Chapter 1: The Embarrassing Crossing

  Late autumn.

  The rugged small road leading to the mountain waist mining area at the southern foot of Yuelianshan.

  Two slender and delicate girls with baskets slung over their arms walked down the mountain.

  "I heard that Lin Xiaofeng was bitten by a mouse in the mine yesterday!" said the girl with tawny skin on the left, speaking in a mysterious and hushed tone.

  The girl on the right, with a ponytail, said in a disdainful tone: "This poor little guy, his parents died early, and he could only inherit his father's old business from a young age, working as a miner in the mine, not even having the chance to participate in the annual beast blood sacrifice. How did he get bitten by a rat too? It's just too unlucky!"

  The chestnut-skinned girl playfully stuck out her small tongue and said, "Hehe, what's even more unlucky is that it wasn't just an ordinary mouse, but a golden mouse beast!"

  "Ah! Monster?" The ponytailed girl's eyes suddenly showed a hint of fear.

  The chestnut-skinned girl giggled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a first-class young pangolin, there were many people at the time, they all had iron hoes and scared it away!"

  Upon hearing this, the ponytailed girl patted her newly developed chest and let out a sigh, "How's that poor guy doing?"

  "It seems like nothing's wrong, but I heard he got bitten there!" The chestnut-skinned girl blinked her eyes slyly.

  "Where?"

  "Hmph, it's right there on the man!"

  The ponytailed girl suddenly understood and her pretty face turned red as she covered her small mouth, "Ah, then he will..."

  "Shh, he's over there. I heard that after being bitten yesterday, he became completely out of it. Let's hurry up and be careful not to get caught by him..."

  "Hehe, you naughty girl..."

  Two lively girls giggled and chattered as they hurried down the rugged mountain path, leaving behind a string of silvery laughter.

  Not far from the rugged mountain road, on a hillside, a slender boy was listlessly reclining in a withered grass thicket, his eyes gazing aimlessly at the sky, with a blade of wild grass held between his lips.

  Listening to that clear and crisp laughter, a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on the young man's lips.

  "Damn it, I just went out to buy some snacks, came home to enjoy the pleasure of eating snacks and watching movies, but you let me play through time?"

  This young man's soul doesn't belong in this world. He comes from Earth, usually loves to watch online shows and anime, is a standard introverted otaku.

  It was a rainy day when I went out to buy snacks, but ended up being hit by a sedan that ran the red light. When I came to, I found myself as the master of this body.

  Yesterday, a strange beast suddenly rushed out of the rock crevice in the mine and collided with the golden mouse beast. It seemed to have been frightened and rushed towards the boy's crotch.

  The Crash Gold Beast often sneaks into the grain at night to eat, its head is particularly hard, and it will often crash into walls, tools, etc. making a metallic crisp sound, which is why it has such a strange name. The Crash Gold Beast makes people change color because it is a kind of monster.

  Monsters are a general term for beasts with various special abilities, evolved from ordinary beasts. Most monsters are ferocious and brutal, harming humans, and are the enemies of humanity!

  Someone once came out at night to catch and kill the groundhog, as a result, the groundhog was shocked and angry, broke through the wall and escaped, which can be seen from the horror of this groundhog.

  At that time, the young man was frightened and fainted, and then he was replaced by Lin Xiaofeng from Earth.

  The golden mole was actually very agile and only pretended to bite before escaping through the miner's crotch.

  Lin Xiaofeng's body was not seriously injured, but he was frightened and stunned in public, and because of the sudden resurrection, his whole person was confused and became a laughing stock for the people in the entire mining area after dinner, spreading throughout the town of Dongxing within a day.

  "Alright, since I've been transported to this world, I'll take a look and see what's so special about it!"

  Lin Xiao Feng was thinking gloomily in his heart, and with a forceful spit, he got rid of the dry grass in his mouth. He picked up the rusty iron pickaxe, lifted his spirits and headed towards the mining area on the mountain waist.

  After walking for a while, suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the grass by the side of the path. Lin Xiaofeng was startled and quickly looked up to see what it was.

  "Crash into a golden mouse beast?"

  When he saw that small golden shadow flash through the grass and rush towards the mountain slope, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

  The monster is notorious in this world and poses a fatal threat to human survival!

  If I can capture or kill the Golden Mouse Beast, it will make everyone in town look at me with new eyes and maybe change my current embarrassing situation!

  This thought flashed through Lin Xiaofeng's mind, he took a deep breath, gripped the iron hoe tightly in his hand, and quickly followed the Golden Mouse Beast with stealthy steps.

  After several years of mining and training, Lin Xiaofeng's weak body had also undergone a huge change. His physique and physical strength had improved significantly, his muscles were beginning to take shape, and following the Golden Mouse Beast was relatively easy for him now.

  After walking for more than half a mile on the rugged mountain road, I saw that golden mouse beast drilling into an abandoned mine.

  Ten years ago, a collapse occurred in this mine, killing more than a dozen miners. Due to the severity of the collapse, the Lietou family chose to abandon the mine.

  Lin Xiaofeng used a pickaxe to clear away the weeds in the cave and carefully walked into this dimly lit mine.

  After walking for a while in the dimly lit mine, Lin Xiaofeng found a 50 cm wide crack on the edge of the rock wall, and heard a rustling sound coming from inside. He immediately stopped in his tracks and listened intently.

  "Ding ding~"

  A faint and intermittent crashing sound, crisp and light.

  Lin Xiaofeng nodded secretly, this was a sound unique to the Golden Mouse Beast.

  Along this rather wide fissure deep into the mountain belly over one hundred meters.

  Lin Xiaofeng soon discovered that in a nearby gap, a silver light suddenly appeared.

  How strange!

  Is it some special ore? Or phosphorus fire?

  Lin Xiao Feng swallowed his saliva, plucked up the courage to slowly walk closer, and what made him astonished was that the silver bright light turned out to be a silver glowing metal mask inlaid into the stone wall.

  "Squeak"

  At this time, the little golden mouse beast suddenly emitted a strange cry, and its small body jumped up sharply towards the silver mask.

  Just like a small stone thrown into the calm water, the silver mask actually rippled with circles of ripples, and the little golden mouse beast disappeared in the silver mask.

  "Dong dong~"

  Lin Xiaofeng involuntarily took two steps back.

  Lin Xiaofeng stared blankly for a moment before sizing up the strange silver mask in front of him with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

  This silver mask-like face is indeed angular, with a sharp jawline and piercing eyes, absolutely an extraordinary man's face!

  But surprisingly, the golden mouse beast actually drilled in, which is simply unimaginable!

  Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then plucked up his courage and tapped the silver mask with an iron hoe.

  A strange scene unfolded before his eyes again, the iron rake seemed to have entered the water surface, and the silver mask rippled with circles of ripples.

  Just as Lin Xiaofeng was greatly surprised, suddenly, a huge suction force emerged from the silver mask!

  Before he could even cry out in surprise, Lin Xiaofeng's body was involuntarily pulled into the silver mask by this enormous suction force...
