Don’t, don’t scold anymore...
Du Yu suddenly felt an urge to cry.
The Supre Treasure of the Demon Taming World is right at our feet—who wouldn’t want it?
But thinking about it, this Bottomless Pit has already been thoroughly explored by the officials. If the Demon Fire still hasn’t been claid, then it must be that no one can actually reach its location.
At this thought, Du Yu felt even more disappointed.
Maybe even the top Demon Tars avoid the cold Qi 500 ters down.
Little Fen Yang sensed Du Yu’s emotions and, unexpectedly, changed her tone, softly comforting him: "Du Yu Du Yu~ Let’s just wait until we’re stronger to co back!"
"Mm..."
Little Fen Yang: "Just stumbling upon it is a huge surprise! The world is so big, even the strongest people might never find it. Now that we’ve locked onto the Demon Fire’s location, one day, we’ll be the ones to get it!"
"Alright." Du Yu let out a long sigh. Anyway, having a goal is always a good thing.
What if it’s not that no one can reach it—just that this particular Demon Fire hasn’t been discovered yet?
"Co on, Du Yu, let’s head to the next level. Let get a clearer feeling." Little Fen Yang urged him nonstop.
"Celestial Treasure Race Demon Beast·Water Charm Illusion Spirit." Li ngnan said softly, "And this one is even an Earth-level Demon Beast!"
Du Yu snapped back to reality, gazing toward the distant battlefield.
The Earth-level Demon Beast· Water Charm Illusion Spirit had already been slain on the spot. The competitors clearly didn’t want to get jamd up here again. The relatively narrow terrain made it impossible for them to fight properly.
With the lesson learned just now, the contestants quickly dispersed, scattering at every fork in the tunnels.
Du Yu and Li ngnan moved on right away. At the first intersection, he grabbed her sleeve and suddenly turned left.
Li ngnan still didn’t know that Du Yu was a "walking map," but she didn’t object. For the last few forks, there’d always been soone clearing the way.
Du Yu frowned slightly. "Another Water Charm Illusion Spirit."
Up ahead, another small battle group entered their sight—a guy and a girl working together very smoothly, so much so that the female soldier demon didn’t even have a chance to fight back.
Du Yu hadn’t even walked up when the female soldier let out a miserable shriek, turning into a thick fog that scattered in the air.
But it didn’t drop a Demon Crystal, clearly just a Mortal Level creature, not even at the Peak of Mortal Level yet.
The unfamiliar pair glanced at Du Yu and Li ngnan, said nothing, and quickly left.
"Are all the enemies on this floor Water Charm Illusion Spirits?" Li ngnan guessed softly. "Look, that battle up front—also a female soldier."
Three enemies in a row, all in the form of female soldiers, their bodies twisted like puppets on strings—obviously, all Water Charm Illusion Spirits in disguise.
"Mm..." Du Yu walked close along the wall, passing by the little skirmish with Li ngnan. "The enemies on this level were probably handpicked by the officials."
First, wild Demon Beasts might not have fully learned their Demon Skills.
Second, for the Water Charm Illusion Spirit, the First Demon Skill·Enchanting Illusion isn’t that easy to grasp.
Most importantly, this is Demon Spirit Realm·Bottomless!
Most of the Demon Beasts here have been invaded by the cold Qi, their reason devoured. These beasts may fight purely on instinct, not even using any Demon Skills.
All signs indicate that Du Yu’s enemies were probably specifically selected by the officials.
This was Du Yu’s thought, and he shared all his deductions aloud.
Why?
To rack up big points!
The audio and video feed goes live—this smooth little deduction should at least earn two extra points, right?
"Makes sense!" Li ngnan nodded repeatedly, a gust of Wind Demon Breath swirling across her forehead. A Little Wizard quietly appeared. "Let’s use wind to scatter the water mist!"
Every ti Wind Witch erged, it would give its master a kiss, but not this ti. Its knitted little face looked nervous, scanning the surroundings warily.
Li ngnan held the little wizard in her hand, gently poking its knitted cheek. "Don’t absorb any Demon Breath, listen to all my instructions—your Demon Breath is precious!"
Wind Witch: (￣.￣)
Du Yu hesitated for a mont, but still didn’t summon Little You Ying—prioritizing conserving strength, at least until the second level. Plus, who knows what kind of demon beast commander will pop out for the third ti...
After winding through several turns, the number of battles dwindled. Du Yu stopped at a fork in the tunnel.
In the distance, the dark corridor crackled with thunder and lightning, and a girl’s sharp cries rang out continuously.
It seed she’d noticed people coming—ponytail girl yelled loudly, "Hey! You guys over there, help out!"
"Ah!!!" The twisted female soldier let out a piercing screech, her claws gleaming as she viciously slashed at the girl, leaving five long traces of mist in midair.
Ponytail girl hurriedly leapt back, electric sword pointed forward. "Explode!"
On her shoulder, a pure white Lightning Cat quickly ford a Thunder Ball and launched it forward.
The ball of electricity exploded on the female soldier, crackling with lightning!
With a sizzling sound, the female soldier staggered back, but didn’t dissolve into mist—instead, her screams grew even more shrill: "Aaaah!"
"I told you to help—can’t you hear ?" Ponytail girl retreated quickly toward Du Yu and Li ngnan, also yelling shrilly.
Li ngnan had just reached the edge of the fight, ready to strike with her sword, but hearing this, she imdiately bristled: "What, do we owe you or sothing?"
Ponytail girl’s eyes widened, turning to glare at Li ngnan!
It’s like...she really believes the whole world owes her, huh.
"ow!" The Lightning Cat on her shoulder yowled, bristling up. The girl panicked, slicing wildly with her sword while dodging to the side, slamming her shoulder into the opposite wall.
Li ngnan bent her legs and leapt back at the sa ti.
A few steps behind, Du Yu quickly nocked an arrow, just in case. Everything happened so fast—even he hadn’t expected Li ngnan to stop fighting.
"Screech!" The misty claws tore deep grooves into the thick wall.
The female soldier propped herself up with one hand, completely ignoring Du Yu and Li ngnan nearby. Sanity long gone, her eyes saw only one enemy—
The enemy she absolutely loathed!
"Slash!" Du Yu shouted, "ngnan!"
Though Li ngnan was cheesed off at ponytail girl, she still listened to Du Yu’s command.
Even before "ngnan" left his mouth, the Demon Sword Array on her hilt lit up—she sliced horizontally at the female soldier pressed against the wall!
The female soldier, supporting herself on the wall, was twisting her head and glaring venomously at the unfamiliar girl, scarlet eyes blazing with hate, desperate to tear her apart!
These beings, their sanity consud by cold Qi, are completely unreasonable. Li ngnan was just a ter away, but in those eyes, she simply didn’t exist...
In a flash, as the female soldier lunged forward, she ran herself right into Li ngnan’s Demon Soldier Sword.
Is this what they call a two-way charge?
The female soldier used her own throat to run herself onto the blade!
"Crack!" With a crisp noise, her Demon Breath Battle Robe shattered to pieces!
The long sword, empowered by the activated Demon Sword Array, flashed with dazzling light—beheading her and even carving a deep gouge in the wall.
The female soldier’s head was hacked clean off!
She looked like a mortal body, but as soon as her head separated, it turned to mist and exploded.
All that was left was the crooked body, which collapsed to the ground and dissolved quietly.
A cold-mist-shrouded Demon Crystal dropped from the place where the head had turned to mist, rolling to the wall and landing at Li ngnan’s feet.
Ponytail girl’s chest heaved violently as she pressed against the wall, still shaken, eyes locked on as Li ngnan picked up the Demon Crystal.
"Let’s go." Li ngnan didn’t bother with the girl, grabbing Du Yu’s sleeve and leading the way forward.
"Hey, you two!" Ponytail girl’s face was ugly. "You’re just taking the Demon Crystal?"
Li ngnan turned to the unfamiliar girl, demanding, "I just saved your life, and you still have the nerve to ask for the Demon Crystal?"
Ponytail girl stood up, glaring at Li ngnan. "We’re the Human Army—in battle, we’re supposed to help each other. Everyone outside is watching through the caras!
Everyone’s performance, the whole world can see it! That Water Charm Illusion Spirit was already heavily wounded by , so the Demon Crystal should—it should be... don’t leave! You stop right there!"
The girl shouted, but Li ngnan and Du Yu only walked further away, ignoring her completely.
"Bitch!" The hatred in ponytail girl’s eyes was about to overflow. She knew the caras were live, but still couldn’t help cursing under her breath.
"ow~" The Lightning Cat nudged her face, as if disliking her mood just then.
Ponytail girl stood there for a long while before finally getting up, gripping her sword tight and following after them.
In the distance, Du Yu and Li ngnan stopped at a crossroad, listening to the miserable screams coming from the pitch-black hallway on the right.
"Are you okay?" Du Yu asked quietly.
Li ngnan was clearly furious, her hand clutching her sword hilt trembling slightly. "How can soone like that exist—she really thinks the world owes her!"
"Forget it." Du Yu nocked an arrow, the Demon Arrow Array on the bow handle slowly lighting up.
He slid sideways, making sure to shield Li ngnan behind him and keep his eyes out of the caras’ view. Then, his eyes were imdiately tinted a pale red.
Eye of Burning Sun—the Locking Eye, the Night Vision Eye!
In a flash, the dark hallway beca crystal clear in his sight!
Two swaying, distorted female soldiers were fighting, and another one sat alone, sobbing into her hands—the scene was eerily disturbing.
Du Yu hesitated, then slowly dropped to one knee.
"Whoosh!" In the next mont, a blazing Fire Arrow shot out.
"Whew..." Li ngnan let out a long breath, slowly opening her eyes as her surging emotions finally cald.
And when she opened her eyes, she saw sothing strange.
The burning silver arrow streaked over the crying Water Charm Illusion Spirit’s head, piercing directly into the two wrestling, clawing Water Charm Illusion Spirits.
The dark corridor flickered with light as all three Water Charm Illusion Spirits, burning with Silver Fire, staggered madly and scread shrilly as they scattered.
"Wow, second bro!" Li ngnan’s attention was finally diverted. She praised, "This move rocks—opens vision and marks the enemies!"
Du Yu shook his head. "We’re on point now, no one’s clearing the way up ahead. It’s a last resort. Can’t use it much—activating the Demon Arrow Array burns a lot of Demon Breath."
Li ngnan: "Oh..."
Little Fen Yang: "Actually, it’s totally fine~"
Du Yu: "Huh?"
Little Fen Yang: "Sister ngnan is right, you really are silly, Du Yu~ All the cold Qi here avoids you now."
Du Yu: !!!
Little Fen Yang: "They totally loathe you!"
Hearing this, Du Yu couldn’t help but feel a rush of joy, but still double-checked: "So I can absorb Demon Breath now?"
Little Fen Yang: "Yup~ I’ll keep watch for you too, don’t worry, silly Du Yu."
"All right!"
