~6 min read 1,029 words

"What's your name?"

Ye Qingran asked lightly.

"Di Shitian!"

"Di Shitian?"

Everyone looked at it with a strange gaze.

"Is my name very domineering?"

This is the name it gave itself.

Ye Qingran's mouth twitched.

"I know, Xiao Qing."

Little Azure Dragon hurriedly corrected, "Female demon, I'm not called Xiao Qing, I'm called Di Shitian!"

"I know, Xiao Qing!"

Little Azure Dragon couldn't believe its own ears.

Is the female demon hard of hearing or blind-hearted?

"Xiao Chen, I'm called Di Shitian, not Xiao Qing!"

"Xiao Qing?"

This name really lacks taste!

Little Azure Dragon felt there was a communication barrier with the female demon heaven, so it stopped explaining to her.

As long as Xiao Chen knows it's called Di Shitian, that's enough.

"Xiao Qing? I think this name is pretty good!"

"Huh?"

Little Azure Dragon's anticipation cracked inch by inch on its face.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Little Azure Dragon, "I..." don't like it!

But seeing Xiao Chen's expectant face, Little Azure Dragon swallowed the words that had reached its lips.

"\"Like... \" it exhausted all its strength."

"\"As long as you like it, that's good! \"

Xiao Chen beamed with joy.

Little Azure Dragon: "......" My heart is so tired, I feel like I won't love anymore.

Somehow suddenly, yet somehow naturally, Little Azure Dragon became Xiao Chen's cute pet.

This made Mu Qianqian extremely envious.

"Xiao Chen now has Xiao Qing, Xiao Hu has Xiao Huihui, when will I and Gu Xingyan also encounter a cute spirit beast?"

Although Gu Xingyan didn't speak, his eyes occasionally flashed with envy.

"Mom, if Mu Qianqian and Gu Xingyan encounter a spirit beast they like, can you help them tame it?"

Gu Xingyan and Mu Qianqian looked expectantly at Ye Qingran.

"Of course!"

How could Ye Qingran refuse such an adorable child?

The deeper they went into the oasis, the lusher the vegetation became; in some places, even a few meters apart, they couldn't see each other.

Ye Qingran and the others still took a detour to the north, unlike most people who headed straight west into the deep forest; one can imagine how dense this oasis must be, like an ancient primeval forest.

Ye Qingran kept an eye on Fu Hanxiu, but never sensed his aura.

"Do you feel that the deeper we go, the greener the leaves become?"

Ye Qingran suddenly said.

Everyone nodded in unison.

"It's not just me feeling this way; I thought it was my imagination."

"It seems somewhat unnatural, the greenness is excessive."

After a brief discussion, they continued forward.

The leaves turned from emerald green to dark green, finally becoming a terrifying pale black!

Ye Qingran furrowed her brow.

Clearly, this is not a good omen.

At that moment, a bird call came from ahead.

"Golden Crow!"

Duan Yu whispered, a strange gleam flickering in his eyes.

She is a Beast Tamer, and naturally has a deep understanding of Spirit Beasts.

Just from the sound, she guessed that the caller was the Golden Crow.

"Golden Crow?"

Qin Feixue was startled.

The Golden Crow, also called the Sun Bird, is a being second only to the ancient Divine Beast bloodline.

However, just as the Divine Beast bloodline has become extinct on the continent, the Golden Crow's presence has vanished from human sight for thousands of years.

In the ruins of an ancient battlefield, there is still a Golden Crow?

The few of them were quite surprised.

"It is indeed a Golden Crow, but the call sounds off," Ye Qingran said, rubbing her chin in analysis, "Let's go take a look."

After passing through branches and brushing the leaves for a while, clarity opened up.

Ahead was a sheer cliff thousands of meters high; opposite the cliff was a volcanic crater, its recessed area smoothed by friction.

Suddenly a golden figure darted out of the crater, spiraling in the void, its voice growing increasingly resonant, yet it conveyed a sense of bleakness and sorrow.

"So it is indeed a Golden Crow!"

Hong Wu's eyes flickered with an unusual light.

Though the Golden Crow lacks the noble bloodlines of the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon, it is nonetheless a Spirit Beast second only to the ancient Divine Beast, and its lineage is powerful.

Moreover, compared with the decline of the Vermilion Bird clan, the Golden Crow clan's lineage remains far more flourishing.

Golden Crows often travel in family groups.

A small group consists of two or three, while a large one can reach seven or eight.

Ye Qingran pressed her lips together, but she was not as excited as Hong Wu.

This reaction of the Golden Crow indicates...

At that moment, two more golden lights shot out of the crater; upon closer inspection, they were two Golden Crows, one on each side, clutching another Golden Crow as they flew outward.

The Golden Crow being held was limp and motionless, as if it had already lost its life.

"That Golden Crow... is dead?"

Everyone felt deeply shocked.

They had consecutively seen four Golden Crows, one of which was already dead.

"No wonder the Golden Crow's cry is so mournful; it turns out a companion has fallen!"

Duan Yu sighed.

She instinctively looked at Ye Qingran, but saw her pursing her lips, her expression seemingly solemn.

"Instructor Ye, what's wrong?"

Duan Yu asked, puzzled.

"Look closely at these Golden Crows; black vapors swirl around their bodies."

A chill rose in Duan Yu's heart; upon closer look, it was indeed so.

Especially the dead Golden Crow, its golden plumage's edges tinged with black marks.

"What is happening?"

Ye Qingran pondered briefly, then replied, "If I'm not mistaken, these Golden Crows have already been tainted by Dead Qi."

Just like the Azure Dragon before.

Without external interference, these Golden Crows will soon become puppets.

"What should we do?"

The Golden Crow has been extinct for millennia; if these few are polluted and die, who knows how many years before we see another!

For a Beast Tamer, this is undoubtedly an incalculable loss.

What now?

Ye Qingran lifted the corner of her mouth, a sharp edge in her eyes, "Such a fine Spirit Beast cannot simply vanish so easily."
