“Bright Crystal, Rock Demon.”

Mingxi’s gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s, having already anticipated the opponent’s attack.

“Rock!”

A Rock Demon, whose appearance was so familiar that even Mingxi, focused on battle, couldn't help but glance sideways, appeared.

No way?!

Could Bright Crystal’s skill, Rock Demon, really have become a dedicated summon?

She hadn’t heard that Rock Demon had such a passive attribute.

Unless...

This particular Rock Demon was very special; it might have realized that following Bright Crystal could bring unexpected benefits.

For example—breaking through racial shackles and evolving into an Emperor-level!

Speaking of which, this Rock Demon was indeed much larger than when Bright Crystal first summoned it.

Now it looked more like a small mountain!

Especially its limbs and claws...

“Rock—!” It let out an excited, high-pitched cry towards Bright Crystal and Mingxi, as if celebrating their long-awaited reunion.

“Zhen Gua!”

Bright Crystal leaped onto the Rock Demon’s shoulder like a flying swallow, pointing its small paw, radiating dominance!

“Roar!”

The Rock Demon shook the ground, emitting a muffled response.

Its massive body, which had been as stable as a mountain, suddenly lunged forward, its two forelimbs # Nоvеlight # covered in thick rock layers raised high, condensing immense earth power, and then, with overwhelming force, slammed down onto the frost-covered ground in front of it!

“Boom!!!”

Like a small Earthquake erupting!

The high-level Rock-type skill, Tremor!

Bright Crystal wasn't just watching; it activated its ability, released a skill, and coordinated with the Rock Demon for the attack.

A visible earthen-yellow Impact wave violently spread out in a ring, centered on the Rock Demon’s point of Impact!

The ground undulated and shattered violently, like a lake into which a giant stone had been thrown!

Those dark green poisonous vines scuttling along the ground bore the brunt, directly overturned and shattered by the violent shockwave, their foul-smelling sap splattering everywhere!

The Steel-scaled Beast, which had just been preparing to charge, was also staggered by this sudden violent ground tremor, its charge interrupted.

Even the Blade-winged Hummingbird, which had just ascended and was preparing for a dive attack, was affected by the turbulent airflow and Impact wave, shaking violently in the air.

The effect was surprisingly good!

“Now’s the time!”

“Lan Yue, Ice Sniper, deal with that bird!”

“Little Silver Flower, the Steel-scaled Beast is yours!”

“...”

“Emerald Green, suppress those six Beast Tamers!” Mingxi seized this fleeting opening, a series of commands flowing from her mouth.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Even to Transcendent creatures, two Ice Arrows, released simultaneously, whistled past rustling leaves.

Their target was the Blade-winged Hummingbird that had just stabilized itself!

Instant cast, snipe!

At the same time, Little Silver Flower’s silver dragon tail swept out like a battering ram, kicking up dust and feathers, heavily striking the dazed Steel-scaled Beast.

Overwhelming dragon might and killing intent instantly enveloped it!

Meanwhile, Golden Yuanbao performed a magnificent aerial maneuver, its wings furiously flapping, countless threads of lightning, continuously compressed to the extreme by the Heavenly Wind Seated, poured down like machine gun fire onto the six black-clad Beast Tamers attempting to command their pet beasts!

Thunderbolt Barrage.

The battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch!

The forest was filled with the roars and growls of pet beasts, the explosive roar of skills, the clang of metal collisions, the crackle of ice freezing, and the angry shouts of humans.

Light and shadow intertwined, energy raged, turning this dilapidated land, eroded into a primeval jungle, upside down, with shifting winds and clouds...

Mingxi was like the eye of the storm, calmly observing every detail, her brain rapidly processing information, precisely directing the actions of each pet beast, maximizing team coordination.

Emerald Green had transformed into the Grim Reaper in the shadows, each strike precise and ruthless, aiming directly for vital points.

Lan Yue controlled ice and fire, either slowing enemies, creating cages, or transforming into a turret, weaving a net of death.

Bright Crystal was the embodiment of strength and brute force, with the Rock Demon’s cooperation, each heavy blow seemed to shake the earth.

Black Pearl was like an invisible phantom, circling the edge of the battlefield, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment, snatching kills from its companions.

Little Silver Flower, while performing a storm assault, quietly enveloped its companions with gentle healing energy, dispelling the numbness brought by the poisonous vines and repairing their injuries.

And Scarlet Jade remained closely behind Mingxi, acting as a loyal and silent guardian.

After the situation gradually stabilized, Golden Yuanbao, dominating the high altitude, gradually retreated to a support position, covering its companions' actions and creating a more suitable combat environment for everyone.

Everyone was maturing!

When the last black-clad Beast Tamer was sent flying, spitting blood, by Bright Crystal’s powerful Backhand Hammer, crashing heavily into a frost-covered tree and falling unconscious, only heavy breathing and the faint crackle of residual energy remained in the forest.

The battle ended swiftly and brutally.

Despite the opponent having an advantage in both numbers and strength, Mingxi’s side won, but also suffered very serious injuries.

It wasn't to the point of exhaustion or running out of resources; after all, their true ultimate moves hadn't been unleashed.

But they were indeed all in a sorry state.

“Little Silver Flower, Emerald Green, heal everyone.”

Mingxi panted slightly, sweat dampening her temples, but her eyes remained bright and sharp.

Her gaze quickly swept across the battlefield, confirming there were no stragglers, then finally rested on the waist of the scarred leader.

It was an inconspicuous metal box, already cracked open by Bright Crystal’s little punches.

She had noticed earlier that the poisonous thorn vine wasn't summoned, but emerged from this metal box.

Unfortunately, Bright Crystal, that ferocious beast cub, was too ruthless; she didn't even have time to warn it before it had already smashed it with a punch.

(°ロ°)!

Not only was that person half-crippled, but even that unknown item became half-Waste!

Mingxi, wearing insulating gloves, held the metal box in her hand; the box was about the length of an adult man's forearm, a streamlined rectangular prism.

The outer shell was not smooth metal, but covered with a dense, subtly wriggling dark black material texture, like the carapace of some insect, cold and slippery to the touch.

In the center of the box was embedded a deep purple energy core, pulsating slowly as if alive, with faint, intricate blood-colored patterns on its surface, emitting an unsettling glow.

The opening was not a mechanical structure, but a slit beneath the core resembling an insect’s mouthpart, opening like petals to reveal a dark interior space, and the residual tendrils and leaves of the poisonous thorn vine.

“Guangguang, scan this metal... ah no, this scrap.”

Due to frequent battles recently, the nanobees suffered large-scale losses, and Guangguang had no choice but to return to the Time Realm to work tirelessly on repairs to maintain the long-term use of the nanobees.

Hearing Mingxi’s call, Guangguang, the hardworking Guangguang, came online and began scanning the scrap according to her request.
