204: Eight-winged golden eagle commits suicide

As the Purple Flame Hornet advanced a step, the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle retreated a step.

From Gu Xiaoyue's perspective, it was truly inexplicably amusing.

The two of them were in a stalemate, while on the side of the Giant Spirit White Vulture and Xiao Qi, it was a one-sided, wanton slaughter.

Because they were all mature ninth and tenth-tier flying ferocious beasts, even if Xiao Qi, Yinglong, and Hou used their finishing moves.

They wouldn't be reduced to charred corpses by lightning or fire, and most of the ferocious beast corpses that fell to the ground could still be sold for star coins!

In just a few minutes, the flying ferocious beasts in the sky had been slaughtered completely.

Gu Xiaoyue felt more at ease, her eyes burning as she stared at the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle.

"The corpses of your two brothers are lying in my Yu Beast Space; I'll have you reunited immediately!"

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's eyes were bloodshot, and its shrill cry made her instinctively cover her ears.

"You bully birds too much!!"

After roaring, it seemed to use all its strength to throw several Wind Blades at Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue frowned, and five layers of Earth Shield appeared in front of her, coupled with wind manipulation to weaken the speed and damage of the Wind Blades.

Even though this wave of attacks was the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's desperate attempt, the wind manipulation had little effect.

The five layers of Earth Shield were shattered, yet three Wind Blades remained, slashing directly at Gu Xiaoyue!

Just as Gu Xiaoyue was about to raise more Earth Shields to defend, a deep blue barrier appeared before her eyes.

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's Wind Blades struck the barrier, as if wind dissolving into water.

They only left a few ripples on the barrier before vanishing without a trace!

This is—Water Shield!

Gu Xiaoyue turned her gaze to catch the smile on Qian Ce's lips and nodded at him in gratitude.

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle, acting as if mad, flapped its wings and continued to roar in anger.

"I want to avenge my brothers; you all must die! Ah—"

Before it finished roaring, it was struck by a Thunderbolt Spell from both Xiao Qi and Yinglong.

The entire back of the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle was scorched bald by the lightning, and it was charred black, emitting white smoke.

"You—you—"

"You what, you!"

The Giant Spirit White Vulture couldn't help but retort aloud, raising its wings to release a Thunderbolt Spell as well.

It struck the base of the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's tail directly!

Its tail feathers instantly turned into charcoal; not only was its back bald, but its tail was bald too!

Now the situation had reversed; the flying pet beasts were all dead, and only the Lord-level Eight-Winged Golden Eagle survived.

Not only was it surrounded by all of Gu Xiaoyue's flying pet beasts, but also Qian Ce's two flying pet beasts.

The Eight-Winged Golden Eagle knew the situation was lost and let out one final roar.

"It's useless for you to notify that Monarch-level Mountain Demon; if you dare to plot a surprise attack against us, you should be prepared to leave your lives behind!"

Gu Xiaoyue whipped out several vines, wrapping them around the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle's neck.

The heavily injured Eight-Winged Golden Eagle was restrained, its voice becoming even hoarser.

It seemed that what had been scorched by the lightning was not just its back and tail, but also its throat.

"Master, how about we use it as a beast hostage?"

The Giant Spirit White Vulture asked, feeling somewhat unsettled after hearing there would be a Monarch-level ferocious beast later.

Unexpectedly, its casual question became the final straw that broke the Eight-Winged Golden Eagle.

"You want to use me to threaten my big brother? In your dreams! I won't let you do that even if I die!"

With those words, this Eight-Winged Golden Eagle dove headfirst and fell to its death!

Gu Xiaoyue looked at the Giant Spirit White Vulture with a speechless expression.

Seriously, buddy, do you have to say your strategies out loud?

Besides, doesn't this dead bird have a brain? It committed suicide over one sentence!

The Giant Spirit White Vulture was also confused; the Master hadn't even given the order, and it had already killed itself...

Gu Xiaoyue recalled her other pet beasts, leaving only Qingqing and Xiao Qi outside.

Because of Qian Ce's support, the soldiers and Beastmasters with sufficient capabilities from the rear had arrived.

The ferocious beasts on the ground had also been mostly slaughtered.

After landing, Gu Xiaoyue began collecting the ferocious beast corpses.

She collected all the flying ferocious beast corpses and also gathered a small portion of the mature ninth-tier ferocious beast corpses on the ground.

"She, she, she—"

Deputy Li pointed at Gu Xiaoyue, her actions leaving him speechless; he stammered for a long time without being able to get a word out.

"Alright, stop talking."

He Zhiyong knew what Deputy Li wanted to say and waved his hand, telling him to be quiet.

He couldn't figure out Gu Xiaoyue's train of thought either; stuffing spirit fruits worth hundreds of millions each into her mouth.

And picking up ferocious beast corpses worth hundreds of thousands to millions each with such enthusiasm.

How many ferocious beast corpses would one have to sell to trade for a hua yu fruit!

How could He Zhiyong know that the male and female Hua Yu Trees in Gu Xiaoyue's Yu Beast Space were extremely affectionate.

The hua yu fruit was in oversupply, and its quantity had long since exceeded that of the tianling fruit and Soul Exchange Fruit.

So much so that even after eating and distributing over a dozen hua yu fruits, there were still over forty left in the Yu Beast Space.

That was more than a dozen more than the tianling fruit and Soul Exchange Fruit.

Gu Xiaoyue finished collecting the ferocious beast corpses she wanted, and "thoughtfully" left about half for the military.

Returning to Xiao Lan's side, she saw Dong Qihui, whose eyes were red but who had long since calmed down.

"Is Bo Zai okay now?"

Xiao Lan blinked its deep blue eyes, nodding as its long silver eyelashes fluttered.

Dong Qihui, however, grumbled.

"I asked for a long time, but he wouldn't say anything, just like a decoration!"

It wasn't that Xiao Lan didn't understand Dong Qihui; it simply didn't want to pay attention to him.

As if in his world, in his eyes, there was only Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and explained.

"My pet beast is too low-level to speak yet; it's good that Bo Zai is fine!"

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you saved Bo Zai, I would have returned that slap you gave me tenfold!"

Dong Qihui pouted, looking aggrieved.

Gu Xiaoyue scratched her head awkwardly; truly, men remain boys until death.

Dong Qihui looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but his tone sounded like he was acting spoiled.

"Alright, alright, the situation was critical at the time, and I did it subconsciously—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Dong Qihui glared at her and then turned to leave.

Gu Xiaoyue, not knowing what she had said wrong, froze for a second.

She recalled Xiao Lan and Xiao Lu into the Yu Beast Space.

Feng Zhengde, not far away, had a glimmer of shrewdness flash in his eyes.

Good thing he didn't make a move during the beast tide; Qian Ce and Song Jun looked like they wouldn't be easy to deal with!

And that girl actually had a Silver-Tailed Merman pet beast!

A sinister smile appeared on Feng Zhengde's face; those pet beasts would all be his for the taking!

Taking advantage of the fact that the last wave of ferocious beasts hadn't arrived yet, Feng Zhengde walked over to Gu Xiaoyue.

"Young lady, your strength is impressive; which academy are you a student of?"

Gu Xiaoyue's eyes showed a hint of wariness, but she answered politely.

"I am from Nanya Academy."

"Oh, oh, Nanya Academy, no wonder—"

Just as Feng Zhengde was about to continue exchanging pleasantries, he was interrupted by the noisy commotion nearby.

"Qingqing is my partner; can you stay further away?!"

Fire Phoenix held Qingqing's hand, shielding her behind him.

A white-haired man in a white suit was holding a freshly picked rose, gesturing to give it to Qingqing.

Gu Xiaoyue said "excuse me" and went to mediate their argument.

On the surface, Feng Zhengde smiled and nodded, but while everyone's attention was drawn by the commotion over there.

He flicked his finger, and a black, ultra-thin tracking sticker stuck onto the button of Gu Xiaoyue's clothing.
