老龟妖明显感觉到了悠悠的紧张,安慰道,“竹叶门是唯一一道通往灵妖练习场的大门。小灵妖们就在下面练功。”他说着往下点了点头。
悠悠顺着他的目光往下望去,果然见到好多小动物,有老虎,熊猫,大象,长颈鹿,兔子,熊……他们有的在对打练武,有的在认真看书写字,有的水边玩耍。
随着竹叶的越飘越低,小灵妖们见到老龟妖来了,都紧张了起来,就连刚才在玩耍的小灵妖们都一本正经地回到原位,装模作样地练起功来。
其实不仅小灵妖们紧张,悠悠也很紧张,他长这么大也没同时见过这么多浑身长毛,尖爪利齿的动物,吓得他浑身发抖。他咬着牙硬挺着,不停告诉自己,那些不是普通动物,那些是灵妖,是可以救他家人、朋友的伙伴。
竹叶飘到离地一米高的时候,慢慢停了下来。显然,小灵妖们对老龟妖的这种出场方式很熟悉了,他们迅速排好了队,一边用好奇的眼神打量着悠悠,一边低声讨论着什么。
老龟妖清咳一声,示意小灵妖们安静,然后他慢慢说道,“你们应该已经听说了,创世之神带走了人界的人类,这个人类小孩儿希望可以借助妖界的力量找到创世之神,保住人界。谁愿意跟他一起去‘彩云之巅’呀?”
老龟妖话音未落,就看到小灵妖们窃窃私语。有的摇头,有的往后退,有的干脆躲在朋友的身后……过了好长时间,竟然没有一只灵妖愿意去。
老龟妖看了眼失望的悠悠,又清咳了一声,说道,“虽然天空之路路险且长,但是外面的世界会很精彩,途中会遇到很多有意思的事,吃到很多好吃的东西,见到很多特别的景色……不仅如此,凡是能够到达‘彩云之巅’的妖类,法术都可以成倍地增强,所以这对你们来说,是一次极好的修行机会。愿意跟他一起去‘彩云之巅’的灵妖们可以站出来。”
一听说可以遇见很多有意思的事,吃到各种好吃的东西,法力还可以成倍增强,小灵妖们的眼睛都亮了。他们相互看了一眼,不一会儿,有几只小灵妖们挺了挺胸,站了出来,声称要帮助悠悠去“彩云之巅”。有了带头作用,剩下的小灵妖们也有了勇气,一个个地都站了出来。
老龟妖看了眼底下踊跃的小灵妖们,对悠悠慢慢说道,“竹叶门载不动这么多灵妖,你选三个小灵妖吧。”
一开始没有灵妖愿意去,悠悠很难过。现在这么多灵妖都想去,悠悠又很犯难。
选谁好呢?
他目光扫过信心满满的小灵妖们,一个个绒毛利爪,看得他浑身不舒服。忽然,他的目光落在了右边一个不起眼的角落,那里有一只小乌龟正在看着他!
小龟妖!
悠悠马上想到老龟妖变化莫测的法力和风驰电掣的速度,心里暗喜。他觉得小龟妖的法力就算没有老龟妖强,但一定也是十分厉害的。于是他毫不犹豫地定下了他的第一个同伴----那只站在角落的小龟妖。
至于第二个同伴,悠悠选择了一只没有长毛利爪的小长颈鹿妖。这是他能接受的极限了。而且他觉得长颈鹿长得这么高,一定可以看得很远。如果他们迷了路,长颈鹿妖一定可以利用身高的优势,帮助他们找到前面的路。

The old turtle demon saw that Yoyo was scared so he said,“This bamboo leaf is the only way to the demon training spot. The small demons train on the mountains a few metres below us.” As the old turtle demon said this, he also looked at the mountain below and nodded.
Yoyo copied and looked down at the mountain below him. He saw such a crowd of small demons, there were tigers, pandas, elephants, giraffes, rabbits etc. Some of them were boxing and fighting, some of them were reading and writing and some of them were splashing and giggling.
Then the bamboo leaf floated down and revealed the vision of the old turtle demon. As soon the small demons saw the old turtle demon, then they instantly went to position.
The demons were not the only animals that were scared. Yoyo was also in dead fright. He’d never seen so many furry animals in his whole life! Even though he was in dead fear, his legs were trembling, his teeth were chattering, however, he told himself to stay strong. He knew that these animals were small demons and they were the only hope to find his parents his sister, his classmates and his friends.
Then the leaf floated lower and lower until it was one metre of the ground, and then it stopped. The small demons are used to the way that the old turtle demon floats down on a leaf to check on them. However; this time Yoyo was the person that caught their attention. At one time, they were looking at Yoyo, the next they were chatting about Yoyo.
The old turtle demon said “AHEM!!”
The small demons stood in dead silence as if they’d lost their words. After, the old turtle demon said,“You small demons should know that pharaoh Exodus took everyone from the human world. Yoyo is the only person left in his world. You small demons are one of our only hopes of retrieving every human being that Exodus from the human world to the Heavenly World. So, who wants to join and help Yoyo on this exclusive journey to the Heavenly World?
As the old turtle demon said this speech, all the demons started chatting about if they should go or not. Some of the small demons shook their heads, some of them walked back, some of them even hid behind their friends back. After a really long amount of time … not even a small demon wanted because they thought it was way too dangerous and too risky.
The old turtle demon looked at the crowd of small demons and felt sorry for Yoyo. So, he said,“Even though the Silver Road to Heaven is a really dangerous long away and it will stretch really far around the galaxy, you will also get to eat yummy food, good scenery and if you do arrive at the Heavenly world, your powers will increase dramatically. I really recommend you to go with Yoyo on this journey to the Heavenly World. Now who wants to join Yoyo on this exciting journey?”
As soon as the old turtle demon finished persuading the crowd, the small demons started thinking about the delicious food, the awesome scenery and their over powered powers. After a little while, some of the demons stood straight and wanted to go with Yoyo. Others started saluting. Some small demons watched the other small demons and got persuaded, and they eventually wanted to go. Then the whole crowd of small demons wanted to go with Yoyo.
The old turtle demon looked at the crowd again and said to Yoyo,“this bamboo leaf cannot hold so many demons so I would allow you to take 3 demons with you.”
At first, no small demons wanted to go with Yoyo, Yoyo was very sad. But now, everyone wanted to go, Yoyo didn’t know what to do.
“What should I choose?” thought Yoyo.
Yoyo scanned the crowd left and right. Every time Yoyo looked at an animal with fur and claws, he started to feel rather dizzy. After scanning the room for a while, a small turtle demon caught Yoyo’s sight. This turtle really wanted to go with him.
“Small turtle demon!!” Yoyo said to himself.
Yoyo thought about the old turtle demons powers and thought the small turtle demon might have the same powers. Yoyo made up his mind and picked his first buddy to go with him.
“I pick the small turtle demon.” Said Yoyo.
Yoyo looked at the crowd for another buddy. He then saw a small giraffe demon. He knew that giraffes did not have much fur and is very tall so if they ever got lost, the giraffe demon can help them find their way out. So Yoyo picked the small giraffe demon.
