“Buddy, spawn some vines to cover the ledge and do it quietly.”

Su Bai knew that their group could not make a fire at night, or else they would become living targets.

However, it was only a few days after April, and the weather was still very cold. The wind could only be blocked by the vines.

By the time it was set up, the sky was almost dark. He and the others sat on the straw mat just in time to watch the last sunset glow in the distance.

“After eating, let’s take a rest and keep an eye on our surroundings.”

After preparing food for the cub, Su Bai started eating his dinner. Chen Rouxue had brought along something to eat, and combined with the wild fruits she had picked on the way, the two’s dinner was pretty sumptuous.

“Wow, the sunset is beautiful. It’s a pity that we couldn’t bring our phones and take pictures.”

The girl grumbled a little regretfully while eating biscuits.

“The sunset happens every day; you can just take a picture of it next time.”

He had no interest in the setting sun, for it was just the indication of the end of a day. He much preferred the rising sun.

Once he was done eating some biscuits and gnawing on a few oranges, he lay on his back on the straw mat and closed his eyes.

Purple Jade jumped over and squatted beside him.

“Go to sleep. My pet will detect the surrounding situation from time to time, so there’s no need to worry.”

He then turned around and flipped to the other side.

After eating another snack, Chen Rouxue lay down on her straw mat as well. She closed her eyes while hugging her small demon.

Soon, night fell, but the silence was brief before it was broken by the sound of battle. It was not far from Su Bai, so the fight roused him from sleep.

A Flame Crow swooped down from the air, killed the opponent in less than half a minute, and then flew away.

“That’s probably Zhao Li, the seeded player from Iron Second Middle School. His Flame Crow has evolved once at the servant level and is more powerful than ordinary pets.”

Chen Rouxue sighed.

“I know, but that spirit looks like it’s chasing after those with fire. We didn’t make one, so it should be fine.”

Su Bai turned to look at his teammate again. “Have you rested enough? Let’s start moving; the forest at night is the best hunting ground for us.”

“Let’s go.”

Chen Rouxue yawned.

Deep within the forest, the road at night was more difficult to walk than during the day, and they had to be careful not to make any sound. They had to walk very carefully with only the moon in the sky illuminating their way.

“There’s someone there.”

The girl pointed in a direction.

Ghost pets were very good at finding people. As humans had complex emotions and six desires, they had to find humans first before sucking their fear.

Purple Jade, meanwhile, could detect the specific position of the humans.

“They’re about sixty meters ahead. Let’s quietly—”

“Howl!”

“Oh, no! Some people are coming our way—two with pets at warlord level that also have detection skills! Let your little demon use its concealment skill as we make a run for it.”

Su Bai anxiously instructed. He did not expect them to encounter some big bosses the moment they came out.

“Xiao Bai, quick!”

Little Devil used its concealment skill at once, and they all ran non-stop.

If they encountered them head-on without any preparation, they would have zero chance of winning at all.

“Hey, did they discover us? Their aura disappeared so fast, so it should be a concealment skill. Do you want to chase after them?”

The young man, Qian Shan, who had the Diving Crocodile pet asked softly. He was one of the water-fire Gemini twins.

“Forget it. It’s a waste of time tracking those with mid-level slave pets. Let’s get rid of that team while they’re resting.”

“Thank goodness that they didn’t catch up.” After running for a kilometer, Su Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’m exhausted; let’s rest for a while.” Chen Rouxue, who could not run anymore, was panting now profusely.

“Buddy, heal her.”

He instructed his pet.

“Wow, it’s so comfortable.”

Under the treatment of the cub’s spiritual power, the girl immediately felt comfortable as all the aches and pains all over her body disappeared gradually.

“Let’s go. We should continue, but let’s be more careful this time.”

“Okay.”

Ten minutes later, the two found a team with mid-level servant pets. In the dark, Little Devil directly scared them half to death, and both pets fell into a state of chaos.

Purple Jade then came up and sent a large Vine Whip to hit the two pets and make them lose their combat effectiveness.

The whole battle lasted less than a minute.

The concealment ability of Little Devil skyrocketed at night, which led to the doubling of the hit rate of its Scary Ghost Shadow.

Coupled with the cub’s Super Vine Whip, the undefended pets were defeated successively in seconds.

After all, the difference between mid-level and high-level slaves was not very big, unless the pet had evolved once. Otherwise, encountering Su Bai’s team at night made it impossible for others to defeat their dirty playstyle.

“Ten number tags are so few.”

Chen Rouxue complained.

“Let’s go find the next one then.”

Her pet disappeared into the forest as quickly as before.

At night, everyone’s field of vision had dropped, but not Purple Jade, whose detection skill was still very handy. Usually, few people bought special detection pets because the spirits themselves had this ability.

Pets’ sense of smell and psychic powers were both natural detection skills, so it was a little redundant to purchase them.

In the eyes of these rookie summoners, this was not the same as going to a monster battlefield, so it was better to buy two more attack skills than a detection skill.

Soon, Su Bai’s team quietly eliminated three opponents with mid-level servants. In the darkness of night, their same-level opponents only discovered Little Devil when it launched an attack.

“One high-level servant and mid-level one. It seems we’ve gained quite a haul.”

Su Bai muttered before turning to find some other monsters. He asked the ghost demon to lure them over.

Taking advantage of the fierce fighting between the opponent and the monster, Little Devil appeared at the critical moment with its Scary Ghost Shadow and was soon joined by Purple Jade with its Vine Whip.

This was no ordinary Vine Whip but one with a poisonous attack and parasitic seeds.

After delivering a single blow, both pets retreated fast. With their assistance, the opponents and the monster would have to fight longer.

“Who the hell did such a sneaky attack? Come out if you have the ability!” An angry roar came from the forest.

However, the surroundings remained silent save for the sound of the monster that had sensed that their pets were falling deeper into slumps.

Under this condition, the pets eventually killed the monster.

However, the pets were seriously injured by the parasitic seed and continued to bleed with a sudden outbreak of poison.

Su Bai only had to make two simple moves before easily taking them down.

“You’re despicable! If you have the ability, let’s fight without using tricks,” gauded the loser in frustration.

Su Bai did not bother saying anything to the opponents. He merely took their number tag and directly left with his team.

“Not bad. We have more than fifty-seven tags.”

Under the shroud of night, they saw a battlefield of a team of four warlord-level pets. This was exactly what they wanted.

Relying on the tactics that Su Bai had planned long ago, the entire battle did not consume much spiritual power. He only had to plant parasitic seeds on the opponents, wait for those to poison the pets, and curse them before they were finished off by another monster’s involvement. The result was basically their opponents’ doom from the beginning.

Thanks to Purple Jade, the two humans could recover from fatigue and move faster than the other teams, who were already exhausted.

Moreover, their primary goal was to defeat the team with high-level servants.

In the middle of the night, they eliminated dozens of teams and obtained more than five hundred tags. At this time, they already had a terrifying number count of 1,058 tags.

“We’re almost at the top of the mountain, aren’t we?”

“Almost. Let’s climb to the top and find a good place to rest. We’ll wait for 10 a.m. before going out and receiving our prize.”

Su Bai was a little excited. There was no need to fight anymore with more than a thousand number tags. All he had to do was protect these tags until 10 a.m. tomorrow.

At night, most people had not yet reached the mountaintop. He found a remote location, then asked the cub to show them the surroundings using Vegetation Sensing, and draw a concentric circle every one hundred meters.

“Okay, have a good rest; it’s really been a rewarding day.”

He lay down on his rattan hammock.

“I never thought that we would actually be able to do it.” Chen Rouxue was lying down on another rattan hammock half a meter away from him.

“Haha! It’s only because everyone else is a rookie. Otherwise, it’d be difficult for us.”

Su Bai knew that they had succeeded not because of how good they were but because their peers were too inexperienced.
