"Hey, Jiang Yang, ain't I powerful?"

Yang Zhou stepped on a Small Salamander and grinned.

"Hmph! You're shameless beyond help. If you have the ability, be as upright as I am. It's only a low-level servant monster; I can defeat it as well!" said the androgynous boy in disdain. He would never praise this shameless guy.

Yang Zhou, who had learned from Su Bai's techniques, asked his Little Conch to set him a layer of 'Circulating Water' as a defense wall. He then kept torturing the Small Salamander with a barrage of Water Poison Arrows.

The defensive power of the Little Conch was already high, and coupled with its fire restraint and Circulating Water, the Small Salamander was directly ground to its death.

Compared to these two boys, though, Chen Tingting was more impressive.

Her opponent was a Four-winged Riflebird, a low-level servant monster, which happened to have just restrained her pet. Su Bai suggested exchanging with her, but she refused.

"Blade Praying Mantis, use Chain Blade! Don't be scared and just do it!"

This pretty girl was aggressive on the battlefield, which greatly belied her usually timid personality.

"Be careful! Attack its wings and chop off one first."

Facing the opposing monster's Dive attack, the Blade Praying Mantis was dauntless. Its two blades flashed with white lights as it rushed forward and slashed the Four-winged Riflebird's beak.

Sounds of continuous metal clashing could be heard. Feathers and blood flew horizontally until, with the cries of the bird, two wings finally fell from the sky.

White light flickered, and the huge bird's head flew upward. Blood gushed out, signifying the death of the wild monster.

It was dead.

There were several wounds on the mantis's body, but it still stood proudly, exuding a raging fighting spirit.

"Buddy, heal Blade Praying Mantis."

Su Bai turned to Chen Rouxue and the others. "You guys already knew it?"

The recently concluded battle between the mantis and the bird had truly been thrilling. The Blade Praying Mantis and Chen Tingting's fighting instincts were very keen, and other than the blood on its body, it suffered no fatal injury.

"I only learned yesterday that if my Xiao Bai weren't immune to physical attacks, it would be killed by her pet."

Chen Rouxue shrugged.

"It's not as powerful as that; I just have a more accurate intuition." Chen Tingting shook her head humbly.

"In other words, you didn't actually train your pet, and you command it based on your combat intuition?" Su Bai asked. "Anyway, your pet should've long been promoted to a mid-level servant, so why is it still at low level?"

"Not exactly. I've trained it a few times, so my commands aren't entirely instinctive. Mainly, we cooperate very well, and it can somehow understand my intention."

She shrugged. "As for why it hasn't advanced to that level, I don't have enough money and can barely buy it proper nutritional food which promotes growth. Plus, I want it to break through naturally."

"Oh, then there's no need to worry about the money. Hunting monsters today should be able to earn us a lot."

He was quite speechless. This girl was probably a combat genius.

"Thank you."

Chen Tingting smiled.

"Okay, let's start hunting some high-level servants.

"Let me break it down. I'll be responsible for detecting and finding monsters. Chen Rouxue and I will start our team's attack. Chen Tingting, you three are responsible for providing support at the side, attracting attention, protecting our safety, and dealing with the monsters by stripping them of their crystal nuclei."

He gave these instructions.

This was a countermeasure that they had negotiated a long time ago, so the others naturally had no objection.

"Okay, let's go." Su Bai walked ahead with Purple Jade.

"Howl! ( ̄^ ̄)"

The forest was the cub's homeground, and it enthusiastically looked for prey.

There were quite a few mid- and low-level servant monsters on this forested road, but high-level servant monsters were rare.

"Howl!"

Suddenly, the cub sped up and chased ahead. He hurriedly followed, with the others hot on his heels.

"Oh, my God! It's a Blazing Snake. Look at its pupils; that guy is about to break through to the warlord level, isn't it?"

Yang Zhou exclaimed in surprise, noticing the hint of silvery white in its cyan pupils.

"Hiss!"

Upon seeing Su Bai and the others, the Blazing Snake did not initiate an attack and, instead, made a threatening cry, indicating for them to retreat quickly.

"Little Devil, use Scary Ghost Shadow!"

Chen Rouxue directly launched an attack.

"Hehehe!"

With a sinister laugh, her pet unfolded into an enormous shadow and enveloped the monster.

"Hiss!"

The Blazing Snake flew out of its attack range instantly.

"Purple Jade, Hypnotic Powder."

Thorns bloomed, flowers' fragrant diffused, and hypnotic powder floated to the Blazing Snake.

Under attack, the red patterns on the snake lit up. Its whole body went ablaze in red flames. The powder of hypnosis was burned into ashes before it even got close.

"Small Pangolin, Earthquake!" A high-pitched feminine voice sounded.

Jiang Yang's pet successfully launched an attack. The monster fell into the hole before it managed to dodge, and its whole body got stuck inside.

"Little Conch, Water Poison Arrows!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ A series of black toxic water arrows hit the Blazing Snake, causing all the flames to dissipate and for some purple-black poison marks to appear on its body.

"Hiss!"

The monster looked up at the sky and roared. It was about to release a big flame, but Scary Ghost Shadow enveloped it at that time. With a snort, the flame shot into the sky and hit the small demon.

"Hehehe!" Little Devil jumped around, pained from the attack.

"Blade Praying Mantis, Lightning Chop!"

In its chaotic state of mind, the snake had lost its offensive ability. The attack came forth and directly chopped off its head.

Blood gushed and the Blazing Snake died.

With the combined attacks of their team of five, it was not difficult to defeat a high-level servant.

"This snake isn't heavy; let's carry it back." Yang Zhou picked up a plastic bag, packed it up, and put it in his backpack.

"Okay, let's go to the next one."

With the five joining hands, it was almost impossible for an ordinary high-level servant monster to defeat them.

However, the real danger in the wild lay in those high-level monsters beyond the servant stage. If they were unlucky and their spiritual power fluctuations or the smell of blood attracted such monsters, it could easily lead to their destruction.

Thus, every time, the monster's body and crystal nucleus were sealed with plastic bags. They not only quickly left the battlefield but also dealt with the scent on their bodies.

Soon, it was noon. Su Bai and the others ate lunch by a river after hunting down three high-level servants and fourteen mid-level monsters.

The main reason was that many monsters slipped away as soon as they saw how many people there were.

"Hey, captain, do you see that small stone cave in the middle of the waterfall? There seems to be small green sapling growing in there? It has fruit, too; is it a spiritual plant?"

Sitting next to Su Bai and eating bread, Chen Rouxue suddenly noticed the sight of the waterfall not far away.
