Chapter 331 Su Su's Promotion
The crocodile monster escaped.
They fled decisively, without any warning.
One second it was directing the remaining monsters to launch a frantic counterattack, and the next second it abandoned its kind who were still struggling on the hill without hesitation, sinking alone into the depths of the torrent and disappearing into the murky ocean in an instant.
Xu Si did not give chase.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.
In this flood, that guy is the true overlord.
All he could do was memorize the characteristics of that energy fluctuation and the mockery and sarcasm in those cold eyes when they looked at him for the last time.
It will come back.
Xu Si had this intuition.
Like true apex predators, they will never allow their prey to leave their territory unscathed.
On the hilltop, the Crocodile Demon, which was tightly bound by Jiang Li's "Chain of Torture" and frantically strangled by Chen Pei's two giant pythons, finally lost all its strength under the double suppression.
Its unwilling roar was completely swallowed in its throat, turning into a puddle of mist and disappearing.
There were eight strange creatures in total. Xu Si killed two of them, and Chen Pei killed one.
The Crocodile Demon, along with the remaining four strange creatures and Pei Xiu's corpse, vanished completely.
The battlefield on the hill has fallen completely silent.
The monstrous creature that was slain vanished into nothingness, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Only the spot where Pei Xiu disappeared, and a few patches of muddy water stained with blood, proved that the brief battle just now was not an illusion.
"Elder Pei..."
Lin Zhennan knelt in the rain, covered in mud, his face stiff.
In that instant, if Pei Xiu hadn't risked her life to push him away, he might be the one who would be dead right now.
In fact, he was already prepared to die.
But they weren't prepared for others to sacrifice for them.
In the apocalypse, it's already quite difficult to avoid owing anyone anything.
He never imagined he could sacrifice himself for others.
Because he himself cannot do it, let alone others.
Hinata Aoi stood not far away, holding a large umbrella, the surface of which was splattered with black blood.
She lowered her head, so her expression was not visible, and even her usual indifference was evident at this moment.
"Team Leader Lin." Hinata Aoi walked over, holding a large umbrella.
The umbrella shielded Lin Zhennan from the torrential rain pouring down on his head.
She didn't say anything to comfort her; she just stood there, silently shielding herself from the rain.
The massive body of the tower slowly contracted, its six tentacles drooping limply, as if it were sighing and unsure how to cope.
"Come back! Brother Fu wants you all to come back and tighten the defenses!"
The voice of Xiao Luo echoed in everyone's minds.
Fu Xiaojian had witnessed the entire battle just now. Although the result was brutal, the fact that the team was able to achieve something despite being surrounded by a group of level 4 monsters was enough to demonstrate the team's strength.
As for sacrifice, that is always inevitable.
There will always be strong ones, but there will always be stronger ones.
Characters like the "Lou Mi Wang" and the "Bing Mian Zhe" are just a few examples of the many bizarre creatures capable of annihilating a caravan.
Moreover, there was no time for them to continue being sad.
The end times will not sympathize with the strong, much less with the weak.
Given its strange mindset, it's possible it might abandon them and attack the convoy instead.
The group gradually regrouped towards the convoy and began to defend themselves.
Jiang Li then tossed a snow-white object to Xu Si.
That was the strange creature that the two of them had killed, and Xu Si secretly sighed in regret.
Finally, the strange creature he killed fell into the torrent.
He also had to compensate Jiang Liping for the strange item that had fallen from his hands, at the very least.
Even if he were heartless, he couldn't just keep it for himself. As for the item that Chen Pei received, he would naturally have to share it equally with Jiang Li.
Xu Si is considering how to make it up to Jiang Li.
He was at least reluctant to let the bizarre fall happen.
Why don't we give her a strengthening potion while we have enough purification points?
……
Fu Xiaojian stood beside the Mengshi vehicle, his face grim beneath his raincoat. He hadn't expected the convoy to stumble here.
He looked at Xu Si not far away, his eyes filled with a questioning look.
Under the intense headlights, Xu Si shook his head slightly.
That level 5 eerie aura has completely disappeared, at least temporarily.
"Set up camp," Fu Xiaojian finally gave the order.
"Everyone stay in the car and do not act alone. Xiao Luo, keep the psionic barrier active."
The torrential rain continued unabated, showing no signs of stopping.
The team was no different because of one less person.
The biggest difference is that everyone is experiencing the cruelty of the apocalypse again.
In the blink of an eye, a Sequence 3 was reduced to nothingness.
In the apocalypse, low-order sequences are nothing more than slightly stronger cannon fodder.
The convoy remained completely silent under the cover of Xiao Luo's [Psionic Barrier].
Staying put wasn't a wise move, but the convoy had nowhere else to go.
The area was surrounded by water, so the convoy had no way to move.
Jiao Jiao is helping each of the injured people recover.
Inside the bus, Lin Zhennan also fell into a brief daze, while Qi Dai and the other two squeezed into the back row, none of them speaking.
Throughout the journey, Pei Xiu's care for them wasn't exactly devoted, but she has protected them until now.
They felt somewhat grateful to Pei Xiu.
Mu Qingqing's eyes were red, and Gu Momo buried her face in her shoulder. They hadn't expected everything to change so quickly.
Fang Bo clutched his sword, shrinking into his seat like a frightened hedgehog.
He had seen the fight clearly through the car window.
Those bizarrely enormous things, those extraordinary life-or-death struggles, and Pei Xiu's resolute decision in the final moment.
Jiang Li leaned against the back of the carriage, her eyes closed, her face deathly pale.
Clearly, a Sequence 3 consecutively restricting two Level 4 anomalies is not as easy as it seems.
The three of them, including Doubao, did not dare to disturb her, and each of them carefully cast concerned and admiring glances at her.
They just saw clearly that Teacher Jiang caught two strange creatures, and they were huge strange creatures at that.
"I'm fine!" Having regained some of her energy, Jiang Li opened her eyes and smiled at them.
The battle just now had almost depleted most of her sequence energy.
Only then did she turn her gaze to Xu Si's car outside the window.
Meanwhile, Su Su was also in poor condition in Jiao Jiao's chariot.
However, her bad situation is a different matter.
Su Su leaned back against the back of the chariot seat, closed her eyes, and breathed as steadily as if she were asleep.
Jiao Jiao was not in the tank at the time; he was in the bus bandaging Tashan's wounds.
The entire space was so quiet that only the dense sound of the torrential rain hitting the car roof could be heard, as if savoring the aftertaste of the battle that had just taken place.
Su Su leaned back in her chair, her eyes closed. Sweat or rainwater slid down her cool cheeks, wetting the stray hairs on her forehead. She remained motionless, as if lost in some deep meditation.
If Jiao Jiao were here right now, she would definitely scream in surprise.
Because Su Su's body is undergoing some extremely subtle, yet essential, change.
The golden light that originally needed to be actively activated was now seeping uncontrollably from under every inch of her skin, like a very thin, flowing veil enveloping her entire body.
The golden light was not dazzling, but rather as gentle as the rising sun.
But deep within Su Su's consciousness, the scene was quite different.
She stood amidst an endless expanse of white.
There was no solid ground beneath my feet, no sky above my head; all around me was pure, yet real, nothingness.
It's like being inside a 3D video.
This is the "testing ground" deep within the origin of the sequence.
It was the ultimate question she had to face alone as she pushed her way to the median sequence.
Su Su didn't know what this meant.
Her current consciousness is very similar to Xu Si's at that time, seemingly in a state of relative chaos.
Everything depended on her instinctual sequence.
I was drinking on the night of February 2.17th, so I owe one chapter. If I have time, I'll update another chapter; otherwise, that's fine.
Happy New Year everyone! I also recommend watching "Pegasus 3." It's above average, with no dull moments, and much better than that other movie I saw!
