Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 173 172 Mana Exhaustion
"Far away, yet so close."

There was a hint of pride in Eclipse's tone.

"There is a kind of destruction that comes silently, yet is indestructible."

erosion.

Feng Xiuhu's eyes lit up: "Good big bug, you are finally useful!"

What is this word?

Eclipse said dissatisfiedly: "If you can't speak, then shut up - relax your mind and I'll lend you some magic power."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow on the ground began to spread to the side, like a bubble being separated. A small shadow was pulled out and transformed into a small "tiger" as it squirmed.

He bent down to look at the large shadow nearby—that was Feng Xiuhu—and couldn't help but laugh, "Where did this kitten come from?"

The cat stretched its body, stretched comfortably, then sat down and licked its paws lazily.

Feng Xiuhu kicked him and said, "You're still taking a break. Get back to work."

The cat shadow scratched Feng Xiuhu's leg in revenge, hooking off a few fragments of shadow.

He blew gently on his paw.

The fragments of shadow swirled into the house like weightless catkins.

The moment he crossed the threshold, Feng Xiuhu clearly saw a hazy light flash, and then the shadow fragments hung in the air - as if hanging on an invisible glass door.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow fragments began to emit a reddish-brown glow. In just a few breaths, the red light quickly spread out in all directions and flashed by.

The shadow fragments fell quietly to the ground.

The "glass door" disappeared.

Feng Xiuhu looked up and saw that the "Hearing the Wind and Listening to the Rain Talisman" on the tray had become extremely old. Its edges were irregularly curled and deformed, and its surface was covered with large and small mold spots - just like an ordinary yellow paper that had been exposed to wind and sun for many years.

The cat shadow leaped up and disappeared into Feng Xiuhu's shadow.

Eclipse's voice rang out in his mind: "Hurry up—don't forget to take the talisman with you."

Feng Xiuhu took action immediately. He bent down and picked up the shadow fragment on the ground. The moment his fingertips touched it, the shadow fragment merged directly into the shadow.

Then he stepped into the room and came to the table.

Feng Xiuhu first carefully put the talisman into his pocket, but after trying several times he realized - where did he get the pocket now?

Feng Xiuhu thought about it and simply picked up the copper bell again, folded the talisman into several layers, and wrapped the bell tongue with the paper to prevent it from making any sound.

Finally, he looked at the "Wind Blade and Rain Sword Talisman" on the far right, and after thinking for a moment, he decided not to cause any trouble.

Once the work is done, withdraw.

It was a bit troublesome coming in because I didn't know where Yu Linling was, but it was much easier to get out.

Feng Xiuhu went around the outside of the house, his shadow climbed up the wall of the backyard, and he went straight over the wall and came to the outside of the temple.

Be careful along the way.

Feng Xiuhu had no way of predicting when the temple would discover that it had been robbed, so he didn't dare to delay at all. After leaving the temple, he flew straight towards the ferry.

When they finally reached Fish Market Street, Eclipse reminded him, "There's no time."

"What do you mean you don't have time?"

Feng Xiuhu didn't react for a moment, and fell out from the shadow of the bushes the next second.

An overwhelming feeling of fatigue swept over Feng Xiuhu, who almost fainted.

Eclipse shouted, "Don't sleep!"

Snapped!
Feng Xiuhu slapped himself and came to his senses a little.

He shook his head and climbed up by supporting himself on the ground: "What happened to me?"

Eclipse replied, "Your mana is depleted, and your spirit needs rest."

Feng Xiuhu patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I thought it was hypoglycemia."

Eclipse was silent for a few seconds: "...What does hypoglycemia mean?"

Feng Xiuhu said as he walked, "It means I forgot to eat - eh? I seem to have really not had dinner." Shi stopped talking.

Feng Xiuhu walked to the ferry terminal where he came from, checked, and after confirming that the copper bell was safely in his pocket, he picked up the leather bag on the ground and dived into the water.

Swimming to the Broken Wave Bridge, Feng Xiuhu found the spot according to his memory and dived down, crawled through the fence gate, felt the rope to cross the waterway, and returned to the Dicheng mudflats.

It was the same journey, but Feng Xiuhu didn't feel tired at all when he came. However, the return trip almost cost him his life.

Lying on the mudflat, Feng Xiuhu gasped for breath, ignoring the mud that stained his body.

He was almost exhausted.

This huge feeling of exhaustion was not physical, but mental. He didn't dare close his eyes for fear that he would fall asleep in the next second.

I felt in my pocket and the copper bell was still there.

Feng Xiuhu gritted his teeth and forced himself to get up again.

His calves were stuck deep in the mud, but he struggled to pull them out and stepped forward.

But his spirit seemed to have reached its limit. Feng Xiuhu's legs softened and he fell face down into the mud again.

"I should have asked Miao Gensheng to stay behind to provide support."

Feng Xiuhu cursed inwardly.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a strange voice sounded in front of him.

“…Want to eat?”

Feng Xiuhu shuddered and raised his head suddenly.

Looking closely, he saw a bloody piece of meat in front of him. Under the mud behind the meat, an eyeball almost as big as a child's fist was staring at him.

It turns out that when people are greatly frightened, they will unleash unprecedented potential.

"Fuck you—!"

Feng Xiuhu almost jumped up from the ground.

He pointed ahead and shouted, "Come out!"

The sea breeze blew away his shouts, and there was no sound under the quiet night sky.

An unknown amount of time had passed, and when Feng Xiuhu was almost thinking that he was hallucinating because he was too tired, the voice spoke again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm..."

He seemed aggrieved.

Feng Xiuhu habitually reached for his lower back, but found that he had left all his magic tools at home in advance because he was going into the water.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Feng Xiuhu saw the mud in front of him begin to surge, as if something was about to emerge from underneath.

At the same time, the voice said, "I'm coming out right now, please don't be afraid... Actually, I'm the one who should be afraid."

The mud gradually bulged, and as the "thing" under the mud crawled out, Feng Xiuhu's pupils dilated.

He couldn't help muttering to himself, "What a big...rat."

In his mind, Eclipse cried out, "Original God—how is this possible?!"

A huge rat crawled out from under the mud.

With gray-black hair and round eyes, it looked no different from an ordinary mouse, but when it stood in front of Feng Xiuhu in a sitting position, it was actually almost as tall as Shunzi.

Noticing the big rat's attire, Feng Xiuhu's mouth gradually opened wide.

The big rat carefully patted off the remaining mud on his fur, then straightened the bow tie around his neck, and finally took off the top hat on his head, pressed the hat to his chest, and bowed slightly to Feng Xiuhu.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Monitor."

Feng Xiuhu's brain froze a little: "Uh..."

"Have I fallen asleep yet?"

He began to talk to himself: "Big Bug, get up and catch mice."
