PS: Ask for clicks and recommendations!
The weakened Gu Zichen was like a dead dog, lying on the hard mountain wall, panting incessantly. Suddenly, a small furry head met Gu Zichen's eyes, with big watery eyes and a look of curiosity, looking at him.
One man and one beast confronted each other for a minute, and the little white beast, driven by curiosity, took two steps forward, stretched out its young forelimbs, and pulled out Gu Zichen's hand, two pairs of lovely eyes, staring at Gu Zichen all the time, with natural vigilance in cowardice.
The exhausted Gu Zichen squeezed out the strength of his whole body, and just as he was about to say something, the little white beast, as if he was alert, suddenly jumped back two steps, and opened a distance of one zhang from Gu Zichen, the two forelimbs of the little beast were lying on the ground, and the two pairs of big eyes showed incomprehension, and they had been facing Gu Zichen.
Gu Zichen smiled bitterly, he wanted to wrap this young Philip around, and when the adult Philip came back, he would have something to rely on, but he didn't expect that although the little beast was ignorant, he was extremely vigilant and didn't eat Gu Zichen's plan at all.
Gu Zichen kept smiling, revealing the most charitable complexion, whistling to the little beast, the little beast's two cute ears kept shaking, as if he liked Gu Zichen's teasing very much, but he kept lying on the spot, quietly watching Gu Zichen's solo performance.
Gu Zichen recovered his strength a little and found that Philip had not confiscated his storage bag.
Looking at the little beast who had not been fooled, he suddenly looked happy and took out a round ball from the storage bag, which was not big, like the size of a tennis ball. Gu Zichen deliberately shook a few times in the air, pushed along the cave ground, and with a slight push, the ball rolled straight towards the little beast.
The little beast originally stared at two big round and dark eyes, revealing a curious look, and when he saw the ball running towards him, he seemed to be greatly frightened, and jumped half a meter high, squeaked a few times, and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Zichen only discovered at this time that it turned out that there was a small circular doorway behind the little beast, which was connected to the outside. Gu Zichen looked at the empty cave mansion without any disappointment, and still looked at the circular door with a look of hope on his face.
Sure enough, after a while, the little beast's forelimbs lay on the edge of the doorway, revealing a cute head, and its two eyes were endlessly curious, looking at Gu Zichen, and then turning his gaze to the round ball not far away, hesitating.
Gu Zichen didn't dare to make any moves, just lying on the cold ground of the cave, looking at the little beast with two big eyes open.
The little beast waited for a while, tiptoed, turned back step by step, and walked gently towards the round ball, his two eyes were full of vigilance, looking at Gu Zichen, who had not moved, the little beast suddenly ran to the side of the round ball, holding the round ball, and his body suddenly turned around and retreated, and the whole action was smooth.
In the blink of an eye, the little beast was contented with the ball, and had retreated behind the circular doorway.
The little beast and Gu Zichen were separated by a distance of three zhang, this distance seemed to make the little beast feel very safe, but he didn't put much energy on Gu Zichen, and focused most of his attention on the rare ball, the two furry forelimbs, lying on the ball, kept rolling, and on the little face, showed an innocent smile.
Gu Zichen waited for a while, then took out an identical round ball from the storage bag, held it in one hand, and deliberately shook it in the air a few times, which really attracted the attention of the little beast again, and then, under the gaze of the little beast, rolled towards the little beast again.
However, the distance of this roll is a little close to Gu Zichen, but it is still an acceptable distance for the little beast.
The little beast hid the previous ball behind the circular doorway, and the little face showed a sense of struggle, but driven by curiosity, again, tiptoed towards the ball.
Gu Zichen was still lying on the ground honestly, but his eyes kept staring at the little beast, and his body didn't have any intention of moving.
After the little beast quickly got the ball again, its body shook quickly, and it returned to the circular doorway, holding the ball on its forelimbs, and its two cute big eyes, as if revealing a puzzled look, looking at Gu Zichen lying on the ground.
However, the sense of vigilance was slightly reduced, revealing a look of intimacy.
Gu Zichen immediately responded with a smile and nodded to the little beast. The little beast squeaked twice, then lowered its head and fiddled with the two balls.
Gu Zichen waited for a while, then took out a small ball from the storage bag, and after attracting the attention of the little beast, he suddenly threw it at the little beast, not far away, not close, and landed right in front of the little beast.
The little beast involuntarily took the ball, jumped in place a few times, squeaked excitedly from its mouth, and looked at Gu Zichen with two eyes full of hope.
Gu Zichen really lived up to the little beast's hopes, and continued to throw the ball at the little beast, but the force of the throw seemed to be insufficient, and the little beast jumped forward twice before receiving the ball.
At this time, Gu Zichen no longer gave the little beast any time to think, and kept throwing the ball, but it was getting closer and closer to him.
The little beast was overjoyed, happily taking one ball after another, not noticing at all that it was less than two meters away from Gu Zichen.
When the last ball was thrown, the little beast was already only half a meter away from Gu Zichen, Gu Zichen had already gathered enough strength, and when the little beast jumped up and was engrossed in the game of catching the ball, he pounced forward, and the two big hands grabbed the little beast directly.
Gu Zichen's posture of rushing away led to a series of wind sounds, which instantly awakened the vigilance of the little beast, and the little beast's two big eyes were bright, looking at Gu Zichen who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly let out a terrible scream from his mouth, and the scream was as thin as silk, as if it was precisely guided, and it drilled into Gu Zichen's ears.
For some reason, when Gu Zichen's scream sounded, his whole body suddenly lost any strength, and the originally planned distance, his body seemed to be aggravated, and he suddenly fell, lying on the cold cave ground, his hands empty.
Gu Zichen ignored the pain, looked forward, and found that the little beast didn't know what kind of means was used, and had retreated back to the circular doorway, his two eyes were full of vigilance, and he stared at Gu Zichen fiercely, as if he had been greatly wronged, lying on the ground, and unconsciously, tears actually fell.
Gu Zichen was at a loss for a while, lying on the hard floor, watching the little beast curl up aggrievedly, his eyes were full of tears.
Gu Zichen actually had a sense of bullying children, and began to hate himself.
For a while, Gu Zichen lay quietly on the floor, looking at the little beast in the distance, one person and one beast just looked at each other, passing the rest of the time.
Gu Zichen also found that he had completely failed to use the little beast to threaten Philip's mind, and honestly waited for Philip's arrival.
For most of the day, Gu Zichen didn't know what happened to Philip, he couldn't lift any mana at all, and he became an ordinary person without any cultivation, and was cold by the cold air on the ground for a while, and hurriedly found a remote corner, leaning on the cave and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the little beast stood up and ran out, its whole body full of joy. Gu Zichen was still calm as usual, knowing that what should come should always come.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Zichen saw Philip on both sides, appearing near the circular doorway, but to Gu Zichen's surprise, Philip was wilted, white and smooth hair was messily attached to his body, and there were dozens of cuts of different shades on his entire body, and some wounds were still bubbling blood.
The little beast's two big eyes were full of tears, like a child who had lost its parents, full of helplessness, and two young forelimbs, pulling Philip's body, followed by steps, indescribable sadness.
Philip was about two feet away from Gu Zichen, attached to the ground, took out some unknown things from Gu Zichen, fed them indiscriminately into his mouth, and then used his tongue to comb the messy hair, as if there was endless sorrow in his eyes.
The little beast stopped crying and came to Philip's side, learning from Philip's appearance, and taking care of Philip's hair very seriously, but it was obviously not skilled, but the more he helped, the more messy the hair became.
Philip looked at the little beast's busy posture with pity, her eyes were full of endless maternal love, she brought the little beast to her side, licked the tears left by the little beast with her tongue, looked at it for a long time, and turned her head to look at Gu Zichen.
