Both Bai Cai and Xu Ershao stared wide-eyed at Ya Ya standing by the window.
This seemingly well-behaved and adorable girl... is she, she, she even human?!
Ya Ya had her back to the two of them, her back still so delicate, but on her palm, a trace of blue light seemed to be slowly fading away...
Finally, Ya Ya seemed to sway twice and then collapsed softly. Xu Ershao went up and caught her, only to see that Ya Ya's eyelids were already closed and she had completely fainted.
Despite my heart pounding and my utter shock, at this moment...
"It seems... all the monsters are dead?" Cabbage asked blankly.
"It seems so." Young Master Xu was also a little confused: "Are we safe now?"
In the top-floor room of the villa furthest from the tool shed, a figure stood silently by the window in the darkness. The night enveloped the figure, leaving only a pair of gleaming eyes that coldly stared at the distant tool shed…
Because it was the furthest away, this villa was least affected by electromagnetic waves. The glassware in the room was broken, but the rest was still intact.
"Hmph... I didn't expect a low-level blue-blooded person to possess such power..." The figure sneered, "What was the energy level just now? Hmph... It must have been B-level! Detonating electricity instantly into a powerful attack skill, Electromagnetic Blast! That damned little girl almost ruined my plans!"
Looking at the desiccated monsters in the distance, the figure's voice grew even more sinister: "It seems I can't sense the electromagnetic power source anymore... This little girl's energy's exhausted... Hmph, electromagnetic bursts are terrifying, but you can only use them once. But I have so many more Owls!!"
The figure darted out of the window and leaped onto the rooftop terrace. In the darkness, the figure spread its arms, looked up at the sky, and softly uttered a strange sound...
The vibration frequency of this sound seemed quite low; if the distance were even slightly greater, a human ear would be unable to hear it. However, while human ears cannot detect this frequency of vibration, it is extremely sensitive to wild animals!
Soon, after the sound waves spread, a howl suddenly came from the distance of the island, behind the hillside!
Chen Xiao had just gotten up from the ground when he helped Xiao Qing to her feet: "How are you?"
"..." Xiao Qing looked at Chen Xiao with a complicated expression: "I'm fine. But just now... what was that? Those blue lights?"
"I don't know." Chen Xiao had a vague idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
"You... why are you immune to the harm of blue light?" Xiao Qing looked at Chen Xiao carefully: "Chen Xiao, who exactly are you? Your shoes and the leather jacket you're wearing aren't ordinary items, are they?"
When the two returned to the tool shed, Xu Ershao and Baicai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them return safely. Chen Xiao immediately understood everything upon seeing the unconscious Ya Ya, rushed over to hug her, and first used a detector to check on her.
Fortunately, her vital signs were stable, but it seemed that Ya Ya's energy had been completely exhausted. At this moment, according to the detector's data, Ya Ya's condition was now at the level of an ordinary person.
"I know everyone has a lot of questions, but we'll talk about them after this is all over!" Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.
"We should be safe now, right?" Bai Cai asked with some worry. "Weren't those monsters dead?"
But then, the howling sounds coming from afar made everyone's faces turn pale again.
"How many of these monsters are there?!" Young Master Xu shouted angrily.
"The problem isn't the monsters, it's the people!" Chen Xiao said solemnly. "There are people on the island controlling these monsters. I'm certain of that!"
Chapter 84 [Extreme Danger!]
"people?"
Bai Cai and Xu Ershao exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"It's a person!" Chen Xiao's expression was very serious: "This is all being manipulated by someone behind the scenes!" Then Chen Xiao explained everything that he and Xiao Qing had just seen in the cellar. After he finished speaking, Xu Ershao and Bai Cai both looked very ugly.
“They might be superhumans, but the problem is, we don’t know what their purpose is!” Chen Xiao shook his head: “It seems that they can control these monsters… Oh, they’re called owls, a kind of bio-beast.”
"Then what do we do?" Xiao Qing frowned.
Chen Xiao lowered his head and thought for a moment. When he looked up, his eyes were somewhat complicated: "Go out, go outside."
"go out?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised.
Leave the tool shed? After all, this shed has sturdy walls and doors, offering protection even against monster attacks. But now they're abandoning this fortified place to go outside…
“If it’s just a pack of wild beasts, then hiding in the houses is a good idea. But if they’re humans, then the walls and doors won’t offer us any protection.” Chen Xiao smiled wryly. “There are many ways to force people out of houses. Wild beasts don’t have the intelligence to do it, but humans can do it easily. The simplest way is that this island is full of trees; just setting a fire would force us out. Rather than that, we should go out ourselves. I think that since they’ve done something this big, they can’t have done it without a purpose. They probably don’t want to kill us all; there must be some special reason.”
Young Master Xu hesitated for a moment, but Xiao Qing had already lightly flicked the soft sword in her hand and said in a calm tone, "Then let's go out."
She seemed to glance at Chen Xiao, her gaze calm, but beneath that calmness, there was a strange undercurrent.
The young people finally left the house and came outside. Chen Xiao was empty-handed, while Xu Ershao was still holding a shovel—but even he knew very well that the shovel in his hand was not very useful.
Bai Cai and Xu Ershao were responsible for supporting the unconscious Ya Ya, while Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing walked side by side at the front.
"Come out!!"
Chen Xiao suddenly took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
Standing in front of the villa, now a scene of utter devastation, where people used to have barbecue parties at night, the lawn is now littered with shards of glass.
"Come out! Stop hiding!" Chen Xiao looked around. In the villa after the electromagnetic explosion, all the power sources were destroyed, and it was pitch black. There was no light on the entire island.
"We know someone is manipulating things!" Chen Xiao stepped forward and shouted proudly, "Stop playing tricks! Let's have a fair and square duel!"
After a moment of silence, a burst of sharp laughter came from all directions at the same time.
"Hahahahaha..."
The laughter was clearly a woman's voice, delicate yet tinged with a sharpness and disdain.
"A few interesting brats, but they've got guts." The voice was full of mockery: "Why did you think I would come out? Hmph, playing tricks? I only need to send a few more owls to tear you all to shreds!"
"Of course you can choose to do that," Chen Xiao's voice seemed devoid of any fear. "But... you won't do it, will you?"
