Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower

The two kids secretly hoped that if... their eldest sister found only non-poisonous mushrooms, that would be even better.

None of them noticed anything unusual about Bai Junjun, assuming she was just naturally lucky.

Bai Junjun offered no explanation and let the two children misunderstand.

At that moment, Bai Lingyu, frightened by the poisonous mushrooms Bai Junjun had discovered, smartly waved her over.

"Eldest sister, come and pick mushrooms with me," she said.

Speaking of which, over the past few days, the two children had gained a new appreciation for Bai Junjun.

Although their eldest sister was a bit fierce and cold, she was still very good to them.

Moreover, as the foremost Noble Lady, she had never lost at the archery game during banquets, and now her throwing skills were also impressive. Whether it was flying in the air or swimming in water, she hit her target every time.

If it wasn't for their eldest sister, they would have starved to death by now; therefore, in their eyes, aside from being unable to distinguish poisonous fruits, she was very capable in every other aspect!

When Bai Junjun reached Bai Lingyu's side, the child handed over the thumb-sized white mushrooms he had collected: "In the forest, the more vivid something looks, the more poisonous and untouchable it is. These ones are safe."

"..." Bai Junjun.

Her Wood-series Ability to not discern whether plants are poisonous or edible was truly embarrassing.

However, she couldn't be blamed for that.

To ordinary people, these things were indeed poisonous, but to her, whether they were poisonous or not made no difference as she simply couldn't be poisoned.

But Bai Junjun didn't say much and humbly accepted Bai Lingyu's re-education, after all, she had to share meals with the two children.

She was alright, but she still had to consider the two youngsters.

However, in the time that followed, she found no opportunity to spur the growth of non-poisonous mushrooms like she had before.

Bai Lingyu, fearing Bai Junjun would touch something poisonous again, followed her like Xiao Tail.

Bai Junjun wanted to use her Golden Finger but couldn't, resigning herself to picking the sparse mushrooms on the ground, bottom in the air.

Since not many people came this way, there were still plenty of mushrooms. In no time, the three siblings gathered a big handful, and they happily made their way home.

In the past two days, they had caught everything from frogs, wild chickens, to fish, and vegetables and wild fruits were plentiful; these days were the most comfortable they had had since their escape.

Of course, that was also because Bai Junjun deliberately slowed down the pace.

Spending time in the forest mainly served to wait for her Special Ability to grow stronger.

At the moment, other than being able to accelerate the growth of plants, she couldn't control much else.

If it were peacetime, she could simply clear land and farm without fear of starvation.

But now, in these times of war, one could be eaten at any moment, or captured to serve as a human shield, so she had to make herself stronger first.

Bai Junjun was contemplating this when she suddenly heard the sound of delicate footsteps behind her—sounding like a number of people had entered the forest.

In such times of chaos, the weak like them were easy targets for others to prey on like two-legged sheep.

Bai Junjun silently picked up Bai Lingyu and gestured for Bai Sasa to follow; the three of them silently hid in the deeper underbrush to secretly observe.

No sooner had they left, a group of beggar-like old people and women appeared where they had been just moments before.

These people focused solely on the ground and the bushes as they moved forward, taking mushrooms, wild vegetables, wild fruits... anything that could fill their stomachs was picked clean.

This was clearly a Refugee group, but unlike the one she'd encountered before, many of the women here were pregnant.

Yet, in such war-torn times, how could there be pregnant women!
