Chapter 126

"Squeak!!!"

The Pine-Needle Rat passed through the rain curtain and flew under the huge leaf of the Rain-Falling Guanyin, in front of a box radiating treasure light.

It was extremely excited, never expecting to obtain the treasure so easily.

Breaking through this rainwater didn't seem that difficult in its view.

It only took a moment of influencing this fierce plant from a distance to open a path. The Green Emperor Longevity Art taught by Senior Shen Song was truly worthy of being the nemesis of vegetation!

The Pine-Needle Rat nervously opened the treasure box, then froze, taking out a piece of grass paper filled with flowing treasure light.

The paper read:

"The path of immortal cultivation is not always smooth sailing. What is obtained through hardship may not be opportunities and treasures; there may also be traps."

The next instant, the opened treasure box exploded. Although the power was not great, the insult was extremely high.

Holding the paper that had been blown into ashes, the Pine-Needle Rat spat out a puff of black smoke and stood there blankly, its young heart wounded.

"Hahahaha..." Above the clouds, seeing someone fall for the trap, a group of teachers laughed out loud.

"Which fellow Daoist was it? Setting up a fierce plant trial but not giving any treasure feedback..."

"It seems to be Brother Cao..."

"Ahem..." Cao Ziwei looked down and said with a smile, "A trial is a trial; one must always teach the students the dangers of the cultivation world. However... my original intention was to have them work together to traverse the rain and suffer together. Who knew this squirrel would take the first step..."

"It seems this wood-attribute spirit beast can influence the activities of fierce plants to a certain extent."

"That's fine, too. Lin Jing has obtained so many treasures; let his pet beast suffer a loss on his behalf."

The Pine-Needle Rat disappointedly plucked the Rain-Falling Guanyin and threw it into its storage bag, making the corners of the teachers' mouths twitch.

The rain disappeared. It sighed and was just about to leave when, to its surprise, as the rain dissipated, strands of spiritual sense quickly locked onto it.

"Little squirrel, what treasure did you get inside? Take it out and let us see."

A youth in gorgeous robes looked at the Pine-Needle Rat with a smile.

"That's right, we have been waiting for the rain to stop to take the treasure. You are being very impolite." Another person said.

Although the others did not speak, including Tang Yun of the Heaven's Pride List and Chen Lingxi of the Divine Talisman Sect, they were all locking onto the Pine-Needle Rat. Clearly, they did not intend to let the Pine-Needle Rat take the treasure away easily.

The Pine-Needle Rat froze and opened its mouth slightly, wanting to say there was nothing inside. But seeing the stance of the geniuses around it, the Pine-Needle Rat understood that even if it told the truth, surely no one would believe it.

Three-Pupil Liu Yu, who followed closely behind, and even the Heavenly God Body Wang Xiao, were all staring at the Pine-Needle Rat, believing it had obtained some treasure.

Although it was very clear that there would be no heaven-shaking supreme treasure in the autumn trial that could change one's destiny, curiosity was infinite. Before the type of treasure was clear, no one would give up easily.

"Go!!!" The next instant, someone made a move. The gorgeously robed youth who spoke first threw out a large net, smashing it toward the Pine-Needle Rat.

A magic treasure, the Beast-Trapping Net, made from dragon tendons, had a very strong suppression effect on beast bloodlines!

"Squeak!"

The Pine-Needle Rat was angry and aggrieved.

Being tricked was one thing, but the people outside actually wanted to attack it!

"If there is any treasure, just snatch it back; no need to be polite."

Suddenly, Lin Jing's words flashed fiercely in the Pine-Needle Rat's mind.

Its eyes lit up as it looked at the Beast-Trapping Net. Since these people could snatch its things, then it... could it snatch their things?

After figuring it out, the Pine-Needle Rat's eyes suddenly became scorching hot, ignoring the giant net falling on its body, which stunned everyone... The next second, its tail flicked lightly, and the Beast-Trapping Net was directly sliced open under the red light, causing the youth who threw it to freeze before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Beast-Trapping Net had already been refined by him; the Pine-Needle Rat could not put it directly into its storage bag, so it could only smash the net first, cut off the connection between the two parties, and then put it into the storage bag.

Afterward, the Pine-Needle Rat looked sharply at the gorgeously robed youth, and a red leaf flew toward him like a flying sword!!!

Seeing this, the youth's expression changed, and he immediately fled backward. But the speed of the flying leaf exceeded his imagination, like a red bolt of lightning, passing by him in an instant... What surprised the youth was that this red leaf did not seem to be an attack method; he did not feel the slightest pain.

However, the next second, he noticed something was wrong and quickly felt his body.

He turned his head abruptly, only to see that the Pine-Needle Rat had disappeared from its original spot, and instead stood on the red leaf that had just flown past, holding a storage bag with an excited expression...

When...

"Space magic??" Three-Pupil Liu Yu spoke in confusion. He had captured a trace of spatial fluctuation. Don't tell him that this Foundation Establishment squirrel had just used space magic to teleport over!

"It is space magic!" Wang Xiao, who was on the side, said. He himself... had been ambushed by this squirrel's space magic back then!!!

"Damn it, give me back my storage bag!!!!" With the storage bag gone, the youth who had just wanted to capture the Pine-Needle Rat with the Beast-Trapping Net turned red-eyed and repeatedly emphasized, "Give the storage bag back to me!!!"

The Pine-Needle Rat seemed not to have heard the other party's words. Divine light burst from its pupils, locking onto the next target: Chen Lingxi of the Divine Talisman Sect!!!

It had long wanted to snatch from this fellow Daoist whose storage bag was full of talismans.

"What do you want to do!!!" Seeing the Pine-Needle Rat looking at her, Chen Lingxi was startled and immediately protected her storage bag, not intending to give the Pine-Needle Rat any opportunity. The next instant, a red leaf also flew toward Chen Lingxi!!!

Chen Lingxi gripped her storage bag tightly, her spiritual sense locked firmly onto the red leaf. Just as she wanted to counter, she saw the red leaf disappear before her eyes.

A moment later, the red leaf appeared again, already far away from where she was. At the same time, a spatial rift seemed to appear around Chen Lingxi, and stacks upon stacks of talismans fell out crazily.

In the time it took her to be distracted, a red flash descended, disappeared, and the falling talismans also vanished, leaving Chen Lingxi's brain in chaos. Immediately afterward, her pupils also revealed a light mixed with various emotions of grievance, anger, and confusion.

"Dead squirrel, give them back to me!!"

"My talismans!"

How could the Pine-Needle Rat hang itself on one tree? Red leaves fell like flowers, descending from the sky like rain. One genius after another faced a formidable enemy, and a chill spread up their spines.

"That's enough!!!" Feeling that he had also been targeted, Tang Yun, ranked sixty-sixth on the Heaven's Pride List, who had not yet made a move, descended instantly behind the Pine-Needle Rat holding a Lei Yun Battle Halberd, sweeping toward the Pine-Needle Rat with surging thunder and lightning!!!

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.

However, without even turning its head, the Pine-Needle Rat had countless wooden materials condense in the sky to its right, forming a tree arm. Above the arm was an incomparably huge Buddha palm!

This arm seemed to be the Pine-Needle Rat's external incarnation, with Buddha light flowing and astonishing power.

The Buddha palm condensed into a fist and smashed toward this heaven's pride expert. The Pine-Needle Rat easily replicated the Buddha Dharma: Jin Gang Fist that Lin Jing had learned.

With a boom, the Buddha light pierced through the thunder clouds. As Tang Yun's pupils shrank, he was smashed several hundred meters away, embedded into the mountain body, with only a storage bag falling from his body.

"Pfft..." Tang Yun was smashed away, his internal organs shaken and injured. Liu Yu and Wang Xiao both changed expressions, unable to believe it.

The scene was dead silent. Not to mention why a Pine-Needle Rat wearing a Daoist robe used the Buddhist Jin Gang Subduing Demon Fist, the one it just smashed away was Tang Yun, ranked sixty-sixth on the Heaven's Pride List, with the Cloud-Mist Body?

"What is going on..." Everything that happened in a flash also left the academy teachers, who were still laughing, stunned.

"Why aren't you laughing anymore?" At some point, a pinecone appeared in the sky. It looked down and thought to itself, "The consequence of bullying honest people—we were originally pure and kind, but the world is devoid of Dao!"
