141: Night Baron Bandits
Gu Xiaoyue led Chu Li and Charlie into an alley.
She wanted Chu Li to take Charlie and leave first, but neither of these two agreed.
"Hey Yue, you just said I had the power to fight, were you teasing me?"
Chu Li also said, "Not knowing the opponent's strength, how can we let you fight alone!"
Gu Xiaoyue frowned; she had a stealth skill.
Even if the enemy had anti-stealth skills, she still had plant manipulation; as long as she controlled the opponent, she would have a much better chance of running away.
"Don't worry about me, you go first—"
Before she finished speaking, a female voice rang out, "Let you run away last time, not this time!"
Her tone was a bit strange; it was probably that beautiful foreign woman from last time.
Gu Xiaoyue's pupils shrank slightly; they had caught up so quickly and were ready to make a move!
It seemed that not only the Hanxing Grass, but also the Nevis Snow Mountain Secret Realm were fatal temptations for their Dark Night Baron Bandit Group!
She stood in front of Chu Li and Charlie, "Her strength is about the same as mine, very likely below mine.
If you don't leave, you'll just drag me down!"
Chu Li and Charlie looked at each other, still unable to make up their minds.
However, at this moment, the beautiful foreign woman appeared in front of them.
"None of you are leaving!"
Two cold glimmers headed straight for Gu Xiaoyue.
Gu Xiaoyue erected her Earth Shield, blocking Catherine's hidden weapon attack.
"Clang—"
"Clang—"
The two hidden weapons hit the Earth Shield, sparked, and then fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Li did not hesitate any longer, immediately turned invisible, summoned the Youming Tiger, and took Charlie into the hidden space to leave.
"Where are the people?"
Catherine was surprised at first; they had disappeared without a trace, just like last time.
Even their aura had disappeared, making them impossible to find.
Then her beautiful face became somewhat ferocious, "Hand over Howard quickly!"
Gu Xiaoyue sneered, "In your dreams!"
Before Catherine could make another move, she unleashed a Thunderbolt Spell first.
The aim was good, but Catherine was also quite skilled, jumping lightly.
Gu Xiaoyue's Thunderbolt Spell hit the spot where she had just been standing.
"You, not bad!"
Seeing Gu Xiaoyue use a pet beast's skill empty-handed, Catherine's tone and expression did not stint on her appreciation for Gu Xiaoyue.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoyue's brain rang.
The supplies she had listed for sale had all been sold, with a series of star coins arrival notification sounds.
Although Catherine's Long Country language was not good, she could probably hear that this was quite a lot of star coins.
"Tens of—billions? You, very rich, didn't expect it!"
Catherine laughed greedily, her eyes looking as if Gu Xiaoyue were a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Bandits are bandits, never changing their nature!
So what if I have money?
On the territory of the Long Country, you still want to rob me?"
The Dark Night Baron members who wanted to attack Charlie only had one appearing now.
That was the same as last time, the other one went to lure away the secret guards protecting Charlie.
Gu Xiaoyue also wanted to fight her, preferably to eliminate future trouble in one go!
But unexpectedly, the word "bandit" seemed to sting Catherine.
She shouted somewhat hysterically, "We are chivalrous thieves!
Chivalrous thieves, do you understand? Robbing the rich to help the poor, it's righteous!"
Gu Xiaoyue sneered at her.
"You just saw my star coins arrive, your greedy expression was apparent.
Bandits are bandits, what chivalrous thieves?
Stop trying to gild your own face!
Duke Howard's territory is the Country of the Setting Sun, one of the territories with the lowest taxes, and you guys still chased all the way from the Country of the Setting Sun.
It's just coveting people's supplies, really low-class!"
Gu Xiaoyue's impassioned speech was probably not fully understood by Catherine, but she could understand "bandit" and "low-class".
Catherine was completely enraged, her beautiful face becoming distorted.
She glared furiously, a powerful aura emanating from her body, "Shut up!
How dare you be so rude to a great chivalrous thief!"
While speaking, she summoned her pet beasts, a three-headed snake, and an ugly little elf the size of half a person wearing a red hat.
[Name]: Scarlet Three-Headed Snake
[Grade]: Heaven Grade Mid-Tier
[Attribute]: Wood Attribute, Earth Attribute
[Skills]: Wood Thorns (Mastery), Poison Fang (Advanced), Sand Throw (Advanced)
[Level]: Mature Stage Tier 6 Late
[Name]: Lime Elf
[Grade]: Heaven Grade Mid-Tier
[Attribute]: Wood Attribute, Wind Attribute
[Skills]: Plant Wither (Advanced), Wind Blade (Advanced)
[Level]: Mature Stage Tier 6 Mid
Seeing the pet beasts Catherine summoned, Gu Xiaoyue was certain she was at the quasi-legendary level!
Foreign aesthetics are hard to understand; they should prefer wild appearances, even if the pet beasts are already Mature Stage Tier 6, they didn't change their image.
Seeing the three-headed snake pouncing on her, Gu Xiaoyue was not panicked at all; she waved her hand, and several vines entangled the three-headed snake.
She knew the Lime Elf could cause plants to wither, so she wanted to see how fast the withering speed was.
Immediately, Gu Xiaoyue summoned Xiao Qi, Xiao Lv, and Xiao Mo.
Taking advantage of the three-headed snake being controlled, Xiao Mo used Yuan Absorption, starting to absorb its energy and upgrade experience.
The three-headed snake struggled hard, and the Lime Elf shook its withered fingers.
The vines entangling the three-headed snake began to wither gradually.
A flash of viciousness crossed Catherine's eyes; she raised her hand and threw a few more hidden weapons.
Gu Xiaoyue no longer erected the Earth Shield; two swords appeared in her hands.
She raised her swords to block the hidden weapons, and with a wave of her hand, more vines appeared.
This time, besides the Scarlet Three-Headed Snake, even the Lime Elf and Catherine were bound.
"You think this can trap me?"
Catherine didn't struggle; she ordered the Lime Elf to make the vines wrapped around her body wither.
Gu Xiaoyue realized that the Lime Elf's speed of causing plants to wither was not fast enough.
If she hadn't wanted Xiao Mo to absorb more experience, she wouldn't have bothered to continue entangling with Catherine.
"Xiao Qi!"
One three-headed snake didn't yield much absorption.
Gu Xiaoyue wanted to end the battle and called out to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi understood and unleashed a set of Thunderbolt Spell and Lightning Strike, almost splitting the three-headed snake into charcoal.
Only then did Catherine show a look of panic.
The thick makeup on her face also began to crack.
"Looking quite young, turns out the powder is so thick!"
Gu Xiaoyue also didn't expect such a beautiful woman to rely on makeup.
Catherine let out an exclamation and blurted out a few swear words.
She just wanted to command the Lime Elf to use Wind Blade, but before she could, they were wrapped even tighter by Xiao Lv's vines!
Catherine struggled a few times, and the more she struggled, the tighter the vines bound her!
Since the situation was lost, she was capable of bending and stretching.
"Beauty, let me go!
I only robbed a little money, if you let me go, I will change in the future!"
Catherine showed a pitiful expression.
"No longer claiming to be a chivalrous thief?"
Gu Xiaoyue looked at her begging for mercy and found it somewhat funny.
She would rather this foreign woman's bones be a bit tougher!
Gu Xiaoyue didn't intend to let her go either; she wanted to take her back for a good interrogation, but where should she be locked up?
As she was thinking, Catherine thought she had found a flaw.
She quietly loosened the withered vines, and a dagger stabbed towards Gu Xiaoyue's heart.
