I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 148 - Sandstorm Control


“Someone found me.”The Dwarf Man’s body trembled, and he unhesitatingly released his Spiritual Energy User ability. The earthy-yellow Spiritual Energy User energy was like a drilling machine, penetrating deep into the soil to excavate an underground tunnel for him.The Dwarf Man held the Elf Star and jogged along the tunnel. As he ran, the ground behind him continuously collapsed, blocking the path of his pursuers.“Damn, you’re a digger~”Qin Tian looked at the tunnel filled with earth and couldn’t help but shake his head.His Sand Control talent was not as good as the Dwarf Man’s when it came to digging tunnels; this guy might specialize in it.Of course, as long as he had a hunting mark on him, the Dwarf Man’s location would always be within his Perception .He could directly catch him through the Black Gate.However, this time Qin Tian decided to try a different approach.He invested 4000 evolution points into the Sand Control talent.The next moment, the talent light orb vibrated slightly, rapidly transforming from green to blue.【Name】Sandstorm Control (Blue)【Type】Active Skill【Introduction】You can control sand and soil, transforming flowing sand into various forms. Under your control, sand is no longer inanimate matter but your most powerful magical weapon, capable of changing the tide of battle in an instant.A mysterious feeling emerged in his heart. Qin Tian’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he suddenly clenched his single hand, whispering softly:“Sandstorm~ Vortex~”Boom!With this deep and powerful shout, it was as if an invisible command spread throughout the entire space. The previously quiet sand instantly became agitated, wildly gathering from all directions.First, a small amount of sand began to spin, then more and more sand joined in, forming a massive vortex. The vortex spun faster and faster, growing larger and larger, emitting a deafening roar.“What’s that sound?”The Dwarf Man heard the commotion behind him and felt even more nervous.The next moment, the sand behind him, beneath his feet, and even all around him, began to flow uncontrollably, like stirred muddy water.Not good!The Dwarf Man’s face changed dramatically. His Spiritual Energy User energy was released as if it were worthless, desperately trying to stabilize the surrounding sand.However, the Sandstorm vortex had already formed, and all struggles were futile. Boom!!The sand collapsed, like a mudslide, instantly engulfing the Dwarf Man and the Elf Star.A few minutes later, a bulge broke through the ground. Qin Tian, holding the two, burst out of the earth. Both of them were filthy, as if they had taken a mud bath.But under his deliberate control, the Elf Star girl was only a bit dirty and not crushed by the mud, but the Dwarf Man was miserable; he had more than a dozen broken bones and a heavy blow to the back of his head, now unconscious.“Hehe, now that I’ve caught them, I’d like to see what kind of explanation you can come up with.”Qin Tian, holding the two, seemed to have thought of something, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.“None!”“None!”“Ailong, I don’t have anything on my side either!”The Elf Star gathered around Ailong, their faces full of anxiety.They knew that the longer they delayed, the slimmer their chances of rescuing Qiya would be.Ailong clenched his fists, his heart feeling as if it were being roasted, and sweat beads covered his forehead.Why, why /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ can’t they find Qiya and that Dark Elf? Where did they go?“Ailong! Ailong!”Just then, a joyful shout came from the sky.An Elf Star girl was seen riding an eagle, her face full of joy:“Qiya has been found!”What!Ailong and the nearby Elf Star trembled, then showed expressions of ecstasy.“Qiya!”“Qiya!”The Elf Star called out to Qiya with all their might, but found that Qiya couldn't wake up.“Qin, what’s going on?”Ailong turned to Qin Tian and asked, “How did you find Qiya?”Qin Tian glanced out of the corner of his eye, seeing the Gloomy Man looking at him with hostile eyes. He smiled faintly inside and said:“Actually, it’s nothing. I thought the Dark Elves were very cunning and might leave misleading signals when they left, so I looked in the opposite direction, and unexpectedly, I really found someone.”So that’s how it is!Ailong suddenly realized that he had been too anxious just now, completely led by others. If it weren't for Qin Tian, they would have forever lost their beloved Qiya.“Qin, thank you.”Ailong imitated human etiquette, his tone sincere, and bowed to Qin Tian to express his gratitude to Qin Tian.The proud Elf Star bowing to a human was an incredible sight in the eyes of many Spiritual Energy User.However, the Elf Star were not surprised by this.Qiya was a child of the Golden Oak Tribe, their kin, friends, and family. They couldn't imagine how much pain and torment Qiya would endure after being abducted by the Dark Elves.The human rescued Qiya, and also saved an Elf Star family.He was worthy of Ailong’s bow.“It’s a small matter!”Qin Tian waved his hand, then chuckled:“But there’s one thing I think I must tell you.”“In the process of rescuing Qiya, I didn’t see any Dark Elves. It was this man who was carrying Qiya and running.”What!!!The Elf Star and the surrounding humans widened their eyes, then they realized something and looked at the Gloomy Man in unison. Being watched by so many eyes, the Gloomy Man completely panicked. He pointed at Qin Tian and shouted:“Impossible, he’s lying! I saw with my own eyes the Dark Elves taking them away, and these injuries on me were also caused by the Dark Elves.”“I’m lying?”Qin Tian smiled, “I’m the one who rescued them. If there really were Dark Elves, why would I hide their existence? What good would it do me?”That’s right!Everyone nodded in agreement, highly approving of Qin Tian’s statement.If there truly were Dark Elves, then Qin Tian bringing the two back would mean he must have killed the Dark Elves.This was a great deed.A Dark Elf corpse could be exchanged for how many treasures from the Golden Oak Tribe? He had no reason to conceal it at all.It was clear who was lying.Many experienced mercenaries had already guessed the Gloomy Man’s scheme.He’s really bold, trying to abduct an Elf Star girl. Even if he could abduct her, how would he leave Elf Star? That’s a big problem.Could it be that he had already established connections with the army?If that were the case, then this matter would be far too deep.They had to stay far away to avoid getting burned. Ailong said no more and raised his hand to shoot an arrow at the Gloomy Man.The Gloomy Man rolled to dodge, but the next moment, another arrow directly pierced his calf, puncturing the bone and making him cry out in pain.Swish swish swish~~The nearby Elf Star quickly stepped forward, placing a wooden sword at the Gloomy Man’s neck. If he made any move, they would take his life.Seeing this, the Gloomy Man stopped struggling. He looked at Qin Tian with venomous eyes, his voice filled with unwillingness and anger:“Qin Tian, busybodies never come to a good end. Just wait, you will die a miserable death.”Meeting those hateful eyes, Qin Tian’s lips slowly curved upward.“Is that so? Then I’ll have to wait and see.”
