• Long Haochen and the other newly promoted Demon Hunter Squads were summoned after their city defense performance impressed Demon Extermination Pass’s commanders.
• Lieutenant General Gu Jin announced that military headquarters would assign the squads military missions.

Long Haochen organized ten Demon Hunter Squads into separate units to ambush a Devil Race grain convoy, aiming to destroy its supplies quickly and earn merit. As the convoy arrived, Lin Xin spotted a heavily guarded wagon that might carry something important, and Long Haochen prepared to decide how to respond.

• Lin Xin used Levitation Spell to help the group travel to the hills where the Devil Race grain convoy was expected to pass.
• Long Haochen rejected a coordinated group attack and proposed that each Demon Hunter Squad attack a different section of the convoy independently.
• Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi, Lu Xi, and the other captains agreed, and Long Haochen arranged the squads along the hills so stronger units could assist weaker ones.
• The squads learned that the convoy carried roughly two hundred wagons guarded by around a thousand Devil Race soldiers, mainly Zelin Race Twin-Bladed Demons and Demon Eye Sorcerers.
• Lin Xin noticed that one wagon left unusually shallow tracks and was guarded by six unusually large Demon Eye Sorcerers and four Emerald Twin Blade Demons.

Long Haochen and the other Demon Hunter Squads launched an ambush on a Devil Race supply convoy to reach a heavily guarded carriage. The Soldier Grade First Demon Hunter Squad broke through the convoy’s defenses and began battling the powerful guards around the carriage.

• Long Haochen ordered the squads to attack the convoy and assigned Lin Xin and Han Yu to provide support and cover their retreat if needed.

• Long Haochen and Cai'er killed two Emerald Twin Blade Demons through Knight-Assassin Unity, while Wang Yuanyuan killed another with the Shield of the Giant Spirit God.

• The grain carriage exploded, revealing a seventh-step Bloodthirsty Beta with a small box tied around its neck.
• Long Haochen drew the Bloodthirsty Beta's attention with the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace as Cai'er returned to the group.
• Haoyue concentrated its tri-colored pillar into a beam that tore apart the Bloodthirsty Beta's left wing.

• Gao Yingjie concealed the knights’ intervention in his report, and every Demon Hunter Squad received two hundred Merit Points.

After the joint mission, Long Haochen awoke and insisted that the squad hand over a valuable box to the military, while keeping the recovered demon corpses. He then learned that Cai'er had temporarily lost her sense of smell after using the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace.

• Sima Xian questioned why the Soldier Grade First Demon Hunter Squad received the same merit points as the other squads, and Gao Yingjie explained that the Bloodthirsty Beta and its magic crystal had earned them substantial rewards.
• Gao Yingjie warned the squad to keep a low profile during the team competition and told Lin Xin to give the box to Long Haochen.
• Long Haochen woke and asked Lin Xin to hand the box to Gao Yingjie, arguing that it might contain information vital to defending Demon Extermination Pass and belonged to all the squads.
• Wang Yuanyuan and the others supported Long Haochen, who asked Gao Yingjie to deliver the box to the military while letting the squad keep the demon corpses.
• Long Haochen privately worried about Cai'er’s condition, and she explained that the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace had temporarily taken away her sense of smell.

Long Haochen made Cai'er promise to rest until her sense of smell returned, while Sheng Yue revealed that the recovered box held a Light Element Spirit Furnace and decided to let it choose its own wielder. Back at the barracks, Chen Ying'er discovered she had unknowingly made a little pig her Natal Summoned Beast, and Cai'er urged her not to judge it by appearances.

• Long Haochen insisted that Cai'er stay out of battles until her sense of smell returned, and she agreed after he admitted how afraid he was of losing her.
• Sheng Yue opened the box recovered by Long Haochen's squad and found a weakened Light Element Elf inside, then decided to let it choose its own companion rather than award it to one squad.
• Chen Ying'er woke to find that the little pig she had summoned during the grain convoy battle had not disappeared and had become her Natal Summoned Beast.
• Chen Ying'er wept over having a seemingly useless pig as her Natal Summoned Beast, while Cai'er told her that an ordinary pig could not have formed a soul contract without her noticing.

Chen Ying'er learned that her Natal Summoned Beast, the Mirror Treasure Divine Pig, could imitate powerful beasts and find treasures, then named it McDull. The Demon Hunter Squads rested before assembling at the training ground, while Long Haochen remained worried about Haoyue's continued unconsciousness and his own unusual symptoms.

• Cai'er encouraged Chen Ying'er to look beyond the pig's appearance, and Chen Ying'er used Mental Transmission to learn about its abilities.
• Chen Ying'er explained that the Mirror Treasure Divine Pig could imitate Magic Beasts, borrow their abilities by consuming magic crystals, and sense treasures and danger.
