Chapter 154 Old Popsicle
Su Luo raised her hand, "Zhu Zhu said there's something wrong with this bamboo."
The three were puzzled. "Is there something wrong with the bamboo?"
Just then, Chu Wenqing, who was closest to the bamboo forest, suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him. His expression changed drastically, and he nimbly turned around, drawing his Star Thunder Sword to block it.
With a "?" sound, the thing was blocked by the Star Thunder Sword and fell to the ground.
Chu Wenqing looked closely and was stunned. "Bamboo leaves?"
Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao also saw the beautiful, jade-like bamboo leaves lying on the ground and asked in confusion, "Where did these bamboo leaves come from?"
Almost at the same time, Zhu Zhu said in Su Luo's mind: "Once you get close to the bamboo's attack range, these bamboos will shoot out their leaves. Those leaves are extremely sharp and will cause you to bleed if they touch you!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately shouted a reminder: "Step back!"
Without a second thought, the three of them immediately retreated several steps. Then, countless bamboo leaves shot out like arrows, quickly covering the ice surface with a dense layer of thorns.
Chu Wenqing exclaimed, "Holy crap! So many bamboo leaves?!"
He then patted his chest with lingering fear, "Luckily we stepped back, otherwise, if we had stood there, we would have been pricked like pincushions or seriously injured!"
Feng Xiyue frowned and looked at Su Luo, "What's going on?"
Song Qiao also looked over.
Su Luo then had a chance to repeat what Zhu Zhu had just said, "In short, this Spirit Jade Bamboo isn't just a simple spiritual plant; it's very aggressive. It will shoot out bamboo leaves to attack any creature that enters its attack range! If we want to get the bamboo safely, we need to make some preparations!"
"I see."
The three of them suddenly realized what was happening and looked at the beautiful jade bamboo again. By this time, most of their excitement had disappeared.
They were careless. They thought they could have as many Spirit Jade Bamboos as they wanted, but it seems they were too naive. There are all sorts of dangers in this secret realm at any time!
Feng Xiyue couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is..."
Chu Wenqing nodded in agreement and asked Su Luo, "So what should we do next?"
Su Luo: "Then of course we need to find a way to get close without getting pricked by the bamboo leaves."
This bamboo forest is vast, with at least a thousand spirit jade bamboo stalks. If they were to approach carelessly, they would undoubtedly be riddled with bamboo thorns. Therefore, they must find another way!
The four immediately lowered their eyes and pondered what they should do.
Thinking that they were all in a difficult situation, Zhu Zhu thought for a moment, and finally raised her head, looking at Su Luo with her wet eyes: "Master, if we can't get the bamboo, that's fine. I can choose not to eat it. I don't want you to get hurt..."
Oh my, whose sweet little quilt is this!
Hearing this, Su Luo was overjoyed and quickly rubbed the little guy's head, "Don't worry, there will be a way."
After saying that, Su Luo quickly repeated what she had just said, immediately earning the touched looks of the other three.
"Oh my, Zhuzhu is so sensible!"
"Yes, what a cute little guy..."
Chu Wenqing patted his chest loudly, "Don't worry, Zhuzhu, I will definitely get you lots and lots of bamboo!"
"But..." Zhu Zhu was still worried.
At this moment, Su Luo had already thought of a solution. She patted the little guy's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I promise you."
After saying that, she pulled out a handful of amulets, "Because I have these."
Upon seeing this, Chu Wenqing and the other two's eyes lit up immediately. "That's right! There's a protective talisman!"
With so many protective amulets, they didn't believe that these bamboo leaves could break all of them!
Su Luo waved the talisman in her hand, "Everyone, come and share it."
The three of them came over, and each of them received twenty protective talismans. Su Luo originally wanted to go with them, but Feng Xiyue stopped her. Feng Xiyue said that they needed someone to guard the rear and protect Zhu Zhu, so Su Luo had no choice but to wait where she was.
After attaching the amulets to their bodies, the three of them slowly approached the bamboo forest again, each holding a weapon in hand, ready to strike at the first sign of trouble!
Almost as soon as they approached the area, bamboo leaves shot towards them. Fortunately, the leaves fell to the ground upon contact with the amulet, causing no harm to those inside. The plan works!
Chu Wenqing was extremely pleased with himself. He couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and laugh loudly, "Hahaha! Now you bamboos have no choice, right? Why don't you surrender quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over like lightning, the bamboo leaves constantly hitting the amulet and falling onto the ice, making a "crackling" sound.
Soon, Chu Wenqing arrived at the bamboo forest. With a flash of sword light, a spirit jade bamboo was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Feng Xiyue and the others were not to be outdone, each taking out various magical treasures and artifacts to cut down the bamboo.
Only by cutting down the Spirit Jade Bamboo will it stop attacking. As for the remaining bamboo roots, they can be dug up slowly...
Su Luo watched the three of them chopping bamboo with lightning speed and finally felt relieved.
She glanced down at the ice and noticed a bamboo leaf lying not far from her. The leaf was stuck straight in the ice, gleaming in the sunlight, like a delicate handicraft.
After thinking for a moment, Su Luo couldn't help but ask Zhu Zhu out of curiosity, "Zhu Zhu, have you ever eaten these bamboo leaves? Are they delicious?"
Song Qiao said these bamboo leaves can be eaten directly and can increase spiritual power. If that's the case, why do bamboo-eating beasts only eat bamboo stalks and not the leaves?
Zhu Zhu nodded, "I've eaten it once. I tried it out of curiosity before. These bamboo leaves are icy cold and have a faint taste like seawater. The taste is strange, so none of us in our tribe like to eat it."
"Icy and cool? And it tastes like seawater?"
As Su Luo listened to the description, she felt a sense of déjà vu. She squatted down and tentatively reached out to touch the bamboo leaf. It was icy cold to the touch, and the bamboo leaf was smooth and delicate, feeling somewhat like an ice cube.
Su Luo picked up the bamboo leaf again, smelled it, and didn't detect any other scent. As for the taste...
Because Chu Wenqing and the others deliberately avoided stepping on the bamboo leaves, the food was clean and safe to eat.
Su Luo stuck out her tongue and licked the bamboo leaf, smacked her lips, and then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. "It tastes salty!"
At that moment, she finally realized what these bamboo leaves looked like! They were just like the popsicles she'd eaten in the real world!
