But after receiving that call, Yue Jiuling, who had just said "I won't bother you," came back and shook Ya Zi awake. Holding her phone, she said, "Don't sleep, let's go. Xinyu has a lead, but we need to go help her."
Yue Jiuling woke up Ya Zi, then went to call Ye Dongfeng and Yin Ni. Ye Dongfeng was still organizing his treasures, so as soon as he heard that there was a clue, he excitedly took out several useful magical artifacts from the box and said, "Ready to get to work? Come on, I want to try out these good things!"
Hidden also said, "It's good to have a clue, otherwise Xinyu and the other two would probably be in a bad mood. Let's go."
Ya Zi picked up the phone that was still charging and said, "Yeah, that's true, but I guess the clue was probably found by that kid, Xiao Baicai."
He followed the others while sending a message to Xiaobaicai. Xiaobaicai had been taken away by Bai Xinyu in a hurry, and he hadn't had time to ask her about the test results of the broken wooden sword. In order to prevent forgetting to ask later, he sent a message to Xiaobaicai now.
Meanwhile, the few girls, including Xiaobaicai, who were waiting for everyone in the alley, were squatting on the ground, looking at a small sapling that was only a dozen centimeters tall.
Actually, it should be Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi who are watching, while Xiao Baicai is having a silent face-to-face exchange with the sapling.
When Xiao Baicai communicates with his kind who has not yet gained sentience, he is very focused and attentive. Therefore, Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi did not dare to disturb him when they saw him with his eyes closed, looking as if he was in deep meditation.
Since the saplings aren't talking little monsters, the cabbage can only communicate with them by using its mind to enter the nervous system inside the plants and feel everything they've experienced—that is, empathy. This method isn't very difficult, but it's not easy either.
After the little cabbage squatted quietly without moving for five minutes, Bai Xinyu became puzzled. She whispered to herself, "Why is it taking so long this time? Wasn't it only three minutes before?"
Mu Xiaoyi frowned and said, "Yeah, that little tree was a bit taller than this one, and it only took about three minutes. Why did this one take so long?"
Actually, Xiaobaicai had already empathized with another sapling and came up with a clue: when the homeless people were taken away, that sapling 'saw' the direction the monster went. Although the clues were few, they couldn't be overlooked, so Bai Xinyu immediately called Yue Jiuling and asked them all to come and help.
Just as the two of them were discussing in hushed tones, Little Cabbage finally opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he let out a heavy sigh, then rubbed his body with a pained expression and said, "Oh my god, it hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"What's wrong? Why do you feel so much pain?"
Mu Xiaoyi was puzzled when she saw Xiaobaicai's appearance.
After rubbing his own body, the little cabbage reached out and tenderly stroked the sapling. He said sadly, "Sigh~ This little guy is so pitiful. When I was empathizing with it just now, I saw some naughty human kids playing ball here this morning. The ball was very heavy and hit the sapling. It must have hurt so much!"
He paused for a moment, then continued to stroke the sapling tenderly, saying, "I got past the incident with the naughty child and went back to last night. But I didn't see any monsters; I just saw a rat gnawing at the roots of the sapling, which hurt me a lot!"
At this point, Xiaobaicai was both angry and sad, but he continued, "I also went to look in front of the rat, but I still didn't see the murder monster. I only saw a man wearing yellow clothes passing by here."
"Well, I just didn't expect this little tree to be so pitiful~"
Bai Xinyu had been listening for so long, and was a little disappointed that she hadn't gotten any clues. However, she knew that the little cabbage had tried its best and had even gone through the pain of the sapling being hit and bitten. So, she looked at the sapling with sympathy and said, "Oh dear, you've really suffered so much~"
Little Cabbage nodded and said, "Yes, so I plan to dig it up and take it home to raise later."
Mu Xiaoyi and the others knew that Xiaobaicai liked to plant things, so they didn't have any objections. However, Mu Xiaoyi still said, "Didn't you see the culprit? That shouldn't be the case. We saw it on the last little tree!"
Little Cabbage also found it strange. He thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something. He said, "Right, didn't I just see someone wearing yellow clothes? I felt like I couldn't make out their face clearly!"
Normally, a sapling at this height should be able to see a person's head, so when Xiaobaicai pointed out this suspicious point, Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi immediately understood.
