The squad leader swung his sword, slashing down a pouncing Little Night Mongoose, and sharply turned his head to look.

He saw Lin Shihang hanging by one shoulder, flailing his longsword wildly.

No less than three of those "big long rats" had crawled onto Lin Shihang's body, madly gnawing at his Demon Breath Battle Robe.

Lin Shihang's Demon Breath Battle Robe was only at the Demon Taming Prentice Level. Of these Little Night Mongooses, two were Earth-level Demon Beasts...

"Crack!" The sharp fangs of a Little Night Mongoose tore down, and the Demon Breath Battle Robe shattered with a roar!

With no Demon Breath Battle Robe left, the sharp teeth hungrily tore at Lin Shihang's flesh, and the small burning claws ripped at his fragile body.

Demon Skill·Sharp Claw Burn!

Demon Skill·Sharp Teeth Bite!

"Aaaaah!" Lin Shihang's shrieks were tinged with sobs, his clothes torn to pieces, exposing a mass of bloody, mangled flesh.

A ghastly sight!

"Gulp." The squad leader's Adam's apple bobbed, knowing it was over for him—his career might have just ended here...

He hurried forward with his sword, but a shrill scream echoed behind him.

And unbeknownst to him, his beloved Wealthy Pig blocked a Little Night Mongoose pouncing at its master. Both demon pets tumbled aside.

But there was only one Wealthy Pig, and a whole swarm of Little Night Mongooses!

With the help of the two Thick-Armored Earth Rhinoceroses, most Little Night Mongooses were driven back, even beaten half to death.

But a small pack remained, their lust for revenge nearly driving them insane!

They took my home, hurt my kin.

Humans!!!

One by one, Little Night Mongooses finally clung onto the man's back, ferociously biting.

A Demon Tamer·Peak Stage-level Demon Breath Battle Robe isn't so easy to tear apart, but the man's eyes now saw nothing except his own little master...

While the human and pet struggled desperately here, over there Zhang Qiming had sensed something was wrong early on, turned and rushed straight toward Du Yu.

The scene was surreal—Zhang Qiming fleeing with his girlfriend, yet actually running to ask Du Yu for help...

"Squad Leader Du, Squad Leader Du, help! I can hold on for at most 20 seconds—the soldiers are on their way!" Zhang Qiming shouted at the top of his lungs, shoving his girlfriend ahead as they sprinted.

You have to give it to him—for all the desperation of fleeing, Zhang Qiming still shielded his girlfriend, himself taking up the rear.

Running for his life, he had no time to draw bow or nock an arrow. Only the Lightning Cat on his shoulder kept firing away.

"Ying!" Xiaoyan let out a cry, standing on Du Yu's shoulder, blasting out a Spark Splash.

Zhang Qiming felt a wave of relief—as the Fireball wasn't aimed at him.

With a loud "Bang!"

The Fireball struck the ground hard, sending sparks flying!

In an instant, a blast of heat surged open, and the continuous "crack-crack" was the sound of Demon Breath Battle Robes shattering everywhere.

Just like the squad leader's Wealthy Pig, Xiaoyan's demon skill output had reached the very peak of Silver Level.

"Whoosh!" Du Yu released his fingers, and the Fire Arrow finally shot out, hitting one Little Night Mongoose thrown by the blast—driving straight into its brow!

Zhang Qiming and his girlfriend sprinted behind Du Yu, forcing down their pounding hearts, rapidly drawing bows and nocking arrows—a single Electric Arrow formed in a flash.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Du Yu loosed two arrows—one struck a brow, one the lower belly.

Zhang Qiming was no slouch either. Aiming at a Little Night Mongoose knocked flying by Spark Splash, struggling to its feet, he sent an arrow right into its belly.

For the moments when a Demon Breath Battle Robe is shattered, the Little Night Mongoose's flesh is no stronger than ordinary livestock.

The pretty girl also detached the longbow from her back, hurrying, "Thank you, Squad Leader Du—if you save my life, I'll repay you one day!"

As she spoke, green Demon Breath swirled on her forehead, and another Rose Spirit reformed itself.

Du Yu fired rapidly, "Fall back!"

"Ying!" Xiaoyan, however, darted out, and another Spark Splash exploded forward.

"Xiaoyan?" Du Yu looked shocked, abruptly freezing in his retreat.

He saw Hu Xiaoyan run behind the unconscious Rose Double Spirit, her long tail curling as she yanked up both rose blossoms.

Still gathering a fireball in front of her face, she dashed back in a panic.

"Ying!" With a nimble leap, Xiaoyan twisted about and blasted another fireball straight ahead.

Seeing Sister Xiaoyan so brave, Little You Ying also squeezed her eyes shut, letting that glowing green light flicker on again.

Du Yu was startled. With people so close, he could only send instructions through the Demon Pet Contract, commanding Little You Ying to suppress her breakthrough.

While holding Little You Ying back, Du Yu also knocked his head against the inky fireball, absorbing it back into his body.

"Ying~" Xiaoyan hopped back onto Du Yu's shoulder, like a triumphant general, lifting her furry little head in pride.

Du Yu hurriedly pulled down his hood, once again drawing his bow to the limit: "Put them inside—Spark Splash!"

The fiery red long tail, wrapped around the Rose Double Spirit, dropped the flowers into the hood behind Du Yu's back. As she did, Xiaoyan's face gathered another fireball, launching it ruthlessly forward!

Du Yu's eyes lit up!

With his keen vision, he caught that Xiaoyan's fireball was slightly bigger than before!

Unyielding Silver·Spark Splash!?

It's called Unyielding Silver, but that fireball larger than 20 centimeters was already at Glory Gold Level.

After their setback, the Little Night Mongoose swarm realized the enemy was too strong. They no longer charged recklessly, but scattered madly left and right.

The earlier chase after Zhang Qiming had clearly given the Little Night Mongoose pack the illusion that these humans were easy prey.

By the time they realized their mistake, they'd already lost four! And this squad only had ten Little Night Mongooses to begin with.

As everyone kept fighting and falling back, the Rose Double Spirit in Du Yu's hood blinked her blurry eyes open.

She'd been whipped hard by Xiaoyan's Continuous Fire Tail, drifting back to consciousness. For a time, she couldn't figure out where she was...

Du Yu: "Zhang Zuo!"

"Yes!" At Du Yu's shout, Zhang Qiming and his Lightning Cat fired a Thunder Ball Electric Arrow almost as one.

Electric Arrow first, Thunder Ball after.

Out in the open grass, a Little Night Mongoose suddenly halted, letting the Electric Arrow skim past its face, then dashed forward again, as the Thunder Ball exploded behind it.

"Ding!" A Fire Arrow, zeroed in on its charge, struck it hard on the head.

With its Demon Breath Battle Robe quaking violently, the Little Night Mongoose shrieked and thrashed in the grass.

Suddenly, a burning Fire Vine whipped out from behind Du Yu, striking hard at the Little Night Mongoose.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The girl's Rose Spirit was just Mortal Level—it shouldn't be able to use Rose Fire Vine.

And in Du Yu's hood, two rose blossoms poked out their little heads, peering at the enemy...

"Screee!!!" Out of nowhere, a sharp cry pierced the night sky.

Instantly, every Little Night Mongoose on both battlefields froze, as if summoned by their Clan Leader?

The frozen battlefield was eerily strange. And what came next brought wild joy to the humans.

"Awooo~"

"Awooooo~" The howls of the Wolf Lake Dogs cut through the night, water guns shooting out from the forest, giant nets unfurling overhead.

In a flash, the whole pack of Little Night Mongooses abandoned their attack and scattered, fleeing wildly.

Wolf Lake Dog—the god of Great Xia!

You could even call it one of the totems of Great Xia Demon Tamers!

No Demon Tamer raised in the Great Xia Realm has ever failed to be saved by a Wolf Lake Dog at least once.

Whether you join the army or call for help, there'll always be Wolf Lake Dogs in the Demon Spirit Squad.

Under the moonlight, flashlight beams swept the grass. A pack of Wolf Lake Dogs raced past, camo-clad figures close behind.

"Ah, we're saved." The girl murmured, clutching her chest, as the threatening Little Night Mongooses around them had already fled.

In the flashlight's glow, Zhang Qiming couldn't help but sharply suck in a cold breath: "Hss..."

The battlefield in the distance was a complete mess. Lin Shihang, rescued by those in camouflage, was already covered in blood—the sight was appalling.

But then, the joys and sorrows of humans and demon pets are never quite the same.

As things calmed down, Xiaoyan glanced back at the girl, scrutinized her for a few seconds, and then pounced with a cry: "Ying~"

"Ah~" The girl fumbled awkwardly, hastily catching the beautiful Xiaoyan, feeling the little one snuggle harder and harder in her arms...

The girl's face flushed crimson—uncertain what to do, but unwilling to let Xiaoyan go. "Du... Squad Leader Du, what's this about?"

Du Yu: "..."

This is recognition of your looks—a pure, massive compliment.

Don't ask.

Just enjoy it, yeah?
