, no need to report in, immediately clear the Cold Branches!

Attention! Destroy the felled Cold Branches on the spot. Don’t let branches fall into the Abyss and interfere with the brothers’ work. Is that clear?”

”Yes, sir!”

”Yes, sir!”

The mighty wave of voices surged up. The officer gave a heavy nod. ”Move out!”

At the same time, 1752 meters deep in the Bottomless Abyss.

Du Yu withdrew his Demon Pet back into his body and picked up the Fire Age Axe that had fallen on the Giant Tree.

Below, the soldiers and Demon Pets were still stacking the Wind Killing Array, reinforcing the Defense Array formation. The wails of the Cold Beasts were endless and shrill, yet not a single Cold Beast had broken through the Defense Array.

To be honest, even a mentally sound army unit would have a hard time breaking in here, let alone these brainless Cold Beasts.

So, although Du Yu was on the front line, he actually felt very at ease inside.

Great Xia was obviously well prepared. Whether it was the assault plan, tactics, or troop composition, everything was on point.

So... should he head back to the Mountain Realm?

Du Yu hesitated a bit. There was Jia Rong Grass in the Mountain Realm, which could escort the Desolate Silver Lynx’s advancement.

But all the officers and soldiers were fighting and bleeding here. If he just left the battlefield, it would clearly be a bit inappropriate.

”All personnel inside Gourd Mountain, attention!”

”All units inside Gourd Mountain, attention!”

A voice suddenly came through the Invisible Headphones.

The members of the Twin Squad dropped down at Du Yu’s side. No one spoke; they just listened carefully to the orders from above.

”All units have reached their designated depths. Within 30 minutes, clear all Cold Beasts in your respective sectors.”

”Repeating! Within 30 minutes, clear all Cold Beasts in your respective sectors! Get ready for the next phase to begin!”

Ji Yaoyao’s little face scrunched up in a grimace as she looked at the Life and Death Saber in her hands.

Even though the girl was stationed on the front line, she hadn’t had much chance to actually fight. Now they had to hold this position for another 30 minutes, so this Life and Death Saber that had just gotten excited...

Du Yu leaned his back against the Cold Tree and said softly, ”If we push another 800 meters down, that’ll be the Bottomless Pit.”

The entire Gourd Mountain·Bottomless Abyss had a total depth of 2600 meters, and right now everyone was at exactly 1800 meters deep!

Chen Leng stared at the meat-grinder-like battle cluster below and said, ”They shouldn’t be that reckless, right?”

Zhuang Mengdie nodded in agreement. ”The living space of the Cold Beasts is already very small. The deeper we push, the difficulty will multiply and multiply again.”

”True. Let’s just wait for orders.” Du Yu thought for a moment, then continued, ”While my Lynx is advancing, you guys should quickly top up some Demon Breath too.”

No matter what orders came next, arming themselves well was never the wrong choice.

”Congratulations, Master Yu, your Desert Lynx has advanced to Emperor Level.” Zhuang Mengdie floated behind Du Yu, offering a quiet congratulations.

If she hadn’t personally seen Elder Langao’s Demon Emperor·Desert Lynx, Zhuang Mengdie really would’ve thought that Du Yu’s Lynx had broken a record in the Demon Taming World.

Whether it was what the books taught or common sense in Demon Taming Society, everything told people that the Desert Lynx race would stop at Demon General Level.

And that was for Lynx with extraordinary Talent.

For an ordinary Desert Lynx, just growing to Spirit Level and condensing a Demon Soul was already like burning High Incense.

Du Yu smiled and nodded. ”I still have to thank Elder Langao for giving me a push.”

”So he was helping you, huh? I knew it!” Ji Yaoyao suddenly realized and muttered quietly, ”A Great Saint that big, how could he bully a kid?”

Crude words, but not wrong.

The other party was one of the Seven Saints of Great Xia. Forget bullying anyone—just casually glancing at some youngster would count as that youngster’s honor.

And during the earlier encounter of the two Lynx, Langao really had only glanced at Du Yu once.

No more, no less.

”I wonder if Elder Langao’s Lynx has learned any Emperor Level-compatible Demon Skills.” Du Yu muttered to himself, full of hope inside.

Since all other Lynx in the world stopped at General Level, Du Yu had naturally lost any official guidance. He had no idea what powerful Demon Skills an Emperor Level Lynx could learn.

The rules of the Demon Taming World were like an invisible hand, controlling all living beings.

Some Demon Skills that seemed very simple in people’s eyes were simply impossible to learn for certain species of Demon Beasts.

Like Earth Spikes, Earth Walls and the like.

From Du Yu’s perspective, these Demon Skills had zero learning difficulty, but the Desert Lynx race just didn’t fit them!

You know, the Desolate Silver Lynx could even slap out the Demon Skill·Triple Earth City, which was three giant earth cubes.

Yet if you wanted her to summon a plain, ordinary Earth Wall...

That was basically asking for the Desolate Silver Lynx’s life!

Du Yu’s thinking was simple: since Elder Langao was up ahead blazing a trail, he should be able to just pick up what’s already there, right?

A堂堂 one of the Seven Saints of Great Xia, he wouldn’t fail to kit his Demon Pet out with a Demon Skill, would he?

Mm... yeah, that had to be it!

Du Yu plopped down onto the Giant Tree, closed his eyes, and started assisting the Desolate Silver Lynx with its advancement.
