Chapter 8 Departure, Next Stop
"Then what is this? It should be drinkable, right?" He Jing took out the leftover electrolyte water from his bag and asked him.
"This is fine. This is an energy supplement. Okay, you go upstairs and sleep. I'll be watching downstairs."
He Jing breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing her fire, she returned to the tree and felt a little cold. She snuggled up in her clothes and looked at the tiger under the tree.
In the firelight he seemed to glow, and every hair was rimmed with gold.
Gu Zheng walked around the area, leaving his scent behind to deter any animals that might approach, then returned to He Jing's tree, lay down, and closed his eyes.
From time to time, there was the sound of turning over above my head, and then gradually it returned to calm.
When He Jing woke up, the sun had already risen. This was the first peaceful sleep she had had since she came into this world.
She narrowed her eyes and looked under the tree, but she didn't see the tiger and the fire was out.
He Jing came down from the tree and asked, "Where did he go?" Just as he was thinking, he heard a sound behind him and Gu Zheng came over dragging a pig.
There was no obvious blood on the pig, but it was motionless, so it must be dead.
-----------------
Gu Zheng woke up on time at six o'clock. Light was beginning to appear in the dark blue sky. Seeing that the kitten was still sleeping, he did not call her and went to the south of the forest to look for food.
The ecological environment of the training ground is artificially simulated through magnetic fields. In order to achieve better training effects, animals are not distributed like on natural planets. Everything here is more like a randomly refreshed distribution.
There is a fern patch on the south side, which grows tall and lush. Its broad leaves and thick stems are the favorite hiding places for wild animals.
Gu Zheng moved silently under the leaves. The sunlight filtered through dimly, giving his milky white fur a golden edge.
Occasionally, branches and leaves swayed around, and a little deer suddenly popped up. It looked around carefully, then lowered its head and disappeared into the ferns.
Gu Zheng pricked up his ears and used his nose to accurately detect the target's scent. He quietly walked over, taking every step so lightly that he didn't even disturb the leaves above his head.
The deer that had disappeared soon reappeared in his sight.
Gu Zheng waited quietly for the opportunity, a pair of deep blue eyes among the overlapping roots and leaves locked onto the target.
The fawn is very cautious. It lowers its head to eat a few bites, then looks around to make sure it is safe before continuing to eat.
It was quiet, with only the rustle of the wind through the bracken.
It pricked up its ears, moved with the wind, and then lowered its head to eat. Gu Zheng waited quietly, and the deer got closer and closer to him.
He slowly lowered his body, his limbs began to gather strength, and his gently swaying tail hung quietly on the ground. The moment the deer lowered its head, he rushed over, bit its neck directly, and threw it to the ground.
The little deer opened its eyes wide and began to struggle, but Gu Zheng held it down tightly, tightened his teeth and bit it tightly, and soon the deer stopped moving.
The kitten seemed to dislike venison. Gu Zheng recalled He Jing's reaction when he ate venison last night. He was obviously slower than when he ate fish.
Got to catch something else.
While wondering what other animals might appear nearby, he dragged the fawn aside and hid it.
Gu Zheng cleaned the blood splattered on his body, rubbed it on the fern next to him to cover up the smell, turned around and disappeared under the leaves again.
Soon, he smelled the scent of wild boar.
Gu Zheng sniffed carefully with his nose raised. The smell was obvious and should be nearby.
The wild boar was not as cautious as the deer. It ran happily in the fern bushes, and sure enough, there were leaves shaking not far away.
This was an adult wild boar of huge size. Gu Zheng didn't notice it when he approached, perhaps because he was confident of his size.
The wild boar was eating grass with its head down. Gu Zheng quietly came to its right rear and rushed up without hesitation.
"Ah!" With a scream, the wild boar's neck was bitten tightly by the tiger, and the huge force almost knocked it down!
It flailed around, trying to throw the tiger off its back.
It has a large body and great strength, which it can use to throw its opponent away in many cases.
Sure enough, the strength in his neck disappeared, and he rushed towards the place where the stems were tangled without looking back.
Unfortunately, the person it encountered this time was Gu Zheng. As soon as its front legs touched the ground, it felt a sharp tearing pain in its hind legs! "Ouch!" Its body hit the ground.
Gu Zheng tore a deep gash in one of the wild boar's hind legs with one claw, leaving the bone visible. Then he rushed forward, grabbed its back and tore its neck open.
The wild boar is big, but the tiger is even bigger. Once it is pinned down, it is difficult for it to turn over.
The howling in my ears became quieter and quieter, and slowly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to silence.
Gu Zhengsong spoke, drained the wild boar's blood, and dragged it back to the deer.
He Jing seemed to be unaware of the existence of high-level humans before. Gu Zheng thought that she seemed to have been living in a backward area with only ordinary people. Before this, she didn't know that she would turn into a beast, and she was not adapted to the beast-like way of survival.
But Gu Zheng has a huge food requirement, and it is impossible for him to roast everything before eating. Eating raw meat is inevitable for his beast form.
Don't want to scare her.
Such an uneasy thought popped up in Gu Zheng's calm mind.
He put the wild boar aside, walked over to the fawn and started eating it directly.
A deer soon ended up in the tiger's stomach.
Gu Zheng calculated the time and the kitten should be waking up soon.
So he licked his fur clean bit by bit, picked up the pig that looked relatively clean and walked back.
-----------------
The timing was just right, he stood far away and watched the kitten come down from the tree.
"woke up?"
"Um!"
Gu Zheng signaled He Jing to follow and dragged the wild boar towards the small river in the north.
The two walked one after the other, the morning sunshine shining on them, dispelling the chill left over from the night.
A small river appeared in front of them, "Is this river water drinkable?" He Jing looked at Gu Zheng with shining eyes.
"Can."
He Jing cheered and leaned forward, taking a swig. "Wow! It's sweet!"
Gu Zheng seemed to be infected, and a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes. He walked a few steps further downstream to deal with the pig.
He Jing finally had the chance to see what he looked like. He looked a bit like a ragdoll cat with tabby stripes. Very cute, and one look at him made people want to rub him.
She washed her paws, which had become extremely black in the past few days. Since she was not a real cat, she couldn't bring herself to eat them. (>﹏<)
He Jing played for a while. The river water in the early morning had a special smell that made people feel refreshed!
After Gu Zheng finished processing the pig, the two of them returned to the tree, rekindled the fire, and started grilling!
Gu Zheng's fingertips were like sharp knives, easily cutting the meat into slices. There was a lot of meat today, and if he roasted the whole thing like he did last night, he might not be able to eat it until noon.
Sizzle, sizzle, the oil in the meat comes out, and the familiar meaty aroma overflows.
"What kind of meat is this?" He Jing felt a little greedy, but still couldn't help asking.
"Wild boar." Gu Zheng looked up at her.
"Oh..." He Jing looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't feel disgusted. He stared at the meat with bright eyes.
Gu Zheng observed it and looked away.
