The next day, just as dawn broke, Gu Zheng and Changfeng climbed out of the tent.
After the second roast meat was eaten by the white cat, Gu Zheng was not in the mood to roast anymore. He ate some of the leftover meat and went to rest. Changfeng wanted to eat, but Gu Zheng was not in the mood, so he had no choice.
But fortunately, Changfeng ate a lot of roast meat and drank some meat soup. He was finally full and slept well at night. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, woke up a few times in the night, afraid that the white cat would come back.
At dawn, the two of them set off. They did not go back, but continued to walk deeper. This time, they wanted to find some useful treasures. They had only been out for a day, and Gu Zheng did not want to go back just like that. He wanted to leave the white cat's territory. If he could not provoke it, then he would hide. Leave this place and go somewhere else.
They were on the road for almost the whole day. Gu Zheng did not look for any ingredients, but he still picked up some along the way. There were seven or eight items, all of which were put in a bag.
Unfortunately, they were all second-grade ingredients, and there was no ordinary ingredient.
Last time, they were able to find the Jade Poria because they had information and clues about it. If they did not have any clues, they would not have been able to find it. This time, they were blindly searching without clues, so it was very difficult to find it.
Gu Zheng was mentally prepared for this. He did not expect to be able to find something quickly once they entered the mountain.
In the evening, the two of them stopped. This time, they did not camp by the stream. They found a higher ground and camped in an open space. As for the water source, Gu Zheng took the initiative to find it. Changfeng was only responsible for the construction of the camp.
Gu Zheng had the Water Control Art. In this primitive mountain, as long as he had the Water Control Art, there would be no shortage of water.
According to Changfeng's calculations, they had walked at least 30 kilometers in the mountain today. It was a full 60 kilometers. This was not a short journey. The mountain roads were different from the roads outside. If not for Changfeng's professional training and Gu Zheng's not an ordinary person, they would not have been able to walk so far.
Thirty kilometers was enough to pass through most cities. Gu Zheng looked into the distance. They had probably passed through the white cat's territory, so there was no need to worry about it.
"Gu Zheng, shall we continue the barbecue tonight?"
After tidying up the camp, Changfeng asked again. They had been on the road today, so they didn't hunt any game. However, there were still more than half of yesterday's deer left, and the rest were thrown away by them.
The weather was not hot at the moment, and Gu Zheng had processed the deer meat, so it would not spoil.
"Alright, let's barbecue then!"
After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng agreed. Actually, Gu Zheng was also very curious about the taste of the roasted meat yesterday. He didn't even get to eat it himself. It was all eaten by the white cat.
Now that they were far away from the white cat, they could roast it again and eat it together. They could also have a taste of the fusion of ingredients this time.
They set up a fire and barbecued the meat. Soon, the golden color of yesterday's meat appeared again. Not long after, the fragrant and piping hot roasted deer leg was roasted by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng cut it into slices. The two of them held knives and ate directly.
"Delicious!"
After taking a bite, Changfeng's face changed. This roasted meat was much better than the first roasted meat yesterday. The meat was fresh and tender, and the fishy smell was gone. There was also a hint of sweetness. The meat was delicate and not tough. It was very crisp when bitten. There was a bit of spiciness in the meat, but it was not obvious. Whether it was the sweetness or the spiciness, it was wrapped in a mellow fragrance.
This kind of roasted meat was much better than the first roasted meat yesterday. It was no exaggeration to say that it was several times better.
Changfeng dared to say that this was the best roasted meat he had ever eaten. It seemed that in Gu Zheng's place, the best things he had ever eaten were always broken.
The best fried eggs, the best chicken blood soup, and now the best roasted meat.
Fragrant, sweet, tender, spicy, delicious. The two of them ate very comfortably. Not long after, half of the deer leg was finished by them.
Gu Zheng was about to continue cutting the meat when his body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head in disbelief. Then his eyes suddenly tightened. The white cat from yesterday had actually appeared again. This time, it had appeared behind him without anyone noticing.
Changfeng felt Gu Zheng's strangeness. He raised his head and was also stunned.
This white cat had actually followed them.
The white cat gave Gu Zheng a supercilious look, as if rolling its eyes at him. Then, it jumped over and unceremoniously bit the meat on the plate. Changfeng was anxious. Just as he was about to chase it away, he was pulled over by Gu Zheng.
What a joke. Not to mention the two of them, even if there were ten of them, they would not be a match for this little cat. If they chased it away, it would be like an old man eating arsenic. They were tired of living.
"Gu Zheng, what are you doing?" Changfeng was very surprised. He did not know that Gu Zheng was saving him.
"Don't make a sound!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly shushed him. He only hoped that the white cat would leave after eating its fill like yesterday.
Soon, half of the deer leg was finished by the white cat. The white cat licked its mouth and seemed to want more. It raised its head and looked at Gu Zheng.
"Meow!"
After a while, the white cat called out again and jumped to the deer corpse. There was still a leg on the deer's body that had not been roasted.
"You, you want me to continue roasting?"
Gu Zheng looked at it blankly. As soon as he finished speaking, the white cat called out and nodded.
Chang Feng was dumbfounded. He felt that he had gone crazy. Not only did a cat snatch their barbecue, but this cat didn't have enough to eat and actually let them continue to barbecue. The key point was that Gu Zheng could understand the cat's words.
"Okay, I'll roast it!"
In the face of the white cat's request, Gu Zheng did not dare to refuse. He knew how powerful this white cat was. If he did not roast it, who knew what it would do.
He set up a fire and roasted the meat.
Gu Zheng had already roasted it a few times, so he was very familiar with it. It didn't take long for him to finish roasting it. Gu Zheng cut it into small pieces for the white cat and put them all on the plate.
The white cat looked at the plate and only took half of it. It then slowly ate it. After eating, it called out with satisfaction, licked its mouth and slowly left.
It seemed that a deer leg was enough to satisfy it. Yesterday, it ate one by itself and was full. Today, there was only half of it left. So it let Gu Zheng continue to roast it until it was full before leaving.
"Gu Zheng, what's going on?"
After the white cat left, Changfeng asked. He did not feel that the white cat was powerful, but he could feel Gu Zheng's nervousness. He had a strange feeling that Gu Zheng seemed to be afraid of the white cat.
"It's nothing. Don't ask. I'll tell you when it's time. There's still some roasted meat left. Let's eat it!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. They had only eaten half of it and were not full. Then the white cat came. The roasted meat was not cold yet. At least it was still edible. It was just that the texture was not as good as when it had just been roasted.
The white cat did not touch the roasted meat. It only took away what it wanted to eat. Otherwise, Gu Zheng would not dare to eat it.
After eating, they went to sleep. This time, Gu Zheng did not think too much. With yesterday's experience, he knew that the white cat would not disturb them once it was full. In fact, even if it disturbed them, there was nothing they could do. It was better to sleep.
