The sage was determined to die.

Just as his mind was about to go numb, Ji Bai realized the true purpose of this thing—as a bomb.

Ji Bai guessed that this thing might use a sound wave of a different frequency to attack, which, although invisible to the naked eye, directly attacks the brain.

In some ways, this thing could even be considered a biological weapon...

Ji Bai observed his work from a distance, watching the evil turtle that had been frantically chasing him and seemed to want to eat him wriggle around like a fat seaweed, before calming down after a while.

Seeing that there was still no movement, Ji Bai finally swam over. He first poked the turtle through his sleeve, and when it didn't move, he reached out and a pale yellow crystal floated from the turtle's body into his hand.

The moment it floated into Ji Bai's hand, a tremendous pain shot from his fingertips all the way to his brain.

"This thing..." Ji Bai gritted his teeth and said, "It looks just like a leech."

After saying that, Ji Bai clearly felt the stinging sensation in his brain become even stronger.

However, as the pain continued, the stinging sensation gradually subsided.

"Huh." Ji Bai glanced at the old tortoise and murmured, "The stinging sensation has actually lessened."

Before long, many plans came to mind.

Ji Bai did not continue digging up the body. He swam ashore with the crystal. After being electrocuted for so long, his body developed a resistance to electricity. Even though his brain was constantly shaking from the electric shocks, his appearance showed no abnormalities.

Ji Bai sneakily climbed ashore, and as he expected, none of the NPCs had left.

The village chief, his face bruised and swollen from the beating, gave a strange look. He had been staring intently at the water, but his nose, like that of a hunting dog, caught a familiar scent and reached out towards Ji Bai the moment he came ashore.

Ji Bai wanted to greet him with a smile, but when he thought about his public image, he hurriedly covered the thing in his arms, as if afraid that others would not know what treasure he had obtained.

It has to be said that the fact that he managed to make such a big impact on something so small is a kind of extraordinary talent.

"Why are you still alive!" The village chief was shocked. Seeing Ji Bai looking around, he tried to run away, but his hawk-like eyes were fixed on the thing in the other man's arms.

In an instant, countless eyes fell upon him. If it weren't for the fact that everyone's eyes were so small, this scene would have resembled the moment when all the owls in the dark open their eyes at once.

A uniform look of greed flashed across the mechanical faces of the crowd: "You got that thing, you got that thing..."

"What are you talking about? I can't understand a word you're saying."

Ji Bai seemed to only realize what was happening at first. He grabbed his things and tried to run away, but whether it was due to his weak physique or some other reason, he only ran a few steps before collapsing to the ground, panting heavily as if he were exhausted.

The village chief arrived at his side with lightning speed, laughing heartily: "I never expected it, I really never expected it... that thing would choose you..."

Ji Bai stared at him in horror, as if he had no idea what the thing in the other's mouth was.

He tripped and fell, and something he was carrying was inadvertently revealed. It was a yellow crystal that had been carefully wrapped. As soon as the crystal fell out, the village chief, who was envious, snatched it away.

The next second, everyone was scrambling for it.

Ji Bai gracefully stood up from the ground, muttering numbers to himself.

One, two, three...

As he finished speaking, one dried-up body after another appeared.
