Dragon Boat Festival + Children's Day bonus update (Happy holidays, little ones! May you grow up happily!)

Nan Luo's previously scattered crystal bud began to slowly rotate, and the remaining few shell-like petals unfurled.

Energy reforged.

It trembled like a newborn star, emitting a warm and vast life force.

Invisible and visible, layers of shell-like coverings floated like ripples, with dreamy purple light flowing, containing the tenderness of new life and the majesty of a queen ruling the world.

The pink crystal spiritual tendrils hanging from its head were like solidified light bands, gently fluttering and scattering specks of life star dust.

The tassel-like limbs, like pink peaches in April, hung gracefully, seemingly delicate yet containing the sharpness to cut through the void.

The formidable aura of a Saint-level Transcendent creature gently and powerfully enveloped the insect generals around it, transforming them into crystal-clear, jewel-like insect eggs that merged one by one into its shell-like covering.

At the same time, Mingxi's Pet Space automatically spiritualized.

Nan Luo transformed into a streak of light and merged into it.

Contract completed!

Mingxi breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Although their lives were still uncertain, at least their most important goal had been achieved.

Her ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) eighth pet was in place!

A Saint-level Transcendent creature, and a rare collective-type Nan Luo at that!

This contract ceremony, despite its twists and turns and constant dangers, was truly a huge win.

Of course, the premise was that they could survive the current crisis.

Next, was the real battle!

Mingxi smiled slightly, quickly forming hand seals, and summoned the Nan Luo Queen, who had just entered her Pet Space.

"Nan Nan."

The Nan Luo Queen flew out of the space and elegantly performed a standard lady's bow to Mingxi.

Her voice was very pleasant, as melodious and clear as a nightingale, as warm and gentle as a breeze, and carried the subtle softness of a woman from an ancient water town.

She said: Hello, my beautiful and kind Beast Tamers, thank you for granting me and my people new life.

Being thanked so solemnly by a pet, Mingxi felt a little embarrassed.

She quickly waved her hand and said, "From now on, we are family, no need for such formalities."

"Let's talk about anything else after we deal with these Beast Tamers and their pets."

Hearing Mingxi mention the invaders who had killed so many of her people, the Nan Luo's gentle and graceful demeanor instantly vanished.

It was replaced by a quality colder than slaughter.

But at the same time, it was like a volcano about to erupt.

As soon as the huge purple crystal bud bloomed, the dangling pink crystal spiritual tendrils no longer floated softly, but became like energy tentacles ready to strike, all their tips pointing at the enemy!

The moon-white tassel-like limbs were taut like bowstrings, their edges glinting with a cold light that could cut through space!

This transformation signaled that the prelude to reversal had just begun.

"Very good!"

Mingxi was very satisfied with the Nan Luo's stark contrast.

A gentle, sweet, and soft young lady was what she loved, but a cold, murderous queen was also something she adored!

"Gold, Silver, and Blue, Emerald Green, Red, Black, and White! And Nan Luo!"

Mingxi's voice resounded throughout the area, carrying an undeniable commanding presence, "Counterattack! Crush them!"

And, the terrifying Annihilation Star Dust.

"Abyssal Force!"

"..."

"...Nan?"

Responding to her were the earth-shattering roars of Golden Yuanbao Seven, and the Nan Luo's voice, which clearly hadn't caught up with the others' rhythm.

The pets, who had been suppressed for a long time, now charged at the remaining enemies like ferocious beasts breaking free from their shackles, acting in perfect unison!

Bright Crystal summoned the Rock Demon again.

It was still the familiar big guy.

Indeed.

This skill had bound the Rock Demon King.

It growled, taking heavy steps, like a moving mountain, actively charging with Bright Crystal towards the Corrosive Bone Poison Dragon, which was spewing poisonous flames like crazy.

"Zhen Gua?"

It's you, you like to spew poison flames, right?

This old man will come and meet you!

...

"Boom boom—"

The Dark Abyss Weaver's eight compound eyes burned with a faint blue rage, and viscous shadows frantically writhed and repaired its wounds.

It suddenly opened its ferocious maw, and a silent, yet soul-tearing shadow scream, like a tangible black ripple, instantly spread towards the Nan Luo, which was facing it in battle.

Although the Nan Luo's strength was not as great as before due to the loss of many of its people, it was able to fight the Dark Abyss Weaver to a standstill because Golden Yuanbao and the others blocked other attacks, and Little Silver Flower, Emerald Green, and Black Pearl provided assistance, in addition to the Berserk Potion and Proficiency Potion.

Under layers of buffs, it actually fought the Dark Abyss Weaver to a draw.

"Dark Abyss?!"

A mere insect... dares to hurt me?!

The Dark Abyss Weaver probably hadn't been injured in a long time, so being injured by the Nan Luo now naturally made it extremely furious.

Its massive body once again merged into the shadows, transforming into countless indistinguishable true and false shadow claws, tearing through space from all directions and strangling their way towards the Nan Luo!

"Nan!"

The golden vortex in the Nan Luo's purple crystal compound eyes suddenly accelerated.

The pink crystal spiritual tendrils hanging from its head suddenly straightened, and their tips burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

Countless insects of varying sizes, as if summoned by their queen, crawled out from the ground, the sky, the plants, and even the dust, quickly combining together.

In the blink of an eye, they formed a huge and intricate insect barrier, like a crystal jungle.

Although these were just ordinary insects, this skill was one of the strongest defense skills in the insect lineage—the Earth-level skill, Myriad Insects Undying.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

The black ripples of the shadow scream collided with the insect wall, like boiling water poured on snow, instantly dissolving and purifying each other.

A grating sound constantly emanated.

Holes were corroded in the insect wall, but under the Nan Luo's urging, insects continuously rushed forward, filling the insect wall at an unprecedented speed, stubbornly withstanding the Venerable-level pet's furious attack!

"What?!"

The Hooded Men's pupils shrank, this newborn little shrimp had become so troublesome!

Completing a contract with a Beast Tamers, could it actually enhance a pet's strength?

"What what?!"

Because the pets were performing too strongly, Mingxi, who had been scurrying around the battlefield like a flea, intentionally downplaying her presence, unknowingly appeared behind the Hooded Men.

The axe blade cut through the air.

It went straight for the Hooded Men's head!

Just as Qianshan Path had said, unlocking her new physique allowed her to unleash 200% of its strength!

So, she, who could already contend with Saint-level beings, was terrifyingly strong at this moment!

"Crack!"

The sound of defensive items shattering simultaneously reached Mingxi and the Hooded Men's ears.

However, it failed to stop the axe blade's relentless advance!

As the most obvious weakness of a Beast Tamers, no Beast Tamers would enter a Mystic Ground or secret realm without preparing one, two, or three defensive items for themselves.

They were guarding against old foxes like Mingxi!

However, the reason old foxes are old foxes is because they have already anticipated various possibilities when they make their move.

Defensive items, huh?

Then let's see whether your shield is thicker, or my axe is faster!

"Crack! Crack! Crack—"

Like lightning, one defensive item after another shattered.

The Hooded Men was truly broken this time!
