When Shushu and Luli left Tian Suanzi's thatched hut, both of them had complicated expressions on their faces.
Thinking of the request Tian Suanzi had made, as soon as they returned to the accommodations arranged for them by Tianji Pavilion, Shushu couldn't help but turn to Lu Li and ask, "Senior Brother, can we really find something?"
Lu Li shook his head very sincerely: "I don't know either."
Upon hearing this, Shushu was at a loss for words. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh: "Sigh! What if we can't find the things?"
Seeing the worry and concern on Shushu's face, Lu Li gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "There's nothing we can do if we can't find it. We'll just do our best."
Anyway, what Senior Tian Suanzi said was: he hoped they could help look for it, but he didn't say they absolutely had to find it.
Moreover, he felt that since even the entire Heavenly Mystery Pavilion couldn't find their own treasured artifact, Shushu might not be able to find it either.
Yes, what Tian Suanzi asked for was for Shushu to help him find the octagonal disc, a magical artifact that guards the pavilion.
It is said that their treasured artifact, the Eight-Sided Disc, disappeared along with the previous sect leader when he went to the outer battlefield, leaving no trace of his remains.
If it weren't for the fact that the soul lamp left in the pavilion by the previous pavilion master, Tianjizi, had already been extinguished, they would still think that the other party had simply disappeared, rather than perished.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has sent people to the outer battlefields to search on many occasions, and even the Heavenly Calculator himself has gone there several times.
Even now, some of the inner disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion are still fighting on the battlefield outside the realm, trying their best to find the whereabouts of their former pavilion master and the Eight-Sided Disc.
However, neither he nor the other disciples in the pavilion were able to find this person and this weapon.
Tian Suanzi felt that Shushu was a person with great fortune and excellent luck, and that even the heavens were protecting her, so he wanted to ask Shushu to help him look for her when she went to the battlefield outside the realm.
To be honest, revealing to outsiders that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had lost its treasured artifact was an extremely dangerous thing.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had kept the matter very secret; apart from their important senior members and core disciples, even ordinary disciples were unaware of it.
For some reason, when Tian Suanzi told Shushu about it, he felt particularly at ease, and even had a vague feeling that only Shushu could help them find the octagonal plate.
And so, this matter came to be.
Of course, Tianji Pavilion didn't let Shushu work for nothing. If he really found it, Tianji Pavilion would naturally offer him a generous gift. Even if he didn't find it, Tianji Pavilion would still owe Shushu a favor.
The Tianji Pavilion holds a special position in Daxu territory; their personal connections are far more valuable than resources.
Shushu agreed to the matter out of gratitude, but because of this, she was somewhat conflicted, unsure whether it was appropriate for her to get involved.
Finally, Lu Li, seeing her so distressed, comforted her and led her to roast various kinds of spirit beast meat in the courtyard, which finally diverted Shushu's attention.
As the fragrance gradually spread, the group of millet and its companions, including the treasure-hunting rats, phoenixes, and dragons, who had originally wandered off to who-knows-where, also returned drawn by the scent.
Even some disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were tempted by the rich aroma and unknowingly came to the guest courtyard.
Helpless, Lu Li could only distribute some to everyone.
I only intended to let everyone have a taste, but after everyone ate it, their eyes lit up, and they stared intently at the remaining meat, practically drooling.
Later, somehow it turned into a large barbecue party, and everyone left only when they were completely stuffed.
As for the mythical beasts, they transformed into their original forms and spread out all over the spacious courtyard.
Shushu didn't have much desire for the dragon and phoenix races, but after seeing a large group of cute white fluffy balls, her fluffy desire immediately kicked in.
First, disregarding seniority, it went around patting each of them, and finally, it turned into a fluffy white ball itself and excitedly joined the pile of fluffy things.
As we all know, most furry creatures are restless and naturally active, either rolling around on the ground or frolicking on the roof.
So, a bunch of furry little creatures rolled around in a ball, nudging each other and having a great time.
Seeing the treasure-hunting rats having so much fun, the dragons and phoenixes nearby exchanged glances, as if they had discovered a new continent.
Forget about being reserved and having a mortal enemy next to them, they excitedly joined the group, rolling around in a ball, laughing and joking.
The entire courtyard was instantly filled with laughter, some as clear as silver bells, others as loud as barbells.
Lu Li, standing to the side, could only watch helplessly as he rubbed his temples. To prevent them from embarrassing themselves in front of the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he thoughtfully added a barrier to them.
After all the commotion, my stomach, which had been so full, was almost completely digested.
Bathed in the warm sun, the beasts couldn't help but feel drowsy, their eyelids drooping, looking as if they could fall asleep at any moment.
Soon, the first soft, even breathing sounded, followed by a second and a third, and Shushu also fell asleep.
"Snoring!"
However, just as she fell asleep, a thunderous snoring sound suddenly rose from the ground, instantly waking her up.
More accurately, it was this muffled thunder-like sound that successfully startled all the beasts.
They looked at each other blankly, while the culprit, Long Yi, was still fast asleep, snoring away and creating a series of muffled thunderous sounds.
Long Peng was a bit grumpy from being woken up, so she went over and gave him a swipe of her claws without any hesitation. Unexpectedly, the guy was thick-skinned and didn't even open his eyes. He just turned over and continued snoring.
The others had no choice but to roll their eyes at him and go back to their rooms to meditate.
Before leaving, many of them, still angry, went over and slapped him one by one, but the guy showed no signs of waking up at all and continued to sleep soundly.
Even Shushu was a little suspicious that it was faking it, but when she went over to take a look, it really was sleeping soundly, without any sign of being fake.
There was nothing the millet and potato could do but admit defeat and retreat.
Meanwhile, deep within the enemy camp on the outer battlefield, a team composed of human and beast souls, unconventional soldiers, and rare treasures finally found an opportunity to escape.
However, they were discovered by the enemy shortly after escaping the cage that had imprisoned them.
The enemy army, with thousands of troops, is now aggressively surrounding them.
As more and more friendly units fell, everyone went into a frenzy of fighting, with many even choosing to self-destruct and perish together with their enemies.
For a moment, the narrow passage was filled with the smell of blood, the sounds of battle, and the howling wind as it passed through, as if lamenting the loss of life and expressing a helpless sorrow.
