Su Yao and her father were on high alert, but the spatial ability user opposite them looked disdainful, casually waving his hands, instantly distorting and deforming the surrounding space, and countless spatial blades shot towards them like raindrops.
Su Yao's eyes narrowed, and she quickly erected a spatial barrier, enveloping herself and her father within it. Spatial blades struck the barrier, creating ripples. Su Yao could feel immense pressure bearing down on her, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, while rapidly considering a solution in her mind.
“He has a strong grasp of space, but I can’t lose,” Su Yao said in a low voice. She activated the system’s auxiliary analysis function, trying to find a weakness in the opponent’s spatial ability.
The system quickly provided a prompt: After launching a powerful attack, a space-type ability user will have a brief gap in the spatial force returning, during which time their defense will be at its weakest.
Su Yao had a plan in mind. She turned to her father and said, "Dad, I'll create a spatial illusion to attract his attack. You find an opportunity to attack his right side, which might be his weak point."
The father nodded in understanding. Su Yao quickly formed hand seals, using her spatial abilities to create several phantoms identical to them, which rushed off in different directions. Seeing this, the spatial ability user sneered and once again manipulated spatial blades to shoot at the phantoms.
The instant he attacked the phantom, Su Yao's father, like a cheetah, swiftly charged towards the right side of the space-type ability user, gripping a specially made high-temperature resistant alloy knife tightly in his hand, and thrust it fiercely. The space-type ability user sensed the attack from the right and tried to dodge, but it was too late. He could only barely turn to the side, the alloy knife grazing his body, leaving a bloody gash.
"How dare you hurt me!" The space-type ability user roared angrily. He waved his hands violently, and the space beneath his feet began to collapse, forming a huge spatial vortex, attempting to pull Su Yao and her father into it.
Seeing this, Su Yao quickly grabbed her father's hand and used spatial teleportation to instantly move him to the edge of the vortex. Then, she concentrated her mind, maximizing her spatial abilities, and released a powerful reverse spatial force towards the center of the vortex, attempting to neutralize it.
The two spatial forces collided, triggering a powerful spatial storm. The surrounding scenery became blurred, and spatial fragments flew everywhere. Ling Yu and Su Yao's mother witnessed this from outside, extremely anxious, but they knew they couldn't rush in at this time and could only wait anxiously outside.
Amidst the spatial storm, Su Yao and the other space-type ability users struggled to maintain their power balance. Sweat beaded on Su Yao's forehead; she felt her abilities dwindling, but a steadfast belief remained: she must defeat this enemy and protect her father and the others in the safe house.
Suddenly, Su Yao noticed a hint of panic on the spatial ability user's face, realizing that their power was about to run out. Seizing this opportunity, she gathered all her remaining spatial abilities into her hand, forming a massive spatial sword.
"It's over!" Su Yao shouted, swinging her spatial sword at the space-type ability user. The space-type ability user tried to dodge, but it was too late. The spatial sword struck him directly, slicing his body in two. As he fell, the phantom space began to shake violently and gradually collapsed.
Su Yao hurriedly grabbed her father and used spatial teleportation to escape the illusion space. As soon as they came out, they collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"I'm so glad you're all alright!" Ling Yu ran over excitedly.
"Never mind that for now, we need to get to the mining base and find energy ore," Su Yao said weakly but firmly.
After a short rest, the group continued their journey towards the mining base. Upon arrival, they found the place in ruins, littered with abandoned mining equipment and the corpses of several high-temperature mutated creatures.
Su Yao activated the system's detection function to search for traces of energy ore. After some searching, they discovered a hidden mine deep within the base, emitting a faint glow of energy.
"They should be inside, everyone be careful," Su Yao said.
They cautiously entered the mine, which was dark and damp, with the occasional dripping sound of water. At the far end of the mine, they finally found a large quantity of energy ore. This ore emitted a mesmerizing light, like a beacon of hope for them in this apocalyptic world of extreme heat.
"We've finally found it! With these ores, we can better ensure the operation of the climate control device," Su Yao said excitedly.
Working together, everyone collected the energy ore and returned to the safe house. Back inside, they fed the ore into the climate control device, which became more stable, further reducing the temperature around the safe house and significantly improving their survival in the high-temperature apocalypse. But Su Yao knew this was only the beginning of their survival journey; many more challenges awaited them. They had to keep striving and growing stronger to survive in this cruel world.
