Gu Ran also thought of this doubt, and he was also confused.
"It seems that I can only wait and see if I will have the chance to ask her when I meet her in the future." Gu Ran thought to himself.
Intuitively, he didn't believe that Leng Feng would do anything bad to him, and there might be some hidden story behind this.
"Or maybe I was really dead at that time?"
Gu Ran murmured.
roar!
Suddenly, a beast roared from the grove.
Gu Ran's face changed and he quickly turned around to look behind him.
A bear with brown and gray fur slowly walked towards the river.
Not a ferocious beast.
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. From the fact that the bear's eyes were not blood red and its body shape had not changed at all, it was clear that it was just an ordinary wild bear.
Ferocious beasts are wild beasts transformed after some kind of stimulation, but humans have not yet figured out what causes this stimulation and change.
But then, Gu Ran remembered.
In the current state of his body, it seemed that he couldn't even defeat an ordinary bear.
Is it really going to die this time
67. I’ll just call you “Little Conch”
The brown bear was walking leisurely towards the river. Suddenly, it stopped and sniffed the clothes hanging on the branches in confusion.
Gu Ran looked around. Behind him was a rushing river, and in front of him was a grove covered with vines and thorns. The only path that looked like a road and was relatively passable was the one where the brown bear was. Gu Ran had also entered from here before to collect wild fruits.
If he ran along the river beach at this time, not only would it be muddy and difficult to walk, but he would also be easily discovered by a brown bear.
If he went into the water, not to mention that he had wounds on his body and could not get into the water, you know, bears can also swim.
If he did nothing and stayed where he was, the brown bear would be heading towards him.
No matter what, he would be discovered by the brown bear sooner or later.
"If you had come one day earlier, I would have been your food." Gu Ran took a deep breath, picked up the branch he used as a crutch yesterday, and prepared to give it a try.
Even if he died, he didn't want to die without any effort at this moment.
“Mmmmm—”
Just then, Gu Ran saw the little mermaid waving at him anxiously, and then pointing at the river.
"Are you asking me to get into the water?"
Gu Ran understood what she meant, but did not take any immediate action.
If the brown bear really wanted to treat him as prey, going into the water would only delay his death.
Moreover, he was even less able to move in the water. He might not even be able to fight back, and would be directly pushed into the water and drowned by the brown bear.
Seeing Gu Ran still standing there blankly, the little mermaid became even more anxious, and she couldn't help but swim a little closer to Gu Ran.
A huge pink bubble appeared out of thin air in front of the little mermaid, and she gestured to Gu Ran with her finger.
"You want me to walk into this bubble?"
Seeing the little mermaid nodded, Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
Anyway, he has no other choice, so he might as well try the little mermaid's method. Maybe she has some magical powers that he doesn't know about.
When Gu Ran walked into the pink bubble, the bubble immediately wrapped around his whole body.
What surprised Gu Ran was that the pink bubble did not burst. Even when he waved his hand, the bubble only bulged out a little, and when he retracted his arm, the bubble immediately returned to its original shape.
The little mermaid smiled happily when she saw Gu Ran listened to her and walked into the pink bubble.
Then she pointed to the river.
"Do you mean for me to go into the water?" This time Gu Ran did not hesitate and walked directly into the river.
When Gu Ran entered the river, he found that due to the barrier of bubbles, the river water could not touch his skin.
As Gu Ran walked deeper into the river, he discovered that this pink bubble could not only help him avoid water, but also seemed to allow him to breathe in the water.
He tried to dive into the river and he could still breathe freely. He could also see freely because of the barrier of bubbles.
"As expected of the mermaid clan, this method is truly magical." Gu Ran gave the little mermaid a thumbs up.
The little mermaid smiled shyly and her cheeks turned pink.
Gu Ran followed the little mermaid to a large rock on the other side of the river and hid behind it together.
It seemed that because the situation was critical, the little mermaid did not move away from Gu Ran as she did before. The distance between the two was only a little over one meter. Gu Ran could even see her small and cute earlobes and her smooth pink shoulders.
However, Gu Ran just glanced at her and then looked away. He didn't want to offend her.
The little mermaid glanced at Gu Ran and saw that he was quiet and didn't make any unnecessary movements. She couldn't help but relax a lot more.
After sniffing the clothes that Gu Ran was hanging out to dry, the brown bear was confused, but didn't pay much attention to it. It slowly walked to the river and drank water.
After drinking enough water, the brown bear did not leave immediately, but fell asleep on the stone where Gu Ran had been lying before, obviously with no intention of leaving immediately.
When Gu Ran saw the brown bear occupying his "bed", he had no idea what to do and could only wait here quietly.
Because the two people were very close to each other, Gu Ran could even catch a glimpse of the little mermaid's slightly rising and falling chest.
Gu Ran coughed slightly and said, "Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I would have become that bear's lunch. And thank you for catching the fish for me yesterday. It helped me a lot."
The little mermaid shook her head and repeated the eating movements she had taught Gu Ran before, and then Gu Ran taught her, and smiled slightly.
"Oh... ... you mean you don't have to thank me, I also gave you a gift, right?" Gu Ran guessed what the little mermaid meant.
The little mermaid nodded.
For some reason, Gu Ran suddenly became nervous when he saw the little mermaid, whose beauty seemed like she came out of a fairy tale.
Even when he was fighting against many A-level and S-level psychics, he did not feel this kind of tension.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Gu Ran, what's yours?" Gu Ran said for the sake of conversation.
Seeing the little mermaid looking at him with her pink eyes wide open but not saying anything, Gu Ran slapped his head and came to his senses: "Oh, I forgot you can't speak."
Gu Ran was a little annoyed. Why was she so confused today? She was not a devil, just an ordinary mermaid.
"How about I help you pick a name, otherwise it will be difficult for me to call you that." Gu Ran looked at the conch pendant on her neck, "How about I call you 'Little Conch' from now on?"
The little mermaid frowned slightly and shook her head.
"Are you not satisfied? How about I call you 'Mmm'?" Gu Ran remembered that the little mermaid had used the humming sound to attract his attention before, and couldn't help but joked.
The little mermaid had a confused expression on her face, and she didn't seem to understand what "wuwuguai" meant.
But when she saw the playful expression on Gu Ran's face, she immediately knew Gu Ran's "sinister intentions".
She puffed up her pretty face in anger, and then glared at him with her beautiful pink eyes.
"Ah, I can't think of any other name." Gu Ran said distressedly, "We are already friends, right? Friends should always have a name to address each other. I can't call you 'Hey' in the future."
Gu Ran, who was not good at naming, asked tentatively, "How about I call myself 'Little Conch'? You have a conch necklace around your neck, which means you like conchs, too. Besides, this name sounds nice and easy to remember. I think it's actually a good name."
The little mermaid frowned slightly and thought for a moment. With the name "Wuwuguai" proving Gu Ran's ability in naming, she finally nodded reluctantly.
68. Gu Ran’s Dantian is ruined
Since that time together, the relationship between the two has made rapid progress.
Gu Ran called the little mermaid "little conch", and the little mermaid would say "wuwu" when she wanted to call Gu Ran.
After realizing that he was a neighbor of a bear, Gu Ran found a new place for himself as a temporary residence.
"Here, little conch." Gu Ran on the shore smiled and handed a ripe wild fruit that seemed to be dripping with juice into the water, "Eat this, it's not sour."
The little mermaid, no, maybe she should be called the little conch now - the little conch took the fruit from Gu Ran's hand, still tasting it carefully as before, half-closing her eyes happily, her eyes crescent-shaped.
Of course, it is impossible for all wild fruits to be delicious. For example, some of the wild fruits that Gu Ran picked before were very sour. After the little snail ate them, it almost chased Gu Ran and hit him with its little pink fists.
Only after Gu Ran promised to "test the poison on himself" next time did Little Conch let him go and no longer glared at him with a puffy face.
After eating wild fruits and small fish caught by the little conch for several days in a row, although Gu Ran felt that his mouth was about to become tasteless, he was surprised that his body had recovered quite well.
He removed his bandages and checked the wound on his chest. It had completely scabbed over and his skin was gradually turning a healthy blood red.
"Strange, my physique is actually so good?"
Gu Ran suddenly had an idea.
He no longer has his supernatural powers, but can he practice martial arts
However, the martial arts techniques of any sect are not passed on to outsiders. Even though Gu Ran browsed the library of St. John's University, he only read some basic martial arts techniques.
But having something is better than having nothing. Even if practicing martial arts cannot reach your original strength, it is good to strengthen your body.
So after eating his "breakfast" that day, Gu Ran did not lie down or make love with Xiao Hai. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, with his five hearts facing upward, practicing breathing techniques, inhaling and exhaling vital energy.
