I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 714 - 499 Ashes Ashes kill me!_2

"Uh." Du Yu scratched his head.

Liu Juncai smiled, clearly not wanting Du Yu to feel too awkward: "I'm hugging the big leg."

Du Wentao: "..."

Zhao Lin: "..."

Who's there on this point?

However, the two thought too much, all the students in the room, including the teacher gathering people to "play cards," seemed to be hugging the big leg.

Liu Juncai: "Tell us what happened, okay?"

Lin Shihao joined in: "Du Yu, was that flame waterfall just now released by you?"

Du Yu nodded: "I think so."

Lin Shihao grinned: "So carefree, huh?"

"Hehe." Du Yu scratched his head, "Shiwei, you report the task for me, I want some peace."

"Go ahead." Lin Shiwei readily agreed, naturally knowing what Du Yu wanted to do.

Over there, Lin Shiwei briefly recounted the task details.

Meanwhile, Du Yu went to the restaurant corner and, through the contract, called for the Ashen Arrow: "Ashes, are you there?"

Ashen Arrow: "..."

"Hey?" Du Yu carefully felt, mumbling internally, "The contract is still in place, hasn't broken?"

Ashen Arrow: "Not broken.

It's just, I've never communicated using a contract before."

"Oh." Du Yu nodded silently.

It seemed the Ashen Arrow took the Road to Heaven after the last master's demise.

Before Demon Soldiers reach the Holy Grade, there is no talk of Soldier's Soul.

Du Yu really wanted to ask about Ashen Arrow's origin, and its previous master.

But he hesitated with his thoughts.

After all, they've just contracted, and Du Yu wasn't sure if Ashen Arrow wanted to talk about the past.

After pondering, Du Yu asked: "Do you hate Bottomless deeply?"

Ashen Arrow: "My previous master was devoured by Bottomless, this very Bottomless."

Du Yu realized, silently responding: "Condolences."

No wonder the Ashen Arrow has guarded this place for decades, slaughtering Cold Beasts and burning Cold Qi here.

No wonder the Ashen Arrow agreed to go with Du Yu to burn the Youhan Tree.

Ashen Arrow: "Back then, I was weak, with only a sliver of consciousness.

Now, I can't even remember his face."

Du Yu pressed his lips together, momentarily unsure how to comfort this Holy Soldier.

Ashen Arrow: "Endless Cold Beasts, inexhaustible Cold Qi, can't ease the hatred in my heart.

Perhaps, as you said, burning that Youhan Tree is the only way to dissipate my grievances."

Du Yu: "I will definitely cultivate diligently and join you soon to burn that Youhan Tree."

Ashen Arrow: "As you said, your growth is rapid. I know that day is not far."

"Du Yu."

"Hm?" Du Yu turned his head, seeing Liu Juncai and Lin Shihao coming over.

The fact that Du Yu didn't sit at the mud table but huddled in the corner puzzled the two leaders.

Liu Juncai came to Du Yu's front, half-kneeling: "Did the Cold Ashen Arrow say when it would reignite?"

"Huh?" Du Yu tilted his head slightly, looking at the distant muddy window.

Without opening the Eye of Burning Sun, Du Yu saw only pitch black outside the window, not a hint of firelight.

Lin Shihao also half-kneeled.

Their couple seemed like they were going to propose to Du Yu...

Lin Shihao asked: "You gave the Cold Ashen Arrow 3 General-level Demon Crystals, 1 Spirit-level Demon Crystal, and 4 Celestial-level Demon Crystals in total.

Did the Cold Ashen Arrow ever tell you how many more Demon Crystals it needs to reignite?"

Du Yu was puzzled: "It just ignited already?"

The couple exchanged glances, then looked again at the pitch-black night outside the window.

Du Yu: "Wait a moment, I'll ask."

Saying that, Du Yu closed his eyes.

For a brief moment, the couple was completely stupefied.

What does "I'll ask" mean?!

You ask... with your eyes closed?

How do you ask? Could it be...

Thinking this, the two were stunned, looking at each other's eyes filled with shock.

Apparently, Lin Shiwei hadn't mentioned Du Yu's contract with Holy Grade Demon Soldiers.

But for Du Yu, there was nothing to hide.

After all, many people were present, including Du Wentao, Zhao Lin, and two teachers, so such information couldn't be concealed.

"Ashes." Du Yu asked in his mind, "Haven't you ignited yet?"

Ashen Arrow: "No."

Du Yu: "But I clearly saw you ignite earlier?"

Ashen Arrow: "I once had an agreement with the Great Xia Army.

If the Demon Crystal is sufficient, or at the appropriate time, it can reignite.

Right now, I'm in a flickering state.

According to the Great Xia Army, this phenomenon is to give students hope and send a signal to them."

Du Yu: "Oh, I see."

Ashen Arrow: "If you want, I can ignite right now and burn everything in the Burning City."

Du Yu: "..."

So domineering? Just because I want to?

Wow~

Burn me out!

"No, no, no, we're not cheating." Du Yu hurriedly said, "Since you agreed with the army, we'll go as promised."

After all, it's a Holy Grade Demon Soldier.

If you go back on your word, isn't it quite disgraceful?

"As it should be." It was clear that Ashen Arrow was also satisfied with Du Yu's response.

Du Yu also realized that he had narrowly escaped a trial.

Just now, if he had insisted on having Ashen Arrow reignite, it might have caused dissatisfaction within it.

All living things have spiritual senses, let alone Holy Grade Demon Soldiers.

Between a master and a soldier, it's best not to have the slightest barrier!

Du Yu thought for a moment: "I remember, you can only black out for an hour, right? Time is about to run out too."

In Ashen Arrow's peculiar voice, there was rarely a playful tone: "Are you waiting for the time to be up?

There are still your fellow human race members in the city, there are students, there are soldiers."

"Indeed, every second delayed is more dangerous." Du Yu understood the meaning behind Ashen Arrow's words, "I'll deliver the Demon Crystal to you now!

Tell me, how many Demon Crystals do you still need?"

Ashen Arrow: "How about an Emperor-level Demon Crystal?"

"No problem!" Du Yu propped himself up against the wall and stood up.

Lin Shihao and Liu Juncai also stood up, and Du Yu said: "I'll head out again."

Liu Juncai: "Huh?"

Lin Shihao: "You..."

In fact, the person with the biggest reaction after hearing Du Yu's words was Zhu Weizheng in the distance...

Zhu Weizheng felt terribly upset!

Brother, I'm invigilating an exam, and they really didn't pay me much.

Moreover, if I had known I would be risking my life going back and forth with you, I wouldn't come no matter how much they paid!

"Don't worry." Du Yu reassured, patting both their shoulders with both hands.

Then, he turned to Zhu Weizheng: "Instructor Zhu, you don't follow me, I still have to take care of you."

Zhu Weizheng: ???

The scariest thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

Indeed, the room fell silent.

"Just kidding!" Zhu Weizheng, wanting to save face, retorted, "I am professionally ethical... hmm."

His words paused, and he frowned slightly.

It seemed he had received a message through the invisible headphones?

A few seconds later, Zhu Weizheng nodded: "Alright, you go."

This time, it was the students who were dumbfounded.

Du Yu considered for a moment as he looked at the invigilating teacher, then stepped towards Lin Shiwei.

He reached out and tapped the girl's arm, and the Demon Soul appeared in his palm: "This is a trial from Ashen Arrow, I'll do it myself."

Unexpectedly, Lin Shiwei nodded gently: "Okay."

Du Yu was a bit surprised: "Okay?"

Involuntarily, Lin Shiwei smiled and glared at Du Yu.

She reached out, pretending to fix Du Yu's sweater collar, her fingertips exuding a strand of Demon Soul: "You just contracted a Holy Grade Demon Soldier.

With the fortune of having such a Divine Weapon, the relationship between you and your soldier should naturally be well-maintained.

Since it is the Holy Soldier's request, then just listen to it."

Actually, there was another sentence that Lin Shiwei held back from saying.

Ever since witnessing Du Yu contract the Ashen Arrow, she was convinced that Du Yu's life was guaranteed.

For Lin Shiwei, her final exam was already over.

It had ended the moment Du Yu successfully contracted Ashen Arrow.

"Thank you." Du Yu said softly.

In a different situation, if it were Lin Shiwei who wanted to go out recklessly, Du Yu might not be so calm and considerate.

Lin Shiwei patted the already smoothed sweater collar and whispered: "Go, I'll wait for your return."

"Alright~ I promise I'll be back soon!"

...
