Chapter 278 - 275: Where Can She Hide?

Chapter 278: Chapter 275: Where Can She Hide?

These small mounds of earth were also growing larger bit by bit.

If you looked closely, you would see the sand converging and rising.

’So many sand monsters?’

There were at least several thousand of them.

Chen Xing simply got out, stored her car, and quietly watched the sand monsters approach.

When the sand monsters drew near, Chen Xing pulled a hose nozzle out of her space.

The moment she turned on the hose, she aimed at the small mounds and started spraying.

One by one, the mounds solidified. It didn’t even take much water; the small, grave-like mounds truly became just mounds of earth.

’This thing isn’t very deadly!’

’As long as there’s a Water Ability User around, they pose no threat at all!’

Putting the hose away, Chen Xing got back in her car and continued on her way.

Another hour passed, and more small mounds of earth appeared ahead.

But these mounds were different from the ones she had encountered before; they were all completely still.

When she got closer, she realized they had already been solidified.

Chen Xing looked around. ’It must have been a Water Ability User.’

’Those foreigners have already found this place.’

’It would be best if I could run into a group, especially a team with a Water Ability.’

The number of slots in her Jiezhi Space had grown to several dozen, but only two were currently occupied.

’As for the rest, who knows when I’ll be able to fill them up.’

Chen Xing slowed down her car, making it easier for those foreigners to find her.

Soon, Chen Xing noticed an earthen wall ahead.

It was over two meters tall and stretched on endlessly, with no end in sight.

Chen Xing had no choice but to get out of her car and inspect the situation at the wall.

An earthen wall appearing in the desert was clearly a deliberate trap.

She scanned her surroundings. Just as she was about to focus on a figure, the ground beneath her feet gave way. After struggling to regain her balance, she found herself trapped in an area surrounded by earthen walls.

There was no door in this place.

Anyone who didn’t know about special superpowers would think they’d encountered a paranormal event.

Chen Xing wasn’t in a hurry to use her Jiezhi Space to escape.

’To create such a massive earthen wall... it must be a Special Earth Attribute Superpower User.’

Earth Attribute Superpower Users could control anything related to earth and sand.

In the desert, they were basically kings.

They could shape the sand into any form they desired.

Soon, a petite woman phased through the earthen wall and into Chen Xing’s enclosure.

Sand swirled prettily in her hand.

"How about it, pretty lady? Why don’t you come with me quietly? Otherwise, you’ll be buried under here and never get out again!" she said in broken Huaxian. "Oh, right, did I forget to tell you? We’re more than twenty meters deep beneath the desert. Without me, there’s no way you’re getting out!"

"Who sent you?" Chen Xing asked, warily backing away.

But there was only an earthen wall behind her.

Where could she possibly hide?

The woman gave a haughty smile, then manipulated the sand in her hand into a snake-like form that shot toward Chen Xing, tightening around her neck. "Is that important?"

Chen Xing choked instantly.

The woman smugly retracted the sand. "Killing you would be effortless!" She clearly didn’t see Chen Xing as a threat.

"Even if I’m going to die, I should at least know who’s behind this, right? Perhaps you heard that I..." Chen Xing trailed off, deliberately dragging out her words.

"That’s right!" The woman took the bait. "I heard you have the ability to instantly shift through space. Is it because you have a piece of Jade in your possession?"

’Damn it!’

Chen Xing couldn’t believe it. Chen Dingbang and Xu Anguo’s wild guess had actually been mostly correct.

It really was because of her Green Gemstone Jewelry.

"Did the Xingguang Research Institute give you this information?"

"Just be a good girl and let me give you this shot. When the time is right, you’ll be told what you need to know!" As she spoke, the woman pulled a long needle from her pocket and walked toward Chen Xing.

She was certain Chen Xing had nowhere to run.

This place was under her control; no one could get in unless they were an Earth Attribute Superpower User.

"You’re a Special Earth Attribute Superpower User?"

The woman shrugged haughtily, the needle already aimed at Chen Xing. "That’s right!"

Because she was a Special Superpower User, she was put on a pedestal wherever she went.

"Oh! In that case, I won’t be polite!" Chen Xing extended her hand and yanked hard.

The Earth Attribute was forcefully sucked over to her.

The woman didn’t quite understand what was happening and tried to continue with the injection.

But suddenly, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out. Still holding the needle, she slowly collapsed.

Chen Xing hadn’t expected her superpower-absorbing ability to have improved again, allowing her to drain her opponent completely dry.

Previously, when she absorbed someone’s superpower, she could only use half of its strength. Now, she could absorb it completely and wield it with one hundred percent of its power.

Right now, she was controlling the sand and earth, making them rise.

"You... How did you do that?" the woman stared at Chen Xing in disbelief.

Although her superpower had been completely taken, she recognized the feeling and knew that the woman before her was now controlling the sand and earth just as she had moments ago.

"Thank you for the gift of an Earth Attribute superpower!" Chen Xing said plainly, since she had no intention of leaving the woman alive anyway.

When she was about ten meters from the surface, Chen Xing left the woman to the earthen prison.

The woman’s face turned pale with fear. She crawled around, searching for an exit, but the air was growing thin. She never would have imagined that she would die in the very death trap she had created.

Chen Xing instantly appeared on the surface.

At that moment, the long row of earthen walls collapsed.

"Something’s happened to Olisa!" one of the two men waiting on the other side of the wall shouted angrily upon seeing Chen Xing.

"How did you get out? Where’s Olisa?"

Chen Xing dusted the gray sand off her clothes.

’I should probably avoid using this Earth Attribute superpower. It’s too dirty.’

"I killed her!" she said, her tone like that of a Killing Demon, but her expression was harmless.

"What? You dared to kill Olisa?" A cloud of mist instantly formed above Oria’s head.

Within the mist, a pillar of water thrashed like a dragon, ready to surge forward and engulf the woman before him at any moment.

"She tried to kill me first!" Chen Xing didn’t rush to act. Instead, she scanned the area to confirm there were no other Superpower Users around before turning her gaze to Oria.

"I’m going to kill you to avenge Olisa!" Oria’s eyes were bloodshot.

Olisa was his only family in this world, and just like that, in the blink of an eye, she was dead.

Killing Chen Xing a thousand times over wouldn’t be enough to quell the rage in his heart.

Chen Xing tilted her head back, smiled, and asked, "Are you a Special Water Attribute Superpower User?" ’Could this be any more perfect?’

’Ever since I gained the ability to absorb superpowers, have Special Superpower Users started showing up for free?’

"So you know how powerful I am? Too bad it’s too late! You killed Olisa, so now there’s only one path for you—death!" Oria furiously gathered his superpower.

Seeing that Oria was about to defy their orders, the other man stopped him with an arm. "We need to keep her alive!"

As he spoke, a needle tipped with a hallucinogen flew from his hand toward Chen Xing.
