Chapter 168: Are We Going to Challenge Above Our Level?
After cooperating several more times, Guagua and Xiao Bai gradually developed a tacit understanding, and Guagua’s route-planning became faster and faster.
They spent two days sweeping up all the good things on Azure Dragon Mountain before moving on to White Tiger Mountain.
White Tiger Mountain had many steep slopes and sheer cliffs, making it more dangerous than the other three mountains. Its scenery was also vastly different from the White Tiger Mountain in the Lesser Four Symbols Mountains.
Si Er couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
Why are all the competition venues named Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Mountain? Aren’t they afraid people will get confused?
Or are the seniors who built these venues just terrible at naming things? Couldn’t they think of anything beyond these four names?
[Er’er, you’ve hit the truth. It’s exactly as you think.]
Ah… I didn’t actually want to guess correctly. This feels like zero sense of achievement.
After entering White Tiger Mountain, Xiao Bai discovered even more treasures.
Because the terrain was so treacherous, there were many good things people normally couldn’t reach.
But Xiao Bai didn’t care about that. It was just an ordinary Treasure-Seeking Mouse—with a slight defect.
It simply pointed out the locations of the treasures and left everything else to Guagua.
This time, however, even Guagua had a headache.
“Er’er, I want that light-attribute lingzhi. It’s a huge tonic for me, for Cui Cui, for Mianmian, and Mengmeng.”
“It’s also great for you, Er’er.”
“And?” Si Er asked. “Is it hard to pick?”
“Super, super, super hard.”
Guagua couldn’t help sighing.
“That lingzhi grows halfway up the highest and steepest cliff on White Tiger Mountain.”
“That part is actually manageable. Yu Bei Eagle and Second Brother’s Qingfeng can fly up there.”
“But the beasts surrounding it are no joke!”
Si Er grew curious. “There’s a whole circle of beasts around it?”
“Yes! Light-attribute heavenly treasures are extremely rare. Aside from dark-attribute beasts, almost all beasts can consume it.”
“At worst, they just won’t absorb it as efficiently. But even absorbing half is amazing!”
“That half is equivalent to many other heavenly treasures they’d have to search for.”
“So as that light-attribute lingzhi matured, it attracted many beasts. They all dug dens around it.”
“Below the lingzhi live two thousand-year Flamefire Snakes, both fifth-tier.”
“Above it live two fifth-tier Pandas, each over 500 years old.”
“One is metal-attribute, the other earth-attribute.”
“To the left is a pride of Cloud-Swallowing Lions. The strongest one is fifth-tier and has three fourth-tier wives.”
Si Er couldn’t help sighing. “Impressive. It even has three wives.”
Guagua nodded. “Yeah, very impressive. And when it attacks us, it’ll bring all three wives along.”
Si Er laughed. “Don’t think of it that way. Maybe before they attack us, they’ll start fighting their neighbors first?”
Guagua nodded. “That’s possible. But then we won’t get the lingzhi.”
Si Er sighed. “Then forget it. Good neighbors are nice, but life is more important.”
“If we lose our lives, what’s the point of treasures?”
“We’ll talk about such heavenly treasures after our strength improves.”
Guagua looked unwilling. “Are we really giving up? I think we can still plot for it.”
Si Er shook his head. “Forget it. We’re all third-tier here. Classmate Lu isn’t even third-tier yet. Let’s not go courting death.”
“The three groups you just mentioned are already strong. And you’re not finished, are you?”
Guagua nodded. “Right. To the right of the lingzhi is a pair of wild Gold-Seeking Tigers. Slightly better—they’re monogamous.”
Si Er: “……”
He felt like Guagua was becoming more and more humorous.
Guagua continued, “Further diagonally right is a pair of leopards, also monogamous. Both big cat couples are fifth-tier.”
“All big cats, yet that lion is such a scumbag—three wives!”
Guagua couldn’t help complaining, then suddenly felt something was off. This didn’t seem like the right moment for commentary.
Still, it didn’t think this was its fault. It blamed Si Er.
Before meeting Si Er, it hadn’t been good at complaining at all.
Si Er was speechless. “Any other neighbors?”
“Yes. But the rest are fourth- and third-tier, so not as impressive.”
Si Er replied dryly, “Have you considered that we might not even beat fourth-tier ones?”
Guagua shook its head. “I think we can handle fourth-tier. They’re not as physically strong as we are.”
“Second Brother’s potions can knock out fourth-tier beasts.”
“Xuanxuan is also good at challenging above his level. So fourth-tier is definitely fine.”
“As for third-tier, even less of a problem. I think I could knock out two with one punch.”
Si Er rubbed his forehead. “You’re quite confident.”
Guagua said seriously, “Er’er, trust me. My calculations aren’t wrong.”
So the topic circled back again.
“And what about the fifth-tier ones?” Si Er asked. “We can’t handle fifth-tier, right?”
Guagua thought for a moment. “Actually, I think we can. Physically, we’re slightly weaker—but your soul power is already fifth-tier, Er’er!”
“You can use soul power to interfere with them. Then I, Xuanxuan, and the others will handle beating them. We still have a decent chance.”
Si Er sighed. “You really want that lingzhi that badly?”
Guagua nodded repeatedly. “With it, we can advance to fourth-tier!”
Si Er: “You should’ve said that earlier!”
Guagua replied, “But there is real risk. I thought it was better to explain the dangers clearly first.”
“Perhaps… I can help too?”
At that moment, a clear female voice sounded from behind them.
The four turned around and saw a beautiful girl dressed in black, holding an umbrella.
Her eyes and long hair were glossy black, while her skin was snow-white and luminous—a striking contrast.
In that instant, four bold words popped into Si Er’s mind.
Snow White!
This is Snow White in the flesh, isn’t it? The description matches perfectly—just with a bit of a gothic style.
The crow on the girl’s shoulder waved its wings at them.
“Hello again.”
Yu Bei Eagle immediately grew alert. “Are you here to freeload off our things again?”
“No, no. Li Li doesn’t want that lingzhi. She wants the GreatSun Grass slightly higher up the cliff.”
“GreatSun Grass?”
That name feels a bit careless.
“Yes. My master once helped a man. She believes that if you help someone, you should see it through to the end. That GreatSun Grass is useful for him.”
