Synopsis: [Main text completed, extras updated irregularly ovo]
Gu Qi traveled back to the apocalypse, back to the time when she was abandoned to be fed to zombies.
In front of her was ...
Chapter 19
It turns out that the mutant raspberries are not stupid after all.
As the sun was setting, it returned with its spoils.
[Help! Help! Help!]
From a distance, Gu Qi's mental power captured the cry for help from the mutant raspberry.
In addition, she also heard the slightly noisy chirping of birds.
[Woo woo woo! Stop pecking! If you keep pecking, I'll go bald!]
The wailing sounds of the mutant raspberries captured by his mental power were getting closer and closer. Gu Qi put away the black communication card in his hand and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
[Let me in! Ahhhh! Stinky Rose, get out of my way, wahhhhh!]
Gu Qi: “…”
Soon she arrived at the foot of the mountain, and saw at a glance the mutant raspberries blocked outside the cave by the mutant roses, as well as dozens of mutant sparrows following the tops of the mutant raspberries.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the mutant peach tree that is dragged by the mutant raspberry with several branches.
The mutant peach tree is dozens of times larger than the mutant raspberry, with thick branches, but many branches have been broken by being dragged, and there are only a few leaves left.
The level is not low, it is a third-level mutant plant, but it was wrapped by the mutant raspberry with several thin branches and dared not move or resist.
Gu Qi's gaze swept across the branches of the mutant raspberry, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The branches of the mutant raspberry not only wrapped around the mutant peach tree, but also penetrated into its trunk. One of the branches was wrapped around its crystal core, and the ends of the other branches were like needles, pressing against the crystal core.
In other words, as long as the mutant peach tree makes any movement, the mutant raspberry can break its crystal core at any time.
That’s not all.
The branches of the mutant raspberry wrapped around its crystal core are still slowly absorbing the energy in its crystal core, replenishing the superpowers it consumes when dealing with the mutant sparrows that are constantly attacking.
The mutant peach tree is really pitiful.
Gu Qi also noticed some traces left between the branches of the mutant peach tree, and it was not difficult to see that it was originally a sparrow's nest.
No wonder these sparrows look like they won’t be satisfied until they kill the mutant raspberry. It’s very likely that when they came back from going out, not only were their homes demolished, but even their “homesteads” were dug up.
One word to describe it: miserable!
Despite the tragedy, the mutant raspberries can still be saved.
Most of those mutant sparrows were at level two, with two of the larger ones at level three, and judging by their aura, one was on the verge of breaking through to level four.
The most important thing is that they are all thunder-type.
This is also why they were not electrocuted into roasted sparrows by the fourth-level thunder-type mutant raspberry. Instead, they chased the mutant raspberry all the way and pecked off many of its fruits.
Gu Qi said to the mutant rose, "Let it in."
Upon hearing this, the mutant rose reluctantly moved its vines, making a way into the cave.
The mutant raspberry, which was about to go somewhere else, hurriedly dragged the mutant peach tree into the cave. After this, several branches of the mutant peach tree were broken, and the few remaining leaves fell off completely.
Not only the mutant peach tree, but also several vines of the mutant rose that made way for it were broken.
The mutant rose plucked at its broken branches distressedly, [Bad! Bad bastard! Woo woo woo…]
Upon hearing this, the mutant raspberry stopped dead in its tracks and swung its branches at the mutant rose, "You're the weed! Your whole family is weed!"
“Whoosh!”
A cold light flashed, and all the branches swung by the mutant raspberry were cut off.
Gu Qi raised his hand to catch the dagger that flew back, looked at the mutant raspberry coldly, and said in a cold voice: "How about fighting with me again?"
It's okay for the mutant plants in the cave to fight and compete with each other, but the behavior of the mutant raspberry just now is definitely not allowed.
The mutant raspberry froze at the sound, and the branches that were wrapped around the mutant peach tree loosened, allowing it to fall to the ground with a dull "bang".
A powerful aura enveloped it, and the mutant raspberry did not dare to move at all. At this moment, it truly felt that its life was threatened, as if it would fall into hell in a moment.
It was clearly summer and the sun had not yet set. The soil it had just run through was hot, but at this moment it felt as if it was in deep winter. Its branches and roots were frozen, and its crystal core was shaking constantly.
"Do you want to fight?" Gu Qi spoke again, his eyes were cold as if he was looking at a dead object.
At this moment, Gu Qi showed some of the edge of a powerful person who had overcome the tribulation.
Not only did the mutant raspberry she was watching dare not move, but the mutant rose and mutant peach tree next to it also froze in place. The mutant sparrows outside the cave also felt extreme danger, forgot to flap their wings, and fell to the ground one by one.
The mutant raspberry struggled to speak, [No, I won't fight.]
The arrogance disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of the majesty that had just been seen when he was waving the branches to whip the mutant rose.
Gu Qi then put away the dagger and her demeanor returned to its usual calmness. She looked like an ordinary girl, without any threat at all.
The mutant raspberry then felt the chill surrounding it slowly fade away, its branches slowly "thawed", and it drooped limply to the ground, looking like it had survived a disaster.
So scary!
The mutant raspberry thought in fear: This is a hundred times more terrifying than the earthquake and black rain at the end of the world!
It thought it still had a chance of surviving the earthquake and black rain, but just now it felt like it had fallen into endless darkness. It could only feel endless despair. If it was not careful, it would be broken into pieces as humans said.
Gu Qi didn't look at it again, turned around and walked towards the group of sparrows that fell to the ground outside the cave.
"twitter……"
The sparrows huddled together, chirping softly.
Seeing Gu Qi getting closer, the two slightly larger sparrows moved to the front with difficulty and spread their wings to block the shivering little guys.
“Chirp…”
Don’t, don’t come over here, I’m not afraid, I’m afraid of you!
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled gently and asked in a gentle tone, "I see that you have lost your home. If you are homeless, would you like to stay at my house? I can build you a home and ensure that you never have to worry about your home being taken away from you again."
The sparrows trembled even more violently.
“Chirp…”
It's so scary. It feels like humans are trying to trick them into the pot. After they are eaten, they won't have to worry about their homes being robbed.
Gu Qi: “…”
"I have no interest in eating mutant animals with who knows how many parasites they have."
Gu Qi's smile faded, and he decided to skip the initial ceremony and proceed directly to the next step.
She raised her hand slightly, and the scattered branches on the ground flew over, and kept wrapping around her as they flew, and finally turned into a birdcage and fell into her hand.
After thinking for a moment, she asked politely, "Do you want to come in by yourselves, or should I..." force you to come in?
Before Gu Qi could finish his words, the sparrows, sensing danger, flew into the birdcage and huddled together.
Their intuition tells them that being proactive is definitely better than being passive.
The sparrows did think about escaping, but as soon as the thought arose, they felt extremely dangerous and felt that if they really did so, they would most likely not see the sun tomorrow.
Seeing how well-behaved they were, Gu Qi felt a little better. He grabbed a handful of spiritual wheat from the storage space and sprinkled it into the cage.
“Chirp chirp…”
It smells so good! It looks so delicious!
A little sparrow couldn't help but lower its head to peck at a piece of spiritual wheat, but just as it lowered its head, it was swatted away by the big sparrow's wings.
The big sparrow scolded the little sparrow in a soft but fierce voice, "What are you eating? Have you forgotten your sisters who were poisoned to death?"
[But it smells so good! It smells better than anything I’ve ever eaten!]
[Yes, yes! It smells so good, I really want to eat it qaq]
[Mom, eat, eat!]
The little sparrows chirped and stretched their necks to try to take a bite of the spiritual wheat.
[Don't worry, let me try and see if there is any problem!]
The two slightly larger sparrows quickly raised their wings to hold them down, while the largest one lowered its head and pecked at a grain of spiritual wheat.
The sparrow thought it was impossible not to eat it, it was so delicious that he would want to eat it even if it was poisonous!
After eating a grain of spiritual wheat, the sparrow's eyes revealed a human-like look of surprise.
Not poisonous!
Super delicious!
The little sparrows looked at their mother expectantly and chirped non-stop.
[Is it delicious? Is it delicious?]
[qaq I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat! ]
[Eat, eat, eat…]
[Mom, I’m hungry…]
The mother sparrow flapped her wings and released her children, "Eat them! They're delicious! Come on, eat them!"
A group of sparrows buried their heads in eating seriously, without any trace of the fear they had just trembled in.
In a short while, the spiritual wheat was eaten up by them, and even the branches that were stained with the scent of spiritual wheat were pecked off and eaten by them.
There were several small holes pecked in the birdcage, but the sparrows ignored them all. One little sparrow even squatted directly at the hole entrance.
As long as you block it fast enough, there will be no exit.
It’s so nice here, they love it!
The mother sparrow boldly asked Gu Qi, "If we stay here, can we eat this delicious wheat every day?"
Fearing that Gu Qi wouldn't agree, it quickly added, "Don't underestimate our small size; we're actually quite formidable. If we hadn't gone out to forage, we wouldn't have been robbed by that bastard!"
[Yeah, yeah, yeah! We’re awesome!]
[Knock on ovo]
[Ahhhh, that's awesome...]
The little sparrows chirped and puffed out their chests, and some even started to spit thunder balls with the sound of "puff puff puff".
“Bang!”
The mother sparrow raised her wings and slapped the little sparrow that had spewed the thunderball. "You're going to burn down your nest! Stupid Little Sixteen!"
[As long as you give us delicious wheat every day, I can tell you where a treasure is hidden!]
As soon as the mother sparrow with a tuft of blue feathers on her head finished speaking, the father sparrow with a blue feather on its tail raised its head in surprise and said, "How could you even mention this!"
[Don’t you want to eat delicious Lingmai?]
[think! ]
[Which is better, baby or Lingmai?]
[Lingmai!]
[That's it, it's all settled. Just follow my lead.]
After resolving the internal issues, the blue-feathered bird looked at Gu Qi and said, "Human, what do you think? I'm telling you, that treasure is incredible, and it's hidden so well that only we know about it!"
Under the expectant gazes of the sparrows, Gu Qi nodded slightly and said, "Of course."
Recalling something, Gu Qi asked again: "Is the treasure you are talking about a blue-purple stone hidden in the stone wall of a cave?"
The sparrows froze when they heard this, and Hei Dou's eyes were full of surprise.
[How do you know!]
Gu Qi smiled but said nothing.
