Chapter 283: Some Strength, But Not Much



While laughing, he made rustling sounds and stared at her, looking ferocious and terrifying.

"Hahaha……"

Xie Purou looked at the crazy man and felt disgusted.

She first tentatively let the vine reach over, and then decisively swung the thorny vine over him.

"Hahahahahaha... You're actually a psychic, but it's a pity that you're a wood-type psychic."

He had killed too many people, and his overly inflated self-confidence made him completely unaware that he could not see through Xie Pu Rou's level of supernatural powers at all.

"What a coincidence! I have fire-related abilities." He smiled grimly, full of pride, and slowly gathered flames in his palms, directly melting her vines.

"Hahaha, the meat of people with superpowers is the most delicious!" He opened his arms and looked at her with satisfaction.

"Really? That might not go as you wish." As she finished speaking, she casually raised her hand to block the fireball that was flying towards her head.

With another turn of his wrist, frost instantly condensed between his fingers, freezing his entire arm into a popsicle.

"How is that possible? You are a wood-type mutant, so why do you have ice-type abilities?" His expression froze.

Xie Pu Rou looked at him with amusement: "Who told you that I'm a wood-type mutant?" Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

He pounced on her, ready to tear her apart and devour her.

Anger replaced his rationality, and he forgot that his hand was frozen. He reacted immediately and mobilized the fire ability in his body to thaw it.

Some strength, but not much.

Xie Pu Rou slapped him mercilessly and froze both of his legs.

Want to break free from her ice? There's a one in ten thousand chance that she'll awaken her powers in the womb in her next life.

She ignored him after he froze her, and took a detour to avoid seeing the bloody mess on the ground, and went to check the injuries of the girl who asked her to run.

They didn't look hurt, and even their hands and feet weren't tied.

"Are you... okay?" Why didn't you run away if you weren't tied up?

The girls' eyes were full of fear, like a frightened deer that finally found its backbone. Regardless of the fact that they were soaked all over, they threw themselves on Xie Pu Rou and cried.

One of them rushed over and cried, and the remaining two followed suit and cried together, as if they wanted to let out all their grievances and fears with their tears.

Xie Purou was stunned. The system's protective shield wouldn't exclude humans who meant her no harm. Unsure of what to do, she held her outstretched hand suspended in mid-air for a long moment before it landed on the girls and patted them.

He said softly, "It's okay, it's okay."

He was still coaxing her soothingly while speaking.

These girls are only in their teens, but they have become like this because of the end of the world. A feeling of sadness wells up in my heart.

They just held her and sobbed, as if they would disappear if they let go.

Xie Pu Rou had no choice but to let them hug her tightly, letting her tears slide down with the rain and drip onto her dry clothes, making them wet in a short while.

It was unknown how long it took before they gradually stopped sobbing, but they still held Xie Pu Rou and refused to let go, as if if they let go this time they would never see their savior again.

"Thank you for saving us." A slightly older girl said with a sob, "My name is Chu En, and these are my two younger sisters, Chu Ci and Chu Zi." She took the other two girls and introduced them.

Chu En looked at the corpse in the distance with a sad expression: "The one who was eaten was our father." She wiped away her tears, her eyes were swollen and her eye sockets were red, she looked very pitiful.

When Chu Ci and Chu Zi heard their sister mention their father, tears welled up in their eyes again.

Xie Purou couldn't stand this kind of scene and asked hurriedly, "Why don't you run away?"

"That bad guy has fire-type abilities, and we are just ordinary people. Dad is in his hands, and we don't know where to go even if we want to run." Chu En choked up as he spoke.

No father will turn around and run when his child is in danger, and the same goes for the other side. No one will abandon their father and live alone when their father is in danger.

Besides, the world is so big, where can they go without their father?

"How old are you?" Xie Purou asked Chu En, the eldest.

Chu En didn't understand why she asked about her age, so he answered obediently, "I'm seventeen."

Xie Pu Rou sighed in her heart. At the age of seventeen, she was still a minor. Her two younger sisters were even younger. You couldn't expect such young children to do anything to save themselves in difficult situations.

"What are your plans for the future?" Xie Pu Rou asked the group of girls.

"I don't know..." Chu En shook his head and murmured softly, "Mom is gone too, and our home is gone."

Xie Purou was deeply touched. It turned out that this was what it felt like to be displaced and have one's family broken up by a disaster.

It's impossible to say that she had no compassion. These children were all very good-natured and wanted to remind her to leave quickly.

She sighed deeply: "Forget it." She just needed an assistant. Chu En was a little young, but he would be enough.

But it's not good to watch your father die at such a young age.

Having made up her mind about their destination, she asked them, "He is not dead yet. Are you going to punish the evildoers who killed your father?"

The two younger sisters looked at Xie Purou timidly: "We don't dare. We can't beat him."

Instead, Chu En stood up and said to her, "I'll do it."

"You?" Xie Purou rolled her eyes and looked at Chu En with relief in her eyes. Her previous thought was not wrong.

"I'm not afraid of death. He killed my father and must pay with his life!" Chu En said firmly, gritting his teeth.

When Chu En was fifteen or sixteen, her mother died in the apocalypse, and the three sisters lived with their father. Their father was also a supernatural being, and he loved them very much. He tricked them into running away separately and then stopped the bad guy, who killed him.

With such sacrifices, as an elder sister, how could she not kill her enemies if she had the chance?

Xie Purou looked at her for a moment and said, "He's right over there. Go and kill him. I'll dig a grave for you to bury your father."

She didn't tell them that she had frozen the limbs of the man who killed their father, just to test their courage.

Seeing the three sisters supporting each other and heading straight towards her, the test was over.

He has courage and hatred, but he is not a child spoiled by his father and becomes lawless.

While they were walking a few steps, Xie Pu Rou summoned the vines again and dug a big hole in a few strokes.

She took a few steps forward to check the depth of the pit and accidentally saw the white bones hidden in the grass.
