"What is this? Do you know what a small potato is?"

Looking at the strange pattern in front of him, Tianluo was full of questions. The vines walked back and forth on the pattern without fear of trouble, but they still couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Tianluo, step aside and let us see clearly."

Shushu was craning his neck to see the pattern clearly, but Tianluo kept blocking one corner or another, and Shushu's neck was about to ache from craning his neck, but he still couldn't see it all.

Looking down, Shushu rubbed her sore neck with her little paws and spoke helplessly.

"Okay, I'll move aside."

Tianluo was a little unhappy about being called out. He slapped the groove in the middle hard with his main vine before reluctantly moving aside to make room.

"Bunny, do you recognize this pattern?"

Shushu ignored Tianluo's little temper and turned to look at Tutu, who was also rubbing her neck, and asked curiously.

As for Rat Yibao, it was currently stretching out its claws to pull Tianluo down from the ceiling, and the puppet and the vine were engaged in a tug-of-war.

"I'm not sure, but I guess we should put something in that groove."

Rabbit glanced at Tianluo and Shuyibao to the side, her three-lobed mouth twitched, and then she looked up at the pattern on it seriously.

After watching for a while, it still couldn't figure it out and could only guess.

"Should we put in spirit stones? Or should we put some in and see?"

Shushu had the same guess, but since she didn't know what to put in it for the time being, she just said whatever came to mind.

Anyway, in the cultivation world, spirit stones pave the way, so trying them out shouldn't be a bad idea.

Moreover, she had just thoroughly searched through the inherited memories, but couldn't find anything corresponding to it, and had no idea what the pattern was or what its meaning was.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

The rabbit had no other choice, and since the pattern didn't give it any bad feeling and didn't seem like anything bad, it decided to give it a try.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Hearing that Rabbit agreed, Shushu didn't hesitate any longer and immediately took out a low-grade spirit stone, a mid-grade spirit stone, and a high-grade spirit stone from his spatial storage.

Just as she was about to summon her flying vehicle to place it upwards, the spirit stones in her claws were all snatched away by the vines, and at the same time, Tianluo's voice rang out.

"I'll do it, I'm not afraid of danger. Little Sweet Potato, give me the spirit stones, I'll go put them away. It's inconvenient for you and Rabbit to go up there, so let me do it."

Seeing Tianluo's unusually enthusiastic attitude, Shushu silently clenched her little paws. Now, she was starting to want to teach Teng how to be a vine.

Just as Shushu was pondering whether to beat up Tianluo first or wait until they got back, Tianluo had already shoved all three spirit stones into the groove.

Then, while Tianluo was still in the posture of charging forward, the spirit stone wrapped in the vines disappeared.

The groove remained unchanged, as if it wasn't the one that had just swallowed three spirit stones.

Tianluo withdrew the vine that had just been extended and examined it carefully for a while. He stared at the groove for several breaths without blinking before speaking in surprise.

"The spirit stones are gone? This groove really does consume spirit stones."

After saying that, Tianluo, still incredulous, used the vine he had just used to pat the groove.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

"squeak!"

"Chirp!"

The next moment, the vines that were slapping against the groove were hit by something and fell down without warning.

Meanwhile, the other roots and vines that were entwined around the pattern also seemed to have been electrocuted and fell off from above with a whoosh.

The incident happened so suddenly that it hit a mouse and a rabbit that were looking up at the sky, causing both of them to let out muffled groans as if they had been struck.

The rat, Yi Bao, was startled by the situation and quickly went over to pry open the Heavenly Net, revealing the rat cake and rabbit cake under the vines. He then hurriedly stuffed pills into the mouths of the two rats.

Fortunately, being spirit beasts and divine beasts, their bodies are not actually fragile; they were only suddenly flattened a little.

Just like a sponge that flattens when pressed down and bounces back when released, there was no real injury. The two little ones returned to normal shortly after taking the pills.

Then Shushu grabbed one of Tianluo's vines and began to lecture him: "Tianluo, if you act so recklessly again next time, I will definitely teach you how to be a vine."

If he weren't too small, Shushu would definitely have tied Tianlu into a pretzel.

Seeing that he had squashed both the sweet potato and the rabbit, Tianluo felt genuinely guilty and quickly apologized.

"Hey, hey, stop pulling! Little sweet potato, you pulled my ear! I know I was wrong, I'll do it again next time... Ugh, no, no, I won't do it again next time, really, I promise."

The beginning was fine, but towards the end, Tianluo started to ramble and inadvertently revealed his innermost thoughts.

Fortunately, its brain was close to its mouth at that moment, so it managed to control its mouth and quickly corrected its behavior.

"Alright, explain what just happened."

Hearing Tianluo's words, Shushu knew that it probably didn't mean it, so it silently loosened its grip a little and then asked.

As she spoke, she kept looking at the patterns and grooves above her head, feeling that this matter was related to them.

Sure enough, Tianluo's next words confirmed Shushu's guess.

"I was struck by lightning just now. You know how it is, plants and trees are most afraid of lightning. That's why I let go. I forgot for a moment that I was above your head, hehe."

In the end, Tianluo even made a begging gesture with its vines, trying to find something to appease Shushu. Then, its vines touched something.

Upon closer inspection, I exclaimed, "Oh, what a coincidence! Isn't this the same low-grade spirit stone it just picked up?"

Wait, something's not right. It was just hit by something. Could it be this spirit stone?

So that groove is for swallowing mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, and then smashing low-grade spirit stones into it!

Enraged by his own conjecture, Tianluo, without a second thought, shoved the low-grade spirit stone into the groove again.

The next moment, the spirit stone disappeared. The moment after that, a low-grade spirit stone was suddenly ejected from the groove and headed straight for Tianluo. Okay, my guess was correct.

"What the hell are you? You're picky even though there's food to eat, and you even threw my spirit stones at me! What do you mean by that?!"

This time, Tianluo was well-prepared and successfully dodged the attack. After the spirit stone landed, it stretched out its vines to pick it up, and then pointed at the groove and cursed loudly.

The potato and the rabbit watched the whole thing and were also a little incredulous. This... this person even picked at their food.

Just as Shushu was thinking about whether to try with another mid-grade spirit stone, she suddenly noticed that a storage bag in her space was pulsating, as if something wanted to come out.

Shushu's divine sense drifted over, picked up the storage bag, and instantly knew what was inside.

Isn't this the black wood and red stone I bought in the market of Wanyue City back then?
