He was a model in the world of self-cultivation in his last life.

Gu Changling heard the whistling wind.

——In the forest, something came towards them, and there were thousands of them.

His leg muscles were tense, ready to retreat at any moment.The red-haired beast was entrenched in the tree and stared at the two two-legged beasts. Its hair was blown and its teeth were bared. It looked very unfriendly, but it did not attack.

The two sides were deadlocked like this.

Soon, the appearance of a big red-haired beast broke the deadlock.

This red-haired beast is as tall as a man, and it can be seen from its size that it is the king of the herd.

It gave them a condescending look, eyes full of contempt, flicked its tail at them, and squeaked sharply.

Even though Gu Changling and Jiuli couldn't understand the animal language, they understood the meaning of warning and expulsion.

"...Let's go first."

Jiuli glanced at the big red-haired beast apprehensively, thinking he was lucky.

Fortunately, the red-haired beast was willing to reason, unlike yesterday's strange snake that drove them to death as soon as it came up.

There was only one snake yesterday, but now there are a lot of them!

Gu Changling didn't hesitate, and with one step, he led Jiuli out of the forest.

Afterwards, the big red-haired beast called out again, and the two felt their focused eyes disappear, and the sound of "cracking, clicking" eating was heard again in the forest.

The two looked at each other.

Jiuli said depressedly: "What should I do now? That red hair is not easy to provoke..."

He looked at Gu Changling expectantly, and urged, "Gu Daxia, don't be cowardly! If you can't beat him, you can run away."

Gu Changling said unhappily: "Heroic ass, I can't afford it."

Jiuli lamented, "Could it be that I am going to die of starvation in this ghostly place, because I am a dignified burial sword doctor?"

As he said that, he said unwillingly, "Gu Changling, tell me, if I get out the grass root poison, can I kill this forest thing?"

Gu Changling rolled his eyes, "You can try it."

Jiuli lay down on Gu Changling's back discouragedly, sniffed and said sadly: "I'm so hungry..."

Gu Changling's eyes darkened.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I think that red-haired beast is quite human, otherwise we can discuss with it and exchange things with it for some food."

Jiuli regained his energy all of a sudden, "You mean?"

He fiddled with the sapphire bottle on his wrist, looked at Gu Changling, and Gu Changling nodded.

Jiuli hesitated, "Can it work?"

Gu Changling said, "Let's give it a try."

Jiu Li thought for a moment and agreed.

Gu Changling then took down a sapphire bottle the size of a thumb, uncorked the bottle, and threw it to the canopy of the red leaf tree where the red-haired beast king was—he could feel that the other party hadn't left.

After a breath, the big red-haired beast suddenly poked its head out from the red leaf tree closest to the two, and fixed its eyes on them.

Gu Changling took down a sapphire bottle with his thumb again, and said, "The two of us strayed into your place without any malice. I just want to exchange some food with you. I wonder if it is possible?"

The red-haired beast rolled its eyes, as if thinking about it.

Seeing it showing such a humane attitude, Jiuli was overjoyed, some discussion is fine!

But soon, Jiuli's face turned dark.

For no other reason, the red-haired beast king raised his paw and pointed to the largest blue jade gourd around Gu Changling's waist.

The meaning is obvious, it wants this.

Gu Changling put his hand on the blue jade gourd, and the red-haired beast king squeaked, full of urging.

Gu Changling threw the big sapphire gourd to the red-haired beast, and the red-haired beast swung its tail quickly as if it had found a treasure.

Feeling its satisfaction, Gu Changling tentatively took a step forward with Jiuli on his back, and asked again: "Can you?"

As soon as the red-haired beast king moved, the blue jade gourd disappeared, and it was unknown where it hid.

Immediately, it raised its paw again, pointing again to the only sapphire gourd left on Gu Changling's waist.

Gu Changling: "..."

Jiuli: "..."

Jiuli looked away in pain, Gu Changling hesitated, and reluctantly untied the blue jade gourd and threw it to the red-haired beast king.

——No matter how easy it is to get the grass juice, you have to put on a posture.

"Squeak!"

Anyone can hear how excited the red-haired beast king is. He is hugging the sapphire gourd, with a pair of ruby-like animal pupils salivating at the sapphire vial on Gu Changling's waist.

Gu Changling looked at the red-haired beast with dissatisfaction, and said coldly, "If you don't change it, return it."

The red-haired beast king looked at the small and pitiful sapphire bottle, then at the much larger sapphire gourd in his arms, twisted his body, yelled twice into the red leaf forest, and then rushed into the canopy of the tree and disappeared .

"...It wants to renege on its debt?!"

Jiuli dare not believe it.

Gu Changling let out a breath, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I think it means that we are allowed to forage in the woods."

Jiuli: "..."

That's pretty darn good.

The two entered the Scarlet Forest again.

This time, small red-haired beasts popped up from time to time in the canopy to see them.That gaze was full of curiosity, but not hostility. It seemed that the red-haired beast king had indeed explained it.

After walking for a while, animals and snakes came into view.

Gu Changling was not in a hurry to hunt, but listened intently, changed several directions, and then walked firmly in a certain direction.

Jiuli's hearing was not as good as his, but his sense of smell was superior to ordinary people's. After walking for a while, he keenly felt that the air became much more humid.

Jiuli was overjoyed that he had found the water source!

After walking for a long time, when Jiuli heard the sound of water, the red-haired beast king suddenly appeared and stopped the two of them.

Gu Changling frowned, and said, "What does this mean?"

The red-haired beast king stepped on the tree trunk anxiously, not knowing what concerns he had.

Jiuli thought for a while and said, "We won't harm your group, we just need some water."

The red-haired beast bared its teeth, and found the blue jade gourd out of nowhere.After touching and touching, it finally made up its mind. With a wave of its paw, it motioned for them to follow, and it walked ahead first.

Gu Changling looked back at Jiuli, who nodded at him, and the two followed the red-haired beast king towards the water source.

There is a huge lake in front of you, right in the center of the Scarlet Forest.

There is an island in the middle of the lake, and there are many small red-haired beasts frolicking on the island, heartless and heartless, even ignoring the strange smell.

Instead, the "island" in the lake suddenly shook twice, and the whole thing rose from the water.

Immediately, a giant beast's head slowly lifted up from the lake, and its huge beast's eyes stared at Gu Changling and Jiuli.

—The island was a turtle!

Stared at by those cold vertical pupils, Jiuli and Gu Changling felt chills down their backs, and raised their vigilance by 12.

Unexpectedly, the giant tortoise glanced lazily at them, then looked away and landed on the red-haired beast king.

The red-haired beast king and the giant tortoise stared at each other silently. The former squeaked unhappily, took out two diamond-shaped red leaves that were bigger than its size, and threw them into the lake.

The giant tortoise grabbed the red leaf with its head in its mouth, and sank back into the lake silently.

...Dare to feel that this lake has another owner, and the red-haired beast has to treat people to drink water. No wonder they were so reluctant before.

Those two large and unusual red leaves are obviously not ordinary leaves in the forest, and they are quite precious.The red-haired beast king was full of pain in his eyes, and he was no match for the giant tortoise. He only vented his unhappiness on the two two-legged beasts, baring his teeth and screaming at them.

Looking at this posture, Jiu Li thought that the red-haired beast would not be so happy when he came to fetch water from the lake next time.

He leaned close to Gu Changling's ear and whispered, "We don't have anything to hold water, and this business has lost a lot of money."

As soon as Gu Changling's ears warmed up, the expression on his face tightened, and he nodded solemnly: "I have a way, and I can't lose."

He's not busy drinking water either - who knows if the tortoise will charge once for each water use?He took Jiuli back to the forest first, hunted a lot of prey in one breath, and then returned to the lake.

Five small rodent-like beasts were kept as prey for Jiuli to test the medicine, and the rest were killed, skinned and cleaned.

Gu Changling wrapped the meat with red leaves—when he was picking the red leaves, he was blackmailed by the red-haired beast king for a sapphire bottle of grass juice with his thumb—then he took off the straw rope around his waist, tied it into a simple net bag, and put it aside.

Then, Gu Changling began to process the animal skins and feathers.

The two did not hunt blindly, they paid attention when they went deep into the forest, and chose their target early.

The two fat and fleshy beasts made up enough food for the two of them for five days.

Gu Changling also hunted three birds with feathers sharper than metal, and an unknown beast covered in thorns.The thorns and feathers are all taken care of by Jiuli, and they are ready to be used to make hidden weapons for self-defense.

The remaining ten prey were all snakes.

Although there is not much meat, the snake skin has solved their urgent need.

Gu Changling honed his martial arts skills. Before he became famous, he wandered in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, and had rich experience in wild life.

However, the beast fur here is also unusual, and it is difficult to cut it with iron.Fortunately, with the little black sword in hand, Gu Changling cut snakeskin water bags and threaded them with strings, without hesitation.

In a short time, more than [-] simple water bags were cut from the skin of a three-foot-long and one-foot-wide snake.

The red-haired Beastmaster watched the two two-legged beasts busy with great interest, but did not approach them hastily. Compared with the initial contempt, he looked at them with a little more vigilance.

Without him, the force value of wild animals in the forest was beyond the charts, and Gu Changling used the little black sword for a quick victory.

When the red-haired beast king watched from a distance, he felt an extremely dangerous aura.

After everything was handled properly, Gu Changling took Jiuli to drink, filled the water bag, and then used a thumb sapphire bottle to exchange a bunch of dead branches and leaves from the red-haired beast king.

He took the booty and set foot on the return journey.

The two retreated to the vines and came to another boulder closer to the bloody forest, where they lit a fire and grilled meat.

It was already Shen time (three o'clock in the afternoon) when I was full.

Looking at the sun, Jiuli didn't delay any longer, Fu went to the stone under the back of Gu Changling, and started researching poison.

Jiuli has personally experienced the efficacy of grass root poison, and the antidote is also clear at a glance, which is grass juice.

The material is single, and it is not difficult to concoct. The only challenging thing is to dig out the grass roots.

After several experiments, Jiuli came to a conclusion.

The soil where the vines take root and the sapphire stones have an insulating effect on the grass roots. As long as they don't come into direct contact, they won't be hurt by the grass roots.

In this way, Jiuli asked Gu Changling to use sapphire to make tools such as shovels and pots, and started to work.

Gu Changling cut off the vine leaves neatly, and used a sapphire shovel to dig out a large section of grass roots and soil, put them in a sapphire basin, and put them at Jiuli's hand.

Jiuli was startled when he saw it.

The grass roots are moving!

Like the earthworm that burrowed into the ground, or the swaying octopus whiskers, it was trying to find a place to take root, and it only settled down when it touched the wall of the sapphire basin.

Jiuli took a deep breath, but after thinking about it, he had already experienced several times in this ghost place that "the world is so big and full of wonders", even if the plants "live", it seems that there is no need to make too much fuss.

Excitedly using blue jade chopsticks to pick out the grass roots from the pot, Jiuli washed the grass roots in the water like shabu-shabu.

Grass roots are not afraid of water and are still active in the water.

When the soil is completely washed and the water comes out, the movement of the grass roots is much smaller, and it is not as lively as before.

Jiuli put the washed grass roots on a sapphire board to drain, and cleaned two more plants. The grass roots that were gently curled up on the stone board had completely disappeared.

Jiuli thought about it, picked it up, and put it back into the soil, but it didn't come back to life.

Seeing this, he washed another plant, watched it gradually lose its vitality, and knew it in his heart.

——After the grass roots leave the soil, the time for losing their "liveness" is exactly the same as the time for the leaves of the vine to wither.

"...You're so squeamish."

Jiuli grunted.

I just don't know if the "dead" grass roots are still poisonous.

Will it be like withered grass leaves, leaving no benefit to others...

Thinking of this, Jiuli's heart tightened, he grabbed the gray fur rat beast tied to the side, picked up the grass root and stuffed it.
