Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 163: I Am Not a Holy Mother 70

The place has evolved so much that it no longer resembles a tropical rainforest at all, but the variety of life remains abundant. There are dozens of types of ants alone, and various mammals and birds. Lin Shuangshuang hunted some insects as food for Red Jade and caught many mutant animals to serve as food for everyone in the upcoming period.

In the time that followed, everyone became obsessed with cultivating, staying in the mobile safety fortress without stepping out except for basic needs. They even begrudged sleep when they could be cultivating. This obsessive pace led to rapid progress, and in just half a month, they all advanced in their superpower levels consecutively.

To everyone’s surprise, the first person to advance wasn’t Lin Shuangshuang, who had a rapid cultivation speed, but Li Wenbo, who cultivated the Water Ability.

While cultivating his superpower, Li Wenbo would always hold a fruit and attempt to extract its moisture after a period of practice, as this was the only attack method his Water Ability had against mutant plants.

When his superpower advanced, Li Wenbo habitually tried to use his Water Ability to draw moisture from the fruit. Expecting failure as usual, he was shocked when he succeeded. A cluster of light red juice with a sweet aroma was extracted!

The once plump fruit in Li Wenbo’s hand had become a shriveled dried fruit and fell to the ground. In its place, a light pink juice floated in the air, controlled by his superpower.

Li Wenbo was incredulous at first, but then he was overwhelmingly happy! He laughed loudly, disturbing everyone, ”Look, look! My superpower has advanced! I can extract water from plants now! My superpower advanced, hahaha! Now I have attack power against mutant plants too, haha!” Li Wenbo was almost delirious with joy!

This was primarily because Li Wenbo, a naturally combative person, was sidelined in the last fight against Mutated Vines, which was frustrating and wounded his pride. Now, with his superpower’s advance granting him attack power, he was ecstatic.

Unfortunately, Li Wenbo’s brother Li Wenxuan had no intention of sharing in his brother’s joy. When he saw the cluster of light pink juice in Li Wenbo’s hand, his first reaction was to take out a large glass jar from space and then called out to the ice superpower wielder beside Song Yuhang, ”Second, make some ice cubes quickly!”

After instructing Second to make ice cubes, Li Wenxuan then produced a pile of fruit and tossed it in front of Li Wenbo, ”Quick, extract the juice from these fruits. This scorching weather is unbearable; a chilled juice would be perfect to cool down! Way better than just drinking iced water!”

These fruits were originally gathered by Ah Cai for Lin Shuangshuang. There were too many, and everyone couldn’t finish them, so they were stored in Li Wenxuan’s space to consume slowly. Now, they were taken out for Li Wenbo to juice.

Li Wenbo...

All his excitement and enthusiasm were dampened by his brother’s actions. He completely lost his boastful spirit and, resigned, wiped his face, sat down, and started juicing!

Everyone drank the chilled fruit juice, feeling an exhilarating coolness. The dried fruit, left over from the juice extraction, wasn’t wasted either. Ah Cai was very interested in them and munched on them one after another.

Li Wenbo’s breakthrough acted like a signal, and soon after, everyone broke through one after another. After the excitement, they cultivated even more diligently, aiming to reach higher levels.

In this state of cultivation, time seemed to lose its meaning, and after everyone broke through several levels, they felt that they could no longer improve by isolating themselves further. By then, three months had passed.

This mission, although not time-limited, wasn’t supposed to be delayed for too long either. The group decided to explore deeper into the rainforest, to discover the reason behind the concentrated energy here, while also fighting mutant creatures to master the power and abilities they had developed in seclusion, striving to enhance their strength as quickly as possible in every way.

As per the intel received prior, this place was teeming with particularly mutant creatures. In just half a day’s trek, they encountered two uniquely mutated insects. The other mutant creatures were fiercer than those in other places. Had they not followed Zhang Ling’s advice to spend three months in cultivation, they wouldn’t have made it far and might have ended up as food for these ferocious mutant beings.

In the following days of travel, everyone’s strength skyrocketed. The mutant creatures here were aggressive, attacking relentlessly, forcing the group to be on guard at all times, except when resting in the mobile safety fortress.

The mutant species here differ from others; even when satiated, they continue to hunt and fight, attacking humans and each other without rest, making them especially powerful. After delving deeper for a few days, everyone began to understand why previous scouting teams hadn’t survived. Had they not heeded Zhang Ling’s foresight to strengthen first, they surely would have shared the same fate, left here forever without a chance to return.

What weighed heavily on everyone’s mind was that during their time in this area, they saw no humans. This forced an unpleasant speculation that humans unable to draw energy directly from the world may have been wiped out by these extremely aggressive mutant beings during the initial world mutation!

In the time that followed, they still encountered no humans and found no signs of human activity, nor did they see any members of the previous scout teams, or any survivors at all.

The group fell silent; the implications of this situation were clear to all, and it dampened the mood.

Song Yuhang bit on a blade of grass he pulled randomly, gazing at the endless towering trees and immense jungle before him. Turning back to see the dejected faces of the group, he frowned. This wouldn’t do. In such a grim and oppressive state, the negative mindset could easily lead to breakdown.

He clapped his hands and yelled loudly, ”All of you, perk up! What, because the ones before us didn’t make it out, we can’t either? Who are we? We’re elite! We handle what others can’t! It’s because others can’t that it’s up to us, and what others can’t achieve, we can! Likewise, wherever others can’t escape from, we certainly can! Because we are the elite, specializing in solving what others cannot!”
