Chapter 426 Brother Dao is still the fastest
The cabin was noisy for a moment, with some people congratulating, some expressing envy, and others sighing.
The shock caused by Lin Zhennan's advancement to Sequence 4 only gradually subsided after everyone had looked away.
Inside the cockpit
Xu Si's attention remained focused on the core of the star.
At this moment, the stardust core in his palm had been worn away by the star core, leaving only a core the size of a soybean that was still slowly rotating.
The sequence progress has climbed to 5.47%.
Xu Si suddenly realized a problem.
Does the fact that the system does not provide potions mean that potions for promotion to higher ranks have lost their meaning?
The transition from Sequence 6 to Sequence 7 might not be achieved through medicine, combat, or any external force, but rather through the growth of the star core itself.
Is the growth limit of the star core the same as the limit of the sequence?
Does this mean that his next path will no longer be about conquering external forces, but about seeking answers within himself?
And those high-level, strangely dropped star power cores are the best nourishment for star cores.
He opened his eyes and looked through the porthole at the dark red horizon in the distance.
Perhaps it really is time to leave.
Outside the porthole, the clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the sunlight from the blood-red sun was cut into countless tiny spots of light, which fell on the cabin walls like a flowing galaxy.
The engine of the Nirvana emitted a deep, steady, and powerful hum, giving everyone a strong sense of security.
The lunch provided by Nirvana also exceeded everyone's expectations; they had originally planned to eat compressed biscuits.
I never imagined that Nirvana would be this intelligent.
"Is it... still warm?"
Jiao Jiao held the plate, her eyes wide open, her little face filled with disbelief.
The tray contained a standard airline meal: a rice bowl with beans and luncheon meat, and even a small bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, which tasted like instant noodles.
Steam rose from the food, condensing into a white mist in the cool cabin air.
"You've learned to cook with just a car?" Sausage was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.
This doesn't seem like the kind of treatment one would expect in the apocalypse.
"Enjoy your meal, everyone!" Nirvana's voice rang out in the cabin, as calm as ever, but with a hint of joy.
The atmosphere in the cabin instantly became lively because of lunch.
Tashan squatted at the front of the bus with his tray in hand, shoveling rice into his mouth in twos and threes at a time. This meal was at least much better than the "rich and flavorful dry food French stew".
Yao Yao sat next to Wang Hu, carefully blowing on the small bowl before putting it in her mouth.
Mi Jia and Liang Hong huddled together, eating slowly, as if deliberately prolonging this rare moment of warmth.
"I almost don't want to land," Jiao Jiao said softly.
Su Su didn't say anything, but simply put half of the beans from her bowl onto her plate.
Outside the porthole, the clouds gradually thinned.
The blood-red sun slanted in from the west, its beauty almost otherworldly.
The portholes were crowded with people admiring the sunset.
Xu Si's gaze fell on the navigation panel, as they got closer and closer to the Guangming team.
"Commander, abnormal energy fluctuations detected ahead, suspected to be strange! Strength: 5, Group: 3, approaching our position." Nirvana's voice suddenly rang out.
The noise in the cabin stopped abruptly, and everyone straightened up and got ready.
Three heads, level five, eerie?
Before the apocalypse, this was a terrifying force capable of destroying a medium-sized shelter.
But there was little fear on the faces of anyone present.
They simply looked towards the cockpit. Although they couldn't see Xu Si, they knew that the convoy's anchor was there.
"Activate the defense module?" Nirvana asked.
"No need."
Xu Si stood up, his spatial cloak silently unfolding behind him.
"Keep on course, I'll be right back."
The cockpit door opens upwards like a fighter jet cockpit.
Xu Si's figure floated out of the cabin door, like a fallen leaf lifted by the wind, and disappeared from the view of the porthole in an instant.
No one spoke in the cabin.
Jiao Jiao leaned against the porthole, her small face almost pressed against the transparent armor plating, her eyes fixed on the sky outside.
Then they saw it.
Three streaks of gray-white energy shot out from the horizon at incredible speed, leaving three long trails in the blood-red sun.
It was a three-headed, eerie creature resembling a manta ray, with a wingspan of over thirty meters. Its entire body was covered in a grayish-white soft shell, and countless tiny tentacles on its abdomen danced in the air like wriggling seaweed.
They suddenly slowed down about two kilometers from Nirvana, as if they had sensed some terrifying aura.
But it was too late.
A dark red light descended from above them, as if it had suddenly emerged from space.
That wasn't light, it was a sword.
Xu Si's [Sword of Punishment].
The moment the sword pierced the back of the first manta ray, a crimson light exploded from the blade, like a small sun bursting forth within the eerie creature's body.
Before the manta ray could even utter a hiss, its massive body disintegrated into countless grayish-white fragments in mid-air, which were scattered by the strong winds high above.
Purification Points: +16000
The system notification flashed through my mind.
The remaining two manta rays changed direction almost simultaneously, their thirty-meter wingspans making an unbelievable sharp turn in the air, attempting to escape this deadly airspace.
But Xu Si didn't give them a chance.
The star field unfolded silently, and the spherical space with a radius of 100 meters suddenly froze.
The two manta rays were like insects frozen in amber, their wings stiff and frozen in mid-air, their whiskers unable to twitch even slightly.
Xu Si raised his left hand, palm down.
The sword of punishment fell again, piercing straight through both of the strange creatures.
There was no explosion, no shockwave, and not even much energy leakage this time.
The bodies of the two manta rays, like pencil drawings erased by an eraser, gradually dissipated into the air, starting from their heads.
It's as if it never existed.
Purification Points: +32000
[Remaining Purification Points: 244700]
[Obtained bizarre drops: Bat Wings, Manta Tentacles, Blood Fangs]
Xu Si stored the three strange items that had fallen into his dimensional space, then turned and flew back to Nirvana.
From leaving to returning, it took no more than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
The cockpit door closed, and the strong wind stopped.
The cabin was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Brother Dao is still faster!" Yao Yao said innocently.
The group looked at each other in disbelief. Those were three level-five bizarre creatures!
When did Sequence 6 become so strong?
Oh, I forgot, they seem to have only ever seen Xu Si, a Sequence 6.
Understanding Xu Si is understanding Sequence 6.
Considering Xu Si's past domineering behavior, it wasn't surprising.
"Get ready, these might be from the Bright Caravan? They might be in trouble!"
This was just Xu Si's guess, but they were indeed not far from the Bright Car Team.
Xu Si's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the cabin tense.
Fu Xiaojian stood up from his seat, walked to the porthole, and looked at the distant horizon obscured by clouds.
"You mean, the Bright Caravan was subjected to these strange attacks?"
"Uncertain, but possible."
This was the first level-five bizarre group they had encountered traveling together.
You should know that when they first met the crows, the crows were already fighting to the death with their own kind.
The strange creatures rarely gather without the "cluster" tag, since none of them want to become the other's prey.
As for whether they discovered Nirvana, that's possible, but Xu Si thought it was unlikely.
Because those three strange creatures did not come straight towards Nirvana.
It was more like they were just passing by and were passively drawn into Nirvana's exploration area.
