"Bang bang bang!"

Field mice kept popping their heads up.

Su Ye slashed and chopped continuously.

It was like a real-life whack-a-mole.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The fields were filled with the cheerful squeaks of the field mice.

Clearly, it considered toying with Su Ye an interesting game.

Just as a field mouse ducked back into its hole and popped its head out from another opening...

"Swish!"

This time, the long saber didn't strike the hole but instead swept horizontally across it.

"Squeak...?"

Blood splattered.

A mouse head, its eyes still filled with glee, flew off.

During the process of dealing with the field mice, Su Ye had already figured out how many holes there were underground. Using his enhanced hearing, he determined the direction of the mouse's movement, predicted which hole it would pop out of next, and thus succeeded in killing it.

[Slaughter Value +5.2]

Su Ye sheathed his saber.

5.2?

Not bad.

"Wow, A'Su, you're amazing! You killed a field mouse so quickly!"

Xia Zhiqiu ran over with a grin. Unfazed by the headless field mouse, he used a pair of pliers to pick up its remains and put them into the bag provided by the school.

"This is the first field mouse our team has killed!"

Xiao Qiyue and Mu Wanrou had also stopped taking selfies and walked over after seeing Su Ye's success.

However, both women avoided the field mouse's corpse.

Mu Wanrou even wrinkled her little nose.

Su Ye shook his head.

"The efficiency is too slow. And if the field mouse hides in its burrow and doesn't come out, we can't do anything about it. We can't just force it out; we need to find a way to lure it out."

Xiao Qiyue observed the ground situation and nodded in agreement.

"That's right. To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. I support Su Ye."

Zhang Xuan, standing nearby, shook his phone.

"When Brother Su was killing the field mouse just now, I checked. Luoluo Beast Meat is the most tempting bait for field mice. Even mutated monster beasts can't resist the aroma of Luoluo Beast Meat. I've already asked my family's butler to send some over. It'll be here within half an hour."

Luoluo Beast Meat?

Su Ye couldn't help but look it up.

It was actually a second-tier star beast!

Its meat was said to be very delicious and its energy gentle, making it very suitable for martial artists.

One pound of meat cost thirty to forty thousand.

Su Ye: ...As expected of a rich second-generation heir.

Half an hour later.

Butler Fu, dressed in a stiff black suit, arrived.

He not only brought a whole insulated container of frozen Luoluo Beast Meat but also brought folding chairs and a sun umbrella for resting, and even a lavish spread of food.

It was as if Su Ye and the others weren't there to complete a school trial but were on a picnic.

Su Ye: ...As expected of a rich second-generation heir.

After a hearty meal.

Butler Fu and his entourage departed. It was time to get down to business.

He took out a small piece from the insulated container, about half a pound of Luoluo Beast Meat.

He placed it in a specially made box.

The lid of the box was opened, and a fan below blew, allowing the scent to spread faster.

When the lid was closed, it could completely seal the smell of the Luoluo Beast Meat.

He turned on the fan.

After a short while, Su Ye heard a rustling sound coming from underground.

"They're here!"

Su Ye stepped forward two paces, shielding Xiao Qiyue and Mu Wanrou behind him.

"The three of us will hold off the field mice outside. Please be ready to provide support, Classmate Xiao and Classmate Mu. If too many field mice come, put away the Luoluo Beast Meat."

Instantly, the three boys formed a triangle, surrounding the two girls and the Luoluo Beast Meat in the center.

Mu Wanrou glanced at Su Ye with a hint of admiration before leaning closer to Xiao Qiyue.

"This Su Ye is quite the gentleman, actually knowing to look out for the girls. Qiyue, you have good taste."

Xiao Qiyue glared, half-amused, half-annoyed.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Alright, alright, I'm talking nonsense... But as gentlemanly as Su Ye is, isn't he being a bit too cautious? This small piece of Luoluo Beast Meat, how many field mice could it possibly attract... Oh my goodness!"

Mu Wanrou's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

What did she see?!

Field mice!

Countless field mice!

They were charging towards them like a frenzy.

Mu Wanrou could even see a crazy red glow in the eyes of the few field mice at the very front.

Mu Wanrou didn't know that for these field mice, the Luoluo Beast Meat was not just an ultimate delicacy, but also an opportunity for them to grow stronger.

Their primal instincts took over the moment they smelled the Luoluo Beast Meat, leaving no room for other thoughts.

Only one desire remained!

Eat!

"Whoa, so many field mice?!"

Xia Zhiqiu's legs also started to tremble.

Each of these field mice possessed combat power equivalent to Kaiyuan Stage Five or Six.

If he were facing just one field mouse, he could handle it with ease.

But so many at once... This old man Xia is done for!

Even Zhang Xuan beside him looked a bit tense.

Only Su Ye, upon seeing so many field mice, broke into a slight smile.

Excellent!

This would be so much Slaughter Value!

However, seeing the leg-weak Xia Zhiqiu and the tense Zhang Xuan beside him.

Su Ye still turned back and reminded them.

"You can put away the Luoluo Beast Meat for now. We'll lure the next batch after we finish this one."

"Ah, okay!"

Mu Wanrou didn't hesitate and immediately closed the lid of the box.

The scent of the Luoluo Beast Meat still lingered in the air, but the frenzied field mice seemed to have lost their direction.

One by one, they stopped in confusion, looking around, sniffing the air for the lingering scent of the Luoluo Beast Meat.
