Chapter 110: Gave Too Much
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although the three little ones were usually fighting, they still had a tacit understanding at crucial moments. The treasure-hunting mouse was almost forced into a corner by their attacks from three sides. The key was that Little Green’s dragon binding technique worked.
It struggled to break free, but it could not escape from the cage that bound it.
Seeing that Little Black’s water ball closing in and Little Red’s huge fireball was about to arrive, the golden light on the tail of the treasure-hunting mouse suddenly burst out, enveloping its entire body, forming a thick protective barrier.
Several forces collided together, and even the air became distorted. It was like a huge wave that violently pushed out in all directions. The golden barrier finally could not bear it anymore, and a spider web-like pattern gradually appeared on it. Then, it quickly spread out.
“Bang!”
Finally, the golden shield could no longer bear the heavy burden. It completely shattered, turning into countless fragments that floated in the air. Little Green and Little Red both trembled.
The treasure-hunting mouse’s huge body was also knocked back by the impact, and then it was like a deflated rubber ball. However, in the blink of an eye, it quickly became smaller, and the spiritual power in its entire body scattered. Finally, it returned to its previous appearance and dropped to the ground. It was unknown whether it was dead or alive.
Even its tail, which was originally flickering with golden light, gradually became dim and faded away, as if it had lost all its vitality and life. It actually looked no different from an ordinary treasure-hunting mouse.
Seeing this scene, Lin Bai frowned. He had never thought of taking the little thing’s life, and had never thought that such a situation would occur. Its eyes were tightly shut, and there were no fluctuations in its chest. Clearly, he had already lost his breath.
Little Green and the others had never thought that although this treasure-seeking rat looked strong and durable, in reality, it was just good-looking but useless. It couldn’t even withstand a few attacks. They had never thought that it would die so quickly. For a moment, they were at a loss.
Lin Bai took a deep look at the treasure-seeking mouse. After staring at it for a long time, he finally sighed faintly. “Forget it. Just take it that you’re unlucky.” He turned around and was about to leave. The three little ones followed closely behind him.
The room was in a mess. If it wasn’t for the treasure-hunting mouse’s corpse on the ground, no one would know what had happened here. The footsteps outside gradually faded away.
A deathly silence spread throughout the room. After an unknown amount of time, a few golden dots of light floated in the air. They were like little insects, but also some kind of mysterious energy. They consciously drilled into the treasure-hunting mouse’s tail.
Its gray tail began to shine again, and the golden light grew more and more. It attached to the treasure-hunting mouse’s tail and lit up with the same light as before, as if it had regained its vitality.
Its tail actually floated in the air. The unbrushed specks of light converged into something like a thread, entwining around the treasure-hunting mouse’s body before finally entering its meridians. The treasure-hunting mouse that was originally dead suddenly moved, it slowly opened its eyes.
After confirming that its surroundings were finally safe, it suddenly got up from the ground. However —
“I didn’t expect you to be so good at playing dead.”
The treasure-hunting mouse that was about to leave heard Lin Bai’s voice once again. It was as if history was repeating itself. Its small body stiffened and it turned its head around in disbelief. The words ‘shock’ were written all over its pea-sized eyes.
? ? ?
Lin Bai had actually played the same trick twice.
Not to mention the treasure-hunting mouse, Lin Bai was also a little surprised. After all, it was able to avoid everyone and destroy the herbal field until it was in such a state without being discovered. It had also stolen a few pills consecutively without him noticing. That was enough to prove its ability.
How could it be killed just from these few attacks? Even if Little Green and Little Red were powerful and joined forces, Lin Bai had previously warned them not to deal lethal blows. No matter how one looked at it, its death seemed a little suspicious.
However, Lin Bai really could not find any signs of life on the treasure-hunting mouse at that time. It tricked everyone. He decided to take a gamble, but he did not expect that he had really made the right gamble.
He quickly and accurately grabbed the treasure-hunting mouse’s body. “Let’s see how you’re going to run now.”
The treasure-hunting mouse instantly blew up and kept squeaking. Although Lin Bai didn’t understand what it meant, judging from its expression and small appearance, it probably wasn’t saying anything polite.
However, it couldn’t bite Lin Bai. It was so angry that its beard danced wildly, and its body swayed back and forth like a pendulum.
“You are quite interesting, little guy. You have so many abilities, and you can even fake your death. Even I can’t detect your invisibility. Ordinary treasure-hunting rats are not as powerful as you.”
Treasure-hunting rats were relatively rare. Now, it was rare to see wild treasure-hunting rats on the market. Their race was very talented, and they had an inexplicable ability to sense treasures. Moreover, they could avoid risks, and the more powerful they were, the higher the grade of the treasure they could sense.
If one could have a treasure-seeking mouse in a secret realm or an ancient tomb, it would be equivalent to having half a living map. They could also avoid risks. It was simply an additional life-saving divine artifact.
Therefore, everyone flocked to treasure-seeking mice and began to capture them wantonly. As a result, treasure-seeking mice became increasingly rare and rarely appeared in front of people. It could be said that they had reached the point of extinction.
The treasure-seeking mouse seemed to have been tormented until it was powerless to accept its fate. It drooped its head, feeling dejected.
Lin Bai could not help but nod at the treasure-seeking mouse’s head. He did not expect that this little fellow was very smart. In fact, it was secretly accumulating strength. It suddenly straightened its body and bit Lin Bai. It was extremely strong, and in an instant, he began to bleed.
Fresh blood flowed into the treasure-seeking mouse’s mouth through the wound. A huge magic array lit up on the human and the rat. When the light ended, Lin Bai did not react in time.
This was a contract.
This treasure-seeking mouse was exceptionally special. It didn’t want to become a pet beast. It had been hiding in the Alchemist Association and hadn’t been discovered by the public. Because it had sensed the existence of something good on Lin Bai, it had secretly followed it.
Now that it was inexplicably contracted by Lin Bai, it suddenly became irritable and suddenly wanted to give Lin Bai a few more bites.
[“Ding!”]
[“The host passed on ten days’ worth of cultivation to the treasure-seeking mouse.”]
[“Fifty-fold return has been successfully triggered!”]
[“The host has received five hundred days’ worth of cultivation!”]
Boundless spiritual energy instantly surged into the treasure-seeking mouse’s body. The feeling was even more comfortable and wonderful than when it had eaten dozens of bottles of spirit pills. Its beady eyes narrowed, and it could not help but be intoxicated by the feeling.
“Didn’t you want spirit pills? I have plenty of spirit pills here.”
Lin Bai believed that this treasure-hunting mouse was so strange that it must have gained intelligence and could definitely hear what he said clearly.
As expected, the originally irritable treasure-hunting mouse fell into deep thought.
“Ten bottles.”
The treasure-hunting mouse’s firm heart instantly wavered.
It was not that it did not insist, but that Lin Bai was offering too much!
