Chapter 360: Chapter 358: She Can Only Take a Beating

Chen Xing wasn’t intimidated by these Stone Monsters in the slightest.

But the smell was truly unbearable.

She had to find a gas mask in her space and put it on.

The Stone Monsters that had emerged bounded toward Chen Xing.

These things were big and heavy. Every time they landed, mud splattered everywhere.

Just then, a large platform slowly rose from the distant mud pit, parting the sludge to reveal itself. It looked like a boat, but wasn’t.

It was at least five hundred meters away from the solid ground Chen Xing was on.

She looked into the swamp and saw more Stone Monsters poking their heads out of the mud.

Chen Xing immediately leaped up. Her first step landed on the head of a Stone Monster two meters away, followed by another jump onto the head of a Stone Monster three meters further.

A series of leaps brought her much closer to the platform.

With one final jump, she landed on the platform.

Seeing their target gone, the Stone Monsters slowly sank back into the mud pit one by one.

Chen Xing walked toward the only door.

As she reached it, the double doors slid open automatically.

Inside was a corridor lit by the usual bright white lights.

Chen Xing glanced up at the security cameras on both sides at the end of the corridor.

’Xu Anguo or Chen Dingbang must be behind those, right?’

Averting her gaze, Chen Xing stepped into the hallway.

’What’s waiting for me in there?’

She didn’t know, but she wasn’t afraid.

’But... judging by the Research Institute’s usual methods, if they went to such great lengths to lure me here, they must have been fully prepared.’

When she reached the end of the hallway, the door in front of her opened.

Inside was a bright lobby. The white-themed room seemed completely devoid of danger.

After a quick scan, Chen Xing stepped into the lobby.

The instant her foot touched the ground, the door behind her slammed shut. All the lights went out, plunging the room into darkness.

She waited a moment, but she still couldn’t see a thing in the darkness.

It seemed this darkness was engineered to make her just as blind as an ordinary person.

’I’ve underestimated the Research Institute!’

’I can’t believe their plan was so thorough. They even accounted for my night vision.’

Unable to see, Chen Xing magnified her senses several times over.

But... she couldn’t feel anything at all.

’If danger were approaching, I would have sensed it. Besides, what about my Defense System?’

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her back. By the time she spun around, there was no sign of anything behind her.

She reached back and felt a wet line, a cut from a sharp blade.

’A blade got close, and my Defense System didn’t react at all?’

Chen Xing knew she was at a disadvantage. She slowly crouched down, and after touching her hand to the floor, released the electric current stored in her body.

As the current flowed from her body and coursed through the room, she saw a black figure in the faint light... no... it was more like a shadow.

The thing seemed to have no physical form, yet it was definitely there.

’It’s right near me, but I can’t sense it?’

Almost before the current faded, Chen Xing whirled to face the black shadow.

She reached out, but her hand passed right through it. She couldn’t touch it at all.

’...Are they telling me to fight something that isn’t real?’

’No wonder I couldn’t sense any danger.’

’But... the danger was very real.’

’I have to admit, the Research Institute is impressive.’

Chen Xing flickered and vanished from in front of the illusory shadow. When she reappeared, a few spots of light suddenly pierced the darkness.

They were simple lights that Chen Xing had tossed into various positions.

In the dim glow, Chen Xing darted left and right. A series of shattering sounds rang out, and the room was instantly illuminated again.

Looking at the floor, there were small piles of shattered mirrors in every corner.

Chen Xing never believed in fighting something that wasn’t there.

In that brief flash of electricity, she had noticed that the black shadow was just an illusion created on a reflective surface.

The real danger was the tiny, undetectable lasers emitted from the invisible mirrors.

The lasers caused minimal damage, making them impossible to sense as a threat, but they still left wounds.

Chen Xing’s Healing Ability had already begun to mend her wound.

At that moment, the security camera above moved slightly.

Chen Xing looked up, a provocative smirk on her face. ”I’m here. Aren’t you going to release Lu Yanran’s son?”

There was no response.

Chen Xing sneered.

’That figures.’

’You expect someone who could be ruthless to his own daughter to keep a promise with you?’

Chen Xing walked forward, and the door directly ahead opened instantly.

Inside was just a small, dimly lit room, about twenty-something square meters.

After she stepped into the room, the lights flickered off and on in an instant. The scene inside was no longer the same.

Before her was a boundless desert. The scorching sun beat down on her, the sweltering heat unbearable.

She had no choice but to take some water from her space and take a few large gulps.

’It was clearly a very small room with a marble floor just a moment ago. How could it possibly take so long to walk across?’

She quickened her pace, but the desert was endless.

She crouched down again and grabbed a handful of sand.

It was just like real desert sand, dry and hot.

’How strange.’

Just then, another strange sight appeared.

In the distance to Chen Xing’s left, tiny dots were moving.

They looked like small ants, but they moved very quickly, getting closer and closer to her.

When they got closer, she realized they weren’t ants at all.

They were twice the size of an elephant and looked like rhinoceroses, with streaks of dried mud caked on their bodies.

They moved without a hint of clumsiness.

Dozens of the monsters swarmed toward her, and Chen Xing could only dodge them quickly.

The monsters pressed in on her, but Chen Xing wasn’t the type to just take a beating.

A long, thin iron pipe formed in her hand, and she stabbed it into the monster before her.

’...’

’I clearly stabbed it, and deep too, but it doesn’t seem to have done any damage at all.’

The monster’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if it hadn’t been wounded at all, and it continued its charge.

Chen Xing deliberately slowed down, letting the sharp horn on the monster’s head graze her.

Blood trickled down her arm.

’So, this isn’t an illusion?’

Her attack had no effect just now, so she’d thought they were all just images.

’But when they hurt me, they seem solid?’

’So I’m just a sitting duck!’

’How am I supposed to fight this? This is outrageous!’

Chen Xing remembered that when she first entered, the room was only about twenty-something square meters.

So, with a flicker, she vanished from the desert.

’If... I’m not mistaken, this room is an illusion. As for why an illusion can hurt me, I have no idea.’

She entered her Jiezhi Space, intending to use it to pass through the illusion.

When she exited her Jiezhi Space—from which the outside world was just a blur—she felt herself plunging into the depths of the ocean.

A feeling of suffocation washed over her, and her clothes became unbearably heavy.

Most terrifying of all, a massive white whale was circling around her.
