98: You go and lure away the beast.

Gu Xiaoyue sneaked over, crouched down beside a senior student, and asked in a whisper.

"What are you all ambushing here?"

That senior student didn't even lift her head, "A Dark Devouring Dragon Beast."

Gu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, not understanding.

So what?

She asked the senior student again, "Why are you ambushing it?"

"Tsk—" Wang Han was somewhat impatient, "Didn't it say so in the group chat! Can't you look for yourself!"

Gu Xiaoyue knew she was referring to the graduate group chat, but none of them were in it.

"Senior—"

Gu Xiaoyue still wanted to ask, but Wang Han turned her head, "You are so annoy—"

Before she could finish saying "annoying," she realized it was Gu Xiaoyue standing in front of her.

Wang Han gave a dry laugh, "Oh, it's you. You aren't in the group chat."

Seeing that she didn't intend to continue, Gu Xiaoyue said, "I wonder if ambushing here will net you 200,000 star coins?"

Wang Han pursed her lips, "If it succeeds, I'm afraid we'll only get a few hundred thousand each. I'm starting to feel it's a drag."

"How about you let me see the messages in the group, and I'll give you 200,000?"

Gu Xiaoyue tempted her; for news that could make so many people lie in wait, 200,000 star coins was definitely worth it.

Wang Han thought about it for a moment; rather than waiting for an uncertain result, it would be much better to just take the 200,000 now.

She opened her brain and showed it to Gu Xiaoyue. Xiang Quan had posted in the group that there was a Dark Devouring Dragon Beast here.

The key point was that there was a Dark Devouring Dragon Beast pet egg, and it was of the Demon Tier!

But Xiang Quan specifically mentioned that the level of this Dark Devouring Dragon Beast was—Mature Sixth Order.

So, the more people who came, the better the chance of getting that pet egg.

This information probably wasn't fake. Perhaps Xiang Quan's team just happened to land here when they entered the secret realm.

The few of them weren't even considered a threat by the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast, or perhaps it was just guarding the egg and found it inconvenient to attack.

Gu Xiaoyue appeared very surprised on the surface, but inwardly she was calculating that Xiang Quan was quite cunning.

A Dark Devouring Dragon Beast capable of laying a Demon Tier pet egg must be at least Heaven Tier, or perhaps even Demon Tier itself.

It was also a Mature Sixth Order; even Shui Lingyu, who was first on the Battle Strength Ranking, couldn't handle it. Xiang Quan was just using everyone as cannon fodder!

Gu Xiaoyue withdrew from the area where the hundreds of seniors were lying in wait and pulled Chu Li and Shui Lingyu aside to discuss.

"There is a Mature Sixth Order Dark Devouring Dragon Beast 5 kilometers ahead."

"According to Senior Xiang Quan, it is guarding a Demon Tier egg."

She raised her eyebrows and asked Shui Lingyu, "Does Shui Lingyu want it?"

Who wouldn't want a Demon Tier pet egg?

Especially since it was a Dark Devouring Dragon Beast, a flying pet.

Shui Lingyu smiled, which counted as tacit agreement.

Gu Xiaoyue continued to ask him, "How long can you stay invisible?"

Last time Gu Xiaoyue was being hunted, Shui Lingyu had appeared in front of her and Chu Li while invisible.

The fact that Shui Lingyu could turn invisible was no secret to her and Chu Li.

So Gu Xiaoyue asked directly.

"Seven minutes."

Gu Xiaoyue could stay invisible for 10 minutes; it seemed the difference in Mental Power between her and Shui Lingyu wasn't too vast.

She nodded, "Then in a while, Xiao Qi and I will go lure away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast, and you, Senior, can go invisible and steal the egg."

"What about me?"

Chu Li blinked his eyes.

His Youming Tiger hadn't mastered its concealment skill yet.

Even with the heavenly crafting stone Gu Xiaoyue gave him, he still couldn't share skills.

To become invisible, he had to rely on entering the Youming Tiger's hidden space.

Actually, it would be safer if, after Shui Lingyu obtained the egg while invisible, Chu Li took him into the Youming Tiger's hidden space, and they remained invisible until they returned to the group.

However, Shui Lingyu didn't know that Chu Li had a Youming Tiger, and Gu Xiaoyue didn't want to expose it.

Gu Xiaoyue thought for a moment; it was best if someone went to lure away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast, and someone else could distract Xiang Quan and his group.

After all, this was a Demon Tier pet egg that Xiang Quan had almost all the graduates focused on.

If they snatched it openly, there would likely be a lot of trouble.

"Then let's modify the plan. Chu Li will go lure away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast. Senior, you go with Chu Li, get close to the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast while invisible, and steal the egg directly."

"I will go distract Xiang Quan and the others."

The Fire Phoenix's speed wasn't as good as the Azure Phoenix's, and compared to the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast, it could only be considered evenly matched.

Gu Xiaoyue wasn't too worried; once some distance was created, Chu Li could summon the Youming Tiger and enter the hidden space.

For the first time, she felt that if their summoning skill with Chu Li could be upgraded to Mastery or even Perfection, their safety could be better guaranteed.

The three of them finished discussing and went to find Ye Wanrou and the others, then went to look for Xiang Quan together.

Gu Xiaoyue summoned Xiao Mo, had it shrink down and turn invisible, and stay on her shoulder.

"Senior Xiang, I heard there is a Demon Tier pet egg here."

Gu Xiaoyue found Xiang Quan's team; their ambush position was the closest to the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast.

"What are you doing here?"

Sun Jian took the initiative to confront Gu Xiaoyue, and Xiang Quan also looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"It's a Demon Tier pet, who wouldn't want one? I've come to get a share of the spoils too."

Gu Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, showing an appearance of being very interested in the Demon Tier pet egg.

"In your dreams!"

Sun Jian roared, startling Ye Wanrou next to him.

She whispered, "Those who didn't know would think this Demon Tier egg was yours, you're so excited!"

Gu Xiaoyue chuckled, "This Demon Tier egg was found by Senior Xiang first; I just want to help Senior obtain it."

"In a while, Chu Li will go lure away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast, and then Senior can go and collect the egg."

"Whether it's sold or kept for personal use, just give our team a larger share of the star coins."

Xiang Quan frowned deeply; he was considering the truthfulness of Gu Xiaoyue's words.

Sun Jian jumped out again, "Not necessary, we can lure away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast ourselves!"

"Is that so? Then I guess I wasted my effort."

Gu Xiaoyue turned to leave but was stopped by Xiang Quan.

"Wait."

Luring away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast was the simplest and most brutal method.

But Xiang Quan wanted this egg, and he certainly wouldn't go himself. As for the others—most didn't have enough strength, nor did they dare to risk their lives.

Since Gu Xiaoyue was volunteering, it wasn't impossible.

"I don't know how much you want; we should make that clear before we act."

Gu Xiaoyue put on an indifferent look, "At the very least, it has to be 40%."

Sun Jian was about to make an angry outburst again, but was scared back by a look from Xiang Quan.

Just as Ye Wanrou said, he really thought that Demon Tier egg was already his.

Sun Jian thought that if their team got this egg, he could naturally acquire it at a low price.

Now that Gu Xiaoyue was getting involved, he definitely wouldn't be able to afford it!

Xiang Quan pondered that they had been in the secret realm for a day and had done nothing but lie in wait here.

A Mature Sixth Order beast; even with the strength of the entire grade combined, it might just be scratching an itch for it.

It couldn't hurt it in the slightest!

He didn't want to drag this out any longer; 40% was acceptable. It was better than waiting until the end and having nothing at all!

Xiang Quan asked Gu Xiaoyue, "Who did you say was going to lure away the Dark Devouring Dragon Beast just now?"

"Chu Li, of course. For this kind of physical labor, it must be done by a guy!"

Xiang Quan shook his head, "Chu Li won't do. If anyone goes, it has to be you and Shui Lingyu!"
