Realizing someone was chasing them, Shushu put in all her strength.
With speed-up talismans affixed to their bodies and magic boots engraved with speed-up arrays on their feet, they maximized the escape skills of the treasure-hunting rat clan.
To avoid running out of spiritual energy, she swallowed pills while running and took out top-grade spirit stones to hold in her hand, desperately absorbing the spiritual energy inside.
Shushu swore that this was the first time in her life she had ever run away with such all her might, wishing she could grow eighty legs and dart to the ends of the earth.
Unfortunately, the one behind him was also uncivilized. Not only did he chase after people, but he also launched surprise attacks, throwing a blow at them from time to time, leaving Shushu exhausted both physically and mentally.
We must seize the time to escape, avoid attacks from behind, and also dodge the various cultivators, spirit beasts, and combat spirit plants that may appear along the way at any moment.
To put it bluntly, potatoes are practically jumping around in a minefield.
After half a day, Shushu even felt that even if he was lucky enough not to be caught, he would eventually be exhausted to death.
Sure enough, Lu Chu was born with an unlucky face; nothing good ever happened to him.
However, given the current situation, it's impossible for her to change back to her original self or any other image.
After all, there was a powerful being who was like a leech on her back, impossible to shake off once she got on him. She simply didn't have the time or the ability to change her appearance.
Having dodged another attack from behind, Millet decided he had to retaliate somehow.
So, Shushu summoned Tianluo, had it wrap around himself, and started throwing all sorts of things behind him. He didn't need to hit anything; he just wanted to slow down his opponent.
As for herself, she continued her desperate sprint.
Tianluo was also a cunning fellow. He learned the tricks that Shushu had used to deal with Hai'e and kept throwing strange things at his opponent.
For example, there are spiritual plants that cause unbearable itching when touched, medicinal powders that make you laugh nonstop when you get them on, stinky fruit, and the thorny sunflower that has little spiritual power but causes excessive damage, etc.
In short, they don't use any normal logic at all.
Before long, the once elegant and refined powerful cultivator behind him was transformed by it, becoming disheveled and swollen all over.
This person was also very persistent. Under such circumstances, he still chased the millet for most of the day. Only then did the speed of chasing the millet gradually slow down, and the two gradually widened the distance between them.
People unconsciously develop a stress response; whenever they see something being thrown at them, they will subconsciously avoid it.
Meanwhile, Shushu seized the opportunity, having Tianlu throw handfuls of things behind him while simultaneously using several teleportation talismans to finally shake off the person.
She quickly found a secluded spot, and after confirming that there were no people, beasts, or spiritual plants around, she took Tianluo and flew back to her space at top speed.
Upon entering the space, Shushu didn't care about the dirt beneath him and immediately lay down on the ground, breathing heavily, which startled his companions in the space, who all gathered around him.
One gave her pills, and the other fed her spiritual milk, treating her like a special person to be cared for. This made Shushu both amused and exasperated, and she quickly said that she was fine.
Of course, she was actually fine; she had just overexerted herself and was severely depleted of her spiritual energy, leaving her feeling somewhat exhausted.
After resting for a while, she regained her energetic self.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed, some cultivating, some taking a nap, and others going about their own business.
Shushu ignored them and, with a thought, arrived at Gu Borong's side.
At this moment, Gu Borong was placed in a guest room by Shu Yibao and Tianluo. He had woken up, but was still weak. When he saw Shushu come in, he was still wary.
When Shushu met his eyes, she realized that she was still wearing Lu Chu's appearance and hadn't changed back yet.
With a sly smile in his eyes, Shushu didn't say a word. He simply sat down on the stool in the room and quietly looked at the other person without speaking, wanting to see if Gu Borong could figure it out.
As it turns out, Gu Borong was capable.
After their eyes met for the third time, Gu Borong suddenly spoke up: "Are you Little Millet?"
Although there was still some uncertainty, since the other party could guess, Shushu was no longer gloomy and changed back to his original self in front of him.
She has changed somewhat since she left the Rainy Continent, but her features are still very similar.
Looking at the familiar young girl in front of him, Gu Borong's wariness disappeared, replaced by a big smile: "Junior Sister, it's been a long time."
With a smile on his face, Shushu replied, "Yes, it's been a long time, Second Brother."
After the warm greeting, Shushu remembered the scene when she first met him, and his current injured state. Her smile faded slightly, and she looked at Gu Borong with a serious expression.
"Second Senior Brother, how did you get surrounded and attacked by that group of people? And what are all these injuries on your body?" Many of them were a mix of new and old wounds, clearly caused by a lack of timely treatment.
When Gu Borong heard her mention this, an awkward expression flashed across his face.
Then he remembered that she had saved him, and he felt that his image as her senior brother was crumbling. However, he had no intention of hiding it and told her directly.
"I obtained the treasure map of the Wuhua Secret Realm, but I accidentally leaked the news, which is why I'm being hunted down by those people."
This was the first time Shushu had ever heard of a treasure map in the Wuhua Secret Realm, and he was somewhat puzzled: "A treasure map?"
Gu Borong nodded firmly: "Yes, it's a treasure map."
Shushu asked curiously, "Does the treasure map really contain treasure?"
Gu Borong nodded again in affirmation, and then took out the treasure map and handed it to Shushu, implying that she should open it and see for herself.
Although Shushu was curious, he did not reach out to take it. Instead, he waved his hand and refused to look at it: "Second Senior Brother, you found this. I don't think it's appropriate."
Shushu meant it sincerely; she had no intention of coveting her second senior brother's opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Gu Borong smiled again, gently tapped Shushu's head with the scroll in his hand, and then opened it himself: "There's nothing you can't see."
Gu Borong had already opened it, and Shushu's refusal would seem a bit pretentious. So, Shushu hesitated for a moment, but eventually went over anyway.
Then she frowned, because the place depicted on the map was exactly where the blood-red sky had been before.
So, the treasure map they're talking about is there?
What treasure are you referring to? The altar? The Taotie? Or the top-grade spiritual vein beneath it? Is this all there is to it that five Nascent Soul stage experts would fight over? Murder and robbery?
Shushu was completely baffled. Finally, unable to figure it out, he simply asked Gu Borong, "Second Senior Brother, what treasure are you referring to?"
