205: Dislocation Space

Only after Gu Xiaoyue walked closer did she realize that Qian Ce's Giant Spirit White Vulture was trying to court Qingqing.

"Seriously, Major, aren't you going to control your pet?"

Chu Li was a bit annoyed. Qingqing and the Fire Phoenix were already a pair; why was this white bird coming over to cause trouble!

"A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman. The Giant Spirit White Vulture hasn't actively pursued a mate in a long time; after all, there aren't many pets out there that are a match for him."

Qian Ce raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Xiaoyue with some helplessness.

"That is true, Lord-level pets are very rare. But Qingqing and the Fire Phoenix are a pair now!"

Gu Xiaoyue scratched her head awkwardly. "The main thing is, isn't it a bit of a bad time to be talking about this?"

Very soon, the Monarch-level fierce beast would arrive with the last batch of mature tenth-rank fierce beasts.

Yet the Giant Spirit White Vulture was busy fighting the Fire Phoenix for the right to court Qingqing.

Gu Xiaoyue shook her head silently, mentally giving it a '666'.

"You're right, I'll tell the Giant Spirit White Vulture to tone it down. However—the Qingluan and the Fire Phoenix haven't mated yet, so shouldn't the Giant Spirit White Vulture still have a chance?"

After saying this, Qian Ce gave Gu Xiaoyue a meaningful look before turning to discipline the Giant Spirit White Vulture.

The minor disturbance passed, and Gu Xiaoyue felt exhausted.

After disciplining the Giant Spirit White Vulture, Qian Ce went to greet Feng Zhengde. The final wave of fierce beasts would rely on them and Song Jun as the main combat force.

Song Jun suggested that the students, including Gu Xiaoyue, should evacuate, but it was too late in the day, and escorting them away would only disperse their combat strength.

"Try your best not to intervene; stand further back."

Song Jun's expression was serious as he directed the less powerful supporters and Gu Xiaoyue's group.

"Hey, hey, there's no need for that. This girl is quite capable!"

Feng Zhengde waved at Gu Xiaoyue, signaling her to stand by his side.

"It's fine to watch from up close; Grandpa will protect you!"

Gu Xiaoyue walked over expressionlessly, even though she felt this old man was up to no good.

She was simply confident enough in her own strength. Regardless, she would try not to intervene, and if there was any danger, she would just turn invisible and run!

She had already recalled her pets into the Yu Beast Space; no one would be able to ambush her!

Everyone waited earnestly for a while; the atmosphere was serious and tense.

Occasionally, soldiers who couldn't hold it in and wanted to chat to relieve the pressure were reprimanded by Song Jun.

Just when everyone thought the final wave of the beast tide had been called off, the ground began to shake.

The tremors became increasingly violent, thud by thud, enough to shake everyone's hearts out of their chests.

Because these tremors were not chaotic, but rhythmic.

This frequency was like a giant, stepping closer to them step by step.

"It's here! Everyone, be on guard!"

Song Jun shouted, and following his direction, a giant fierce beast resembling a small hill appeared in everyone's field of vision.

[Name]: Linshan Mountain Demon

[Grade]: Earth-tier Top-grade

[Attribute]: Wood Attribute, Space Attribute

[Skills]: Plant Manipulation (Perfect), poison mist (Perfect), Spatial Displacement (Perfect)

[Level]: Monarch-level

Seeing the Mountain Demon's attributes, Gu Xiaoyue's heart began to pound wildly.

This was the most powerful fierce beast she had seen since she transmigrated, and she was so excited!

She even developed the thought of contracting it!

"System, can you help me contract it? Just like how you contracted Bi Fang before?"

Gu Xiaoyue rarely initiated contact with the system; her relationship with the system was like some kind of employment arrangement.

The system issued tasks, and she received rewards upon completion.

Even many achievement rewards were like that.

Gu Xiaoyue had never made any demands of the system, and up until now, she was very satisfied with it.

But she was not a saint; she had desires.

She longed to become stronger, to be able to stand completely on her own, and powerful pets were a necessity for that!

The system fell silent for a moment; there was no sound.

Gu Xiaoyue urged it and asked again.

"Ding—Host, if you want to contract this Mountain Demon, the system must remind you that its attribute panel will revert to its initial attributes!"

She felt as if the system had poured a bucket of cold water over her head.

That's right, it would revert to its initial attribute state.

Bi Fang had also gone from Mature 3rd rank back to Young life stage 1.

Perhaps it didn't have any fortuitous encounters, so its grade didn't change.

But the Mountain Demon before her had truly impressive attributes right now.

But who knew how long it had cultivated, or how many fortuitous encounters it had experienced, to develop into its current strength!

While Gu Xiaoyue was still thinking, the other soldiers and Beastmasters had already started to take action.

It wasn't just the Linshan Mountain Demon; there were over twenty mature tenth-rank fierce beasts to deal with.

The pets of Qian Ce, Feng Zhengde, and Song Jun were drawing the Mountain Demon's fire, while others' pets dealt with the other fierce beasts.

Besides the Giant Spirit White Vulture, Qian Ce actually had another Lord-level pet!

Gu Xiaoyue sighed inwardly; it seemed the Qian family was not just an ordinary or middle-class family!

For ordinary Beastmasters, the qibao berry was a spiritual fruit that one could only dream of encountering.

There weren't many mature tenth-rank fierce beasts. Song Jun quickly made a judgment call and directed everyone to kill the fierce beasts.

Song Jun had rich combat experience, and in his hands, command became an art form.

He could extremely quickly find the weaknesses and flaws of the fierce beasts to use as breakthroughs.

He allowed his side's combat strength to be utilized to the maximum, and the efficiency of killing the fierce beasts also reached its peak!

His fighting style was completely different from Gu Xiaoyue's initial one.

After all, Gu Xiaoyue focused more on crushing with raw strength, while Song Jun's command tactics were about using the small to defeat the big, having a bit of the flavor of using a light weight to shift a heavy one.

Of course, this was in situations where the gap in strength was not extremely huge; otherwise, it would still be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

After more than an hour, the other fierce beasts were wiped out.

Gu Xiaoyue was completely watching from the sidelines, munching on snacks to replenish her energy, watching Qian Ce and the others battle the Mountain Demon.

"Gu Xiaoyue, go eat over there! Stay further away!"

Once all the mature tenth-rank fierce beasts were dead, Song Jun finally turned his attention to the Mountain Demon.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyue eating snacks right next to Feng Zhengde, he couldn't help but tell her to leave.

From the very beginning, he had disagreed with these students participating in the battle!

"What's wrong? (Chomp, chomp, chomp) The old man said he'd protect me! (Chomp, chomp, chomp)"

Gu Xiaoyue looked innocent. It wasn't that she trusted Feng Zhengde; she trusted her own ability to retreat unscathed.

"That still won't do!"

Song Jun noticed that the Linshan Mountain Demon appeared to be sparring with Qian Ce and Feng Zhengde.

In reality, its peripheral vision had been fixated on—Gu Xiaoyue!

The Linshan Mountain Demon casually grabbed an old tree and smashed it toward Feng Zhengde.

Feng Zhengde jumped to dodge, leaving Gu Xiaoyue alone and exposed within the Linshan Mountain Demon's attack range.

Feng Zhengde watched with some excitement to see how she would respond.

Gu Xiaoyue was just about to turn invisible when she realized the space around her had already been distorted.

She was now caught in the Mountain Demon's Spatial Displacement skill and could not turn invisible!

"Gu Xiaoyue, look out!"

"Xiao Yue!"

"Xiao Yue!"

Chu Li, Shui Lingyu, and Qian Ce all realized something was wrong. They watched helplessly as the area around Gu Xiaoyue turned into a black hole, sucking her into it!

Gu Xiaoyue's wide-eyed gaze and lips slightly parted in surprise—she was right in front of them one second, and vanished the next!

Chu Li and Shui Lingyu immediately wanted to rush over, hoping to chase after Gu Xiaoyue's tracks before the black hole closed.

In their anxiety, they were pulled back by Song Jun and Dong Qihui respectively.

"Calm down!"

Song Jun roared.

But before the words had even faded, the black hole closed instantly, cutting off the possibility of Chu Li and Shui Lingyu following Gu Xiaoyue into the black hole!
