Chapter 132 Rabbit Feast
Chapter 132 Rabbit Feast
"Great idea!" Meng Qiuhe, his mouth full of oil, was the first to nod. He was a picky eater and usually relied on snacks to keep going. But now that he had eaten the mutated rabbit, he couldn't stop.
"I agree." Chu Deng licked her lips. She was a five-elemental ability user. If she really ate freely, fifty rabbits would be no problem. Now she had eaten less than one, which could only be described as having tasted it.
With such delicious food in front of us, why would we leave now?
Jin Xiaoyue led the way, Chu Deng brought up the rear, and Meng Qiuhe stayed in the middle, content to be a useless person. The three of them headed towards the tropical exotic plants in the Yulin Pavilion.
Because of the high humidity requirements, the glasshouse of tropical exotic plants has a lot of water vapor. The pond is naturally formed and not particularly large, only 2 meters long and 1 meter wide.
"Our instructor said this little pond doesn't look big, but it's quite deep, and they don't let us get close easily." Jin Xiaoyue bent down and looked at the rabbits eating grass in their cage. She then asked Chu Deng for help, "Dengdeng, I can't tell which one tastes better?"
Chu Deng and Meng Qiuhe gathered in front of the cage, pointing and gesturing.
"That one looks fatter."
"No, the smaller one is a mutation, but it's too small. It's better to raise it a bit bigger before eating it."
"What about that one? It looks lively, it's bumping into its cage. It's very active, so its meat must be very good."
"Wait, it looks like a metal-type mutation? It's about to break free."
"Crack—Bang—"
The metal latch broke off naturally without anyone touching it, the break was neat and clean, as if it had been chopped open.
The rabbits in the cage scrambled out one by one. Chu Deng quickly grabbed one, two, three, four... using both hands, she managed to catch thirteen. She stepped on the ears and tails of three rabbits with each foot. The rabbits wriggled and started squealing. One rabbit squealed, and then a whole group of rabbits started squealing. It was the first time Chu Deng had ever heard this, and the noise gave her a headache.
Sun Bushan, who was in charge of the Yulin Pavilion, was a seasoned gourmet. Because he had been guarding the pavilion for many years, he kept a group of rabbits there. Rabbits are known to be creatures with a particularly strong reproductive capacity. The cages started out small, then grew to large sizes, and eventually even evolved into a small house.
Because she trusted Yulin Pavilion's defense system too much, Sun Bushan didn't put high-tech locks on the cages. After all, even if these rabbits got out, they wouldn't dare to run around. The exotic plants in the pavilion were no pushovers; they were just as ruthless as her, eating rabbits without batting an eye.
The problem was that Chu Deng got a headache from all the noise and couldn't control her overflowing supernatural abilities.
At Meng Qiuhe's feet, the fire tree was happily absorbing the fire elements escaping from the air, and its roots were quietly peeking out of the flowerpot, carefully touching Chu Deng's shoes.
The peaceful and quiet atmosphere of the entire Yulin Pavilion suddenly changed. Some exotic plants suddenly sprouted leaves and roots, preparing to face the unknown enemy. Some more sensitive ones trembled and shrank back, burying themselves in the soil and not daring to show their faces. Others changed color on the spot and tried to blend into the environment in an attempt to get away with it.
This group of rabbits was a mix of three types. The rabbits were jumping around frantically. Because they were low-level, they couldn't sense the exact location of the danger nearby. They just frantically bumped into each other and ran around in all directions. Some of them jumped into the pond, splashing water everywhere. The scene was so chaotic that Jin Xiaoyue's mouth was full of rabbit fur.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Ugh... ptooey—" Jin Xiaoyue spat out fur as she got up, not wanting to continue being used as a footrest by the rabbit.
"Damn it! This rabbit bit my leg and pulled at my pants! What a rascal!" Meng Qiuhe howled in pain, desperately clinging to her pants, afraid of losing her virginity.
"Can I roast them all into rabbits?" Chu Deng, covered in rabbits, said in a sinister tone.
"No, no! It will cause a fire." Jin Xiaoyue shook her head repeatedly. She knew that her friend's level was more than just level one fire element. If things got out of hand, there would be no way to control the situation.
The fluffy rabbits were scratching him relentlessly, but Chu Deng, remembering the numerous fires in China, could only endure it, tossing the rabbits away one by one, many of which ended up in the pond.
"I can't take it anymore! I'm pressing the alarm!" Meng Qiuhe's eyes were red as he shouted twice, bursting out of the rabbit swarm and reaching out to press the alarm.
There were too many rabbits for the three of them to handle, so even if they got criticized, they had to ask for help.
Jin Xiaoyue slipped and fell into a pile of rabbits, experiencing being trampled by them. She bent over, covered her head, and rolled away. As she rolled, she felt a chill on her back and then fell into a small puddle with a "plop".
"Woo——"
The piercing alarm drowned out the sound of Jin Xiaoyue falling into the water, but it couldn't stop Chu Deng's hearing. Even though he knew his friend could swim and was a good swimmer, Chu Deng still went over to help pull his friend out of the pool.
Little did Jin Xiaoyue know that after struggling a few times in the water, just as she was about to adjust her posture and pull herself up from the ground, she felt something pulling her ankle underwater. Before she could even warn anyone, she was dragged down, leaving only a few bubbles on the surface of the pool.
Seeing the still water, Chu Deng jumped in without hesitation, a red glint appearing in his eyes as he used thermal imaging to get a clear view of the underwater situation.
The pool was indeed as deep as Jin Xiaoyue had said, with hidden currents flowing in three directions. Chu Deng saw the black hole at the bottom and guessed that the aquatic mutant rabbit that had fallen into the water earlier had dug a hole and crawled out. He didn't know where it was connected to at the bottom, but fortunately, it didn't create a fatal suction force, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.
Jin Xiaoyue's hair disappeared from one of the holes. Chu Deng was worried that she was only at level one and couldn't withstand holding her breath for a long time. Ignoring how long she had been injured, he reached out and grabbed the strand of hair, only to find that it was just a clump of black seaweed, not his friend's hair.
Oops!
Chu Deng quickly looked at the three holes to determine which one Jin Xiaoyue had disappeared from. He found traces of her struggle and hurriedly crawled inside.
The icy water took away her body temperature, and the slick, fishy smell of the sea filled her nostrils. Jin Xiaoyue held her breath, trying to stay awake amidst the rapid movement, attempting to see clearly what had taken her away.
But with the rushing seawater splashing against her eyes, her oxygen-deprived brain began to act up. Jin Xiaoyue's vision blurred, and in the darkness, the faster her heart beat, the less oxygen she could get. The burning sensation in her lungs was accompanied by the panic of death approaching with its scythe.
Jin Xiaoyue's finger twitched, and she quickly lost consciousness.
Underwater, Chu Deng's special ability was of little use. Relying solely on physical strength to chase an aquatic beast was like throwing an egg against a rock. But not chasing it meant letting his friend die. Chu Deng could only try to increase his speed with a brief burst of flame, his legs almost leaving afterimages as he swam. All his attention was focused on his eyes, staring intently at the two life forms ahead. When he realized that one of them was losing body temperature, Chu Deng knew that Jin Xiaoyue was nearing her limit.
hurry up! Hurry up!
Several lines of fire were launched, passing through the water drill below at an astonishing speed, avoiding the intense heat that would burn Jin Xiaoyue above. They intercepted the enemy's fire lines before Chu Deng could, twisting and intertwining to form a fire net in front of them, exuding a deadly aura.
At the same time, the firelight illuminated the underwater area, revealing the enemy's silhouette.
Chu Deng's pupils dilated. That was it!
