"Huff… It finally died. Are all warlord monsters so terrifying even when they're injured?"

Su Bai flopped onto the ground. Two of their pets had been seriously injured in this battle. Even though Purple Jade had the ability to recover, its spiritual power had been completely exhausted. It also received serious injuries from the previous energy ball bombardment of the enemy.

Both girls' pets were almost exhausted and were also suffering from serious injuries.

If this stone monster had not been injured beforehand, the result would be really hard to tell.

"Let's quickly heal our pets. Our battle was too loud; some monsters or other hunting teams might come to take advantage of us."

Su Bai gave the instructions.

"It's terrifying; my Small Pangolin almost died," complained Jiang Yang while making his pet drink a healing potion.

"Warlord monsters are all too perverted. My Little Conch was injured so badly just by being hit with an energy ball." Yang Zhou also trembled in fear.

"Captain, Xiao Bai is about to advance and evolve!" suddenly shouted Chen Rouxue at this moment.

Su Bai quickly looked over at that and saw a dark vortex of spiritual power on the small demon. Its body was in the middle of this vortex, looming and looking like a galaxy was rotating around it.

"Don't worry. Give it a healing potion to treat its injuries first, then feed it with a catalyst potion and a breakthrough fruit."

He checked the spirit's information and gave this instruction.

"Okay!"

Chen Rouxue nodded and quickly did as told.

Once her pet finished drinking the healing potion, it recovered quickly with its aura becoming thicker. The dark vortex spun faster and faster around it.

Seeing that it was almost done recovering, she hurriedly fed it a catalyst potion and a breakthrough fruit.

"Hehehe!"

Little Devil opened its blood basin of a mouth and swallowed the breakthrough fruit as well as the catalyst potion in one gulp. The spiritual power around its body suddenly expanded, enveloping Su Bai and the others directly. A cold and terrifying aura continuously poured to the bottom of their hearts, triggering their deeply hidden evil desires.

"Hehehe! Jiang Yang, come and whisper words to me in your girly voice…"

Yang Zhou hugged his Little Conch while looking dazed. Saliva hung from his mouth and he had an idiotic smile on his face.

"F*ck, Yang Zhou! I treat you as a brother, yet you're actually plotting against me!"

The androgynous boy stepped back, his face full of shock.

Su Bai also could not help but cover his face. What kind of desires did this unlucky child have?

Chen Tingting was also hit by the spell. Her face had a sweet and happy smile at first before it morphed into a foolish smirk, showing that her desire had been evoked.

"Back up now!"

Su Bai ran away with Purple Jade, and then he asked it to use Vine Whip to pull everyone out, leaving only Chen Rouxue inside.

The girl and her small demon were bound by a contract, so she would not be affected.

"F*ck! What did I just say?" Yang Zhou returned to normal and jumped up, seemingly vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"B*st*rd! Get away from me and don't you dare get close!" Jiang Yang ran far away while holding his Small Pangolin.

"No, listen to me: I was being controlled by the dark energy. It wasn't my intention. My sexual orientation is normal!" He anxiously explained but felt that he would never be able to clear his name.

"I don't care! Just stay away from me!"

...

"Captain, do you have any potions to restore spiritual power? Lend it to me first; my Blade Praying Mantis is about to have a breakthrough, too!"

Chen Tingting shouted at the side.

Su Bai turned his head and saw that the spiritual power on the Blade Praying Mantis's body was also gradually becoming more violent; it was obvious that it would break through at any moment.

"Oh, I have." He quickly took out a breakthrough fruit from his backpack and handed it to the girl. He had originally prepared it for his pet.

"Thank you!" The girl took the fruit from him and fed it to her pet.

Her Blade Praying Mantis was only promoted to the mid-level slave. After absorbing enough spiritual power, it completed the compression and purification process and successfully advanced. Its whole body looked more energetic and slender, and its blade was sharper and sturdier. It had obviously risen to a new level.

"Congrats!" He grinned.

"Thank you." Upon seeing that her pet had successfully advanced, Chen Tingting was simply overjoyed and thanked him hurriedly.

"No need for thanks. We're all teammates and friends, so there's no need to be so polite."

Su Bai waved his hand and glanced at Chen Rouxue. The dark spiritual power of the ghost was slowly being withdrawn into its body. Little Devil had evolved into a Big Demon and successfully advanced to a high-level servant pet.

The original size of Little Devil was of a small leather ball, but now it was bigger than a basketball. Its body shape was oval and its color was purple. It had a pair of well-proportioned, red fleshy wings, straight black horns, big bloody eyes, and a large red basin mouth.

It also had two small black claws on both sides of its body.

"Hehehe!"

After its breakthrough, Little Devil rushed into Chen Rouxue's arms and laughed wildly.

"Congrats, your pet has evolved into a Big Demon at the servant stage. Its future is looking good, and its combat effectiveness has improved several times compared to before."

Su Bai grinned and congratulated her. Not every pet could finish its first evolution at the servant level, and most needed to be a warlord pet to complete its first evolution.

"Haha! Thank you. Xiao Bai has awakened a new skill: Shadow Energy Ball. Its strength has greatly increased, too. It'll be much easier for us to hunt monsters from now on." Chen Rouxue grinned happily.

"Haha! It's really a pleasant surprise. Both of your pets have broken through." Jiang Yang and Yang Zhou also expressed their sincere congratulations.

Su Bai picked up Purple Jade and caressed its cute, little head. "Buddy, when will you advance and evolve?"

"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"

The cub turned its head and ignored it. Would Ah Bai not love it anymore if it did not evolve? Bad owner.

"Hahaha! Let's not talk about it. Go up first and use your Vine Whip to pull me. It's not good to stay here for too long."

He let go of the cub.

"Howl!"

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the cub first used Vine Whip to pull itself up and then it's owner.

Su Bai saw the Woodgrain Fruit at close range. It was a half-meter-high tree with leaves akin to tea leaves. Four pieces of garlic-size cyan fruit, with dark green lines on each, hung on different positions on the tree.

"Buddy, help me dig out this tree without damaging the roots."

He gave the instructions.

"Howl! ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ"

The cub nodded, then it mobilized its spiritual power to dig out the Woodgrain Fruit Tree slowly.

After digging it out, the cub used its wood spiritual power to protect the tree and prevent it from dying.

Su Bai dug out the bottom layer, revealing a piece of emerald green pith ore embedded in the granite.

He realized that this tree was completely grown on granite. Gritting his teeth, he summoned the contract book, which appeared on the wood pulp ore. Green light enveloped it, and the whole piece of ore turned into energy that integrated into his contract book.

With the integration of energy, the contract book was promoted to bronze two stars, and a new page appeared.

The wood marrow ore was one of the materials that could upgrade his contract book, so he was simply overjoyed.

"Come on; let's go!"

Su Bai picked up the Woodgrain Fruit Tree and jumped down with it in his hands.

They had been here for a long time.

"Okay."

Everyone nodded and prepared to leave.

"You wanna leave? Did you ask us for permission? You dared to invade our team's territory; are you people seeking death?"

At this time, an arrogant voice came from the forest by the river.
