Amidst their laughter, Leaf understood everything.
The black-haired rat was not dead at all. He was only severely injured and extremely weak.
If he tried to snatch the mandrake fruit openly, he would definitely not be able to snatch even half of it. Sooner or later, he would starve to death.
Therefore, he could only pretend to be dead to deceive a new fool like himself!
There had to be new fools who would think that he was dead and infected with the plague.
If these new fools were lucky enough to snatch the mandrake fruit but were unable to protect themselves, they would definitely flee to the corner where the black-haired rat was and try to use the plague to stop the other red-eyed rat people from coveting it.
However, these fools did not know that the black-haired rat was not in a safe zone.
They were in a fatal trap!
