Chapter 331 Fighting for Territory
"What's going on?" Everyone wondered at the same time. The vines didn't stop them from entering before, and there were no signs of attacking. So what was the reason now?
Luo Xia Ran frowned slightly, and finally used her psychic ability to look outside the vines. Groups of squirrels were guarding the open space not far from the cave entrance, which made Luo Xia Ran
's eyes widen in surprise. I didn't expect the squirrels to have such a strong desire for revenge. Luo Xia Ran pursed her lips and realized that the purpose of the vines was to protect them. Maybe when they didn't know, the vines had helped repel many squirrels.
Luo Xia Ran thought so when she noticed that some squirrels had marks of being whipped. Although it was unclear what kind of plant this vine was, at least it showed no signs of killing anyone. Even the squirrels that wanted to enter the cave were only slightly injured.
"There is a group of squirrels outside, about two hundred in number. I think all the squirrels on the mountain may have gathered here." Luo Xiaran withdrew her mental power and said to Jun Lie on the side.
"Catching us again?" Hearing this, Jun Lie couldn't help but frown. Although Jun Lie didn't know much about small animals like squirrels, there was no information indicating that squirrels had a strong desire for revenge.
"Whatever the reason, just solve it directly." Luo Xiaran pursed her lips and said. If they could block them outside, they must be malicious, so she wouldn't be polite.
Walking to the entrance of the cave blocked by the vines, Luo Xiaran touched the vines tentatively. The vine that was touched also carefully used its round leaves to pinch the back of Luo Xia Ran's hand.
"We are going out, don't worry." Luo Xia Ran got the response from the vine, and while speaking, he raised his foot and wanted to pass through the vine.
And just as Luo Xia Ran guessed, the vine gradually shrank back with Luo Xia Ran's movement, revealing a gap that was enough for Luo Xia Ran and others to pass through.
The squirrels noticed the appearance of Luo Xia Ran and others, and stared at Luo Xia Ran and his group vigilantly, but they were afraid of the vines beside them, and did not show any signs of attacking, but just bent their bodies like a threat and made a "squeak squeak" sound.
"Grandpa Pei, what did they say?" Luo Xiaran turned around and asked Pei Zheng. Luo Xiaran always felt that these squirrels could not simply avenge their dead companions.
"Well, it seems that they are not coming to find us." Because there were many squirrels making sounds, Pei Zheng could not hear clearly, but he still vaguely heard the words "go in" from the squirrels. After identifying for a while, Pei Zheng said: "The purpose of these squirrels is to enter the cave. They should be competing with the mice for territory."
"Uh...fighting for territory?" Hearing this, Luo Xiaran licked his lips in disbelief. No wonder the vines closed the cave entrance. It turned out that this situation was not the first time it happened?
However, since the squirrels were not looking for them, Luo Xiaran touched his chin and asked Doudou to invite the big gray mouse out again. After all, it was their own business, right?
Unfortunately, Doudou returned empty-handed this time. The mice that got food were focusing on taking care of their newborn cubs and had no mood to care about the squirrels. Moreover, in the eyes of the big gray mouse, there were vines guarding the entrance to the cave, so the squirrels could not do anything to them...
