The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1123: This is too hard for me

Xiao Han patted Shui Wuhen's back with her cat paw.

"Mice eat meat too, right? Don't worry, if you follow me from now on, I guarantee you'll have meat to eat every day."

Thinking back, Shui Wuhen was always the big shot, and I always relied on him for protection.

The wheel of fortune turns, and now it's her turn to completely crush the other party.

hahaha~~~

Xiao Han was overjoyed. She waved her hand—no, she waved her cat paw—and said, "This weasel is yours. I'll go hunt some more."

After saying that, he leaped a few times and disappeared into the darkness.

Shui Wuhen sniffed the lingering stench in the air, glanced at the weasel carcass on the ground, and finally resigned himself to drag the weasel into another nearby burrow.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, but he, like a cunning rat, has five. He has dug quite a few burrows in this area, all of which are very well disguised.

It can serve as both a granary and a passageway for escaping in critical moments.

At this moment, Xiao Han was wandering in the dark mountain forest.

Night owls, night owls—this shows that felines are most energetic at night.

As a lynx that can run fast on the ground and climb trees when necessary, she is basically not in much danger as long as she is careful.

Then, Xiao Han, who was wandering around, caught another mouse.

Perhaps due to Shui Wuhen's influence, Xiao Han even tried to inquire about it using her mental perception after capturing it this time.

"Are you a cultivator here to complete a mission?"

However, the mouse at her feet was just an ordinary mouse, so it naturally couldn't respond to her using telepathy.

Then, Xiao Han bit the mouse to death and ate it.

She was hungry and had no interest in playing cat and mouse games.

This mouse had no water or fertilizer, so Xiao Han only ate half full.

However, she wasn't going to hunt tonight; she had to go back and check if the mother lynx had eaten the hare she had brought back.

If the female lynx stops chasing her away because of the food, then she has achieved her goal.

Although she now has Shui Wuhen to keep her company and chat with, she still feels, as a human, that the mother lynx raised her and she has to repay her.

When Xiao Han ran back to the mother lynx's den, she saw that the mother lynx had already eaten the rabbit.

Xiao Han ran over and acted affectionately towards the mother lynx. Sure enough, this time, the mother lynx didn't shoo her away harshly, and even licked her fur as before.

Xiao Han slept peacefully in the nest, and the next day, she went to find Shui Wuhen again.

Weasel meat could last for at least two or three days, so Shui Wuhen didn't go out to forage and stayed home waiting for Xiao Han to come over.

Sure enough, I heard that familiar call again.

On a branch, a crow watched in astonishment as a mountain mouse chased after a lynx.

It had seen lynxes chase mountain mice many times, but this was the first time it had seen a mountain mouse running after a lynx.

Is this mountain rat so scared that it can't even run away?

So surprised was the crow that it continued to fly behind, wanting to see how the mountain rat fared.

Xiao Han and Shui Wuhen were planning to continue moving walnuts.

Lynxes don't like to eat walnuts, but mountain rats do, so naturally she wants to help Shui Wuhen stock up on more.

The two decided to make the same leaf-shaped pouch as yesterday to hold the walnuts.

Shui Wuhen started working on making leaf pouches just like yesterday, while Xiao Han happily squatted down and watched.

Just then, a gray wolf wandered over and inadvertently spotted the lynx and the mountain rat.

Oh dear, I could have a good meal from either of these two prey.

The gray wolf immediately took advantage of the terrain to stealthily approach this side.

The crow, which had been perched on a low branch watching the cat and mouse, was so frightened by the sight of the gray wolf that it hurriedly flapped its wings and flew to a higher tree.

The commotion immediately startled Xiao Han.

She turned her head and saw the big gray wolf not far away.

Startled, Xiao Han grabbed Shui Wuhen, who was still busy making a pouch, and quickly ran towards a large tree not far away.

When a gray wolf sees its prey trying to escape, it naturally gives chase.

With Shui Wuhen in her mouth, Xiao Han couldn't run very fast at all. Fortunately, there were many trees in the forest, and she quickly ran to a big tree and climbed up it in a flash.

I found a spot on a branch to steady myself, and only then did I have time to look down and see what was happening below.

With Shui Wuhen held in her mouth, her body suspended in mid-air, she could only pray that Xiao Han's teeth wouldn't ache at that moment as she looked down at the gray wolf with its mouth agape.

The big gray wolf looked up at the two prey in the tree, drool dripping from its mouth. Then it tentatively jumped up, trying to see if it could reach its prey.

Even if we can't catch it, it would be great if we could make the lynx drop the fat rat from its mouth in fright.

Shui Wuhen was also afraid that Xiao Han might accidentally make him fall, so he immediately used his mind to say, "Why don't you put me on a tree branch and I'll hold on to it carefully myself?"

Mice can climb walls, so of course they can climb trees too.

Xiao Han thought about it for a moment. She was indeed very tired from carrying Shui Wuhen in her mouth, so she decided to put it down.

He immediately moved his body slowly, found a tree branch, and waited until Shui Wuhen had a firm grip before slowly letting go of her mouth.

As Shui Wuhen felt the pain in his back, he suddenly realized that being a rat was indeed a bit miserable.

The gray wolf saw the cat and mouse perched in the tree, circling the trunk and occasionally leaping.

Unfortunately, neither of the two creatures in the tree was scared enough to fall down.

The gray wolf tried for a long time, but to no avail.

It simply lay down under the tree and kept watch.

Xiao Han and Shui Wuhen each lay on a branch of a tree, not too tired.

Xiao Han: "Do you think we have any way to turn the tables?"

Shui Wuhen: "With our current strength, don't even think about such a good thing. Just stay on the tree and wait for it to give up and leave on its own."

Xiao Han retorted, "We are intelligent humans."

Shui Wuhen: "Alright then, clever human, think of a way to fight back."

Xiao Han:.......

I'm hoping you can come up with some brilliant ideas, aren't I?

The two men chatted idly while perched in the tree. In the end, the gray wolf couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at them a few times, then turned and left.

Xiao Han and her companion, positioned high above, watched as the big bad wolf wandered far away before climbing down the tree.

"If the big bad wolf returns or goes back to call its companions, that would be bad. We'd better hurry back."

Shui Wuhen also felt that it would be best to leave this place for the time being.

Of course, we can't just go back empty-handed.

So the two ran to the walnut tree, each picked up a walnut and ran towards Waterless's nest.

Halfway there, Xiao Han caught the scent of a female lynx.

She quickly spat out the walnut from her mouth, meowed, and greeted the mother lynx.

She had to tell the mother lynx that there was a big gray wolf nearby and that she should be careful.

Shui Wuhen sensed something was wrong when he heard Xiao Han's cry.

When he spotted an even larger lynx running towards him, he was caught in a dilemma: whether to stop or run.

Xiao Han was still happily welcoming the mother lynx when she noticed the mother lynx had passed her, pounced, and pinned Shui Wuhen down.

pinned down by the mother lynx's claws, Shui Wuhen could only sigh inwardly, "This is too hard for me!"
