Chapter 119 Illusion

After wandering around in the same place for at least an incense stick of time, Lin Xiaoman finally realized that she was lost. After another incense stick of time, she was still wandering around in the woods and couldn't even find the way back. Her face became serious.

"No way? So unlucky?"

This situation is very much like encountering some powerful monster that is trapping me in this forest. What kind of monster?

Lin Xiaoman frowned. He had to find the monster first and kill it before he could leave the forest.

But... she didn't have any powerful weapons that could break the illusion, but... Lin Xiaoman looked around and didn't see even a single spiritual plant. Generally, where there are powerful monsters, their guardian spiritual plants are more likely to appear around them.

"Hey, what the hell are you? If you have the guts, come out and fight. You're no hero if you keep hiding here and there."

Lin Xiaoman was helpless. He looked up and shouted around several times, but there was still no response, and nothing came to attack him.

Finally, he was tired of shouting and throwing talismans everywhere to attack, but it was useless. Lin Xiaoman simply sat down and took out the food in the storage bag to eat while he was hungry.

"I'm hungry. No matter who you are, you are not allowed to come out while I'm eating."

Oh, I wonder what's happened to Tiantian and Senior Brother Wang? I hope Senior Brother Liu dealt with those tiger-lion beasts and went to find them. At least they're safe.

As for myself, if Tiantian and Senior Brother Wang see the mark I left, they will know that I came here. With Senior Brother Liu here, it should not be difficult to find her.

So, in fact, she is not in too much danger, as long as she can save her own life as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking and before she could eat the meat in the bowl, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards her.

"ah!"

Lin Xiaoman screamed in surprise. She was well prepared and quickly retreated. At the same time, she threw the fireball talisman that she had prepared in her hand, and a bunch of sparks immediately ignited.

"squeak!!!"

A scream rang out, sounding as if the creature was jumping up and down. Lin Xiaoman laughed out loud, "Hahaha, it turns out to be a mouse. It's you who trapped me here?"

It turned out to be a snow-white little mouse, but it looked a little different from a mouse. After taking a closer look, Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up. This... "Hey, you, you, you, are you a treasure-hunting mouse?"

Is her luck finally about to change? Encountering a treasure-hunting rat—isn't that something only heroines get? As long as she gets the treasure-hunting rat, her chances of finding treasure in secret realms and other places will greatly increase. No, no matter where she goes, as long as there's a treasure, the treasure-hunting rat will lead her to it.

Posted it! Posted it!

You must accept this treasure-hunting mouse.

“Squeak!!!”

A series of fireball talismans caused the treasure-hunting mouse's originally soft and white hair to stand up one by one, as if it was about to explode. The tip of its tail was a little charred, uh, it was caused by the explosion.

Feeling a little guilty, Lin Xiaoman coughed lightly, "Um, why did you trap me here? Are you hungry? Do you want some meat?"

Lin Xiaoman couldn't believe that such a treasure-hunting rat liked to eat human flesh. She remembered that the treasure-hunting rat recorded in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sutra fed on spiritual energy from heaven and earth, spiritual plants and other spiritual objects. It wasn't a carnivore, right?

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the treasure-hunting mouse, which had been furious at her, seemed to relax a little and called out to her in confusion and hesitation, "Squeak?"

Lin Xiaoman raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Really? This is third-level monster meat." She picked up a piece of braised pork from the bowl and threw it in front of the treasure-hunting rat. "Here, try it. Don't eat too much, or you'll get sick."

The meat of the third-level monster is rich in spiritual energy. It would be bad if one gets sick from eating it. She also wants to capture this treasure-hunting rat.

Alas, she remembered that the treasure-hunting mouse didn’t seem to have the ability to create illusions.

The treasure-hunting rat recorded in the Book of Ten Thousand Beasts only knows how to do one thing, which is to find treasures. It has no other attack capabilities.

The treasure-hunting mouse looked at the braised pork in front of him. It smelled so good that he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He looked up at Lin Xiaoman in confusion and vigilance, and moved closer to the braised pork. When he got to the meat, Lin Xiaoman didn't move, so he quickly grabbed the braised pork, turned around and ran away. It was so fast.

Lin Xiaoman quickly chased after him, "Hey, don't run, wait, I still have a lot here."

The treasure-hunting mouse, which had already run far away, stopped when it heard this. It hesitated and looked back, and saw Lin Xiaoman holding a piece of fragrant braised pork in his chopsticks. It hesitated...

"Hey, try this meat and see if it tastes good. It's from a third-level monster. By the way, do you eat vegetables? They're also spiritual plants."

As Lin Xiaoman spoke, he threw the meat on the chopsticks a little forward, still some distance away from the treasure-hunting rat, just to lure it over, and then he picked up some spiritual vegetables that he had grown and placed them in front of himself.

"Squeak."

It looks delicious, fragrant and full of energy.

The treasure-hunting mouse quickly stuffed the meat in its claws into its mouth, and its eyes suddenly lit up. It chewed the meat with a crunch, and soon finished eating that piece of meat. It moved forward and grabbed another piece, staring at Lin Xiaoman vigilantly. Seeing that she didn't move, it lowered its head and continued to eat the meat. After eating, it continued to move forward and grabbed the spiritual vegetable to eat. Hmm, this one has a stronger spiritual energy without meat.

Seeing that the treasure-hunting rat was obviously not as interested in spiritual vegetables as in the meat of the third-level monster, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It was really the same as Tuanzi, both were carnivorous monsters.

So she continued to throw the braised pork in the bowl over one piece after another. The treasure-hunting mouse accepted all of it. Its small body seemed only the size of her palm, but it could eat piece after piece of meat. It seemed that its body had not changed at all, and no one knew where the food went.

“Squeak, squeak!”

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt the hem of her clothes being pulled, and heard an urging voice. Lin Xiaoman looked down and saw that the treasure-hunting rat, who had been wary of her, was now pulling at her clothes, looking up at her, with a pair of small eyes full of urging.

Lin Xiaoman: ... "Hey, this is the last piece of meat. You ate all my lunch today."

"squeak!"

The treasure-hunting rat quickly grabbed the meat thrown by Lin Xiaoman, held it and chewed it happily, and seemed to understand what Lin Xiaoman said. After seeing this piece, the human did not throw any more meat to it, so it squeaked, turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, its figure disappeared, and Lin Xiaoman could not catch up at all.

"Good guy, eat and run."

Lin Xiaoman chased for a while but still couldn't catch up. He couldn't help but stamp his feet in anger and said, "Humph, you greedy rat, I'll cook a pot of meat later. I don't believe you can hold back."
