Chapter 063 Energy Stone
Rumble—the heaven and earth shook, and the core of the abnormal area emitted a brilliant light, which was a precursor to an explosion.
The man who was derived from the anomaly suddenly became furious. He glared at Chen Xiao'er with his scarlet eyes: What a cunning human being!
You used yourself as bait, attracting my and her full attention, and then sent another group of companions to dig for the treasure underground.
What a vicious trick!
This approach is ineffective because the treasure is the pearl inside the clam shell. If you reach out while the clam shell is still alive, you will only break your bones.
However, this anomalous area is completely dependent on the energy supply of the treasure - the Energy Stone. Once the treasure senses a threat and begins to shrink, all functions will quickly cease, allowing energy to return to the core. This is the unconscious instinct of the abyssal life.
The young master held the sword in both hands and smiled bitterly in the pale light: I have clearly acquired a rudimentary level of humanity and can think with human logic, but I cannot control the entire area at the same time to fight against human tricks.
"There's no point in talking any more."
He walked towards her through the broken space and splashing cracks, waving the sword with a shimmering light.
"Human, let me see your methods."
…
"Sister, let me see your skills."
The walls and the floor were shaking, but the young master ran towards her on the clanging floor, even having time to swing his sword in a graceful manner.
Chen Xiao'er was swaying left and right while holding the broom, almost crying: "Brother, there's an earthquake, why are we still acting?"
She raised her broom to block the first blow, then backed away repeatedly until she was near the supporting wall.
Boom, boom, boom.
Snap.
A brick fell in front of her and rolled twice.
Chen Xiao'er took the time to take a look and suddenly found that the fallen brick was very special.
It is not a thick cement brick or tile, and its texture is closer to plastic.
As the shaking grew stronger, the wall paint and wallpaper began to fall off, but she didn't feel any pain when these debris fell on her.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that those magnificent-looking buildings outside were actually just stage backdrops made of plastic and fabric? How could that be possible...
Pasha, a dark shadow sank down beside him.
Oops, the load-bearing wall collapsed!
Chen Xiao'er was not stupid enough to just stand there. She ran out for her life.
boom!
The wall collapsed with a loud bang the second she escaped, and the wallpaper on both sides tore and fell to the ground, instantly raising a cloud of dust.
“Cough cough cough!”
Chen Xiao'er covered her mouth and staggered to her feet. The dust gradually settled, and she saw a familiar figure in the flying dust - Xinnaya?!
Xinnaya was half-squatting on the ground, reaching into the secret compartment under the floor with both hands.
The muscles in her arms were tense, and the undulating curves could be seen, as if she was dragging something extremely heavy.
Xiao Ai looked at her, not knowing whether to stop her or pretend she didn't know her: "How could you steal game props during an earthquake? What a stunt, sis!"
A figure suddenly flashed by, and the eldest young master obviously also saw Xinnaya's outrageous behavior.
He rushed forward in anger and swung his sword: "Put down the treasure!"
Suddenly~
Xinnaya lowered her body and easily dodged it. Without even turning around, she shouted, "Chen Xiao'er! Come and help me!"
Her whole being was focused on the box in her palm.
What was in that box? She didn't know, she could only feel the surging attraction with her heart, as if it contained endless power and a treasure of the best and most beautiful.
For creatures of the abyss, energy is everything.
If human emotions and souls are sweet honey, then the energy stone compressed to the extreme is the limit of all attraction, almost giving birth to a distorted black spot in the void.
The rules of the abnormal area are collapsing, and Xinaya's thoughts and false memories are tearing each other apart, about to expose the underlying truth.
However, her instincts had been completely drawn in by the energy stone, and she had no intention of checking out the scene that was about to appear.
The devil's greed was fully mobilized. I wanted it, wanted it very much, and wanted the contents inside no matter what.
As long as I open this, as long as I get the treasure, I will no longer be who I am now, I can...leap forward.
I can’t open it, I can’t open it, I can’t open it!
Does this require a key? I don't have a key... Even without a key, I can open it with force. It seems to be restraining my strength. This seal is too strong!
Chen Xiao'er.
The devil's deep spirit was awakened: Chen Xiao'er can do it, she is very special, she will definitely be able to open this thing.
"Chen Xiao'er! Come and help me!"
Snap!
A broom blocked the sword swung by the eldest young master.
Chen Xiao'er collapsed and shouted, "Excuse me, can you please stop fighting? All the heirs are dead..."
Crack!
She dodged left and right, hopping on her two legs as she ran towards Xinnaya, turning back to explain to the young master: "Can you please stop, let's go to the shelter first, and let us pass through, okay?"
"Don't even think about—"
The eldest young master waved his arms with red eyes, suppressing her movements again and again, completely like an expert beating a layman.
"This is everything I had, and now it's all ruined!!"
So you are the boss.
Chen Xiao'er's heart trembled: It's so pitiful. I finally signed a contract with Taoli University to use it as a military training venue, but there was an earthquake and the entire venue collapsed. I would have collapsed too if I were in his place.
But the natural disaster has already happened, and humans have no choice but to "go out".
"My condolences... There are still many things you can do!"
"ha?"
"For example..." Chen Xiao'er's eyes rolled. "For example, you can apply for this funding from the school? Also, have you bought insurance?"
The young master didn't quite understand what she meant, but he still had the concept of "school".
He was born in a treasure trove shaped by the school, so he naturally knows what a behemoth Taoli University is.
Anomalies may possess human nature, and sometimes unite into groups, but they have never successfully established a civilization similar to that of humans. Humans are obsessed with shaping and preserving civilization, and this obsession may be the same as his obsession with maintaining anomalous areas.
"Impossible, I will never join Taoli College."
He resolutely refused. Abnormalities and humans cannot coexist. Maybe I have no tomorrow, but humans also have no future.
"Huh? I didn't ask you to join Taoli University."
Chen Xiao'er was a little confused. "Boss, you are dreaming. As a student, how can I have the right to recommend you to work in a university?"
"What do you mean?"
The young master found that although his offensive could suppress the opponent, his strength was greatly weakened.
As long as he stood near this girl, his physical strength and explosive power would be greatly weakened. Previously, a single burst of power could wipe out all the humans around him, but now he couldn't even cut a broom with a single sword.
Out of fear for Chen Xiao'er, he slowed down his movements slightly and asked cautiously, "That's easy for you to say. My career for the first half of my life is tied up here. Besides continuing to act, what else can I do?"
"That's easy for you to say. My humanity was given to me by humans and treasures. How else can I survive besides continuing to maintain an anomalous location?"
"Bondage, are you bound here?"
Chen Xiao'er blinked her eyes. She really couldn't believe that this actor who couldn't even stop an earthquake and enjoyed it so much would describe his career like this?
"Yes, because I have nothing else."
The young master channeled his remaining strength into the sword. This girl's strength also has its limits. If I can break through her limits, I can kill her right here.
He felt very peaceful at the moment, probably because... it was fair.
I am guarding a precious treasure, but sooner or later someone will come and erase the meaning of my existence, and that person could be her.
She possesses a rare talent among humans, and may grow into a being that is not inferior to anomalies, but she will die sooner or later.
I will be the one to kill her.
He closed his eyes in the wind, feeling every detail of the surge of power, searching for the weakness in the girl that symbolized death.
"Chen Xiao'er——"
An angry roar came from far away, hitting the man hard and throwing his humanoid body high into the air.
"Ha-hu, ha-chi..."
Xinnaya's chest heaved violently. She clutched the box tightly in one hand, which she couldn't break open no matter how hard she smashed it. She rushed to Chen Xiao'er angrily and slammed it hard. "How long are you going to play with it? Open it for me!"
The box fell in front of her with a loud clatter, and Chen Xiao'er was so scared that she shrank her feet.
She looked in the direction where Xinnaya was rushing towards her, her eyes wide open: "My goodness, you... you knocked down all the walls? Are you a wild boar!"
There was originally a prop wall made of plastic boards separating them. The earthquake collapsed part of it, but there was still a door blocking it.
As a result, in order to rush over quickly, Xinnaya knocked down the door and the house, and now there is nothing there.
The script-killing venue is completely useless. The level of damage is so severe that it cannot be repaired. It would be better to find someone to rebuild it.
Xiao'ai looked around in the ruins and found the eldest young master's legs in the corner: the devastated man finally fainted and did not have to face the cruel reality of bankruptcy for the time being.
"Um, Xinnaya...you should pay compensation."
If you beat someone up like this, you'll have to pay for the medical expenses and mental damage - Chen Xiao'er had just finished speaking when she was pulled by the collar and pushed to the ground, her face facing the antique metal box.
Xinnaya put her knee against her face and pressed hard: "Stop talking nonsense and open it quickly!"
"Uh uh uh, how can I...oh."
I still have the small card given by the school. This metal card should be part of the props for passing the level, right?
She stared at the relief and the specially carved buckle on the iron box, took out the small piece of iron from her arms, and pressed it gently.
With a click, the lid of the box opened.
A brilliant light shot up into the sky, scattering several neon rays.
What an exaggerated light effect. Is this jade-like thing a prop to pass the level?
Chen Xiao'er stretched out her hand to touch the "jade pendant" in the light, but the other hand came over and grasped the jade first.
Shinaya's eyes reflected flashes of energy, almost overflowing with pure gold.
Ahhh…what a wonderful flavor.
All of the devil's senses were amplified, filled, and complete at this moment. It was an ultimate feeling, far beyond human conceivability, a fullness emanating from deep within his "cells."
She grasped the energy stone that was stabilized into a jade pendant with her anthropomorphic hand, and endless energy seeped through her skin into her limbs and bones.
All restrictions were lifted, and the rank of the abyss creatures gradually rose with the increase of energy. Of course, the memory of Chen Xiao'er also returned at this time.
Sinaya remembered everything.
She should have torn Chen Xiao'er apart, fulfilled her original revenge, and realized her original desire. But this desire was too small in the face of endless power. After all, why should I resent a helper who was inferior to me?
This human's repeated teasing of me might just be a game. Judging from the final result, she was obviously trying to attract my attention.
As far as human planning is concerned, it's still cute.
The devil thought quietly in the rising light: For this power, I can forgive her childish attempts and grant her to be my toy.
I would graciously ask her what she wanted to become, but the final decision would of course be mine.
…
She laughed so exaggeratedly.
Chen Xiao'er squatted beside her and watched Xinnaya grinning foolishly while holding the passing props. She picked up her phone and took a photo out of boredom.
"Xiao Ai..."
who?
Chen Xiao'er turned around and found that it was Lin Lang lying on the ground and reaching out to her.
"Did you get hurt?"
As soon as she stood up, she was frightened by Lin Lang's violent shaking of his head.
Lin Lang raised his hand and yelled with all his might, "Leave me alone!"
She was wheezing and spitting, shouting at the top of her lungs under the massive amount of radiation: "Hurry up and grab the credits!!!"
"Hurry up and get the Energy Stone back!!!"
