Chapter 527 - 521: Chicken Ribs

Lin Yiyi herself was completely stunned.

After all, she had been taming these mutated dogs and cats for a long time, and every single one was completely obedient to her commands.

Their sudden rebellion had caught her completely off guard, leaving her utterly bewildered.

It wasn’t until the other two mutated dogs and cats also pounced, chasing and mauling her, that Lin Yiyi finally snapped out of it and shouted angrily, "They’re out of control! Kill them, quickly!"

In reality, Lin Yiyi didn’t need to remind them. Zhuang Lei and Xu Yu weren’t idiots.

The moment the mutated dogs and cats had pounced, Xu Yu had already launched several Water Arrows at them, and Zhuang Lei had swiftly erected an earth wall in front of himself.

But the mutated dogs and cats were simply too fast. They leaped over the short, stout earth wall and were in front of Zhuang Lei in an instant.

One of the mutated dogs opened its massive, fang-filled maw and sank its teeth into Zhuang Lei’s thigh.

An excruciating, bone-deep pain shot through him, so intense that Zhuang Lei nearly fainted.

’Fuck, it hurt!’

The fanged mutated dog had actually ripped a chunk of flesh from his thigh and was now brazenly chewing on it.

Anger surged through Zhuang Lei, followed by a wave of bone-chilling horror.

’An animal had actually torn a chunk of flesh off him and swallowed it on the spot?’

This was, without a doubt, the greatest humiliation he had suffered since awakening his superpower.

Enraged, he unleashed his fury on the rebellious mutated animals, and soon the ground at his feet was slick with blood.

Zhuang Lei was practically beside himself with rage. He turned and roared at Lin Yiyi: "Didn’t you say you had all these mutated animals completely tamed?"

"Why did they suddenly turn on us and go wild? What the hell is happening? Are you behind this?!"

Lin Yiyi’s eyes reddened, and she looked aggrieved.

’Even though I don’t like Zhuang Lei and Xu Yu, would I really start a fight with them in front of an outsider?’

’What good would it do me to have the mutated animals injure my own teammates?’

’Absolutely none.’

’I’m just as confused as they are, okay?’

’Why is this happening? I want some answers myself!’

Xu Yu, however, was a bit shrewder than the other two.

She seemed to have figured out the problem. She turned and glared at Su Xiyue, who was sitting primly inside the Wood Vine Ball. "This is your doing, isn’t it?"

"It’s you! You did all of this, right? I knew it had to be you."

Lin Yiyi immediately caught on, her face full of disbelief as she shouted at Su Xiyue, "What did you do?"

"Aren’t you a Wood Element Superpower User? Why can you also control animals? Is this all your doing? You’re the one who made them attack Zhuang and Ms. Xu, aren’t you?"

Su Xiyue’s only response was an unusually cold smile.

Seeing her completely unruffled expression, Lin Yiyi felt a sudden, inexplicable tightness in her chest.

’That smile... It was so damn similar to the disdainful smirk Xie Ning always wore.’

’Her whole family is a bunch of selfish, cold-hearted monsters!’

"Does your sister know this is what you’re really like? I bet she’s never seen this cold, inhuman side of you."

"You’re always playing the part of the good little girl, but none of them know you as well as I do. You’re just a selfish, ruthless, and heartless woman."

Su Xiyue ignored her and continued to smile without speaking.

This thoroughly enraged Lin Yiyi and the other two.

With a cold, angry face, Zhuang Lei snapped, "Let’s not wait. Burn it. No matter how powerful her Wood Element is, it can’t stop fire, can it?"

Lin Yiyi stomped her foot in frustration. "If we burn her, we won’t get anything! Her backpack must be full of good stuff. Are you really okay with that?"

"Besides, you all noticed it earlier, right? Every time she takes a sip from that water bottle, the superpower energy fluctuations from her body surge. Have you ever seen an Energy Supplement Potion that can replenish superpower energy so quickly?"

"A single sip can restore that much superpower energy. It has to be a special, high-potency Energy Supplement Potion used exclusively by Xie Ning and the Starfire Team. Are you really willing to just give up on a potion like that?"

And indeed, neither Zhuang Lei nor Xu Yu was willing to let it go.

But the tearing pain in Zhuang Lei’s thigh was only getting worse. He just wanted to resolve this mess as quickly as possible without any more complications.

Xu Yu felt the same. After all, no matter how great a special potion was, her own life was far more important.

The two of them immediately pulled Lin Yiyi aside. They glared at Su Xiyue in her cage, their faces full of rage, and said in a cold voice, "You damn brat. Just die in there."

"Hide in your wooden cage and enjoy the feeling of death."

Lin Yiyi looked annoyed. "Aren’t you going to beg for mercy? Maybe if you beg us, we’ll let you go."

Su Xiyue looked at her expressionlessly.

"Knowing you, would begging even work?"

"Don’t worry. Even if I die, my sister will never let a single one of you go. You’ll all end up dead anyway! I’m just going a step ahead of you. What is there to be afraid of?"

’They’re the ones who should be terrified. I can already imagine how my sister will make these three pay to avenge me.’

Su Xiyue’s words thoroughly enraged Zhuang Lei and the other two.

Because it was the truth. As much as Zhuang Lei and Xu Yu loathed and hated Xie Ning, they were also terrified of her.

If they didn’t handle this flawlessly and left any clues for that monster, Xie Ning, to find, they couldn’t even imagine what kind of death awaited them.

The best way was to make sure not even Su Xiyue’s bones remained, to erase every single trace and make it so this incident had absolutely nothing to do with them.

’That’s the only way we’ll get out of this safely.’

At this thought, Zhuang Lei shot Lin Yiyi an infuriated glare.

’If it weren’t for Lin Yiyi acting on her own damn accord, they wouldn’t be in this mess.’

’That woman, Lin Yiyi, was more trouble than she was worth. Who knows what goes on in that head of hers.’

’She went behind our backs to capture Su Xiyue, and by the time we found out, it was already a done deal.’

’If Lin Yiyi hadn’t captured Su Xiyue, I wouldn’t have had a huge chunk of flesh torn off by these damn rebellious animals. It’s infuriating.’

’He used to think Lin Yiyi’s special Beast Taming Power was incredibly useful!’

’Only now did he realize this superpower had such a massive drawback?’

’Tamed mutated animals that could just ignore commands and attack their master.’

’It just goes to show, a beast is always a beast.’

’Lin Yiyi’s Beast Taming Power now seemed completely worthless.’

’What’s the point of a garbage superpower like that, one where the pets could turn on you at any moment?’

’Even a simple Five Elements Superpower is more useful than this.’

’They might be common, but at least when you master one, it’s yours. It won’t turn on you and stab you in the back.’

Lin Yiyi knew that in this situation, the more she said, the more trouble she’d be in.
