Chapter 6442 Spreading Soil

Luo Bi struck with his hoe: "Scrap millet rat."

The rat's head immediately bled, and it squeaked and cursed loudly.

Zhu Xingrong also tried to chop at another millet rat, but missed. The other millet rat cursed back. Luo Bi thought the millet rats weren't very strong, but then he hit the millet rat with a hoe and it got really angry. The millet rat, with its head bleeding, jumped to the side and swung its claw.

Seeing that stance, Luo Bi instinctively dodged.

Zhu Xingrong and the little fireball couldn't dodge. A handful of sand was thrown at them. Zhu Xingrong let out a cry, spitting out saliva with half-closed eyes. He had eaten dirt. The situation then turned around.

Two furry millet rats emerged from the ground one handful at a time and scattered them. Luo Bi, Zhu Xingrong, and Wen Jiaxiaohuoqiu turned and ran. Luo Bi was slow, and Zhu Xingrong was anxious.

Amidst the swirling dust, the child turned around, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

Hey?

Surprisingly, millet was growing all around, in clumps. Who was Luo Bi? She was a master of plucking feathers from passing geese. As she ran, she didn't forget to bend down and grab a handful of millet. The millet wasn't deeply rooted, and Luo Bi pulled down a few stalks.

The millet mouse was in a panic; it had planted millet!

The millet rat was frantically throwing dirt behind it. Luo Bi squinted, aiming at the millet stalks and pulling them down haphazardly. If she could pull them down, she would grab a handful; if not, she would just let it go.

Seeing this, Zhu Xingrong followed suit and started running in circles while pulling millet.

Before long, unable to hold on any longer, Luo Bi waved her hand and said, "Let's retreat."

Wen Jia's little fireball ran away quickly, Zhu Xingrong brought up the rear, and Luo Bi ran in the middle. She couldn't pull the millet smoothly, and it kept falling as she ran. Luo Bi's team was chased for half a mile by the two millet rats, who were cursing and swearing.

After the millet rats went back, Luo Bi was panting heavily. She found a place to sit down and rest: "Damn it, they covered me in dirt. I got ripped off. I actually got chased by two damn millet rats."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Zhu Xingrong spat with a grin, holding a bundle of millet, and grinned: "I grabbed a bundle of millet."

Luo Bi also grabbed a handful, but she was weak and couldn't pull some off. She couldn't pull as many as Zhu Xingrong. Despite her gains, Luo Bi wasn't happy at all. It was too unfair of the little rat to scatter dirt.

"Ptooey, ptooey..." Luo Bi spat, his teeth grinding.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." the little fireball spat out.

The team returned dejectedly, covered in dirt. Little Fireball ran into Zhu Xingrong's small basket. When they left the mountains and returned to the foot of the mountain, some women and children saw Luo Bi and Zhu Xingrong carrying millet and were actually envious.

"Where did you harvest them from?" the child asked.

Zhu Xingrong hadn't lied yet when Luo Bi pointed to the mountain range: "Mountain range."

The women were disappointed; they dared not enter the mountains. The children glanced at the mountains and also gave up the idea. However, they could go home and tell the Thunderflame Warriors so that they could harvest the crops.

"What location?" a woman asked.

Luo Bi glanced at her sideways and ignored her. Wei Hu and Zhu Xingzhi ran over. Seeing that they were covered in dirt, they didn't care. Compared to encountering a powerful beast, what did being covered in dirt matter? Wei Hu was very happy with the millet he had harvested.

Wei Tuo and Zhu Xingzhi reached out and took the millet. Seeing that it was noon, the group went back.

Luo Bi was furious, feeling cheated by the dust. After returning home, Wei Tu spread out the millet to dry, and Zhu Xingrong took a bath and went to the kitchen to cook, making mushroom soup and steaming wild vegetables.

Luo Bi felt a gritty sensation in her teeth and rinsed her mouth several times, while Little Fireball also spat.

Whenever Luo Bi had free time, she would spread out millet to dry, turning it over and over again, until it was completely dry by lunchtime. (End of Chapter)
