Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Nie Yizhou was stunned for a moment.

He felt that Yun Xiaoxiao’s words made sense.

But...

He worriedly glanced toward the sea.

There were many terrifying mutated sea creatures in there!

If the giant creature, with its poor combat ability, encountered them, it would be disastrous!

Seemingly noticing Nie Yizhou’s concern, Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled softly.

“Although we can’t go into the sea, we can lure the things in the sea up to the surface.”

Nie Yizhou’s expression froze for a moment, then he slapped his thigh.

“Right! Why didn’t I think of that?”

He immediately became energized.

If they made enough noise, the mutated creatures in the surrounding waters would gather toward them.

Wouldn’t that make the giant creature much safer?

Thinking of this, he excitedly ran to a spot on the beach a little farther from where the giant creature had jumped into the sea and launched a fierce attack on the water.

*Boom!*

A huge splash erupted on the water’s surface.

He stared intently.

But after a while, there was still no movement in the nearby waters.

He frowned.

Why wasn’t it working?

“Are ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍you stupid? Why would those things come over like this?”

Xiao Feng walked up behind him and rolled his eyes.

Nie Yizhou wasn’t in the mood to argue and asked directly, “What do you mean? Why aren’t they coming?”

“If you were those fish, would you go to a place with danger? You just threw a bunch of dirt into the water and made such a ruckus. Of course, they wouldn’t come. They’d run away as fast as they could.”

Nie Yizhou: “...”

Well... that made sense.

He had been too impatient and hadn’t thought it through.

“Then what should we do?” he asked, frowning.

Yun Xiaoxiao stepped forward and took out a chicken she had prepared earlier.

Nie Yizhou immediately understood her intention.

He grabbed the chicken and pulled out a knife.

Blood flowed into the water, and the scent of blood spread through the air.

Sure enough, after a while, ripples began to form on the surface of the sea not far away.

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled. “They’re coming.”

Everyone immediately went on high alert.

Yun Xiaoxiao said to Lu Chen and the others, “You stay here and guard this area. I’ll go down and take a look.”

Lu Chen frowned. “I’ll go with you.”

He knew Yun Xiaoxiao had many strange abilities, but he was still worried.

Such a dangerous task should be his responsibility.

Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile. “Big brother, you have a more important task. I need you to protect my physical body.”

The depths of the sea were dangerous.

The more people who went, the bigger the target they would become.

She could separate her soul from her body and enter the sea in her soul form.

As a soul, she would be invisible and undetectable to the mutated sea creatures.

However, this meant her physical body would be left vulnerable on the shore.

If her body were harmed, her soul would also suffer damage.

Therefore, protecting her body was crucial.

“Then I’ll go with you,” Ling Jing said.

Yun Xiaoxiao still refused.

“You should stay on the shore. If that ‘thing’ appears, you’ll need to deal with it together.”

The reason she had Nie Yizhou create a big commotion was not only to draw attention away from the giant creature but also to see if they could lure out the entity responsible for the fog and the barrier.

At the moment, they didn’t know what it was.

Was it a mutated fish? A mutated sea plant? Or something else entirely?

Would it come to the surface and attack them directly, or would it hide in the sea and slowly wear them down with underhanded tactics?

Therefore, they had to consider and prepare for multiple possibilities.

She would leave Lu Chen and the others on the shore while she went into the sea.

Only by identifying the true threat could they take appropriate measures.

After briefly explaining her plan, Lu Chen and the others reluctantly agreed.

They urged her to be careful, not to act impulsively, and to return immediately if she encountered danger so they could figure out a solution together.

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed before sitting down on the ground to begin separating her soul from her body.

Bai Hongting, who was standing nearby, seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent.

He sighed and walked over to Nie Yizhou and the others.

By now, many terrifying mutated fish had gathered on the sea’s surface.

Everyone was fully focused on the battle.

The sounds of fighting and the scent of blood grew stronger.

Meanwhile...

In her soul form, Yun Xiaoxiao descended vertically, diving deeper and deeper into the sea.

As she went down, she kept an eye on her surroundings.

The deeper she went, the colder the water became.

The light also grew dimmer...

Although she was in her soul form, she could still sense the changes in temperature, though they were less intense.

At first, there were some strange-looking mutated fish with sharp teeth swimming around her.

But soon, all that remained was the chilly seawater.

After what felt like a long time, her feet finally touched something solid.

She knew she had reached the bottom.

Her eyes adjusted to the dim light, and though it was dark, she could vaguely make out her surroundings.

There were a few rocks and some floating seaweed.

Nothing particularly unusual.

So, she continued to explore the area.

Time passed slowly.

She was patient, not giving up just because she hadn’t found anything yet, and continued her search methodically.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in her vision.

A light in the pitch-black depths of the sea was unusual in itself!

What’s more, she could clearly see that the ripples of water illuminated by the light were strange and unnatural.

How to describe it...

Imagine a line. While other water ripples were straight, the ripples near the light were dotted, as if they had been forcibly segmented into multiple parts.

A flash of excitement crossed Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

Perhaps she had found what she was looking for!

She quickly swam toward the light.

Being in her soul form had its advantages.

She could move freely through the water without worrying about drowning or being hindered by the currents.

The closer she got, the more cautious she became.

She was prepared for an attack at any moment.

But strangely, even when she was only about fifty meters away, she encountered no danger.

Yun Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was it because she was in her soul form that the entity ignored her and didn’t attack?

With this thought, she cautiously moved closer, ready to retreat into her space at the first sign of danger.

Yes, even in her soul form, she could still enter her space freely.

This added an extra layer of protection.

It was also why she dared to venture down alone.

The closer she got to the light, the more intense her sensations became.

She was surprised to find that the closer she was to the beam, the faster the energy within her body circulated.

The barrier at the peak of the eighth level, which she had been unable to break through, seemed to be loosening.

Her eyes widened in shock.

Could being near this light help her improve her strength?
