Chapter 23 Finally took the first bite of meat
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Gu Chancai had an idea and said, "Let's do it! Since you want to become my master, I will accept you as my disciple, but you have to listen clearly. I don’t know anything and can’t teach you anything.”
"You just need to teach me how to subdue the spiritual beast." Zhao Erniu stood up from the ground and replied seriously.
"..." Gu Chan!
She knows how to subdue spirit beasts!
Thanks to the two loaches who put in a good word for her just now, otherwise the big black bear would have torn her alive.
If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have acted so coquettishly just now.
Gu Chan regrets it! Just cause trouble for yourself.
Zhao Erniu thought that Gu Chan didn't want to teach her, so he quickly tried to please her, "You teach me how to subdue spirit beasts, and I'll teach you how to hunt. This way it's even, and we can be considered both teachers and friends."
"Otherwise, you don't have to expel me from your apprenticeship. I will still be your apprentice. From now on, I will call you master in front of outsiders. When we are alone, you will call me master. Isn't that enough?"
"Hiss! That's okay, but this is the first time I've heard of mutual apprenticeships in my decades of life!" Zhao Erniu reached out and touched his chin, feeling amazing himself.
How else can I say that Gu Chan’s brain circuit is amazing!
These two people apprenticed themselves to each other, calling each other master. This is really a strange thing in the world.
But Gu Chan didn't care about this. What she really wanted was to learn her skills. As for who became her teacher, she didn't care at all.
After picking up the bow and arrow basket and handing them to Zhao Erniu, Gu Chan said, "Okay, that's settled. You can go hunting when you should. I'll go find Ma Zheng in a moment."
"You don't have to pick that basket of white silk grass. The two and a half bowls of rice in the morning can be considered as my repayment for your life-saving grace." Zhao Erniu stretched out his hand and patted his chest, very generously.
Gu Chan waved her hand, "No, as a human being, we should stick to the same code. It's none of your wife's business if I save you. After all, this is what we promised her."
"this……"
"Okay, you go hunting quickly! I'll dry my clothes and pants first." Gu Chan interrupted in time.
Zhao Erniu said no more, said goodbye to Gu Chan immediately, and went hunting in the forest again.
Gu Chan walked into the lake cautiously. Two loaches came out of her pocket and swam on her left and right sides to protect her.
Loach Baidu said, [Brother Xiong won’t lie to us! There is no scent of spiritual grass in this water! 】
[I feel like it is bragging to hide the fact that it is afraid of water. 】Loach Sogou replied.
Gu Chan thought about it carefully and felt that what the two loaches said made sense!
The big black bear is a spiritual beast after all, so it must be a good face. How can it be so embarrassing to directly admit that it is afraid of water? So it found an excuse, saying that there was spiritual grass in the lake and it didn't dare to come down easily.
Thinking like this, Gu Chan suddenly lost her energy and prepared to return to the shore.
"Whoosh!"
At this time, a whooshing sound suddenly sounded in the center of the lake.
Then a wave suddenly surged up, and a green water snake that was more than ten meters long suddenly jumped out from the center of the lake, then opened its mouth and rushed straight towards Gu Chan.
Gu Chan was stunned. Before she could react, the water snake rolled up her entire body with its tail and quickly pulled her into the water.
Then the lake quickly calmed down, and two loaches swam in the water. You looked at me, and I looked at you, both confused.
【What to do? 】
[Hurry up and save him! 】
The two loaches came to their senses and hurriedly got into the water to save Gu Chan.
In the water!
Gu Chan activated her physical skills, making her body as hard as iron. No matter how tightly the water snake's tail wrapped around her, it could not cause any harm to her body. The water snake cursed angrily, "It's just a two-legged beast with a pretty hard body. Let's see how long you can stay hard." 】
"I can always be hard, but I'm afraid you'll be soft." Gu Chan said angrily.
The water snake was not surprised at all that she could understand animal language, but instead asked with interest, "Let me ask you, how can you understand animal language?" 】
"I have this ability, what's wrong?"
[You are tough, right? Then I'll see how long you can hold it in. ] The water snake clung to Gu Chan and dragged her deep into the lake, preventing her from breathing fresh air.
Gu Chan's face was red from suppressing pain, and her heart was beating very fast.
Just when she was about to suffocate, Baidu and Sogou rushed over, quickly drilled two loach heads into her nostrils, and began to use the spiritual energy in her body to obtain oxygen from the water to provide her with breathing.
"Huh..." Gu Chan exhaled a deep breath, and the feeling of suffocation instantly weakened.
She herself was shocked, "Holy crap! Do you two still have this ability?"
[Stop talking nonsense and find a way to escape quickly. We are no match for it. Its strength is no weaker than Brother Xiong. 】Loach Baidu urgently reminds.
Gu Chan struggled desperately, trying to escape.
But no matter how she struggled, the water snake's giant tail wrapped around her tightly like an iron pincer, making it impossible for her to escape.
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the lake, at a certain moment, Gu Chan's face sank and her heart became cruel. She opened her mouth and bit the snake's tail that was wrapped around her. Then she bit off a piece of the snake's tail meat and swallowed it.
[You bastard, how dare you bite me? I want you to die without a burial place. ] The water snake roared in pain, turned its head, pointed it at Gu Chan and opened its mouth, ready to swallow her in one gulp.
At the critical moment, Gu Chan mobilized the spiritual energy in her body to digest the snake meat that entered her mouth.
As the snake meat was digested, her physical skills suddenly changed, and her entire body suddenly changed from being as hard as iron to being as soft as a snake.
Before the water snake's giant mouth could bite her, she had already escaped from the snake's tail, and then rushed up quickly like a spiritual snake, swimming in a meandering way.
[Oh my god, how can this two-legged beast have such strong physical skills? 】The water snake did not catch up at the first time, but stayed in place, staring blankly at Gu Chan's figure moving upstream, and was extremely surprised.
This is also the first time it has seen a two-legged beast capable of such magical physical skills.
On the other side, deep in the forest.
At this time, Ma Zheng came to a wild grassland. The grass here was as high as half a person and surrounded by big trees. It was obvious at a glance that this was not a safe place.
Ma Zheng was so young that he couldn't tell the difference at all. When he walked in and looked around, he found a lot of weeds growing in the weeds. Gu Chan said they were blood red and grew like ox tails. He was so happy, "Boss, I found the herbs you asked for. I will pick them up and carry them back immediately. You wait for me."
After saying that, Ma Zheng immediately started picking belly-warming grass.
Just when he was happily picking, the ground suddenly began to squirm. Fire-red ants the size of an adult's fist quickly emerged from the soil, forming a circle and surrounding him.
"ah……"
Soon Ma Zheng let out a scream of pain and was covered by a group of big red ants that surrounded him.
Soon after, countless big red ants retreated.
Ma Zheng, who was lying on the ground, was bitten with blood and was dying.
