I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 795 - 538 Terrifying Spiritual Artifact and the Little Monk_2
It's the bowl held in the nun's hand.
Or, maybe "alms bowl" would be more accurate?
Right now, the nun is squatting under a distant tree, holding out the alms bowl towards a pack of wild Wolf Lake Dogs.
"Woof~" A Wolf Lake Dog tilts its head, looking adorably confused.
Another Wolf Lake Dog steps forward, cautiously sniffing the alms bowl.
The fragrance wafting from it intoxicates the Wolf Lake Dogs completely.
The monk leans the alms bowl forward, gently booping the Wolf Lake Dog on the nose.
"Woo?" The Wolf Lake Dog blinks, then, following the Artifact Spirit's guidance, tries spitting out a Little Water Gun.
As the thin stream of water shoots into the alms bowl, the nun looks grateful, nodding and smiling repeatedly.
Du Yu: "..."
Goodness gracious~
Begging for alms, huh?
Everyone else asks for food or veggies, but this Ancient Spiritual Artifact is begging for Demon Skills?
The more he watched, the more shocked Du Yu became.
Because the Wolf Lake Dogs are very friendly and quite happy to help.
A total of five Wolf Lake Dogs fire Little Water Guns together, but the alms bowl in the nun's hands just won't fill up!
The Wolf Lake Dogs have been using Demon Skill·Little Water Gun for over ten seconds, but even after all that, not a single splash is seen in the tiny alms bowl?
Suddenly, threads of lights flicker on; Du Yu turns his head and sees quite a few soldiers' silhouettes in the forest.
At that moment, the nun, after patting the Wolf Lake Dog to show her thanks, stands up slowly, still holding the alms bowl.
The nun ignores the soldiers following her from behind and continues to walk north.
But as soon as she takes a step, she suddenly stops in her tracks.
In the distance, the nun spots a figure blocking her path before the Ancient Banyan Tree.
"Oh?" she wonders in her heart, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The ethereal Dust Spirit Deer,
And that heroic young man atop the deer...
Nice, very nice.
What a pity.
The nun's delighted gaze gradually fades into disappointment.
What a shame,
You're a guy…
Du Yu's eyesight is excellent; naturally he notices the shift in her expression.
He'd heard that this Spiritual Artifact was gentle-tempered and friendly, so he especially rode Bai Yujing over, hoping to leave a good impression.
Clearly, he got the effect he wanted—but the problem is, why did the Artifact Spirit suddenly look disappointed?
Du Yu greeted her, "Hello?"
The nun switched to a gentle smile, nodded slightly, with the air of "A humble monk greets you."
Du Yu asked, "I heard you're looking for someone fated?"
The monk just smiled without replying, silently moving onward at a steady, unhurried pace.
Ancient Artifact Spirits, of course, have no true form.
So technically, what you see is just an alms bowl floating along through the air on its own.
The nun suddenly stopped, halting about ten meters from Bai Yujing.
Her face took on a pleading look, holding out the alms bowl toward the Dust Spirit Deer.
Du Yu: "..."
Bai Yujing blinked her deer eyes: "Nai?"
The nun met the gaze of the confused Beautiful Immortal Deer, and pushed the alms bowl forward again.
"Uh." Du Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Give her a Demon Skill. Let's go with Dust Mist Confusion."
Bai Yujing's list of Demon Skills was kind of special, with only a few fully developed ones.
Under Du Yu's gaze, layers of billowing Immortal Mist were sucked right into the tiny alms bowl.
The scene made Du Yu's jaw drop in awe.
The alms bowl really was absorbing Demon Skills!
In the face of this Ancient Spiritual Artifact, Bai Yujing probably couldn't hide in the mist anymore.
Because the mist Xiaobai created would just get slurped up!
"Bzzzz~ Bzzz~"
Du Yu picked up his phone and answered a call.
On the other end, a middle-aged man's voice sounded, "Sir, this Ancient Spiritual Artifact just emerged, and it desperately wants Demon Skills.
Our guys wanted to give it some Demon Skills and keep it stationed at the place where it showed up.
But this Spiritual Artifact insists on wandering, saying it's looking for a fated person—we didn't dare try to keep it, in case a fight broke out.
It's been begging for Demon Skills this whole way here."
Du Yu: "Mm…"
Soldier: "It needs Demon Skills. Our analysis says it might really need Demon Breath.
If we let it beg the Ancient Banyan Tree, it could affect the entire Demon Spirit Realm.
Its appetite is just too big!"
"Got it, I'll talk to her." Du Yu glanced at the Ancient Banyan Tree, then hung up.
Du Yu gently stroked Bai Yujing's back; Xiaobai immediately stopped releasing Demon Skills.
The nun nodded with a smile, then turned and continued toward the Ancient Banyan Tree.
"Ma'a—uh, Ma'am, Master, please wait a moment." Du Yu fumbled for a while, finally squeezing out "Master" as a title.
While talking, Du Yu's Demon Soul floated out; his real body behind spoke up, "Would you be willing to have a quick chat?"
Who'd have thought, the ever-calm little nun would shake her head repeatedly and hurriedly back up several steps.
The outstretched hand of Demon Soul Du Yu froze awkwardly in midair.
Du Yu: "..."
Alright, my bad for being so forward~
Demon Soul Du Yu zipped back into his body. Du Yu said, "Sorry to trouble you, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, the outline of the Mountain and Sea Bell flashed, and Du Yu and the Immortal Deer instantly vanished.
"Huh?" The nun looked surprised, staring at the spot where they disappeared, clearly sensing the Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
This boy… he also has an Ancient Spiritual Artifact?
Bit by bit, the nun's surprised look faded back into disappointment.
The more she thought about it, the more bummed out she got.
It was so rare to meet a kind-hearted, pure Spirit Master, and with a Spiritual Artifact, too. But why…
Did he have to be a male candidate?
Meanwhile, inside the Mountain Realm.
Du Yu rode the deer down to the Peak of All Mountains; here was only the Jia Rong Grass, not a trace of any Demonic Plant left.
Looking at Lin Shiwei's lonely figure, he asked, "Where's Mengnan?"
Lin Shiwei smiled and was about to answer, when Du Yu felt a breeze beside him.
An invisible gust whipped itself into a tall figure!
Human-Pet Joint Skill·Violent Shadow Wind Trace!
"Ha!" Li Mengnan slapped both of Du Yu's shoulders, aiming to startle him.
But Bai Yujing wasn't having any of that—with a mental warning, she'd already leapt a dozen meters away.
"It's me, Xiaobai." Li Mengnan pouted, unhappy.
Bai Yujing turned her head to look at Li Mengnan, giving her antlers a playful shake, "Nai~"
Du Yu said, "I've reached the quest location. I saw the Ancient Spiritual Artifact; it's an alms bowl."
"Alms bowl?" Li Mengnan blinked, "The kind beggars have?"
"Good grief~" Du Yu was startled, quickly saying, "When you talk to her later, whatever you do, don't say that!
She's doing a religious alms tour, you know."
"Oh." Li Mengnan nodded quietly.
This truly is Silly Mengnan.
Du Yu felt a wave of anxiety deep down.
If we lose a Divine Artifact over a few careless words, that'd be a real joy-killer!
Du Yu briefly described the artifact's abilities, which stirred up waves of shock in the other two's hearts.
Lin Shiwei looked amazed, saying gravely, "It's that powerful?"
Du Yu nodded in strong agreement, "I just don't know what the alms bowl's upper limit is.
If only it could absorb the Ancient Niuniu's Thunder… uh."
Halfway through, Du Yu also realized: Maybe I'm just daydreaming.
But whatever, let's get it first before worrying about that.
After all, it's still an Ancient Spiritual Artifact—there's no way it's weak!
Du Yu said, "You two, bring out Bai Lu and Yiren.
When I first met the alms bowl, I could tell she really liked Dust Spirit Deer."
Before Du Yu could finish, the two from the Yan Organization were already mounting the Dust Spirit Deer.
He actually didn't even need to explain—when it came to Du Yu's orders, they obeyed without question.
"Whew~"
The Mountain and Sea Bell flashed again.
But when Du Yu appeared, the little nun was already gone.
Even though the three from the Yan Organization couldn't find her, all three Dust Spirit Deer under their legs simultaneously turned to the right.
The sight left the soldiers utterly gobsmacked.
It looked just like soldiers training and all looking right in formation...
And to make it even more surreal, these were three massive Beautiful Immortal Deer!
A full trio of Demon General-level Dust Spirit Deer appeared with a flourish,
This kind of epic sight totally blew the soldiers away!
This is freaking Dust Spirit Deer!
Not your everyday Wolf Lake Dog…
"Nai!"
"Nai~" As the three Demon Generals all looked right, the three Yan Organization members on their backs also looked right in unison.
Under the Ancient Banyan Tree,
The young nun was tiptoeing, standing on her toes, stretching out the alms bowl to beg the banyan for alms.
Feeling an overwhelming aura surge over, she looked up at once.
That one look left the nun completely stunned as she stared at the three from the Yan Organization, dumbstruck.
"Nice!" Du Yu secretly nodded in satisfaction.
This is exactly the effect I wanted!
Seriously, line up a row of Dust Spirit Deer like this—who wouldn't be dazed?
I'm telling you, what this king really lacks is more junior sisters!
If only Master Qing would accept a few more for me, I could wrangle myself an entire herd of Dust Spirit Deer…
