Chapter 43 Unexpected.
Since she had already been exposed, and since she hadn't succeeded in hitting him the first time, Mo Xiu didn't care whether her next ability would be conspicuous or not.
Xu Liang narrowly dodged another attack, and his pupils constricted sharply as he looked at the charred crater left by the lightning ball that had pierced the shelf.
The power of that lightning ball was definitely beyond the capabilities of a level two lightning-type ability user. So why was this person hiding their strength all this time?
"You, you're a Level 3 ability user!" Xu Liang exclaimed to Mo Xiu in shock.
Mo Xiu's current superpower is certainly not just level three; he has already reached level four. However, he doesn't intend to waste words with the person opposite him, because it's pointless.
Now that he has already taken action and exposed himself to the other party, there is only one outcome: to completely kill Xu Liang.
Therefore, he wouldn't waste time resolving the other party's doubts, but instead immediately took action. He continuously unleashed lightning and wind-absorbing abilities at the person opposite him, wanting to quickly resolve this major problem.
However, given that the other party was on guard, the process was indeed much more complicated than expected, because there were quite a few shelves in the warehouse.
Xu Liang also has a lot of practical experience and is agile, making him much harder to kill than Ren Zha and Bian Tai.
Especially since Xu Liang himself is a fire-type ability user. Fire-type abilities are powerful offensive abilities. Although the opponent's level is not as high as Mo Xiu's, it is still level three.
While dodging, Xu Liang also tried throwing fireballs at Mo Xiu, attempting to attack her, which annoyed Mo Xiu.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi, along with Xiong Gangyong, went to another warehouse that was a little further away.
Xiong Gangyong's eyes lit up when he saw the large quantity of puffed snacks in the warehouse. He quickly opened his backpack and started stuffing them inside.
The backpack was stuffed full, but not much could be crammed in. Looking at all the various snacks, I felt a little worried.
"My goodness, so much food! How are we going to carry it all out? It's not that it's heavy, but it takes up so much space! We can't possibly carry that much at once!"
Xiong Gangyong complained and turned to look at Mo Qi, who looked relaxed. He immediately felt angry and said to him, "Hey, pretty boy, you should think of something!"
Stop wandering around aimlessly all day; you're completely useless. What did you even come along for? Just to be a decorative vase?!
Xiong Gangyong said irritably, and rolled his eyes at Mo Qi.
Mo Qi found the man's childish behavior amusing. He had seen many people mock him, but he rarely saw anyone mock him like that, speaking ill of him to his face in such a low-class way.
This isn't mocking someone; it's more like a child throwing a tantrum.
These snacks in the warehouse are a good thing. What's so difficult about getting them out? There are plenty of cars outside; just bring one in and load them up.
So this guy only thought about carrying it himself?
No wonder Mo Xiu had subtly hinted to him earlier on the way that Xiong Gangyong wasn't very bright.
At first, he thought Mo Xiu was speaking with emotion, but now he realized she was just stating the facts...
However, Mo Qi didn't pay much attention to these minor matters such as how to transport supplies. Ever since he entered the warehouse, he had had a bad feeling.
The demonic energy here was so dense that even he couldn't ignore it.
As a demonic cultivator, Mo Qi was most sensitive to demonic energy. This world had almost no spiritual energy; the air was always filled with a faint demonic aura. He had only ever sensed such a concentrated state from zombies.
However, the demonic energy he had sensed from the zombies earlier was far less than what he had felt in this warehouse this time.
Could it be that something powerful is hidden here?
Mo Qi was curious and wanted to get closer, feeling that this thing seemed worth exploring.
He had only taken two steps when he noticed that there was a "fool" following him, which was indeed getting in his way.
"Hey! Pretty boy, where are you going? Why are you wandering around without listening to me? I asked you if you had any way to take all this food with you! Why are you going deeper into the warehouse?"
Xiong Gangyong has a fierce-looking face, but he turns out to be a chatterbox.
Mo Qi frowned and lightly scolded him for his incessant rambling: "Shut up, you noisy person."
The man choked for a moment and immediately shut his mouth. For some reason, at that instant, the aura emanating from the pretty boy beside him, whom he looked down upon, made him subconsciously want to submit.
But the next second, he realized why he should listen to this guy who had no ability at all!
Xiong Gangyong felt he had lost face and was so angry that his face turned red. He said angrily to Mo Qi, "Why should I listen to you? It's one thing for me to listen to that Mo Xiu, but who do you think you are!"
Let me tell you, don't think you can boss me around just because you're one of Mo Xiu's people. I won't listen to you! My brother is Xiong Mingyuan, the base commander of Shanhe Base. He's very powerful.
"I'm a metal-based ability user, much stronger than you, an ordinary person with no abilities whatsoever."
Xiong Gangyong went on and on, but this time, Mo Qi's attention wasn't on him, and he didn't even hear what he was saying.
Mo Qi noticed some strange noises coming from the corner of the shelf not far from them.
It sounded like crunching chewing, or like scales scraping against the ground. These sounds were so subtle that most people would hardly notice them if it weren't for Mo Qi's keen senses.
At this moment, Xiong Gangyong finally realized that something was wrong. He noticed that Mo Qi's expression was somewhat serious, and he kept staring in a certain direction. Sure enough, he noticed that the shelf in that corner seemed to be shaking slightly.
Such a sealed warehouse couldn't possibly let in any air. The shelves here are sturdy, and they're far apart, so how could the shelves possibly sway on their own?
The man's heart leaped into his throat. Noticing that Mo Qi was still slowly approaching the shelf, he nervously swallowed.
He walked up to Mo Xiu and whispered, "Hey pretty boy, don't do anything reckless! What if there are two zombies hiding behind this shelf..."
Mo Qi gave the other person a quiet look, picked up a box of candy from the shelf next to her, and threw it over.
Instantly, the chewing sounds and the scraping of scales on the ground that he had heard earlier disappeared, and the slightly swaying shelf also became quiet.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Mingyuan immediately held his breath, but the pretty boy beside him was still slowly getting closer.
He wanted to pull the person away, thinking that no matter what, this person was Mo Xiu's man, and he couldn't let something happen to him under his nose.
Before his hand could even touch Mo Qi's clothes, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside the warehouse.
Then, the shelf that had just been settled not far from them suddenly made a loud noise, and something suddenly popped out from behind it.
