Upon hearing the sound, Chen Mo immediately stood up, raised his shield in front of him, and assumed a fighting stance.

Looking around, he saw a slender figure peeking out from around the corner of the passage ahead.

Is it a person?

Are there other people here?

As Chen Mo was pondering, the other person bent over and slowly walked out.

Amidst the flashing lightning, Chen Mo finally saw that the other party was neither human nor inhuman.

Its body was deathly pale, covered in white fur, with slender hands and feet, and a head that resembled that of a rat.

Dressed in a long black robe, he approached Chen Mo timidly.

"Stand still!"

Chen Mo sternly stopped the other party, regardless of who they were, preventing them from getting close was the right thing to do.

Chen Mo was still wondering if the other party was a monster.

The white-haired mouse immediately stopped, then rubbed its paws and said...

"Great card, I, a lowly one, salute you. Please grant me some water; I have not had a sip for many days. The tree crocodile dwells here, and I dare not provoke it."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did you just see our battle?"

The white-haired mouse nodded repeatedly.

"I see it, I see it. Great Card Master, you are the strongest Card Master I have ever seen. In all those years before you, no Card Master dared to truly fight the Tree Crocodile; they were all led away by their Guides."

Chen Mo cursed inwardly. There was actually such a method. Not having a guide was a real disadvantage!

Seeing that Chen Mo's expression changed slightly, the white-haired rat immediately continued to flatter him.

"Your strength inspires awe, your courage inspires reverence."

Chen Mo abruptly interrupted him.

"Alright. You're quite the schemer. But can you explain to me why you dare to talk to me, who defeated the tree crocodile, when you wouldn't even mess with it?"

Chen Mo stretched out his iron sword and pointed it at the white-haired rat's head.

"If you want water, shouldn't you wait until I leave before coming over? Wouldn't that be safer?"

The white-haired mouse immediately panicked.

"Um... well... okay, you're right. Theft!"

A white light appeared in the white-haired rat's hand, and the next moment Chen Mo clearly saw something fly out of his body. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than his gold coins.

That damn rat! It dared to steal my money!

The gold coin flew into the white-haired mouse's hand. The next moment, the white-haired mouse landed on all fours, turned around, and ran away.

Chen Mo immediately quickened his pace to chase after him; those were a full ten gold coins, he absolutely couldn't lose them!

Just as he reached the corner, Chen Mo realized that the white-haired rat was gone.

Under the flashes of lightning, the straight passage in front of them was completely exposed, leaving no place to hide.

Chen Mo immediately squatted down to take a look.

footprint!

The footprints disappeared behind the high wall next to them. Did they climb over the wall and run away?

Impossible. Thorns would cause harm, and the wall is so high that even if he could climb it, he wouldn't be able to do it that fast.

has a problem!

Chen Mo arrived at the spot where the footprints disappeared and suddenly slammed his shield against the wall.

The next moment, he was not hindered at all and crashed into it.

False wall!

Phantom Wall!

What came into view was a narrow road, and the white-haired rat looked at him in surprise, seemingly not expecting that Chen Mo could also catch up.

"No...don't come any closer!"

The white-haired rat stammered, but Chen Mo gritted his teeth and began to charge.

Chen Mo had only run a few steps when he suddenly felt himself step on something, and the next moment a loud rumbling sound came from above.

Chen Mo looked up and was shocked to see countless boulders falling from the wall above him.

His pupils dilated violently, and Chen Mo immediately accelerated forward.

Dead rat, and there was even a trap inside!

Huge rocks kept crashing down behind him, so Chen Mo could only accelerate and accelerate, as the dust and gravel kicked up behind him pounded against his back.

The white-haired mouse was also running away in a panic. It was probably frightened and it was running unsteadily, even bumping into the wall at one point.

Seeing that the distance between the two was now less than ten meters, Chen Mo hardened his heart and used his new card.

Blood Slash!

He swung his longsword fiercely, and a surge of blood energy seemed to erupt from every pore of his body.

Pain coursed through his body, like being stabbed by countless needles. His blood energy transformed into a crescent-shaped sword aura that struck the white-haired rat squarely on the back.

The white-haired rat immediately had a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain, and its body rolled several times on the ground.

Chen Mo sped up and chased after it again, and was about to catch up with the white-haired rat.

Suddenly, the white-haired rat exhaled a puff of black smoke, and its body disappeared into the smoke.

Chen Mo raised his shield and charged through the black smoke, only to find that the white-haired rat had disappeared again.

He quickly bent down to look at the footprints again. This time, the footprints led to the left wall, but Chen Mo turned around and rushed towards the right wall.

Hmph, you think you can fool me with such a clumsy trick?

The footprints were clearly not right; the last footprint was too deep, making it look more like a twisting motion rather than a forward thrust.

Stepping inside, I found another hidden wall.

This time, it wasn't a passageway, but a dead end. The white-haired rat was constantly scratching at something on the wall with its paws.

Upon hearing footsteps behind it, the white-haired mouse immediately turned its head, its eyes filled with terror.

"Great card player, I shouldn't have stolen your things. Here are your gold coins and healing potions, please let me go!"

The white-haired rat frantically grabbed something and threw it at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't even glance at the gold coins; he could take them back even if he killed you.

But the medicine—Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at it. The green medicine on the ground was contained in a transparent round bottle, seemingly radiating a sense of life.

Just as Chen Mo turned his head, the white-haired rat suddenly scurried back into the wall.

A ripple appeared on the wall, like some kind of passage, and the white-haired rat quickly left.

By the time Chen Mo rushed over and stabbed with his sword, the ripples had already quickly subsided.

Whether he hit the target or not, Chen Mo bumped into it twice more, and the wall no longer seemed to be an illusion wall.

Let him get away, I don't want to catch him again!

Turning around, Chen Mo quickly picked up the gold coins and the potion.

All ten gold coins were returned; this white-haired rat was quite sensible.

As for the medicine, there are white text descriptions on the bottle when you turn it over.

Health potion: Restores 20 health points.

A blood vial the size of a fingertip, enough for only one sip.

Chen Mo was quite satisfied. This item might help him get through the most critical moment; it was definitely a lifesaver.

It's worth it!

Although we didn't catch the rat and lost ten health points, it's nothing serious.

The potion is placed in the designated potion compartment; this item cannot be put into the backpack.

Chen Mo thought that he could put any extra potions in his clothes pockets so they wouldn't take up space in his backpack or potion slots.

It might break, but the potion slots are really too small.

After putting his things away, Chen Mo took out his notebook and looked for the white-haired rat's illustrations and any guides on how to access hidden doors.

Got it!
