Liu Yang froze out of fear. Seeing this, Xiao Yan prepared a spell.

"Fire Wall"

The beast was 8 meters away from Liu Yang when a wall of fire appeared in front of it. The beast didn't stop and endured as the flames touch its body

"Ice Wall"

A wall of ice materializes which the deer crashed into. The wall stopped the beast's charge. Cracks started to appear in the wall until it was broken by the beast. However, by that time, Mu Yue already grabbed Liu Yang and dragged her away from the beast's path.

The moment the deer tried to escape, the rest of the group already decided to cast their techniques to kill it. When the beast was stopped by the wall, it provided enough time for the others to close the distance.

The beast was hit by multiple techniques and was killed.

"Good follow up Mu Yue. As for you Liu Yang, next time try not to be affected by your fear. Every fight in the wild involves death. As a Spell Cultivator, you must also be prepared to retreat at any moment." Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Yan then stored the carcass to her storage ring. She commanded the group to get away from the area before resting.

"We will continue to do this for a while. We should get used to working with each other to avoid accidents. Next time, we will start to use more techniques and spells. The formation will still be the same." Xiao Yan said.

Mu Yue also distributed cooked meat for the group to eat. After resting, the group continued hunting beasts.

"Lethal Stab"

A spear pierces the neck of a tier 5 beast. Wang Yong then pulls out the spear which made the blood of the beast gush out.

It was their 3rd tier 5 beast kill of the day. They were already used to working with each other. They are now slowly learning when to properly use their technique during group fights.

"Second day and we already killed this many beasts. We will surely finish the task within these two weeks." Jun Qing commented.

"Our only problem is when the beasts appear in groups. We haven't tried fighting those as we always avoid them." Fei Hong said.

They always target the lone beasts. This made it easier for them to surround it and avoid letting it escape.

Liu Yang is also slowly learning how to properly fight. She has been asking for guidance from Xiao Yan on how to properly act as a spell cultivator.

"It's time to set up camp. We still have 12 days to hunt Tier 6 beasts. Liu Yang, have you learned how to create protective arrays?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Yes, I know how to make a tier 1 protective array. I didn't mention it yesterdays as I didn't think we will need it." Liu Yang replied.

"You should set one up that will cover the whole camp. It's better to prepare more safety measures."

The group then set up their tents as Mu Yue cooks the food. They finish eating and had the boys be the lookout while the girls go to sleep.

Inside the tent, the three girls were laying in the ground. Liu Yang has noticed that Xiao Yan hugs Mu Yue when they are going to sleep.

"Xiao Yan, do you always hug Mu Yue when you guys are sleeping?" Liu Yang asked.

"Yes, that is also the reason why I stay in the same room as Mu Yue."

"Can't you just grab a pillow and hug it? Won't Mu Yue be bothered by that?"

"I hug Mu Yue because it's Mu Yue. We've been doing this for more than a month now."

Hearing this, Liu Yang decided to ask Mu Yue, "Aren't you bothered by her hugs? Like can you even sleep properly?"

"It's fine, her hugs are also comfortable. It makes me have a good night's sleep." Mu Yue replied.

"Then can I hug you too?" Liu Yang wants to know what made Xiao Yan adamant about hugging Mu Yue.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly said, "No, we are partners so we could do this. You don't want to be the third wheel right?"

Liu Yang then looked at the two. "Indeed, although it's weird for two girls to be like that. And yes, I won't be disturbing you two."

Xiao Yan was contented at this. Mu Yue was confused about what they were talking about so she decided to ask Xiao Yan, "What are you two talking about? Third wheel?"

"Nothing, it's just that I told her that we are best friends so we can do this. As for third wheel, it means unrelated." Xiao Yan explained.
