Chapter 170 Space

This feeling wasn't unique to her; many people experienced it, and more importantly, many people saw a significant improvement in their physical condition.

Many people in the chat channel were discussing this matter. When Lin Xia saw it, she was stunned. Could it be because the timeline had been filled in?

If she can't figure it out, she shouldn't think about it. In any case, this is a good thing. As long as she continues to do the missions and obtains more and more 'Time Amber', one day she will know more about the truth.

Because Lin Xia could always conjure up islands, more and more people gathered on Dongcheng Island, hoping that one day it would be their turn to land on the island.

Over time, the surrounding area became a gathering place, forming many trading markets, but the safest market was, of course, on the island.

The world seemed to have stabilized; food and clothing became more plentiful, and the closer one got to Dongcheng Island, the fewer serious incidents occurred.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ocean system's voice came again.

The appearance of land has made everyone's lives more stable. To increase happiness, the system has introduced an island owner competition system, where the winner will receive a small island.

To ensure fairness, participants for this mission must be people who have never logged into the island in this game before.

This is a personal task. You must not seek help from anyone or disclose the details of the task; otherwise, you will be considered to have forfeited your participation.

The world, which was originally peaceful, has become noisy and chaotic again because of this mission, which is too obviously targeted.

Those who have never set foot on the island are either people who live very far from Dongcheng Island, or people who have never had any interaction with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia ignored the commotion on the world channel and didn't reply to private messages. Everyone has to walk their own path. No one can save everyone. Who can know what the people who get the island will do, or what path they will choose?

There's really no need to micromanage everything; everything has its own natural order.

As long as she remains invincible, justice is on her side; strength is justice.

Not long after the system sent out the message, people began to leave the vicinity of Dongcheng Island one after another, and as the night deepened, the sea began to churn.

In the middle of the night, Lin Xia opened her eyes and went to the backyard. Seeing the churning seawater, she spread her mental energy and saw swarms of mutated fish rising to the surface. She took out a megaphone: "Everyone! Mutated fish are attacking! Prepare for battle!"

The sound rang out in the quiet night, and almost everyone opened their eyes, grabbed their weapons, and went on high alert.

The people on the island got up, boarded buses, and rushed to the seaside. Xie Cheng's men quickly assembled and remained stationed at the border, establishing a defensive line—quickly and efficiently.

Xie Cheng commanded the battle from the center, A Tong led a group to handle medical rescue, Lazy Cat led the earth and metal element people to run around, strengthening and repairing the defensive fortifications, and Ji Wei put out fires everywhere, going to provide support wherever there was danger.

Those on the island who were not capable of fighting gathered in the center to cook and transport supplies, keeping the entire island in good order.

When the mutated fishmen landed, everyone was extremely surprised. This time, the mutated fishmen's bodies had grown to the size of a basketball, and their mouths stretched from left to right, as if their entire faces were covered in mouths. When they opened their mouths, they revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth, which sent chills down people's spines.

The fins disappeared, and two thick hind legs grew on either side of the tail. With a push of the legs, it could leap a great distance and bite a person, tearing off a piece of flesh in an instant.

At first, people were in a flurry of activity and it took them a while to adjust. Their formation was disrupted, but fortunately, with the metal and earth elemental defensive fortifications, order was quickly restored.

Lin Xia went directly into the sea from the cave. There were large creatures in the sea attacking the protective shield, trying to get closer to the energy mine.

As Lin Xia sank to the bottom of the sea, the shockwave generated by his mental roar spread outwards, causing small mutated fish to scatter in all directions.

As Lin Xia ventured deeper into the sea, she saw a mutated whale-like behemoth, almost half the size of Dongcheng Island, relentlessly ramming against the protective shield. Had she not been constantly replenishing the shield's energy, it would likely have been shattered after a few more impacts.

As soon as Lin Xia stepped out of the protective shield, the giant fish tail swung out, and Lin Xia lunged forward. With a thought, the water surged, and the mutated fish that hadn't escaped far were swept away. The giant whale seemed unaffected, and with its mouth wide open, it swallowed Lin Xia whole.

Unaffected by water resistance, Lin Xia's figure quickly rose upwards, and with a push of her feet, she retreated rapidly.

The surging water flow suddenly stopped for a moment, and countless water molecules gathered into sharp arrows, which shot towards the giant whale in an instant, their surfaces shimmering with golden light.

'Pfft pfft...'

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out. The giant whale was riddled with bullets, and the madness in its eyes froze instantly. After charging forward for a while, its body slowed down.

Lin Xia waved his hand and put the corpse into his spatial storage. Such a large piece of flesh, if it fell into the sea, how many mutated fish would it cultivate?

She turned around and looked at the giant sea turtle and giant squid that had just arrived. The ice arrow had just been formed when the sea turtle and squid turned and ran away.

Lin Xia soared into the sky atop a mutated fish, her spiritual power roaring in all directions. The mutated fish slowed its pace, turned around, and retreated from the island at an even faster speed.

The entire sea returned to silence at an extremely fast pace. After the silence, cries and screams rang out. Lin Xia had only been delayed for a short while when many people were injured, especially on the ship, where the number of casualties was high.

She couldn't control what happened elsewhere, but she still had to protect her territory. Was that all? Lin Xia felt there must be more to come. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy for the system to pull off such a stunt?

After that, Ah Tong was the busiest, because there weren't many injured people on the island, so she led a team to start a free clinic on a medium-sized island.

After all, the process of healing others is also a process of mastering one's own superpowers, and everyone is very proactive.

Lin Xia then took out the [Superpower Experience Card] and [Spatial Superpower Awakening Card] that she had won in the lottery.

Use them simultaneously!

Lin Xia's spiritual power entered a wondrous world. She saw a blurry figure, and whether it was her imagination or not, she felt as if the person had turned their head and glanced at her.

She was fighting, facing a pitch-black monster that Lin Xia couldn't see clearly. The figure of the woman she was following kept flashing by, and Lin Xia felt the fluctuations in space as she passed through layer after layer of space.

But the woman was moving too fast, and Lin Xia's senses became somewhat blurred.

Suddenly, the woman reached out her hand, and Lin Xia felt an invisible barrier pressing down on him from all directions, leaving no gaps.

The dark figure roared, its body instantly expanding as it struggled against the compressed space. The woman flicked her finger, causing the space to disperse. Taking advantage of the dark figure's momentary instability, a slash suddenly appeared beside it.

No matter how it tried to dodge, it still lost an arm.

The sense of spatial compression returned, layering upon layer around the shadowy figure, which roared, ran, and fought within the space as if insane.

The woman clenched her fist, causing the space to shrink and, in that instant, crush the dark figure.

"Let's go back." A light, melodious voice rang out, and Lin Xia's eyes snapped open.
