ensuring she could return quickly in
case of danger giangi and Chong xingang
ascended the mountain with their baskets
giangi wielded a thick bamboo stick to
clear their path sliding it across the
ground as they climbed higher the
density of the trees increased and
sunlight filtered through less
occasionally ganji marked the trees to
keep track of their route following the
stream they treed for about an hour
until they reached the source a 10 m
wide pool remarkably although the pool
appeared small it continuously emitted a
flow of water on the opposite side a
stream formed leading down another
direction of the mountain standing by
the pool they observed when Chang
xingang suddenly reached into the water
he emerged holding an enormous Turtle
startling Gan G who instinctively took a
step back chang shing's expression
remained impassive the turtle staring
ing vacantly back at her what do you
intend to do with it giangi asked Chun
xingang replied isn't it edible giangi
gazed at the large creature pondering
how many years it had lived and whether
eating it might shorten her own lifespan
scanning it she confirmed it was indeed
a spirit Beast a third tier Spirit
Turtle possessing weak offensive
capabilities but remarkable Vitality the
turtle so Grand in size has likely lived
for an extensive period perhaps it would
be wise to refrain from consuming it for
now Chong xingang cast a glance at her
then directed his gaze towards the
Magnificent Turtle reluctantly returning
it to the pond the large Turtle swam
away glancing back at the two with eyes
that sparkled with gratitude after a
while Chun xingang dipped his hand back
into the pond feeling around until he
emerged with a sizable crab the crab
waved its pincers struggling vigorously
in protest this one should be edible
right giangi remarked producing a length
of rope to bind the crab before placing
it into their basket Chong xingang
continued to catch seven or eight more
suddenly Gian recalled the earlier
inquiry she had made to Ching xingang
regarding his method of catching fish he
had claimed to do so by hand and she had
initially thought he was jesting yet it
seemed he spoke the truth Chong shingun
noticing gian's peculiar gaze upon Him
spoke up this is my skill I can catch
fish with my bare hands a do a
remarkable skill indeed I do enjoy
fishing by hand G Yi replied stifling a
laugh as she added the crab to the
basket those Vines earlier were also
your handiwork weren't they as they
continued their Ascent up the mountain
Chong xingang suddenly interjected Gian
G did not conceal her acknowledgement
murmuring an affirmation impressive it
surpasses my own fishing skills Chen
xingang said his head bowed as he walked
giangi glanced at him wondering if this
man was truly so fragile did he become
melancholic after merely a few Chuckles
after Tre for another half hour a
massive wild chicken appeared in the
distance prompting both to Halt abruptly
the mountain seemed either devoid of
prey or populated by creatures of
enormous size which was astonishing the
gigantic wild chicken hopped about
joyfully oblivious to its impending doom
the distance was too great for proper
scanning yet a wild chicken should pose
no significant challenge Gian readied
her armor-piercing bow aiming at the
Colossal fowl while Chang xingang
stealthily approached it with utmost
caution the fully drawn swordfish Arrow
soared swiftly towards the wild chicken
striking deep into its hind leg the
injured creature let out a piercing cry
limping away in panic seizing the
opportunity giangi launched another
arrow and the enraged wild chicken
turned to confront her its beak wide
open as it screeched loudly instantly
Gian felt a splitting pain in her head
she covered her ears and shouted to Chun
shongit attack method is sound Chun had
