Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 399
To verify her suspicions, she moved forward several more meters.
It was at this moment that her body was uncontrollably and swiftly pulled.
She didn’t even have time to enter her space before a sharp, intense pain shot through her head.
Immediately after, she completely lost consciousness.
What she didn’t know was that she had been sucked into a giant seashell.
As soon as she entered, the shell automatically closed.
The light in the depths of the ocean vanished instantly.
Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
On the surface of the sea.
Everyone was engaged in a fierce battle with mutated sea creatures.
Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise.
"Look, everyone! The black fog around us has disappeared!"
Hearing this, many took a moment to glance up at the sea.
Indeed, the increasingly thick and encroaching black fog was gone!
It had happened in the blink of an eye.
Just moments ago, many had seen the fog lingering around them.
But now, not a trace of it remained!
Though only a sliver of light remained on the horizon, they could still see the scene clearly for several kilometers around.
This was real!
And the most immediate sensation was that the dizziness they had felt earlier was gone.
In other words, whatever had been trapping them had truly vanished!
While everyone was overjoyed, they also felt puzzled.
Why had the fog suddenly disappeared?
"It must be Xiao Xiao!" Nie Yizhou exclaimed excitedly.
There was another possibility—his giant turtle, Wuji.
But he wasn’t too confident in Wuji’s abilities, so he dismissed that thought outright.
He looked around, frowning slightly.
"Where’s Xiao Xiao? Why hasn’t she come back yet?"
"Maybe she just destroyed that thing and hasn’t had time to surface yet," Xiao Feng suggested.
Nie Yizhou thought that made sense.
But then, he started to worry about Wuji again.
Where had that guy gone?
Had it run into Xiao Xiao?
Just as he was pondering this, a loud splash erupted from the shore behind them.
The sound startled everyone, and those who could spare a moment turned to look.
There, the water churned violently, forming a massive whirlpool.
The sea was being stirred up as if something enormous was about to emerge.
Soon, a giant turtle rose from the center of the whirlpool.
Wait, not just a turtle!
Behind the massive black shell, a huge snake’s head lifted high.
As the snake’s head swayed, its body coiled around the turtle’s shell.
What... was this thing?!
Had the turtle cheated, or had the snake strayed?
At first glance, everyone was stunned.
They had never seen a mutated creature like this before.
"I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before," Hao Xing muttered, his expression conflicted.
Chen Junzhe, standing beside him, adjusted his glasses.
A glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.
"This is Xuanwu," he said calmly.
As soon as he spoke, something clicked in Hao Xing’s mind.
"That’s right! It’s Xuanwu, the mythical beast from ancient legends! I’ve seen it in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*!"
"Xuanwu? No way! Isn’t that just a myth?"
The others were equally astonished.
"Wow, it really does look like it!"
"Oh my god, this world has truly gone supernatural. Even mythical beasts are showing up now. What’s next?"
"I thought we were in the apocalypse, but now it feels like we’ve crossed into another dimension!"
"We’re doomed! Xuanwu’s coming toward us! Are we going to die?!"
Everyone was on high alert, fighting off the vicious mutated fish while keeping a wary eye on the rapidly approaching Xuanwu.
Lu Chen, Ling Jing, Xiao Feng, Nie Yizhou, Bai Hongting, Jiang Huai, Peng Shaowei, and Tang Jun all rushed to the front, ready for battle.
Nie Yizhou snorted. "Hmph, half-turtle, half-snake—it’s not even that impressive. Not as cool as my Wuji! Whatever this Xuanwu is, if it dares to come, we’ll take it down together!"
Just as everyone tensed up, preparing for a fierce battle, they realized that Xuanwu wasn’t heading for them at all. Instead...
It was targeting the mutated fish monsters thrashing in the sea!
In one swift motion, it opened both its turtle and snake mouths, swallowing a massive barrel-sized mutated grouper and a spiky pufferfish whole.
Then, it swiftly attacked the remaining mutated fish.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This Xuanwu... seemed to be on their side!
Xuanwu wreaked havoc, slaughtering the mutated fish with ease.
The once-ferocious fish either fell to its attacks or fled in terror, seemingly suppressed by its sheer presence.
With Xuanwu’s sudden assistance, everyone had a moment to breathe.
They watched in awe as Xuanwu systematically eliminated every mutated fish near the shore.
"You know," Ling Jing said, shoving his hands into his pockets and smirking at Nie Yizhou, "this Xuanwu kind of reminds me of your little turtle."
Nie Yizhou: !!!
Really?
No way...
Could it be?!
His eyes sparkled as he stared at the heroic Xuanwu.
Was this really his Wuji?
Had his weakling turned into a god of war?
He wanted to believe it but was afraid of being disappointed, so he nervously watched Xuanwu dominate the battlefield.
When Xuanwu finally killed the last mutated crab, tossing it onto the rocks, and swam toward him, his excitement reached its peak.
Xuanwu stretched its turtle head toward Nie Yizhou, stopping right in front of him, and gently nudged his shoulder.
Nie Yizhou: !!!
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Yes, yes!
This was definitely his Wuji!
Xuanwu quickly shrank to the size of a palm, crawling up Nie Yizhou’s arm and settling into his embrace.
At that moment, Nie Yizhou was filled with pride.
His smug expression was almost unbearable.
But even Xiao Feng, who loved to bicker with him, didn’t say a word.
Everyone felt that, for once, his arrogance was justified.
Nie Yizhou might often be unreliable, but when Wuji was still weak, everyone had expected him to abandon it and find a new partner. Yet he hadn’t.
Despite his constant complaints, he had always cared for Wuji and treated it as a true companion.
So now that Wuji had become so powerful, no one begrudged him his moment of glory.
No one knew what kind of encounter Wuji had experienced in the depths of the sea, but it had clearly evolved into the legendary mythical beast, Xuanwu.
It was truly unbelievable.
"What are you looking at?" Ling Jing asked as he approached Lu Chen.
Lu Chen gazed at the calm sea, a hint of worry flashing in his cold eyes.
"Xiao Xiao hasn’t come back yet."
