Chapter 15: Luck Grows

The grilled fish that was full of burnt aroma and blended with mellow honey and jumping off the mountain pepper quickly became hot in the stomach, just for this delicious mouthful, Chu Lan felt that the fright of accidentally falling to the ground from the treetops several feet high just now was nothing.

It was quiet and deep outside, and in the night that was getting thicker, this bonfire lit up the small open space by the stream, and the little girl's face was red by the bonfire, and the light of the fire made her eyes look bright and crystalline.

There were no large beasts in the mountain, and in the dark night, at most, a few mountain foxes or owls wandered by carelessly, but the aroma of food was irresistible to all species, and dark shadows flowed through the grass, gradually approaching the girl who was baking food.

One of the sources of this stream is the hot spring in the hot spring cave where Chu Lan lives, of course, after flowing down to the valley, the spring water is already cold, and because it brings together other clear and pure water sources, a lot of dilution of the water quality of the hot spring, so there is no sulfur smell in the stream at all.

The pungent aroma of grilled fish permeated up and down the waterfront, attracting unknown carnivorous beasts, but because they were instinctively afraid of flames, they didn't dare to approach Chu Lan, so they could only snort silently one by one.

The burnt and crispy fish roasted on the fire, and the bag of lubricated and tender fish inside was eaten clean by Chu Lan, she weighed the remaining fish bones, and suddenly threw the bones away with childlike innocence.

The nearest bobcats whimpered and fled when they saw her waving their arms, and after a while, they found that the "behemoth" that could manipulate the flames had no intention of chasing them, and they leaned over one by one, and without hesitation, they grabbed the fish bones that still had residual warmth, and then scattered one by one.

Chu Lan looked at their appearance, chuckled, and then threw the tail of the fish, which was still slightly shredded, into the distance, and the black shadows of the small beasts scurried around, and they were all happy to compete in the distance.

The bonfire gradually went out, Chu Lan took water to extinguish the remaining flames, and then walked to the hot spring cave halfway up the mountain with satisfaction.

Although it was the height of summer, it was still very cold at night in the mountains, and her coat was taken off in the cave, so she naturally had to go back to her "home" to relax at night.

In the past, Chu Lan would slip up, walk directly along the creek and find the hot spring cave without distraction, but today because she was very comfortable eating, she walked very slowly.

And the bobcat, wild raccoon and other small beasts that had just snatched the delicious fish bones quietly followed her from a distance, as if they were still waiting for her to eat.

"No," Chu Lan said in a loud voice without looking back, "Please be early tomorrow." ”

There was a sound of rustling in the grass behind him, and those little beasts naturally couldn't understand human words, and they were still reluctantly embellished with Chu Lan, who was full of fish fragrance.

At this moment, a certain bobcat that grabbed the largest fish bone, the fish head, at the beginning, suddenly accelerated and overtook the other small beasts, and was the first to approach Chu Lan.

Although Chu Lan has a casual attitude, she has always been vigilant in her heart, especially after she has been tempered and improved by the "Five-color True Body Forging Method" and "Five-color True Soul Nourishing Method" and "Otogi Trick Notes", her sense of hearing, vision, and smell have been greatly improved, especially Otogi's main liver and vision, her night vision ability is getting stronger and stronger, and there is not much difficulty in seeing things at night.

Hearing the sound of squirming closer, Chu Lan quickly lowered her head and turned around, and found that a two-foot-tall bobcat was about to sneak close to her, but she was so frightened by her sudden turn that she raised its paws and froze in place.

Chu Lan chuckled, although she had killed a few bobcats, but livestock and poultry did not know how to sum up experience, and the new bobcats might not be afraid of her, and even had the intention of killing and eating her two-foot-tall children...... It's not impossible.

Chu Lan glanced at the big lynx, and calmly turned her head, but she was very vigilant in her heart, if that livestock and poultry really wanted to hunt her, she would have to turn around and give it for a while.

To Chu Lan's surprise, the big lynx saw her turn around, but did not take the opportunity to sneak attack from behind, but sped up its pace with four paws, brushed it to the front of Chu Lan, and after trotting forward a few steps, it deliberately looked back at Chu Lan.

"Huh?" Chu Lan said to herself, "What does this mean?"

After trotting a few steps forward, the big lynx looked back at Chu Lan again.

Chu Lan suddenly came to his senses: "This is to show me the way, where to go?"

According to Chu Lan's thoughts, even if this lynx becomes proficient in spirits, she may not be able to think of a way to push her into any trap - she has been going back and forth countless times on this mountain, and she has basically turned all over the place, there is definitely no trap, although there is one cliff, but it is not the direction in which this lynx is going.

So, does this little beast really want to lure her somewhere instead of plotting against her and assassinating her?

Chu Lan, who had begun to develop confidence in his current skills, followed the lynx leisurely, quickly avoiding the thorns that stretched around in the night, jumping over the rabbit hole hidden in the grass, bypassing the old tree roots that were enough to trip over people, and following the lynx farther and farther.

The other little beasts that had been following her had quietly left at some point, only to hear the sound of the nearby wind blowing the leaves and the faint night wind flowing.

Unconsciously, after walking for more than half an hour in the dark night, Chu Lan walked for a while only to find that his luck seemed to have increased a little bit, and he would not encounter mountain ghosts as soon as he came out at night, or be attacked by some unknown evil thing for no reason, and even the food around him was much easier to search.

Is it because she has the identity of "God's favored daughter", or is there something in this mountain that is secretly helping her?

Chu Lan tilted his head and thought about it, and finally decided to let it go, no matter how bad it was, it was just a "demon" and was chased and killed by the mountain people.
