Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan stood on the shore, looking confused.

The white fox whispered in her ear, "Master, do you feel it? This man called Nan Xing Kuang is very powerful. His strength is definitely not inferior to Bai Jingtian."

"Yes! It's hard to imagine that someone as powerful as him is just the junior brother of General Long Zhen. Then how strong is he as a senior brother?" Gu Chan sighed.

When she first learned physical skills, she had no idea about the strength of this world.

It was not until now, after such a long period of living and adapting, that she understood that all masters of physical skills like these were not weaklings, nor were they the kind of people who could easily lose their lives.

So at this time she was also wondering whether Long Zhen was really still alive, and whether he had pretended to be poisoned to death in order to escape!

Of course, without solid evidence, she couldn't be sure.

The earthworm wrapped around the hook said, "Boss, are you still going to catch this fish? If not, I'll go home and sleep."

"Of course I fished, why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Chan came back to his senses.

After saying that, she broke off another wooden stick, reconnected the broken hemp rope, tied it to the wooden stick to make a new fishing rod, and started fishing for the second time.

The second time fishing was much smoother than the first time. Not long after, Gu Chan successfully caught a carp weighing more than two kilograms with the help of earthworms.

The earthworm completed its task, and Gu Chan poured some spiritual energy into its body as a reward for it before letting it go.

The carp that was caught was in trouble. Gu Chan didn't give it any water, and just let it lie on the mud on the shore, letting it struggle. When it was exhausted and lying on the ground unable to move, Gu Chan said, "Jump! Why don't you jump?"

[Damned two-legged beast, if you have the guts, let me go into the water and fight me underwater for three hundred rounds.] The carp lay on the ground and cursed.

"Hey! You still dare to scold me? I think you are someone who deserves a beating. I'll pluck a few scales from you first." Gu Chan said in a pretended cruel manner.

Then she immediately took action and quickly pulled off a few scales from the carp.

The carp cried out in pain, and then it came to its senses. The little two-legged beast in front of it could actually understand animal language. Surprised, it begged for mercy and said, "Little brother, let's talk it over, don't be violent!"

"Just be good and listen to me. I'm going to fish you out tonight. I'm not going to eat you. I just want to get some information from you. As long as you answer me honestly, I'll let you go." Gu Chan said coldly.

[Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me so much that my heart was pounding.] The carp started to talk.

Gu Chan slapped it on the head and cursed, "Stop talking nonsense to me. Tell me, is there a white turtle in the Jiangnan River? Where can I find it?"

[It is in a water cave below Jiangnan Camp. There are many people there and the spiritual energy is abundant, which helps it absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.] The carp said honestly.

Gu Chan frowned and muttered, "Damn it, it seems that I really have to go to this Jiangnan camp."

"Little brother, I've told you everything. Can you let me go now?" said the carp.

"I'm warning you! Keep this a secret from me and don't make noise in the water. If you alarm the white turtle, I will definitely catch you back and make you into braised fish." Gu Chan threatened coldly.

After saying that, she used her spiritual energy to probe into the carp's body, just like she did with the earthworm just now, and made a spiritual energy mark inside it.

The carp just laughed at her and stopped talking.

Gu Chan thought it was really obedient, so she raised her leg and kicked it into the river.

Unexpectedly, after the carp returned to the water, it began to jump around again, and yelled at Gu Chan, "You damned two-legged beast, I will remember today's grudge for you. I will go and complain to the White Turtle Master and let him deal with you, you bastard."

"Damn it! Damn it! Just wait for me. One day I will catch you and make you into braised fish." Gu Chan cursed angrily.

[Bah! I’m in the water now, you want to catch me? Dream on!] the carp said arrogantly.

After saying that, it dived into the water and disappeared without a trace.

Gu Chan stood on the shore, and her expression immediately changed from anger to a sneer.

She was not stupid enough to simply trust a fish. She had just made spiritual marks on the carp in order to use it to detect the specific location of the white turtle.

Now that the carp has been caught, how can she not be happy?

The white fox said with disdain, "You are just a stinky fish, yet you dare to challenge my master? Sooner or later I will have to eat you."

"Okay, there's no need to get angry with a fish. Let's go! Let's go back to the ruined temple in the city to sleep, and then go to Jiangnan Camp to find Nanxing Kuang tomorrow." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Then she rode on the white fox's back and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, there was suddenly a burst of fire in the direction of the Jiangnan camp ahead. After a while, bursts of noise and sounds of fighting rang out one after another.

The white fox looked at the changes over there and couldn't help wondering, "Master, what happened over at the Jiangnan camp?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid they are training at night! Look at that crazy soldier of Nanxing. He trains so crazily and has to swim four miles every night! There may be more soldiers in the camp who are crazier than him." Gu Chan said.

The white fox nodded without comment.

After that, the man and the fox didn't say anything more. Instead, they calmed down and silently returned to the dilapidated temple on the east street of Jiangnan City.

On the other side, inside the Jiangnan camp.

At this moment, Bai Jingtian was leading those imperial guards and fighting with hundreds of officials from the Censorate and many soldiers in the camp.

On the lookout tower in front of the camp, Nan Xingkuang was standing there in shorts, his face livid.

He was just swimming back when Bai Jingtian brought his men into the camp to capture him. Naturally, several of his lieutenants refused to surrender, and the two sides started fighting fiercely without saying a word.

Look, Nan Xingkuang had just climbed out of the water and hadn’t even had time to put on his clothes, but he hurried over to supervise the battle.

His personal guard quickly came over with a set of clothes and said, "General, put on your clothes quickly and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Yeah!" Nan Xingkuang responded calmly.

The guards helped him change his clothes, and no one was panicked at all.

In contrast, Bai Jingtian and others who were fighting fiercely below were all beaten into a panic, and the hundreds of officials had already been beaten and fled in panic. Bai Jingtian and several eunuchs were stronger and could still put up an effective resistance.

However, they have never been on the battlefield and have never really fought with the generals. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter how strong they are, they are still far inferior to well-trained soldiers in terms of deploying troops and killing the enemy.
