"Each of them was very cunning and would not be easily tricked. Besides, you can only use dragon’s meat as a lure, but you may still fail to catch one even if you throw in a wholesome piece."
Was it so difficult?!
How could they only be golden tortoises? They should be diamond tortoise instead!
Gu Xijiu asked the young childe, "Hey brother, do you still have any dragon meat left? I want to try."
"No, that was the last piece." The young childe shook his head and took a glance at her with a faint smile, "What did you just call me? Brother? I think you should have asked for my name."
"Alright, what’s your name?" Gu Xijiu accepted his advice.
"Si Chen."
"Great, Mr. Si…"
"Mr. Die? Are you cursing me?!" Si Chen was unhappy.
Sigh, his surname was not proper to call.
"Then, what if I call you Mr. Chen?"
"My surname is not Chen." Si Chen was still unhappy.
Gu Xijiu was troubled, "Mr. Si Chen then." This should be alright already, right?
"You haven’t told me your name yet." Si Chen reminded.
At this moment, Gu Xijiu no longer had to hide her identity anymore, "Gu Xijiu."
"The sixth sister of the Gu Xietian mansion? You look different from what I heard." Si Chen sized her from head to toe again.
Gu Xijiu smiled and did nothing else.
"Mr. Si Chen, have you been here for two days already?" Gu Xijiu asked.
"Yes, why?"
"Nothing." Gu Xijiu sat on a pebble and massaged her aching legs.
She had been running for a long time and was very tired already. Though the stream water was dangerous, the riverbank was relatively safe.
She had been talking with Mr. Si Chen for three minutes and had not seen any ferocious beasts yet. Therefore, the place should be relatively safe for her to rest for a while.
Gu Xijiu also started to study her surroundings. They were slightly strange as both the south and north bank of the stream were buffered with nearly a hundred meters of pebbles. Furthermore, the trees at each bank were very different.
The north bank had blue trees while the south bank had bluish-green trees about a hundred meters away. Had she already escaped the third peak? Or was it because of this stream that the trees are so unusual?
Bone Dissolving Stream, what a cruel name!
Though Gu Xijiu planned her strategy to escape, what she knew about Dark Forest was based entirely on what she heard from Rong Jialuo, who just managed to get to the third peak. She had not heard about the Bone Dissolving Stream.
"Mr. Si Chen, is this Bone Dissolving Stream the boundary between the third peak and the second peak?" Gu Xijiu asked hopefully.
"The boundary between the third peak and the second peak?" Mr. Si Chen frowned.
"Yea, the tree colors of both banks are very different after all. And I think this is the boundary."
Mr. Si Chen stared at her for a moment and faltered, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Gu Xijiu suddenly felt curious, "What’s the truth?"
Mr. Si Chen stared at her with sympathy and sighed, "I’m afraid you would cry if you heard the truth…"
Gu Xijiu was annoyed, "I won’t cry! As a man, say it out quick, please! What’s the truth?"
Mr. Si Chen sighed again, "Here’s…"
Before he could finish speaking, two high-pitched hissing sounds were suddenly heard. Meanwhile, the surrounding temperature reduced abruptly, and a familiar murderous aura was spreading.
Gu Xijiu immediately jumped up!
It was the Six-eyes Spotted Killer Centipede! She did not expect that these two creatures would find her! With just a blink of an eye, two of them appeared.
In the dark forest, the 12 eyes of the two centipedes were like eerie searchlights, staring both at Gu Xijiu and Mr. Si Chen! Moreover, the scales of their whole body gradually stood up. It was their way of preparing to attack!
Gu Xijiu took a step backward, looked at the stream, and then the two killer centipedes, wondering whether the two would cross the 300 feet-wide river.
As soon as she thought of this, the two killer centipedes hissed, and launched themselves with their tail into the sky! They flew over the river towards their direction like two colorful rainbows!
Damn it!
When Gu Xijiu was about to react, Mr. Si Chen who was nearby suddenly rushed to her and held on her arm, "Let’s go, quick!"
Gu Xijiu was shocked as he hugged her, but she could not care about this at the moment. Before the two monsters got them, she quickly teleported towards the inner part of the forest while carrying Mr. Si Chen. Simultaneously, the two killer centipedes also landed at the exact spot where Gu Xijiu stood before teleporting.
They missed and thus, they were furious! They looked at each other, and one of them raised its head to make a long, high-pitched hiss. The hiss was echoing through the dense forest, and after a while, various howling was heard from the inner part of the forest like the ferocious beasts were responding towards the order they received.
After the hiss, the two killer centipedes went into the dense forest to continue their chase.
...
Gu Xijiu had not expected that the two killer centipedes would be so stubborn and not let her go.
No matter where she teleported to, the two creatures would come to her after a moment! As they were tough to shake off, she had no time to breathe at all.
She felt, even more, trouble this time as Mr. Si Chen, who appeared to be open-hearted, was sticking tightly by her side and did not want to let go of her arm. Therefore, she had no choice but to teleport while bringing him along. It was like carrying a big oil tank.
"Little Xijiu, it’s not a good strategy to continue running. The killer centipedes are very tough, and they will never give up on their prey unless you kill them!" Mr. Si Chen was nagging beside Gu Xijiu.
As Gu Xijiu could not speak while teleporting, she could only reply him breathlessly soon after she finished with each teleportation, "It’s easy to say! These two creatures have no weaknesses. And neither sword nor poison could harm…"
Otherwise, she would have killed them, even before he would nag her.
Because Gu Xijiu had to teleport continuously while dragging a person, she was so tired that her face turned pale. However, that was not her biggest problem right now. She seemed to have inevitably disturbed ferocious beasts’ nests wherever she teleported to, and those creatures were chasing after her now.
As the number of times she teleported increased, the number of ferocious beasts chasing after her increased too.
She kept teleporting while many strange roaring and howling creatures followed after her. It seemed rather horrifying. The bristling and hustling sounds were heard from the surrounding bushes. The scene felt like a little rabbit trespassed the Jurassic Park mistakenly and was chased by various ferocious dinosaurs. Every second was extremely dangerous!
Gu Xijiu moved her arm which had been hugged by Mr. Si Chen and felt numb and pain as if a thousand catties of things had hit her arm.
