Chapter 261 - 229: Saint Heir
Having almost been eaten by the mutated Snow Lotus, Jiang Si became even more cautious about where she would rest for the night.
She was about to leave when it suddenly occurred to her that the Snow Lotus wasn’t just medicinal; it was also edible.
A flower this big would be enough food for the next couple of days.
Jiang Si found a stick nearby and brushed all the concealing snow off the Snow Lotus’s surface.
Digging up the whole thing would be difficult, and the Snow Lotus’s translucent, crystal-clear petals looked incredibly appetizing.
Jiang Si plucked them off one by one. The Snow Lotus, struggling against Jiang Si’s temperature control, didn’t dare to so much as stretch out its roots.
Jiang Si plucked away until only the core of the flower, disguised as a cave, remained.
’That should be enough.’ Jiang Si folded and packed the petals, ready to leave. But then it occurred to her that another location might be even more dangerous, so it was better to just stay put.
Jiang Si backed away with the snow wolf. The temperature dropped again, and the Snow Lotus’s roots stirred. Suddenly, a burning torch was thrown right at it.
The Snow Lotus’s roots looked like a terrifying pile of writhing worms, letting out a ferocious, silent scream.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t break free from the flames. In just a few moments, it was reduced to a charred lump.
Jiang Si dug a new shelter from the wind and hid inside with the snow wolf.
In her last life, animals had never liked her. This life had been full of surprises in that regard.
Big Black, Little Black, the Snow Monkey, the moose, and the Vulture had all followed her.
As she hugged the snow wolf’s soft belly, Jiang Si’s consciousness was suddenly pulled back to an emergency unfolding on Qin Shen’s end.
Dense swarms of killer bees circled in the air, forming one dark cloud after another. Like mobile killing machines, they spotted the moving object in the sky and immediately gave chase to their helicopter.
Qin Shen sped up, but the killer bees still caught up.
When Jiang Si’s consciousness entered Mei Na’s body, the Barrier Space lost its effect, allowing the killer bees to catch up easily.
The helicopter’s flight was obstructed. The killer bees could gather their immense power at any moment and smash through the windows. Jiang Si had no choice but to immediately withdraw her consciousness from Mei Na’s body.
Her consciousness snapped back. WHOOSH! The terrifying killer bees were swept away by the mobile Barrier.
The sky suddenly brightened again. Jiang Si let out a sigh of relief. She wanted to re-enter Mei Na’s body to temporarily protect her.
But she found she couldn’t get in.
She looked at Kilton with a grave expression and asked him, "After the Laina Holy Mother controls someone, can she not immediately control them again?"
She had tried several times, but it didn’t work.
Mei Na wasn’t in danger for now, but that didn’t mean she would be safe later. After finding Mei Na, Jiang Si also wanted to search for Shen Baoying and the others nearby.
Her fear was that when Shen Baoying’s group was teleported, they were sent to different, separate locations.
Bo Xi had a superpower, so he could last a little longer if he encountered danger. But Shen Baoying and the others, who didn’t have superpowers, were in much greater peril.
Kilton immediately shook his head. "She could control me repeatedly, but there was always a cooldown period. It’s probably like my teleportation ability; each use consumes a lot of energy." Suddenly, his eyes widened in realization, and he asked in terror, "You mean you can’t control my sister anymore?"
He was terrified that Mei Na would be in danger.
Jiang Si nodded. "Not for now. We’ll have to wait and see if I can try again later."
This was also her first time using the Laina Holy Mother’s power. Besides, everyone adapted differently after obtaining an energy stone.
This was also why Jiang Si hadn’t directly absorbed the energy stone from Kilton’s body.
Even if she did absorb it, she might not necessarily gain the ability to open black holes for teleportation.
Kilton was frantic. He asked Jiang Si pleadingly, "Is my sister okay right now?"
After explaining what had just happened to everyone, Jiang Si said to Kilton, "She’s safe for the moment."
The worry was that if Mei Na woke up suddenly and was startled by the snow wolf lying next to her, it could end badly for both of them.
Therefore, they had to pick up the pace.
Jiang Si’s Barrier Space allowed them to fly unimpeded. But suddenly, the Barrier detected a powerful force blocking their path.
Jiang Si’s brow furrowed. She said to Qin Shen, "Stop flying forward. Observe the ground."
Qin Shen adjusted their altitude, descending from the clouds at ten thousand meters. When the ground came into view, he was struck dumb by the sight of massive herds of Mammoths.
Prehistoric creatures. They had actually appeared.
’Is this because of mutation, or some kind of spatio-temporal distortion?’
