Chapter 23 Finally ate the first bite of meat The two of them were in a stalemate for a while before Gu Chan suddenly had an idea and said, "How about this! Since you want to worship me as your master, then I will accept you as my apprentice. But you have to listen carefully, I don't know anything and can't teach you anything." "You just need to teach me how to subdue the spirit beast." Zhao Erniu stood up from the ground and answered seriously. “……”Gu Chan! How the hell does she know how to subdue a spirit beast? Just now, it was thanks to the two loaches that spoke well of her, otherwise the big black bear would have torn her alive. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have been so pretentious. Gu Chan regretted it! She only caused trouble for herself. Zhao Erniu thought Gu Chan was unwilling to teach her, so he quickly tried to please her, "You teach me how to subdue spirit beasts, and I teach you how to hunt. This way, we can be equal and we can be considered both teacher and friend." "How about this, you don't have to expel me from the sect, I'll still be your apprentice, from now on I'll call you Master in front of outsiders, and when it's just the two of us, you can call me Master, isn't that enough?" "Hiss! That's fine, but this is the first time I've heard of someone becoming each other's disciples in my decades of life!" Zhao Erniu reached out and touched his chin, and he found it magical. Otherwise, why do people say that Gu Chan has a unique way of thinking! These two people worshipped each other as their master, and called each other master in front of others and behind their backs. This is truly a strange thing in the world.
However, Gu Chan didn't care about this. What she really wanted was to learn skills. As for who would become her master, she didn't care. Picking up the bow and quiver and handing them to Zhao Erniu, Gu Chan said, "Okay, that's settled. You should go hunting now. I'll go find Ma Zheng in a bit." "You don't have to pick that basket of white silk grass. The two and a half bowls of rice in the morning are my way of repaying you for saving my life." Zhao Erniu patted his chest with his hand, very generous. Gu Chan waved her hand, "No, we should keep things to ourselves. I saved you, and it has nothing to do with your wife. After all, we promised her this." "This……" "Okay, go hunting! I'll dry my clothes first." Gu Chan interrupted in time. Zhao Erniu said no more, said goodbye to Gu Chan immediately, and went into the forest to hunt again. Gu Chan walked into the lake cautiously. Two loaches came out of her pocket and swam on both sides of her to protect her. Loach Baidu said, [Brother Xiong wouldn't lie to us! There's no scent of any spiritual herbs in this water! ] [I feel like it's just bragging to cover up the fact that it's 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 animal after all, so it must be very proud. How can it admit directly that it is afraid of water? So it found an excuse, saying that there are spiritual herbs in the lake, and it dare not come down easily. Thinking of this, Gu Chan suddenly felt exhausted and prepared to return to the shore. "Whoosh!" At this moment, 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, opened its bloody mouth and rushed straight towards Gu Chan. Gu Chan was stunned, and before she could react, the water snake used its tail to roll up her entire body and quickly pulled her into the water. Then the lake quickly calmed down, and two loaches swam in the water, looking at each other, all confused. What to do? [Hurry up and go down to save him! ]
The two loaches came to their senses and rushed into the water to rescue 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 damage to her body. The water snake cursed angrily, "You are just a two-legged beast, but your body is still quite hard. I wonder how long you can stay hard." "I can stay hard all the time, but I'm afraid you'll be soft." Gu Chan said deliberately angrily. The water snake was not surprised at all that she could understand the language of animals. Instead, she asked with great interest, "Let me ask you, how do you understand the language of animals?" "I just have this ability, what's wrong?" [You're being stubborn, huh? Then I'll see how long you can hold it in.] The water snake clung to Gu Chan, dragging her to the bottom of the lake, not letting her breathe fresh air. Gu Chan's face turned red and her heart was beating very violently. Just when she was about to suffocate, Baidu and Sogou rushed over quickly, quickly put two loach heads into her nostrils, and began to absorb oxygen from the water with the spiritual energy in their bodies to provide her with breathing. "Huh..." Gu Chan exhaled deeply, and the feeling of suffocation instantly eased. She was even shocked herself, "Holy crap! You two still have this ability?" [Stop talking nonsense, find a way to escape quickly, we are no match for it, its strength is no weaker than Brother Bear. ] Loach Baidu reminded anxiously. Gu Chan struggled desperately, trying to escape. But no matter how she struggled, the water snake's huge tail wrapped around her tightly like an iron clamp, making it impossible for her to escape. As they were getting closer and closer to the bottom of the lake, Gu Chan's face darkened and her heart became ruthless. She opened her mouth and bit the snake's tail that was wrapped around her, then bit off a piece of the snake's tail and swallowed it into her stomach. [You son of a bitch, you dare to bite me? I want you to die without a burial place.] The water snake roared in pain, turned its head, opened its mouth wide towards Gu Chan, and was ready to swallow her into its stomach in one gulp. At the critical moment, Gu Chan mobilized the spiritual energy in her body to digest the snake meat in her mouth. As the snake meat was digested, her physical skills suddenly changed. Her whole body went from being as hard as iron to being as soft as a snake. Before the water snake's huge mouth could bite her, she had already escaped from the snake's tail, and then rushed up quickly, swimming like a nimble snake. [My God, how can this two-legged beast have such strong physical skills?] The water snake did not chase after it at the first time. Instead, it stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Gu Chan's figure swimming upstream, extremely surprised. It was also the first time it saw a bipedal creature that could perform such magical physical skills. On the other side, deep in the forest. At this time, the horse came to a wild meadow. The grass here was half as high as a person and surrounded by a circle of big trees. One could tell at a glance that this was not a safe place. Ma Zheng was young and couldn't tell the difference at all. He walked in and looked around. He found that there were many of the blood-red, ox-tail-like warm-belly grasses growing in the wild grass. He was very happy and said, "Boss, I found the herbs you wanted. I'll pick some and carry them back right away. Wait for me." After saying that, Ma Zheng immediately started picking the belly-warming grass. Just as he was picking the fruits happily, the ground suddenly began to move. Fiery red ants, each as big as an adult's fist, quickly emerged from the soil and formed a circle to surround him. "what……" Soon Ma Zheng let out a painful scream as a group of large red ants surrounded him and covered his entire body.
Soon after, countless big red ants retreated. Ma Zheng, who was lying on the ground, was bitten and bleeding and had died. (End of this chapter)
