230: Little Green Upgrade

Seeing that Ding Fang was still being stubborn, Gu Xiaoyue cast her gaze upon Zhou Qi.

"How about you tell me?"

The cold tip of the sword pressed against Zhou Qi's face; with just a slight exertion of force from Gu Xiaoyue, her skin would split open.

Zhou Qi's brows were tightly locked, ignoring the pain in her hands and feet entirely.

"Y-you, what are you doing..."

Gu Xiaoyue seemed to have lost her patience; with one sword strike, she carved a deep wound into Zhou Qi's face.

"Ah! — —"

Zhou Qi wailed, the flesh at the wound on her face turned outward, and blood flowed endlessly.

Just as Gu Xiaoyue intended to strike a second time, she heard a "clang," and her sword was deflected an inch by a hidden weapon, missing Zhou Qi.

At this moment, Zhou Qi was already streaming with tears, "Big Brother, you're finally awake! My face, my face — —"

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but frown; he woke up quite quickly.

It was likely because her attempt to ruin Zhou Qi's face triggered Jiang Mengfei's protective mechanism; after all, his own face had been completely destroyed.

"Elder Deng, these two have already lost their combat ability. Help me block their Big Brother for a while; I have some work to do!"

After saying this, Gu Xiaoyue ran to the front of Ding Fang and Zhou Qi's pet beasts and began to cast the Yuan Absorption skill.

They had been stubborn just a moment ago and refused to say anything.

Now that Jiang Mengfei had regained consciousness, they would be even less likely to say anything!

Otherwise, let alone Gu Xiaoyue killing them, they would die at the hands of Jiang Mengfei!

The relationships within the Damon Country royal family were complex and intertwined, so she still wanted to keep them alive.

Only by extracting effective information could she help Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi eliminate his rivals and ascend the throne!

Xiao Mo had already leveled up to the middle stage of the seventh rank of maturity; he turned back and smiled at Gu Xiaoyue, revealing a canine tooth.

Gu Xiaoyue also began to absorb their levels; before long, the pet beasts that were originally at the sixth or seventh rank of maturity had all dropped by a major rank.

She fed the experience she absorbed to Xiao Lu, but it still wasn't enough for her to level up by a minor rank.

Although Deng Xian had gone to stall Jiang Mengfei, he was already exhausted just from resisting the skills shared by Jiang Mengfei.

"Xiao Jiu, go help Elder Deng and force out Jiang Mengfei's pet beasts!"

Gu Xiaoyue fed another wave of absorbed experience to Xiao Lu.

She could feel that the life force of Ding Fang and Zhou Qi's pet beasts was no longer enough to support another wave of absorption for herself and Xiao Mo.

"Ding — — Congratulations to the host for achieving a new accomplishment — — 8 pet beasts at the sixth rank of maturity (Completed), reward: 8400 points, 7 hun yuan pearls!"

She had quite a lot of points now, just enough to exchange for heavenly crafting stones.

The pet beasts were mastering more and more skills, and she urgently needed heavenly crafting stones to share skills.

It would be even better if there were spiritual plants or immortal herbs to replenish Mental Power; she had eaten quite a few hua yu fruits during the previous beast tide, and she still felt it was a bit of a waste.

Xiao Mo stopped the Yuan Absorption skill, tugged on the corner of Gu Xiaoyue's clothes, and pursed his lips, signaling her to look at the pet beasts being absorbed.

She, who had been focused on Jiang Mengfei, finally cast her gaze upon the pet beasts of Ding Fang and Zhou Qi.

She saw that they had already been drained of two major ranks; each one was barely breathing, without even the strength to wail.

Gu Xiaoyue snorted coldly and let Hou finish them off first, then burn them with fire!

"Alright! This master loves doing this kind of work!"

If it weren't for their thick skin and flesh that Gu Xiaoyue couldn't cut through, she would have slit their throats with her own hands!

"Stop! You vicious bitch! It's not enough to absorb their experience; you actually want to burn them to ashes!"

Zhou Qi felt heartache for her pet beasts and cursed Gu Xiaoyue loudly.

If looks could kill, Gu Xiaoyue would probably have been torn into ten thousand pieces by her!

"Well, I have to thank you for that—for feeding them humans!"

If it weren't for that, even if I killed you, I would have kept their pet beast eggs to make the best use of them!

However, now, the only path for them is to be reduced to ashes!"

Pet beasts that have eaten humans, even if they turn back into pet beast eggs, have a high probability of backlashing against their owners in the future.

Keeping them, whether giving them away or selling them, would only be a disaster!

Seeing Hou slaughter her pet beasts one by one, Zhou Qi let out a shrill scream and then fainted.

"You woman, you are truly vicious!"

Ding Fang's eyes were also like they had been soaked in poison as he stared fixedly at Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue sneered and rolled her eyes at him.

She certainly couldn't compare to how vicious he and Zhou Qi were, but most people have double standards; they only call others vicious when their own interests are harmed.

Perhaps if they were called vicious, they would even be happy that they had the ability!

Jiang Mengfei had already been forced by Xiao Jiu and Elder Deng to summon his pet beasts and was fighting with them on the side.

As soon as these three pet beasts appeared, the panel in Gu Xiaoyue's mind displayed their data.

Jiang Mengfei was worthy of being the Big Brother of Ding Fang and Zhou Qi; his strength was indeed something that the two of them combined could not surpass.

Furthermore, his space-attribute pet beast had not yet appeared; presumably, its tier and level were also not low.

The Yasha Shadow Leopard was a huge leopard, pitch black all over, with sleek, glossy fur.

It had three pairs of horns on its head, and an extra eye in the center of its forehead.

"Has your pet beast eaten people too?"

At this moment, it was Gu Xiaoyue who wanted to kill and seize the pet.

Ding Fang and Zhou Qi would feed people to their pet beasts; as their Big Brother, Jiang Mengfei must be cut from the same cloth!

"Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Mengfei saw greed in Gu Xiaoyue's eyes, and he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Usually, it was he who looked at others this way; being stared at like prey for the first time made him feel truly uncomfortable!

Gu Xiaoyue licked her lips and curled her lips into a smile.

"Of course, I've taken a liking to your Yasha Shadow Leopard!"

"But if it has eaten people, then I can only painfully slaughter it!"

As soon as her words came out, both Deng Xian and Jiang Mengfei were shocked.

Taking advantage of a gap in the battle, Deng Xian used his brain to scan Jiang Mengfei's three pet beasts.

The attributes and status of the Mountain-Severing Green Turtle and the Swift Fire White Falcon could be scanned, but the data for that black leopard was not recorded.

Looking at Jiang Mengfei's expression, Gu's calling out its name was correct!

Otherwise, why would he be so astonished!

Jiang Mengfei was indeed surprised for a moment that Gu Xiaoyue could call out the name of the Yasha Shadow Leopard.

But he immediately adjusted his demeanor; this girl must have just happened to see a picture of it and barely managed to call out its name!

Her wanting to seize the pet must be a pipe dream!

Even if this girl could actually summon eight pet beasts, it was hard to guarantee she wasn't a paper tiger, having quantity but no quality.

But Gu Xiaoyue's next words shattered Jiang Mengfei's wishful thinking!
