Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Bizarre Eldest Sister Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Bizarre Eldest Sister Bai Ren naturally placed the wild fruits in his hands before them.
In the firelight, a bunch of grape-like dark red fruits was particularly eye-catching. Bai Sasa looked at them but couldn’t help shaking her head in panic, “Eldest sister, those are Mulberry Fruits. Eating them will cause vomiting and diarrhea.”
“?” Bai Ren was puzzled.
The Little One nearby nodded repeatedly, “We saw plenty on the road, but even when starving, no one dared to eat them.”
Bai Ren awkwardly glanced at the wild fruits in her hand, thinking they were the legendary wild grapes.
Since they were not, she casually tossed that bunch of wild fruits away and pulled out several round red fruits from her bosom.
She had seen in books left in the past that Cherry Tomatoes could be eaten, right?
Who knew Bai Sasa would still shake her head, “These are called Coral Cherries. They can cause dizziness, nausea, and even render someone unconscious.”
Bai Ren, not willing to give up, took out the last few green fruits from her pocket: “Wild pears, these must be edible, right?”
“Those are called Leprosy Fruits. They create hallucinations and then you die if you eat them,” Bai Sasa weakly replied.
Turns out all the fruits she had found were poisonous.
Bai Lingyu carefully explained, “Eldest sister, many refugees pass through the jungle every day. In this area, anything edible has been picked clean long ago, only the poisonous ones are left.”
Seeing Bai Junjun’s face getting darker, Bai Sasa hurried to console her.
“If you want to eat wild fruits, we’ll look for them as soon as it gets light. We’ll surely find some.”
“…” Bai Ren, she, the mighty Apocalypse boss, was actually being consoled by two little kids.
So, the three siblings temporarily made their home in this deep and ancient forest, with refugees occasionally passing by in the last few days.
In order not to be caught like two-legged sheep, Bai Ren had to lead them deeper into the mountain.
Although this place was rarely visited by humans, snakes, insects, rats, and ants were noticeably more abundant. They also occasionally found some wild vegetables and fruits that were edible. Overall, the past few days were the most comfortable since they began fleeing.
Bai Ren, no, now she should be called Bai Junjun, had absorbed “nature’s spiritual energy” during these days. Her Wood-series Ability finally awakened, and she finally had the confidence that a person from the Apocalypse should have. At least now, when she saw withered and skinny vegetables, she could do something about it.
Like right now, as Bai Junjun looked at the colorful mushrooms in front of her,
Her finger touched the ground, and in her mind, she urged her Special Ability. The bright mushrooms grew rapidly, as if losing the concept of time, and instantly expanded with a pop.
Until they were as large as palms, Bai Junjun finally stopped and turned to call the two little kids who were picking mushrooms at the other side.
“Stop what you’re doing, is this pile enough to eat?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Sasa turned her head and almost fainted. In front of the eldest sister was a pile of palm-sized poisonous mushrooms emitting dazzling light.
“Don’t pick those, elder sister, the mushrooms are poisonous.”
Bai Junjun blinked and sheepishly retracted her already extended claws.
Bai Sasa sighed like an adult, pulling her eldest sister to one side.
She was no longer surprised that her eldest sister couldn’t tell grains apart.
After all, she was a Noble Lady. Even in times of fleeing, she never had to forage, so naturally she couldn’t distinguish what was poisonous and what wasn’t.
But strangely, everything the eldest sister found was unusually large, something they never came across.
Lingyu secretly mumbled that it was because the eldest sister was a Celestial Maiden descended to earth, and therefore especially lucky.
Although the reason was far-fetched, Bai Sasa felt… it must be right.
For instance, now, they hadn’t noticed this large patch of poisonous mushrooms, yet the eldest sister had found them. Mustn’t this be considered a unique talent?
