For two consecutive days, the white cat visited. Gu Zheng knew that he would definitely not be able to walk faster than it, so he simply ignored it.
This was already Gu Zheng's third day in the mountains. On this day, Gu Zheng had picked a lot of ingredients, found some precious herbs, and even found two ordinary ingredients.
Unfortunately, they were all ordinary mountain fruits. They tasted very good and could be used to make delicacies or desserts. However, they could not be used in combination with the Yin and Yang Dan. The two fruits were thrown into the chaotic space by Gu Zheng.
In these three days, he did have some gains, but he did not find what he really wanted. This also made Gu Zheng sigh. Finding raw materials in the mountains was not as easy as he thought. Last time, he was really lucky to be able to find so many Jade Poria, but unfortunately, this kind of luck would not appear again.
In the afternoon, Gu Zheng began to walk out of the mountain. This time, he had originally planned to enter the mountain for three to five days. Today was already the third day, and with the existence of the white cat, Gu Zheng had already planned to leave.
It was not easy to walk in the mountains, and in the evening, they were still in the mountains. Changfeng found a small lake and the two of them camped by the lake. For three consecutive days, Gu Zheng had learned a lot of survival experience in the mountains. He had learned a lot of various arrangements now, and it was a kind of harvest.
And no matter what, there were two ordinary ingredients this time, so it was not in vain.
"Gu Zheng, there are fish in the lake!"
Just as he finished setting up the tent, Changfeng suddenly cried out in surprise. There were fish in the lake, and they had jumped up just now, and they were not small.
This lake was not big, only the size of an indoor basketball court. It was like a depression, and there were no rivers or waterfalls around it. Many places like this were filled with rainwater, and once there was a drought, it would easily dry up. Generally speaking, there would not be any fish, but he did not expect that there would be fish inside, and a big fish at that.
Gu Zheng ran over, and very quickly, another fish jumped up from the small lake. It was more than ten centimeters long, and this time, Gu Zheng saw it very clearly. It was a type of unknown red fish.
"Inferior grade?"
Gu Zheng approached the lake and used his immortal power to test it. Within his range, he found more than ten fish, all of them were quite big, and all of them were inferior ingredients.
Second-grade fish, especially freshwater fish, were rare. Even in the wild lakes, there were not many second-grade fish. At most, there were about 20% of them. Wild fish grew in a good environment, but not all of them could grow to become second-grade. Their physique and the food they ate had very strict requirements. Once they ate a little bit of contaminated food, the quality could only be fixed at low-grade.
Gu Zheng was surprised that the fish here were of inferior quality, and all of them were of inferior quality.
"Changfeng, let's eat grilled fish tonight!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said. For the past two days, Gu Zheng had been barbecuing meat. At noon, he casually dealt with it. The four legs of the water deer from before had all been eaten. Moreover, the ingredients were no longer fresh. Gu Zheng did not plan to continue cooking today.
Fish, on the other hand, was different. These were all fresh fish, second-grade fish. The flesh of the fish was more tender and tasted better.
"Grilled fish, great!"
Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he casually revealed a look of annoyance: "It's a pity that I didn't bring fishing tools, so I can't catch fish!"
"I have a way!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He had the Water Control Art, so catching fish was not too easy. However, he still found two sticks and made a small net, preparing to use the net to catch fish.
With the help of the Water Control Art, Gu Zheng caught two fish at once, which made Changfeng very excited.
After catching the fish, Gu Zheng looked at the small lake again. It was called a small lake, but it was actually a small pond. The area was not big, but the water was very deep. Gu Zheng's Water Control Art could control the water source within a range of ten meters. Just now, Gu Zheng tested it, but it did not reach the bottom of ten meters.
No wonder this small lake was not dry, and there were such fish. He did not know if the bottom of the lake was connected to some spring, so it was like this.
After looking for a while, Gu Zheng went to prepare the tools to grill the fish. The depth of the small lake had nothing to do with him. He did not know the Turtle Breathing Technique, and he also did not want to go down to the bottom of the lake to explore and find any treasures. That was a plot that only existed in TV shows and novels. All he wanted was the fish in the lake.
Grilled fish was the same as grilled meat. The difference was that fish had a stronger fishy smell and required more ingredients.
Gu Zheng found two second-grade ingredients and put them in the grill. The two fish were quickly processed by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng cut out the fish head and cooked a pot of fish head soup. The two fish gods were put on the grill at the same time.
Gu Zheng's choice of ingredients was very accurate. In a short while, a strong smell of fish floated out.
"Meow!"
While grilling the fish, Gu Zheng's body trembled slightly. He immediately turned his head. The white cat from yesterday had appeared again and was walking over leisurely.
The white cat walked to a place about three meters in front of Gu Zheng and lay on the ground. Its eyes were fixed on the fish that Gu Zheng was grilling.
"Is there an end to it? Why is it here again? I'll chase it away!"
Seeing the white cat appear, Changfeng was also stunned for a moment. Then, he shouted angrily. He did not know how powerful the white cat was, so he was not afraid. However, he could not understand Gu Zheng's attitude towards the white cat.
"Don't, don't move!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly stopped Changfeng. What a joke! This was a descendant of an ancient mythological beast whose strength was far beyond theirs. It was not clear who would chase who away.
"Forget it, it just wants to eat. We'll just give it to it later. If it's not enough, we'll grill it again!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and said. It was different from the first day. On the first day, Gu Zheng was very scared. On the second day, he was only worried. On the third day, Gu Zheng was already used to it.
Anyway, the white cat did not have any evil intentions. It just wanted to eat. If it wanted to eat, then Gu Zheng had a way to satisfy it. As long as it obediently ate and left, everything would be fine.
They could not afford to offend it, but they could not hide from it either. Then, they would serve it.
Gu Zheng's grilled fish was soon done. Under the control of the Water Control Art and the Fire Control Art, the grilled fish was very successful. There was not a single spot that was burnt. Even the fish skin had a layer of golden light. The aroma of the grilled fish was different from that of the roasted meat. The fish itself was very tender. Without the fishy smell, the fish was more attractive.
"Meow!"
As soon as the grilled fish was placed, the white cat jumped over. For it, the grilled fish seemed to be more attractive than the roasted meat.
One fish was quickly eaten by the white cat. The other fish was also eaten by it. After eating, it licked its mouth leisurely. However, this time, it did not leave. Instead, it went to the lake and waved its paws in the water. Two fish jumped out of the lake and landed on the ground, constantly rolling.
It looked at the two fish and then looked at Gu Zheng. Only then did it slowly walk away.
"This cat has become a spirit. This, this, how did it get the fish out?"
Changfeng was extremely shocked. He ran to the two fish. These two fish were bigger than the two that Gu Zheng caught just now. The kitten just waved its paws in the lake and the two fish flew out. If he did not see it with his own eyes, Changfeng would not dare to believe it.
"This cat is not ordinary. Don't worry about how it did it. It has no evil intentions. I will continue to grill. Let's eat and leave tomorrow morning!"
Gu Zheng sighed softly. The white cat did have no evil intentions. Today, after eating their fish, it caught two more for them. However, Gu Zheng saw that the white cat's action of catching fish was very skillful. Could it be that it often came here to catch fish?
This was not impossible. However, was the white cat's territory in another place, far away from here?
Gu Zheng shook his head again. He did not understand why the white cat would follow them. If he did not understand, he would not think about it. Anyway, they would leave tomorrow and have nothing to do with the white cat.
