Chapter 9 Under the bamboo forest
"I'm so stupid, really."
Bell's face was slumped, and his expression was full of exhaustion.
"I just figured out why the fire-chewing hyenas would gather together to hunt for the activated remains, but I didn't expect that the reason for the appearance of these activated remains is probably related to the purple moon in the sky."
Quickly recalling what happened tonight, Bell found that all the things beyond his knowledge appeared after the purple moon crossed the sky.
Bell's intuition told him that the reason why those skeletons that had been dead for many years could move again was the weird Ziyue.
Looking up at the fragmented shadow of the moonlight cast from the thick bamboo leaves, Bell continued to think along the clues he found.
"Since the purple moonlight can activate the dead skeletons under the river beach, then the returned bones in other places will also be affected by the moonlight. So why do the hyenas hunting the activated remains only gather on the river beach..."
"Unless, no living remains will be born in the bamboo forest, or the resurrected skeletons in the bamboo forest will be blocked by something."
The keen sense inherent in the bamboo rat's small body reminds him that the ground beneath Bell has been shaking.
This kind of tremor is not the feeling of an earthquake, where everything in an entire area is shaking. It is another kind of tremor, where there are many dense scattered points shaking under the ground.
The frequency of this vibration varies, and the amplitude is extremely small. Fortunately, Bell, as a small animal, captured this vibration.
"So, let me see what these tremors hidden under the ground are."
After taking a breath, Bell took steps again.
If you want to know what the tremors are under the bamboo forest, the best way is to go directly underground and see with your own eyes. In the bamboo forest, there is no creature that is better at digging caves than the bamboo rat.
This is the special skill of the bamboo rat clan. In this bamboo forest, it can be said that no one knows how to dig holes better than me.
"Squeak!!"
As soon as he stepped into the cave he chose, Bell heard the threatening sound of the bamboo rats coming from the cave. It was the bamboo rats living in the cave who were demonstrating to him and wanted to expel Bell, an outsider.
Hearing this voice, Bell knew he was in the right place.
The cave that Bell chose this time was not the unfinished cave that he had only dug a little bit before.
This cave extends in all directions, twists and turns inside, and has more than ten entrances to various places. Judging from the traces at the entrance and inside the cave, bamboo rats often pass through and maintain it.
To build such a large-scale bamboo rat burrow requires the efforts of the entire bamboo rat family for several generations.
Following his bamboo rat instinct, Bell walked straight into the depths of the cave. In just two breaths, he came face to face with the same race living in the cave.
It was a brown bamboo rat with a fierce look and big teeth. It blocked the middle of the cave road, trying to prevent Bell from going deeper.
But it is a pity that Bell, who has already advanced to the first level, has a sadly thick barrier between him and ordinary bamboo rats.
"An opponent like you is not worthy of my sword."
The second-year student squeaked something that even the bamboo rat opposite him couldn't understand. After Bell pressed down the head of the bamboo rat opposite him with his paw, he squeezed through the hole with an extremely arrogant gesture.
Bell could sense that there were a large number of other bamboo rats in the cave, but he was in no mood to deal with these unintelligent fellows.
After all, Bell is not interested in the female bamboo rats living in the bamboo forest.
Although he was reincarnated into a big white-haired mouse, Bell still wanted to find a big big sister as a companion. Don't ask why, it's just a boy's innocent and simple dream.
As the saying goes, ‘I wanted to yell at her, but her breasts were too big’.
(Where the hell did this saying come from)
Bell, who was thinking wildly, went all the way down, followed the passage dug by the bamboo rat family, bypassed a large number of bamboo roots that were entangled and knotted with each other, and found the source of the vibration.
"These bamboo roots are different from the bamboo roots in my memory. The bamboo roots here are thinner, but they spread very deep downwards and intertwine with each other to form a tough network."
Passing between two bamboo roots lying across the passage, Bell said that although his body was round, it was just fluffy hair and he just looked fat.
"This is it. My guess is indeed correct. There are also activated remains under the bamboo forest. However, the soil and bamboo roots here are more difficult to break through than the soft and wet soil on the river beach, making it impossible for the activated remains below to crawl out."
p>
Patiently peeling away the soil between the bamboo roots, Bell found a thick bone that was constantly shaking between the entangled bamboo roots.
After peeling away the soil, the ominous aura wrapped around the bone filled the entire bamboo rat cave, causing the bamboo rats that Bell ignored to scream in fright.
But for Bell, these ominous atmospheres are not enough to stop him.
【Activated Remains】
Type: Undead
Level:lv.5
HP:24
Mental strength: 18
Magic:10
Skill: [Evil Moon Blessing]
Using information insight on this trembling bone, Bell was finally able to see complete enemy intelligence this time.
At the same time, Bell also discovered a characteristic of information insight in tonight's encounter. The greater the strength gap between it and the detection target, the slower the information insight will obtain information.
When he stared at the fire-chewing hyena, he wasted a lot of time before gathering enough information.
The same is true now when I stare at the activated remains. It took a lot of mental energy to understand what the skill of the activated remains called [Blessing of the Evil Moon] is.
[Blessing of the Evil Moon] is different from the active skills such as [Mimicry] and [Fire Chewing] that Bell has encountered. It is an extremely unique passive skill.
[Evil Moon Blessing] does not have any attack or defense capabilities. Its only effect is to consume magic power and make these decayed remains become undead and move again.
The source of magic power for the activated remains is the purple evil moon in the sky. As long as the evil moon has not yet set, these remains can obtain a steady stream of magic power from it.
This is something Bell cannot envy. The light of the evil moon is a blessing to these remains, but to living creatures like Bell, it is tantamount to poison.
"I don't know how long this evil moon will last, and how many activated remains will be generated... But if the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up, and those fire-chewing hyenas will be out hunting for the activated remains, so I will feel safe.
The heart is humble underground."
No longer thinking about how many unknown secrets there were behind the skill [Evil Moon Blessing], Bell, who had already come this far, continued to dig downwards along the trembling bone in front of him, aiming directly at the activated remains.
Head.
