Chapter 26: The Rat(1/2)
"Don't force me to do it!" Xue Huanhuan turned to look at the male cultivator. Her fingers turned into claws, and red spiritual power wrapped around them.
"I wish you all!" The three monks behind the male cultivator took a step forward.
Song Shiyin took a closer look and found that although the male cultivators were only at the third level of Qi Refining, all three cultivators were in the foundation building stage.
How can three Qi refining and one foundation building defeat one Qi refining and three foundation building?
Song Shiyin winked at Du Yunxi, and Du Yunxi quickly went up to coax Xue Huanhuan back.
She quietly wrote the words "long term plan" on the palms of Bian Tingyu and Du Yunxi.
Bian Tingyu could only suppress her anger for the time being.
The four of them were completely in no mood to hunt the Jade Rat at this time.
Whenever they cautiously approached the Jade Rat, the male cultivator would always take action to scare the Jade Rat away, but the four of them were unable to do anything.
The most irritating thing is that when they planned to break the jar and attack the Jade Rat directly, the male cultivator uncharacteristically stopped interfering. However, the Jade Rat reacted very quickly and escaped in a few seconds.
From the time they came out to now, everyone has met ten green-striped rats, but found nothing. Moreover, the four of them knew that their anger and helplessness would only make the male cultivators even happier.
Because it was his purpose to cause trouble for the four of them.
The most frightening thing is that they don’t know how long the male cultivator can persist in pestering them. If he is really cruel, it will be endless. Correspondingly, they will also have to spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate the male cultivator.
Fight wits and courage to get rid of entanglements.
Song Shiyin quietly released his spiritual consciousness, then slowly ascended, overlooking the entire grassland, looking for a way to escape.
She looked carefully and found that there was a piece of neon grass on the north side of the grassland. The characteristic of neon grass was that its leaves were very large and very tall. Standing in the neon grass, you could completely hide your figure.
After thinking for a while, Song Shiyin decided to lead everyone in the direction of Nishangcao.
When they were about to approach the Nishang Grass, Du Yunxi saw a patch of green in the distance. She remembered this and secretly winked at the other three people.
The tacit understanding developed during the last trip came into play at this moment.
The four of them walked forward slowly.
Du Yunxi's hands holding the arms of Bian Tingyu and Xue Huanhuan suddenly tightened. The two understood Du Yunxi's plan, and the four of them suddenly ran towards Nishang Grassland together.
Before entering the grassland, Song Shiyin turned his head slightly and glanced at the male cultivator. There was no surprise in his eyes, only determination to win.
As soon as they entered the grassland, the four of them moved forward little by little, trying not to let the neon grass shake.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Bian Tingyu felt a little tired.
She gasped and asked softly: "Did you get rid of him?"
"I didn't see him chasing me, nor did I hear any movement." Song Shiyin replied.
"That's fine, that's fine, I'll take a rest, I'm exhausted." As she said that, Bian Tingyu sat down on the ground.
The three of them also sat on the ground and took a rest.
"This is more stressful than when I escaped from the wolves before!" Bian Tingyu fanned the wind with her hands, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead.
Song Shiyin stood up, carefully folded four small leaves of neon grass, and gave them to the three of them so that they could cover their heads from the hot sun.
"He is much more difficult to deal with than the wolves!" Du Yunxi also said.
"When we go out soon, we will hunt down the green-striped rat quickly, and then quickly change places! This will save him from chasing after him again due to the smell." Bian Tingyu said.
"Yes, getting rid of him quickly is the most important thing." Du Yunxi agreed.
Song Shiyin and Xue Huanhuan also nodded.
That's what they said, but Song Shiyin always felt that it was not that simple. After all, when they met the first green rat today, the male cultivator suddenly appeared behind them.
"Let's go, let's go find Bi Wen Shu." Bian Tingyu patted her butt and stood up.
The four of them walked around the Nishang Grassland as much as possible to prevent the male cultivators from chasing them.
The first thing she did when she stepped out of the grass was that she looked around and saw no male cultivators. She breathed a sigh of relief and beamed with joy.
"Finally got rid of this guy, let's go." Bian Tingyu proudly greeted everyone to move forward.
Fortunately, they met a green rat within a few steps.
The four of them repeated the steps they had just taken, preparing to use spiritual power to seal the road so that the green-striped rat could not escape.
When the four of them were about to take action, another arrow came.
Song Shiyin secretly thought, sure enough.
The four of them slowly turned their heads to look. The male cultivator was leaning under a tree not far away, with his hands folded across his chest, looking at the four of them with a proud expression.
Bian Tingyu closed her eyes silently, as if she was not there if she didn't look at the male cultivator.
Du Yunxi secretly clenched her fists, she was really angry.
"What kind of opportunity did the four fellow Taoists find in the colorful grassland?" the male cultivator asked.
The four of them said nothing and were too lazy to pay attention to him.
The male cultivator was not annoyed. He blew the bangs on his forehead with his mouth, then rolled his eyes and said happily: "Why don't you let me answer your questions?"
As he spoke, the male cultivator took out a magic weapon from his storage bag, a wooden butterfly that was flapping its wings. It looked exquisite and lifelike.
Seeing that the four people were confused, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"This object is a tracking instrument, and it's called 'Attracting Bees and Butterflies'." The male cultivator said it word by word, very clearly.
Xue Huanhuan raised her eyebrows and said with an unhappy look on her face: "Did you try to attract bees and butterflies to us?"
"Obviously." The male cultivator was very proud.
"Senior Sister Xue?" Du Yunxi asked.
"Attracting bees and butterflies..." Xue Huanhuan just started.
The male cultivator over there also spoke, his voice overshadowing Xue Huanhuan's, and said: "Attracting bees and butterflies, it is an Earth-level tracking weapon, and the one I have in my hand is even higher-grade!"
"Each attractor of bees and butterflies has its own secret medicine. What they have in common is that they are all colorless and odorless, making it difficult for people to detect. Sprinkle the secret medicine on the things you want to track, and you will be able to reach the ends of the world, forever and ever.
Can be found!" The male cultivator burst into laughter.
Du Yunxi also smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"It's quite alarmist." Du Yunxi didn't believe it at all.
There are definitely other conditions for tracking them down, but the male cultivator didn't mention them.
Song Shiyin didn't believe it either.
Because there is no magic weapon in Qianhonghai that can be tracked forever and ever.
"It's up to you to believe it or not, but it's up to me to follow him or not." The male cultivator raised his hand, and the butterfly fluttered its wings and flew towards the four of them.
Bian Tingyu was annoyed when she saw it and stretched out her hand to fight it away.
But this butterfly is very flexible, moving up and down, left and right, and Bian Tingyu can't hit it at all.
She became even more angry.
Xue Huanhuan turned her fingers into claws and grabbed the butterfly hard. Unexpectedly, the butterfly suddenly had sharp thorns sticking out from all over its body.
Prick Xue Huanhuan's entire palm.
"Sister Xue!" Du Yunxi shouted anxiously. She grabbed Xue Huanhuan's injured hand and looked up and down.
The beast's claws were already hard, but now they were densely covered with blood holes, which looked very scary.
You can see how sharp the butterfly's spikes are.
"Don't waste your efforts."
Xue Huanhuan endured this sigh. She turned around and quietly said to the three of them: "It is rare to track a magic weapon. Moreover, this one is a top-grade attractor. I'm afraid the origin of this person is not simple."
Xue Huanhuan, who made no secret of her temper when the new disciples were learning "Piao Miao Step Technique", actually restrained her temper at this moment when faced with the male cultivator who was making things difficult for them.
Du Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable.
The three of them nodded and said nothing.
Out of sight, out of mind, the four of them turned around and walked back.
This time I was just wandering around aimlessly to kill time.
Song Shiyin saw a small raised piece of land in front of him. Nothing grew on it, which was somewhat incompatible with the surrounding vegetation.
Song Shiyin thought for a while and found a good angle. There happened to be a spiritual plant on the lower left side of the land.
She walked over and prepared to pick.
The male cultivator who was right behind her moved his hand. He raised his long bow and shot an arrow, hitting the center of the raised land.
The land suddenly shook.
Song Shiyin was so frightened that he backed away and quickly ran back to the three of them.
At this time, the male cultivator's long bow has not yet been put away.
"Are you okay Shiyin?" Seeing Song Shiyin running over in a panic, Bian Tingyu asked quickly.
