Chapter 2: Understanding the Monster's Heart

"Are you serious? Is there really a flaming lion lying in ambush ahead?"

Yeats looked serious and did not belittle or ridicule her like Gu Zhi did.

Nan Ran was slightly stunned, thinking that for some reason he had heard another voice, gloating over the misfortune, saying that there was a flaming lion lying in ambush up ahead...

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded with the same serious expression, "There might be more than one Flame Lion lying in ambush. There might also be another demonic beast waiting for an opportunity to strike. They want to take advantage of us reaching the Flame Lion's ambush and fighting it until both of us are injured, so they can take advantage of us and reap the benefits!"

As soon as Nan Ran finished speaking, the voice he had just heard rang in his ears again.

"What's going on? I'm a Nine-Colored Pot Snake, gifted with magical powers. My most powerful gift is the ability to adjust my color to match the surroundings, blending in with them. As long as I don't use my spiritual power, even a ninth-level spiritual cultivator wouldn't be able to detect me. How could this little girl know this?"

"It's a nine-colored pot snake lying in ambush!" Nan Ran didn't know much about the creatures on this continent yet, so he could only say whatever he heard.

Although she didn't know where the sound came from.

But judging from Yeats's expression, he must not be someone easy to deal with.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense. I just had a conversation with Shi Qing..."

Ye Zhi had barely finished speaking when Gu Zhi glared at Nan Ran in anger, scolding, "Nan Ran, what's wrong with you? If you want to make yourself felt, shouldn't you consider the occasion?"

"This is a promotion test. We were already going to be held back by you, a poor student at the bottom. We have no chance of passing the promotion test and becoming official disciples!"

"And now you're still spouting alarmist rhetoric, saying there's a flaming lion lurking here, and a nine-colored kettle snake lurking behind the scenes. How ridiculous! I'm afraid you don't even know what a nine-colored kettle snake is or what its habits are."

"This is the Flame Beast Forest. Do you know why it's called the Flame Beast Forest? It's because the monsters here are almost all fire-type monsters!"

The Nine-Colored Pot Snake is a water-type snake, and water and fire are incompatible. The Flame Beast Forest is the least likely place where the Nine-Colored Pot Snake will appear.

Gu Zhi's voice was quite loud, and the others couldn't help but get excited when they heard it.

Nan Ran is a hopeless student who cannot even recite the most basic Beast Taming Techniques and the Book of Beasts. This is a fact known to almost everyone in the outer sect of the Beast Taming Sect.

"I'm in last place, and you're second to last. How are you any better than me? If I'm a drag on the entire team, then you, second to last with only two points more than me in the daily assessment, aren't a drag?"

Nan Ran raised his eyebrows coldly: "I've always been ranked last, that's because I have a broken brain, it's natural."

"Why? Could it be that you were born without a brain, so now you can only be the second to last one, two points higher than the brainless one in the daily assessment?"

Gu Zhi opened his mouth, but no sound came out for a long time.

It was the first time he had seen such a way of cursing, which hurt the enemy by a thousand and harmed himself by eight hundred.

"I……"

It is a fact that Nan Ran is recognized as a waste by the outer sect of the Beastmaster Sect.

It is an indisputable fact that Gu Zhi only scored two points more than that loser Nan Ran in daily assessment.

He really couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.

"you……"

Nan Ran rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "You you you, me me me, what do you mean by you? What do you mean by me?"

"I really don't know which beast has no moral integrity and didn't bury its shit properly, allowing you to pupate like a cricket!"
