After absorbing the mysterious energy emanating from the giant beast, Su Yao could clearly feel her own supernatural power surging within her, as if she had been reborn. She tried to circulate this power, and saw that the fire spirits surrounding her became more agile and intense, and the color of the flames changed from orange-red to dark blue, indicating that the temperature and power of the flames had been qualitatively improved.
“We need to get out of here quickly. The explosion and energy fluctuations just now might attract more mutated creatures,” Su Yao said. Her family nodded in agreement, packed their equipment, and prepared to leave the abandoned factory.
However, before they could even step out of the factory gates, the system suddenly issued an emergency alert: "Attention! A large number of high-level mutated creatures are gathering at the abandoned factory and are expected to arrive in three minutes. These include the Phantom-Eyed Demon Wolf, which has the ability to launch mental attacks, and the Steel-Armored Berserker Bear, which has extremely strong defense."
Su Yao frowned; she knew this enemy was more formidable than any she had faced before. "Mom and Dad, let's find a place to hide first, then figure out a way to break through," Su Yao quickly decided.
The family searched for a suitable hiding place within the factory and eventually found a relatively secluded space in a basement. The basement was filled with old machinery and miscellaneous items, which they used to build a makeshift defensive structure.
Soon, the Phantom-Eyed Wolves and the Steel-Armored Berserkers led a group of mutated creatures to the factory. The Phantom-Eyed Wolves' eyes gleamed with an eerie light; their mental attacks could induce hallucinations and cause people to lose their sense of self. The Steel-Armored Berserkers, on the other hand, were covered in a hard metal shell, and each step they took shook the ground.
Su Yao peered through the cracks in the basement, observing the situation outside. She knew she couldn't let these mutated creatures discover their hiding place. But the Phantom Wolves seemed to sense something; they began searching the factory, and one of them headed towards the basement.
"Prepare for battle. We can't let it get close," Su Yao whispered. She quietly used her supernatural ability to ignite a ghostly blue flame at the entrance to the basement, forming a barrier of fire.
The Phantom Wolf approached the fire barrier, but instead of rushing through, it unleashed a mental attack on the flames. Su Yao felt dizzy, but she withstood the attack thanks to her strong willpower. "Everyone be careful, don't be affected by its mental attack," Su Yao reminded her family.
Seeing that its mental attack was ineffective, the Phantom Wolf attempted to bypass the flame barrier. Su Yao seized the opportunity, controlling a fire spirit to fly out from the barrier and pounce on the Phantom Wolf. The fire spirit, like a ghostly blue phantom, instantly surrounded the Phantom Wolf. The Phantom Wolf struggled in the flames, but the ghostly blue flames quickly devoured it, reducing it to ashes.
However, the death of the Phantom Wolf attracted the attention of other mutated creatures. The Steel-Armored Berserker Bear roared and charged into the basement, its massive body resembling a heavy tank. Su Yao directed her family to focus their attacks on the Steel-Armored Berserker Bear's eyes, its relatively weak point.
The father took out an energy crossbow and fired it at the steel-armored bear's eye. The bolt struck the bear's eye, but only left a shallow scratch on its eyelid. The steel-armored bear became even more enraged, swinging its massive paws towards the basement's fortifications.
Su Yao and her mother worked together to control an energy shield to withstand the Steel Armored Bear's attacks. However, the bear's strength was immense, and each attack made the energy shield teeter on the brink of collapse. Su Yao concentrated all her supernatural abilities, gathering the eerie blue flames into a massive flaming spear, which she then thrust towards the Steel Armored Bear.
The flaming spear pierced the Steel Armored Bear's abdomen. Although it didn't penetrate its metal shell, it still caused some damage. The Steel Armored Bear roared in pain and turned to pounce on Su Yao.
Su Yao did not back down; she continued to control her flaming spear to fight the armored bear. During the fierce battle, Su Yao noticed that when the bear attacked, tiny gaps would appear in the metal shell on its abdomen. Realizing this was an opportunity, she dodged the bear's attacks while waiting for her chance.
Finally, during a brief pause after one of the bear's attacks, Su Yao accurately plunged the flaming spear into a crevice in its abdomen. The flaming spear released powerful energy, exploding inside the armored bear's body. The armored bear crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.
Seeing the Steel-Armored Bear defeated, some of the other mutated creatures began to retreat. But others continued their charge towards the basement. Su Yao and her family did not let their guard down for a moment; they continued fighting, using their supernatural abilities and weapons to defend against the mutated creatures' attacks.
After a grueling battle, they finally repelled all the mutated creatures. Su Yao and her family were exhausted, but they knew that every battle was a step towards growth. Armed with the experience and increased strength gained from this battle, they left the abandoned factory and headed towards the safe house, unsure of what challenges awaited them next, but the light of hope in their hearts never faded.
