Chapter 31 The Mystery of the Intangible
But it doesn't matter!
He got out of the car and tried swinging the Sword of Punishment. The blade sliced through the air, emitting a deep hum, and a feeling of complete control arose within him, as if the sword were an extension of his body.
"Let's see how it goes..."
His gaze swept across the outside of the car and locked onto a rock that was half-buried in the soil.
Xu Si got out of the car, walked to the rock, took a deep breath, and swung his sword down!
laugh!
The blade pierced the rock as easily as cutting tofu, and a flash of dark green light disappeared in an instant.
The cut surface of the rock turned gray and brittle at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if all life had been instantly drained away, and the cut was unusually smooth, showing an astonishing sharpness.
This is completely different from the previous Sword of Judgment.
"What a fine sword!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
This is just a normal attack. If it triggers a critical hit from [Judgment], or even a finishing move, how terrifying would its power be?
"Brother Dao! What good stuff are you tinkering with again?" The little girl Jiao Jiao's voice came from afar. She ran over curiously, her eyes immediately drawn to the [Sword of Punishment] in Xu Si's hand.
"Wow! This is your knife... uh, sword? What happened to it?"
"It's nothing, just some maintenance," Xu Si said, flipping his wrist to sheathe the sword and pouring a cup.
"You're kidding me! Who can change their appearance just by taking care of themselves?" Jiao Jiao pouted, but seeing that Xu Si didn't intend to say anything more, she didn't press him further, only muttering to herself.
"Being so secretive, he's not a good person... The convoy is about to leave, Brother Fu asked me to come and get you."
"Understood," Xu Si nodded, returned to the car, carefully wrapped the longsword in a piece of curtain, and placed it gently on the passenger seat.
Through the car window, Fu Xiaojian's command came through the loudspeaker: the convoy was about to depart.
Xu Si composed himself, and the engine roared to life.
The Land Rover narrowly won and smoothly merged into the traffic, following behind the convoy that had resumed its journey.
The enclosed cockpit effectively isolates the cockpit from external dust and some noise.
His gaze swept across the car's interior, where the brand-new instrument panel displayed the fuel level (approximately 35%) and battery level (12%, currently charging).
Experiencing the excellent performance of the hybrid system, a sense of inexplicable happiness arises spontaneously.
The fuel tank is sufficient for now; the next step is to upgrade the 'Sequence Enhancement Potion,' expand the cargo compartment, and upgrade the vehicle's power if possible.
It would be even better if the knife could be upgraded to a rare item!
Thinking about it this way, I really don't have enough purification points!
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, how's your new car? Does it have air conditioning?" The chattering voice of the little girl Jiao Jiao broke the silence of the convoy from the walkie-talkie.
Xu Si then realized what was happening and began to explore the knife's new functions again.
As the cold wind blew out, he felt completely at ease. Although it was probably the end of November, the weather was still not cold at all, which was quite unusual even though they were in the south.
However, after fiddling around for a while, he discovered that there was no hot air.
Don't even the old folks in the South get heated seats? If this were in Los Angeles, he'd freeze to death by now!
"It's alright, the cool breeze is refreshing." Xu Si replied lazily.
"Brother Dao, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam? You've got such a good vocabulary list!"
Xu Si's face darkened, and he decided to ignore the little girl.
"Brother Dao, do you want my dad's leftover battery?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child doesn't know any better!"
A familiar little girl's voice came through the walkie-talkie, but it was immediately interrupted by a man.
"Yes, but Brother Dao doesn't have many supplies right now. You can ask Brother Dao to exchange them when we get to the next supply point!" Xu Si thought for a moment and then said into the walkie-talkie.
At the same time, the strange feeling in his heart gradually subsided, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the [Sword of Punishment] in the passenger seat.
Are these strange objects really that amazing?
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, followed by Wang Hu's slightly choked voice: "Th...thank you, Brother Dao! I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble!"
Xu Si didn't respond further, but silently turned off the walkie-talkie.
The convoy continued along the abandoned road.
With the enclosed cockpit, Xu Si no longer had to eat dust or worry about sudden rain and fog.
He could even spare a portion of his mind to continuously gaze at the "Blood Sun" to improve his rank.
He could sense that he was getting a little closer to the bottleneck of Sequence 2.
But this small gap is like an insurmountable chasm.
Without sequence enhancement potions, relying solely on stargazing for cultivation is still too slow.
"We must get the purification points as soon as possible..." Xu Si muttered to himself.
Just as he was making his calculations, Fu Xiaojian's steed ahead suddenly slowed down and issued a warning through the convoy's public channel:
"Attention all personnel! There is a large-scale obstacle ahead. Stay alert and proceed quickly!"
Xu Si's spirits lifted, and he immediately sat up straight, his starry eyes narrowing as he looked ahead.
About a kilometer ahead, the once wide asphalt road was blocked by various abandoned vehicles, as if a chain-reaction car accident had occurred, and there was no passable path in sight.
"Old Fu, get off first, and take my roof!"
Tashan's voice came through the walkie-talkie. His rock armor could form rock armor on the front of the school bus, making it perfect for clearing the way.
"Everyone, please be careful!"
Fu Xiaojian's Warrior was taken off and replaced by a school bus. Of course, this had nothing to do with Xu Si's "narrow victory in the Land Rover"!
Su Su had already jumped onto the roof of the pickup truck, ready to defend herself at any moment.
Xu Si also placed one hand on the [Sword of Punishment].
The convoy slowly approached the obstacle course made up of various abandoned vehicles.
As the school bus struggled to clear the way, Xu Si finally saw the full scene: the rusted car body, broken glass, and dried stains gleamed ominously under the blood-red sun.
The air was filled with a strong smell of rust, a faint stench of decay, and an indescribable sense of oppression.
It wasn't some kind of bizarre attack on the convoy; it was more likely that the chain-reaction car accident was accidentally triggered by the arrival of the apocalypse.
Xu Si also saw human remains on several of the wrecked vehicles.
"Brother Shan, how far ahead is the traffic jam?" Jiao Jiao's voice carried a hint of unease over the walkie-talkie.
"I can't see the end of it, I'm cleaning it up."
The convoy moved slowly, and Tashan had already gotten out of the car to start clearing it. Even the school bus couldn't push aside the wreckage.
"My sequence senses are very 'turbid' here. There's more than one source of danger. Everyone be careful," Fu Xiaojian's words came through the walkie-talkie.
Xu Si had already noticed something unusual in the wreckage of those cars. The strange energy fluctuations were so clear in his star-like eyes, yet he couldn't see them clearly.
"Something's fishy!"
However, Ronaldinho gave the warning first, and then a psionic barrier covered the entire convoy.
What's even stranger than the bizarre is that no strange shadows can be seen in Xu Si's star pupils; only a strange and unique flow of energy can be observed.
You can see energy converging, but you can't see any physical entity.
This is a strange entity without a physical form.
