309: Xin Mulan: Even though the mount is dead, it can still be eaten

On the battlefield, Xing Mulan and the Yao Beast engaged in a fierce battle.

Xing Mulan wielded her Magical Artifact, unleashing raging flames that lunged at the Yao Beast like a fiery Dragon.

The Yao Beast was struck by the flames, black smoke rose from its body, and it let out a painful howl.

The Yao Beast, clearly injured after taking a hit, began to dodge Xing Mulan's flames.

The Yao Beast was nimble, dodging attacks like lightning, making it impossible for Xing Mulan and the others to catch its figure.

Xing Mulan gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes wide, trying to keep up with the Yao Beast's movements.

However, the Yao Beast's speed far exceeded their reactions; its sharp claws and pointed teeth swung in the air, each attack carrying a fatal threat.

Xing Mulan and the others dodged the Yao Beast's attacks, but the wounds on their bodies grew more numerous.

Blood gradually stained their clothes, while in contrast, the Gu only lost a few insignificant feathers.

Just at this critical moment, Feng He and Old Qin finally arrived at the battle scene…

Xin Mulan looked at Feng He and Old Qin with an anxious expression, saying irritably, "You're finally here! My flames only hit that guy once, but the annoying thing is, we're all almost covered in blood now!"

Feng He's gaze swept over the traces of blood flowing from their bodies, and he actually joked, "Oh, what a pity, if I could, I'd really like to suck all that blood for you all, that way no more blood would be lost, and it wouldn't go to waste!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he even deliberately revealed four sharp teeth, provocatively staring at the others.

Everyone present stared at Feng He in astonishment, muttering to themselves, "Can you please listen to what nonsense you're saying!"

At this moment, Old Qin put his hand on Feng He's shoulder and teased, "If you keep spouting such nonsense, even if they aren't killed by the Yao Beast, they'll probably be scared to death by you!"

Feng He, however, shrugged indifferently and retorted, "Hehe, I just felt the atmosphere was too tense, so I told a joke to lighten things up for everyone."

Hearing this, the few people present were instantly speechless…

The Gu, meanwhile, stared intently at the two newly arrived "food" items, its eyes revealing an increasingly intense excitement.

For it, no matter how many people came, they were just extra rations, posing no threat whatsoever.

However, there was a hint of sadistic pleasure in its gaze towards the twin-tailed girl (Xin Mulan).

It secretly pondered, "This Female two-legged beast is so strange; the flames she releases can actually harm me, and even stranger, when struck by the flames, there's an inexplicable sense of familiarity that surges in my heart."

The Gu tried to recall, but it could never determine the source of this feeling.

It thought, "Who cares who she is, she's just today's food, no matter what."

As soon as it thought of the "food" being so close, and its mouth-watering taste, the Gu could no longer suppress the restlessness in its heart.

Thus, the Gu no longer hesitated and launched a fierce attack, attempting to turn everyone present into its meal.

At this moment, dusk was falling, and night was descending; the Gu's appetite grew even stronger, and it couldn't wait to enjoy this lavish dinner…

Just then, Feng He's face suddenly underwent a drastic change; his eyes turned blood-red, his fangs grotesquely revealed themselves, and his normally normal fingernails rapidly elongated, like sharp claws.

Facing the Gu's fierce attack, the crowd did not retreat; they cooperated closely, forming a encirclement once again, jointly confronting this terrifying enemy.

Xin Mulan and Ke Ming occupied two corners of the sky respectively; Phoenix flames and thousands of Flying Swords simultaneously descended from the sky, striking the Gu like raindrops.

On the ground, Old Qin and Feng He were the main force; they bravely charged at the Gu, engaging in close combat.

For a time, the battle was exceptionally fierce, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Hu Bingbing and the others on the side were responsible for assisting everyone and using wind to entangle the Gu at critical moments.

During the fierce battle with the Yao Beast, the Yao Beast was slightly negligent, and Qin Zhe seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

His movements were as fast as lightning, instantly breaking the balance of the battle.

He successfully swung a sword, cutting one of the Yao Beast's large legs.

The injured Gu let out a series of urgent and sharp cries, continuously launching fierce attacks.

At the same time, it was also vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Finally, the Gu in the air suddenly pounced on Ke Ming; due to the vast disparity in strength, Ke Ming was unable to resist the Gu's attack and could only watch helplessly as the Gu escaped.

Seeing the Gu flee, Xin Mulan immediately wanted to chase after it.

Unfortunately, the Gu's speed was too fast; even if they flew on Flying Swords, it was difficult to catch up, so they simply gave up the pursuit.

Xin Mulan landed on the ground with an angry expression, muttering, "Damn it, it actually got away!"

Old Qin silently put away his weapon and said helplessly, "Its speed is like lightning; we can't catch up at all, so we might as well give up."

He looked around at the traces of battle on the ground and sighed deeply, "Besides, the most urgent task is to immediately treat the injured."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zheng, who had been hiding in the distance, appeared before everyone, clutching his wound.

Yang Zheng said nothing, quickly took out Medicinal Pills that restored Qi and Spiritual Qi, and distributed them to everyone to treat their injuries and replenish their depleted Spiritual Qi.

However, at this moment, Lan Kun, who had been holding on, finally couldn't support himself and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Ke Ming, who was closest to Lan Kun, reacted first, crying out in panic, "Lan Kun?"

The others immediately gathered around; Yang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to check Lan Kun's condition, then shook his head and said, "We must return to the camp immediately; there are more Medicinal Pills there. He needs quiet recuperation, and he's lost too much blood."

Old Qin carried Lan Kun on his back, and Feng He supported Yang Zheng, steadily walking away first.

Hu Bingbing came to the small riverbank, looking at the dying Flame-Spraying Fish, her face filled with endless helplessness and regret.

She sighed deeply, murmuring to herself, "Alas, my newly subdued mount has become so weak in the blink of an eye. This is just too hard for me…"

Ke Ming saw this situation, walked forward, and gently patted Hu Bingbing's shoulder, comforting her, "Don't be sad. Take it back and treat it well first. After some time, it will regain its vitality and be lively again."

Hu Bingbing felt a little better after hearing Ke Ming's words.

She carefully put the Flame-Spraying Fish into her body, then nodded and said, "Hmm, I hope so, otherwise if my newly subdued mount is gone just like that, I'll be heartbroken to death… sob sob sob…"

Just then, Xin Mulan also came to the small river.

She happened to see Hu Bingbing put away something, and from the aura, it should be a Yao Beast, and it seemed to have a high cultivation level.

Thinking that the Yao Beast's meat must be very delicious, she asked with a smile, "Bingbing, what kind of Yao Beast did you just kill? Can you share some of its meat with me?"

The Flame-Spraying Fish inside Hu Bingbing's body suddenly trembled for no reason, and this slight anomaly immediately alerted Hu Bingbing.

She keenly noticed the Flame-Spraying Fish's tremor just now and curiously observed its reaction.

However, after only a few seconds of trembling, the Flame-Spraying Fish became still again.

Hu Bingbing showed a playful smile on her face and turned her gaze to Xin Mulan.

She deliberately said in a teasing tone, "Oh, I really can't share even a little bit! Darling~"

Xin Mulan's eyes widened upon hearing this, showing a surprised expression.

She asked in confusion, "The Yao Beast is so big, you definitely can't eat it all by yourself, why can't you share a little?"

She really couldn't understand why, if there was too much food to eat, she couldn't be given a little bit.

At this moment, Ke Ming, who had been silently listening on the side, finally couldn't hold back.

She laughed and interjected, "Mulan, you don't know, that's Bingbing's mount, how can it be shared with others?"

Ke Ming's words were like a flash of lightning, instantly making Xin Mulan realize.

Xin Mulan's eyes were filled with shock; she looked at Hu Bingbing in disbelief, letting out a gasp of surprise, "Eh~"
