Chapter Nineteenth: Obtaining the Mysterious Small Knife

  It's already noon now.

  The warm sunshine of autumn shines in the sky, under the tree is a cool shade, not far away, the gurgling mountain stream is flowing, several colorful butterflies fly back and forth.

  A two-foot-tall black mountain goat living in the mountain forest was walking along the sandy edge when a double-headed sand snake suddenly darted out. Its body slid extremely fast on the sand, and in an instant, it had already charged out of the quicksand area towards the black mountain goat. The black mountain goat reacted quickly and raised its pair of horns to fiercely collide with the double-headed sand snake. However, the double-headed sand snake did not dodge or evade and allowed itself to be hit by the goat's horns, but due to the protection of its dark scales, it was basically unharmed. The black mountain goat panicked and tried to run away, but as an ordinary animal, it was no match for the double-headed sand snake, which was one of the strongest first-class demonic beasts. One of the snake heads bit down on the black mountain goat's body, and although it tried to struggle, it was unable to withstand the powerful force of the double-headed black snake. At the same time, the other snake head also bit down.

  It's fiercely predating over here, just like watching Animal Planet on TV in a past life on Earth.

  However, compared to the Animal World program I watched in my previous life, this one is much more intense. In my previous life, the Animal World program couldn't even show a creature like the two-headed sand snake.

  Gǔ Chāo was thinking to himself, his body had long been sitting on the super-large slingshot. Seeing that the hunting was proceeding most fiercely on this side, Gǔ Chāo didn't hesitate for a moment and instantly untied the knot of the rope. Almost in an instant, Gǔ Chāo only felt two huge forces heavily hitting his back, which hurt so much. Gǔ Chāo naturally knew that these two huge forces were the rebound force of the bent bamboo. Since he had pressed the bamboo very hard at first, now these two rebound forces were also terribly large. Gǔ Chāo only felt that this force had shot himself into mid-air, although he hadn't had a chance to practice qinggong (light skill) yet, but he also had a chance to experience the feeling of flying in the air. In the future, if there's an opportunity, he must cultivate his qinggong, being able to fly in the sky has always been his dream. In his past life on Earth, he had longed to fly, but that was just a dream. But in this world, it was real, and all these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

  Because he had already calculated the approximate trajectory of the parabola, this time it fell not too far from the black dagger. Gu Chao made a mistake and got the black dagger in his hand, as soon as he got the black dagger in his hand, he felt a mysterious feeling, as if there was an intention to rush into his mind, indeed it was a treasure, this adventure was worth it.

  Gu Chao had a strong urge to study this mysterious little knife that was dark and emitted a purple glow, but now was not the time.

  In the distance, the two-headed sand snake saw its treasure being stolen. The two heads and four snake eyes all turned blood red. With a hiss, the two snake heads spat out their venom, not knowing how long it would take. At this moment, it didn't care about the black mountain goat that had just fallen into its hands. It loosened its tongue, turned its tail, and suddenly pounced in Gu Chao's direction, wanting to devour him. The black mountain goat naturally escaped as far as it could.

  At this time, the double-headed sand snake pounced on Gu Chao, its speed extremely fast. If Gu Chao ran normally in the sandy ground, it would be impossible to outrun its pursuit. After all, this piece of sandy terrain was very soft, and the sandy area was prone to trapping people's feet, making it difficult to run quickly.

  However, Gu Chao was also well-prepared and immediately put on his skateboard that he had prepared earlier. Let's go, skateboard!

  That's right, the special skateboard is for sand sliding.

  With both hands exerting force, the slide was pushed back and slid forward, flying straight ahead. With a whoosh, it sped down all the way, its speed on the sandy ground far surpassing Gu Cha's own running speed on sand. It kicked up tiny sand waves swirling wildly around it. Although this speed couldn't compare to flying in the sky, it was still extremely fast.

  Moreover, Gu Chao's skateboarding this time was much more exciting than in his previous life. In his previous life, he only played ordinary skateboard, but this time it was a game of life and death with the double-headed sand snake, himself escaping in front and the double-headed sand snake chasing behind, which was truly thrilling to the point of being dizzy, Gu Chao only felt that the hot blood in his body was also surging.

  But Gu Chao was extremely fast, and the Double-Headed Sand Snake was even faster. The Double-Headed Sand Snake's speed on sand was almost invincible!

  Double-headed sand snake is eight feet ahead of Gu Chao, and it's clear that the double-headed sand snake is a bit faster than Gu Chao on his skateboard.

  It's seven zhang short.

  It's just six feet away.

  It's just five zhang away.

  It's just three zhang away, getting closer and closer, at this time Gu Chao can already feel the fishy wind behind him.

  It's just a matter of two zhangs now. The double-headed sand snake secretly thought to itself, I must thoroughly devour this detestable human.

  It was just a zhang away, and the double-headed sand snake's distance from Gu Chao was frighteningly close.

  It was only half a zhang away, and Gu Chao saw that he could no longer escape the double-headed sand snake's poisonous claws. At this moment, Gu Chao suddenly jumped up and plunged into the mountain stream with a splash, instantly soaking his entire body in icy cold water. Although Gu Chao was still on guard, he saw the double-headed sand snake roaring angrily on the shore, thrashing its tail but not daring to enter the water. He couldn't help but let his guard down, everything just as it said in "Yao Shou Tu Jian" Volume 1: Double-headed sand snakes are afraid of water and cannot swim.

  Haha, I won myself!

  In the mountain stream, he tightly grasped the half-black dagger in his hand, Gu Chao understood that he had won the gamble! This black dagger finally fell into his own hands.

  ……

  Actually, Gu Chao's method wasn't too complicated, but it was quite ingenious.

  The Double-Headed Sand Snake only leaves for a short while when hunting, and can return at any time. In order to seize the opportunity without attracting the attention of the Double-Headed Sand Snake, Gu Chao thought of using a super-large slingshot, descending from the sky, so that the Double-Headed Sand Snake would only counterattack when he had obtained half of the small knife.

  Secondly, when the Double-headed Sand Snake turned around to make a swift pounce, Gu Chao utilized his specially-made skateboard to leave, which was much faster than running on the sandy ground that was easy to get stuck in.

  Of course, these two points are not enough. Gu Chao had already observed the terrain and knew from the "Monster Beast Atlas Volume 1" that the double-headed sand snake was afraid of water, so he had already chosen his escape route. There is a mountain stream next to him, and Gu Chao had planned to use it to escape. Combining these three points formed Gu Chao's battle plan. If the stream was too shallow, going downstream would cause serious injury from hitting rocks at the bottom of the stream, so Gu Chao had also measured the depth of the mountain stream in advance. The stream is about 1.5 meters wide and several feet deep, with a moderate slope, and should be safe.

  These three points are not easy to think of, and being able to come up with these three points in a very short period of time is indeed a brilliant idea. Especially the two points of custom-made giant slingshot and custom-made skateboard, they are full of wisdom and wit, it's the wisdom accumulated from past life to this life. If someone sees Gu Chao's battle plan, I'm afraid they can't help but praise him as "brilliant".

  Not just clever, but clever to the extreme.

  "Goodbye, Double-headed Sand Snake. I won't see you off, haha!" Gu Chao waved his hand casually and felt extremely pleased after obtaining the mysterious dagger.

  Treasures, these are treasures, each treasure has a legend.

  It's finally your turn to get treasure, this is fate, this is good luck!

  Hahaha!

  Gu Chao is too happy now!

  Next, play the ultimate rafting and drift down along the mountain stream.

  Drifting, then drift freely.

  It's so cool! When going with the flow, Gu Chao had only one feeling, cool!

  The mountain peak is so high that the gravitational potential energy must be quite terrifying, but the stream is so wide and large that there must be a river or lake in the downstream area, it's either one of them. With rivers or lakes, there will be buffers to cushion such terrible gravitational potential energy. Gu Chao actually had all these figured out before taking action.

  "Hiss!"

  "Hiss!" The two heads of the Double-headed Sand Snake spat out their forked tongues, and it swung its glossy black tail with scales back and forth, slapping the ground by the riverbank. It was furious that its precious little black knife had been taken away by a human. If it got another chance, it would definitely kill this human. It even chased after Gu Cha along the mountain stream, but soon it was blocked by another demon beast - an Iron-backed Ape, one of the two overlords of the Mingxia Peak, the other being the Double-headed Sand Snake.

  Ironback Ape is the strongest among the first-class demons, with a combat power of seven layers in the acquired realm. When the Double-headed Sand Snake chased after it, it had already entered the territory of this Ironback Ape. Territory is very important to demons, and the Ironback Ape naturally counterattacked. The Ironback Ape stared coldly at the Double-headed Sand Snake for a while, thinking that it despised its authority, and launched a swift attack like lightning. Its claws were extremely sharp, and the Ironback Ape was agile with a body as hard as iron. It was not easy for the Double-headed Sand Snake to bite in, of course, nor was it easy for the Ironback Ape to defeat the Double-headed Sand Snake. The two demons engaged in a fierce battle in the forest.

  Rumbling sounds, countless trees fell down due to the great battle between these two demonic beasts.

  "Hmm, the protagonist finally got the Golden Finger, la la la, la la la, my protagonist has a Golden Finger now, asking for recommendation votes."
