Chapter 204: Don’t Judge a Bear by Its Appearance
Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Don’t Judge a Bear by Its Appearance
"You really are..." Caicai drifted on the kelp, looked at Xiong Yan Yu, and clicked his tongue. "Seems like the bear can’t be judged by its appearance."
If it weren’t for Peng Qin’s group only knowing about the issue with the Insect Clan and being unaware of the true nature of the Terminal.
Just this idea.
Xiao Jinsheng even suspected that he came up with it deliberately to irritate the Terminal.
However, given the current situation, it seemed the Terminal wouldn’t care.
But even if the Terminal didn’t care, Xiao Jinsheng cared.
Who knows where the Terminal might be scheming something nasty again.
Anything belonging to the Terminal, Xiao Jinsheng wouldn’t dare use.
She had Purification Tree seedlings in her Space.
Taking advantage of the Terminal Space not yet malfunctioning, she had planted them well, already transplanting the seedlings with purification abilities.
"The Mist East is no longer safe; it’s not suitable for a long stay. Since we need to leave, we must move quickly," Xiao Jinsheng reminded.
"As for the Purification Tree, I have extras here that I can share with you," Xiao Jinsheng said.
"That won’t do." Peng Qin disagreed and spoke up, "If Mist West can be a refuge from the Insect Clan, then the Purification Tree is a lifesaving treasure."
"Since we can’t obtain the Resistance Bracelet through the Star Map Task, I do indeed lack Purification Trees right now."
"But what’s yours is yours. If you’re willing to share, I can purchase them with Star Stones, or you can see if there’s anything else I have that you might find appealing," Peng Qin said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinsheng felt a warmth in her heart.
If she didn’t dwell on the memories Peng Qin had forgotten.
But in the memories Peng Qin still remembered, Xiao Jinsheng had only encountered two females on the Mist Continent whom she had met and interacted with.
Peng Qin had shown her goodwill upon their first meeting.
And Ming Huaxin bonded with her due to their shared enemy in Bai Yan, forming a tacit connection.
Both of them were good people.
At least, regardless of whether it was Peng Qin now.
Or Ming Huaxin a few days ago, neither had betrayed Xiao Jinsheng’s proactive kindness.
Thinking of Ming Huaxin, Xiao Jinsheng felt a pang of guilt but didn’t regret her earlier decision to read Ming Huaxin’s mind and detect her intent to kill.
Even if the Terminal had issued rules prohibiting survivors from infighting.
As long as she didn’t take action herself, with Caicai there, with the Cannibal Flower there.
Borrowing others to kill, borrowing organizations to kill, borrowing creatures to kill...
Without the Insect Brain’s enhancement or Bai Yan’s ability to revive, any targeted ambush aimed at killing them would be far easier than killing Bai Yan.
This was the harsh reality.
Call her despicable, call her shameless.
The environment of the Apocalypse World inevitably changes people.
Under the apocalypse, she still wanted to help others.
But the premise of helping others was not putting herself and those she cared about in danger.
The true nature of the Terminal must be exposed.
Otherwise, under the Insect Clan’s invasion, humanity, desperate for survival, would strive endlessly to boost their Superpower Levels.
Only to discover, upon reaching the known Twelve Stars under the Insect Clan’s siege, that they had landed on Terminal’s dinner plate instead.
Going from the tiger’s mouth straight into the wolf’s jaws.
The survival pathway fought for with all their might leads only to deeper despair.
That would only satisfy the Terminal’s desires, conveniently providing it with a feast.
Xiao Jinsheng had the premonition, nearly confirmed by her guesses.
With her circumstances, even after reaching 12 Stars, the Terminal would not act against her.
Because she had already been sentenced to death.
Equally, her emotions had not met the threshold.
Apart from being sentenced to death and her emotions failing to meet the Terminal’s criteria, considering her unique physique, Xiao Jinsheng had another conjecture...
But now wasn’t the time to dwell on these thoughts.
She opened her Star Map friends list with Ming Huaxin.
Xiao Jinsheng believed herself to have obtained more detailed information than anyone else on the Mist Continent.
But before she was strong enough, aiding others required her to ensure the person was entirely trustworthy.
At least for now.
Among the females she knew, Peng Qin and Ming Huaxin had passed her initial screening.
She didn’t want to save someone like Bai Yan again.
In the apocalypse, eliminate the Holy Mother first.
Xiao Jinsheng somewhat admired such people; it was a positive sentiment. Holy Mothers were indeed people with great love, possessing courage and decisiveness far beyond the norm.
But she saw herself as the malicious supporting character, incapable of great love and selflessness.
She only wanted those she cared about and loved to live well.
At that moment, Xiao Jinsheng found herself with a new perspective on the scenario set by Insect Brain 1.0.
The malicious supporting character...
The role indeed wasn’t misplaced when applied to her.
Soon, Ming Huaxin replied.
She sent a furry shocked emoji.
Ming Huaxin: Why are you suddenly heading to Mist West? The Insect Clan is hard enough to kill; we can’t just go seeking death."
Ming Huaxin: Hang on a little longer, and we’ll definitely find a way to deal with the Insect Clan."
Xiao Jinsheng: I’ll come to you. Let’s talk in person."
Seeing this, Ming Huaxin refrained from questioning further on Star Map.
Since discovering from Xiao Jinsheng that the Terminal was malevolent.
In these recent nights, Ming Huaxin had been dreaming constantly of the Terminal.
She had never seen the Terminal.
The Terminal in her dreams took on her most feared Fog Corpse form.
Even imagining it seated elegantly at the dining table, surrounded by fine crockery, wearing a napkin, sipping blood juice extracted from Beastman Star Stones.
Even recalling these dreams now, Ming Huaxin felt like she was losing her mind.
But her trust in the Terminal had plummeted further and further inwardly. noveldrama
At the moment, she also understood Xiao Jinsheng’s concerns.
The Star Map was not a suitable place to discuss Terminal-related matters.
Ming Huaxin: I’ll find you instead. My place is rife with Insect Clan; your journey here wouldn’t be safe."
Xiao Jinsheng: No problem, traveling is my specialty."
Ming Huaxin: !!! You teleport?"
Xiao Jinsheng: How did you know I could teleport?"
Initially just a joke.
But when Ming Huaxin exited the Star Map and turned around, she was face-to-face with Xiao Jinsheng’s mischievous, smiling face moving closer.
Startled, she leaped half a meter into the air. "Good heavens, you really can teleport."
"Star Map isn’t suitable for chatting; I’ve blocked the Terminal. We can safely discuss the current situation," Xiao Jinsheng said with a smile.
At the same time, she reached out to slap away Li’s hand from her waist.
Because Peng Qin’s group was present, this time the teleportation power from Li brought only Xiao Jinsheng and Li.
Along with the superpowered, overclocked Chen Yunji.
Worried about her Beast Husband’s safety in Moon City, Xiao Jinsheng prioritized efficiency right now.
After learning from Xiao Jinsheng that the poisonous fog in Mist West could repel the Insect Clan, and the Purification Trees provided by the Terminal could guard against the fog, Ming Huaxin was still a bit stunned.
If the Terminal was asking them to plant trees, why not just let them bring the Purification Trees to hide in Mist West?
After the shock of Terminal being malevolent.
Her capacity to accept new reasoning had increased drastically.
Looking at the twenty or so corpses of Five-Star Insect Clan scattered across the ground, Ming Huaxin’s expression turned bleak.
The average strength of her Beast Husband group had reached 6 Stars.
Beast Husband Yi Le was even at Superpower Level Nine Stars.
Yet in the recent battle against the Insect Clan, even with higher star levels, defeating same-level Fog Corpses and Mutant Beasts wasn’t as easy.
Ming Huaxin wasn’t sure if this was due to their lack of experience in battling the Insect Clan.
Or if, being invaders from the Interstellar World, the Insect Clan inherently possessed greater strength than them.
But the terror of the Insect Clan, they had already experienced firsthand.
Now that a refuge where they could temporarily escape the Insect Clan and gain more breathing room existed, Ming Huaxin naturally wouldn’t hesitate too long.
