Chapter 2 Understanding the Hearts of Monsters
"Are you telling the truth? Is there really a fiery lion lying in ambush ahead?"

Ye Zhi looked serious, unlike Gu Zhi who belittled and mocked her.

Nan Ran was slightly taken aback, realizing that she had inexplicably heard another voice gloating, saying that a fiery lion was lying in ambush 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 be another kind of demonic beast waiting for an opportunity to strike, hoping to take advantage of the situation when we reach the Flame Lion's ambush location, fight it, and both of us are injured!"

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

[What's going on? I am the Nine-Colored Pot Serpent, possessing innate supernatural abilities. My most powerful ability is the ability to adjust my color according to the environment, blending seamlessly with my surroundings. 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?]
"It's a Nine-Colored Pot Serpent lying in ambush!" Nan Ran was unfamiliar with the creatures of this continent and could only say what he heard.

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

Judging from Yeats's expression, he was probably not someone easy to deal with.

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

Ye Zhi had barely finished speaking when Gu Zhi glared angrily at Nan Ran and snapped, "Nan Ran, what's wrong with you? If you want to get attention, at least consider the occasion!"

"This is a promotion assessment. We're already being dragged down by you, the worst student, and won't have a chance to pass the assessment and become formal disciples!"

"Now you're still spreading alarmist rumors, saying there are Flaming Lions lying in ambush here, and Nine-Colored Pot Snakes lurking behind, how laughable! I bet you don't even know what a Nine-Colored Pot Snake is or what its habits are, do you?"

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

The Nine-Colored Pot Serpent is a water-type creature, and water and fire are incompatible, making the Flame Beast Forest the least likely place for it to appear.

Gu Zhi's voice was quite loud, and the others couldn't help but be stirred up.

Nan Ran was a hopeless student, unable to even memorize the most basic Beast Taming Techniques and the Hundred Beast Manual. This was an open secret throughout the outer sect of the Beast Taming Sect. "I'm the worst in the group, and you're second to last. How are you any better than me? If I'm the one dragging the whole group down, then your daily assessment score, which is only two points higher than mine, isn't that a drag too?"

Nan Ran raised an eyebrow coldly: "I'm always last place because I'm mentally deficient, it's just my nature."

"What, did you also throw away your brain when you were born, so now you can only be the second to last, scoring two points higher than the daily assessment for the brain-dead?"

Gu Zhi opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a way of cursing, which hurt the enemy a thousand while also harming himself eight hundred.

"I……"

It is a fact that Nan Ran is recognized as a good-for-nothing by the outer sect of the Beast Taming Sect.

It is an undeniable fact that Gu Zhi's daily assessment score is only two points higher than that useless Nan Ran.

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

"you……"

Nan Ran rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully, "You, you, you, me, me, me, what do you mean 'you'? What do I mean 'me'?"

"I really don't know which beast was so inconsiderate, not burying its poop properly, and you crawled out of it like a pupa!"
