Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 956 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
Soon after, the gas explosion dissipated and the surroundings returned to clarity.

"Pfft!"

Master Jin Yue and Master Yin Yue both opened their mouths and spat out blood, then knelt on one knee with extremely ugly expressions.

Only then did Situ Kong and others run out from a safe place.

Everyone looked up and were stunned.

The place where the two masters had just stood had now turned into a sinkhole three or four feet deep. The originally intact ground around it had already been blown away by the bombardment.

And in this big pit, there were Gu Chan's clothes that were blown to pieces.

Situ Kong quickly rushed into the pit, helped the two masters up from the ground, and asked, "Masters, are you okay?"

"Fortunately, I didn't expect that this brat's charged attack would be so powerful. It seems that we really underestimated him." Master Jin Yue said coldly.

Situ Kong looked at the shredded clothes around him and said, "Did Brother Xu escape with the two big spirit beasts?"

"Escape? With the power of that attack just now, does he still have a chance to escape?" Master Jin Yue said unhappily.

"I'm afraid his body has been blown to ashes in the powerful explosion just now." Master Yin Yue sighed.

Originally, they all valued talent and did not want to kill Gu Chan at all. They just hoped that she would surrender.

But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there is really no possibility for Gu Chan to survive.

Situ Kong said with a sad face, "Brother Xu! Why are you doing this? You are already a ninth-level physical expert at such a young age, and you are also so talented in writing that you can pass the exam. But now, just because of a thought, you have not only ruined your life, but also your bright future. It's such a pity!"

"Okay, stop feeling so emotional. Hurry up and lead everyone to rescue people. The attack just now destroyed so many houses, and many people must have been injured." Master Jin Yue reminded.

"Yes, Master Jin Yue." Situ Kong said respectfully.

After saying that, he led all the strong physical fighters away to rescue people.

Master Yin Yue said angrily, "Damn those gold-eating beasts and black centipedes. I actually let them escape during the chaos. I am really pissed off."

"It doesn't matter. They will all return to the Other Shore Mountain anyway. It won't be too late to settle accounts with them when we have the chance in the future." Master Jin Yue said nonchalantly.

Then the two of them calmed down and slowly returned towards the palace.

On the other side, on the top of the other shore mountain.

At this time, the gold-eating beast and the black centipede had returned here safely.

When it realized that the two old monsters did not chase it, the gold-eating beast opened its big mouth, released Gu Chan who was wrapped in its tongue, and let her lie flat on the ground to rest.

"Huhuhu..."

Gu Chan lay on the ground gasping for breath, her skin still as red as blood, and the spiritual energy in her body was exhausted to the extreme.

The Gold Devourer said in confusion, "I don't understand why you have to do this."

"In this way, Xu Xian, the third place winner of this year's spring examination of Diyue Kingdom, will have left this world forever, right? I can be free from now on." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

[So that's how it is, you are really a thief! ] The gold-eating beast laughed.

The black centipede also praised him, "You deceived everyone with just a torn robe. You are indeed capable."

"Two bosses, thank you for your help tonight. If you need my help in the future, please remember to find me in Zhongyuan City of Tiancang Country. I will do my best to help you if I can." Gu Chan sat up, clasped his fists and saluted.

The gold-eating beast and the black centipede nodded in agreement. Gu Chan endured the weakness coming from her body, stood up and wanted to leave, but she was injured too badly. She had just taken a few steps forward when she suddenly closed her eyes and fainted on the ground.

The black centipede sighed and said, "I'll leave it to you. You're better at taking care of people, but I can't do that."

"You go and have your fun. I like this kid better. I'll take him back to the cave and help him heal his wounds." The gold-eating beast laughed.

After saying that, it stuck out its tongue again, rolled the unconscious Gu Chan into its mouth, and then took her to the cave where it lived to treat her injuries.

Three days later at noon.

Gu Chan, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.

After three days of treatment with the help of the gold-eating beast, her skin has regained its original fair color, and her overall complexion has improved a lot.

The gold-eating beast saw that she had woken up and asked with concern, "How are you? Do you feel better?"

"How long have I been unconscious?" Gu Chan asked.

【It’s been three whole days.】 said the Gold Devourer.

Gu Chan said solemnly, "No, I have to hurry to the northern border to meet up with Miss Guo."

[Given your current situation, it is not suitable for you to show up again. Why don’t you go to the small village at the foot of the other side mountain, buy some clothes from a villager, and then disguise yourself before leaving.] The gold-eating beast reminded.

Gu Chan nodded without comment.

The gold-eating beast stuck out its tongue, rolled her up and sat her on top of its head, then walked out of the cave, took her down the other side of the Other Shore Mountain, and went to the small village nearby.

Half an hour later, the gold-eating beast brought Gu Chan to a forest in front of the small village.

Putting Gu Chan down from his head, he said earnestly, "The small village is just ahead. You can walk the rest of the way by yourself. I can only take you here."

"Thank you, boss." Gu Chan said with a bow.

[Do you know why I am willing to help you like this? ] The Gold Devouring Beast suddenly asked.

Gu Chan shook her head in confusion.

The gold-eating beast explained, "Because the blood in your body is very similar to that of an old friend of mine. She once did me a favor. If she hadn't saved me back then, I would have died a long time ago."

"Who is this old friend you are talking about?" Gu Chan asked curiously.

[Her name is Gu Xian'er, and she was an outstanding swordsmith who was as famous as the beastmaster Yan Wang hundreds of years ago.] The gold-eating beast said softly.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "That's a coincidence. I am her descendant. I went to ask the historian Ouyang Zhao before and he confirmed this."

[I see, this seems to be the so-called fate! I was unable to repay her back then, but now I am repaying her by giving it back to her descendants, which can be regarded as repaying her for saving my life.] The gold-eating beast said happily.

For so many years, it has been feeling resentful for not being able to repay Gu Xian'er for saving its life, but now it can finally rest in peace.

Gu Chan clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "That's it, Boss. Go back and practice well! We'll say goodbye now."

[Okay, have a good journey. I wish you become stronger and stronger in the future.] said the Gold Devouring Beast.

After saying that, it turned and headed back towards the other side of the mountain.

Gu Chan rushed towards the small village ahead. At this moment, her face was filled with a happy smile.

Because from then on, not only did Xu Xian, the top scholar of Diyue Kingdom, disappear, but even the youngest Prince Chan of Tiancang Kingdom disappeared. She could finally return to her female body completely and no longer have to work so hard to hide her true identity.
