Xiao Jin struggled for over a decade in the apocalypse before perishing with the Zombie King. To her surprise, she woke up, reborn into a world without zombies.
Before she could even bother w...
Lu Jing, Wang Zixuan, and Cen Nian followed closely behind, and the four of them rushed to the coconut tree with all their might.
The mutated creatures behind them were already engaged in a frenzied struggle, and the three of them used all their methods to buy Xiao Jin enough time.
With her ice-blue wings fluttering gently, Xiao Jin's figure was light and agile.
Her eyes were sharp, and the long knife in her hand reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight. With a single, precise swing, she sliced away a mutated snake that was coiled around a black coconut tree.
The snake's body twisted and writhed in the air, emitting a chilling hissing sound.
Without stopping, Xiao Jin seized the brief moment and quickly reached out a slender yet strong hand to firmly grasp the cluster of strange fruits hanging from the treetops, emitting a faint glow.
With a strong tug, Xiao Jin pulled the entire bunch of fruit down like a beaded curtain billowing in the wind. She held it heavily in her hand, its fruit gleaming with an alluring luster.
However, the moment the fruit was in hand, the mutated animals on the entire island, after a brief silence, all descended into chaos.
The mutated bear slammed its large, fan-like paws heavily on the ground, its eyes burning with wild fury.
Not far away, blue arcs of electricity crackled and flickered around the mutated electric eel. Mutated birds circled low in the sky, their sharp cries piercing the air.
All the mutated animals began to frantically attack Xiao Jin.
Reason had vanished from their eyes; all they had was the desire for that strange fruit.
Good heavens, after waiting for so long, all the fruit that was about to be in my mouth was snatched away by Xiao Jin. It's already a favor that I didn't explode on the spot.
Faced with this sudden attack, Xiao Jin showed no sign of panic.
She certainly wasn't going to be taken advantage of.
With the idea of sharing both joy and sorrow, Xiao Jin waved her hand, and three fruits streaked across the sky like shooting stars, accurately tossing them into the arms of Lu Jing and the other two not far away.
It was then caught firmly.
Wang Zixuan, who hadn't paid attention to the coconut tree, looked down at the fruit in her hand and couldn't help but think to herself: It really is a good thing.
As soon as they got their hands on the fruit, they saw the skill descriptions on it.
[Item name: Ningyu Fruit
Grade: Orange
Effect: After consumption, the player's body will immediately return to its peak condition, and the cooldown time of all items will be reset.
Furthermore, for the next 5 minutes, players will gain a 50% increase in attack power, a 50% increase in reflex speed, and a 200% increase in physical recovery ability.
If the user is a psionicist, they will be continuously provided with 1 point of psionic energy per second.
Note: The item's effect will end in five minutes, leaving the user in a weakened state and inflicting a random debuff that lasts for 12 hours.
After reading it, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
Xiao Jin nodded, relieved that all the effort hadn't been in vain.
This 'Jade Condensation Fruit' can be considered a trump card. Consuming it not only restores you to your peak condition but also provides an attack boost.
Needless to say, the continuous supply of spiritual energy is 1 point per second, so that's 300 points in five minutes.
Goodness, Xiao Jin's current maximum spiritual power is only 300 points, which is enough, more than enough.
What made Xiao Jin happiest was the option to 'reset the cooldown time of all items'—it was truly crucial.
Powerful items often have long cooldown periods, but they can be used again after consuming the 'Jade Condensation Fruit'. Not only Xiao Jin, but also Lu Jing and the other two were very tempted.
Lu Jing grinned: "Looks like I'm pretty lucky."
………………
The moment Xiao Jin obtained the Jade Fruit, he didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly put it into his spatial storage. The others did the same, putting their items into their backpacks.
The fruit's exotic fragrance was instantly blocked, and the mutated creatures surging around them paused for a moment.
"Scatter!" Xiao Jin shouted in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
Lu Jing winked at Xiao Jin, said nothing more, and turned to speed off towards the other side of the island.
His bone whip drew an arc in the air, lashing away several mutated birds that tried to approach.
Wang Zixuan glanced at Xiao Jin, seemingly wanting to say something, but due to the lack of opportunity, she could only summon her staff, mount it, and fly away from the island.
No rush, we'll meet again!
Soon, the two figures disappeared one after the other.
"Brother Xiao Jin, shall we go too?" Cen Nian gripped the black staff in her hand and looked up at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin nodded: "We've got the stuff, so we won't linger." Another point is that, with the disappearance of the Jade Condensation Fruit, these mutated animals seem to be showing signs of going berserk.
Moreover, the time to leave is fast approaching!
Immediately, Xiao Jin unfurled the blue ice crystal wings on her back. The wings shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight and exuded a chilling aura.
Having been tempered by real combat, Xiao Jin has undoubtedly become more adept at using 'Gift of Ice and Snow'.
"Hold on tight," Xiao Jin whispered, reaching out to grab Cen Nian's shoulder.
Cen Nian nodded, then hugged Xiao Jin tightly around the waist.
Xiao Jin shuddered involuntarily, but when she thought that Cen Nian below was still a child, her body gradually relaxed.
The next second, Xiao Jin's wings suddenly flapped, and the two of them instantly took to the air and flew towards the edge of the island.
Cen Nian was not unaware of Xiao Jin's resistance just now.
He didn't think about anything else, only that Xiao Jin wasn't used to it. As he hugged him, Cen Nian's thoughts started to wander.
She's so thin...
However, just as they were about to leave the island, a deafening roar came from below.
Xiao Jin looked down and saw that the huge mutated bear was chasing them frantically. Its eyes were flashing with a scarlet light and it was breathing out a foul stench.
"It still hasn't given up!" Cen Nian was very surprised.
Xiao Jin glanced at it indifferently, then suddenly accelerated its wings, trying to shake off the mutated bear.
However, the mutated bear seemed to possess human-like intelligence and was extremely cunning.
Seeing that they could not catch Xiao Jin and his companion who were nimbly dodging, they suddenly changed their target and focused their attention on the mutated animals on the ground.
Its massive body suddenly lunged forward, like a moving mountain, easily scooping up a mutated crab the size of a football.
This mutated crab has a bluish-green sheen and is exceptionally hard, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to penetrate.
The mutated bear roared, its muscles bulging, and then gathered all its strength, hurling the mutated crab at Xiao Jin in mid-air like a boulder.
The air seemed to be torn apart at that moment, with a sharp whistling sound, and the mutated crab turned into a death trajectory, its speed almost as fast as a cannonball.
Cen Nian's heart tightened suddenly, and he almost instinctively shouted, "Be careful!" His voice was filled with undisguised anxiety and worry.
Xiao Jin was in the air, his wings flapping rapidly.
However, the mutated bear's attacks were like a storm. If one attack missed, it would immediately launch several more swift throws, each one narrowly missing Xiao Jin's body.
You can dodge this time, but you can't dodge the next.
