Chapter 9 Superpowers: Completely different from what I imagined.
When Xinxue and her mother learned as children that humans could awaken all kinds of magical superpowers, they both fantasized about the day when they themselves would awaken their superpowers.
She remembered her mother's hopes as simple.
She wanted to have a safe space where she could raise chickens, farm, and produce resources continuously, and then live there with Xinxue forever.
At that time, Xinxue was still young, and all she wanted was fighting power. She wanted it all, whether it was gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, or fog.
If they have a certain level of combat power, they will be able to leave the villa tunnel and explore a larger world.
Later, when her mother disappeared, she became ill, and fell into a long state of hunger, Xinxue understood her mother's thoughts.
She also wanted space, space to produce and store food.
But no matter what, Xin Xue never thought that her special ability would be like this.
She took a while to get used to it, allowing the lines on Ah Shu's body to disappear and appear freely.
Then I began to test whether I could help her repair the lines.
Xinxue could vaguely feel that she could control the red and black lines on other creatures.
She asked Ah Shu to lie down, revealing the injured part of her snake belly. "Let's start with the red line. Since Xiaohong didn't succeed in making the black line disappear, I don't dare to touch it either."
Xinxue's hand hovered not far from the wound. She closed her eyes and began to imagine that she could control the red line.
The process was difficult, but fortunately, the snake girl had no resistance to her.
About half an hour later, Xinxue really felt the red line.
She felt several wounds forming on her legs and had to concentrate on imagining how the wounds would heal.
The red line is like a spider silk. As soon as it is put back on track, it will be pushed back to the wrong place by a force.
A Shu couldn't see what Xin Xue was talking about, but he could feel her emotions at the moment.
She found that healing the damaged scales seemed to take a lot of Xinxue's effort.
So he pretended nothing happened and said nonchalantly, "It's troublesome, but it doesn't hurt me much anyway... I have such a long tail... Even if this part is bald, it won't affect my appearance..."
After saying this, he wanted to pull back the snake's tail and hide the wound where the new snow couldn't see it.
Unexpectedly, Xinxue got the courage and strength from somewhere and grabbed Ashu's tail.
Seeing that she still wanted to escape, he simply straddled her and rode on her.
Her expression was stern, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't delay the treatment. The connection has been established and cannot be withdrawn. If you are in pain, I am in pain too!"
Ah Shu felt that after Xinxue awakened her special powers, her whole spirit seemed to have changed.
She is still small and cute.
But he seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant, and became particularly lively.
She couldn't tell him that the scales Xinxue sat on were special and sensitive, so she just pretended nothing happened and tried to ignore Xinxue's existence.
He closed his eyes and lay back on the grass: "Okay, okay, I won't move..."
Xinxue is a very patient person. If the red lines keep running in the wrong direction, she will patiently put them back in place.
Thanks to Xinxue's efforts, the red lines finally returned to their proper positions.
She felt the phantom pain in her leg disappear, and a smile finally broke out on her face.
"Does it still hurt?" Xinxue gently stroked the place where the red line was before and asked Ashu cautiously.
When the snake girl heard the sound, she realized that she was touching her wound. She was surprised: "Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore... It's a little itchy. The wound should be healing quickly!"
"That's good!" It took three or four hours to sort out the red line for the first time. Xinxue felt a little tired, but for some reason she didn't feel sleepy at all.
It seemed like I had endless energy, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.
So she ran to where the upper half of Ashu's body was and opened her arms: "I'm hungry, let's go hunting!"
This kind of thing becomes easier with practice. She was a little shy when she asked for a hug the first time, but now she no longer feels that way.
The two agreed that it would be more convenient for Ah Shu to hold Xinxue when they went out hunting, so this became a routine.
"Little doctor, what do you want to eat today?" After spending a long time with Xinxue, Ah Shu felt that his living habits had begun to change.
She used to eat only one meal every one or two weeks, and she would eat a lot at each meal, making her stomach bloated.
But now Xinxue eats two or three meals a day, and I like to feed her a little at each meal.
Although I didn't eat much at each meal, according to Ah Shu, it was not enough to fill my stomach.
But her eating habits gradually changed to eating small meals frequently...
Xinxue thought about it for a moment and felt a little craving for meat.
So Ashu took her to the giant rat's lair.
When they arrived at the place, Xinxue asked Ashu not to go over first.
She made a 'hushing' sound in Ah Shu's ear, "Let's go to a higher place and try not to make any noise."
Although Ah Shu was confused, he subconsciously did as she said.
They came to a high platform from which they could have a clear view of the rat's nest.
Xinxue calmed down and focused her attention.
The threads within the bodies of the giant brown rats unfolded before her eyes.
Most mice have very few lines on their bodies, and they are all white. Because their evolutionary direction is relatively simple, they rarely make mistakes.
But Xinxue found a special giant rat among them.
Although it was facing away from this direction, the white lines on its body were densely packed, almost half the density of the network lines on Ah Shu's body.
Compared with other members of the same species who have four or five evolutionary lines on their bodies, it looks like it is wrapped in a white net, with several parts of its body wrapped in red and black lines.
"I found a giant rat that has evolved many times."
Xinxue retracted her gaze and discussed with Ah Shu, "Why don't we catch it and study it? We won't eat it, but just keep it for fun. It'll also give me some practice."
All superpowers become more powerful the more they are used.
She couldn't possibly train herself solely on the lines of the snake woman's body.
Practicing with difficult cases right from the start is too discouraging and not conducive to the practice and development of superpowers.
Today, just dealing with one ball of red thread exhausted all of Xinxue's energy.
Not to mention that there are so many larger and more tangled balls of red and black thread on Ah Shu's body.
It will take a lot of effort to upgrade to the level where you can deal with them calmly.
"Okay... help me recognize it..." Ashu always agrees to Xinxue's requests readily.
Not a single question was raised this time.
The giant snake held her girl in its arms and rushed into the giant rat's lair.
From the moment they saw that figure, the giant rats on the ground were so scared that they started scurrying around, secretly observing her movements.
They were surprised to find that the snake woman's foraging posture today was different from before.
Before, they would sniff around looking for young, tender individuals, and either catch them ruthlessly or swallow them in the street.
But today, he was holding a human, as if he was looking for something with a purpose.
He let go of several young giant rats and continued to look around.
Xinxue leaned over to the snake girl's ear and whispered, "That's the one with the white ear in front. Be gentle and don't scare it away."
"Yes, pretend to go in another direction..."
"Now, turn back!"
In the blink of an eye, Ah Shu swung his tail quickly.
He pretended to walk forward and successfully made White Ear relax his guard.
But he turned around, grabbed its legs, and lifted it up upside down.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!!”
A shrill squeaking sound was heard, so loud that Xinxue had to cover her ears.
The giant rats that were originally fleeing everywhere, despite hearing this sound, surrounded Ah Shu against their nature and gradually formed a circle around him.
Hundreds of pairs of black eyes with fierce gleams were staring at this side.
Although she knew that they could not hurt her with the snake girl around, Xinxue was still scared and crawled under Ashu's neck.
"Stop screaming, or I'll eat you right now!" Ah Shu was also annoyed by its squeaking.
Her jaw relaxed, her mouth opened to an impossible angle.
The sharp teeth and scarlet mouth are exposed, which is full of threats.
Bai Erduo struggled frantically but in vain. Seeing her mouth getting closer and closer, he had to stop making any sound, shaking like a sieve.
But the giant rats that its howling had just attracted still did not retreat, and continued to approach gradually like a suicide squad.
Xinxue realized that the call of Bai Erduo could last for a while, which was confusing to the rat group.
She immediately decided: "Forget it, let's eat something else and go with White Ears today!"
A Shu picked up the white ears and put them in front of his eyes, looked at them meaningfully, followed Xinxue's advice, and started to rush back.
Along the way, White Ears struggled, screamed, and summoned giant rats, trying every possible means, but every move was suppressed by the snake woman.
In the face of absolute power, even the desperate resistance of the weak would appear laughable.
Seeing that there was no other way, Bai Erduo no longer hid.
Xinxue and Ah Shu heard a clear child's voice coming from the side at the same time: "Please, big sisters, don't eat me. I will serve you like a slave and serve you tea and water!"
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
After a while, Xinxue asked, "How do you speak idioms?"
White Ears said reluctantly, "...I've lived around the base for a long time and learned this from the humans."
Xinxue was silent for a moment, then said admiringly, "You're quite good at hiding. Humans will kill mice when they see them."
In the eyes of the general public, rats are something that everyone wants to kill.
In the apocalypse, they will steal the hard-earned food of humans, spread diseases, and seek revenge if they cannot be killed completely.
Even the baby mice have no chance of survival.
"I can become invisible, like this." Perhaps she discovered that the snake could communicate with her pendant and was not an unreasonable creature.
Bai Erduo relaxed a lot. He twisted his body and gradually blended into the surroundings, reducing his presence to the minimum.
It's not completely invisible in the true sense, but as long as you don't stare at it, you really won't be able to notice it.
Ah Shu, who had been silent the whole time, raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Erduo. "You're quite smart. This is the choice a weak person should make."
The implication is that she is very powerful, so she would not choose this sneaky evolutionary direction.
That look is so hateful.
Even Xinxue felt like she was accidentally shot in the knee.
Invisibility is also a very important ability for her.
If she could become invisible, when she was sick and not picked up by Ah Shu, or was starving, she could sneak into the base to eat things that others didn't want or that were left in the warehouse and forgotten about...
She changed the subject and asked Bai Erduo: "Do you have a name?"
White Ear thought for a moment and said, "No. But the other giant rats listen to me. You can also call me the Rat King."
Ah Shu sneered twice, "White Ears, or Little White, you choose one."
Since she hasn't even claimed the title of king, no king is allowed to appear in this area.
Bai Erduo still wanted to struggle, but when his eyes met Ashu, he suddenly lost his courage.
He said timidly, "Then, just call me Xiaobai."
Ashu was very satisfied with its tact.
She caught the giant rat, which was as big as a dog, in front of her.
With deep eyes, he looked at it and said quietly: "Okay, Xiaobai. From now on, you will be our giant rat.
You are not allowed to escape without permission, otherwise I will catch you and eat you even if I chase you to the ends of the earth."
Xinxue was also stunned when she heard this. Ah Shu had been keeping her in a honey pot for a while, and she almost forgot that she was a ruthless and cruel python.
A rat has to bow its head when it is in the mouth of a snake.
After many evolutions, Xiaobai vaguely felt that he had lost the common language with his own kind.
But after leaving the rat group, the outside world was too dangerous, so it just had to make do and try to be the rat king.
Now the peaceful life finally has some waves.
The waves are wide and broad, one after another, and it has to accept it at the cost of losing freedom.
Xiaobai stopped struggling and sighed deeply: "Okay, on the condition that you don't deduct my rations and don't harm my body."
