"Xiaoxiao, which way are we going?"
“This way!”
Before Su Xiaoxiao could answer, Zhao Zixu pointed to the left.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and the group continued to move left.
Fang Chengyu and Wen Jiuer followed them all the way and gradually realized that something seemed to be wrong.
They had been walking for almost half an hour, so why didn't they meet anyone?
Not only did they discover this problem, but Su Xiaoxiao and others also discovered it.
The instructor clearly said that there are puppets and medicinal herbs in the small secret realm.
Logically speaking, they have been walking for so long, they should have encountered something.
However, the reality was cruel. Everywhere they looked, there were only some ordinary weeds.
"Xiaoxiao, another fork in the road."
Luye looked at the two roads and pursed his lips.
This time, without waiting for Lu Ye to ask, Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Zhao Zixu.
"Zhao Zixu, where are we going next?"
"this……"
Zhao Zixu thought for a moment and pointed to the right.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the left!"
"No, I said go right..."
"Well, we'll go left."
Su Xiaoxiao interrupted Zhao Zixu and turned to the left.
Luye and Mu Yansong listened to Su Xiaoxiao and didn't care about Zhao Zixu's choice at all.
Seeing that the three of them were walking to the left, Zhao Zixu had no choice but to quickly follow them.
Fang Chengyu and Wen Jiuer stood there motionless, watching their backs gradually disappear into the distance.
"Fang Chengyu, do you think we should still follow them?"
"It seems their luck is not good. Let's go our separate ways!"
“Good idea!”
Wen Jiuer nodded, agreeing with Fang Chengyu's idea.
I just followed them all the way and didn't see even a wooden stake, let alone a puppet.
She thought about it and there was only one possibility.
Su Xiaoxiao and the others are unlucky.
Avoid the route they choose and you will definitely gain something!
Wen Jiuer and Fang Chengyu thought so and did so.
They chose to walk in the opposite direction of Su Xiaoxiao and others.
Soon, Su Xiaoxiao discovered that the two followers who had followed them before were gone.
"Xiaoxiao, look, is that the Flame Grass?"
Shikano's voice caught everyone's attention.
Su Xiaoxiao looked in the direction his finger pointed, and saw a patch of lush green grass growing in the dense forest ahead.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the medicinal herbs, but Zhao Zixu did.
"It's Flame Grass!"
Zhao Zixu answered confidently.
He rushed forward excitedly and saw that under the big tree in front of him, there was a circle of fire grass growing around it, about twenty or thirty plants.
Zhao Zixu didn't care about being happy. He dug up the soil with his bare hands, pulled up the flame grass by the roots, and put it into his bamboo basket.
He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and the others, grinning and saying, "What are you guys still standing there for? Come over here and dig up the Flame Grass."
As his voice fell, Su Xiaoxiao and others quickly stepped forward and squatted around the trunk of the big tree.
They were about to start digging the grass when Zhao Zixu's voice came into their ears again.
"The leaves of the flame grass can't be used as medicine. It's the rhizomes that are used. When you dig them, be very careful not to damage the rhizomes."
Zhao Zixu comes from a medical family, and Su Xiaoxiao has no doubt about his professionalism.
She rolled up her sleeves and carefully dug up the soil.
Several people were busy, but Su Xiaoxiao's hands suddenly stopped moving.
Seeing her frowning and looking around warily, Luye asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at?"
"Did you hear any noise?"
"Sound?" Luye listened quietly for a while and shook his head: "No!"
"Strange, why is the sound gone? I clearly heard a creaking sound just now."
Su Xiaoxiao's words aroused Mu Yansong's vigilance.
He stood up suddenly and took a defensive stance.
"It's a puppet, everyone be careful!"
"No way, there's no puppet here, why don't I see it..."
Before Luye could finish his words, he saw a bird flying towards them quickly.
When the bird flew closer, he could see clearly that the bird was carved out of wood. What else could it be but a puppet?
He quickly drew his sword and cut the puppet bird in half with one blow.
He reached out to take the puppet's heart and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"It's just a puppet bird, what's there to be afraid of?"
Crunch...
As soon as Luye's voice fell, the sound of the puppet bird flapping its wings suddenly became very loud.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large, densely packed group of puppet birds appearing in front of them.
That dark mass, like a dark cloud, flew quickly towards Su Xiaoxiao and others.
"Oh my god, why...why are there so many puppet birds?"
Luye looked at the dense group of birds and got goosebumps all over his body.
He subconsciously took a step back, wanting to leave.
But just as the thought came to his mind, he saw Su Xiaoxiao and Mu Yansong holding swords and rushing towards the black shadow quickly.
"No way, so tough?"
"Luye, are you scared now?"
Su Xiaoxiao's voice slowly reached Luye's ears.
Lu Ye was immediately displeased, and with his hands on his hips, he said, "They're just a bunch of puppet birds. What's there to be afraid of? I just... I just feel uncomfortable looking at this dense mass of them."
"Brother Lu, those are points. If you don't want them, I'll go get them!"
Zhao Zixu threw down a few words and quickly rushed towards the puppet bird.
Luye swallowed and tightened his grip on the sword.
"Forget it, for the sake of points, I will fight you!"
Luye rushed forward quickly and slashed wildly with his sword.
The puppet bird has a small body and is very flexible in its movements.
In addition, there are so many of them that when Shikano attacks some of them, the others will attack him.
After a few pecks, his body was covered with red and purple spots from the puppet bird's beak.
"Woo woo woo, how come these puppets only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong? They know that I can't stand dense things, so they all come to attack me!"
"I'll help you!"
Seeing that Lu Ye looked pitiful, Su Xiaoxiao took two steps forward and came to his side to help.
With Su Xiaoxiao's help, Luye obviously felt that it was not so difficult anymore.
No longer being pecked by birds, Shikano's attacks became more fierce.
Soon, the puppet birds were split in half one after another.
The bird's body and the puppet's heart fell to the ground.
After splitting the last puppet bird, everyone put away their weapons.
They divided the puppet hearts and put them into their own bamboo baskets.
"Wow, in just a short while, we've already gained so much. Not only the Flame Grass, but also the Puppet Heart. We're going rich now!"
Zhao Zixu looked at the bamboo basket that was already half full and grinned excitedly.
