I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 706 - 496 The First Close Encounter with Black Arrow

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."

In the night sky, Zhu Weizheng's voice trembled as he muttered softly, barely holding back his inner panic.

Cold Beasts were everywhere, coming from all directions!

Although the Cold Beasts weren't too close, and their attention had been drawn to the battlefield, who could handle such a dangerous environment?

Zhu Weizheng covered his face with one hand, trying his best to hide his reddened eyes, terrified that even the slightest glimmer might be seen.

Below the invigilator was Du Yu and Lin Shiwei, dropping down toward the Cold Ashen Arrow.

Watching this pair of fearless youths, Zhu Weizheng felt like he was about to explode!

Do you two not value your lives at all?

And what about my life as an invigilator, are you willing to throw that away too?

If I'd known it would be like this, I would've swapped posts with another invigilator, no matter what!

Even though Zhu Weizheng was mentally cursing nonstop, he still dutifully followed behind the two students.

"Fly on your own for a bit first," Du Yu whispered as he handed the Jade Marrow Bow to Lin Shiwei.

"Here." Lin Shiwei handed the two backpacks, tied back-to-back, to Du Yu.

As they moved, both of them descended slowly, heading for the fletching of the Cold Ashen Arrow.

Strictly speaking, the Cold Ashen Arrow didn't actually have fletching.

This thick Black Arrow was jet-black throughout, with cracks all over it like parched earth.

The so-called "fletching" was also made up entirely of pitch-black, charred material.

"Don't you dare touch it!" Du Yu lowered his voice, giving a quick warning.

Holy Grade Demon Soldiers are nothing to mess around with.

If General Lin even brushed against it and got burned up, that would be a hell of a joke!

Behind them, Zhu Weizheng finally managed to catch up.

Realizing something was off, he quickly flew behind the two and warned, "You two shouldn't get any closer—just throw the Demon Crystal from here!"

Lin Shiwei turned toward the invigilator, following the sound of his voice.

The girl raised a slender finger to her lips: "Shh."

Zhu Weizheng: ???

Rebellion! These students are totally rebelling!

My own student is "shushing" me, telling me to shut up and stop nagging?

Damn...

Meanwhile, in Du Yu's head: "Little Fen Yang, can I touch it or not?"

"You can, you can, you can!" Little Fen Yang's voice was full of anticipation, "Quick, Du Yu~ let's poke Black Arrow awake~"

Zhu Weizheng wanted to say more, but saw Du Yu already landing on the charred arrow fletching.

Zhu Weizheng's eyes widened like saucers—his heart practically stopped!

That's a Holy Grade Demon Soldier that can burn everything to ashes!

You really do have guts...

True, some Cold Beasts had swooped past the Cold Ashen Arrow without getting burned.

But the beasts don't know what the Cold Ashen Arrow can do—don't you?

No matter what Zhu Weizheng was thinking, Du Yu was already on the arrow.

Given that the giant arrow was a hundred meters long, with its enormous size, a lot of people could actually stand on its charred fletching.

Du Yu landed steadily, then dropped into a half-kneel, reaching out to feel the arrow's texture.

It felt just like parched earth, ice-cold with not a hint of warmth.

It was hard to believe that just now this arrow had been blazing with fire, burning all in its path—yet now it was cold as ice.

"Du Yu, Du Yu," Little Fen Yang whispered, "poke it~"

"Okay." Du Yu replied in his mind, patting the charred arrow fletching.

With a thousand words swirling in his heart, all that came out was a single nickname: "Brother Arrow?"

Lin Shiwei: "..."

Hovering in midair behind them, question marks practically leaked out of Zhu Weizheng's head.

Du Yu spoke softly: "Wake up, Brother Arrow, I know you aren't really asleep.

You're just cooperating with us for the mission. Your body's totally fine, right?"

Zhu Weizheng finally couldn't hold back, suppressing his voice: "Are you tired of living? If you wake up the Cold Ashen Arrow, you'll get burned to death, you know?"

Lin Shiwei scowled and turned to glare at Zhu Weizheng.

"Shh!" The girl's gaze was stern and her tone was annoyed. "Invigilators can't interfere with student operations."

Zhu Weizheng completely lost it: "Are you fucking %￥#￥*@!!!"

Thanks to the invigilator's outburst, Du Yu stopped talking aloud, switching to communicating with his Demon Soul instead.

He kept his tone gentle: "Brother Arrow, it's our first time meeting. My name's Du Yu.

You haven't seen me before, but I've been looking out for you for ages.

I can sense there's a special bond between us!"

Cold Ashen Arrow: "..."

Du Yu continued with his mind: "You're a Fire Attribute Holy Soldier, and I'm also Fire Attribute.

No random attributes at all, just pure fire—it's a perfect match!

Plus, it just so happens I use a bow and arrow, hundred shots, hundred hits—that's me!

Isn't that fate? The two of us were made for each other! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

This big Book House Exam brought us together in this sea of people—that's destiny, right there!"

Cold Ashen Arrow: "..."

Du Yu stroked the charred arrow fletching: "I awakened a year and a half ago, and now, I'm already a Great Demon Tamer, Great Success Stage.

You heard right, it only took me a year and a half!"

Brother Arrow, you get what I mean, right?"

Cold Ashen Arrow: "..."

Du Yu waited patiently for a while, but there was still no response.

But who is Du Yu anyway?

What even is shame, huh~

He went right on: "What I mean is, my talent's off the charts—unparalleled potential!

Anyone who sees me would have to say, 'This guy's limitless, we mustn't let him slip by...' Eh?"

Little Fen Yang: ???

Cold Ashen Arrow: ???

Du Yu quickly added, "No, no, what I mean is, I'm destined to become a God, a Saint!

Just give me another year or so, and I'll be charging right for Demon Taming Saint!

You and I, two arrows together, we'll definitely achieve something big.
