Chapter 268: Chapter 268

After dealing with the aftermath of the Wind Snow Ape’s death-triggered Magic Beast Tide, Qian Qi continued searching for the remaining evolution materials.

To be honest, the reason she dared to bet that those Silver Wolves were Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves was because this instance possessed all the evolution materials for Moon Silver Demon Wolves to evolve into B-level Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves. Therefore, it made logical sense for Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves to exist here.

Squatting by the ice pool, Qian Qi braced against the leaf attacks from the Ice Soul Xuanlong Grass, using the A-level knife to cut off the root of the Ice Soul Grass.

The roots of Ice Soul Grass are used for absorbing energy and nutrients. If more than one-third is removed, it easily becomes malnourished, so Qian Qi diligently cut away 33.3% and circled the ice pool to cut all of the Ice Soul Grass.

The quantity wasn’t small, so to take them back, she needed space to store them. Qian Qi glanced at the system interface, raising her eyebrows like caterpillars, the meaning in her eyes was clear.

Dear darling~ let me use your system space~

[Scram!]The system succinctly refused.

"Tch~ acting like I care~" Faced with rejection, Qian Qi’s eyes rolled up dramatically, "Systems shouldn’t be too cocky. You’re merely average. It’s laughable, thinking I want to use your space. I was really just giving you a chance to help me. Ha, I don’t desperately need your space."

[Qian Qi, you’re in quite a pitiful state when you break defensively~＾＿＾]The system smiled and said: [I really want to see how you plan to move these Ice Soul Grass roots without me.]

Qian Qi laughed, taking off the Defense Helmet, the S-level Defense Armor, and then undoing the A-level Defense Armor. She reached for her waistband.

The system quickly turned around: [Qian Qi! You’re being indecent!]

Qian Qi took out a wad of burlap bags from the pocket at the back of her pants, looking disdainfully, "Who’s being indecent?"

As the system turned to look at the burlap bags in her hand, it suddenly broke through her defenses: [You had burlap bags and still stuffed your heart into my mouth?!]

No wonder it thought that day when leaving the orphanage, Qian Qi’s backside was 1.83 cm thicker than usual; it was even pleased thinking this little slender dog had finally gained weight, though only on her butt...

But... it turns out she was secretly stuffing burlap bags in her back pockets?

"It’s because having them inside two layers of Defense Armor was inconvenient to take out." Qian Qi reasoned. After re-wearing the two Defense Armors, she added, "Hehe, I wonder who’s defensively breaking now~"

[You dare to compare that lousy burlap bag with my system space? It’s like comparing your shared bicycle with my Ferrari!]

"This isn’t a shared bicycle." Qian Qi shook the burlap bag woven from C-level Magic Plant Vines, refusing to back down, "This is a Wuling, if we met on the street clash a bit, let’s see who gets hurt!"

Fine, can’t argue with you, wait until you get home and keep acting smug!

After packing the Ice Soul Grass roots in burlap bags, Qian Qi used an A-level rope to string them together, hanging them on the Demon Wolf General.

Then she muttered to herself, "Let me see, next on the list are the Moon Core on the forehead of the C-level Double Moon Carving, C-level Swallow Nest Ice Jade Leaf, and 80-year-old C-level Moonlight Trifolium..."

Qian Qi looked at the Demon Wolf General, asked expectantly, "You’re familiar with this place, do you know where these things are?" Latest content published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Qian Ba translated it, and after thinking for a moment, the Demon Wolf General understood what Qian Qi was searching for and turned to lead the way for her.

These B-level Moon-devouring Wolves were indeed very clear about where the evolution materials were, carrying Qian Qi swiftly to the location of the Magic Plants.

Qian Qi looked back at the massive group of Magic Beasts following her, somewhat puzzled, "Why are they still following me?"

On top of Qian Ba’s head, a Little White Extreme Rat thought deeply and said, "They must have been impressed by my previous heroic stance, wanting to follow me—Ouch!"

Qian Qi punched it on the head, "Stop dreaming."

Since the Moon-devouring Wolves were not rejecting the follow of these Magic Beasts, it showed they weren’t malevolent, so Qian Qi wasn’t too concerned. The Moon-devouring Wolves then voluntarily helped her pick Swallow Nest Ice Jade Leaves and Moonlight Trifolium, and hunted for the Double Moon Carving, cutting out the Moon Core from their foreheads.

Finally, they returned with a load full.

"Okay, task complete, let’s head home!" Qian Qi tidied up her things, ready to find the other A-level knife and her broken grass mat she left behind in Glacier Valley, when the Little White Extreme Rat on Qian Ba’s head suddenly squeaked twice.

Upon hearing this, Qian Qi looked over to see the Little White Extreme Rat jump off Qian Ba’s head, stand up, gently press its little paw on the burlap bag, and looked at her with its bright red eyes, full of longing.

Despicable, utterly despicable! How can it threaten her with a burlap bag!

She didn’t want her last burlap bag to perish at the hands of the White Extreme Rat. Rather than let it tear it to shreds, she might as well gift it to the White Extreme Rat, so she reluctantly handed the burlap bag to the White Extreme Rat.

The White Extreme Rat let out a cheer, and from all directions appeared a bunch of White Extreme Rats, lifting Qian Qi up.

What? Are they going to make her work hard again?

The White Extreme Rats carried Qian Qi towards the depth of Glacier Valley, soon stopping in front of a mountain peak. Upon a command from the head White Extreme Rat, those carrying Qian Qi placed her down, lined up, and rushed into an inconspicuous rodent hole beside the snowy peak.

Before long, the White Extreme Rats emerged again. Some returned holding Magic Plant Fruits, some carried armor shed by Magic Beasts, and some carried things Qian Qi couldn’t recognize, all stuffing them into the burlap bag.

The head White Extreme Rat watched over them, occasionally jumping into the rodent crowd, landing punches on the heads of certain White Extreme Rats.

The beaten White Extreme Rats guiltily spat out the little treasures they were secretly hiding and ran off to continue transporting the head White Extreme Rat’s treasures.

After gathering almost all the treasures, the head White Extreme Rat burrowed into its own hole, emerged rolling the abandoned grass mat Qian Qi left behind, and halted before her, stepping on the grass mat to reveal it contained the previously abandoned A-level knife!

Qian Qi widened her eyes in surprise, turning to the White Extreme Rats, moved, "So I misunderstood you, you’re good mice!"

These White Extreme Rats are indeed suitable for digging underground tunnels and cultivating Concentration Fruits!

Isn’t there any chance she could sneak these White Extreme Rats away and bring them back to the Magic Plant Department as laborers?!

Black-hearted Boss·Qian Qi was already plotting how to trick the White Extreme Rats away, while the White Extreme Rat standing beside the burlap bag stared at Qian Qi, also planning how it could secretly follow her and leave.

Glacier Valley and Deserted Sand Island weren’t suitable habitats for them; the harsh climatic conditions affected their reproduction rate, and they lacked the magic plants that could significantly enhance their strength.

Long ago, when their weak ancestors accidentally arrived here, the White Extreme Rats continuously reproduced and, through countless survival lessons of elimination and death, finally learned the magic beasts’ language using the advantage of sound waves, gaining high-level magical beasts’ corpses meat and gradually growing stronger.

But the White Extreme Rats weren’t satisfied with this. As the leader, it had the responsibility to make the White Extreme Rat clan even stronger, so upon realizing the materials Qian Qi was searching for were all for the Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves’ evolution, it began to plan how to seduce this woman.

Now, it found her lost A-level knife and the mat with her "scent," together again; surely, this would captivate her?
