"Twenty, twenty …" Bai Xiaoshen prayed.

"If there's no other way, I'll give ten of them to him."

"Seriously, if there's no other way, I'll just give you five."

Bai Xiaosjing could no longer keep anything else in her mind. Her mind was highly focused, the muscles in her limbs tensed up as she stared fixedly at the box. At this moment, she only had one goal and one belief in herself.

This was definitely not a matter of twenty fish hooks, it was related to her fate in this world from now on.

From now on, her summons would have to meticulously outline the lines, and she could still control it with her mind alone. The successes and failures of her life would be at this very moment.

Although Bai Xiaosjing's embroidery cloth was still small, it was very simple to make things. Regardless of whether it was bullets or fishhooks, no matter how these small objects were embroidered, they didn't make much of a difference. But then what? When her embroidery had become a hundred or more squares, or a larger middle or larger picture, the difference was the difference between heaven and earth.

It had to be known that it would take at least eight to ten days to finish a small, embroidered map. As for a large or large map, it would take at least a year or two.

Therefore, she cared a lot about this summoning.

Perhaps it was because she was afraid of the heavens, but when the box was truly opened, a metallic luster shot out. A fishing hook that was slightly thinner than a ballpoint pen and neatly arranged lay inside.

He swallowed and started to count.

"One, two, three …" She counted out the voices like a child.

"Phew, a total of ten." Bai Xiaosjing wiped her sweat away. This number wasn't the most, nor was it the least. But let's just leave it at that. How could the truth be as it is? Ten is better than one. "

She picked one up and examined it carefully. In the next moment, her hand froze in place.

Under the fishing hook that had been taken away, what was revealed was not the bottom of the box, but the shining hook of another fish.

"This?" Bai Xiaosheng was excited.

Moving her hand to the other hooks, she took them out one by one and placed them at her side, when all ten of them had been taken away.

With a bang, Bai Xiaosheng shut the box.

"My mother! From now on, I am going to be rich!"

When he opened the box again, he saw that there were ten other fish hooks shining in the box.

There were a total of twenty fish hooks, and he had achieved what he wanted.

"This is a terrible discovery. That is to say, from now on, anything that is complicated, weird, and unheard-of cannot become a problem. " Bai Xiaosheng was at a loss as to what to say in order to express her joy. Her heart was thumping wildly.

From now on, she would have whatever she wanted.

This was the beginning of a happy life.

"..."

It wasn't easy for her to suppress her excitement as her gaze returned to the fishing hook. She urgently wanted to test the sharpness of these little things.

In the next second, Bai Xiaosheng was sitting by the river, drawing circles with a depressed expression on her face.

"With a fishing hook but no fishing line …" I... "I …"

Her expression was like that of a child peeking through a window at a candy bar, and one could see the misery of not being able to eat it.

Just as Bai Xiaosjing rested her head on her knees, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. The hairs on her body stood up; this was a feeling that came from a person's intuition in a life or death situation. However, a person's will was much faster than their body. Her posture further restricted her body. By the time she realized the wind was coming at her, it was already too late.

Unbeknownst to her, Bai Xiaosheng had already committed a grave taboo.

Because most carnivores are in the habit of ambushing their prey by the water source, the movement of their heads down by the water source is no doubt a signal for the predators lurking on the side to begin their meal.

The last thing he saw was a thick, hairless tail. It was the tail of a prairie rodent. That's right, there was no absolute in this world. This rat just didn't like the sunlight, not because it couldn't see the light of day.

It's just a rat, not a vampire.

"..."

With the sound of his neck breaking, Bai Xiaosheng's world became tranquil.

In the haze, consciousness split from one into two.

The two were within reach, but the separated consciousness called to each other with the eagerness and madness of a child calling to its mother.

Then, with a "pu" sound, the two consciousness merged into one.

Bai Xiaosjing slowly opened her eyes. She thought she had had a long and strange dream. But the mouse that was still on top of her told her without any rebuttal that it was reality.

What was going on?

Bai Xiaosjing became flustered and used her hands and legs to push the dead mouse away from her body. Like most girls, she hated rats, but the scene in front of her eyes was beyond loathing or fear.

He forcefully suppressed the fear and disgust in his heart and stretched out his hands to touch himself carefully from top to bottom, both inside and out. She tried to look for the scars in her memories, but she couldn't find even the slightest one on her body.

"What's going on?" Bai Xiaosjing touched the back of her neck that was unharmed.

She clearly remembered that the Stoneater Rat had bitten her neck, but why was she unharmed?

He shifted his gaze onto the beast that had clearly just died. A bowl-sized scar forcefully snapped its spine at the junction of its head and neck. It seemed that this was the cause of death.

Why was it that although he was bitten, the wound appeared on his body?

Bai Xiaosheng forced herself to calm down. She recalled every detail of the entire process and then looked at it more closely.

This was a colossus with a body size that completely exceeded imagination, possessing a disgusting appearance similar to the rats in the old world. Its brown fur was thick but mottled, showing evidence of rotting tissue where there were no hairs. In these bare places, blood and pus poured out of them in a horrible and disgusting way.

It seemed that the place where the rats lived was not suitable for them to live. And these plains were not as peaceful as they appeared outside.

"Just how many more madmen are continuing to torture this land?" Bai Xiaosheng mumbled.

She suddenly thought of a location where, in a park near her family's home in her previous life, she had long displayed a collection of giant rats that were said to have been found at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

"I wonder what's the difference between those rats and those rats. Could it be that this is a world contaminated by high levels of nuclear radiation?"

She remembered the salivating look on the Horde's faces when they mentioned the Grassland Stoneater Rat. That expression proved that not only was the rat edible, but it had also been treated by them as a high-grade food for a long time.

Such a scary rat...

God bless her, just what kind of world did she enter?

Whatever the reason for this, or the consequences, the situation at the moment was unhelpful.

He quickly checked his own condition. The net bag was still hanging on her wrist. He spent the whole morning searching for a bunch of river clams. Other than the clothes on her back that were badly damaged, there was nothing else that she had lost.

However, this was only a small matter compared to what she had gained.

After this event, the embroidery experience increased from 10/500 to 67/500. Thus, a comprehensive assessment of the situation was a good thing.

Looking around, he realized that he was no longer at the familiar river, but somewhere in the thick grass. This was a completely unfamiliar place.

Looking at the sky, the sun had already set. According to the cooldown time of the embroidery, it was already 5 PM. It would be dark in two hours. At that time, the prairie would be filled with all kinds of carnivores, prairie rats, Corrupt Wolves, and even the most terrifying bloodsucking leeches.

If a mouse could mutate to such a state, then what kind of terrifying image would the other carnivores in this world have?

Bai Xiaosjing thought back to the two huge beasts she had first met, the two terrifying creatures that she didn't know if they were dogs or wolves, and the human corpse that they had devoured. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her desire for the tribe and Autumn rose in her heart.

Ye Ci dragged the rat by its tail. According to the strong woman, the prairie rodent was a good prey, and she didn't want to lose her first prey. However, the weight of her prey soon exhausted her strength.

He was panting heavily as he sat on the ground. Suddenly, an arrow shot over from his side …
