Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 37: Mysterious Old Man, Enemy Attack! (Please vote and read!)

Gu Yuan was a little envious of those children from wealthy families. Once they started practicing martial arts, they had medicinal food for every meal and even elixirs to assist them in their practice. This advantage alone made them much better than a common martial artist like him.

It is no wonder that among the martial arts masters in the world, the majority are from famous families.

That's right, not to mention the advantages of martial arts techniques, guidance from teachers, etc., just in terms of eating, a common martial artist like him may not even be able to eat enough, so how can he improve his cultivation?
Do I have to practice on an empty stomach?
If you can't even keep up with eating and drinking, your blood and energy will only be depleted. Forcing yourself to practice is just seeking death!

"Fortunately, although I'm a civilian martial artist, I'm also considered a semi-paying player."

Gu Yuan stopped and took out a piece of decades-old Polygonatum from the package. He washed it and started to chew it.

This thing doesn’t taste delicious, but the effect is good.

When a trace of heat began to rise in his body, he drew out his sword and began to practice the "Spirit Snake Sword Technique" again.

It lasted until late at night. After being exhausted, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The path of martial arts practice is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will move backward.

Although Gu Yuan relied on the spirit pet system to obtain talents such as Iron Fang and Snake Coil, which enabled him to make rapid progress, Gu Yuan did not lose his heart and think of relying solely on the spirit pet system.

The system is the system, and he himself also needs to practice down-to-earth. Even if the progress is slow, the advantages are visible and tangible, and more down-to-earth!

Moreover, no matter how slow the progress is, there will always be gains as long as water drips through stone.

creak creak-

Early in the morning, Gu Yuan woke up to a slightly harsh sound.

Ah Huang, who was standing by, was holding a piece of iron that he had stolen from somewhere and gnawing on it vigorously. The hard iron block was now full of pits and teeth marks, which made his teeth ache.

But the sound of Ah Huang's teeth scraping against the iron block was really harsh.

The big mouth was wrapped around Gu Yuan's arm, with an innocent face, and its black eyes looked at Gu Yuan with a bit of cuteness, its gray body twisted around and around like a hemp rope.

As for A Wu, because it was a little longer, in order to avoid being discovered, Gu Yuan let it stay in the stable outside.

Gu Yuan ignored Erxiao and got up to wash.

Although he practiced until late last night and was exhausted, after a night's rest, he is now full of energy and vitality, and his whole body is surging with lively vitality.

When he went downstairs to have breakfast, Gu Yuan found that Yang Han, Xia Xiuxue, Yang Jianfei and others had returned and were having breakfast together.

Gu Yuan took a glance and was not surprised. He chatted with Zhou Zhong while eating breakfast.

After breakfast, we arrived at the inn. The caravan's carriages were also filled with goods. The grooms took out hay and soybeans and began to feed the horses, preparing to set off and return to Beiliang County.

However, when the caravan set off, Gu Yuan quickly discovered something unusual.

The carriage that Xia Xiuxue was riding in was already occupied.

But the person inside was not Xia Xiuxue, but an old man with white hair and beard.

Although the old man was not young anymore, he had a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from his body. In addition, his spotless white robe gave him a somewhat immortal-like demeanor.

The old man looked calm and composed, and he was in a grand ceremony, with a pair of boys and girls serving him.

Moreover, Yang Han, Xia Xiuxue and others were quite polite to him, even extremely respectful, calling him "Mr. Mo".

Xia Xiuxue, whose carriage was occupied, was not angry at all. Instead, she ordered two maids to serve the old man well, and she simply rode on horseback like Yang Han and others.

Gu Yuan just glanced at the old man in white robe, and he seemed to notice something, his eyes moved, and he looked over.

Gu Yuan's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head. Seeing that it was a martial artist of low cultivation, the old man in white robes called Mo Lao didn't care. He waved his hand, and the boy next to him closed the curtain, blocking everyone's view.

"He can be treated respectfully by Yang Han and others, and he also has this terrifying keen power to detect other people's gazes. What is the origin of this old man? He seems to be quite extraordinary."

Gu Yuan pondered in his heart, but he was also certain that this old man was definitely a great master!

Not only Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong and old man Guo Jin were also a little confused, wondering who this old man was.

However, Yang Han and others would certainly not explain the identity of "Mr. Mo" to Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong and others. After announcing the departure, the convoy slowly moved away from Qingliu Town.

After the caravan left, several figures also left Qingliu Town and followed the caravan stealthily.

"Huh? Someone's following us?"

Not long after leaving Qingliu Town, Gu Yuan had an idea.

Ah Huang, who was following the caravan, had already sent him the message through mental communication.

Among the three little ones, Ah Huang has the highest IQ and can express things most clearly, so Gu Yuan deliberately let it follow the caravan.

From Ah Huang's description, Gu Yuan could barely make out that there were a few people following the caravan stealthily.

At first, it was just lagging far behind, with no intention of catching up.

But until now, the caravan has moved away from Qingliu Town and arrived in the wilderness, and these people have directly increased their speed.

Gu Yuan secretly concentrated his mind and increased his vigilance, while on the surface he was chatting idly with Zhou Zhongxian.

Not long after, when the caravan passed a corner.

suddenly,

Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows shot out from the dense forest on the right, many of which directly hit the caravan members.

Accompanied by screams, some people were stabbed in the torso, while others were shot in the hands, feet and limbs.

Some were even more unlucky, as their heads were pierced through and they died on the spot without a sound!

This scene happened so suddenly that the entire caravan was stunned for a moment before they reacted.

"Enemy attack! Be careful!"

Yang Han was furious. He flicked his ten fingers and easily deflected several arrows that were flying towards him. He roared and warned everyone.

However, Gu Yuan felt that although Yang Han's expression was angry, his eyes were quite calm and composed, without any surprise, as if he had anticipated this scene!
Choke, choke, choke——

Everyone in the caravan was equipped with weapons. When they realized what was happening, they drew their swords, hid behind the carriages, and began to be on guard.

After being prepared, the threat posed by these arrows to everyone was obviously reduced a lot.

Bang!
Gu Yuan turned his wrist and easily cut off a flying arrow with his sword, then hid behind Zhou Zhong behind the carriage.

This guy is huge and is a perfect meat shield!

Zhou Zhong glared at him fiercely, but had no time to talk nonsense with him. He held the short axe tightly in his hand and looked at the dense forest opposite nervously, his palms showing signs of sweat.

After a moment, the arrows finally stopped.

A group of people walked out of the dense forest and split into two groups, secretly surrounding the entire caravan.
