CHAPTER 47: 042 ONE DEMON CRYSTAL

"Sss!"

A slender stream of water shot onto the ground next to Du Yu, creating a small crater, after which water droplets splashed everywhere!

Du Yu hurriedly dodged and hid behind a tree, but another stream of water shot from the left, and the splashing water droplets just happened to burst onto Du Yu’s body.

"Buzz!" Du Yu’s Demon Breath Battle Robe quivered slightly. This was just the splash damage after the Demon Skill: Little Water Gun contacted the ground. If it hit him directly, it would probably hurt a lot, right?

"Flap-flap-flap~" The sound of a fin on a flying fish kept coming, clearly approaching the big tree where Du Yu was hiding.

"Xiaoyan, set up the turret!" Du Yu wrapped Xiaoyan’s long tail around his neck with one hand, quickly dashed into the forest while holding the Demon Soldier Silver Fire.

As he looked back, he saw seven or eight flying fish aggressively approaching.

The scene looked like a fleet of remote-controlled airplanes, quite a show of force, huh?

"Still chasing, even in this deep forest!" Du Yu muttered under his breath, feeling deceived by the "fish" image of his opponents.

This group didn’t seem to need a water environment very much.

"Poof!"

"Poof~" Another round of water guns shot out, streams of water like water arrows.

"Left... right, left!" Little Fen Yang suddenly spoke up, with the Human Master back online!

Du Yu was overjoyed.

Little Fen Yang, you are my god!

As Du Yu ran and dodged according to the instructions, water streams exploded into small craters on the ground, scattering bits of grass.

This could also be considered the butterfly step through flowers, right?

But unlike Zhang Qiming, who used pure skill and intuition to dodge without eyes in the back of his head, Du Yu was much more advanced, thanks to having a Human Master directing him.

Little Fen Yang: "Xiaoyan, target the one on the left, get ready!"

Du Yu: "..."

It turned out, Little Fen Yang could not only control humans but also command demons.

"Ying!" Xiaoyan was very willing to follow Little Fen Yang’s command, quickly gathering a fireball at her mouth.

Little Fen Yang: "Du Yu, move to the left!"

"Ah."

Little Fen Yang: "Xiaoyan, attack!"

"Ying!"

Just as Du Yu dodged and landed, a fireball shot from Xiaoyan’s face, directly targeting a little flying fish straightening its body.

The eyes of the little flying fish were on the sides of its head, and positioned relatively backward, which meant...

This species of demon beast, the little flying fish, had a blind spot in front of it!

As a result, whenever the little flying fish chased Du Yu’s position or aimed at him, they had to slightly turn their bodies to lock onto Du Yu’s location.

"Bang!" A burst of explosive sound!

Hu Xiaoyan brand fire bullet cannon hit the target right on!

"Tsk tsk." Du Yu clicked his tongue, and although he was running rapidly, he was already imagining the aroma of grilled fish.

"Very good Xiaoyan, let’s continue, gather Spark Splash again!" Little Fen Yang quickly gave orders, continuously commanding, "Du Yu Du Yu, run quickly~"

"Bang!" The fireball exploded.

This time, although it didn’t hit the target, it affected the formation of the flying fish group.

"Flap-flap-flap~" In the surging airwaves, the back fins of the little flying fish flapped erratically, and in pain, some turned back to fly away.

They clearly hadn’t lost their fighting ability, but just fled like this? Their nature was also very clear, another case of bullying the weak while fearing the strong...

Little Fen Yang: "Du Yu Du Yu, it’s our turn!"

Du Yu suddenly stopped his steps, quickly turned around, and drew the bow, nocked the arrow!

"Xiaoyan, cooperate!" Du Yu seemed to want to regain some owner’s dignity, "Shoot!"

"Ying!" A fireball shot out, directly towards a few little flying fish hovering in mid-air at a distance.

The flying fish hovering meant they were watching sideways.

As the fireball approached, the little flying fish immediately dodged.

"Whoosh!" Just then, a fire arrow shot out rapidly, not aiming at the little flying fish, but at the fireball shot by Xiaoyan!

Human-Pet Combination Skill?

Seeing this scene, Little Fen Yang also exclaimed, "Wow~"

Spark Splash is a two-stage damage, but to achieve the second stage explosive damage, the fireball must be detonated first.

Only when the fireball hits a target does it cause an explosion. The fireball cannot be detonated in advance and once shot by Xiaoyan, it’s no longer under her control.

But Du Yu, holding the Demon Soldier Silver Fire, used precise shooting skills to detonate the fireball in advance!

The little flying fish easily dodged, thinking all was well, but unexpectedly, at the moment the fireball brushed past them, a fire arrow followed behind and pierced it directly!

"Boom!" This time the explosive sound was far more intense than before.

Sparks splashed, and heat waves surged!

The scorching Demon Breath directly flipped over the nearby hovering little flying fish, but unfortunately, the explosion point was still a bit far.

Du Yu’s eyes focused, aiming at the largest one, the Demon Soldier Silver Fire suddenly ignited, and a fire arrow shot directly at the little flying fish.

"Whoosh~"

Du Yu frantically infused Fire Demon Breath into the Demon Soldier Silver Fire, and in an instant, the flame groove of the bow handle lit up.

A blazing red fire arrow was instantly enveloped in a layer of dark silver flames!

It was a low-key color, yet appeared so flamboyant in this scene!

"Thunk!" Du Yu released his fingers, and the silver fire arrow shot like a meteor, hitting the target and piercing the fish’s eye.

"Crack... crack..."

It was the sound of cracks spreading through the Demon Breath Battle Robe, and surprisingly, the silver fire arrow was bounced away.

Du Yu’s eyes lit up; first slightly affected by the Spark Splash, and now hit accurately, yet this Little Flying Fish’s Demon Breath Battle Robe hasn’t shattered!?

Could it be a Peak of Mortal Level Demon Beast? That should yield a Demon Crystal!

Du Yu didn’t expect happiness to come so suddenly; he hurriedly drew his bow and nocked an arrow: "Xiaoyan, let’s continue to cooperate!"

"Ying!"

The Little Flying Fish floundered wildly on the ground, unable to use its fin wings, completely returning to its fish instincts, relying solely on its tail to jump around chaotically, leaping everywhere.

However, in Du Yu’s eyes, there were no other creatures.

The Little Flying Fish flailing its tail wildly on the ground was already covered in silver flames, with a continuous sound of cracking.

"Maximize Spark Splash, constant output." Du Yu drew the bow and nocked the arrow, his eyes locked on the Little Flying Fish, commanding softly.

A crisp "Pa" sound.

The Little Flying Fish’s tail slapped heavily on the ground, and the entire fish bounced up.

Heroic Bronze·Swimming Leap!

Taking advantage of the leap, the Little Flying Fish’s dorsal fins once again flapped with effort, turning around and fleeing, wiggling crookedly.

Maintaining his aiming posture, Du Yu quickly sidestepped forward: "Xiaoyan!"

"Ying!"

Heroic Bronze: Spark Splash!

Though called Heroic Bronze, it was actually Unyielding Silver!

Maybe the Little Flying Fish’s Demon Breath Battle Robe could withstand Du Yu’s arrow output, but as long as it remained a Mortal Level creature, it could never withstand Xiaoyan’s Spark Splash.

Whoosh!

A fireball shot out again, with both strength and speed at their peak; it was clear that Xiaoyan was giving it her all, yet...

Yet the fleeing Little Flying Fish wiggled awkwardly, moving up and down.

Things didn’t look good!

Du Yu halted, sliding forward half a meter due to inertia.

The Demon Soldier Silver Fire no longer aimed at the Little Flying Fish, but rather aimed at the fireball.

"Boom!"

Flames exploded, heat waves churned!

Sparks erupted above the Little Flying Fish’s head, exploding, blasting the Little Flying Fish directly onto the ground.

Vaguely, Du Yu seemed to hear the sound of the Demon Breath Battle Robe shattering?

Du Yu swiftly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, disregarding the silver fire arrow, directly shooting out a red fire arrow.

"Sizzle!"

Direct hit on the fish’s belly!

The fire arrow pierced through the fish’s belly, nailing the Little Flying Fish into the ground, and the fire arrow continued to burn fiercely.

Du Yu hurriedly drew his bow and nocked an arrow again, while the fox cannon on his shoulder, Xiaoyan, was already poised to fire, another fireball shot out.

This time, it didn’t need to be preemptively detonated.

Du Yu stiffened, watching helplessly as the fireball touched the struggling Little Flying Fish, watching the flames engulf it...

Oh, how tragic!

"Ying~" Xiaoyan was extremely happy, her long tail hooked around Du Yu’s neck, her furry little head nuzzling against the side of Du Yu’s face affectionately.

Cooperative battle between human and pet is clearly an excellent way to enhance their bond.

Feeling all this, Little Fen Yang was a bit envious of Xiaoyan. It’s a pity, really; I’m still in a remnant soul state, unable to nuzzle Du Yu’s cheek...

As the sparks dissipated, Du Yu stepped forward and sniffed the air; inside a not too big or small dirt pit, a grilled fish was emitting a fragrant aroma.

He carefully stepped forward, pinching the charred fish tail with his fingers, lifting the fish, which was about 40 cm long.

One side was raw, the other was charred.

Master Yan’s cooking skills needed further improvement.

Master Du immediately pulled out the student-issued outdoor knife. Although his technique was a bit clumsy, the quality of the knife mattered more.

If it didn’t evolve, Little Flying Fish would live for 20 years before dying naturally, yet this Little Flying Fish had just arrived in this world not long ago before Du Yu sent it off.

What does that mean?

Less trouble for 20 years!

To repay Du Yu, the Little Flying Fish left behind a shiny Demon Crystal.

"It really is a Peak of Mortal Level Demon Beast." Du Yu picked up the dice-like Demon Crystal, feeling slightly incredulous.

Could we really?

Du Yu turned his head to look at Xiaoyan, the output intensity of the Silver-level Demon Skill had obviously provided more possibilities for Du Yu.

Perhaps we should take on the sixth task and face the Double-leaf Grass Snake infested with cold qi?

"Ying~" Xiaoyan stared at the Demon Crystal in Du Yu’s hand, licking her lips with her pink little tongue, looking very tempted.

"Xiaoyan, let’s save this for now; Teacher Qingqing’s task for us is to collect three Demon Crystals." Du Yu explained, before taking a sandwich cookie from his pocket and handing it to Xiaoyan’s mouth.

"Ying." Xiaoyan obediently accepted it; the Firethorn Fruit Jam cream filling in the biscuit was indeed delicious.

Du Yu placed the Demon Crystal into his backpack, contemplating silently whether to continue fishing.

Mortal Level Little Flying Fish only have one form of output, the Little Water Gun. As long as one is careful, it’s easy to dodge.

Although they can fly, land is ultimately not their stronghold and they are far less agile than in water... Let’s do it!

Getting more Demon Crystals can allow Xiaoyan to absorb them, or exchange them for points at the Demon Spirit Bookstore.

A new Demon Pet is about to join the team, meaning another mouth to feed, so I need to earn more.

"Get your spirits up! Xiaoyan, let’s go again!"

"Ying!"
