Chapter 346 How to Disguise
Perhaps because it was afraid of the knives in their hands, the tiger stopped when it was two meters away from them.
It grinned, revealing its fangs, which seemed to glow with a cold light, reminding Gu Liyue and the others that it was very dangerous.
Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou were used to seeing those exaggerated monsters, and they didn't think this tiger was scary. Considering that they had no spiritual power now, they could only deal with it with caution.
The tiger was annoyed when it found that the two men were not afraid of it. Ordinary people would scream and run away when they saw it. Once they ran away, they would lose their composure, and once they lost their composure, they would easily fall into its mouth.
The two men and the tiger just stood there facing each other, neither of them making the first move. Finally, the tiger lost its patience and let out a long roar to the sky, which echoed throughout the mountains and forests. The surrounding trees seemed to be swept by the strong wind, making a rustling sound, as if responding to the king of the forest.
The tiger was satisfied with its roar. It arched its back and prepared to leap. The two-meter distance was within its reach in just one leap.
Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou both took a step back, moved their bodies away, and chopped with their swords.
The tiger jumped into the air and saw this posture. It saw two big swords waiting for it below. It was too late to stop. It twisted its waist and turned in another direction. It swept its tail to avoid the big swords and swept towards Gu Liyue and the others.
Gu Liyue did not retreat but advanced, avoiding the tiger's tail, lowered his body, took two steps forward, aimed his knife at the tiger's belly, and chopped it hard.
The knife only scratched the tiger's skin, and a streak of blood appeared on the tiger's abdomen, but it was not deep. The tiger fell to the ground in pain, and it was enraged.
Nie Hengzhou took the opportunity to slap the tiger's head with a knife. There was a dull sound, and Nie Hengzhou felt his right hand was a little numb from the shock.
The tiger shook its head and stood up; the attack had done it no good.
Gu Liyue and the others also realized the power gap between a mortal and a tiger. No wonder ordinary people run away when they see a tiger.
Gu Liyue felt that the knife was not suitable for her hand and was not sharp. Seeing Nie Hengzhou shaking his hand, she knew that his hand must have been numb from the shock.
The two looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Gu Liyue said, "This tiger's skin is really thick. Maybe the knife wasn't sharp enough. I just scratched it once but couldn't cause any damage to it."
"I slapped it and it numbed my hand."
The tiger saw that they still had time to chat, so he roared and jumped over again.
Gu Liyue dodged sideways and fled. After thinking for a moment, she put down the knife and pretended to take out her dagger from her sleeve.
Nie Hengzhou raised the knife and chopped at the tiger's head with all his strength, leaving a wound on the tiger's head. Blood flowed down its forehead and into its eyes. The tiger endured the pain and shook off the blood. Seeing Gu Liyue standing beside it, it turned around, swept its tail towards Nie Hengzhou, and then pounced on Gu Liyue.
Gu Liyue fell to the ground, holding the dagger tightly in both hands, and stabbed it into the cloud along the cut that had just been made and then cut it open.
Nie Hengzhou staggered when he was swept, and felt a piercing pain in his calf. Before he could react, he saw Gu Liyue being knocked down by the tiger, and the knife was not in Gu Liyue's hand.
He was shocked. The full-strength attack just now had made him exhausted. He didn't care and kept chopping at the tiger with his knife.
Unexpectedly, the tiger fell down, and Gu Liyue's clear voice rang out beside him: "Hengzhou, it's okay, the tiger is dead."
In fact, Gu Liyue followed the tiger's momentum, quickly cut its abdomen, and then quickly slid out.
His eyes narrowed as he saw Gu Liyue lying on the ground beside him with blood on her face. He walked over and hugged Gu Liyue tightly in his arms, his whole body trembling.
He just watched the tiger pounce on Gu Liyue and thought she was in great danger.
He said in a hoarse voice: "I thought I lost you."
Gu Liyue patted his back and said soothingly, "It's okay, don't worry."
Nie Hengzhou still held her tightly, his head resting on her shoulder. Gu Liyue felt the wetness spreading on her shoulder, so she had no choice but to let him hug her again.
After a while, until he calmed down, she pushed him away and said, "It's okay. Let's get rid of this tiger and go to the city to sell it tomorrow."
Nie Hengzhou let her go and looked at her and said, "Are you really okay? How did you do it?"
Gu Liyue smiled as she looked at the dagger hidden in her hand. She approached him and whispered, "This is the dagger I used before."
Nie Hengzhou saw her cautious look and instantly understood that Gu Liyue wanted to share her secret with him. She was just afraid of others knowing, and there were no outsiders here.
He thought again, maybe Sang Lin was staring at them at this moment, and he understood.
He also whispered: "I know."
Gu Liyue smiled slightly.
"Hengzhou, I think we're good at hunting, but we don't have any hand-supporting weapons. See if you can make something."
Gu Liyue used her dagger to deal with the tiger, and asked Nie Hengzhou to pick up some firewood. They found a flat place, made a fire and roasted the tiger meat.
She picked out the things that looked valuable, then sat down to barbecue.
It is said that tiger meat is not tasty, it is smelly and fishy. She quietly took out some meat that she had saved from the space and roasted it together.
Nie Hengzhou's eyes lit up when he recognized the flesh of a spirit beast. Sure enough, Gu Liyue had another storage space that didn't require spiritual energy.
He had not been idle just now. He cut some vines from the surrounding area and made two backpacks to carry tiger meat tomorrow.
Gu Liyue watched him weaving and said, "I didn't expect you, Hengzhou, to have such skill. You weave so realistically."
"As a weapon refiner, I need to know some skills like this," Nie Hengzhou said. "Tomorrow I'll find some bamboo and make some bows and arrows. They'll be more useful for hunting in the future."
That night they took turns sleeping by the fire. In this mortal world, one must not only eat but also sleep, otherwise one would not be able to survive.
The next morning, Gu Liyue woke up and saw Nie Hengzhou lying beside her with his head tilted to his side and looking at her. She had just woken up and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes. She blinked and saw Nie Hengzhou looking at her with a smile.
She remembered that they were all transformed into mortals in an unknown place.
Then I heard Nie Hengzhou say, "Good morning, Yue."
His voice was low and magnetic, and Gu Liyue smiled sweetly in response: "Good morning, Zhou."
When Nie Hengzhou heard this name, he felt it was much more intimate than the name Hengzhou. He said, "I like you calling me that."
"Um."
Gu Liyue sat up, stretched, and tidied herself.
He took out two more spiritual fruits, one for each person.
After packing up their things, they each carried a backpack and prepared to go into the city.
Gu Liyue looked at Nie Hengzhou, then at herself and said, "Should we change our appearance? We can't let the princess recognize us."
Nie Hengzhou replied, "I have thought about this, but we don't have spiritual power, so we can't use magic tools. We also don't know if the disguise pill will be effective, so how can we change our appearance?"
