Chapter 279: Chapter 276: How to Kill a Cactus Monster This Big?

Chen Xing had been on guard against him. When the needle-like object flew at her, she simply leaned to the side and dodged it.

She opened her palm and made a grasping motion toward the two of them. Two streams of power instantly transferred into her body.

The special Water Attribute superpower successfully occupied a small slot.

The other was an ordinary Superpower User with a Gold Attribute.

After entering Chen Xing’s body, it merged with her Gold Attribute, strengthening it to some degree.

Chen Xing was speechless. ’I originally thought absorbing ordinary superpowers was useless.’

From now on, she would just boldly absorb anyone who meant her harm.

The two men collapsed limply to the ground at the same time, staring at Chen Xing in disbelief.

’What just happened?’

Their minds were a blur.

”What did you do to us?” Oria had no strength left; it was difficult to even move.

The sand quickly submerged him halfway.

The other man was no better off and was soon devoured by the desert.

Chen Xing immediately pulled her car out from the sand and continued driving forward.

Just as Song Yiguo had said, quite a few foreign Superpower Users had entered the country.

In such a vast desert, Chen Xing once again encountered a team of Superpower Users.

It was a large group, with over thirty people.

Upon seeing Chen Xing, they wasted no time on words, immediately gathering their superpowers and attacking her.

They had heard that Chen Xing was formidable and knew she had the ability of Instant Teleportation, so they gave her no opportunity to act.

Since they gave her no quarter, Chen Xing was perfectly fine with that.

’After all, there was no reason to refuse superpowers delivered right to her doorstep.’

Without even getting out of the car, she stretched her hand forward and then pulled back. More than ten streams of superpowers surged into her body at once.

It was a chaotic jumble, and she didn’t have time to examine them in detail.

There were still over twenty people left; she couldn’t miss a single one.

So she immediately absorbed another dozen or so streams of superpowers.

After two rounds of this, all the Superpower Users had collapsed limply to the ground, and before long, they were swallowed by the desert.

Chen Xing was more than happy to let the desert dispose of the bodies for her.

However, this time, before she could even start her car, she saw a convoy of vehicles approaching.

The wind was bone-chilling, so Chen Xing immediately rolled up her window.

Just then, a thick wall of yellow sand suddenly rose from behind the convoy.

The swirling yellow sand pelted her window, feeling as if it might shatter the glass.

Looking out through the sandstorm, she saw the convoy below instantly stop, then sink into the desert as if it were riding an elevator down.

Chen Xing was speechless. ’That group has an Earth Attribute Superpower User. They pulled the people and their vehicles right into the sand.’

’To be able to move that much sand at once, this Earth Attribute Superpower User must have upgraded their ability.’

After swallowing the convoy, the sandstorm lost its target and locked onto Chen Xing instead.

The yellow sand swirled up, reaching Chen Xing in an instant.

Chen Xing wanted to figure out what was inside the sandstorm, so she didn’t immediately retreat into her Jiezhi Space this time.

After stowing her car away, she stood alone in the swirling sand, waiting for the monster.

Under the cover of the swirling sand, several long tendrils stealthily approached Chen Xing.

When they drew near, Chen Xing tried to stab one with her knife to see what it was.

The thing looked like an octopus, but that seemed impossible.

’How could an octopus possibly appear in the desert?’

She put some force into the stab, but while the tendril looked soft, her blade not only failed to pierce it in the slightest, but its tip was snapped clean off.

She then pulled two bombs from her space and tossed them to either side into the sandstorm.

With the explosions, green liquid splattered everywhere.

Chen Xing realized what it was—a cactus.

The soft, octopus-like tendrils had to be its spines.

To verify her theory, she grabbed the next tendril that stabbed at her with a gloved hand and followed it upward.

Sure enough, after following it for more than ten meters, she saw a cactus in the sandstorm so enormous she couldn’t see its top.

Its body was covered in countless spines, all of them limp tendrils, but they instantly stiffened to defend against any attack.

’How am I supposed to kill a cactus monster this big?’

Chen Xing followed the cactus down to its base, entering the sand.

Its root system wasn’t very deep; Chen Xing only had to descend a short way before reaching the bottom of it.

Immediately pulling a chainsaw from her space, Chen Xing began to cut through its roots in a circle.

Soon, the cactus’s root system was severed, and the plant withered instantly.

By the time Chen Xing emerged from the ground onto the surface, the sandstorm had vanished.

Only a huge, withered yellow cactus lay on the sand.

Meanwhile, the Superpower Users who had disappeared into the sand earlier had emerged from underground and noticed her.

A blaze instantly erupted around Chen Xing.

The flames were so immense they seemed poised to engulf the entire world.

Although the weather was cold, the area around Chen Xing was already unbearably hot.

Chen Xing had countless ways to escape, but ’why should I run?’

’Since these foreign thugs mean me harm, isn’t it the perfect chance to justifiably absorb their powers?’

Already possessing a Fire Ability, Chen Xing made a grasping motion and absorbed the massive blaze into her body.

The group of over fifty people watched, completely dumbfounded.

”Could she be a Special Superpower User, too?” the enemy Fire Attribute Superpower User guessed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to absorb such a huge fire in an instant.

Even a normal Fire Ability User couldn’t do that.

Chen Xing did a quick headcount. With over fifty people, five rounds of absorption at most would be enough to take care of all of them.

She stretched her hand out and pulled it back, and more than ten people collapsed to the ground simultaneously.

The remaining Superpower Users, not understanding what was happening, went to check on their fallen comrades.

In that instant, Chen Xing repeated the motion, and another dozen or so people dropped to the ground.

The Superpower Users who sensed something was wrong immediately launched an attack on Chen Xing.

”Don’t attack—” a Superpower User on the ground tried to stop them, but it was too late.

He had dual superpowers; besides being a Thunder Ability User, he also had a Defense Ability.

When this superpower was activated, nothing could hit him; instead, it would reflect attacks back at the assailant.

The reason he reacted so quickly was that he saw a Defense Shield had already appeared around Chen Xing.

But his warning came too late.

Most of the unleashed superpowers were reflected, injuring several people at once.

Some were struck by lightning, some were burned by fire, and others were left soaking wet.

It was a gruesome sight.

Of course, those who were still alive were considered the lucky ones.

A few unlucky ones were killed outright by their own teammates’ superpowers.

Chen Xing hadn’t yet realized she’d gained a Defense Ability. It was only when her opponents stopped attacking that she looked up and saw the transparent shield surrounding her.

Looking at the injured Superpower Users, she guessed it was a Defense Ability.

Just as her attention was focused on the Defense Shield, all the Superpower Users on the sand in front of her vanished.

Only those who now had no superpowers were left behind, staring at her in despair.

Seeing that they couldn’t win, the enemy Earth Element Superpower User had taken the remaining able-bodied Superpower Users and escaped into the sand.

Chen Xing activated her Earth Ability and instantly dove into the sand after them.

’Even if I have to dig three feet deep, I’m not leaving any of them alive today!’
