The chapter begins with the Qing Fa Nü Zi rejecting Tian Huan's offer to join him, choosing to go solo instead, which impresses Shi Mu as she is the first Earth Stage Initial Warrior to do so. After she leaves, Ji Jiang, a young man from the Demon Race, proposes to the remaining group of Earth Stage warriors that they travel together for safety and better chances of hunting demon beasts. Despite some skepticism about the idea, many express interest in forming a team. Ji Jiang explains the benefits of collaboration and shares his plan to hunt Earth Stage demon beasts. Shi Mu and Zi Ling, who are on the outskirts, are drawn into the conversation, but Ji Jiang doubts Zi Ling's abilities and suggests she shouldn't join.

Shi Mu releases his spirit pet, Cai Er, who is playful and attracts Zi Ling's attention. The chapter ends with Shi Mu feeling uneasy about their peaceful surroundings and instructing Cai Er to scout ahead.
