Finally, the vine that had completely withered was lifted up by his fingernails.
"This thing is useless." "Why keep it?"
Ruan Shu opened her mouth, about to speak, when the vine suddenly came alive again, flying at Ruan Shu's hand at a speed that was almost imperceptible, and then intertwined to disguise itself as a bracelet.
Ruan Shu blinked, while Almer squinted dangerously.
He dared to bring this item over, confirming that it had no attack capability, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and obsequious.
Strangely enough, he saw flattery in this vine.
Almer fell silent for a moment.
Was it a problem with the vine or...
He looked at the little one who still had a shocked expression, her mouth wide open in surprise.
She was clearly surprised herself.
Almer used his fingernails to hook the vine that pretended to be a bracelet, displaying a disapproving expression and tone.
"Dark, ugly."
It blackened the skin on his lucky mascot's wrist.
Blackberry vine: #!@!*
Don't ask why a plant would curse, because it wants to!
Ruan Shu looked at Almer with pleading eyes and asked, "Then what should we do with it?"
"Keep it."
The two then picked up the scattered blackberries on the ground, totaling more than thirty. Unfortunately, many of them had been burned or turned to ashes by Almer's powerful flames.
"Blame my own strength; this guy should have had a lot of stock."
Ruan Shu: "…"
Blackberry vine: "…"
This individual was so naturally self-absorbed that it was difficult to determine how to criticize his positive traits.
But, it had to be said, what he said was true.
Ruan Shu held a blackberry the size of an egg, intending to hand it to Almer, when suddenly the vine on her wrist moved.
It gently tapped Ruan Shu's wrist, then pointed in a certain direction.
Ruan Shu glanced at it and asked softly, "Are you telling me to go there"?"
The blackberry vine nodded.
Ruan Shu pursed her lips and whispered, "Can I call Almer to go with me?"
She was still cautious. What if she encountered danger when she went alone, even though it didn't seem like the vine intended to harm her.
When she mentioned Almer's name, the blackberry vine swung crazily from side to side.
No, it didn't want to cheapen its treasure for that cruel guy.
The blackberry vine was attempting to look charming, but it was grabbed and thrown away. "Haha, this ugly thing seems to have a lot of ideas." Let's get rid of it.
Blackberry vine: Curse, curse, curse…
Of course, being a plant without a mouth, it couldn't say anything, but that didn't stop it from cursing in its mind.
"No, don't."
Ruan Shu tiptoed and tugged at Almer, looking pitifully at the blackberry vine.
"It's really obedient, with no ill intentions."
And it was truly pitiful to be battered like this.
After speaking, she was tapped on the forehead, blinked, and felt no pain.
But what she didn't see was a dark fingerprint on her forehead.
Almer flicked his finger and looked at the fingerprint on her forehead, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Do you want to save it?"
Ruan Shu glanced at the blackberry vine, curled up pitifully.
She nodded, answering in a flirtatious tone, "I do."
"Alright, transform into your star beast form."
Almer's eyes gleamed brighter as he tossed aside the twisted vine and picked up the cat.
The next moment, he buried his face in the cat's fur and took a deep breath.
Ruan Shu: "Meow meow meow!"
If she were human, Ruan Shu's snowy white face would definitely be blushing.
Why did this dragon, no, this person, love to cuddle the cat so much!
The cat's paws pressed against his handsome face. Unlike before when they were clean and pink, this time her paws were black.
The black dirt she stepped on left a small, cute paw print on his handsome face.
Ruan Shu suddenly became brave and continued advancing.
Soon, Almer's face was adorned with several lovely paw prints.
"What are you doing?"
Almer held her paw in his hand, his golden eyes half-closed.
Ruan Shu's heart trembled as she tried to retract her paw, but she was caught quickly.
And when her paw flipped over, the flesh of her little black paw pads was exposed.
The cat looked even more guilty as it struggled to escape.
"Still want to run?"
Almer chuckled and casually drew on the black trunk, then openly doodled on the cat's face.
Ruan Shu was caught red-handed doing something bad for the first time. QAQ
In the end, both of them ended up dirty; well, no one should blame each other.
The small vine eventually returned to Ruan Shu's side and continued to lead her to dig up the treasure.
They moved a stone a bit further away, revealing a not-so-large hole in the ground.
Definitely, a dragon couldn't squeeze into it, but a cat could easily slip in.
Ruan Shu and Almer leaned in to take a look inside, and they were both stunned.
Because there were indeed many good things hidden inside; aside from the blackberries, Almer also saw the bones of an Abrasaurus.
The bones of this advanced exotic beast could be used to make armor for their star beasts, enhancing their power on the battlefield.
In addition to the Abrasaurus bones, there were also tusks of a Behemoth, which were highly valued in the trading market.
There were also Snowflake beast fur, Fire Snake scales, and fruits or flower roots of other mutant plants, and so on...
In short, there were many items of various kinds that could fetch a good sum of money.
Almer was completely shocked, not by the contents inside, but as a monarch, he wasn't lacking in treasures.
He was shocked to have had a stroke of luck and actually found a treasure!
He turned to Ruan Shu and gently patted her head with a smile, saying, "You truly are my lucky charm."
Ruan Shu: "?""??"
Why was he always so strange?
As the treasures hidden inside were being dug out, Almer stood up and instructed Ruan Shu from a high vantage point, "Please walk further away to avoid getting splattered with mud."
If he had said, "Don't let dirt splatter on you," it would have been even more domineering, an invisible pretense.
Ruan Shu obediently walked a bit further away.
Almer said, "Go hide behind the tree."
Ruan Shu followed suit but secretly kept an eye on him, eager to see what significant move Almer was planning.
Then she saw him transform into a dark dragon and start digging the hole with his claws at the entrance.
As he dug, his tail wagged happily, and the mud he excavated flew everywhere.
Ruan Shu: "..."
She finally understood why he had asked her to hide behind the tree.
And that dragon over there really looked like a big puppy from afar!
Today, there would probably only be two chapters. I didn't get infected with the flu and have been vomiting, so I accompanied her to the hospital for treatment. I'm not used to writing in hospitals, so it will be much slower, and my thoughts are constantly disturbed.
