After Lu Shiyan dealt with Li Xinhu's funeral, he returned to the SUV and looked at Su Wan, who was curled up in the back seat. "Come out and have something to eat."

Su Wan buried her face in her knees, motionless, with a heavy nasal tone, she refused vaguely: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

"You have to eat!" Lu Shiyan's voice was somewhat helpless, "Don't forget that you have another one in your stomach. Do you want him to starve to death with you?"

Su Wan suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Shiyan with her red and swollen eyes with a complicated look. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute something. She turned her head to look at Li Kui, who was kneeling on the sand not far away, his shoulders shaking violently and whimpering like a trapped beast.

Finally, she took a deep breath, pushed open the car door, and staggered out of the car with a bit of numbness and heaviness.

Su Wan expressionlessly took out compressed biscuits, canned beef and bottled water from the space and distributed them to everyone one by one.

No one spoke, no one had an appetite, but everyone took it silently, mechanically tore open the package, chewed and swallowed numbly.

The food had no taste in my mouth, like chewing dry wood.

At this moment, a very slight "squeak" sound was heard, breaking the suffocating silence.

A snow-white little thing poked its furry head out of Su Wan's pocket. Its ruby-like eyes rolled around, revealing a bit of human worry.

It's red beans.

It leaped lightly onto Su Wan's shoulder, rubbed her cheek gently with its warm little cheek, and whimpered softly, as if to comfort her.

This subtle action brought a little warmth to Su Wan. She reached out her hand and held the red bean in her palm, feeling its soft hair and its subtle heartbeat.

Hongdou rubbed his hands against hers, but seemed a little restless. Soon, he jumped down and landed steadily on the sand.

Its little nose sniffed the air quickly, and its two pink little ears stood up vigilantly and turned a few times. Then, as if it had locked onto a target, it spread out its four short legs and rushed to Xiao Han's feet, desperately trying to pull at Xiao Han's trouser legs with its two front paws.

Xiao Han was filled with grief and anger, and had no place to vent. Seeing this little creature, which was usually a little weird, pulling at his trouser legs at an inopportune moment, he suddenly felt a surge of anger and shouted impatiently in a low voice.

"Get out of the way! Stop making trouble!"

He subconsciously wanted to move his feet away to avoid stepping on it, but when he saw Su Wan's pale and haggard face, his heart stagnated. In the end, he just sighed heavily and waved his hand unhappily, "Don't bother me, go find your master."

Hongdou ignored Xiao Han's bad attitude. Instead, she turned her head and squeaked a few times in the direction of Su Wan. She raised her little paw and pointed directly at the emerald green crystal core that Xiao Han was holding tightly in his hand.

"It wants the crystal core?" Su Wan was surprised and looked in the direction of Hongdou's claws.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the crystal core of extraordinary significance and the palm-sized white mouse, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

"Give it to him."

Lu Shiyan spoke without warning.

"W-what? Ah Shi, this..."

"Give it to it." Lu Shiyan repeated again. He looked straight at the little white mouse that did not retreat but raised its little head to confront him.

"This rat has given warnings several times, and its behavior is unusual. Su Wan once said that it seems to be sensitive to energy. This wood crystal core has pure energy, and it may be able to produce some changes that we need, or... be beneficial to Su Wan's body."

"I need to know what it is. If it's just an ordinary pet, then it's okay to waste a crystal core, but if it's really special, now is the time to verify it."

Xiao Han looked at the crystal core in his hand, then at Lu Shiyan's resolute attitude, and finally his gaze fell on Su Wan's bloodless face. He finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, slowly spread out his palm, and gently placed the emerald green and crystal core on the ground.

When Hongdou saw this, her ruby-like eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, and she quickly turned into a white shadow and scurried over.

It did not gnaw on it roughly like other mutant beasts did. Instead, it circled around the crystal core carefully twice, put its little nose close to it and sniffed it carefully, then stretched out its two pink little paws and gently pressed on the surface of the crystal core.

The moment its claws touched the crystal core, something strange happened!

The fist-sized wood crystal core suddenly burst out with a dazzling green light. The life energy that was so rich that it was almost liquid was like a torrent that opened the floodgates, forming a clearly visible emerald green light column. It was forcibly pulled by an invisible force and madly poured into Hongdou's tiny body!

"Buzz--" With a slight vibration, Hongdou's snow-white hair moved without wind, and each hair stood upright. His whole body was covered by a rich green halo.

Its tiny body trembled violently, and a suppressed "woooo" sound came from its throat. It was unclear whether it was enduring an unimaginable energy impact, or enjoying this energy feast in extreme comfort.

The air around them became exceptionally fresh because of this tremendous energy. Even the heaviness and despair that had accumulated in everyone's hearts due to Li Xinhu's death was somewhat diluted by this sudden vision.

This incredible scene lasted for nearly a minute.

When the last ray of green light was completely devoured by the red beans, the dazzling brilliance gradually faded. The originally full, lustrous, and radiant wood crystal core had now turned gray, its color changing from vivid emerald green to dead gray, and its surface was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the crystal core completely shattered and turned into useless white powder on the ground.

Looking at the little white mouse again, there seems to be no change in its size, it is still the same harmless palm-sized size.

If you look closely, you can see that its originally snow-white fur is now even more lustrous and smooth, with a faint jade-like luster.

The tip of its tail, dotted with a little crimson, was now swinging back and forth proudly, and its ruby-like eyes were becoming brighter and more spirited, with an alluring aura, completely devoid of the frailty it had shown when it was first seen.

“Oh my god!” Xiao Han stuttered, “What…what kind of monster is this?! It sucked such a big top-grade crystal core dry just by saying so?!”

I have never seen such an outrageous way of absorbing crystal cores, let alone something with such a perverted absorption efficiency!

A'mo also frowned, and his hand holding the gun tightened unconsciously. The potential and weirdness of this seemingly harmless little mouse were far beyond his cognition.

Lu Shiyan stared at the smug little thing. This mouse was indeed no ordinary creature.

Su Wan's intuition was sometimes so accurate that it was frightening.

Just as everyone was wondering and wondering, the red bean, which had absorbed a huge amount of energy, burped in a very human way, and then opened its cherry mouth——

"puff."

A thing only the size of a little fingernail, emerald green in color, emitting a bright glow, was gently spit out by it.

That turned out to be... a seed?
