Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 51

All the little spiders quickly devoured the white energy blocks that Red Jade had pulled out, and then climbed up along Red Jade’s claws onto her body, attaching themselves to her abdomen.

It must be said, Red Jade’s body was large enough that the many small spiders attaching to her didn’t visibly change her appearance.

Since Shuangshuang’s goal for the day had been accomplished with all of Red Jade’s progeny hatched, she planned to get everyone on the road and quickly head toward the Capital, worried about what might happen to her parents without her by their side.

Traveling was much easier this time. With the new additions of Zhang Ling and Sister Yanhong, tasks like laundry were taken care of by them and their subordinates, relieving everyone significantly.

Zhang Ling’s tactics were indeed versatile and clever, rivaling Li Man’s. Even though everyone remained wary of her, it was inevitable that they gradually warmed up to her.

Of course, Zhang Ling mainly focused her charm offensive on Shuangshuang, but Shuangshuang wasn’t easy to win over. She neither disliked nor particularly liked Zhang Ling, as she generally had an aversion to those with deep-seated scheming, especially since she’d been terribly tricked by Li Man, someone notoriously shrewd.

Zhang Ling found Shuangshuang quite a challenge; she had never encountered anyone so impervious. Despite relentless attempts to win her favor, Zhang Ling found that Shuangshuang remained indifferent. Yet, Zhang Ling was undeterred, seeing great potential and a promising future in Shuangshuang.

The journey ahead was quite smooth because Shuangshuang was eager to return to see her parents. She chose not to keep training everyone as they traveled and instead had them all sit atop Red Jade for a swift journey.

Not only was Shuangshuang anxious, but Song Yuhang and Ma Yuan were also concerned. They had basically confirmed that consuming mutated creatures was vastly beneficial to the body, yet the base was likely still cautiously afraid to try it. They needed to deliver this vital information quickly, as it was crucial for humanity’s survival.

Though Red Jade’s size wasn’t as gigantic as Mi Lu had hoped, comparable to two trucks, she was still as big as one and a half. Carrying people, goods, her babies, and her food on her back posed no burden.

Red Jade’s eight long legs moved swiftly, effortlessly crossing mountains, and her speed in running was no less than that of a car. In just about two days, they’d reached a familiar area for Shuangshuang—she’d spent many years there in a previous life—close to the base run by Zhao Yan’s father, Zhao Zhenxiang.

Arriving here, Shuangshuang was troubled by the task of leaving Zhao Yan at Zhao Zhenxiang’s base.

Prior to this, Shuangshuang only intended to drop Zhao Yan off at his father’s base. But now, because everyone was in a hurry, they’d been bypassing all private aircraft.

Were Shuangshuang to suddenly request a stop at Zhao Zhenxiang’s base, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion. Yet, she couldn’t explain how she knew it was Zhao Yan’s father’s base, unless she outright claimed she’d been reincarnated.

”Help!!!”

Before Shuangshuang could devise a strategy, her thoughts were interrupted by a warped, shrill cry for help. As soon as Shuangshuang raised her head, before she even considered investigating the situation, she saw precisely what was going on.

Coming directly toward them was a man dragging a woman along, desperately running while yelling for help.

Behind the man was a massive bullfrog, as large as a small hill! This area, far from the city, must have been a former village or town, and it was likely that someone had been farming this bullfrog.

Upon seeing the bullfrog’s exceptional size, Shuangshuang realized it was a particularly mutated bullfrog—the first specially mutated creature she’d encountered aside from Red Jade.

Shuangshuang frowned slightly. Specially mutated creatures were tough to handle because they largely departed from their original traits; no one could predict what abilities they had evolved. But one certainty was that no specially mutated creature was easy to deal with.

Despite frowning, there was a flicker of temptation in Shuangshuang’s heart. Although tackling a specially mutated creature was challenging, eating its meat would bring tremendous benefits. Recall how Li Man took such significant risks to steal Red Jade’s eggs; the advantages of specially mutated creatures were immense.

Before Shuangshuang could dwell further, the mutant bullfrog had already extended its long tongue, aiming to scoop the two fleeing individuals into its mouth.

The Thousand Silk Entanglement wrapped around Shuangshuang’s wrist instantly shot out, binding the bullfrog’s long, menacing tongue that had wrapped around the couple’s waists. The Thousand Silk Entanglement tightened quickly, severing the mutant bullfrog’s tongue that had ensnared the pair!

Though Shuangshuang managed to cut off part of the bullfrog’s tongue, the sheer length meant it wasn’t severely wounded; the intense pain merely prompted the bullfrog to let out a loud, ox-like screech that hurt everyone’s eardrums.

Shuangshuang immediately jumped off Red Jade, then turned back to the people on Red Jade’s back, saying, ”Stay put on Red Jade and don’t wander.” With that, she turned to face the mutant bullfrog.

It’s not that Shuangshuang didn’t want to give everyone a real combat experience, but mutant creatures were out of their league to handle. Even for those with superpowers, facing mutant creatures was challenging, and Shuangshuang herself wasn’t sure if she could take on this particularly mutated bullfrog.

There wasn’t time to explain thoroughly to them; Shuangshuang uttered a quick warning, already engaged in combat with the furious mutant bullfrog.

As expected, specially mutated creatures weren’t easy to handle. Despite the bullfrog’s mountainside bulk, its movements were astonishingly nimble, and its tongue advanced with flexible approaches, matching Shuangshuang’s agility in combat.

Moreover, this mutant bullfrog possessed dynamic vision! It could precisely capture Shuangshuang’s movements, which put her at a disadvantage. If not for the fast speed of the Thousand Silk Entanglement, its cunning attack angles, and its sharp slicing impact once tangled, Shuangshuang might not have lasted this long in the fight.

Though Shuangshuang hadn’t been defeated, she couldn’t overcome this mutant bullfrog either, and the battle had become stagnant.

Prolonging this fight was negative for Shuangshuang as human stamina couldn’t surpass that of a mutant creature. Unless Shuangshuang finished off the bullfrog before her energy ran out, the consequences would be dire.

As Shuangshuang grew anxious, the mutant bullfrog’s tongue, once more shot out, suddenly froze in place, unable to retract!
