I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 1080 - 679: Jiang Feng’s Foolish Fire (Part 2)

"I’m not sure, I just arrived at the Twenty-Ninth Bureau." Jiang Feng shook her head.Du Yu propped his elbow on his knee, tilted his head, and looked at the cool Senior Sister: "How did Master Qing invite you?"

Jiang Feng was silent for a while and then said, "Master Qing said there are many ways to protect this world, and there’s no need to be obsessed with the military."

Du Yu nodded: "Anything else?"

Jiang Feng: "Her future path is treacherous and she needs a helper, someone she can trust."

Du Yu spoke: "You have great courage, Senior Sister, heading into the Tiger Mountain."

This time, Jiang Feng didn’t respond.

Not only did Master Qing teach her everything, but she also saved her life, more than once.

But the reason Jiang Feng came wasn’t solely because of that.

As the saying goes: Loyalty and filial piety cannot both be achieved.

It must be stated that the "loyalty" here means loyalty to Jiang Feng herself.

Jiang Feng had long known that Yang Qingqing led her disciples to join the Twenty-Ninth Bureau, while only she wandered outside.

Even so, Jiang Feng never considered retiring from the unit.

And now, when Master Qing said to destroy the Cold Tree, Jiang Feng came.

Jiang Feng joined the army at only 16 years old.

By then, she had been awakened for over four years, and the Demon Spirit Squad was naturally willing to accept such a rare talent.

But the question is, why did this promising young girl suddenly drop out and insist on joining the Demon Spirit Squad?

Because a suddenly opened Bottomless Abyss took away everything from her.

That suddenly collapsing ground destroyed half of a town, including the apartment building inhabited by her family of four.

Her family, her life, her hopes and dreams for the future, including herself...

All fell into the Bottomless Abyss.

It was summer, twelve years ago, a midsummer night,

that girl fell into the dark abyss, and until now, she has not climbed out.

"What power tier is Senior Sister at now?" Du Yu asked curiously.

Jiang Feng looked into Du Yu’s eyes, not answering: "You chopped down a Cold Tree and flattened a Bottomless Abyss."

Du Yu was taken aback, then gently nodded: "Senior Sister watched our Paper Crane Disciple’s exam footage?"

Jiang Feng shook her head: "The footage hasn’t been released yet, Master Qing told me."

"It’s been ten days, and still not aired." Du Yu muttered softly, guessing the editing of this exam footage was tricky?

What can be broadcasted, what can’t, and how to clearly convey Great Xia’s intent, there must be many editing requirements?

Jiang Feng: "Master Qing revealed to me that our attack against the Cold Tree will continue."

"Yes." Du Yu affirmed, "But we can’t be too hasty, we have to proceed steadily."

Jiang Feng naturally agreed with Du Yu’s words.

Du Yu slightly raised his eyebrows: "Why, does Senior Sister also have thoughts about the Cold Tree?"

Jiang Feng silently watched Du Yu, yes, I have thoughts about the Cold Tree.

Many thoughts.

"Snap~"

Du Yu slapped his forehead: "Of course, Senior Sister is a Demon Spirit Soldier, always working in the Bottomless Abyss, naturally wants to destroy the Cold Tree."

Fu Jianzhou, sitting beside them, brought the conversation back: "What’s Senior Sister’s power tier now?"

Although Fu Jianzhou is two years older than Jiang Feng, according to the apprenticeship timeline, he is still the junior brother.

Jiang Feng: "Demon Taming General·Peak."

Du Yu’s eyes lit up: "Senior Sister is amazing!"

Jiang Feng fell silent again; she had been awakened for 18 years, while the young man before her was also a Demon Taming General but had been a Demon Tamer for just 2 years.

Someone once told her that if not for being preoccupied with missions, if she could devote herself entirely to cultivation, her achievements would certainly be beyond this.

But...

Where are there so many ’ifs’?

If there had been an ’if’ on that night twelve years ago, she wouldn’t have joined the army.

Du Yu: "What are Senior Sister Jiang’s Demon Pets? I’d like to know."

For a moment, Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan, sitting opposite, both perked up their ears.

Jiang Feng responded succinctly: "Summer Nightingale, Ghost Skull, Mud Soul Imprisonment, Mud Po Goddess Sculpture, Yunnan Colorful Elephant."

"Senior Sister also has a Yunnan Colorful Elephant?"

"I major in Earth, provided by the unit."

"Oh." Du Yu saw the characteristics of Jiang Feng’s Demon Pet combination.

Understandably, Ghost Skull possesses Earth Attribute as well.

In other words, aside from functional Demon Pets like the Wind-type Demon Pet·Summer Nightingale, all of Jiang Feng’s other Demon Pets are Earth Element.

The girl sitting across, Li Mengnan, opened her mouth to inquire, "Senior Sister Jiang, you seem to be missing a Demon Pet?"

When Demon Tamers first awaken, within the tier of Demon Tamer Prentice, they can contract two Demon Pets.

After that, with each level-up, they can contract one more.

Therefore, Jiang Feng, as a Fifth Level·Demon Taming General, should possess six Demon Pets.

Jiang Feng looked at the stunningly beautiful girl across from her and said softly, "I am a Savior."

Savior?

No wonder she must leave one Acupoint Home vacant.

Previously, Master Qing and Senior Brother Fu were also like this, and even now, Master Qing, who has already contracted the Sorrow Seabird, still keeps one Acupoint Home vacant.

Savior, which means an All-elemental Demon Tamer!

The kind of person with the most explosive talent!

One can roughly discern a person’s temperament and disposition from a Demon Tamer’s Demon Pet configuration.

Whether it’s Mud Soul Imprisonment or Ghost Skull, it all indicates Jiang Feng’s toughness.

And being an All-elemental Demon Tamer, apart from the Summer Nightingale indispensable to the squad, she contracts only Earth Element Demon Beasts, further expressing Jiang Feng’s inner resilience.

Amongst countless Demon Pets in the world, an All-elemental Demon Tamer can contract anything!

Various techniques, wind, fire, thunder, lightning, they surely exist within the bodies of Demonic Beasts of various attributes.

But Jiang Feng hasn’t been dazzled and has single-mindedly cut off other paths, stubbornly following the Earth Element path alone.

Might there be a story behind this?

The airplane fell silent, Jiang Feng lowered her gaze, only occasionally glancing at Du Yu beside her.

"Senior Sister." Du Yu emerged from his contemplation.

"Hmm?"

Du Yu organized his words: "Since we met, your gaze toward me has been somewhat... hmm, do you have something you wish to say to me?"

Jiang Feng: "I’m very curious how you managed to cut down the Cold Tree. Master Qing said, perhaps only you in the world can achieve this."

"Ah, I see." Du Yu’s face showed a hint of a smile.

Surely she was very proud when she said it.

Du Yu spoke again: "I was lucky to obtain a Spiritual Artifact, a axe, it helped me cut the Cold Tree."

"Spiritual Artifact." Jiang Feng lifted her head, her dark eyes beneath the brim of her hat swept over a few people, "You all have Spiritual Artifacts."

"Each Spiritual Artifact has different effects." Du Yu explained, "This axe of mine can inflict fatal damage on Cold Trees."

"Oh." Jiang Feng bowed her head and responded softly.

Du Yu propped his elbow on his knee, turned his head to look up at the woman’s eyes hidden beneath the hat brim: "Senior Sister will have a Spiritual Artifact too."

Jiang Feng looked at the young man beside her. Unsure whether to describe his movement as more aggressive, or as slightly mischievous.

She had just come from the discipline-strict troops and was evidently still adapting to the style of this squad.

Jiang Feng spoke softly: "But your Spiritual Artifact axe is just an exception. Not all Spiritual Artifacts can overthrow Cold Trees."

Therefore, Master Qing indicated that only Du Yu in the world can cut down the Cold Tree.

Du Yu: "Senior Sister is very persistent about cutting down the Youhan Tree?"

Jiang Feng: "That’s my honor."

"The Void Axe indeed is unique, other Spiritual Artifacts may hardly harm Cold Trees." Du Yu spoke, "But every ancient Spiritual Artifact is a king within its domain.

Spiritual Artifacts can greatly enhance our power in some aspect, possibly even several aspects."

Jiang Feng nodded lightly, "Hmm."

Du Yu said with a smile: "Eventually, Ancient Spiritual Artifacts will accompany us together, to topple that single Youhan Tree."

Although there are countless Cold Trees in the world, Du Yu’s phrasing was evidently referring to a specific one.

Jiang Feng understood her junior brother’s meaning: "You mean the one in Bottomless Kunlun."

She still misunderstood, but it can’t be considered wrong, after all, these two worlds’ Youhan Trees... hmm, it’s only a matter of time.

Du Yu shrugged his shoulders: "When killing, one must kill thoroughly, when cutting trees, one must uproot."

Jiang Feng stared blankly at Du Yu, although he was smiling while speaking, his eyes showed no trace of humor.

Within those overly bright eyes, there seemed to be a fire burning.

After a long time, Jiang Feng smiled as well, but she didn’t want to show it.

She silently hid the lower half of her face within the high black camouflage collar.

Yes, captain.

I understand.
