I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 700 - 491 The dark night is coming?

With Lord Baojun as the Door God, the collapsed shop naturally became much safer.

However, the Desolate Silver Lynx was quickly liberated.

Because the Shaohai Corps had already rolled over, the configuration of Mud Po Goddess Sculpture + Double Heaven Returning Wood firmly controlled everything within a hundred meters.

"Finally found it!" Liu Juncai sat on the shoulder of the Divine Witch, a flash of brilliance crossing her beautiful eyes.

As early as half a year ago in the Ancient Wilderness City, Liu Juncai, acting as Du Yu's commander, discovered something incredible.

As long as you give him a target, Du Yu would get you the result.

He always delivers!

Even more effective than praying at the temple~

Any leader with such a warrior under their command is truly blessed beyond measure!

Du Yu spoke: "Everyone, gather around the Heaven Returning Wood; we cannot stay here long."

The soldiers immediately obeyed, running towards the Mud Po Goddess Sculpture.

"Um..." Ding Puna raised her hand, looking like a well-behaved child.

Du Yu looked at the Icefield girl: "What is it?"

Ding Puna pointed to the giant claw of the Desolate Silver Lynx.

"Me! Save me!" A muffled voice came from under the silver giant claw.

Du Yu turned his head and saw Baojun standing proudly, displaying his regal aura, while surveying the battlefield.

The issue was that Lord Baojun's claw was still pressing on the girl's head?

For this tiny member of the Human Race stuck to his tail, Baojun had a unique way of punishment besides his disdain.

"Baojun, don't bully people," Du Yu said as he quickly stepped forward.

"Meow~" Baojun rubbed the girl's head with the soft pad of his paw before finally granting mercy and releasing the annoying bug.

"Phew~ rescued at last," Li Wenni breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her head buzzing.

There was indeed a soft pad under the Desolate Silver Lynx's claw, but her Demon Breath Battle Robe was hard...

A claw so large,

pressed against a person's head, rubbing anyone would leave them dazed.

"Thank you, we are students from Icefield Province, I'm Li Wenni," Li Wenni got up.

The girl originally had quite distinctive wavy short curly hair, but it was now messed up from being pressed by a cat's paw, looking like exploded fur.

Du Yu was taken aback, slightly tilting his head as he looked at the Icefield girl.

Goodness~

What did this Icefield girl eat to grow so tall?

I am 179 cm, and with shoes on, I can claim to be a six-foot man, yet I have to look up at you?

Maybe you shouldn't stand up, getting pressed to the ground by Baojun might be better after all...

"Quickly, let's gather near Mud Po," Du Yu hurriedly called, beckoning the other two persons from the Icefield.

"Everyone, listen up and retreat in an orderly manner!" Liu Juncai shouted loudly, "Heaven Returning Wood, get ready for the Heaven-Returning Tree Sea to disrupt the enemy formation!

Divine Witch, prepare the Mud Swamp to restrain the enemy troops!"

Next to Mud Po, the lead soldier, seeing the team in such a state, couldn't help feeling more excited.

Yes!

Absolutely yes!

Only such a powerful, well-commanded team might complete this mission.

All along, the soldiers were pessimistic about whether this group of students could accomplish the task.

Even though this is a group of Paper Crane Disciples with explosive talent and strength, these kids are indeed young.

Moreover, no matter how strong an individual is, they would eventually be overwhelmed by a beast tide.

The flustered performance of the Icefield trio undoubtedly confirmed the lead soldier's thoughts.

But now, this sudden Shaohai five-member team has given the soldiers hope for success!

"Prepare..." Liu Juncai stretched the tone, then shouted sternly, "Release!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!" In an instant, endless trees burst from the ground, growing wildly.

Under the spell of the two Heaven Returning Woods, the street ahead almost instantly turned into a primeval forest.

Moreover, the muddy ground in the forest transformed into a swamp!

The endless Cold Beasts were restrained by the dense trees, intricate branches, and the terrifying mud swamp.

"Retract the Demon Pets!" Liu Juncai first retracted the Mud Po Goddess Sculpture, and the Lin Family duo also called back the Heaven Returning Wood.

As Du Yu summoned back the Desolate Silver Lynx, the area instantly emptied.

"Run west at full speed!" Liu Juncai quickly instructed, urging everyone to sprint.

The Heaven-Returning Tree Sea and the Mud Swamp not only restrained the Cold Beasts in the battle group but also attracted other surrounding Cold Beasts with their tremendous commotion.

In this context, a few people running along the streets managed to escape.

Liu Juncai: "Junxing, enter the shop, we'll cross through."

At the front, Liu Junxing kicked off and directly smashed through the dirt door, bursting into a mall.

Electric Little Star radiated light, illuminating the dark mall.

In the lead, Liu Junxing immediately saw countless human figures inside the mall.

Heart skipped a beat!

These people are... oh, mannequin models...

Liu Junxing's heart pounded, almost twisting his nose in anger,

Is there a need to make them so lifelike?

Liu Juncai exclaimed loudly, "Du Yu!"

In the center of the team, Du Yu suddenly leaped up, spinning in mid-air.

The soldiers and Icefield trio looked bewildered~

This is... what kind of tactic is this?

Spin, jump, with eyes open?

"Whew~" Yet, Du Yu didn't fall; the fire line at the end of the Bow Arm burned, entwining into a tendon string.

"Junxing, the direction of my arrow." Du Yu drew the bow and arrow, releasing the tendon string between his fingers.

Liu Junxing, without a doubt, pointed his blade towards the arrow's direction.

Above, Electric Little Star spun rapidly, immediately following the arrow.

"Neigh~" As the horse whinnied, it was already tightly bound by the fire line.

"Crack!"

Wood chunks flew, and the Round Wood Flowing Horse was blown to pieces by Electric Little Star.

Flames and electric sparks lit up the southeastern corner of the mall's first floor.

The Icefield trio: ???

The soldier team was also a bit dumbfounded, this...

Liu Juncai: "Any more?"

Du Yu turned backward, flying in the air, scanning left and right: "The half body of a Blood Wind Bat, gone."

Li Wenni slightly opened her mouth, gazing at the soaring Du Yu.

At this moment, it was as if she saw a deity.

Is this the first Paper Crane Disciple of Shaohai?

Oh, no — wait, he seems to be the First Disciple of the Four Provinces...

"Keep heading south, get as far away from here as possible!" Liu Juncai ordered loudly.

At the moment of Liu Junxing's charge, he chopped through the dirt door and dashed onto the street.

In just a few seconds, the group hid inside a pizza shop two blocks away.

The frantic escape finally came to an end, and everyone could finally catch their breath.

Inside the room, no one spoke; only the sound of heavy breathing filled the air.

Liu Juncai stepped forward a few steps, patting Du Yu and Liu Junxing's shoulders with both hands.

A silent understanding had formed; without a word, the two of them went to the shop entrance and the window.

Feeling slightly reassured, Liu Juncai turned to Lin Shihao, giving her boyfriend a look.

Lin Shihao immediately stood up and approached several soldiers: "In the flames."

Leading soldier: "..."

We've already run across several blocks, and now you want to exchange codewords with me?

Alright... Fine.

First board the ship, then buy the ticket; that does count for something.

The leading soldier responded: "Rebirth."

Lin Shihao stood in front of the soldiers: "Officer, one block west is the safe house. Do you have any intelligence?"

"Here's the Fire Demon Crystal you wanted." The lead soldier reached to his side, and a soldier immediately handed him a red backpack.

Such behavior left the Icefield trio quite stunned!

They had also asked about this red backpack, whether it was mission-related.

Only to be answered with "No comment."

Yet the Shaohai people didn't even ask, and the soldier handed over the backpack?

The leading soldier handed out the package and continued: "The Cold Ashen Arrow is in bad shape, the journey to the Bottomless severely drained it.

Its flames are gradually weakening, soon the Cold Ashen Arrow will extinguish."

Hearing this, Lin Shihao's face changed dramatically: "Huh?"

This three-striped soldier spoke more thoroughly than a two-striped one, revealing an even more shocking outcome.

Extinguish?

Are you bloody kidding me?!

If the flames go out, the entire city will fall into darkness.

Darkness alone is enough to claim lives.

Not to mention, when the flames extinguish, no one will burn away the cold qi or clear out the Cold Beasts!

Is the Great Xia Bookstore trying to completely simulate Xuena City into the depths of the Bottomless?

No light, full of cold qi, besieged by Cold Beasts!

The more Lin Shihao thought about it, the darker his expression became: "This is just a test, is it really necessary to be so extreme?"

The leading soldier didn't respond.

The final exam content was jointly deliberated and determined by the Great Xia Bookstore and the Demon Spirit Squad.

The soldier was merely executing orders, without decision-making power.

The leading soldier just opened up his palm, drawing a blood mark and smeared it on Lin Shihao's face, adding a blood streak.

Nearby, Lin Shiwei whispered: "So, this is the meaning of rebirth through flames."

The leading soldier still didn't respond, just beckoned Lin Shiwei with his blood-stained fingertip.

The girl stepped forward, allowing the soldier to smear the blood mark on her face.

At the same time, she extended her slender fingers to wipe some blood from the soldier's palm and walked towards Du Yu.

"Du Yu." Lin Shiwei softly called.

"Hmm." From the window, Du Yu did not turn, still gazing at the night sky, tinged red by firelight.

For now, it seems the Cold Ashen Arrow hasn't shown signs of extinguishing?

Lin Shiwei stood beside Du Yu, gently swiping her blood-stained fingers across his face.

Behind them, Liu Juncai spoke in a deep voice: "Officer, please continue."

The leading soldier wore a serious expression: "If the flames extinguish, it means the Cold Ashen Arrow will fall asleep and rest.

Currently, this trend has become inevitable.

We can only provide the Cold Ashen Arrow with as many Demon Crystals as possible to help it recover strength and awaken soon."

The soldier paused, then continued: "However, don't be too pessimistic.

The Cold Ashen Arrow's recovery speed will be quick, the Third District won't be dark for long."

Lin Shihao: "During the dark phase, how long exactly?"

Leading soldier: "Unclear, but the more Fire Demon Crystals we give it, the faster the Cold Ashen Arrow will recover."

Lin Shihao opened the bulging backpack and saw a football-sized Fire Demon Crystal.

Leading soldier: "Our squad protects the Spirit-level Demon Crystal, there are even higher levels!"

Lin Shihao: "Where are the other squads? Can you tell us specific locations?"

Leading soldier: "You need to head towards the center of the city, head for the Bottomless.

The cold qi there is denser, the environment will inform you of the whereabouts of your dispersed comrades."

Lin Shihao felt a heavy weight, pressed his lips together: "Is there anything else we should know?"

The leading soldier raised his gaze and glanced at Liu Juncai: "Yes!

Please try to be quick.

The sky is about to turn dark."

Liu Juncai sighed inwardly, gently nodding.

Then, the leading soldier turned his gaze to Du Yu, who was quietly guarding the window.

Leading soldier: "Once the darkest hour arrives, the threat from the Cold Beast Army will be even greater.

In such an environment, you'd struggle to protect yourselves, let alone rescue comrades.

So you must obtain more Demon Crystals before nightfall and give them to the Cold Ashen Arrow!"

Du Yu sensed this, knowing the soldier was speaking to him.

He gazed at the fiery sky and couldn't help but grin.

The subtle expression stirred Lin Shiwei's heart.

Scornful, proud...

A different form of arrogant swagger.

Indeed, that's the feeling!

The leading soldier strongly advised: "Remember, all tasks must be completed before nightfall.

You should find a shelter in advance and enter it to hide before night descends.

Then defend that place staunchly, waiting for the night to pass, waiting for the Cold Ashen Arrow to reignite!

With your skills, I believe you can make it through!"

Hide in a shelter before nightfall?

Du Yu looked peculiar, silently staring at the night sky.

Perhaps you don't know, after dark is when this king truly shines!

If the Cold Ashen Arrow extinguishes,

then let this night raise a Burning Sun.
