Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

In the early morning, the turbulent waters of the Tiancang River became slightly calmer.

Yesterday's lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain also temporarily dissipated, leaving only a light rain still falling.

The black unicorn and the big black bear sat on a piece of grass by the river, both looking dejected and without any will to fight again.

At this time, the white turtle carrying Nanxing Kuang swam slowly over from the river in front and stopped at the shore.

Nanxing jumped onto the shore, respectfully saluted the two spirit beasts and said, "Two spirit beast elders, I'm sorry, we are late."

"Forget it, last night was just the beginning. I'm afraid that if the dragon causes trouble again, it will be a nightmare for the Jiangnan area." Mo Qilin stood up and said.

Nan Xing was stunned, "Senior, is this dragon really that powerful?"

"It's a ninth-level spirit beast, only one step away from becoming a fairy beast. Last night, the big black bear and I fought it, but we were no match for it at all, and we couldn't even cause much damage to it. Now, even if the white spirit turtle comes, the three of us spirit beasts combined still can't hurt it." Mo Qilin sighed.

Nan Xing Kuang was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The white turtle asked, "Where is that little ghost Gu Chan? I could still sense his spiritual energy last night, why can't I sense it at all now?"

"Gu Chan is dead. He was swallowed by the dragon last night." The big black bear said dejectedly.

"Ah? Is this true?" Nan Xing Kuang said in surprise.

He simply couldn't believe that with Gu Chan's clever mind, she would actually be swallowed by a dragon.

The white turtle laughed and said, "Great! This annoying little devil is finally gone. Now the Jiangnan area should be peaceful again."

"What did you say?" the big black bear said angrily.

"Isn't it? If he hadn't become the lord of Jiangnan, the prince wouldn't have targeted him. And do you dare to say that the matter of the dragon haunting has nothing to do with the prince? Now that Gu Chan is dead, the dragon may not continue to haunt. Wouldn't the Jiangnan area be peaceful now?" Bai Linggui analyzed calmly.

The big black bear stood up angrily, with spiritual energy surging in his body. He glared at the white turtle and said, "Last night when we were fighting to the death with the dragon, you didn't come. Now that Gu Chan has been swallowed, you come and make sarcastic remarks. You stinky turtle, I think you are asking for a fight."

"You stupid bear, how dare you come to Jiangnan to act so arrogantly? If you want to fight me, just do it. I'm not afraid of you." Bai Linggui said coldly.

Then the two spirit beasts prepared to attack.

Mo Qilin stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Come on, it's already this late, and you're still fighting among yourselves? If the dragon really wants to cause chaos, then none of us will be able to escape. We should unite now and prevent trouble before it happens."

"Yes, two spirit beast elders, we are all family, there is no need to fight among ourselves." Nan Xing Kuang also persuaded.

The big black bear and the white turtle then suppressed the surging spiritual energy in their bodies and became quiet.

Mo Qilin changed the subject and said, "White Spirit Turtle, we are not as good as you in water ability. Next, I would like to trouble you to search the river and find out where the dragon is hiding, so that we can continue to think of ways to deal with it."

"To be honest, if we really want to deal with it, we have to pull it to the shore. When a dragon goes into water, its strength is at its strongest, but once it comes out of water, its strength will inevitably weaken, making it easier to deal with." said the white turtle.

"You're right, so we have to find where it's hiding first, and then we can work together to pull it out of the water." Mo Qilin nodded.

The white turtle did not argue any more. It immediately turned around and dived into the river, beginning to search for the dragon's hiding place.

Nan Xing Kuang stayed on the shore, waiting quietly with the two spirit beasts.

On the other side, in an underwater cave deep in the Tiancang River.

At this time, the dragon was coiled here, concealing its own spiritual energy and sleeping with its eyes closed.

In its abdomen, a wisp of spiritual energy was swirling around in its body, as if it had eaten something that it could not digest and was stuck in its stomach, making it feel very uncomfortable.

The thing blocking the dragon's stomach was none other than Gu Chan, who was swallowed by it last night.

At this moment, Gu Chan was lying in the huge stomach of the dragon wearing Qilin armor. The spiritual energy in her body overflowed from her body and formed a white spiritual energy ball that protected her.

Soon Gu Chan opened her eyes and woke up from her coma.

Sitting up, with the help of the white light emitted by the spiritual energy, she looked at the messy pile of things in the dragon's stomach, and was completely dumbfounded.

Because in its stomach, there are not only rotten trees and broken ships, but also stones, broken armor, various rusty swords, spears, and other things.

Doesn't this mean that it really hasn't been able to eat any good food during this period of time? All the food it ate before has been digested, and the food that cannot be digested can only remain in its stomach and cannot be excreted at all.

"Hiss..."

Just as Gu Chan was dumbfounded, a faint hissing sound came from the dragon's stomach.

Then a white figure suddenly crawled out slowly from the stomach wall ten meters in front of Gu Chan.

Gu Chan raised her eyes and took a closer look, and was shocked on the spot.

This is clearly a woman! She is wearing a white robe, thin, and has long black hair scattered on her forehead, covering her entire face. At first glance, she looks like Sadako, crawling out of the stomach wall of a dragon.

"Oh my god! There's actually a female ghost hidden in the dragon's belly. What the hell is going on? It's so scary."

Gu Chan screamed in fright and quickly stood up and backed away.

After the woman crawled out of the stomach wall, she stood on a rusty suit of armor and said, "Don't be afraid, little girl. I'm not a ghost, but I'm not a human either. Anyway, you just need to know that I won't hurt you."

"How do you know I'm a woman?" Gu Chan asked.

"When you were swallowed and unconscious last night, I checked your body. I left only after confirming that you were fine." The woman explained.

Gu Chan frowned as she listened, thinking that this incident was a lesson for her.

From now on, no matter what the circumstances, she must stay awake and alert. Otherwise, if she falls into a coma and is given a full-body examination, her true identity will be revealed!

Seeing that Gu Chan didn't say anything, the woman asked again, "By the way, little girl, why do you want to disguise yourself as a man and hide your identity?"

"There's no other way. I was an exiled prisoner before, and I was almost raped on the way to exile. This incident left me with a psychological trauma, so I have been disguising myself as a man to protect myself." Gu Chan said bitterly.

"Oh! That's right. Women have no status in this world. What you're doing is a kind of protection for yourself." The woman sighed.

After saying that, she slowly walked towards Gu Chan.

Gu Chan was still a little scared. She backed away slowly with a pale face until her back rested against the stomach wall behind her, and then she stopped.
