When they encountered the folded space, Shushu was perched on Shuyibao's shoulder, with Huoyi on its head, and was only two or three steps away from Luli.
The distance between them was very close, but after they accidentally stepped into the folded space, the distance between the senior and junior disciples was instantly widened.
Even though Lu Li rushed forward the moment he noticed, he was still a step too late.
Fortunately, there were no vengeful spirits in the folded space. Although Shushu was a little nervous when he was suddenly pulled in, he was not panicked.
She quickly calmed down and began trying to contact Tianluo using the power of the contract.
This is because before she fell into the folded space, Tianluo was wrapped around Lu Li's natal sword, so she should be with Lu Li now.
She wanted to see if she could get in touch with him, and also let Lu Li know she was safe so he wouldn't worry too much.
Unfortunately, she called out in her heart for a long time without receiving any response. Knowing that it must be due to the folded space, she stopped trying and began to look for a way out.
The folding space was quite large, and Shushu carefully considered it for a long time before choosing a direction that he thought was reliable to set off.
At first, everything was fine. They walked a long way without encountering any accidents.
Just as she could smell the blood outside and was about to leave this folded space, they were swept away by a moving folded space and fell directly into another space.
Clearly, this is not an ordinary folded space, but a cluster of multiple folded spaces.
Therefore, to avoid falling into other spaces again and being trapped in the folded space forever, the next shrew was even more careful when exploring.
First, they pulled out an array plate that could measure spatial fluctuations from the space, and then took out some branches and stones and threw them ahead to explore the way.
After confirming several times that everything was in order, she let Shu Yibao lead her forward, searching for a way out in the overlapping, folded space.
Unbeknownst to her, Lu Li, who was not far behind her, rushed in without a second thought after discovering she was missing, wanting to catch up with Shushu.
However, he was destined to be disappointed, because the entrance to this folded space was random; even if the man and the rat entered one after the other, they would be sent to different planes.
The senior and junior disciples were thus separated. Lu Li only realized after entering that this was actually an overlapping space, and the kind with a large number of folded planes.
Lu Li already knew that the two sides in the folded space could not communicate with each other, and he also understood that he had no other way but to search one plane after another.
Therefore, having figured all this out, Lu Li quickly took action and began searching in each plane.
Unexpectedly, he had only found the fifth folded plane when he suddenly encountered a spatial flow, and was then swept out of the folded space by this spatial flow.
When he tried to go back in to find the millet, the entrance to the folded space had disappeared, and he was once again surrounded by a group of vengeful spirits who had come after smelling the aroma.
Unable to break free and with no way to find the entrance, Lu Li could only kill these vengeful spirits while searching for the entrance to the folded space. Unknowingly, he stumbled deeper and deeper into the center of this ancient battlefield.
While he was fighting the enemy, Shushu, who was still in the folded space, was also groping her way to find an exit, completely unaware that she was heading in the direction closest to the center.
And so, without each other's knowledge, the senior and junior disciples all moved in the same direction.
Finally, on the fifth day that the potato was trapped, she successfully found the exit.
Just as he was directing Mouse One to dart out, he bumped right into Lu Li, who had also discovered the folded space and was about to go back in to find the sorghum.
If Lu Li hadn't spotted them and pulled them back in time, the two rats and one spirit who had finally managed to escape would probably have been knocked back by him.
Then, the reunited fellow disciples resumed their days of killing.
However, compared to before, they were much more cautious this time, not only killing enemies but also paying close attention to their surroundings.
Once they detect any spatial fluctuations, they immediately pull each other back to avoid falling in again.
As they ventured deeper, the number of vengeful spirits decreased, and their pressure lessened considerably.
As they crossed a small hill, the vengeful spirits behind them didn't even dare to chase after them, but just stood there, staring at them with longing in their eyes.
They wanted to leave, but couldn't bear to part with the delicious food they were about to enjoy. Yet, if they didn't leave, they were too afraid to chase after them. They were in a terrible dilemma.
Lu Li and Shushu naturally noticed this obvious anomaly and instantly understood that there was probably something behind the hillside that they were wary of.
Under normal circumstances, they might have taken a different route, but they came in looking for something, and that thing should be in the center, if nothing unexpected happened.
Since they are in the center, they are bound to encounter formidable opponents no matter which direction they go. So why waste time taking a detour?
With this in mind, the fellow disciples abandoned any intention of taking a detour and decided to continue deeper into the area along this path.
Before continuing, Lu Li thought for a moment and put the sweet potato back into his clothes. Then, while remaining vigilant about his surroundings, he carefully walked forward.
They had only walked a few dozen steps when they felt an extremely strong pressure coming from the deeper depths.
Even though Lu Li immediately strengthened her shield and subconsciously protected Shushu, the oppressive aura still impacted her.
Instantly, the millet's blood and qi surged, and it couldn't bear it any longer. It coughed up a mouthful of blood, and its expression also became listless. The whole mouse looked rather weak, which made Lu Li feel very distressed.
He quickly stuffed a pill into the yam, trying to figure out how to retaliate against the oppressive aura that had appeared out of nowhere.
Unexpectedly, the originally menacing pressure disappeared inexplicably.
Immediately afterwards, they heard a loud, excited creaking sound coming from deep within, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble.
Then, a white streak of light appeared in their line of sight and sped toward them.
The light was incredibly fast; in no time, it arrived in front of them and stopped a few steps away.
The next moment, under Lu Li's wary gaze, it slowly revealed its true form, clearly a fully grown treasure-hunting rat.
