Chapter 61: He's a Bit Stupid

She tried releasing a message talisman, and indeed it fell after circling nearby a few times.

"I don't know where this is." For a moment she couldn't tell north from south, and she didn't see the sun.

Jiang Yu jumped onto the flying boat, thickened the protective shield, and flew low at a height of several dozen zhang; flying too high she feared becoming a target, but she needed to quickly scout the nearby terrain.

But unexpectedly, after flying more than ten li, the flying boat suddenly lost control—"Flight prohibition?"

Immediately after, a sharp arrow whistled toward her.

Thud

The arrow indeed struck the snow, but the flying boat fell even faster, nearly touching the ground.

Nothing happens three times.

Jiang Yu's spirit net and four-symbol formation were destroyed one after another, and now she is extremely unwilling to abandon her high-grade flying boat.

This is her best means of transport now; high-speed impact with the ground would certainly damage it.

So she didn't worry who shot the arrow, only pressing hard on the boat's bottom with her toes, increasing her mana to forcefully slow the flying boat.

Each time it was about to hit the ground, it would wobble and fly up a zhang or so; after controlling it for several li like this, the flying boat finally landed smoothly.

Jiang Yu scanned the surroundings, seeing no one, immediately stowed the flying boat, slapped a godspeed talisman on herself, and with a few swooshes moved away.

Not long after she left, a group of cultivators wearing thick fur robes arrived, riding several male deer.

"You run pretty fast."

"Too bad I didn't get a clear look; otherwise, checking back in the city, I would surely punish you severely."

"Maybe it's some young master from a wealthy family seeking excitement."

"Clearly knowing this area naturally prohibits flight, using a magical device might provoke a snow howl, yet he thinks flying here in Ghostsee River is impressive."

"No matter which generation's ancestor, daring to violate the ban and fly here—if I see him again, I'll beat him to death."

"Let's go, let's go; in another hour there will be another black snowstorm, I don't want to get lost in the windy night."

They all slapped the wolf's head, turned, and fled.

Jiang Yu never expected to be mistaken for a young master, but from now on she could no longer use the flying boat.

However, after running continuously for dozens of li, she hadn't encountered a person, let alone a demon beast.

Jiang Yu couldn't help doubting she was about to run out of the snow mountain; seeing it was already late, snow suddenly fluttered down from the sky, and a howling wind rushed at her.

To prevent snow blindness, she took out a silk cloth to cover her eyes, guided direction with her spiritual sense, and holding a spirit stone she sped up her run.

Not long after, Jiang Yu noticed the wind was off; as it swept past her, each gust turned into a ghostly face.

And with wailing ghostly cries, it stabbed painfully into people's hearing and spiritual sense.

If not for her agile body technique, she would likely have been swallowed by that ghost face.

But her soul and ears couldn't endure prolonged torment; seeing the sky now completely dark, she immediately changed her mind, scanning the surroundings for a windbreak.

After finding nothing, she simply chose a nearby open, flat stretch and used a technique to dig a snow cave.

After a brief disguise, she took out her self-made minor five-element formation and laid it inside the snow cave.

As for herself, she flickered into the space, "Jiang Tu?"

The companion still had no response, but from within the Yellow Springs Welcoming Formation came a sobbing groan.

She didn't enter the formation right away, but stood outside the gate and said, "If you're awake, make a sound."

"I have a high-grade healing pill."

"No need, I have pills on me; what formation did you set up? Quickly let me out." Ao Ze pondered for a long while, but no matter how he tried he couldn't get out.

But the aura here was quite familiar; he kept feeling uneasy in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu said even less likely to enter the formation, "Just rest for a day or two, I'll release you in a few days."

"But I haven't yet asked for your name, little dragon king; I am a disciple of the Grand Void Sect, Jiang Yu."

"Dragon King."

"Hehe, what level?"

"Eight level."

"Tch, clearly you're only level seven, your demon core is also sealed, yet you dare to speak boastfully." The little turtle Jiang Tu just woke up.

"Jiang Tu, it's great you're awake; I'll go make some nourishing food, long-distance transmission somewhat affects our souls."

"I'll leave this to you." Jiang Yu stepped forward, lifted it, unable to hide her joy; in an unfamiliar place, having a familiar companion is the best.

Jiang Tu had exactly this in mind: "Give me the formation token."

"You want to enter the formation? Will he hurt you?" Jiang Yu certainly wouldn't say: "You're only level five, he's a whole realm above you—that's nonsense."

Jiang Tu had confidence: "He doesn't have that ability yet; in the same clan, don't you know innate bloodline suppression? I am a true dragon's son."

"Moreover, his demon core is flawed; at most he can exert level-five strength, otherwise I couldn't have defeated him in the Myriad Demon Mountain."

"Alright, if anything goes wrong, exit the formation immediately."

"Also observe the situation within a few li around; this area is all snow mountains, but the wind has color—very strange." Jiang Yu left the important task to him and went alone into the wooden hut to get ingredients.

Jiang Tu raised the formation token, flew into the formation facing Ao Ze, "What crime did you commit against the dragon clan, being forced by the old dragon to use the Five Elements Void-breaking Pearl?"

"Who are you? Where is this?" Ao Ze was on high alert against this turtle that could defeat him; the opponent actually could see his demon core was abnormal.

Jiang Tu floated calmly in midair, looking down at the little brat, his dragon aura slowly expanding, "I am Ao Yu, I can undo your seal."

"You?" Seeing the phantom of its dragon head and turtle back flash past, Ao Ze widened his eyes and forgot to speak.

Jiang Tu disliked his slow reaction; the divine beast's aura suddenly pressed upon him.

Ao Ze's weak body flopped down with a thud; he didn't resist the aura with mana, but said, "This is your dragon pearl space."

"Huh, you do have some insight." Jiang Tu withdrew the aura and stopped before his face, "I'll help you lift the seal, and you'll be my……"

"No, I'd rather die than become the vessel of your dragon pearl." Ao Ze lifted his head, eyes full of stubbornness.

In the moment Jiang Tu hesitated slightly, the tiny person let out a roar and transformed into a dragon body, letting out several dragon roars, which also summoned Jiang Yu who was chopping vegetables.

"You want to fight with spells?" Jiang Yu swapped her kitchen knife for a longsword, rushed into the Yellow Spring Formation, and saw two dragon treasures floating in midair, glaring at each other.

However, Jiang Tu cleverly used a beam of formation light to separate himself and the white little dragon into different formation paths.

Jiang Tu: "No, he recognized this as a space, and then, out of the blue, said that if he didn't become the dragon pearl's artifact spirit, he would transform and attack."

"If you have the guts, drop the formation and fight us face to face." Ao Ze shouted arrogantly from another formation path.

Jiang Yu couldn't help shaking her head. "I can't beat you, but I won't go looking for a seventh-rank dragon clan to serve as your artifact spirit."

Moreover, the dragon pearl already has Jiang Tu as its master—what need is there for an artifact spirit?

"You must be mistaken. Come down and talk properly, or from today onward I will lock the formation to trap the dragon, and thereafter I won't speak with you anymore."

Jiang Tu landed on Jiang Yu's shoulder: "He doesn't even dare say his name, how strange."

"He seems a bit foolish, not suitable to be my guard."

Jiang Yu puzzled: "Why would you want a guard two ranks higher than you?"

"You want me to be a guard, not an artifact spirit?" Ao Ze also asked at the same time.

"Having a guard is impressive, offers protection when you go out, and even the young dragons in the clan have dragon guards." Jiang Tu answered both in one sentence.

Then he asked Ao Ze: "Will you do it? Just sign a few-year dragon god blood contract, and the reward is I'll help you dispel the restrictions and restore your freedom."

"If you do well, I also have a dragon clan secret art to give you as a gift."

Ao Ze understood: "You're not from the Tianyuan Continent."

"Of course."

"Deal."

Jiang Yu: "Jiang Tu, you're taking on a little brother?"

She still hadn't figured out what was going on when she saw Jiang Tu run to the Dragon Stele Hidden Chamber, fetch a golden talisman contract, and the two dragon treasures scribbled on it, made corrections, then on the spot dripped blood to imprint their divine sense.

The contract split in two, each entering their sea of consciousness.
