Chapter 126

"Squeak!!!"

The Pine-Leaf 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, not expecting to obtain the treasure so easily.

Breaking through this rainwater did not seem that difficult to it.

Just by influencing this fierce plant from a distance for a moment, it had opened a path. The Green Emperor Longevity Art taught by Senior Divine Pine was truly worthy of being the nemesis of all vegetation!

The Pine-Leaf Rat nervously opened the treasure box, then froze, taking out a piece of grass paper filled with handwriting that exuded treasure light.

The paper read:

"The path of immortal cultivation is not always smooth sailing. What you obtain after experiencing hardships 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-Leaf Rat spat out a puff of black smoke and stood blankly on the spot; its young heart had been hurt.

"Hahahaha..." Above the clouds and mist, a group of teachers laughed out loud upon seeing someone fall for the trick.

"Which fellow Daoist was it? Setting up a fierce plant trial but not giving the person 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 students about the dangers of the immortal cultivation world. However... my original intention was to have them work together to traverse the rain and all get frustrated. 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-Leaf 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, streaks 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 magnificent clothing looked at the Pine-Leaf 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, everyone, including Tang Yun of the Heaven-Gifted List and Chen Lingxi of the Divine Talisman Sect, was locking onto the Pine-Leaf Rat, clearly not intending to let it take the treasure away easily.

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

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

Although they were well aware that there would be no heaven-shaking supreme treasures 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.

"Go!!!" The next instant, someone made a move. The youth in magnificent clothing who spoke first threw out a large net, smashing it toward the Pine-Leaf Rat.

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

"Squeak!"

The Pine-Leaf 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 through the Pine-Leaf Rat's mind.

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

After figuring it out, the Pine-Leaf Rat's eyes suddenly became scorching. It ignored the giant net falling on it, leaving everyone stunned... The next second, its tail flicked lightly, and the Beast-Trapping Net was sliced open directly under the red light, causing the youth who threw it to freeze and then spit out a mouthful of blood.

The Beast-Trapping Net had already been refined by him; the Pine-Leaf Rat could not put it directly into its storage bag and had to smash the net first to cut the connection between the two parties before putting it into its storage bag.

Afterward, the Pine-Leaf Rat looked sharply at the youth in magnificent clothing, 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 streak of red lightning; it passed 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 and saw that the Pine-Leaf Rat had disappeared from its original spot and was instead standing on the red leaf that had just flown past, holding a storage bag with an excited expression...

When...

"Space magic??" Liu Yu of the Three Pupils 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 tried to capture the Pine-Leaf Rat with the Beast-Trapping Net turned red-eyed and repeated, "Give the storage bag back to me!!!"

The Pine-Leaf Rat seemed not to hear 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-Leaf Rat looking at her, Chen Lingxi was startled and immediately protected her storage bag, not intending to give the Pine-Leaf 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 was about to counter, she saw the red leaf disappear before her eyes.

A moment later, the red leaf appeared again, 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 from it.

In the moment she was distracted, a red flash descended and disappeared, and the falling talismans also vanished, leaving Chen Lingxi's brain in chaos. Immediately after, 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-Leaf 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-Gifted List, who had not yet made a move, descended instantly behind the Pine-Leaf Rat holding a Thunder-Cloud Battle Halberd, sweeping toward the Pine-Leaf Rat with monstrous lightning!!!

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.

However, the Pine-Leaf Rat did not even turn its head, and countless wooden materials condensed out of thin air on the right side of the sky, forming a tree arm. Above the arm was a huge Buddha palm!

This arm seemed to be an external incarnation of the Pine-Leaf Rat, exuding Buddha light with astonishing power.

The Buddha palm clenched into a fist and smashed toward this genius; the Pine-Leaf Rat easily replicated the Buddha Dharma: Diamond 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 injured. Liu Yu and Wang Xiao's expressions changed in unison, filled with disbelief.

The scene was dead silent. Not to mention why a Pine-Leaf Rat wearing a Daoist robe used the Buddhist Diamond Subduing Demon Fist, the person it just smashed away was Tang Yun, ranked sixty-sixth on the Heaven-Gifted 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 has no Dao!"
