"Whoosh~ Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
As the sound of something cutting through the air drew closer, Shushu finally saw clearly that countless branches and vines were piercing through the forest ahead, so many that Shushu almost developed trypophobia.
"Clang clang clang!"
Seeing the approaching vines, Rat One, which was blocking the way, quickly pulled out a pair of swords from its belly, gripping the hilt of one sword with each of its left and right paws.
These twin swords were clearly custom-made for Rat One Treasure. As soon as Rat One Treasure grasped the twin swords, he instantly unleashed a dense flurry of swordplay, deflecting all the rushing vines.
It was just a miss; Rat One's twin blades did not cause any real damage to the vines.
The point where the two objects clashed produced a screeching sound, as if they had struck a piece of metal of the same material.
And those vines that had just been knocked off course quickly returned.
Not only that, but there were also endless vines coming from behind, their target very clear: the millet and sweet potatoes behind Shu Yibao.
Shushu also realized that the vines were targeting her. Seeing them bypassing Shu Yibao and heading towards her, seemingly trying to trap her, she didn't think twice and directly took out a handful of Thunderfire Talismans from her inner space, activated them, and threw them at the vines.
"Crackling and popping, hissing!"
Instantly, the sounds of lightning striking and flames burning rang out.
Every single one of the lightning and fire talismans that Shushu threw out missed its mark; they all played their role. First, a bolt of lightning stunned the vines, and then the flames that ignited burned the leaves.
In short, all the vines that tried to sneak around and attack the millet and sweet potatoes turned into a dark, lush line, which looked particularly striking to the rats' eyes.
The scene here also startled the other vines that were being constantly whipped away by Rat One Treasure, yet still rushing towards them.
They looked at their comrades who had tried to launch a sneak attack but were ultimately taught a lesson, and their true forms were no longer discernible.
In an instant, the vines that hadn't been hit by the lightning and fire talisman hesitated. They looked at their own lush green leaves in a very human way, and then compared them to their dark-skinned counterparts that even their own parents wouldn't recognize.
The crisp vines, just like that, disappeared in a flash, leaving Shushu and Shuyibao dumbfounded. They were so fast that Shushu didn't even have time to call for them to stop.
Before long, only the charred vines remained hanging in mid-air in front of the yam, seemingly as startled as the yam itself.
"Hey, do you still want to fight? I still have some Thunderfire Talismans here, which should be able to darken your place even further."
Looking at the long, black strips in front of him, which seemed to be petrified, Shushu thought for a moment, then took out a stack of Thunderfire Talismans and waved them at them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The next second, the vines disappeared as quickly as if their backsides were on fire. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone. The speed was much faster than when they came over. It was incomparable.
"They've all left."
Finally, Shushu looked at the empty space in front of her, pursed her lips, and thought, "So easily scared. I thought there would be another explosion."
To be honest, the Thunderfire Talisman given by my sixth uncle is quite useful. Even a weakling like her only needs a little spiritual energy to activate its full power. It's practically a lucky star for countless low-level cultivators.
The effect was truly remarkable. The vines that even the twin swords of the Rat One's claws couldn't cut through were easily destroyed by his Thunderfire Talisman.
It seems she'll have to visit her sixth uncle's talisman peak when she gets back and exchange some more talismans with him. Shushu secretly made a mental note of this.
Then she looked at the place where the vines disappeared, and her innate skill as a member of the treasure-hunting rat clan—treasure hunting—was activated, and it was a very strong one at that.
“Come on, Yibao, let’s go check out their base camp.”
So, after only a moment's hesitation, the little potato decided to go and climbed onto the little rat's shoulder in a few swift movements, and began to give orders in a proud and imposing manner.
"Alright, let's go!"
"ah!"
As soon as Shushu heard that he was going to find the green vines, Shubao's puppet rat eyes lit up. Without even noticing whether Shushu was sitting properly, he darted away a long way.
Then, the sweet potato just flipped upside down and fell right off her.
If it weren't for Shushu's quick reflexes in summoning the butterfly flying artifact she had put away when entering the secret realm, she would probably have already made close contact with the ground by now.
By the time Shushu finally managed to control the butterfly flying artifact and fly into the air, Shu Yibao had already disappeared.
Shushu glanced at the environment, which was nothing but green plants, and could only sigh helplessly. He slowly followed the contract with Shuyibao and flew at a moderate altitude.
At the same time, I couldn't help but complain in my heart about how unreliable Shu Yibao was. The weight on my shoulder was gone, didn't it feel anything?
Mouse Yibao didn't feel anything. It did hear a short scream when it jumped, but it didn't pay any attention to it.
After all, being a puppet, it only had a limited intelligence that had just emerged. Without hearing what the little potato said, it never thought that its little master had been thrown away by her.
Right now, it is running and jumping excitedly in the woods, remembering its little master's command: to find the headquarters of the plants that attacked them.
Mouse One was very fast, and it didn't take long for it to spot its target.
"Little master, I found it! I found the tree! Oh, where's my little master? Where did my big little master go? Waaah, my little master, wah~"
After finding its target, Mouse One instinctively wanted to share the news with its little owner, and then it saw an empty shoulder. Its little owner was gone!
In an instant, Little Rat sat down on the ground and started wailing.
After crying several times, Little Mouse finally remembered that it needed to find the glutinous rice. It nimbly got up from the ground and started running back.
Fortunately, she was still quite sharp and knew to look back.
Because the sorghum was also heading this way, the rat and the puppet, who were traveling in opposite directions, soon met each other.
As soon as the little mouse saw the sweet potato, it excitedly pounced on it, shoveling food into its mouth and saying, "Waaah, little master, I've finally found you! I thought you were missing again."
After saying that, he pulled the sweet potato into his arms, as if worried that it would disappear.
Even the simmering millet and sweet potato, no matter how angry they were, all vanished after seeing this.
Oh well, it's her own rat. It can farm, fight, dig up spiritual plants for her, and keep her company.
After some more self-consolation, the potato stopped sulking, and the mouse and the puppet made up.
Perhaps because the unexpected return of the lost item stimulated Shu Yibao, Shu Yibao paid extra attention to Shushu afterward, and no further accidents occurred.
And so, they arrived safely at the green plant that had attacked them earlier.
