194: Kill a lord-level beast
Gu Xiaoyue nodded; the Demini Amusement Park was in the suburbs of Jingdong City.
It had only been a little over an hour since He Zhichen sounded the alarm, so He Zhiyong's arrival could be considered quite fast.
After all, he knew the situation required immediate deployment, and personnel arrangements had to be reported to superiors to request reinforcements.
He was likely busy coordinating personnel the entire time on his way here.
"Brother, let's discuss something!"
Gu Xiaoyue curled her lips, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
"Hmm? What is it?"
He Zhiyong was a bit puzzled; the girl hadn't stopped her attacks, so what could she possibly want to discuss with him?
"The beast carcasses—anything my Yu Beast Space can fit, I want to take away!"
He Zhiyong was dumbfounded. Was she already eyeing the beast carcasses before the battle had even ended?
She really wasn't taking the beast tide seriously at all!
Then again, she was just a young girl still in school; how could she know the cruelty of a beast tide?
He Zhiyong nodded in agreement, "If you can survive until the end, you can take away as many beast carcasses as you can carry!"
Originally, these beast carcasses were meant to be confiscated, but no one would specifically keep track of exactly how many there were.
The star coins earned from selling the collected carcasses were used as pensions or subsidies for the soldiers who participated in the battle.
He Zhiyong agreed to Gu Xiaoyue's request also because he figured that, as a young girl, she shouldn't be able to take much!
Upon hearing He Zhiyong's agreement, Gu Xiaoyue's offensive became even fiercer!
A Lord-level beast carcass was worth quite a lot of star coins!
Xiao Qi, Yinglong, and Hou, feeling Gu Xiaoyue's soaring fighting spirit, also became even more excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline!
With a dragon's roar, Yinglong unleashed a Thunderbolt Spell, striking the left wing of the Lord-level Eight-Winged Golden Eagle directly!
The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle let out a shrill cry that echoed through the sky and lingered for a long time!
"Brother, do you think it's signaling for the main force of beasts to come quickly?"
Gu Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes and asked He Zhiyong.
Relying on his many years of combat experience, He Zhiyong felt she was right.
"I'm afraid so!"
"Then let's finish it off quickly so we can focus on dealing with the beast tide behind it!"
Gu Xiaoyue's fighting spirit surged even higher, and she was incredibly excited.
He Zhiyong and Hou dealt with the mature tenth-rank Eight-Winged Golden Eagle, and before long, they had burned the feathers off its wings and inflicted heavy damage on its neck.
Its physical condition could no longer support it in continuing the fight, so it let out a mournful cry and fell vertically to the ground.
"Boom!"
Its massive body hit the ground, and it felt as if the entire ground trembled for a moment.
Gu Xiaoyue licked her lips, "It's mine!"
Hou also landed and checked the condition of that Eight-Winged Golden Eagle.
Although it had lost its fighting spirit and was barely breathing, it hadn't completely kicked the bucket yet.
To prevent it from counterattacking, Hou directly snapped its neck with his bare hands.
He then called Xiao Jiu over to guard it, as this was the carcass Gu Xiaoyue wanted!
"Oh right, tell Chu Li that she wants the white ape's carcass too!"
After giving these instructions, Hou returned to the sky to fight, as there was still one last Lord-level Eight-Winged Golden Eagle left to deal with.
"You're becoming more and more sensible!"
Gu Xiaoyue received Hou's telepathic message and was very pleased to know he was helping her guard the beast carcass.
"That's just because I'm thinking that in the future, when you have good things, you'll share more with me!"
Hou curled his lips, speaking the truth.
There was nothing to hide; if he wanted something, he would strive for it.
He wouldn't do that twisted thing of wanting something inside but pretending not to care on the surface!
He Zhiyong's arrival, while unable to help Gu Xiaoyue immediately overwhelm the opposition, allowed her to catch her breath.
Now, this Lord-level beast was being besieged by four high-rank pet beasts, and it was at the end of its rope; it was clear it wouldn't last much longer!
It wanted to disengage and escape, but its retreat was also completely blocked by Hou.
"Didn't expect to fall here, did you! Dead bird!"
Gu Xiaoyue mocked it, throwing various attacks at it.
The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle glared with wide, angry eyes, but seeing the excited expression in her eyes, a sense of fear couldn't help but rise from the bottom of its heart.
Her gaze—her gaze alone was enough to tear it apart alive!
Was that the gaze of a normal human girl?
It could see the slaughter in her eyes, like a warrior who had experienced countless battles!
The body may perish, but the battle soul is immortal!
The fear rising from the heart of the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle gradually turned into despair; it was unwilling to die here like this!
Taking advantage of the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's momentary distraction, Xiao Qi unleashed both Wind Blade and Lightning Strike simultaneously.
The Wind Blade grazed its neck, leaving a deep bloody gash, and the Lightning Strike hit its right wing.
Hou also took the opportunity to unleash a Fire Sea upon its tail feathers.
In an instant, the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's tail feathers turned into scorched plumes, cracking and shattering into black charcoal dust!
The angry and desperate Eight-Winged Golden Eagle used all its remaining strength to launch a final attack at He Zhiyong!
It had participated in several beast tides, and this man was wearing a military uniform; even if it died, it wanted to drag him down as a cushion!
He Zhiyong's Golden-Winged Unicorn wanted to dodge, but it was trapped by the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's pressure and couldn't move even a fraction.
Just as He Zhiyong was about to be smashed to pieces by the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's attack—an Earth Shield suddenly blocked in front of him!
The Earth Shield was shattered to pieces, but He Zhiyong wasn't harmed in the slightest!
Its final attack missed, and the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle let out a desperate cry.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoyue, Xiao Qi, and Yinglong simultaneously unleashed the Thunderbolt Spell, all striking the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle and roasting it to a crisp!
It was finally resolved. Gu Xiaoyue watched the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle flutter down to the ground and let out a sigh of relief.
She landed with her pet beasts and was just about to collect the carcasses of these beasts, but unexpectedly, she saw Xiao Jiu and the others surrounded by several soldiers, arguing fiercely.
"Move aside quickly; these beast carcasses are all to be confiscated!"
The commanding deputy was a bit impatient. He was just about to collect the carcasses when he was blocked by these humanoid pet beasts. With so many Beastmasters watching, where would they put their faces?
Xiao Jiu didn't speak, instead guarding Xiao Xiong, Xiao Lv, and Xiao Mo behind him with a gloomy expression.
The white ape's carcass was also separated by an Earth Shield, making it clear that they wouldn't let these soldiers take the carcasses away.
"What's going on?"
Gu Xiaoyue walked over and, with a wave of her hand, collected both the white ape's carcass and the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's carcass into her Yu Beast Space.
Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and still didn't speak, just looking a bit aggrieved.
Xiao Xiong wanted a hug and complained, "This beast was killed by Master, so naturally the carcass should belong to Master, but they insisted on coming to snatch it!"
"Did you just collect the beast carcass? If you have any sense, hand it over immediately!
If we hadn't come to provide support, how could you have killed these high-rank beasts? Since that's the case, they should of course be confiscated!"
Deputy Li pointed at Gu Xiaoyue's nose and ordered her to hand over the beast carcasses.
Chu Li leaned over and said, "It was clearly only after we had beaten the beasts to the brink that you arrived!"
Gu Xiaoyue picked up Xiao Xiong and recalled the other pet beasts into her Yu Beast Space.
She didn't really want to bicker with these soldiers; after all, there was still a tough battle to fight later, so she should try to rest.
But she wouldn't easily let go of what belonged to her.
"After these beast carcasses are confiscated, can you tell me where the star coins go?"
