Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1051: Raising a Younger Brother in the Future 28

Although this rabbit has mutated from a white rabbit, its two hind legs are strong and powerful, with extremely sharp hind claws. A kick from these hind legs could send a person flying, and the sharp claws are more than enough to disembowel someone.

Despite being a white rabbit, its eyes are not the transparent, beautiful red like glass that people used to remember. Instead, they are a deep crimson, giving off a very fierce aura.

In addition to the front teeth used for gnawing grass, the mouth is filled with fangs, and its originally cute three-lobed mouth has mutated to protrude forward, somewhat like a wolf’s mouth, clearly evolving into an aggressive weapon.

Besides rabbits becoming ferocious, even the small wild vegetables that used to be at the mercy of others have gained attack abilities. Shuangshuang was attacked by a wild vegetable known as Curled Vegetable while picking wild vegetables.

This thing grows like a vine, with a bright green exterior, and not a single leaf, appearing ordinary and unremarkable, just like a common small vine.

Strictly speaking, although Curled Vegetable is edible and has been documented in wild vegetable guides as seemingly harmless to humans, it is actually a carnivorous mutant plant.

Curled Vegetable is best at using its vines to hunt small mammals, and once the vines catch a prey, it immediately drags it to the root area.

The root of Curled Vegetable is a large ball, ranging in size from as small as a fist to as large as a human head. The inside of the root is hollow, and it splits open in the middle, resembling a mouth.

As long as the vine delivers prey to the root, the crack in the root will open, and the vine will stuff the captured prey into the root and seal it inside.

At this point, the root secretes a corrosive liquid that slowly melts the trapped prey into liquid, which is then absorbed.

If it weren’t for its small size, this thing would pose a significant danger to humans because it attacks so silently that few prey can escape its attack.

The edible part of Curled Vegetable is its vine; after blanching the vines in hot water and peeling off the skin, they are delicious whether stir-fried alone or cooked with meat.

The stir-fried Curled Vegetable is exceptionally crispy and tender, with a sweet and delicate flavor. In the restaurants in the safety zone, a plate of fried Curled Vegetable comes at a high price, even more expensive than Level 3 or 4 exotic beast meat.

Curled Vegetable is almost impossible to avoid when it attacks, but it lacks intelligence; it will attempt to grasp any living being it encounters, regardless of whether it’s capable of holding onto the prey.

Thus, the fact that Curled Vegetable, a fiercely resilient mutant plant, has not become rampant is closely related to its indiscriminate hunting style.

If there were free wild vegetables to pick, there was no reason not to. The Curled Vegetable that attacked Shuangshuang was quite large, with enough vines to feed someone seven or eight times, while Shuangshuang casually tossed the remaining spherical root on the ground.

This plant has a tenacious life force; even if all its vines are cut off, it won’t die–just touching the soil will allow it to survive.

This wild vegetable is harmless to humans, with strength that even an ordinary person can easily uproot from the ground, and even if it can’t be uprooted, it won’t pose a threat to humans.

Therefore, encountering such a wild vegetable, Shuangshuang doesn’t mind letting it continue to live and return to harvest another batch later, like cutting chives.

After harvesting the Curled Vegetable, Shuangshuang also picked two other delicious wild vegetables, sold at high prices in the safety zone, and returned satisfied to the mobile safety fortress.

Upon Shuangshuang’s return, Fan Meijie immediately noticed the Curled Vegetable in her hand. Fan Meijie, being a carnivore, has few vegetables she eats; Curled Vegetable is one of the few she does like.

”Shuangshuang, you’re really lucky to have found Curled Vegetable. We’re in for a treat now. Since you’ve also caught a rabbit, why don’t we stir-fry the rabbit meat with Curled Vegetable?”

”Ever since I went to Hongyan Building with my parents last time, I haven’t had Curled Vegetable for months. Chang’an also likes it.”

Shuangshuang had no objections to Fan Meijie’s suggestion. With excellent ingredients and Shuangshuang’s top-notch culinary skills, all three of them were stuffed. After eating, Fan Meijie lay down right away, too stuffed to sit comfortably.

Chang’an was whining and licking his small belly, pretending to be a spoiled child, shamelessly asking Shuangshuang to rub his tummy.

While hunting in the afternoon, they encountered two mutant beast packs—one was a group of mutated hyenas, the other a pack of Giant-mouthed Beasts. The group of Giant-mouthed Beasts was enormous, with over two hundred of them assembled, a sight to behold.

Upon seeing the Giant-mouthed Beasts, Fan Meijie was somewhat dismissive due to the fact that Giant-mouthed Beasts in safety zones are commonly used for martial artists who have just started cultivation to practice on. They’re famous for being low-risk and easy to kill.

Fan Meijie felt that encountering these Giant-mouthed Beasts wouldn’t help her cultivation, but she couldn’t pass up the easy meat presented before her.

Giant-mouthed Beasts reproduce extremely quickly, and wild ones taste better than those raised in safety zones, with higher prices too.

With the mindset of not missing out on profit, Fan Meijie joined Shuangshuang in hunting the Giant-mouthed Beasts.

Before leaving, Fan Meijie told Chang’an, who stayed in the safety fortress, ”Little Chang’an, stay in the safety fortress and don’t doze off. Keep your eyes open.

In a little while, your Sister Meijie will show off her skills, let you see my handsome moves when slaying mutant beasts, and set an example for you to become a formidable martial artist like Sister Meijie in the future.”

Chang’an nodded cooperatively, blinking his starry eyes with an expression full of admiration and longing, ”Chang’an won’t doze off. Chang’an wants to watch Sister Meijie and Sister fight mutant beasts.”

Seeing Chang’an’s starry eyes, Fan Meijie laughed heartily, satisfied as she jumped down with a knife, ready to show her prowess among the Giant-mouthed Beasts.

However, it turned into a disaster as soon as she started; these wild Giant-mouthed Beasts were worlds apart in combat ability from the ones in safety zones, akin to the difference between domestic and wild pigs.

Giant-mouthed Beasts in safety zones are very docile, nearly lacking fighting skills, but wild Giant-mouthed Beasts are entirely different, using their heads to butt, bodies to ram, noses to push, and hooves to stomp. The ways of attack are numerous.

Although the battle was eventually won, with all adult Giant-mouthed Beasts except for the pregnant females and young ones becoming their spoils of war,

even with a great harvest, Fan Meijie couldn’t feel happy because Shuangshuang was the only one who looked cool in the battle.

Originally intending to stand out, Fan Meijie was initially flustered, dragging on during the chaotic attacks of the Giant-mouthed Beasts for quite some time before finding her rhythm.

Just as Fan Meijie felt frustrated and regretful for underestimating the enemy, a faint cry for help came from the distance.
