In this environment where not a sliver of light is afforded, "chatting" is the Golden-haired Rat race's only form of entertainment.
This spirit of finding joy in hardship is also the magical treasure that has helped them endure countless years of suffering.
Of course, during their chats, someone always takes turns at the door to prevent any inappropriate conversations from being overheard by outsiders.
Lately, a group of big mice love to gather around Huang Yingying, listening to him talk about the outside world, and Huang Yingying has not disappointed them, appearing very worldly and knowledgeable. His vivid descriptions of love and romance opened the eyes of these big mice.
Moreover, Huang Yingying often says that someone will come to rescue him, that he will ask them to help save his people too, making the big mice yearn even more and love listening to his stories.
After all, there isn't much happiness here, and no mouse can weave a tale as charming as Huang Yingying's.
The door of the cave prison is not locked, but not a single Golden-haired Rat dares to escape.
Because they know escaping is impossible; they might flee this cliff, but they can't escape the grand formation set by their ancestors. If any Golden-haired Rat is discovered missing, all the clan members trapped here will suffer extremely harsh punishment. The punishment is very severe...
After accompanying Qiu Ben back to the Extreme Fire Sect's resting place, Po Yuan headed towards the main peak. On a secondary peak of the main mountain, he saw Commander Feng Jue in golden armor practicing with a spear.
Catching sight of Po Yuan's figure, the spear shadows danced like dragons and phoenixes in a seamless flow before he concluded his routine. Leaning the spear against the ground, Feng Jue asked, "What's the matter?"
After stepping forward to clasp his fists in salute, Po Yuan reminded, "Sir, Granny Qi and her group are roaming freely on the mountain, and those from the Extreme Fire Sect can also wander around. Is this appropriate? I have a feeling something isn't right."
Feng Jue scoffed, "What could go wrong? You're worrying unnecessarily. Go back and rest early."
Po Yuan hesitated for a moment, ultimately said nothing more, gave a slight bow, and took his leave.
In fact, he knew this would likely be the outcome; this Commander considers himself to be from the Divine Clan, too proud. Po Yuan merely wanted to prove his foresight in case of any mishap.
This foresight, he wished even more to express it in front of the Goddess, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the right opportunity to speak...
At the North District Central, Jiang You'er entered, went upstairs, and kneeled beside Huang Ye, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and reported, "Master, over at the Extreme Fire Sect, after Qiu Ben visited Yishuo, he arranged for a few people to lie in ambush around it."
Huang Ye slightly opened his eyes and snorted, "It seems they truly believed Po Yuan's nonsense, targeting Huang Yingying. Shi Chun and the others are outside, not on the mountain, so it shouldn't be aimed at Shi Chun. It seems they're even eyeing Granny Qi's group, watching and waiting."
Jiang You'er nodded in agreement.
In a remote corner of the mountain, Wu Jinliang was guarding a pile of A Xun's relics, picking them up one by one, trying various ways to compare them against the void. An uninformed observer would surely think he was crazy, but Wu Jinliang himself was thoroughly enjoying it.
Shi Chun, occasionally glancing over, didn't bother with him, continuing to observe and keep watch over the surroundings when suddenly, he stared into the distant night sky and slowly stood up.
When midnight arrived, the scene he wanted to validate unfolded as expected.
In the distant sky, a golden meteor illuminating the hazy world arrived, flying in precisely from the angle he had chosen.
Like an ancient golden dragon, the meteor quickly met resistance above, a breathtaking wave of shock, like an ancient silent hymn.
An invisible arc firmly blocked the golden meteor, causing it to wave in a magnificent brilliance across the arc, before surging once more into the mysterious depths of the void.
Occasionally, the occasional stray gold light slipped through the invisible arc, truly resembling a sparse meteor shower rushing toward the mountain where they stood.
When the golden meteors struck the mountain, there was no motion, passing as if unnoticed, slicing through it, stopping only upon reaching the shadow of a Reversing Soul Tree.
There were also Reversing Soul Trees on this side of the mountain that got hit, the tremor of the struck Reversing Soul Trees violently shaking, the gold light that crashed into the tree instantly donating its most brilliant display to the Reversing Soul Tree, quickly merging its life light into the tree, burning itself out in a flash, leaving nothing behind.
These scenes left Shi Chun looking back and forth, his eyes suddenly widening because he saw a stream of golden light heading straight for him.
The swift speed made it impossible to dodge upon discovery; instinctively he used magic to resist, yet the golden light passed through his Bath Demon Skill protection unobstructed, and passed through his flesh unharmed.
He quickly turned his head, seeing the golden light crash into the Reversing Soul Tree behind him, the tree quivering, the light disappearing inside.
Yet a scent suddenly intensified and spread, making one feel invigorated.
This scene made Shi Chun, taking a deep breath, realize that he was right. The increase in fragrance on the Divine Mountain at midnight was indeed related to this golden meteor shower.
Wu Jinliang, unaware of what happened, was engrossed in finding ways to use A Xun's relics, but couldn't help twitching his nose slightly, looking around. Seeing Shi Chun's reaction, he couldn't help but ask quietly, "So, did it come?"
Shi Chun nodded slightly, "That's right, it's related to that."
Wu Jinliang looked around, fine, he couldn't see anything. Anyway, he had heard the rough narrative from Shi Chun before, and with nothing to trouble his mind, he continued his own activities.
