Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 136, Goodbye Little Mouse

Although Liang Dong was very close, he didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Yue. He saw Lin Yue quietly closing her eyes and assumed she was resting. So he got up and walked towards the "battlefield" where a fierce battle had just taken place, intending to scavenge the mess and see if he could find anything useful for them.

With nearly half of the teleportation time already gone, the two of them could only cautiously huddle in the small cave, not daring to venture out easily.

If we can find some useful items from the remains of these stinging ants, then this adventure will not have been in vain.

Just as Liang Dong was busily searching through the "battlefield," Lin Yue finally gradually came to her senses from that strange and chaotic state. She slowly blinked, her eyes gradually regaining their usual sharpness and determination.

Although the series of memory fragments that had just surged in and receded like a tide were gone, she still remembered one thing: a very useful skill—summoning magic.

According to Lin Yue's hazy memory, this summoning spell possessed magical power, capable of summoning a creature perfectly suited to break the summoner's current predicament. Although the stinging ants had been successfully eliminated, the crisis they faced was not yet over.

Outside the cave, there's that short NPC who could appear at any time, hanging over their heads like a sword of Damocles!

Although Lin Yue didn't know what this summoning spell could summon, she had a strong intuition that the summoned creature would be of great help to her and Liang Dong.

Lin Yue turned to look at Liang Dong, who was busy on the "battlefield," and raised her voice to greet him: "Uncle Dong, I'm going to try out a skill!"

After receiving Liang Dong's response, she took a deep breath and immediately activated the summoning spell.

A complex and dazzling stream of light swept across the ground before Lin Yue's eyes, like the trajectory of stars unfolding in this small space. As the light flickered, accompanied by a soft buzzing sound, a small ball of light slowly emerged from the ground after a moment. The ball of light emitted a soft golden glow, illuminating a small area around it.

"Zhizhizhi?"

Accompanied by a familiar chirping sound, a small golden mouse appeared within the ball of light. It stared wide-eyed at its surroundings with a look of utter confusion before finally fixing its gaze on Lin Yue. The two stared at each other, and an awkward silence instantly fell over the room.

Why is it this ancestor?

Lin Yue was truly caught off guard, and the little mouse, upon seeing Lin Yue, was equally puzzled with its round little eyes. However, it quickly became happy, squeaking joyfully a few times, and then flung out a pile of prey from the space with a "whoosh".

Since Jinxuan ate the snacks and food left by Lin Yue, her health has improved significantly. From then on, the little mouse often went out hunting alone.

Moreover, it was extremely picky when hunting, with very high standards, only favoring targets with exceptionally high life force. Subconsciously, in its little mind, it believed that such prey would bring greater benefits to Jinxuan.

But even with so much excellent prey, a good cook is useless. Now, the cook has conveniently delivered himself to our doorstep—the little mouse must be overjoyed!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak," the little mouse excitedly pointed at the prey scattered on the ground, its two little paws waving incessantly, clearly urging Lin Yue to hurry up and start cooking.

Lin Yue never expected that the summoning spell would summon such a "master" for her. Looking at its impatient posture, she was really at a loss for words.

The commotion quickly caught Liang Dong's attention. He put down what he was doing and hurried over. When he saw the pile of clearly high-level plants and animals on the ground, a look of astonishment crossed his face for a moment: "Xiao Yue, what's this?"

Lin Yue was silent for a moment before introducing the animals to Liang Dong: "Uncle Dong, this is... um... a friend of mine's pet. It brought these prey over and asked me to help cook them."

Liang Dong had clearly never encountered anything like this before, but he quickly recovered, a gentle smile spreading across his face as he nodded and said, "Then you two catch up first, I'll take care of these things."

When it comes to butchering and cleaning prey, Liang Dong is far more professional than Lin Yue, a fact Lin Yue is well aware of, which is why she confidently entrusted the task to him.

Seeing that Liang Dong had already started packing, Lin Yue turned her head to look at the little mouse that was staring at her expectantly, and asked seriously, "Mouse, can you speak human language?"

The little mouse's golden fur bristled, its eyes widened, and it looked sullen, as if it had been provoked by Lin Yue's words. Seeing this, Lin Yue quickly coughed and soothed it, saying, "Alright, alright, it's okay, don't be angry."

Seeing that Bai Shuang and Xuan Ye could both speak, she thought this wouldn't be difficult.

However, Lin Yue felt that since the summoning spell had brought the little mouse over, it meant that it could be of help to her and Liang Dong in their current situation. Although they couldn't communicate directly at the moment, she still planned to explain the current situation to him.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yue disregarded whether she could understand the little mouse's words. She sat cross-legged on the ground and carefully explained their current situation to the little mouse. Finally, she asked earnestly, "Little mouse, what should we do now? Do you have a way to deal with that short, strong man?"

The little mouse tilted its head and listened attentively. Then, a look of "That's it?" appeared on its face, as if it disregarded the predicament Lin Yue had described. Immediately afterward, it squeaked twice, turned around, and darted quickly towards the hole.

"A little mouse?" Lin Yue was startled and quickly got up to chase after it. However, when she reached the entrance of the hole, the golden figure had already vanished without a trace.

Lin Yue stared at the empty cave entrance, a strong premonition suddenly welling up inside her. She decisively waved her hand, collecting the prey on the ground and the parts that Liang Dong had just dissected. Then, looking at the astonished Liang Dong, she said, "Uncle Dong, get ready. I have a feeling that the NPC might be arriving soon."

Liang Dong jumped up as if by reflex, his eyes instantly becoming alert and sharp. Not long after, the two heard a series of heavy footsteps approaching from afar.
