CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 302

Although Chen Muxue found it somewhat speechless, she didn’t want to test it herself to see what would happen after the centipede creature had accumulated enough mimicry attempts...

Anyway, it wouldn’t be anything good.

So, if she did something that it couldn’t mimic, could she break the current predicament?

Actually, it shouldn’t be too difficult. After all, she was in human form, while the centipede creature was just a long insect. There should be many actions it couldn’t mimic...

Suddenly, a thought struck Chen Muxue, and she resisted the urge to blink forcefully due to the sudden flash of inspiration.

Many people might be limited by their thinking and begin seeking breakthroughs in actions, trying to do something the centipede creature couldn’t. They think of the human form as having a significant difference from the centipede creature.

But no matter how you twist it, humans have two pairs of hands and legs with a head on top. The centipede creature, however, has countless limbs that can act as hands or feet. What’s the standard for this mimicry? Even if you fold your hand backward, it could just break one of its "hands." With so many segments, it can completely replace parts of the human body. What movement couldn’t it do?

However, there’s only one thing...

"Hey! Monster, take my staff!" Chen Muxue stayed still but spoke stiffly.

The centipede creature’s mouthparts moved, then, as if it was both agitated and ruined, it lashed its disgusting tail towards Chen Muxue!

"Hmph, someone can mimic my face, but no one can mimic my facade!" Chen Muxue leaped into the air, dodging its attack. "No matter how you mimic, it’s not... cough cough."

The chilly sensation behind her vanished instantly, and the centipede creature seemed to truly awaken at that moment. Twisting its body and shaking its mouthparts, it maniacally started spewing green water towards Chen Muxue.

Chen Muxue formed seals with her hands to conjure a protective shield to block the intrusion of the green water. However, it was like walking on a rainstorm day, using an umbrella to block the splashes from a passing vehicle driving through a puddle; embarrassingly ineffective. Her skirt caught a trace of the green water and was corroded to a dog-chewed state in seconds.

The shield couldn’t hold for long before the green water broke through. Chen Muxue hurriedly created an equally massive flow of water to cancel out the green water. Instinctively, she wielded Spiritual Power waters with both hands; the clear flow created by her left hand turned into black water upon contact with the right hand.

If the green water was as corrosive as concentrated sulfuric acid, then the black water was like an unmerciful flood devouring everything, enveloping the green water.

Chen Muxue felt a sharp pain in her left hand, as if something had struck it away, while her right hand seemed to possess its own consciousness, sticking to the forefront. It even seemed to take delight in the green water sprayed by the centipede creature!

Chen Muxue sensed something was off and attempted to withdraw, but discovered that her right hand was almost completely out of her control, unable to be pulled back.

As if feeling some pressure, the centipede creature nearly panicked, withdrawing its head, naturally ceasing to spew green water, appearing to want to flee. However, the right hand mercilessly encased it with black water!

The centipede creature writhed painfully under the rush of black water, and the surroundings began to echo with painful insect cries, or perhaps the noise made by the struggling insect body.

"Miss Flower!"

Chen Muxue faintly heard the voice of Mama Fang emerging from the centipede creature, and she tried with all her might to retrieve her right hand. A wave of Spiritual Power emitted from herself knocked her down, like a backlash.

"Such formidable power?" Master Yin exclaimed upon arriving, seeing the centipede creature collapse weakly on the ground.
