"Master, Second Junior Brother, is there any news about Junior Sister?"
Upon seeing the person, Lu Li didn't even bother with pleasantries and immediately began asking about Shushu.
His eyes were anxious, and his tone was anxious, leaving Liu Yu and Gu Borong, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, neither the master nor the apprentice were clingy by nature. They quickly realized what was happening, their expressions returned to normal, and they explained the situation to him in detail.
Knowing that he still hadn't found his junior sister, Lu Li couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Even though he knew his master and the others had searched the entire area, he still stubbornly went and went anyway.
After searching the entire area without finding a single mouse hair, he had no choice but to accept reality. With a long sigh, he decided to leave and set off with Liu Yu and the others back to the Liuyue Sect.
Before setting off, he didn't forget to send an urgent order to his employer: to find the whereabouts of the millet.
He always felt that the millet and potatoes should have returned to the Dawei border, but he didn't know where.
Remembering what Gu Borong said—that Shushu had advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage and would definitely face a lightning tribulation upon emerging—Lu Li's worries inevitably intensified.
Even though he knew that the lightning tribulation would cause almost no damage to the millet, he couldn't help but worry, fearing that something might go wrong.
Little did he expect that the little potato he had been so worried about had already been reunited with its family and returned to the territory of the treasure-hunting rat clan.
Meanwhile, Shushu was living a very comfortable life in the tribe, receiving a warm welcome wherever he went.
Not only can they receive all kinds of feeding, but they also have endless fluffy creatures to pet. It's no exaggeration to say that they are a paradise for plush toy lovers. Moreover, they are the kind that are obedient and can communicate.
Over the course of several days, Shushu lingered there, so much so that she didn't even remember that her master and senior brothers were still outside, let alone that they were anxiously searching for her everywhere.
She leaves early and returns late every day, and there is no place in the entire clan's territory that she hasn't been.
She even took them to visit the secluded chambers of those old ancestors and the secret place of the treasure-hunting rats.
She also managed to snag a lot of great items from the space, making it a very rewarding experience. Not only her, but all her friends in the space were all beaming with joy.
Of course, she also learned a lot about the treasure-hunting rat clan.
For example, not all rats living in their clan's territory had their treasure-hunting talents successfully activated.
Talents are extremely difficult to activate. Of the nearly one hundred treasure-hunting rats in the entire clan territory, only eleven, including her, have truly activated their talents.
Of these eleven, besides the four ancestral figures, there are also the four ancient figures, Shu Chi Shu Mo Shu Qiu Shu Heng.
Her father was Shuli, her mother was Shumai, her grandfather was Shuye, her second grandfather was Shucai, as well as her sister Shule who gave her the Enlightenment Tree, and another brother named Shufei.
All other treasure-hunting rats failed to activate their talents.
This also shows that treasure-hunting rats are extremely rare, and millet is very precious to the entire treasure-hunting rat family.
Besides the innate love that the divine beast clan has for their bloodline descendants, everyone also has high hopes for the future of the treasure-hunting rat clan.
However, whether they are treasure-hunting rats with activated bloodlines or not, they are all family rats, and loving each other is their nature.
In addition, as the clan leader, Shuye was fair and just, and the Treasure-Seeking Rat clan also had clan rules and prohibitions, so there were no dissents among the clan members.
Over the years, apart from the millet and wheat that have been persistently searching for millet and potatoes, the other treasure-hunting mice have never given up their search either.
Even now, many rats are still running around in search of millet and potatoes.
However, from the moment Shushu stepped into the tribe's territory, Shuye had already used the tribe's secret method to contact everyone and inform them of this good news.
It is believed that soon, the rats who received the news will all rush back to see the youngest offspring of their clan.
Because under the millet and potato, apart from an unhatched egg, there were no other offspring.
The yam was curious and even went to see the unhatched egg.
According to Egg's parents, this little guy, who they don't know if he's a cousin or a younger cousin, will not hatch for nearly a thousand years.
In other words, for the next thousand years, millet and potatoes will be the youngest and oldest members of the tribe.
Shushu is very excited and fond of the baby, and will visit it every few days to bond with it, hoping that the little one will be close to her more after it is born.
However, she only went a few times before she ran out of time to go because she had to go to the incubation pool.
Yes, you read that right, it's the hatching pool, and also the place where the treasure-hunting rats temper their cubs' bodies.
Originally, once the millet and sweet potatoes were shelled, they should have been soaked here for a year or two.
However, because she was stolen by thieves while she was still in the egg, and her shell was broken on the Rainy Continent, she naturally did not enjoy the treatment of the incubation pool.
Although the millet was eventually tempered by the phoenix fire, it successfully activated its talent, received its inheritance, and opened its internal space.
She seems to be fine now, but the elders are still worried. They checked her over one by one, and after discussing it for a long time, they still think it's best to let her go back and soak in the warm water.
Anyway, the hatching pool is something that the treasure-hunting rat can't possibly ruin.
So, the mature glutinous rice, surrounded by the ancestors and clansmen, awkwardly stepped into the incubation pool.
The hatching pool was very large; even when the entire sorghum was submerged inside, it only took up a tiny bit of space.
The pool water is milky white, and it is said that it was created by the ancestor of the treasure-hunting rat clan, who painstakingly created it based on the clan's constitution.
After several generations of improvements, the current incubation pool is now the most suitable for treasure-hunting mice.
The pool water was warm, and after soaking in it for a short while, Shushu sighed comfortably, stretched out his limbs, and floated in the water, feeling completely relaxed.
Whether it was the medicine taking effect or not, half an hour later, Shushu started to feel his eyelids getting heavy and he felt sleepy.
At the same time, it seemed as if a voice from ancient times could be heard in one's ears: "Child, sleep, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."
The sound was long and melodious, full of gentleness and comfort. Under its influence, Shushu fell asleep almost without any resistance.
Almost the instant she fell asleep, a burst of golden light erupted from the depths of the pool.
The light stretched upwards, slowly forming a giant cocoon around the yam, completely enveloping it.
In a short while, the yam disappeared from the spot, leaving only a giant golden egg.
The rats watching from the shore couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
After a long silence, a shocked and trembling voice finally rang out: "It's the awakening of the ancestral bloodline."
