Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Bide Your Time Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Bide Your Time But for now, they had no other choice but to take one step at a time.
If anything, they just needed to gather more mushrooms and wild vegetables that could be dried and stored along the way.
Just as everyone was sighing in distress, a dirty little hand reached out in front of Madam Liu.
Madam Liu looked closely and saw it was Bai Junjun.
Bai Junjun gazed at her sincerely, “Sister-in-law Liu, may I have these grains of coarse rice?”
Though these three grains wouldn’t make much of a meal, seeing the girl’s eager face, Madam Liu softly placed the coarse rice into her palm.
Bai Junjun glanced at the coarse rice lying in her palm, and her eyes curved into crescents.
Once her Special Ability recovered, she could cultivate these seeds; then, they wouldn’t have to worry about running out of rice.
Speaking of Special Abilities, just yesterday, killing four people had caused her body to overextend to the point of fainting, which was extremely dangerous.
If there had been more enemies yesterday, she feared that she and her siblings might have become someone else’s meal.
Bai Junjun unconsciously furrowed her brow; she was excessively weak now and must rapidly grow stronger. Otherwise, not to mention protecting herself, she couldn’t even manage to produce food.
But when it came to enhancing Special Abilities, although she could transform the Spirit of Flora into her own energy, it was akin to a fuel armored vehicle.
If the fuel pipe was as large as a black hole, it could fill the tank in a second; but if the pipe was as thin as a syringe needle, it would take a very, very long time to fill the tank.
And now, she was like a syringe facing a large oil drum, and filling that drum would take ages.
Thus, when everyone set off again, Bai Sasa asked her to rest back on the cart, and Bai Junjun did not refuse.
Now was indeed not the time to be particular; she needed to enhance her abilities quickly and provide the group with additional security in this chaotic world.
Bai Junjun lay back on the cart, and Bai Lingyu thoughtfully folded a bunch of branches to shade her elder sister from the sun.
For those branches, Bai Junjun was extremely grateful.
She directly covered her face with them and closed her eyes, boldly plunging her consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. To outsiders, it simply looked as though she was sleeping.
Bai Junjun’s consciousness probed into the Qi Sea, where she saw a tiny green light the size of a sesame seed, currently very crinkled and fragile.
In her previous life, her Special Ability had grown into a small glowing green tree, but now it hadn’t even sprouted yet.
She was feeling quite anxious and irritated when suddenly, a cool sensation touched her cheeks.
She sensitively felt around, and it was the energy of the plants from the branches covering her face, seeping through her capillaries.
Bai Junjun was delighted.
This was the convenience of being in an unbeatable charging station!
In the past, transforming energy required finding nearly extinct mutated plants, but now, plants were everywhere she looked.
Bai Junjun slowly pushed this plant energy towards the Qi Sea. Bit by bit, as the energy of the plants meandered and converged in the Qi Sea, the sesame-sized grain became slightly more substantial.
And so, Bai Junjun patiently nurtured the Spirit of Flora within her body.
However, the strength of Special Abilities and the speed of energy transformation were interdependent; her weak Ability made the transformation exceedingly slow.
Bai Junjun lay motionless on the cart for the entire afternoon, and with no one to chat with Old Uncle Qiu, the afternoon journey was much quieter.
Old Uncle Qiu inexplicably hoped that Bai Junjun would wake up soon so that he could have something to distract himself.
Otherwise, continually moving was even getting to him.
Regrettably, the girl had been sleeping the whole afternoon until they reached their destination at Green Pool, where Bai Junjun slowly opened her eyes.
