1346 Come Uninvited 4 (1/2)

But when the Hell Rodent ran out, it did not leave immediately but stood at a spot it thought itself to be safe. It had stopped itself suddenly and its rounded body stood up as it stared at Jun Wu Xie with its black beady eyes where no one know what thoughts were going through its mind.

Just as Drunk Lotus was about to move to chase it away, the Hell Rodent suddenly lifted its tiny front paws and fiddled around with its mouth before its bulging cheeks.

A tiny little orb was suddenly spat out from inside its mouth and it held it in its tiny paws before putting it down upon the ground. It then glanced once more at Jun Wu Xie before it turned itself around and scampered off without another moment's hesitation, its tiny body quickly disappearing under the dim firelight.

”What was that for?” Drunk Lotus was a little stunned by the little creature's actions.

Poppy then lifted his chin slightly and looked at Drunk Lotus to say: ”Don't you even know the meaning of repaying a debt of gratitude?”

Upon saying that, Poppy walked forward to pick up the orb that was coated with the Hell Rodent's drool and brought it to come before Jun Wu Xie.

The orb was about the size of a quail egg, snowy white throughout, its physical material looking to be jade. Upon the surface of the orb, were magnificent carvings, looking like a snake was coiled completely around the orb. The snake's head carved in the middle portion was clear and distinct and in the place where the snake's eyes were, there were two spots of green.

Jun Wu Xie stared at the carving of the snake upon that orb and somehow felt that the appearance of the snake looked highly familiar.

Besides the colour of the eyes, it looked highly similar to the Ink Snakes that Jun Wu Yao usually used.

But for the fact that one was white and the other was black.

”Such a thing was hidden in the Hell Rodent's mouth? Why did I notice it earlier?” Drunk Lotus asked, feeling rather surprised. The orb was not really that big but to a palm sized rodent, it would be rather hefty. If the Hell Rodent had hidden it inside his mouth, when he held the Hell Rodent earlier, he would surely have noticed it.
