199: Physical overdraft

This Lord-level Eight-Winged Golden Eagle did not care at all that Yinglong was fighting in its original form.

The reason was simple: if Yinglong were to fight it one-on-one, the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle would be guaranteed victory.

Even though Yinglong had a massive body, it was still somewhat inferior in terms of combat power, speed, and every other aspect.

Even if Hou went up to help, they could only barely manage a draw.

Moreover, this Eight-Winged Golden Eagle seemed to be playing with them like a cat playing with a mouse.

They had been entangled in a fight in the sky for quite a while without a clear winner.

Yet, Yinglong and Hou were gradually showing signs of defeat.

"Could it be because of the previous exhaustion?"

Gu Xiaoyue thought to herself, but immediately dismissed this idea.

It was still the gap in level; a Lord-level beast had two or three times the combat power of an ordinary mature eleventh-rank ferocious beast.

Even if Yinglong and Hou were God Rank, was this chasm of levels ultimately impossible to cross?!

If Yinglong and Hou were Lord-level, they would probably have defeated the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle in just a few moves.

Gu Xiaoyue rode the wind and jumped onto Bi Fang's back. "Xiao Qi, Qingqing, you both go and help!"

Since Yinglong and Hou were a little lacking, what if Xiao Qi and Qingqing were added to the mix?

She narrowed her eyes, watching Xiao Qi rush into the battlefield and strike the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's left wing with a Thunderbolt Spell.

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle was somewhat exasperated.

"You have so many pet beasts; are you bullying me with numbers?"

Gu Xiaoyue brushed back her hair and crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, you guys have hundreds or thousands of ferocious beasts, and now you're telling me I have too many pet beasts? Stupid bird, do you know there's a term humans use called 'double standards'? That's you!"

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle naturally didn't really know what double standards were.

Although it had gained intelligence and could speak human language, it had never lived in the human world after all.

Gu Xiaoyue naturally didn't want to waste words with it; they had been fighting for so long, and it was draining for both Yinglong and Hou.

Her original plan was to count on Yinglong and Hou to finish it off and end the battle quickly!

It wasn't that she overestimated her own strength, but she had indeed underestimated this Lord-level Eight-Winged Golden Eagle.

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle was besieged by the four pet beasts and gradually began to show signs of defeat.

It began to lift its head and screech, not knowing if it was calling for help or trying to ward off the ferocious beasts behind it.

Regardless of the situation, she had to finish it off as soon as possible!

"Use your ultimate moves, kill it instantly!"

Gu Xiaoyue frowned tightly; she was impatient and still thinking about landing quickly to collect the corpses of the ferocious beasts.

Qingqing immediately cast Luan Song; even if it could only hard-control the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle for 0.1 seconds, that would be enough!

"Hahaha, this master hasn't tried this skill yet!"

Hou let out a laugh that rang through the heavens, and the moment the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle was controlled by Qingqing, it unleashed the World-Destroying Divine Fire.

Yinglong used Ice-Sealing World, while Xiao Qi combined Thunderbolt Spell and Wind Blade.

In that instant, the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle was half-frozen and half-burned; its throat was slashed by the Wind Blade, and its head was charred by the Thunderbolt Spell!

Before it could even wail, it was already dead.

It landed with a loud thud, smashing a huge pit into the ground.

Gu Xiaoyue's Mental Power was running low, and her body was swaying slightly.

"Land first—"

She whispered to Bi Fang.

Once Gu Xiaoyue landed, she immediately recalled Yinglong and Hou into the Yu Beast Space.

"Can you still hold on?"

She asked Xiao Qi, but she was already barely able to stand herself!

Xiao Qi didn't answer but transformed directly into human form and ran to support Chu Li and the others, continuing to slaughter the ferocious beasts on the ground.

By now, this wave of mature seventh-rank ferocious beasts had been more than half slaughtered, with about five hundred dead.

Ferocious beasts were still charging forward one after another from behind.

Gu Xiaoyue collected the corpse of the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle and also collected about three hundred other ferocious beast corpses.

She thought about leaving some for Deputy Li.

Of course, she wouldn't keep all the star coins from selling these ferocious beast corpses for herself.

She would definitely have to share the proceeds with Chu Li, Shui Lingyu, and He Zhichen.

But naturally, she would take the lion's share.

"Qingqing, Bi Fang, you go to the front to help too. If you run out of stamina, come find me; I must rest for a while!"

After saying this, she sat down next to Shui Lingyu and closed her eyes to rest.

Reflecting on the situation just now, if she didn't have enough pet beasts to engage in a war of attrition with that Eight-Winged Golden Eagle,

she likely wouldn't have been able to win. It was unlikely she would die here, as she still had invisibility and Xiao Hei to save her life.

But if her Mental Power were truly exhausted, wanting to use invisibility would be a pipe dream!

Now, injuries could be treated with Water Therapy, but Mental Power could not be replenished directly and could only be recovered through quiet rest.

If only there were spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, or medicinal pills that could directly restore Mental Power.

Gu Xiaoyue was too tired. In just one day, not only had she killed hundreds of mid-rank ferocious beasts,

but she had also killed two Lord-level ferocious beasts!

Consequently, while the battle was raging fiercely in front, she actually started snoring softly while sitting in the back.

Shui Lingyu looked at her sleeping face, his eyes full of worry and heartache.

Originally, she didn't need to be like this.

But because of the beast tide, Jingdong's transport stations had all been closed.

It was in a state where no one could enter or leave. Gu Xiaoyue's family, as well as Ye Wanrou, Chen Yixuan, and Fang Xiaoyu, were all still inside Jingdong City.

If the beast tide's surprise attack succeeded, Jingdong City would fall, and the people she wanted to protect would be in danger!

Therefore, Gu Xiaoyue could not lose, and none of them could lose!

After about half an hour, Gu Xiaoyue woke up with a start.

How did she fall asleep?!

She bit her lip hard; in such a critical moment, she had actually fallen asleep!

She called Qingqing to her side and asked.

"How many are left?"

"Not sure, I'll go count."

Before the words left her mouth, Qingqing had already flown into the air, circling to the back of the ferocious beasts to count.

It only took a little over a minute, and Qingqing returned.

"There are about a hundred left."

A hundred? When she fell asleep just now, there were over three hundred. So in these past thirty minutes or so,

they had only killed fewer than two hundred?

That was too slow!

Gu Xiaoyue looked toward the battlefield; Xiao Qi was so tired that it was leaning on the Po Di Zi Jin Spear, panting heavily.

Xiao Jiu could no longer spit out venom or flames; it was only spitting out smoke or thin streams of water.

Xiao Xiong had just released a few Earth Shields when its body began to sway, and it tilted its head back and fainted directly on the ground!

"Xiongxiong!"

Xiao Lü cried out, then its eyes became unfocused, and it fell over next to Xiao Xiong.

Gu Xiaoyue immediately rushed forward and recalled them all into the Yu Beast Space.

No wonder the killing was so slow.

Her pet beasts had all exhausted their stamina, or even overdrawn it.

As for the military soldiers, their pet beasts were not of a high level.

Although there were twenty of them, the main combat force still relied on Gu Xiaoyue's pet beasts and Chu Li's pet beasts.

"Brother, what's the situation with the reinforcements from the rear?!"

Chu Li was also so tired that his face was pale; He Zhichen was better off than him, but he was also covered in sweat.

"Several hours have passed since the beginning of the beast tide; are there still no reinforcements from the rear?"

He Zhiyong gritted his teeth and said,

"I just sent the request for reinforcements signal, and the reinforcements are already on their way!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue steadied her emotions and turned to Chu Li and He Zhichen.

"Go and rest!"

"And you?"

"I just finished resting!"

She was too embarrassed to say that she had actually fallen asleep, so she had to say she was rested.

Chu Li was a bit worried about her, but he also knew there was no need to argue at this time; taking turns resting was the best strategy.

It was the same for the pet beasts, and the same for the people!
