It turned out to be like this. Mother Mouse Rabbit's explanation made Xiao Zhuzi and the others suddenly realize and understand the various experiences they had in Mistwood Forest over the past two days. It was precisely because the entire water system of Mistwood Forest had a magical detoxifying effect that the plants in the forest thrived. The reason why the stream could detoxify and why the Scorpions feared the stream were all due to this.
At this thought, Xiao Zhuzi suddenly exclaimed, "Since these Scorpions are afraid of the water here, why don't we use water to drive them away?" Mother Mouse Rabbit, Fei Bao, and Xi Xi thought Xiao Zhuzi was being too fanciful. Not to mention dealing with the powerful Scorpion King, even a few more Scorpions would be too much for them to handle. With just the little bit of water they could splash around, how could they possibly deal with an entire Scorpion Swarm?
However, Xiao Zhuzi paid no mind to her friends' doubts. She stared intently at the lake and the swaying Mist Blossoms, lost in thought. After spending some time together, Fei Bao and Xi Xi understood Xiao Zhuzi well enough to know she was likely brainstorming another plan. So they didn’t disturb her and turned back to chat casually with Mother Mouse Rabbit. Following Mother Mouse Rabbit's guidance, Xi Xi went to Lake Side to search for food while Fei Bao wandered around, looking for other cracks in the stone wall or underground passages that could help them safely leave.
With Mother Mouse Rabbit's help, Xi Xi dug up some tender Tzu Gu that could serve as dinner. When she and Fei Bao returned after a busy afternoon, they found Xiao Zhuzi still staring blankly at the Mist Blossoms. As her friends gathered around her, Xiao Zhuzi snapped back to reality and softly said, "These Mist Blossoms are the key to solving our problem."
"Alright, let’s eat something first!" Fei Bao said helplessly as he ruffled Xiao Zhuzi's hair and handed her a piece of Tzu Gu. Xiao Zhuzi had never seen Tzu Gu that looked like garlic before; it tasted a bit bitter at first but had a faint sweetness upon closer inspection. She found this unique flavor quite intriguing and thought it was delicious. After finishing an entire piece, she asked Fei Bao, "Fei Bao, did you find anything while checking the stone wall?"
"Huh? No... I didn’t find anything useful; there were no useful passages at all. I did get startled when I flew close to the stone wall near the Scorpion Tomb; maybe that wall is thinner because I suddenly heard a hissing sound from the Scorpion Swarm next door when I flew past—it scared me so much..." Fei Bao grumbled.
Xiao Zhuzi nodded thoughtfully and then looked at Mother Mouse Rabbit, saying, "Mother Mouse Rabbit, I remember watching a documentary that said you Mouse Rabbits are particularly good at digging."
"Documentary? What’s that? Ah... right! Yes, we Mouse Rabbits are especially skilled at digging tunnels. The burrow my family lives in now is one we dug ourselves; it has many rooms spacious enough for everyone in our family to live in, plus a storage room specifically for food. Why do you ask?" Mother Mouse Rabbit replied with some confusion; she couldn’t quite grasp what this human girl was thinking.
Fei Bao and Xi Xi were equally puzzled; they exchanged glances before both looking at Xiao Zhuzi again, only to find her eyes sparkling with excitement. They recognized that look all too well—it was the same look she had when she figured out how to deal with Box-Head Bullfrog!
"You... what crazy idea have you come up with now?" Fei Bao lightly tapped Xiao Zhuzi on the head with his paw.
Xiao Zhuzi swatted Fei Bao’s paw away and smiled, "I’m not sure if this plan will work either. Let me share my thoughts with you all so we can brainstorm together."
Then, facing her curious friends and puzzled Mother Mouse Rabbit, Xiao Zhuzi boldly laid out her plan: "We’ll sprinkle a large amount of Mist Blossom pollen into the lake so that the water gains even stronger detoxifying abilities. This means the lake water will have super strong attacking power against the Scorpion Swarm! Then we can use this upgraded underground lake water to flood the Scorpion Tomb and take out both the Scorpion King and the entire Scorpion Swarm!"
"But how can we get the lake water into the Scorpion Tomb? There’s not only a short distance but also a stone wall in between!" clever Xi Xi immediately pointed out a flaw in the plan.
Xiao Zhuzi blinked and pointed at Fei Bao, saying, "I got stuck on that part too until I remembered what Fei Bao discovered earlier—there’s a spot on that side of the Scorpion Tomb that’s particularly thin! We could even hear sounds from the other side of the Scorpion Swarm! If we can direct enough lake water over there to hit that thin stone wall, it might just cause it to collapse and flood the entire Scorpion Tomb."
"But how do we get the lake water over there?" Fei Bao asked. Just as he finished speaking, he noticed Xiao Zhuzi pointing at Mother Mouse Rabbit and suddenly realized.
Xiao Zhuzi smiled at Mother Mouse Rabbit and said, "Mother Mouse Rabbit, if you could mobilize your whole family to dig a tunnel from higher up to direct the lake water to where the stone wall is thinnest—do you think that would work?"
Finally understanding Xiao Zhuzi's plan, Mother Mouse Rabbit's big eyes sparkled with excitement; it was indeed a brilliant idea! If successful, they could escape their current dark existence and allow her children to live in sunlight once again!
