Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: A Prop with an Owner

Xu Huo didn’t rush to deal with the attacker because the Different Species Group, which was late to arrive, had already charged into Xiaohe City. Inside the city, they rampaged recklessly, causing buildings, whose internal metals had already been pulverized and could barely maintain their original forms, to collapse one after another—although many had already been dismantled by him and Mr. Kang before, but now with this stampede, the entire city was visibly reduced to ruins.

The players caught in the midst of this naturally had to prioritize their own safety first.

"Cubic Space" itself couldn’t prevent the buildings from collapsing, but it could form temporary Spatial Barriers under his control, effortlessly blocking the falling rubble. Additionally, this space inherently contained multiple different densities of rays, which didn’t require human manipulation and could autonomously form a passage—Mr. Kang’s invincibility in Xiaohe City was probably due to utilizing these ready-made Spatial Channels. Of course, besides allowing passage, the rays were easier to control. With Xu Huo’s current level of Evolution, he could manipulate specific areas in an extremely short span of time, altering the entire channel’s density, thereby making it accessible even to non-owners.

The first trial subjects were two Black Wolves, which were within this spatial region. Xu Huo remotely manipulated the rays, altering the nature of the same density ray channel and forming a passageway-like Spatial Barrier. After the two Black Wolves barreled into it, they could only run along the trajectory of the channel. Although there wasn’t an overlapping shadow forming behind them, their speed had indeed increased.

Regrettably, such a channel couldn’t be maintained for too long, and Xu Huo’s control was limited. Despite the Black Wolves’ inability to break through the channel, a sudden charge from an enormous Mutant Beast nearby shattered it.

However, the outcome had already surpassed Xu Huo’s expectations. If he could trap a Mutant Beast, it meant he could temporarily hold some players or even confine ordinary people for extended periods. He could carry out long-range attacks and defenses, simply by severing the channel midway—this capability was clearly something Mr. Kang hadn’t developed.

Another interesting thing Xu Huo discovered was how quickly "Cubic Space" adapted to Spatial Artifacts. All his Spatial Artifacts, regardless of their level high or low, would form a strange force field when brought inside, like the other different density rays, becoming part of this Chaotic Space while not interfering with other Space-Time Items’ interactions.

That is to say, Cubic Space could swiftly adapt to any "ray" from any Space-Time Item in a very short time. However, within its range, the suppression of Advanced Space-Time Artifacts over Low Level ones still applied, meaning while it could accept them, if outsiders were fighting, it wouldn’t interfere.

Naturally, compared to Cubic Space, the force field of Advanced Space-Time Artifacts usually has a broader range.

Xu Huo speculated that the Spatial Artifacts being suppressed was likely due to Mr. Kang’s use of other Advanced Items.

Nonetheless, this was odd and contradictory to him.

Space-Time Items have incompatible Characteristics; there’s no reason this item could be an exception. Putting aside adaptation and non-interference from other props, Cubic Space doesn’t seem like a Spatial Artifact at all.

As for the chaos of space and time, it’s much easier to understand. Although the principle is unclear, since the Cubic Space internally can automatically adapt to various Space-Time Items, it must be relatively stable. Surely, the collision of different Spatial Rays will generate irreconcilable zones. In this area, the rays are mixed, seemingly linked to the external space as well.

Xu Huo didn’t rashly touch this area, as he couldn’t even manipulate the rays at the edge. Until it’s clear what kind of prop this is, there’s no need to take the risk.

It’s worth noting that Cubic Space can’t be stored in the prop inventory, meaning this item has an owner. Mr. Kang was clearly just holding it on their behalf. Even self-destruction didn’t take the item away.

Clearly, Mr. Kang without this Artifact was just an ordinary Rank-B player, nowhere near the top echelons. One has to wonder if he was hiding here to avoid the prop’s original owner... However, this leads to a new problem: the prop can be used, but its power is always leaking out.

He couldn’t imitate Mr. Kang and lock himself in a house, using a dangerous instance to disguise the threat of the prop. Xu Huo thought it over and drew the outermost rays of the prop’s coverage area inward, but he gave up after half a minute. It was easy to release them, but hard to retract. He could only keep the range stable at about three hundred meters.

With this item, other scattered props seemed insignificant. He only collected three nearby props, then Zhou Yuanzhu drove a flying vehicle from the outskirts of the city to search for him.

"Brother Xu!" Zhou Yuanzhu saw him from a distance, sitting against a rock with his hand over his chest, his clothes and limbs all bloody, and hurriedly used a prop to lift him into the air. She gently caught him before asking, "Are you alright?"

Xu Huo’s lung injury wasn’t completely stopped; in a soft voice, he said, "I can’t move a lot for now. Take me back to the business building area first."

Zhou Yuanzhu quickly nodded, "Guan Shu and the others have already hidden inside a prop, let’s hurry in, too!"

Under the threat of the Different Species Group, most players were hiding to save themselves, but some were brave and skilled, and they chased after Xu Huo as soon as he showed up.

One Rank-B player along with six Rank-C Players, including the bloody headed Gong Jiaji.

"You killed Mr. Kang!" he said through gritted teeth, staring at Xu Huo as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Lacking energy, Xu Huo took a small sound-amplifying prop and pointed the small horn towards him, "Didn’t he commit suicide? In order not to leave the prop to me, he wasn’t afraid to shatter into pieces. With such courage, it’s a wonder what he was hiding here for."

"You dare to insult Mr. Kang!" Gong Jiaji’s eyes were about to burst.

Xu Huo could still smile, "Instead of looking for trouble with me, why don’t you go kill those Aliens below? Your Mr. Kang has been eaten by them."

Seeing Gong Jiaji so furious that the veins on his forehead bulged, Zhou Yuanzhu couldn’t help but whisper, "Brother Xu, maybe we should say less... "

Before she could finish, Xu Huo spoke again, but this time to the other players, "Time in Xiaohe City is four times faster than outside. Mr. Kang single-handedly created the current situation and deceived you all to wait for death here. Now that I’ve exposed him, you should be thanking me."

"Wasting artifacts here is meaningless; why not conserve your strength and return to the instance?"

"What’s done is done; we need to leave," said the tall Rank-B Player playfully, "but you’ve destroyed our hard-found paradise, so you’ll have to pay a price."

Reconciliation was impossible; these people were not virtuous men or women to begin with. The ones who stayed, refusing to leave even with the Aliens laying siege, were all hoping to be the last opportunists.

Xu Huo gestured for Zhou Yuanzhu to help him, and after sitting up on the flying vehicle, he gestured lightly to the people in front of him.
