Luo Xinglan: "Side effects of the card? What card has side effects?"
Just now, Jiang Ruobai controlled such a huge amount of sand, which was truly unbelievable.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Ruobai's strength, he should not be able to control the sand.
How did he do that?
Jiang Ruobai slowly said, "It's a talisman that Old Evil failed to draw. It can instantly enhance the survivor's abilities a hundredfold."
"Instantly enhances abilities a hundredfold?" Luo Xinglan looked at him with some skepticism. "Such a powerful talisman, and it's just a failed attempt at drawing?"
It’s really unfair of Talisman Laoxie to not give her such a powerful talisman?
Jiang Ruobai remained silent for a while before saying, "During use, the user is very likely to be backfired by this powerful force. Moreover, after use, the user will be in a weakened state for 12 hours."
The reason he vomited blood was because he was attacked by the backlash of the power. Fortunately, Jiang Mingze used the Rejuvenation Pill on him in time, which saved his life.
Luo Xinglan realized the seriousness of the situation and couldn't help but become serious: "Being attacked by the power? In other words, you might have died just now?"
Jiang Ruobai nodded silently.
Sun Zexia was both angry and distressed: "Boss, how could you use a card with such severe side effects without any hesitation? You're gambling with your life! What if you lose and die!"
Jiang Ruobai said weakly: "I won the bet."
Sun Zexia was so angry that he was speechless.
Luo Xinglan's tone was somewhat solemn: "Jiang Ruobai, we are truly grateful that you risked your life to give us a chance to survive, but have you ever considered that perhaps we wouldn't want to see you make such a huge sacrifice?"
If she knew that her life would cost others their lives, it would undoubtedly be a burden for her.
Jiang Mingze: "Yes, it's very selfless of you to do this, but we are under a lot of pressure."
Jiang Ruobai said helplessly, "You're all overthinking things. I'm just a little weak right now, but nothing else."
Luo Xinglan: "If Jiang Mingze hadn't given you the rejuvenation pill just now, do you think you would still be able to stand here and talk to us?"
Sun Zexia: "That's right, Boss, don't be so selfless next time. We are not useless!"
“I understand,” Jiang Ruobai sighed, changing the subject. “I feel better now. Let’s continue searching for the jade crystal.”
Luo Xinglan didn't continue the topic.
Her top priority now is to find the jade crystal as soon as possible.
However, having just narrowly escaped a massive sandstorm, she was now starting to doubt her intuition.
Is moving forward really the right direction?
Seeing her hesitation, the little ear mouse said, "Sister, let me try."
Luo Xinglan looked down at it: "Can you smell the scent of jade crystal?"
The little mouse relies on scent to find treasure, but the sandstorms here are too strong, which greatly affects its ability to judge scents.
Does it have any other way?
The little-eared mouse said proudly, "Sister, have you forgotten that I am the king of mice? I can ask the native mice of this desert; they may know something."
Luo Xinglan remembered.
The little mouse once ordered many little squirrels to bring her food, and none of them resisted.
From this perspective, the little-eared mouse can indeed command rodents.
She looked at the little-eared mouse with some anticipation: "Mouse, it's up to you now!"
The little eared mouse nodded seriously: "Yes, I will definitely help my sister find what she needs!"
After saying that, it sat on the ground, squinted its eyes and murmured, "Army of rats, listen to my command and come quickly!"
Although I have witnessed the ritual of the small-eared mouse summoning rats once, I still feel digging my toes when I see it again.
Fortunately, Jiang Mingze and the other two couldn't understand what the little mouse was saying.
Sun Zexia looked at the little eared mouse in surprise and asked, "Xiao Lanlan, is this your pet? What is it squeaking about?"
Luo Xinglan: "...Actually, I don't understand either."
Sun Zexia looked at the little ear mouse with a face full of curiosity.
A moment later, a baby gerbil emerged from the nearby sand.
Its sly little eyes darted around, and its tone was full of respect: "I just heard the king's call!"
Luo Xinglan: "..."
I really hate that I can understand rat language.
Sun Zexia was even more surprised: "Huh, how come there's another gerbil? Strange, this gerbil isn't afraid of people at all?"
Nobody paid him any attention.
Upon seeing the little eared mouse, the little gerbil immediately prostrated itself on the ground and knelt down respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Rat King! I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty the Rat King!"
The little-eared mouse opened its eyes and nodded with a rather imposing air: "You're a gerbil? Where are the other members of your gerbil clan? Why are you the only one here?"
The little gerbil buried its head in the ground: "Reporting to the Rat King, all my people have gone out to find food, and I'm the only one left to guard the house. But they heard your call and will surely come soon!"
As soon as it finished speaking, other gerbils came rushing over from all directions.
At first there was only one, and soon another one came...
Within a minute, Luo Xinglan and the others were surrounded by a dense army of gerbils.
Sun Zexia's voice trembled: "What's going on? Why are there so many gerbils suddenly here? Are they thinking of us as food? Then we can't just sit there and wait for death!"
After saying that, he reached for the crossbow.
Fortunately, Luo Xinglan was quick to stop him: "Wait a moment! They are not interested in you, don't hurt them."
Sun Zexia glanced at the army of gerbils, then at the little eared mouse sitting upright, and said, a beat slow, "Xiao Lanlan, are these gerbils after your pet?"
Luo Xinglan nodded.
Sun Zexia was shocked: "What's the background of your pet? How can it command so many gerbils?"
Luo Xinglan couldn't explain it either.
She only met the little-eared mouse when she was trying to complete a mission. At that time, it was only a few days old. How could she know where it came from?
Soon, the little ear mouse told the gerbil army about its search for jade crystals.
"Jade crystal? What's that?"
"I don't know! I've only ever seen plant seeds!"
"I've seen a kind of glittering stone before, could that be jasper crystal?"
"Stupid! That's gold!"
"Lord Rat King, what exactly is the Jade Crystal?"
"..."
