Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 42

”It’s not just seasonings. To make delicious food, tools are also indispensable. We only have two pots right now, and many things are inconvenient to make. Plus, we don’t have replacements. If we come across a supermarket, besides various seasonings, we also need to get some professional cooking tools: woks, frying pans, steamers, hot pots, pressure cookers, soup pots, and crock pots...” Li Wenxuan was seriously calculating with Mi Lu how many cooking tools they needed!

Lin Shuangshuang, who happened to pass by and overheard their conversation...

The evolution time for Red Jade was the longest, lasting a full five days, yet it didn’t disappoint Li Wenxuan and Mi Lu’s expectations. Sure enough, it evolved into something as large as a massive trailer, and still an extended version. If they really came upon a big supermarket, perhaps one spider could move the entire supermarket!

The first thing Red Jade did after waking up was to take out her eggs from under her belly. Previously, her enormous figure had covered them up, and no one noticed. Now, everyone was shocked to find that the originally large spider eggs had grown to the size of goose eggs, and there were densely packed at least over two thousand of them!

Although Red Jade’s eggs were very large and numerous, they were beautifully and dreamily bright white, almost more beautiful than the finest mutton fat jade! A large pile of eggs wrapped in spider silk didn’t make anyone feel creeped out at all.

As soon as Red Jade took out her eggs from under her belly, she sought help from Lin Shuangshuang through consciousness. She needed to eat a large amount immediately.

The reason why Red Jade’s evolution took so long this time was that she was utilizing the vast energy during evolution to incubate her babies.

Red Jade was fortunate that her babies were conceived before the world’s mutation. Unmutated spiders would produce around a hundred eggs, while Red Jade, being of a large breed, could lay more than three thousand eggs at once before the mutation.

This was Red Jade’s first pregnancy. Perhaps because her body received some energy from the world’s mutation early, she only had about two thousand eggs.

These eggs followed Red Jade, the mother, in her belly, went through the initial mutation, and were born, each uniquely advantaged. As long as the spiderlings from these eggs were hatched, they would innately be particularly mutated spiders, and their attack power when grown would not be less than Red Jade’s. However, these spiderlings needed a significant amount of time to grow.

For special mutated creatures, while there were benefits, the cost was a drastic reduction in fertility. If Red Jade hadn’t been pregnant before the mutation, it would be particularly difficult for her to give birth in the future. Even if she could give birth, she would only have a few offspring, and the mutated spider eggs would require vast energy to hatch!

If Red Jade hadn’t met Lin Shuangshuang and relied on her own hunting to incubate the eggs, more than ninety percent of her eggs would have died. But Red Jade was fortunate to meet Lin Shuangshuang. With Lin Shuangshuang’s generous feeding, she managed to let all her children get nourished with energy.

However, the energy could only support those eggs from dying of malnutrition. To hatch the eggs, relying solely on the energy from Red Jade’s food intake was far from enough. Fortunately, Red Jade had a reliable owner. Trusting wholeheartedly in Lin Shuangshuang, Red Jade daringly chose to use the abundant energy that momentarily suffused the world during her evolution to hatch her children.

Red Jade’s decision showed complete trust in Lin Shuangshuang, as mutated creatures split energy during evolution—some to strengthen themselves and some to protect themselves from other creatures’ attacks.

Red Jade chose to use some energy to strengthen herself and some to incubate her children, entrusting her own safety entirely to her owner, Lin Shuangshuang!

Now that the most abundant energy time had passed, Red Jade’s children were still a little short on energy to hatch. Solely relying on absorbing the world’s energy could no longer sustain the spiderlings’ incubation. Red Jade was forced to awaken and seek help from Lin Shuangshuang.

This complete evolution of Red Jade increased her wisdom slightly. Although not by much, Lin Shuangshuang could guess and analyze the information Red Jade conveyed to her and understand nearly all of it. Knowing the reason, Lin Shuangshuang immediately took out the dried insects she had previously saved for Red Jade to eat.

After mutation, Red Jade’s mouth could swallow ten large millstones at once, with fangs munching like a crusher. The mountain-high pile of insects before her was visibly shrinking.

Lin Shuangshuang sensed that these insects were likely not enough for Red Jade and hurriedly grabbed the Qingque Sword to fetch more food for her. Song Yuhang left half of the teammates to guard the camp and protect everyone, while he took the other half to assist Lin Shuangshuang.

While wielding the sword to slay insects, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly recalled the silk thread that had been wrapped around her wrist and suddenly unleashed great power before! She tried to channel a bit of Inner Strength into the silk thread.

Just like last time, as soon as the Inner Strength got close to the silk thread, it was completely absorbed. However, this time, it didn’t deplete the Inner Strength in Lin Shuangshuang’s meridians. It only absorbed the Inner Strength she provided, and then, as if it came to life, the blue small orb at the end of the thread stood up.

The blue small orb connected to an almost transparent thread swayed by Lin Shuangshuang’s side, looking somewhat eerie, as though the thread had gained a spirit!

Moreover, the swinging blue bead seemed like it was observing the surroundings and people, leaving a creepy sensation.

Song Yuhang, who had been following Lin Shuangshuang, changed his expression several times, couldn’t help but rub his arms, and subtly took a few steps back, avoiding the floating blue bead beside Lin Shuangshuang with the thread.

Song Yuhang’s teammates also unconsciously distanced themselves from this eerie thread with a blue orb.

Others found it eerie, but Lin Shuangshuang felt very close to it, inexplicably happy, knowing its power, which she had witnessed before. Today, she wanted to test whether she could use it flexibly.

”Shuangshuang, why not give this thing a name? Earlier, its power was really remarkable, stronger than thermal weapons, so it deserves a proper name. We can’t keep calling it a thread!”

Lin Shuangshuang thought about it and felt it was indeed inappropriate to keep calling it a thread. Since it’s her weapon, it should have a name, like Qingque has its name.

As soon as she thought about naming it, almost instantly, a name arose from the depths of Lin Shuangshuang’s heart, and she couldn’t help but blurt out, ”Thousand Silk Entanglement!”

”Thousand Silk Entanglement! That’s a nice name and quite fitting!” Song Yuhang thought for a moment and nodded in approval.

Lin Shuangshuang herself was a bit dazed; she had really just blurted it out without having time to think about it, but the name Thousand Silk Entanglement was indeed quite pleasant and suitable.

Having decided on the name Thousand Silk Entanglement, Lin Shuangshuang intended to research how to use it thoroughly today. However, before she could make any significant moves, her actions were interrupted by a woman’s piercing scream!
