Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 459: Vajra Subduing Demon Duck
After sending Shi Yu to Tianjian Kingdom, Susu returned to the Beast Taming Space with a resentful mood.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."
"Dirty, dirty, dirty..."
The poor environmental quality of the nearby sea area made Susu feel extremely depressed.
It wanted to purify it, but the timing wasn't right.
"There's no helping it. This place is relatively close to Minghua, and the water quality over there is indeed not very clean," Shi Yu said cheerfully. "Don't worry, we'll go purify the world after you reach the Totem level."
After saying that, Shi Yu leisurely observed his surroundings.
The Intelligence Bureau's illustrated handbook had a lot of information, but it was all about important matters in Tianjian Kingdom. Some unimportant details, like where this was or which way to go, were completely absent. There was no way they would record such things.
Shi Yu was completely in the dark and could only search for signs of civilization to ask for directions.
He didn't spend much time before finding traces of humans on a small path in the remote wilderness.
Like Tianhu Kingdom, the Human Race was the second-largest race in Tianjian Kingdom. Therefore, in this country, besides the demi-god race, humans were truly below one race and above all others.
However, Shi Yu discovered that this group of people didn't seem to be in a good situation. They were in the midst of a battle, being besieged by fierce beasts.
With a wave of his hand, Shi Yu transformed Qi into a sword, cut through the thorns, and looked into the distance. A group of people was defending against attacks from枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) around a carriage.
"Sha sha sha!"
On the ground and in the sky, more than a dozen brown, leaf-like螳螂 (Tang Lang)-type creatures were wielding large blades, their green eyes locked onto the group below.
Their bloodthirsty expressions made it seem like they wanted to tear them apart and devour them.
[Name]: 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang)
[Attribute]: Wood
[Race Level]: Low-level Commander
[Growth Level]: Commander Level
Besides this group of 螳螂 (Tang Lang), there was also a group of platypuses…
"So, platypuses are indeed quite common in Tianjian Kingdom." Shi Yu looked around. The eight or nine people surrounding the carriage all had platypuses, a High-level Transcendent race, as their pets, as well as the Commander race evolved form of platypuses, 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou).
But it made sense. Tianjian Kingdom was an island nation with many surrounding waters. It would be difficult for the water-type platypus race, which also controlled Water Blade and had a large population, not to become mainstream here.
"Ah!"
But as a middle-aged guard's arm was cut off by a wildly swinging 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang), blood splattering everywhere, Shi Yu felt that their situation was not good.
"Finally found some living people. Ya Ya, Xiao Ji, drive away the insect swarm and help them out. We'll ask for directions." As Shi Yu spoke, a blue summoning array appeared beside him, and a plump blue duck with indifferent eyes appeared first.
"Quack."
It stretched out its duck palm and condensed a Water Blade. Before, it liked to condense the Water Blade into a gun-blade shape, but now that it had come to Tianjian Kingdom, it would do as the Romans do. This time, it directly condensed the Water Blade into a blade shape and held it in its hand.
Sword God Duck was here! What Dual-Blade Tyrannosaurus Rex was just a nobody.
Although its Water Blade proficiency had not been enhanced, it was already approaching perfection. After all, it was the reincarnation of a big shot with extraordinary comprehension. What's more, it had Shi Yu's various top-quality resources for training, as well as a lot of combat experience.
Whoosh!
Ya Ya's blue figure flashed past.
"Miss, we are outnumbered. Continuing like this will be very disadvantageous for us."
"Next, we will try to break through by force. Please be careful."
Inside the carriage, a young woman sat nervously. She carefully opened the curtain. A middle-aged guard stood close to the carriage, sweating profusely, and surveyed the surroundings.
Beside him, a Commander-level pet similar to a platypus but exuding a frosty aura was confronting the 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) in mid-air.
Low-level Commander Race, 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou)!
"Okay… Uncle Da." The woman called Miss had just spoken when she suddenly looked at the sky in panic and said, "They're coming again!"

Low-level Commander Race, 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou)!
"Okay… Uncle Da." The woman called Miss had just spoken when she suddenly looked at the sky in panic and said, "They're coming again!"
"Damn it." The middle-aged guard's body surged with frost energy, activating his Ice-type Enhancement talent. Beside him, the ice blade in the 鸭嘴冰兽's (Ya Zui Bing Shou) hand also exuded cold air as it looked at the two Commander-level 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) attacking from the sky.
The biggest disadvantage was that platypuses couldn't fly to fight against the flying 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang).
The middle-aged guard and the 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou) concentrated all their attention.
The next moment, what surprised the middle-aged guard and the girl in the carriage was that a blue figure suddenly flashed across the sky. It was hard to tell what it was, but it was extremely fast, even faster than the flying 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang). The two 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) attacking from the sky seemed to face a formidable enemy when they saw the blue light and immediately closed their blades to defend.
Boom!
But the next moment, as they touched the blue light, their sharp scythes inevitably dented. Then, their entire bodies deformed. With a huge impact force, the 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang), known as the most ferocious hunter in the forest, flew backward and stirred up a cloud of dust!!
Bang!
At the same time, the owner of the blue figure fell from the sky. The Beast Tamers and the 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) in the midst of battle were attracted by the commotion here. Under Shi Yu's command, Ya Ya acted almost instantly, unleashing two slashes with such power that they sent two beasts of the same level flying.
"Whose platypus is that?!"
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned and couldn't understand. The platypus was just a Transcendent race creature. If it didn't evolve into 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou), it would be very difficult to fight against these Commander-level 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang).
However, this platypus, of unknown origin, displayed extremely powerful strength. It knocked down two Commander-level 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) with one move. Its strength was even a bit stronger than the 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou) in the team.
At this moment, the guards were puzzled because there was no such strong platypus in the team.
"Roar!" What shocked them even more was that, accompanied by a dragon roar, an even more terrifying energy fluctuation spread out. These 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) scattered and fled like startled birds!!
As creatures that bullied the weak and feared the strong, the 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) knew very well what was threatening to them and what was not. The fluctuations from the owner of this roar made them realize that the powerful life that had arrived was a predator at the top of the food chain.
Not escaping meant death.
Their premonition was very accurate.
The huge roar not only scared away the 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) but also turned the faces of this group of people white as they looked at the huge 地行龙 (Di Xing Long) walking out of the forest, which was four meters long.
The heavy body, the weathered scales, the huge size, and the tyrannical dragon eyes…
"It's… it's a 地行龙 (Di Xing Long)!!! We're finished!!"
"How could there be a 地行龙 (Di Xing Long) in this place!"
For them, they could barely deal with a Commander-level insect swarm, but a 君王 (Jun Wang) race 地行龙 (Di Xing Long)…
If it was Commander level, it would be fine, but if it was 君王 (Jun Wang) level, then they definitely had no chance of survival.
"Miss!! No, there's someone on top." The middle-aged man next to the carriage owner was so frightened by the 地行龙 (Di Xing Long) Xiao Ji that his legs went weak. However, as he saw the young man with a long sword standing on the huge 地行龙 (Di Xing Long), his expression changed again!
Furthermore, what surprised them all once again was that the platypus that had easily repelled the two 枯叶螳螂 (Ku Ye Tang Lang) earlier flashed past again, appearing next to the young man like a ninja, also stepping on the 地行龙 (Di Xing Long). "Roar!!" The 地行龙 (Di Xing Long) Xiao Ji roared angrily, causing the group's heartbeats to accelerate violently. However, Xiao Ji was actually angry that Ya Ya, like Shi Yu, was standing on it.
Shi Yu was one thing, but you're just a duck. Are you worthy? Are you worthy?
However, in this situation, it couldn't throw Ya Ya off or flick it off with its tail.
Hindering Shi Yu's pretense was a serious crime.
"Gulp." At this moment, looking at the arriving mysterious expert, the guards who also held swords, as well as the girl in the carriage, all looked over nervously. Soon, the middle-aged man beside the girl, known as Uncle Da, reacted and immediately stepped forward respectfully and said:
"Th-Thank you for saving our lives, Sir."
"If it weren't for your help, we would have suffered heavy losses."
"We have some resources and supplies in the carriage. Please accept them as a thank you for saving our lives."
"Do you know the way to the 魔宗 (Mo Zong)? I'm lost." Shi Yu stood on Xiao Ji and, without paying attention to his words, directly asked the question he was most concerned about.
魔宗 (Mo Zong)!
At this moment, upon hearing Shi Yu mention 魔宗 (Mo Zong), the middle-aged guard's mouth opened slightly, his expression changed, and he said, "Sir, are you going to 魔宗 (Mo Zong)?"
"Yes." Shi Yu's expression remained unchanged.
"Sir, we are from the Chen family of Lingshui County. Thank you for saving our lives. We are also going to 魔宗 (Mo Zong) on this trip. How about you travel with us? When we arrive at 魔宗 (Mo Zong), we will definitely send a more generous gift. My older brother… is an elite inner disciple of 魔宗 (Mo Zong)." At this time, the girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old also got out of the carriage.
She had a beautiful face and clearly came from a good background. However, judging from her temperament, she was somewhat willful, but she was quite restrained in the face of a strong person like Shi Yu.
"You're also going to 魔宗 (Mo Zong)?" Shi Yu said in surprise, "Do you know when the 魔宗 (Mo Zong)'s entry assessment is?"
The middle-aged guard was stunned and said, "Sir, our Miss is going to participate in the 魔宗 (Mo Zong)'s entry assessment. The assessment is in a week, but in another day and a half of travel, we will be able to reach the city surrounding 魔宗 (Mo Zong)."
"…Sir, are you also going to join 魔宗 (Mo Zong)??" He couldn't believe it. He felt that Shi Yu's strength was not inferior to their young master and that he could definitely become an elite inner disciple. Such a genius, hasn't he joined a sect yet? Which family is he from?
"One day? Then I'll go with you. But you're so weak, is it really okay to join 魔宗 (Mo Zong)?" Shi Yu said bluntly.
They were too weak. They were so miserable dealing with a Commander-level insect swarm. Was it really okay to go to the extremely competitive 魔宗 (Mo Zong)?
Even if they said that there was an older brother who was an inner disciple… but Shi Yu estimated that this inner disciple had not even reached the Master level and had no say.
"Uh…" Faced with Shi Yu's questioning, this group of people could only force a smile.
It's not that they were weak, but that Shi Yu was too strong.
Uncle Da said, "Sir, please wait a moment. We'll have the injured bandage their wounds first."
"Please rest in the carriage for a while…"
At this time, Shi Yu recalled Xiao Ji and Ya Ya. The appearance and disappearance of the blue summoning array quickly allowed these people to determine Shi Yu's level. At this time, seeing Shi Yu's Beast Taming level and discovering that he was a Level Four Beast Tamer, everyone was not surprised at all.
However, they were even more impressed. Shi Yu was so young, yet he was only one step away from the Master level. Moreover, he had contracted such a powerful 地行龙 (Di Xing Long). He was simply strong.
After entering 魔宗 (Mo Zong), he could probably become an elite inner disciple soon and have the opportunity to be promoted to a core disciple.
Immediately, Shi Yu slowly walked to the edge of the carriage, not intending to get on. Miss Chen leaned over and said with admiration, "Sir, do you want to join 魔宗 (Mo Zong) for the 金刚河水 (Jin Gang River Water)?"
Shi Yu looked at her.
"Because you have also contracted a platypus. The platypus has two evolutionary paths, one is the Commander race 鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou), and the other is the 君王 (Jun Wang) race 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya). With your strength, Sir, you must want the 君王 (Jun Wang) race."
"One of the conditions for the platypus to evolve into 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya) is 金刚河水 (Jin Gang River Water), and 金刚河水 (Jin Gang River Water) is only available in 魔宗 (Mo Zong), so…"
Shi Yu was surprised.
魔宗 (Mo Zong) also had 金刚河水 (Jin Gang River Water)?
鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou),
伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya) were indeed platypus evolutions.
鸭嘴冰兽 (Ya Zui Bing Shou) was relatively common and not difficult to evolve, while 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya) was actually a characteristic pet of the Minghua region.
There was a sacred river in the Minghua region called 金刚河 (Jin Gang River), which was said to have the ability to cleanse sins and purify filth. It was one of the holy sites of Minghua. The water here, combined with certain conditions, could allow many pets to evolve.
The platypus was one of them.
It could directly evolve from a High-level Transcendent race into a Low-level 君王 (Jun Wang) race 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya).
Although Shi Yu didn't know how the 魔宗 (Mo Zong) of Tianjian Ancient Kingdom had obtained the 金刚河水 (Jin Gang River Water) from Minghua, one of the Seven Kingdoms, it didn't matter.
"Actually, my older brother's platypus evolved into 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya) using the 金刚河水 (Jin Gang River Water) of 魔宗 (Mo Zong). If you have any ideas in this regard, Sir, I can ask my older brother to help you find a solution."
"We'll talk about it after we get to 魔宗 (Mo Zong)," Shi Yu said.
"Okay." Miss Chen nodded.
Actually, Shi Yu wasn't interested in the situation of the other party's family. However, on the way to 魔宗 (Mo Zong), this Miss Chen kept babbling endlessly in his ear.
It was a coincidence that the Chen family's family pet was the platypus. It was precisely because of this that she was so knowledgeable about the platypus's evolutions.
However, Shi Yu didn't care whether it evolved or not. When Ya Ya's strength increased, it could completely "devolve" into an Abyss Demon Duck in one step. What 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya) was dispensable.
However, if Ya Ya had an additional 伏魔鸭 (Fu Mo Ya) form, Susu should be very happy… She would sigh with emotion that Ya Ya had finally made something of itself.
