Chapter 67 Forest Survival (5)
After a long struggle, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Gu Shijiu and the sniper were out of bullets.
The one who was fighting Shi Qi did not gain any advantage either.
To avoid encountering a predator, the sniper called to his companions and headed into the dense woods.
He even made some harsh remarks before leaving.
"I'm not in good shape today, but if we meet again, I'll definitely take your dog's life!"
The sniper removed the hood covering his head, revealing a handsome profile.
Seeing that he had put down his gun, Gu Shijiu immediately lunged forward, intending to fight him in close combat.
The sniper was startled by Gu Shijiu's reaction: "You, you, you, why are you so close to me?!"
Gu Shijiu was completely baffled; weren't they fighting?
This person has a problem with their brain.
Gu Shijiu smashed the sniper's head hard with the butt of his rifle, instantly splattering his brains and killing him.
Upon seeing this, his companion's pupils constricted in horror: "How could you be so vicious—I'm quitting!"
Fortunately, he shouted "Exit" before Gu Shijiu made a move, and after a flash of white light, he disappeared from the spot.
"Huh, where did he go?" Gu Shijiu had forgotten this rule.
Shi Qi explained to her at the right time: "Isn't there a rule that you can leave by saying 'quit'?"
"Please don't kill me..." Zhao Qing's hands were trembling with fear.
"Aren't we on the same team? Why would I kill you?"
Gu Shijiu's big eyes showed even greater confusion.
Zhao Qing was so frightened that she forgot: "Oh, right, right, right. Teacher Gu, I still have supplies here, please make arrangements."
Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi didn't stand on ceremony with her and put her supplies into their backpacks as well.
The three of them walked toward the house.
Before leaving, Zhao Qing looked back at the spot where the sniper had died.
The body was gone.
That's terrifying. They just kill people without warning.
Zhao Qing was racking her brains for words to praise Gu Shijiu: "You guys are such good actors, I haven't even learned anything yet."
She only has a natural talent for disguise.
Shi Qi took the opportunity to ask some questions about the actors.
Zhao Qing has only been here for two years. Since choosing to become an actress, she has only filmed one or two scenes and has mostly been learning.
Fortunately, the Green Forest Realm has its own section, and Zhao Qing is doing quite well following the seniors who have ascended to the top.
What do you study?
After watching these actors' clumsy performances, Shi Qi was really curious about what they had learned.
Speaking of this, Zhao Qing was filled with bitter tears.
"I learned so much! 'Fundamentals of Screenwriting,' 'Fundamentals of Film Directing,' 'Audiovisual Language,' 'Film Styling,' 'Film Appreciation,' 'World Cinema History'"
"Performing Arts", "Performing Theory", "Studies in the History of Film Performing Arts", "Studies in Film and Television Performing Arts Creation", "Studies in Performing Masters"...
The classes are difficult and numerous; there are too many to count.
Shi Qi was a little puzzled: "It's all theory classes."
Doesn't it involve any practical application?
"Practical courses will only be offered after you join the sect. I've only been here for two years and haven't passed the exam yet."
Zhao Qing felt a little embarrassed.
"Maybe it's because my foundation is too weak. I tried to interview last year but failed."
The recruitment season is about to begin, and I'll work even harder to get into my desired sect!
"I wonder which sect you prefer?" Shi Qi inquired.
He had also looked into the different schools of thought that trained actors, and they all claimed to be the best.
With the help of fellow immortals from the same realm, Zhao Qing should have better access to information than he and Gu Shijiu.
"Naturally, it's the best cultural and artistic institution in the ethereal immortal realm—the Central Academy of Arts."
This is the academy in the central region. If it weren't for taking this exam, I would have gone to another sect last year.
Don't listen to those advertisements' hype. If you want to truly learn useful knowledge, you still have to go to the central section.
Zhao Qing became more and more excited as she spoke, and Shi Qi silently memorized the name of the central section.
"hehe."
As everyone was chatting, they suddenly heard a short laugh, which sounded somewhat disdainful.
Turning my head, I saw a young man carrying a heavy sword emerge from the bushes.
"What are the sects in the Central Plate compared to the most powerful performing arts academy on the Canglan Continent?"
Currently, three of the top ten actors on Weibo are from the Canglan Performing Arts Academy.
The boy used his sword to clear a path through the bushes.
Zhao Qing was very unconvinced: "Your sect specializes in training stars, unlike the Central Academy of Literature, which is a comprehensive academy where cultivators of all kinds of cultural and artistic fields can find a suitable major."
The boy grinned crookedly: "Tch, what's the use of that? Just a jack of all trades, master of none."
Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi watched the two of them exchanging barbs from the sidelines.
"Aren't you going to fight?" Gu Shijiu yawned.
Shi Qi slipped her a piece of chocolate.
Suddenly, the boy shouted, "Since neither of us can convince the other, let's settle this with our skills!"
Zhao Qing manipulated a vine to wrap around the back of the boy's neck: "Hmph, I can't beat Gu Shijiu, but do you think I'm afraid of you?"
She had already figured it out; this young man was just a new disciple with low cultivation.
Gu Shijiu, who had just perked up but was inexplicably called out, thought: What does this have to do with me?
The hairs on the boy's back stood on end. He quickly jumped away from his spot and immediately turned around, raising his hand and severing the vines controlled by Zhao Qing with a single sword stroke.
Zhao Qing was shocked; such speed!
She intensified her power output, and the vines that had been quietly rooted in the soil around her changed direction, trying to entangle the boy.
These vines were created by Zhao Qing using the existing vines in the forest and her own energy, making them very flexible to use.
When Zhao Qing uses her abilities, she can not only use plants as weapons, but also has a certain degree of empathy with them.
Therefore, Zhao Qing could not hide the commotion from the surrounding area.
No matter how fast the boy was, it was all in vain.
A cold glint flashed from the heavy sword, and the young man appeared behind Zhao Qing in a flash.
However, Zhao Qing seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She swung the vine behind her, and if the boy hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit squarely.
The boy launched several more attacks, and Zhao Qing finally seized an opportunity.
She thinned and sharpened the very end of a vine, then pierced it through the boy's wrist as he held the sword!
The boy was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat, but he did not retreat. Instead, he endured the excruciating pain and gripped the sword tightly in his hand.
The vines sprouted finer tendrils from his wound, piercing and churning his flesh.
Despite the pain, the boy swung his sword down. Zhao Qing, whose abilities were exhausted and had not yet been replenished, was about to be struck.
Seeing this, Gu Shijiu threw a punch and lunged forward.
The boy was trapped by the vines and couldn't escape. He shouted, "You're cheating! Team up and beat me up!"
Shi Qi raised her voice and said, "Friend, when did we ever say we were going to fight alone?"
Without further hesitation, Gu Shijiu threw a punch.
The boy had already witnessed the power of Gu Shijiu's fist while hiding in the vines, and quickly retreated.
Blood gushed from the wound, indicating that he was prepared to lose a hand.
Unfortunately, although he moved quickly, he was not as fast as Gu Shijiu's punches, and he followed in the footsteps of the sniper.
