Chapter 20: Forging Sharp Tools

Due to the shock, Xu Qing was standing directly in the hot spring pool.

This hot spring wasn't very big, and its depth was naturally limited, only reaching Xu Qing's knees. Therefore, Xu Qing was now almost completely exposed standing in front of Chu Yang.

Chu Yang stood at the edge of the hot spring and saw this scene. His whole body was like being electrocuted, stunned and frozen in place.

Now it wasn't only Chu Yang who was stunned. After Xu Qing saw Chu Yang's reaction, she finally realized in an instant that she was completely naked.

"Swoosh!" Xu Qing blushed deeply, completely panicked.

"Ah!" The next moment, Xu Qing shouted in horror again, her voice even louder than before.

Then, with her hands not knowing what to do, she covered her private parts and crouched down in the hot spring water.

Her head was also lowered all the time, not daring to look at Chu Yang.

Now Xu Qing wished she could find a hole to crawl into directly.

Her body had been seen completely by a man, and this man was someone she had just met a few days ago.

She also knew that Chu Yang didn't mean it. Through getting along with Chu Yang these days, she also knew that Chu Yang wasn't a bad person, but Xu Qing still couldn't accept it.

"Xu Qing, what's wrong with you?" Liu Qing also arrived at this time. Hearing Xu Qing's shout again, she hurriedly asked.

"Did you see some wild beast?" Chu Yang also woke up and asked Xu Qing.

Although Chu Yang's head was still muddled because of what had just happened, fortunately, Chu Yang was quite strong-willed and looked as if nothing had happened on the surface.

"I, I don't know either, but just now I found that there seemed to be something in the grass on the right!" Xu Qing pointed to the position on her right side and said.

The gazes of Chu Yang and Liu Qing immediately turned in the direction pointed by Xu Qing.

"Rustling..." Sure enough, there was quite a commotion in the grass in the direction pointed by Xu Qing, and the surrounding weeds also swayed along.

"There really is something!" Seeing this, Liu Qing's face couldn't help but change, and she couldn't help but step back a few steps and hide behind Chu Yang.

Liu Qing was still haunted by the encounter with the red-and-white python last time.

Moreover, since they could encounter such a big python, it wouldn't be strange to encounter other wild beasts in this dense forest.

"Please don't let it be any fierce wild beast!" Liu Qing prayed silently in her heart.

Chu Yang's heart also tightened, and his gaze was tightly fixed on the grass with movement. His whole body was tense.

He secretly thought about what to do if he really encountered a fierce wild beast.

After about half a minute, a white shadow emerged from the grass.

Looking carefully, this white shadow was a wild goat.

After the wild goat emerged from the grass and saw Chu Yang and the others, it fled in a panic.

The hearts of the three of them were immediately relieved.

"It's just a goat!" Chu Yang sighed in relief.

"Yes, it's fortunate that it's just a goat. If it were some other fierce wild beast, we would be in danger," Liu Qing said with lingering fear.

Xu Qing in the hot spring water also clearly breathed a sigh of relief, her face somewhat embarrassed. She was actually scared by a wild goat.

But the next second, Liu Qing's face blushed deeply again.

"Can you guys turn around first? I'll dress first," Xu Qing said in a low voice, both ashamed and anxious. Thinking about what had just happened, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Liu Qing didn't know what had just happened and thought Xu Qing was just embarrassed because she wasn't wearing clothes. She nodded and turned around.

Chu Yang also turned around and returned to the place seven or eight meters away.

Looking at the location of the hot spring, Chu Yang couldn't help swallowing.

The scene just now was simply too exciting.

Unconsciously, the image of Xu Qing's graceful figure, delicate willow-like form, and private parts emerged in his mind. Chu Yang's nose warmed, and he started bleeding from the nose.

"Huh? Nosebleed!" Chu Yang wiped it with his hand, quickly wiped the nosebleed, took several deep breaths, and calmed his wandering thoughts before stopping the nosebleed.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

The setting sun, night began to fall.

Xu Qing had dressed and came out of the hot spring with Liu Qing.

Xu Qing was wearing a set of beige casual clothes. Although they were a bit loose, they still couldn't hide Xu Qing's exquisite body curves.

"Chu Yang, do you want to take a bath? Xu Qing and I will keep watch for you," Liu Qing asked Chu Yang.

Xu Qing beside her lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chu Yang.

"No need. It's getting late. Let's go back to the valley first," Chu Yang shook his head.

It wasn't that Chu Yang didn't want to take a bath. He had been feeling uncomfortable all over these days, but night was about to fall, and he didn't know what dangers there were in this dense forest at night.

For safety reasons, Chu Yang thought it was better to give up.

Besides, now he could go directly to the seaside to bathe besides the hot spring.

The three began to return along the same route.

On the way back, Xu Qing kept her head down all the time, silent, and intentionally or unintentionally kept a certain distance from Chu Yang.

After leaving the dense forest, Liu Qing seemed to notice something was wrong with Xu Qing and hurriedly asked with concern, "Xu Qing, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm just still thinking about the wild goat just now," Xu Qing hurriedly replied.

Liu Qing nodded and didn't ask anything more.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Qing didn't notice anything. She was also somewhat lucky in her heart. Fortunately, Liu Qing had arrived a step late. Otherwise, the scene that had just passed would have been witnessed by her.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yang and the other two returned to the valley.

"I'm hungry!" Jolin sat outside the small cave, looking at Chu Yang and the other three who had just returned with an unhappy face. Her rich girl temperament flared up again.

It was unclear whether it was because she hadn't been taken to the hot spring just now or something else.

Since their food was temporarily only the big python and the wild goat, with only some wild fruits left, Liu Qing took the initiative to go to the seaside to see if there were any fish, shrimp, or shells.

Xu Qing also followed. Now being alone with Chu Yang, she was extremely at a loss in her heart.

Chu Yang shook his head and then found the two iron sheets again and started to get busy on his own.

In order to eat meat tonight, it depended on whether these two iron sheets could be made into sharp tools.

Moreover, Chu Yang now also needed a sharp-edged weapon for self-defense.

Forging sharp tools naturally required a high temperature. Chu Yang dug a hole beside the cave, then lit a pile of wood on it, and then laid a pile of fine sand. A simple forge was made.

Then Chu Yang put the two iron sheets in it to dry-burn. When the two iron sheets were burned red all over, Chu Yang finally needed to hammer them into shape to make them into the shape he wanted.
