Chapter 55 Brother Dao is Gone
"Ah! Brother Dao is gone! Brother Dao is gone!" The little girl cried her heart out.
Xu Si couldn't hear it anymore. He had already turned off the vehicle completely and didn't dare to make a sound, so he had no chance to respond to the little girl's cries.
In his mind, the location of the tour guide flag was receding into the distance.
Beside me was the [Glacier Salamander] venting its fury, its tentacles lashing out in all directions as if it had gone mad.
Xu Si, being at the eye of the storm, is actually the safest.
"Brother Dao—answer me, Brother Dao!"
Xiao Luo's cries went unanswered on the walkie-talkie; Fu Xiaojian remained silent.
Along with Yao Yao, the cries of the three children in the convoy were carried away by the wind and snow on the snowy plain.
Su Su stared intently at the snow waves that appeared in her line of sight behind her, her fists clenched so tightly that her lips were bitten until they bled.
"I'll go back to meet him; Daozi might not be dead yet!" Even in the apocalypse, Tashan, this man from Shandong, still valued loyalty above all else.
"Don't stop! Keep going!" Fu Xiaojian's voice was hoarse.
Amidst sorrow and deathly silence, the convoy fled frantically into the depths of the snowfield.
……
At this moment, the "Messenger of Molten Wax" was identical to the tentacles of the surrounding glacial salamanders in both appearance and energy fluctuations.
Within the vast perception of the glacial salamander, the intruder suddenly "disappeared," or rather, became part of its body.
Countless cold tentacles covered in ice crystal shells brushed past and wrapped around the vehicle, but they only questioned this suddenly appearing "kindred spirit" and did not launch any attack.
Xu Si held his breath. Even though the system had purified his aura, he still dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Star Trail" is still being pushed to its limit; it would be even better if it could find the mysterious entity.
Even if he can't find it, once he gets tired of this eeriness, he can leave calmly and easily.
The car was deathly silent, except for the pounding of his own heart.
He did this not out of a sudden burst of maternal love, nor because he wanted to be a hero.
Instead, it's about achieving the greatest results with the least cost.
He can indeed purify the aura of the entire convoy, but the purification points he has painstakingly accumulated will be spent like water, and he can't maintain it for long without the possibility of being caught up by the strange entity.
Moreover, he wasn't sure if this eerie creature hiding beneath the ice could sense the convoy's movement across the ice and continue the pursuit.
The best way is for him to use himself as bait to lure them away, and see if he can harvest another wave of loot.
He observes the outside world through "eyes" made of high-strength transparent material.
This guy hasn't given up yet.
This place seems to have become a terrifying nest made up of countless white worms.
He felt as if he were inside a giant, living glacial blood vessel. All around him were constantly contracting and relaxing ice crystal muscle fibers.
After a moment's thought, Xu Si actually stepped out of the mouthparts of the mimicking 'Ice Erosion Salamander'.
The glacial salamander was right beneath his feet.
[Level 2 Mysterious Detection - Glacial Salamander]
【Characteristics: Cluster Awareness, Extreme Cold Domain, Ice Crystal Proliferation】
[We strongly recommend staying away from this place immediately!!!]
It really was it!
Xu Si felt a chill run down his spine.
A flash of blood-red light appeared in his eyes, and the energy of Sequence 2 began to quietly gather.
I don't know if it will work out!
Xu Si held a sword in his left hand, while his right hand condensed the Starburst, and a heart-pounding pulse emanated from beneath his feet.
The enormous creature seemed unaware that an uninvited guest had appeared on its back.
Xu Si took a deep breath, activated his Starshine Protection, and slammed his right Starburst directly onto the ice field beneath his feet.
boom--!!!
The compressed stellar energy poured into the ice beneath his feet, and a burst of blood-red light erupted from beneath the ice! A massive collapse zone instantly appeared beneath Xu Si's feet.
"Hiss—!!!"
"It's here after all!"
Within the star-like pupils, the enormous and hideous form of the glacial salamander appeared before its eyes.
The raging energy lines were clearly visible under the dual lock of his star pupils and star orbits.
"Seiya"
The moment its tentacles lashed out, Xu Si's left hand wielded the [Sword of Punishment], which was already shooting towards the energy convergence point of the Glacier Salamander.
A howl, far more piercing and painful than any previous screech, came from the depths of the snowfield, and the entire snowfield churned violently as if boiling!
As Xu Si landed, the violent energy that had been re-condensed in his right hand was pressed directly onto the Glacier Salamander's body.
Although this starburst did not contain much power, it completely tore the behemoth to shreds from the inside.
[Purify Level 2 Mysterious Creature - Glacier Salamander, Purification Points +2800]
[Strange item detected: Ice Heart]
Become!
Xu Si was overjoyed, but his expression changed drastically in an instant.
Although the Glacier Salamander was killed by him in one blow, the countless tentacles that had lost the control of the main body did not die immediately. Instead, they went into a final frenzy because of the destruction of the core!
Like severed earthworms, they writhed and thrashed violently across the snowfield, stirring up waves of snow. The tentacles in the collapsed area where Xu Si was located seemed even more frenzied.
Several of the thick tentacles slammed down indiscriminately towards Xu Si's location!
After several consecutive starbursts, Xu Si is now struggling to even operate a star orbit!
Fortunately, the Wax Melting Messenger also fell into the pit with him. Xu Si didn't even have time to retrieve the Sword of Punishment before he crawled back into the Wax Melting Messenger's mouth.
What followed was the relentless lashing of those tentacles.
This time, those tentacles didn't care about aura or target; they just lashed out aimlessly.
Xu Si watched helplessly as the vehicle's armor durability visibly decreased.
Fortunately, these tentacles did not last long, and were shattered by striking each other, turning into a sky full of snow mist.
At this point, the armor durability of the "Wax Melter" had dropped to 15%.
If he keeps smoking for a while, this "melting wax messenger" will fall apart.
Xu Si searched the bottom of the pit for a while before finding his [Sword of Punishment] and the eerie object that had fallen there, gleaming with a deep blue light.
"Mimicry! Return!"
It took another half hour for the "wax-melting messenger" to finally emerge from the bottom of the cave.
Xu Si's mind raced, and the "Wax Melting Messenger" instantly broke free of its mimicry and reverted to its original model.
He darted into the car, and the door slammed shut.
The "Melting Wax Messenger" roared, smashing through the surrounding ice shards and bursting out of the dead zone!
The snowfield gradually returned to calm, with only the wrecked battlefield and huge craters bearing witness to the thrilling escape and counterattack that had just taken place.
Xu Si looked back, still feeling lingering fear.
Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily; unexpectedly, those tentacles almost left him there.
[Current remaining purification points: 6300]
[Mysterious Drop Found: Ice Heart]
This thing is really valuable; it gave me 300 more purification points than the Wax-Megium.
The 2500 from the Wax-Melting Behemoth, the 2800 from this guy, the 800 from the Ice-Eroded Salamander, plus the purification points from the previous fish-catching harvest.
Although upgrading his vehicle cost him a lot of money and purifying his aura cost him another hundred, his purification points have now reached 6300.
Indeed, the risks and rewards are directly proportional.
In that case, wouldn't he be able to drink the "Sequence Enhancement Potion" like water?
However, the thought of that feeling made him somewhat reluctant to try it.
