"Great job, Yiren!" Li Mengnan gripped the deer antler tightly with her left hand, feeling the cold wind whistling past her ear, loudly praising her beloved pet.

"Nai~" Yiren was full of vigor, letting out a proud deer cry. The pleasant sound echoed throughout the snow forest.

"Ying!" Above Li Mengnan's head, Xiaoyan suddenly made a soft cry. As Spark Splash spewed into the air, an astonishing explosion thundered behind them!

Li Mengnan quickly said, "Xiaoyan, you're awesome too!"

Xiaoyan pressed her little paws onto the girl's forehead, and in the midst of the chaos, extended a long tail to the girl's lips, as if rewarding her beloved.

Li Mengnan was overjoyed and leaned her cherry lips forward: "Mua~"

Du Yu: "..."

With the combined effort of the little fox and the deer, the pursuing Electric Little Stars suffered heavy casualties. After that Spark Splash, only two Electric Little Stars remained.

And judging from the Demon Pets' behavior, they were clearly scared!

Pursue?

No way they could keep up!

Not only could they not catch up, the Dust Spirit Deer would even stop occasionally to let them catch up, afraid the Electric Little Star group would lose track.

The Celestial Level·Three-tailed Fire Fox's firepower was even scarier!

The trees along the way were not just blown apart, some were even sliced in half and toppled over by the Fox Tail Flowing Flame.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The two Electric Little Stars finally gave up chasing, sketching two arcs in the sky, speeding off to find their masters.

Hu Xiaoyan lifted her head high; seeing the enemy flee in panic, she couldn't help but let out a fox cry: "Woo!"

"Beautiful!" Du Yu turned around, looked up, and gave his beloved pet a big hug.

"Ying~" The once-overbearing Prince Yan instantly turned into an adorable little fox, snuggling into Du Yu's arms.

"Come back and recharge your Demon Power. We've still got more battles ahead." Du Yu said softly, bumping his forehead to Xiaoyan's head.

"Poof~"

Hu Xiaoyan transformed into endless Fire Demon Breath, quickly merging into Du Yu's body.

Du Yu had been playing "kite" the whole way, relying entirely on Xiaoyan as his artillery. His Shadow Gu Tower was still refining Demon Souls, so he could replenish Xiaoyan's Demon Breath at top speed.

At the same time, Demon Breath surged again at Du Yu's forehead.

"Wuyaa~!" Little You Ying raised the giant torch and, stepping on a Mysterious Rune, made a stunning appearance.

"Let's go, Ghost Firefly, let's hunt down the stragglers!"

"Mmm!"

Meanwhile, in the northern snow forest.

Under the clear sky, a dense fog unexpectedly filled the forest.

Glory Gold·Dust Mist Confusion!

"Nai!" The Dust Spirit Deer let out a loud deer cry. Even though it warned the enemy in advance, the other side still couldn't react in time.

"Ah!" the poor young man screamed, sent flying by a Foggy Immortal Deer.

Inside the white fog, faintly, black powder floated in the air.

Glory Gold·Dust Fog Assault!

"Da, da."

Bai Lu slowly walked out of the fog, her snow hooves stepping on the snow, revealing herself. The white flowers on her antlers shone brilliantly under the winter sun.

As Bai Lu dispersed her Demon Skill, the surrounding mist quietly vanished.

Not far away, Lin Shijiang turned to look over.

On his rear left, a young man clutching a knife was bound by burning Flower Vines. Not only was his Demon Breath Battle Robe shredded, the Black Pearl on his chest was also thoroughly crushed.

Afterwards, the young man was flung far away by the Rose Three Spirits.

Clearly, while Du Yu and company were playing kite and repelling the Electric Little Stars, the siblings had already cleaned out all five here.

In terms of battlefield level, Du Yu and Li Mengnan were up against Demon Pets, so their battle was much harder and far more dangerous.

Even Du Yu's side was done, so there's no way the Lin siblings would lose!

Under Liu Junchi's frantic and misguided commands, the five Demon Tamers without Demon Pet assistance were slaughtered by the Lin duo and their two pets, left with zero fight.

"You okay?" Lin Shiwei rode the deer forward, looking down at her cousin.

Lin Shijiang silently pulled down his baseball cap brim, not answering.

Lin Shiwei shot him an amused glare. "Ignoring even me? With your personality, it's no wonder the family worries about you."

"Nai!" The Dust Spirit Deer suddenly turned its head, looking to the left-front.

The Lin siblings immediately turned their heads to look.

Just in time to see Fire Arrows linking together, attacking straight from the woods and precisely targeting a girl's chest!

One arrow shattered a Battle Robe, one arrow shattered a Pearl.

One Arrow, Two Beads— the opponent didn't even get a chance to react!

Lin Shiwei raised an eyebrow, following the direction the Fire Arrows came from, looking far into the distance.

She saw a glimpse of a snow-white deer weaving through the woods. Faintly, she could also hear Du Yu shouting:

"Eight versus four and you get counter-killed! Do you even know how to play!"

"That's a good one!" Li Mengnan's eyes lit up, "I'm writing this down for when I roast people later."

Du Yu grinned, lifting the Ghostly Firefly Doll's torch and swinging it viciously at a tree. "You're not bad either! That last 'Master'— totally broke that Liu guy's mind!"

"Hee hee~" Li Mengnan flashed a proud smile, "After that end-of-month ranking match, I realized how useful trash talk is. I've been taking notes every day!"

Du Yu: "..."

This is it.

Is my big bro's only job really just to talk crap?

"Mmm." The Ghost Firefly Torch skimmed past the tree, pulling an abrupt stop in midair.

The Mysterious Rune under its feet even tilted a little, keeping the Ghost Firefly Torch steady.

Behind the tree stood a pallid-faced youth, staring at the Ghostly Firefly Doll five meters away.

He looked like he was about to cry!

Honestly, in normal circumstances, this kid—who had some Liu Family connection—wouldn't be so pathetic.

But right now, he was the last Blue Team member left.

Not only had all the Demon Pets been blasted to bits, all the other teammates were slaughtered and routed.

The girl who'd escaped with him was only just talking about "let's get out of here" and "when we come back we'll make Du Yu pay"—the next second, she got a Continuous Pearl Arrow through the chest…

She didn't even get to make Du Yu pay—Du Yu sent her straight to the Demon Spirit Soldiers' little log post.

Crushed by the pressure, another Ghostly Firefly Doll suddenly appeared, and the youth completely snapped!

"Mm?" Little You Ying blinked curiously, feeling her master's orders through the Contract, knowing this was her enemy.

But... why isn't my enemy attacking?

"I surrender! I give up!" The youth raised both hands, voice trembling.

Little You Ying: o_o?

What's with you raising your hands?

Are you trying to scare me?

"Wuya~!" Little You Ying let out a weird cry. She hoisted her torch like a bazooka and unleashed a barrage on the youth!

Glory Gold·Ghost Firefly Blow!

"Aaaahhhhhh..."

Amid the youth's screams, all eight of Liu Junting's party were wiped out by the Red Team!

"Nai!" Yiren carried her master, proudly returning in triumph, her deer cry long and melodious.

Suddenly Lin Shiwei leaned to the side, pressing her legs tight against the deer's flanks, doing her best to keep balance.

"Nai~" Bai Lu drew close, gently congratulating her.

Yiren looked a little excited— this was her first time in battle. Not only did she keep her master perfectly safe, but that wild gallop through the snow forest felt amazing!

Yiren happily squinted her eyes, leaning her deer head forward and rubbing her fair cheek against Bai Lu's.

Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei, riding on their deer, couldn't help but exchange glances.

Is there something going on here?

Lin Shiwei had a rather odd look; via the Contract, she sensed Bai Lu's feelings.

Is she... shy?

Bai Lu, her cheek being rubbed, seemed a little awkward, backing up one step and turning her head aside.

"Nai~" Yiren's bright eyes sparkled as she called softly.

"Nai." Bai Lu turned away, replying quietly.

Du Yu, naturally, understood everything, and couldn't help but show an "auntie grin."

Tsk tsk~

Bai Lu and Yiren, now that's a real lovely pair!

In the future, will we see a Little Dust Spirit Deer being born?

By the way, whose Contract would the baby Dust Spirit Deer carry?

"Let's go back," Lin Shiwei said softly, her smile gentle as she stroked Bai Lu's head.

Li Mengnan's eyes gleamed mischievously; her lovely smile suggested she was secretly chatting with her Demon Pet.

"Indeed, we shouldn't stay here long." Du Yu came back to his senses and looked toward the clearing, "Let's bring the flag back."

"Okay!" Lin Shiwei nodded immediately.

If they carried a Blue flag back to base, it would be a huge morale boost to the Red Team!

After being blasted by Xiaoyan's Fox Tail Flowing Flame, the flagpole had broken into several segments, which actually made it handier to carry.

The group grabbed the Blue Team's flag and immediately set off toward camp.

By coincidence, they ran into a Red Team squad!

A full 50 troops; at the center of the square formation stood a Red flag.

"On guard! Protect the flag!" Ye Xihai shouted loudly, charging forward. By his leg, the Wolf Lake Dog let out a hunting "Lulu" growl.

A small squad followed Ye Xihai out from the ranks, eyeing the blue flag swaying in the woods ahead—clearly, this was going to be an encounter battle!

Ye Xihai called out his command: "Everyone stick to the plan, take formation... wait a minute?"

Was that a Dust Spirit Deer coming out of the snow woods?

And the rider on the deer, wearing fire-red clothes!

Blue flag, red clothes?

Ye Xihai's face lit up—he understood what was happening.

The students behind him weren't dumb either; in an instant, the whole team was buzzing with excitement.

"Du Yu and them not only wiped out Liu Junting, they took the blue flag too?"

"Took out the enemy leader, seized their flag! What did Lin Shihao say earlier?"

"Awesome?"

"Yeah, yeah! Haha, awesome!"

"Du Yu?" Ye Xihai strode up, calling out, "How are you guys? Any casualties?"

"None." Du Yu tilted his head, appearing from behind Li Mengnan, "The enemy squad's been sent off the field.

If you're heading to Zone 5, it's clear now. Go on!"

Though he didn't know Ye Xihai, in this Demon Spirit Realm, as long as you're wearing red, we're comrades!

"How many were there? You took them all out?"

"Eight," Lin Shiwei answered, sitting atop her deer, looking down at the Red Team and counting heads.

Ye Xihai explained, "This squad was assigned by Lin Shihao—50 in total—and there are more cavalry units coming up from behind. Are you coming with us?"

Lin Shiwei: "No, our squad is heading back first to return the captured blue flag, then we'll wait for Shihao's orders and let him command overall.

Also, Zone 5's flag stand is 300 meters due west of the Twin Trees."

As she spoke, Lin Shiwei glanced at Li Mengnan. "Let's go."

"Good luck, guys!" Li Mengnan spurred her deer into a sprint, shouting out loud.

"No problem!" Ye Xihai called back. The two Dust Spirit Deer dashed past the formation's flank.

The 50 students watched their figures disappear into the snowy forest, eyes filled with envy.

Seeing the students' awed expressions, Ye Xihai knew the team morale was sky-high!

He struck while the iron was hot, barking, "Brothers! Let's go! Time to plant that flag!"

"Let's go!"

"Zone Five is ours!"
