The same moonlit night.

Agou and Aque started their first battle in the Fallen Star Ocean, while Chu Tian was struggling with the Heaven-Defying Sword Canon in his divine orifice.

Just as Lao Hei said, sometimes, Lord Rat can be quite deceptive.

According to Lord Rat's mysterious magical powers, Lord Rat should have sensed it when Agou, Aque and others entered the Fallen Star Ocean.

In fact, Mr. Rat had no time to pay attention to other things at this time.

Following the trunk of the old golden osmanthus all the way down, the ability of the white jade shaft to absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth is more than a trillion times that of the old golden osmanthus's root system. Although Chu Tian was afraid of alarming the local forces in the Windless Canyon, he had tried his best to slow down the speed of the white jade shaft absorbing the spiritual essence of the earth veins.

After all, the white jade axle is the energy axis of the Qiqiao Heavenly Palace of the ancient supreme heavenly palace. In just a few days, the white jade axle extracted the essence of the earth veins, and the part allocated to Lao Jingui was comparable to the total amount of the essence of heaven and earth that Lao Jingui had absorbed in the past thousands of years.

With the nourishment of this huge and unusual spiritual essence of heaven and earth, the roots of the old golden osmanthus, which originally spread over a thousand miles, spread like wildfire.

One thousand five hundred miles, three thousand miles, six or seven thousand miles, ten thousand miles away!

In just a few days, the root system of the old golden osmanthus has expanded to a terrifying extent covering an area of ​​10,000 miles and penetrating 30,000 miles underground.

In addition to the portion of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth that the white jade shaft extracts and allocates to it every day, Old Golden Osmanthus's own huge roots also continuously extract the spiritual essence of the earth veins and continuously send it to various parts of the huge trunk.

In just a few days, the trunk of the old golden osmanthus tree had expanded to a thickness of a thousand feet, and its height had risen to about ten thousand feet.

If it weren't for the Hancui Cliff's mountain protection formation that blocked the view of outsiders, the drastic changes in the old golden osmanthus tree's trunk would have certainly been discovered at this moment.

Three thousand miles underground, Lord Rat was rolling with a faint silver light, like a silver shadow moving quickly underground. He ran rapidly along an unusually thick old golden osmanthus tree root, his small nose twitching rapidly.

"Not far, hehe, not far! Where to escape?" Two extremely thin silver lights shot out from Rat Lord's eyes. The thin silver lights shot out dozens of miles away. At the top, the two silver lights expanded to a size of a hundred acres, like two windmills spinning rapidly. Where the silver light shone, the soil and gravel were crystal clear, as transparent and flawless as colored glaze.

Lord Rat was running wildly underground. Wherever he passed, he saw several large-scale spirit crystal veins. All the spirit crystals within a thousand feet of Lord Rat's body disappeared without a trace and were instinctively absorbed by Lord Rat into the huge storage space in his body.

Suddenly, Lord Rat let out a sharp scream, his body shook, and his long, pointed tail trembled and swung forward violently. A very thin ray of silver light flew across and hit the end of the old osmanthus tree's roots hard.

A faint, fist-sized shadow was hit by the silver light. The silver light exploded and turned into a ball of silver mist with a radius of a hundred feet, which tightly enveloped the shadow.

In the slight vibration, the silver mist condensed into very thin chains, which quickly wrapped the shadow like a zongzi. Lord Rat flew in front of the shadow and laughed triumphantly at it.

"Run, run for Master Rat, keep running! Hehe, luckily Master Rat is very smart and always felt that there was something a little weird about you, this big wooden stake. Hehe, as expected, Master Rat still caught you by your fox tail!"

After circling the phantom several times, Master Rat looked at it and exclaimed, "How interesting! It failed to survive the thunderstorm, failed to transform into a tree demon, and its original intelligence was completely destroyed by the heavens. Yet, it was able to give birth to a demon!"

"Tree demon? It's a rare species, rarely seen!" Lord Rat poked the shadow with his thin, pointed tail, stood up, held his two front paws in front of his chest, and said arrogantly: "Don't pretend, it's useless to pretend to be a grandson in front of Lord Rat."

A hoarse cough sounded, and the small shadow squirmed and turned into a tiny golden osmanthus sapling the size of a thumb, trembling and floating in front of Master Rat. On the matchstick-thick trunk, an old face quietly emerged. Although it was tiny, the details were vivid and visible.

The face was extremely old, and the expressions at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows were particularly strange, revealing an extremely twisted, hideous and malicious look.

"We have no grudges!" The old face on the tree trunk moved his lips and roared in a hoarse voice: "You occupied my body and trampled on me day and night. I was afraid of you and did nothing! Why did you chase me? Why did you tie me up? Why do you have to force me?"

The overwhelming resentment, boundless malice, and endless negative mental fluctuations transformed into countless black osmanthus flowers, whizzing and flying rapidly around the small golden osmanthus sapling, making an extremely harsh sound.

The sound was extremely strange, as if it had a hook. If ordinary creatures heard the sound of these black osmanthus flowers flying rapidly, perhaps their souls would be hooked out.

The Rat Master raised his mouth, revealing his four bright front teeth, and looked at the small golden osmanthus sapling with pride: "Oh? Are you going crazy? Hey, you are full of resentment, but why are you mad at the Rat Master? Can you blame us for you falling into this situation?"

The old face grinned and screamed at the top of his lungs: "I have never fought with the world. I have never hurt anyone's life. I have never fought with anyone. Why should the thunder from heaven destroy my spirit?"

The tiny osmanthus sapling was shaking violently, and the old face on the trunk opened its mouth wide, with drops of black mucus gushing out from the corners of its mouth.

Lord Rat tilted his head and looked at the small sapling. After a long while, he said quietly, "Yeah, why did it have to be struck by lightning? You are unlucky!"

Rat Lord's words were extremely frivolous, full of provocation and ridicule. The old face of the golden osmanthus sapling was distorted with anger, and even the bark on the small trunk had several cracks.

"I'm unlucky?" The old face screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Do you think you are lucky? You were struck by lightning, so who else would be unlucky?" Lord Rat laughed, cocked his tail, and fiercely stabbed at the small old face: "But, stop talking nonsense. You have been sneaking around Tian Ge'er these past few days. What's the matter? Are you so bold that you want to take over Tian Ge'er's body? But... you are a monster, you can't take over a human body, don't you know?"

The old man's face suddenly froze. He looked at Master Shu in astonishment and suddenly screamed hysterically: "Impossible, impossible! Why can't I possess his body? I know it's possible, I can definitely do it. I won't make a mistake. As long as I devour his soul, I can definitely do it!"

Lord Rat rolled up his tail and hit the sapling hard, almost breaking it in two.

"What a trouble! You've just formed your form and you don't know anything. I can't reason with you. I, Rat Master, have always believed that reason cannot defeat fists. Why should I reason with you? I'll just beat you up!"
