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

This tremor wasn't like an earthquake, where everything in an entire area shakes. Instead, it felt like there were many densely packed, scattered points of vibration beneath the ground.

The vibrations had varying frequencies and extremely small amplitudes, but fortunately, Bell, being a small animal, was able to detect them.

"Then let me see what these tremors hidden beneath the ground are."

Catching his breath, Bell took another step.

The best way to understand what the tremors under the bamboo forest are is to go underground and see for yourself. And in the bamboo forest, there is no creature better at digging burrows than the bamboo rat.

This is the specialty of bamboo rats; in this bamboo forest, no one truly knows how to dig burrows better than me.

"Squeak!!"

As soon as Bell stepped into the cave he had chosen, he heard threatening sounds coming from inside. It was the bamboo rats living in the cave showing off to him and trying to drive Bell, an outsider.

Hearing this sound, Bell knew he had found the right place.

The cave that Bell chose this time was not the unfinished cave where he used to live, which he had only dug a little bit of.

This cave is interconnected and has a winding interior with more than a dozen entrances leading to various places. Judging from the traces at the entrances and inside the cave, bamboo rats frequently pass through and maintain it.

Creating such a large-scale bamboo rat burrow required the combined efforts of several generations of bamboo rats.

Following his bamboo rat instincts, Bell walked straight into the depths of the cave, and in just two breaths, he ran into his fellow bamboo rats living in the cave.

It was a fierce-looking brown bamboo rat with bared teeth. It blocked the middle of the cave path, trying to stop Bell from going any further.

Unfortunately, Bell, having already been promoted to the next level, is now separated from ordinary bamboo rats by a pitiful, thick barrier.

"An opponent like you is not worth my sword."

With a childish squeak, Bell uttered something the bamboo rat opposite couldn't understand. Then, with a single paw, Bell shoved the bamboo rat's head down and forcefully squeezed through the burrow.

go with.

Bell could sense that there were many other bamboo rats in the cave, but he had no interest in dealing with these mindless fellow rats.

After all, Bell wasn't interested in female bamboo rats living in the bamboo forest.

Although he was reincarnated as a big white rat, Bell still wanted to find a very big older sister to accompany him. Don't ask why, it's just a boy's pure and simple dream.

As the saying goes, 'I wanted to yell at her, but her breasts were just too big.'

(Where the hell did this proverb come from?)

Lost in thought, Bell descended the path, following the tunnel dug by the bamboo rat family, avoiding the numerous intertwined and knotted bamboo roots, and finally found the source of the vibration.

“These bamboo roots are different from the bamboo roots I remember. The bamboo roots here are thinner, but they extend very deep downwards and intertwine to form a tough net.”

Passing between two bamboo roots lying across the passage, Bell explained that although his body was round, it was just fluffy hair; he only looked fat.

"This is it. My guess was right. There are also living remains under the bamboo forest. However, the soil and bamboo roots here are harder to break through than the soft, wet soil on the riverbank, preventing the living remains from crawling out."

By patiently digging through the soil between the bamboo roots, Bell discovered a thick bone that was trembling constantly among the tangled roots.

After digging through the soil, the ominous aura emanating from the bone filled the entire bamboo rat burrow, causing the bamboo rats that Bell passed by to scream in fright.

However, for Bale, these ominous signs were not enough to stop him.

Using Information Insight on the trembling bone, Bell was finally able to see complete enemy intelligence.

Meanwhile, Bell also discovered a characteristic of information insight during tonight's encounter: the greater the gap in strength between information insight and the target being investigated, the slower information insight can acquire information.

He had spent a lot of time staring at the fire-chewing hyena before he gathered enough information.

The same thing happened when I was staring at the living remains. It took a lot of mental energy to figure out what the living remains' skill called "Blessing of the Evil Moon" was.

【Blessing of the Evil Moon】 is a very unique passive skill, unlike active skills such as 【Mimicry】 and 【Chewing Fire】 that Bell has encountered before.

【Blessing of the Evil Moon】has no offensive or defensive capabilities; its only effect is to consume magic power to make these long-decayed remains become undead and act again.

The source of the magic that brings the remains to life is the purple evil moon in the sky. As long as the evil moon has not yet set, these remains can obtain a continuous source of magic from it.

This is something Bell can only envy. The light of the evil moon is a blessing to these remains, but to a living creature like Bell, it is nothing short of poison.

"I don't know how long this evil moon will last, or how many living remains it will generate... But if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Aren't those fire-chewing hyenas out hunting living remains? I'll just stay here and scavenge underground."

No longer pondering the unknown secrets behind the [Blessing of the Evil Moon] skill, Bell, having already reached this point, continued digging downwards along the trembling bone before him, his target being the head of the living remains.

He hadn't forgotten how the experience bar of the fire-chewing hyena that swallowed the ghostly fire from the skull of the activated remains had skyrocketed.

Chapter 10 I'm no ordinary mouse!

"I'm a hardworking digger, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho~"

Climbing onto the trembling bone, Bell dug along the skeletal structure, his two front paws digging rapidly, perfectly embodying the proverb, "Like begets like."

If a bamboo rat doesn't have to worry about trivial matters like eating and drinking, and devotes itself wholeheartedly to the great cause of digging burrows, this little creature can unleash amazing potential.

Even though the soil deep underground was hard and dense, Bell still managed to dig a narrow path for himself.

It's worth noting that Bell didn't dig in a straight line, but instead spiraled along the bone structure to prevent the holes he made from expanding the range of movement of the revitalized remains.

About half an hour later, Bell arrived at the eye sockets of the living remains, which were sealed by bamboo roots and soil.

"God knows what kind of creature this guy was in his previous life. His skeleton is so huge that just one of his eye sockets could fit three of me."

Upon arriving near the pupil fire that had activated the remains, the skeleton beneath Bell's feet began to tremble and struggle violently. Although the creature was mindless and unable to move, it still possessed the instinct to protect itself.

In an attempt to drive away Bell from standing on it, the activated remains released a large amount of ominous energy, causing Bell to feel dizzy and seeing all sorts of bizarre images flash before his eyes.

The chills and weakness made Bell tremble all over, but his reason was still able to control his body, and he did not succumb to fear and turn to run away.

With two bone spurs tied with straw rope from his waist, Bell leaped into the eye sockets of the resurrected remains.

"Kakaka-"

With such a foreign object intruding into its eye socket, the living remains trembled violently, and the entire skeleton shook and cracked.

Unfortunately, the complex and tangled bamboo roots underground locked it in place, making it difficult for the massive remains to move.

"Ugh, in a place like underground where there's no light source, the undead's eye fire can provide a faint illumination effect, which helps me figure out where to attack."

He swung his two bone spikes and stabbed at the rising pupil fire. The pale flames instantly became extremely turbulent, spreading upwards along the bone spikes and covering Bell's face.

Although the flames were not hot enough to ignite Bell's fur, Bell still felt a strong stinging pain from being surrounded by them.

He rolled downwards, his round body crushing the rising flames in his eyes, causing the living remains to struggle wildly.

"It's so cold to pinch the cat's skin. This thing could be used as a refrigerator in the summer."

Bell swept the two bone spikes around his eye sockets, temporarily dispersing the flames within.

Without wasting any time, he rushed to the bottom of his eye socket and plunged two bone spikes into a gap in the bone.

These regenerated remains have decayed for many years, and their skeletons look exceptionally large, exuding a unique sense of power.

But from the perspective of a small animal like Bell, these remains have all sorts of tiny cracks and fissures.

The ominous aura emanating from the remains can repel normal small animals and insects, greatly slowing down their decay.

Unfortunately, Bell, possessing human intelligence and a strong sense of purpose, defied the ominous aura emanating from the reanimated remains and arrived at the...

Inside the skull of the remains.

"Almost, just a little bit more... It's done."

By inserting two bone spurs into the deep cracks in his eye sockets, Bell forcefully widened the tiny fissures and stuffed his little paws into the gaps.

This is the limit of what Bell has achieved.

If the resurrected remains hadn't been underground, trapped by thick soil and bamboo roots, it could have easily killed Bell.

After all, there is a species difference between him and the living remains. Even though the living remains are the lowest level of undead creatures, their physical strength is naturally higher than that of Bell, the weakest small animal template.

Not to mention, the level of the revitalized remains is much higher than that of Bell.

Even if Bear Grylls, being a bamboo rat, were to exhaust himself tonight, he would most likely be unable to cause any substantial damage to the resurrected remains.

"My head is getting dizzier and dizzier. I guess I'll lose my mind in a few minutes and turn into a little animal... But unfortunately, I'm not an ordinary little animal. How could I, Bear Rirres, fight an unprepared battle?"

With a thought, the boxes in the inventory appeared before Bell's eyes.

Select the item [Compressed Soil Block], then—

freed!

Just like when he first released the compressed dirt from his inventory, Bell's body was repelled by the suddenly appearing compressed dirt and was instantly squeezed out of the living remains' eye sockets.

"Releasing a large item in a confined space really messed with me. I'm pretty sure this front paw of mine will break..."

Pressed down by the clod of earth, Bell felt like he was on a crowded bus during rush hour, experiencing a helpless sense of suffocation.
