Local Snake

Amelia put on a mask on her face. Her hair is tied behind her head, she is wearing a black combat suit similar to the one Blake is wearing. Her combat boots are very feminine with a small heel and its material wrapped tightly around her legs. The saber was made by her using the most purified ore in the forging room inside her space gleams sharply in her hands.

Her body is shaped like a matured woman with ample breasts, round buttocks, long legs and a flat belly. Coupled with the long thick hair reaching below her waist. When she stood infront of the several people with that heroic posture it makes for a picture of a sexy goddess of war.

The combat suit covers her neck and she is wearing leather gloves on her hands so her body is completely covered with black colored material. She waited, her hands shaking slightly, she is actually very excited to use her saber again.

Her two pets stood near the barrier guarding it, her instructions are to do whatever it takes to kill whoever tries to enter the barrier later. One is a one meter hound with black synthetic fur and the other is a gorilla with heavy fists and lightning fast movements.

Zhu Li had downloaded a bunch of combat styles for them to use depending on the situation they can adjust accordingly. There is a chip on these pets to help them do calculations for various scenarios. Otherwise they will require continuous instructions during battle. The chip makes them capable of recording the task and then using whatever means it available for them to complete it.

"Who are you?" A voice came from a man in front rushing towards what he perceives to be treasure.

Ye Han had been running at full speed to this location so he can snatch the treasure before those old monsters even get to it. But he is blocked by a woman who seems to be waiting for him.

"It's rude to ask that question without offering your name first." Amelia said to him. He can not see her expression through the mask but the tone seems to be ridiculing him.

"This is my Ye family's territory what right do you have to stand there blocking my way?" Ye Han is annoyed now because he can sense the two old farts coming this way.

"My brother is breaking through, I'm gonna have to be rude and ask you to return. Amelia took a stance.

"Are you saying you will fight me? What a joke, with your level 3 qi refining realm are you worthy?" The youth asked her, his sharp eyebrows dancing in irritation.

"Only one way to find out." Amy doesn't sound concerned at all.

Ye Han snorted and pulled out his sword and attacked. The man has a very good movement technique and in a fraction of a second he is already infront of her. Amelia didn't block his attack but nimbly moved her upper body out of the way.

The action is less likely and even difficult to pull off but it is the best way to not give away the initiative while also retaining the original position. While he attacked she used the most basic saber attack and slashed with the strength of her upper body as she came back to her position.

"Ummm..." The saber felt the master's battle Intent and hummed softly. It is not a spirit weapon but it has been nourished with her saber intent for almost a year now.

The young man seems to be in his early twenties and well equipped. A charm bracelet shattered and fell to the ground. Ye Han became stunned. If the protection charm reacted it means that strike was supposed to kill him. He quickly retreated far away from her.

"You..." So angry. A protection charm with a solid barrier is worth many spirit stones. Not to mention it was a gift from his aunt. There is a shortage of artisers these days, having lost an important artifact his father will surely beat him up.

Amelia resumed her previous position and waited. The first foundation establishment realm senior came forth. "Who are you? Did you steal my treasure?" The old man released a powerful aura making Amelia suffocate. She took a pill that will let her be in late stage foundation establishment realm for 5 hours.

It was amazing she could pick up the ingredients for this pill in her own territory back then. After taking the pill, her level kept rising making the old man stunned. The level stopped at late stage foundation establishment realm and didn't move forward.

Amelia made a few movements with her saber showing how skilled she is with it. The after images made by the saber in the air gave the old a suffocating apprehension.

The pressure she exudes unconsciously made the old man uncomfortable. Still, he is glad she did not form a golden core on the spot. "Hhmph...late stage foundation? What's so special about it?"

The old man attacked, he took out a heavy sword and clashed at Amelia in the air. The collusion created a small area under them with destroyed trees and broken stones. Ye Han became horrified his face became pale as he hurriedly ran away.

The fight is happening in the air so the old man had thought that since this little huss has no experience with fighting in the air she will need time to adjust and that is when he will kill her in one move but unexpectedly she didn't need this and directly gave him an open chest wound.

Amelia staggered back and spat out blood but her internal organs had already started healing themselves. She didn't want to waste time so she used the saber Intent and opened the man's stomach after 8 moves. The man started bleeding but he still looked like he wants to fight so she destroyed his dominant arm.

When the other man came, it was just Amelia and the two peole on the ground. She stood in the air with a bloodly saber waiting for the man. "A little girl? Old Ze did you really get beat up by a young child?" The man seemed to be in a good mood.

"There is no treasure here, my senior brother is activating his innate talent. Please leave and not disturb him." Amelia said to this old man because he gave her an endless amount of pressure.

"I don't believe you little girl. Perhaps your brother is consuming a treasure that is why he is breaking through on the spot? Maybe if I stop him there may still be something left for me." The man said looking towards Amelia.

She had known it was useless to reason with people who think there is treasure for their cultivation. She was just giving it a try. Amelia took a stance and her saber Intent soared.

"Then elder, please forgive this junior for being rude." She took a healing pill and an open wound on her thigh closed, she is saving her plant healing power for when the fight is over. She used the light element movement technique and hacked at the old man.

The old man just tapped the saber lightly and the trajectory of the attack went to the side of him. The staff in his hand suffered a little. Seeing his staff like this, his eyes flashed as he looked at her saber closely. "Little girl, is that intent? Not bad...let this old man examine it closely."

The man took a stance and his entire aura changed and became sharp. Amelia can feel the air around her being pulled under the man's control. Now she knows why he is using a staff, it can balance and command the wilfull nature in the air element. This old man has air spirit root.

Amelia became serious the next moment she released her power, the plants around them felt her and a green light shone from her eyes. She attacked with lightning speed only aiming for the vital points but the man is a wind element spirit root, matching her speed is not a problem for him.

His long staff is sharp on the sides and it doesn't seem like it is heavy in his hands as he uses it with expertise. All of Amelia's attacks are blocked, when they finally separate, they both used the elements in their disposal. Amelia released her vines and let them float behind here like sharp spider tarsus the ends covered in sharp wooden tips.

Her aura became fierce and she seems ready to kill this man with all her power. The next attacks from the staff are coupled with wind blades. Amelia has to keep dodging them as she attacks him in return. A few while later, Amelia's body is full of cuts some deep some are not but her blood is flowing out.

The old man is full of stab wounds and the saber has cut him on his left thigh. The would is bleeding profusely, the stab wounds are full of poison. The man dropped from the air standing on the ground using his staff so he doesn't fall.

Amelia has to keep the space lock in place so she couldn't risk using space blades. She came down as well, seeing the other old man on the verge of death she glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The two people looked at each other warily. The old man is not in a state to fight anymore so he just wants to take a few pills and recover before he bleeds to death. He had exerted too much spirit power in that fight, as a result even at his level he can't stop the bleeding. The area is full of blood stains but since they were fighting in the air it didn't destroy the trees that much after that initial collusion.

"There is a fight." The old man pointed at the direction where Blake is but Amelia didn't even turn around to take a look. She knows what is going on there, two young men are each fighting with her pets. They are not strong like this man so the robots can handle them.

The pets will not kill them as long as they don't force their way into the barrier. Amelia kept her eyes on the two injured men. She is also covered in deep cuts but she is a plant type spirit root. The old man saw her deep and life threatening wounds covered in a green light and disappear without leaving a scar. He gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Young lady, you shouldn't be overly domineering in someone else's territory right?"

"You came here and robbed us of our treasure, shouldn't you compensate the landlord?" The man continued seeing her ignoring his words.

"There is no such thing. The only treasure here is my brother's talent." Amelia said with a flat tone.

"Deceiving us won't do you any good." The man said but kept silent seeing her walk towards the other old man who seems to be dying.

"That old fart has a good granddaughter who is a rare water single spirit root and she is very powerful, if you kill him she will find and annihilate your entire family."

Amelia didn't pay him any attention and continued walking. She then extended her hand and a green light shot out mending the wounds of the man lying on the ground. The man had already passed out from blood loss.

Seeing Amelia healing the other man instead of killing him, the man is surprised. "Like I said, there is no treasure here." Amelia walked towards Blake with slightly unsteady steps.

It had been 3 hours and Blake is almost done. The heaven and earth storm has subsided and the man standing in the middle is finally revealed. Amelia didn't remove the barrier but everyone can see the large man inside the barrier. He is standing there in a daze his body has many cuts from the fight earlier and the storm has covered him in dirt.

The two youths are standing far away from the barrier because they had been beaten by the battle companion beasts and now they don't dare come close. Blake's eyes rescinded the glaring purple light and he fell unconscious. Amelia went inside the barrier and didn't have enough power to lift him up.

She teleported both of them, the battle pets and the dead animals to her home under the watchful eyes of four people. Not long after they disappeared the Qin family soldiers flew towards the same direction but only found five injured people.

.....

Two people are standing in the storm looking at a girl as she practiced her water dance in the rain. "She is so diligent. I hope she will be happier living in an orphanage than be in danger with the rest of us." The man looked at the girl who is imitating a dance she saw from the performers in the street.

"We need to go back before someone tracks us here and finds her." A woman said with a deep sad voice.

"You are doing the right thing letting her stay with mortals, we may not survive the calamity and if she is with us she will suffer a fate worse than death because of her aptitude." The woman said to comfort him seeing her husband's regret.

"I love our daughter and wish for her to be happy. That is all I want." The man said and took the woman away after taking one last look at the dancing girl. He shook his head thinking just because it is called a water dance doesn't mean it should be practiced in the rain. What a silly girl.

Amelia woke up with a start, her memory clear. Those are her biological parents in the last life. She had cried thinking she was unloved and unwanted as a baby which is why she was sent to live in the orphanage.

But today she just found out she was loved it was a dangerous situation so she couldn't stay with her parents. Amelia meditated as a huge burden lifted off her heart.

As an orphan she had carried herself with a sense of inferiority deep in her heart. This was probably why it was easy for her to be tricked all those years. Amelia had taken a medicine that harms her foundation so she went into seclusion to fix herself.

She didn't forget to take the golden fruit to get rid of any lingering aftermath left by forcefully increasing her strength. The process can not be rushed so she didn't come out of the space once she went in for a few months.

....B base.

After the attack at that time, many people had lost their lives so the base had suffered casualties but if not for Amelia's timely help, they would have suffered even more. The Wei brothers are very grateful to her.

Zhou An has increased her status in the base as someone who has 18 000 soldiers with a little over 11 thousand ability users she holds considerabke power in the base.

Currently they are in a meeting to select the group that will participate in the Qin family ceremony at that time. The zombie attack had made the base suffer casualties so people are reluctant to give up this chance to make a connection with the all powerful Qin family.

Zhou An is not very interested in this little competition what she wants is the land on the east of the territory she is occupying. After she gave the base knowledge about green moss, she demanded they give her this plot of land but the future base leader seems to have a problem with it.

"Miss Zhou An, it is not that I don't want to give you but that land has already been distributed to someone else." Wei Lin said with a very innocent face.

An'er looked at the smug expression on Liang Mei's face and understood. Amelia told her she will help her leave this place if it's get too much. Amelia is now in short of a sizable army like this, she is not will ing to let it be picked off one by one in the hands of a foolish base leader and his vengeful girlfriend.

Zhou An remembered Amelia saying to her. "Nothing says I love you like a thousand corpses at your feet. If Liang Mei starts killing off your people, she won't stop until you are completely ruined. Cut your losses and come home."

"If she has the future base leader backing her, there is nothing you can do to her." Amelia has said to her as she showed her pictures of both the Jiangkang base and the Island base asking her to choose.

Amelia may have wanted to mess with her sister but she is not willing to lose so much in return. Tha is hurting yourself 1000 just to hurt the enemy 800.

One of the nights Zhou An lost half of her food supply but luckily she has a lot of fasting pills so they did not starve. But that was just the beginning, some of her men went out but never returned. It has happened more than four times already.

Her people are beginning to regret joining her camp. She is just a young girl after all and she has never thought Mei would involve innocent people lives in their fight. She is tired dealing with problems all day long and now even the future base leader is dating Liang Mei and takes her side all the time.

She spoke to a shadow guard from Jiangkang base and he showed her all the places in the two bases, they are beautiful, clean and most importantly it is very morden. She is very interested in going there.

After Liang Mei broke up with her ex fiance she was delighted and even felt like she won.

But not long after that, her privileges kept being cut one after another. On the surface she is the goddess who led soldiers to battle against the zombie army but others know that she is being bullied by the nemesis who has joined forces with the future base leader.

Looking at the two people she can't help but smile, a genuine smile. Had it not been for Liang Mei being against her all this time, she would have never been where she is at this time. "I understand your worries mr Wei and I want to tell you that since you have made it clear whose side you're on I have also made my decision." She looked at her bracelet and saw a text message she had been waiting for.

Wei Lin began to have a bad feeling. He had agreed to suppress Zhou An these weeks because she is getting strong faster than expected. If she is allowed to get even more power, she will soon be more powerful than his Wei family.

Seeing her smile at him with relief he is confused. Shouldn't she be angry and helpless at this point? Why does she seem to have expected his decision?

"Miss Zhou don't blame me, I also want to give you the land. It just..." He saw Zhou An stand up elegantly before he can finish his pretentious words and waved to the couple.

"It was nice knowing you Mr Wei, please don't send me off." She walked out with her back straight and an unyielding posture. She doesn't seem like someone who had just lost a battle.

Did she say that it was nice knowing him? Is she leaving the base? Wei Lin jolted up from his seat and ran after Zhuo An. He might have wanted to suppress her but her army is still part of the B base's overall strength.

Infact, even her normal human soldiers are very powerful as if she has a way to improve their physical condition. He can schemed against her for so long because he wants her to share some of his secrets. Liang Mei gave him this idea, afterall this is the way she herself was made to hand over her army before.

"Miss Zhou wait a minute." He tried to catch up but only a shadow graced his eyes as she disappeared from his eyes after being engulfed by a man with shadow powers.

He stood there stunned. After regaining his bearings he ran towards her place of residence. Liang Mei also realized something is wrong and followed the flustered future base leader.

When they entered the place, they found it empty of furniture, supplies and most importantly there is not a single person. Just as they are confused, large trucks came in with furniture.

Zhou An's father seems to be moving in the property of his daughter. The place is more spacious and luxurious than any other place in the base. "Young leader, what brings you here?"

"Where is Zhou An?" Wei Lin asked with the last shred of hope.

"Her senior brother heard that she is being bullied here by her ex fiance and his new girlfriend so he asked her to come and live with him. Most importantly, that girl still wants to see the world and with that person's protection I don't have to worry about her safety." Zhou Ping said with a fond smile.

Wei Lin felt his knees become weak. 12 000 level 7 supernatural powers are all gone just like that. He turned around and left the residence. Zhou Ping is very much aware of what it means to lose over 10 000 supernatural powers with such high quality strength.

It has to be known that one of the men under his daughter can fight 4 regular ability users of the same level and win. The losses this time are immense. The little girl next to the base leader can also improve people's strength but compared to what his daughter can do it is somewhat lacking.

......

"Miss Zhou this is where your people are located. She is taken to one of the buildings in base. They are very big and spacious. Their group is no longer privy to jacuzzis but they are not complaining. This is because they are new here and the place given to them is not bad at all. Most importantly his soldiers don't have to bother her with every little thing. They are now under the army of the base.

"You are now one of the generals under Amelia and are therefore privy to the benefits of a general. This is all that you will get now, please take a look. Here is your space artifact it has all the resources allocated to you."

Zhou An became dazed after seeing the place and knowing that unlike before, her men will be provided for by the base and depending on their levels and contributions, their points will differ accordingly.

"Don't forget the training tomorrow morning at 5 Miss Zhou." Du Hong said with a smile. This girl is so beautiful. Can he date her? He really wants to.

"Yes thank you manager Hong."
