Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 360

The leaves continued to tighten inward, as if trying to crush the two of them to death.

However, within a second, one of the leaves loosened its grip and released Qu Xiaobei.

Qu Xiaobei immediately let out a yelp and fell to the ground.

Nie Yizhou wasn’t so lucky.

The leaves continued to tighten around him.

Muffled curses from Nie Yizhou could be heard from within the leafy confines.

Seeing this, the others rushed forward to help.

But the remaining leaves surged toward them, blocking their path.

The group unleashed their full power, shattering the obstructing leaves.

“What the hell is this thing? It’s stinging me all over!”

Nie Yizhou’s voice rang out from behind them.

He rubbed his body, muttering incessantly.

In the heat of the moment, he had forgotten to teleport.

By the time he realized it, he felt suffocated and tightly constricted.

Tiny thorns had pierced through his clothes and into his flesh.

Fortunately, his clothes were thick, or else he would have been turned into a pincushion.

In that brief moment, Lu Chen uprooted a green plant that had been embedded in the snow.

Instantly, the once-threatening leaves withered and shrank, retracting toward the main root.

“This plant looks like a fern, but I never expected it to become so terrifying after mutating,” Mu Yang remarked with a furrowed brow.

At that moment, Little Flower hopped out.

It swallowed the mutated fern in one gulp.

After finishing its meal, it bounced around contentedly, seemingly very pleased.

“Kid, your pet flower eats mutated plants too?” Nie Yizhou asked in surprise.

Yun Xiaoxiao patted Little Flower and proudly replied, “Yes, isn’t it amazing?”

“Heh, amazing indeed. I’m impressed,” Nie Yizhou said with a chuckle.

After this little incident, the group continued forward.

Soon, they arrived at a valley.

However, the stream in the valley was completely frozen over.

Steep cliffs rose on either side, with snow-covered trees slanting precariously from the rock faces, creating a unique landscape.

“Look over there!”

Suddenly, Nie Yizhou pointed toward a massive rock to the side, his face filled with astonishment.

The others followed his gaze.

There, a green mantis was locked in battle with a black spider.

The mantis had a sleek body, with forelimbs resembling two large blades, complete with a row of sharp serrations. The tips of its “blades” even had suction cups for climbing.

Despite facing a spider larger than itself, the mantis showed no signs of retreat. Instead, it displayed remarkable aggression.

It climbed to the top of the massive rock and then lunged at the spider, which was attempting to climb up.

The two “blades” clamped onto the spider’s head, slashing fiercely.

The spider wasn’t defenseless either, fighting back desperately to break free.

Just as it seemed about to escape, the mantis seized the opportunity, leaping onto the spider’s back and pinning it down in an even more aggressive stance.

In the end, despite being smaller in size, the mantis managed to kill the larger spider.

Witnessing this, the group couldn’t help but be impressed.

This mantis had formidable combat skills.

Mu Yang, in particular, seemed intrigued.

“This mantis looks pretty impressive,” he said.

“Yeah, it really does,” Yun Xiaoxiao agreed.

Sometimes, these smaller mutated insects could rival larger mutated creatures.

After all, each had its own strengths.

For example, an elephant could be killed in an instant by a swarm of venomous ants.

So, it was unwise to make sweeping judgments.

Her little pet was a perfect example.

Though it started out small, it had grown into something truly fearsome.

“Mu Yang, if you like it, go ahead and claim it,” Yun Xiaoxiao encouraged.

She wasn’t sure what mantises liked to eat, but she guessed it was similar to her pet—probably meat.

So, she generously offered some meat as bait.

Mu Yang took the meat and approached the mantis.

Nie Yizhou covered his mouth and snickered, “I feel like Brother Yang is about to lure it like a kidnapper.”

The others raised their eyebrows.

Though crudely put, it did seem somewhat accurate.

They stood there, watching intently.

Somehow, after about fifteen minutes, Mu Yang returned with a smile on his face.

The once-ferocious mantis now rested obediently on the back of his hand.

“Wow, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍you actually succeeded in... persuading it!”

Nie Yizhou was amazed and reached out to touch it.

But as soon as his hand got close, the mantis raised its “blades” menacingly, causing Nie Yizhou to quickly pull his hand back.

Afterward, the group continued their search for suitable mutated plants and animals.

But as night fell, they hadn’t found anything else worthy of their attention.

They only encountered a few weaklings, which they dealt with casually.

With darkness setting in, they decided not to venture further.

They were confident but not reckless.

They knew when to push forward and when to hold back.

So, they found a nearby cave to rest for the night.

Nie Yizhou poked Yun Xiaoxiao’s shoulder. “Kid, what are we eating tonight?”

Seeing his expression, Yun Xiaoxiao knew he was craving something.

“Alright, what do you want to eat?”

“We haven’t had hotpot in a while. How about...”

Yun Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, and under Nie Yizhou’s expectant gaze, she finally nodded.

“Fine, hotpot it is. But I’ll only provide the ingredients. I’m not cooking.”

Hotpot required too much preparation, and it was a hassle.

“No problem, that’s what our chef Xiao Feng is for!”

Nie Yizhou grinned and patted Xiao Feng’s shoulder.

Xiao Feng rolled his eyes. “If you want to eat, do it yourself. Don’t think you can slack off.”

“But I don’t know how. Can I at least help?”

“That’s more like it.”

And so, the two of them got to work.

Qu Xiaobei approached Yun Xiaoxiao and whispered, pointing at Ling Jing in the distance, “Xiaoxiao, why is that brother eating raw meat?”

Yun Xiaoxiao glanced over. Ling Jing was elegantly holding a fork, spearing a piece of bloody beef and placing it in his mouth. He even wiped his lips with a white napkin.

The shabby cave suddenly felt like a high-end French restaurant.

Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched.

He really was extra. Eating beef with such flair.

“Don’t mind him. He just has a taste for it. But it’s a secret, so don’t tell anyone, okay?” Yun Xiaoxiao winked.

“Don’t worry, I won’t say a word!”

Qu Xiaobei patted her chest in assurance.

Then, she sat by the fire and placed the urn behind her on the ground.

She took out an incense stick, lit it with the fire, and bowed three times toward the urn.

“Dad, it’s time to eat.”

After paying her respects, she stuck the incense into the ground in front of the urn.
