"Squeak!" It doesn't just squeak once, it squeaks twice to express its will.
"Understood, come in." Shen Jue then pulled out a small nest and let the grass-hunting mouse go inside.
The grass-seeking rat immediately climbed into the small nest that Shen Jue had handed it over; to hesitate for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the fourth-grade grass.
The grass-hunting mouse is small in size, with creamy yellow fur. It huddles in its little nest. When Shen Jue holds the grass-hunting mouse's nest in his hands, it's like holding a soft, sticky sesame ball.
The other three watched as Shen Jue abducted a hallucinogenic mouse, which apparently had some other peculiar abilities.
Do you think they're envious? Of course they are. This is a partner that Shen Jue recognized first and obtained through his own abilities.
If any of them know the Grass-Seeking Mouse and have what it needs, they can make it a partner.
Once the group found the source of the hallucinations, their return to Mu Sheng was much faster.
Because they came out quickly, no one was left to guard Lin Jiao.
However, if Lin Jiao needs anything, she can just say so on the microphone, and they will come back immediately.
Lin Jiao and Mu Sheng are currently at a crucial juncture in their spiritual connection.
"Is it a bit inappropriate for us to just let the grass-seeking rat solve the illusion?" Xia Xiyue asked with some concern.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"The Grass-Seeking Mouse says you underestimate it." Since the others couldn't understand what the Grass-Seeking Mouse was saying, only Shen Jue did, so Shen Jue conveyed its meaning for the Grass-Seeking Mouse.
"Wow, I never knew you had this skill." Zhao Keke had only guessed that Shen Jue might know some special abilities, but she never expected that she could communicate with animals. That's a bit unbelievable, isn't it?
"Keep a low profile, I only know a little bit about it."
"Relax, relax, I understand." She only knows a tiny bit, that's all.
After finishing their whispered conversation, the Grass-Seeking Mouse approached Mu Sheng, ready to dispel the illusion.
The grass-finding mouse squeaked, seemingly trying to awaken Mu Sheng. Slowly, both Mu Sheng and Lin Jiao's eyes returned to calm.
His eyes gradually regained their sparkle.
"Thank goodness, you almost got trapped and didn't wake up. Thanks to Shen Jue, who found the Grass-Seeking Rat and helped you break free from the illusion."
Xia Xiyue and Zhang Guole flanked the two, reviewing the situation after they fell into the illusion.
"Thank you, you and Jiaojiao saved my life again." Mu Sheng expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Shen Jue smiled slightly, put the grass-finding mouse back into its little nest, and fed it a fourth-grade grass.
"You're welcome. If you should thank someone, you should thank this little guy. He helped you break free from the illusion."
The grass-seeking rat was very satisfied with Shen Jue's answer and rubbed against Shen Jue's hand.
Mu Sheng looked at the creamy yellow mouse in Shen Jue's hand, bowed to it, and said, "Thank you, my... uh, lovely friend."
"How is Lin Jiao? Is she mentally okay?"
"She's fine, just too tired and fell asleep."
"Oh, it's good that she's alright. Wake her up. This is a mental potion that helps with recovery. Once she drinks it, she'll be full of energy and won't be sleepy anymore. We need to speed things up." Shen Jue couldn't help but urge them on.
“Shen Jue is right. Our progress is indeed too slow. At this rate, we don’t know when we’ll finish this SSS-level dungeon.”
"How about this, let's discuss who will be the commander of our team, and we'll follow their orders from now on. What do you think?"
“I think there’s no problem. As for who should be in charge, I recommend Shen Dashen. Everyone has seen his steady work style and extremely keen sense of danger these past few days. In terms of ability, he is the best among us. I recommend Shen Jue as the commander.” Zhao Keke gave her full recommendation.
"I agree."
I agree.
"We have no problem."
Zhao Keke's proposal was unanimously approved. After this incident, the other four people's impression of Shen Jue deepened again, and their relationship reached the point of trust.
