Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

But as the adventurers left, a thief caught a glimpse of Bell in the corner.

He looked at Bell, who was convulsing and trembling, and recognized him as the white-haired rat who had always followed Edu. He didn't stab Bell.

At this point, Bell had to be thankful that he had been following Edu and that he had acquired a rather conspicuous white hair feature.

"It's a good thing these adventurers remembered my white fur, otherwise I would have suffered heatstroke like those ordinary bamboo rats."

Chapter 49 The Soaring Experience Bar

"Being drained to the point of near death, the feeling couldn't be worse."

He muttered something under his breath. Bell's body was out of control, but he was still relatively conscious.

His mental strength was quite high compared to humans, reaching 25 points, which allowed Bell to remain conscious even when his body was on the verge of death.

Moreover, at the end of this performance, Bell's body was no longer under his control; he was forced to manipulate his body's movements like a puppet using his mental power.

This act of breaking the body's self-protective limitations is also the root cause of Bear's near-death experience.

"As long as the grease covering my body hasn't burned off, with the blessing of [Fire-loving Wisdom], I can use my mental power to drive my body to move again despite fatigue."

Unfortunately, Bell is currently unable to obtain external energy through action to replenish his depleted body.

Edu also fainted and won't be opening his eyes for a while.

"As for me, I guess I'll have to rely on myself~"

Taking a deep breath, Bell chuckled to himself before gathering his meager mental strength and channeling his consciousness into his body.

He saw the verses he had etched into his own blood again.

"The sunflowers in the green garden await the morning dew to dry in the sun; the warm spring spreads its blessings, and all things shine with glory."

Use your mental power to silently recite the verses in your heart, and repeat the imagery depicted in the verses over and over again.

Amidst the chaotic magic caused by the battle, wisps of life-giving magic slowly emerged and enveloped Bell.

His withered body was nourished, and the discomfort in his body subsided at a slow pace.

Based on the current progress, it is estimated that it will take about ten hours for Bell to completely eliminate the negative effects on his body.

"Once I can barely move, I'll stop absorbing this magic power, sneak into the battlefield, and see if I can pick up any scraps..."

Talking to himself, Bell recalled what had happened on the battlefield. If he wasn't mistaken, adventurers had died in this battle.

Bell's "Fire Wisdom" allows him to glean information from the burning of flames.

After acquiring this ability, Bell always wanted to test what effect it would have on magical beasts or humans.

But despite his thoughts, Bell was never able to put them into practice due to his own limitations.

After all, he was as fragile as paper before; if those magical beasts touched him, he would lose most of his life.

"But times have changed, and my time to turn things around has come."

He muttered something fiercely, but because of the exaggerated facial expressions that pulled at the muscles in his large face, he had to behave himself.

He gathered the faintest, gentlest wisp of magic around his body, and was just about to lament when this would ever end, when his body suddenly stiffened.

[Experience +3]

[Experience +1]

[Experience +6]

[Experience +3]

……

A barrage of information about increased experience kept ringing in Bell's mind, like a private message explosion.

In a realm beyond Bell's perception, wisps of energy emanated from the corpses of those magical beasts, slowly converging towards him.

On the body.

The energy that initially flowed in came from the corpses of the magical beasts closest to his body.

Gradually, energy began to gather from the distant monster corpses.

Then came the fire-chewing hyenas that were pinned down by magical arrows; energy also gathered in Bell's body from their corpses.

"These experience points... is it because the performance gives adventurers a boost that allows me to gain experience?"

Bell was a little confused about the situation, but with the experience points flowing in, his body began to recover at an astonishing speed.

The expected recovery time of ten hours has been shortened to a few tens of minutes.

About three minutes later, Bell regained his basic mobility, and ten minutes later, Bell was able to run around the world as he did at the beginning.

At the same time, under the perception of [Information Insight], Bell's experience bar also surged to an astonishing level.

Bear Grylls

Race: Bamboo Rat (Small Animal Template)

Level: lv.6 (127/35)

Bell himself wasn't quite sure what his 100+ experience bar meant, since he had no experience to begin with.

It's the first time, and young people don't know any better; they don't know where to start.

But Bell had a feeling that all he needed was a simple period of sleep to usher in a new round of changes.

Moreover, this will be a huge change; in Bell's premonition, new abilities are being developed.

"Okay, I'll strike while the iron is hot, go to the battlefield and get a decent corpse, then I'll go back to Edu's side and sleep."

Having made up his mind, Bell took a step forward and stealthily entered the battlefield, which was being cleaned up by a large number of adventurers.

He needed to find a good entry point, otherwise, if these adventurers discovered him, he would most likely face death.

"So many people are gathered around the human corpse? It seems I'm not meant to be with these humans and can't collect their bodies."

Walking on the edge of the battlefield, Bell jumped onto the head of a boar and looked at the battlefield before him.

He expressed deep sorrow over the lack of positive response from people to cremation arrangements.

Unable to burn humans to ashes and put them in small boxes, Bell had to settle for second best and decided to search for a decent monster corpse.

He first glanced at the direction where the fire-chewing hyenas had died and noticed that people had gathered around.

"Damn it, everyone knows that the carcass of a dominant creature like a fire hyena is valuable, right?"

Even if he were to chew on the fire hyena's corpse, Bell couldn't get his hands on it.

With a pained expression, he searched through a few deserted corners and finally found a monster corpse that was barely acceptable.

Shadow Leopard, it's it again!

This large, glossy black panther seemed to have a grudge against Bell, as they kept running into each other.

"One is a cat, and the other is a mouse; they are indeed incompatible."

Muttering something to himself, Bell drew his iron sword.

With a single, powerful strike, he severed the Shadow Leopard's head.

His condition has improved somewhat, but Bell wouldn't be foolish enough to set fire to a corpse in front of humans.

This kind of behavior, directly telling others 'Come and hit me, you idiot,' is not something Bell can do at this stage.

"My inventory is too small, and there aren't enough slots, so there's no way I can fit you in, Leopard Brother."

Bell patted the leopard's rump with his paw, then took its head with him. With materials to burn the carcass, Bell felt much more at ease.

Now he can return to Edu's side with peace of mind and begin a restful sleep.

He was eager to see what this new round of slumber would bring him.

Chapter 50 My nephew Edu has the makings of a hero.

As the saying goes, read more books and newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and sleep more.

Each time Bell absorbs experience points to strengthen himself, he needs to enter a state of slumber.

If he were in a bamboo forest, Bear Grylls would also have a headache about his safety while he was asleep.

But in the human camp, Bell wasn't worried about this at all.

All he needs to do is completely conceal his magic and make himself appear as an adorable white bamboo rat to others.

As Edu's pet, Bell won't be turned into a riverside barbecue.

In a good mood, Bell jogged to the tent that Jasmine had left for Edu, crawled inside, found a corner, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep.

Compared to Edu, who was still lying dead outside, the environment inside the tent was undoubtedly much more comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, Bell lost all awareness of the outside world and possessed a speed of falling asleep and quality of sleep that the author greatly envied.

After making such a commotion tonight, even prominent figures like Edu and Bale have fallen asleep.

Although they were both unconscious, the world continued to turn.

The two young guys slept soundly, but the older managers couldn't rest, highlighting the problem of older people having trouble sleeping.
