197: Beast Tide experience increases rapidly

Gu Xiaoyue had just finished collecting the corpses of the mature Tier 4 fierce beasts, and mature Tier 5 fierce beasts appeared in their field of vision.

They fought using the same pattern as before. Gu Xiaoyue had learned her lesson this time; as soon as she absorbed enough experience points, she would immediately feed them to Xiao Qi, then absorb another wave, repeating the process.

He Zhiyong arrived at the battlefield and watched Gu Xiaoyue's pet beasts fighting on the front lines.

Meanwhile, his younger brother, He Zhichen, could only pick up scraps on the side.

He found it a bit hard to watch, but there was no help for it—they were brothers!

Besides, He Zhichen's strength was indeed inferior to the others, so picking up scraps was still a contribution, making him somewhat useful.

"Brother, you're here!"

He was quite excited to see He Zhiyong arrive to provide support.

"Yeah, can you still hold on?"

He Zhiyong felt he had asked a rather stupid question.

He Zhichen simply made a gesture for him to look, while simultaneously reporting the results of Qingqing's recent reconnaissance.

As of now, Gu Xiaoyue, Chu Li, and Shui Lingyu, along with his younger brother who was just tagging along, were still handling things with ease.

"Brother, you've come too..."

Gu Xiaoyue was a bit surprised by He Zhiyong's arrival, as well as the presence of Deputy Li beside him.

She couldn't help but frown; he wasn't here to snatch the fierce beast corpses from her, was he?

Although He Zhiyong had promised everything to her, this Deputy Li was quite troublesome.

He Zhiyong had no idea what was running through her mind and assumed she was just tired.

"Why don't you take a break?"

"No need! Brother, you all should rest on the side. Besides, you promised me that all these fierce beast corpses are mine!"

After saying this, Gu Xiaoyue cast a vigilant glance at Deputy Li.

Although she still had plenty of spirit fruits left to sell, this was a chance to increase combat experience while also obtaining fierce beast corpses that could be sold for a good amount of star coins. She wouldn't mind if the beast tide happened a few more times!

He Zhiyong rubbed his forehead. What exactly was he here for?

To rest?

Besides, what about those hundreds of mature Tier 4 fierce beast corpses from before?

Had she collected them all?

He had indeed promised Gu Xiaoyue that as long as her Yu Beast Space could hold them, she could have them all!

But just how large was her Yu Beast Space?

Thus, He Zhiyong took a squad of soldiers to rest on the side, watching Gu Xiaoyue engage in another wave of frenzied slaughter!

After over six hundred mature Tier 5 fierce beasts were successfully slaughtered, their corpses were all collected into her Yu Beast Space.

The entire process took no more than a dozen minutes!

Deputy Li was dumbfounded; this was the pace of leaving absolutely no corpses behind!

"Brother, how is the rear support? Are there any high-tier officers coming to support?"

Gu Xiaoyue sat down to rest and asked casually.

If it were only Song Jun, Dong Qihui, and He Zhiyong, then if they encountered a Monarch-level fierce beast, everyone would be done for!

"A squad of soldiers arrived before I departed, but currently, there are likely no high-tier Beastmasters or officers at the rear."

He Zhiyong spoke in a calm tone; as a soldier, he had long since put life and death aside.

To protect the peace of the Dragon Kingdom, dying in the beast tide for one's country would be a death with honor!

"No rush. I can still kill two more waves. Brother, you should only step in when the mature Tier 8 fierce beasts arrive."

Gu Xiaoyue took the opportunity to close her eyes and rest. Bi Fang in the Yu Beast Space began to make a fuss; it had already reached the mid-stage of mature Tier 5, but it had never been out to fight.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you fight in a bit!"

The number of mature Tier 6 fierce beasts was slightly smaller, so Gu Xiaoyue recalled Xiao Lv into the Yu Beast Space to rest.

These two waves of fierce beast attacks had relied mainly on Xiao Lv's plant manipulation for control, which consumed a lot of Mental Power.

The benefit of having many pet beasts was being able to take turns; she also recalled Xiao Jiu, Yinglong, and Hou.

Hou shouted in dissatisfaction, "Woman, I didn't even use Fire Sea, I worked hard slashing them one by one, and you're making me go back?!"

Ever since he used Fire Sea and was criticized by Gu Xiaoyue, he and Yinglong had been using weapons to slash and cut down the fierce beasts one by one.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it allowed them to have a good time killing, so naturally, they didn't want to return to the Yu Beast Space.

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Just settle down for a bit, you'll be on the field again in a while!"

After saying this, she continued to rest, while mentally calculating how to deal with the incoming fierce beasts.

Less than a minute later, they all felt the ground trembling even more violently than the previous two waves.

The system would give Gu Xiaoyue achievement rewards at mature Tier 1 and Tier 6.

This was because mature Tier 1 and Tier 6 beasts differed significantly in strength and size compared to the previous tiers.

They were larger in size, so while their numbers were not as high as the mature Tier 5 fierce beasts, the ground tremors were undeniably more intense!

Seeing that this wave of mature Tier 6 fierce beasts was about to press right up to them, Gu Xiaoyue suddenly opened her eyes and flew into mid-air, riding the wind.

She raised her hand, using several Earth Shields to surround a dozen or so fierce beasts, and then summoned Bi Fang.

Bi Fang and the Lihuo Red-Eyed Beast used a ring of fire to control and divide the battlefield, each controlling dozens of fierce beasts.

Those that tried to break through the encirclement of the fire ring were burned alive by Bi Fang, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Gu Xiaoyue started feeling the pinch again. "Baby Bi Fang, if you can control them, don't burn them to ash for me!"

Xiao Mo performed Yuan Absorption on dozens of them, and his experience points were skyrocketing.

Gu Xiaoyue absorbed two more waves of experience and fed Xiao Qi a full six times before he barely managed to advance from the mid-stage of mature Tier 9 to the late-stage!

She wiped away some sweat; nowadays, if you want to level up quickly, you either have to work hard to absorb experience or eat spirit plants and immortal herbs.

She swallowed her saliva; she'd better stick to working hard!

Besides the hundred or so fierce beasts that were being controlled, Xiao Qi used Wind Blades to slaughter them in batches, drawing the attention of all the soldiers.

"This young girl, she looks so delicate and weak, but when she starts killing fierce beasts, she doesn't show any mercy at all!"

"Her pet beasts look so exquisite and high-level; she must be the sheltered daughter of some great family! Tsk tsk, she must have spent a fortune!"

"Need you say it? She must have come to the playground to play and is just helping to defend against the beast tide in passing!"

"This heroic posture, she must have been raised by some Marshal or General!"

Deputy Li, standing on the side, found this all so awkward!

If she really were a junior from a great family, would she still insist on taking these fierce beast corpses?

With such a strong family background, why compete with them for this bit of subsidy?

His thinking wasn't wrong, but Gu Xiaoyue was the one fighting on the front lines, while the soldiers remained completely unscathed!

Even if Gu Xiaoyue took all the spoils of war, it wouldn't be a problem at all!

Wave after wave of Yuan Absorption, and Xiao Mo had already advanced from the mid-stage of mature Tier 6 to the late-stage.

In less than a day, he had actually leveled up two minor stages, and without needing to sleep, and with absolutely no side effects!

Gu Xiaoyue once again—for the umpteenth time—regretted the spirit plants she had fed him before—what a damn huge loss!

However, upon second thought, she felt relieved.

The reason Xiao Mo could level up so quickly, and that she could absorb so much experience for Xiao Qi, was because of this medium-scale beast tide!

Otherwise, where would she have the opportunity to absorb the experience levels of fierce beasts so recklessly in normal times?

The fierce beasts that she and Xiao Mo had performed Yuan Absorption on were listless, and many had even dropped in level, making them even easier to kill.

In just half an hour, over four hundred mature Tier 6 fierce beasts were completely slaughtered.

This wasn't a beast tide; it was practically a performance show for Gu Xiaoyue and her team!

She collected all the fierce beast corpses once again, and the soldiers not far away actually started clapping and cheering.

This frenzy was much like the fans who had previously treated Gu Xiaoyue as their idol!

Gu Xiaoyue felt a bit awkward; she smiled and waved at them, and it was met with another round of enthusiastic response!
