After Dugu Xin finished speaking, Han Yu immediately led everyone to look for him.
But they searched for a long time and didn't find anything unusual.
Just when everyone was at a loss, someone next to Han Yu suddenly remembered.
"Compared to other times, the only anomaly last night was the appearance of the Earth Dragon."
"Also, when we worked together to subdue the earth dragon, there seemed to be a faint fragrance on the earth dragon."
Dugu Xin's eyes lit up. At that time, they were only focused on controlling the earth dragon and indeed did not notice it.
Now that he was reminded by this person, Dugu Xin seemed to remember that when he spat out blood, he smelled a faint fragrance above the head of the earth dragon.
"So it seems that this muskrat is somehow related to the earth dragon."
"However, we have already put the Earth Dragon into that small box. It is impossible to use it again."
"Then we'll have to figure it out on our own."
"Since muskrats like to eat young leaves, you should collect all the young leaves from the treetops."
"I just don't believe it. With so many of us, we can't catch a mouse."
Upon hearing this, his men had no choice but to use their lightness skills to pick all the tender buds on the treetops.
For a moment, the whole woods were filled with people jumping up and down. The scene was spectacular and funny at the same time.
However, the effect was quite good. Soon, they had picked almost all the tender buds on the treetops.
Dugu Xin had all the young shoots put on a stone slab to prevent muskrats from suddenly emerging from the soil to take the food.
After the food was placed, they could only wait again.
The waiting time was the most tiring, and soon, a whole day passed.
The young leaves showed no sign of moving, not even the Muskrat King, nor even an ordinary mouse.
"Master, are you sure mice eat leaves?"
Han Yu was a little skeptical, and Dugu Xin was not very sure either, but he firmly believed in the information Ye Xiaoxiao gave him.
"Wait a little longer. Maybe they won't appear during the day. Let's be more vigilant at night."
Han Yu felt a little helpless, but when he thought about the fact that mice were indeed more active at night, he had to be patient for the time being.
After waiting like this for most of the day, the sky gradually darkened and nothing could be seen clearly.
After everyone had a simple meal of dry food, they hid themselves.
There was no movement all night long, until a hint of paleness appeared in the sky, and then the young leaves suddenly moved.
However, when Dugu Xin and the others discovered it, the tender leaves had already been stolen by rats through a small hole.
They hurriedly dug along the rat hole, but unfortunately, the hole was too small. When they dug down, the rat had already disappeared.
"Master, it seems we have been fooled by a group of rats."
Dugu Xin frowned, "What do you mean?"
"These mice have no scent at all, they are just ordinary mice."
"I suspect the Rat King sent them here to steal food."
As Han Yu finished speaking, a subordinate behind him whispered.
"Master, look across the river."
Dugu Xin looked over and saw a relatively large rat on the other side of the river baring its teeth at them.
"Master, it seems we are being mocked by rats."
Dugu Xin glanced at him coldly and said, "Shut up."
Han Yu shut up awkwardly, and then they looked at Dugu Xin in confusion.
"Master, what should we do next?"
"Go find a boat, one made of iron. I don't believe these rats can chew through iron."
Han Yu was a little embarrassed, but seeing Dugu Xin's unquestionable look, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
After randomly selecting a few people, they went down the mountain.
Dugu Xin and the rest of the people paced back and forth along the river, hoping to find a weakness in these rats.
But they walked around and didn't find any mice, let alone a mouse nest.
Dugu Xin was a little angry, so he asked his subordinates to cut down a big tree, and then he personally carried the tree trunk down to the river.
However, when his men reached the center of the river, the round wooden stakes had already been gnawed away by rats.
Dugu Xin wanted to kill a few rats with his sword, but these rats were extremely cunning in the water.
Often before his sword reached the mouse, it had already changed direction.
Dugu Xin tried several times, but all ended in failure.
"Master, let's wait until Han Yu and the others come back."
Dugu Xin was a little discouraged, so he nodded and sat down quietly to rest.
Fortunately, they were not far from the county town at the foot of the mountain, so it was not too difficult to get an iron ship.
When Han Yu and others returned with the iron boat, it was already evening.
"Master, do you want to cross the river now or tomorrow morning?"
Dugu Xin couldn't wait any longer and ordered someone to send the iron boat into the river.
Not only that, this time he smeared poison around the boat, because he didn't believe that he couldn't cure a group of rats.
Dugu Xin personally boarded the boat, and then took Han Yu and three other subordinates to cross the river first.
This time, I don’t know if it was because the iron ship couldn’t bite it, or if the poison took effect.
The rats just followed from a distance at the bottom of the river, but did not gnaw at the iron boat again.
"Master, this method is good. The rats didn't come over."
A cold light flashed in Dugu Xin's eyes, because he saw the huge rat on the other side of the river squeaking at him.
Han Yu was a little stunned, "Master, is that rat provoking us?"
Dugu Xin looked at Han Yu with a cold face.
