Chapter 95 Contact
Chapter 95 Contact
Xu Si's favorite thing is to match this kind of clumsy and strange creature, which allows him to make the most of his speed advantage like never before.
At the same time, it can hone his combat skills and also earn purification points. Apart from the blood mosquito, it is simply the most popular monster for him.
"roar--!"
The injured [Chiwei Shark Crocodile] went completely berserk, its massive body twisting wildly on the sand. Its three scorpion tails no longer followed any rules, lashing wildly at Xu Si's location like giant steel whips, stirring up sand and gravel everywhere. It even accidentally injured the strange creature that had been captured by the [Melting Wax Envoy] several times.
But all of this appears clumsy and slow under the prediction of "Star Trail".
Xu Si is like a leaf in a storm, always able to avoid the most fatal attack with the smallest movement at the last second.
His figure weaved through the swirling dust and menacing tail hooks, each dodge precise enough to send chills down your spine.
The crimson sword light of the [Sword of Punishment] would occasionally flash, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, precisely piercing the gaps in the carapace, or striking the joints, and even triggering several judgments.
However, none of these attacks were enough to cause fatal damage to the [Chi-tailed Shark Crocodile], which was intentional on Xu Si's part.
However, while these injuries were not immediately fatal, they made the [Shrike-tailed Shark Crocodile] increasingly sluggish, and its painful hisses became more and more ferocious.
"That's about it..."
Xu Si sensed the "satisfaction" pulse coming from the [Messenger of Molten Wax].
The first [Chi-tailed Shark Crocodile] struggled so weakly that it was almost negligible. Its massive body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, hanging limply on the front of the car.
The carapace had lost its luster, the three scorpion tails had long been devoured, and the massive body was covered with a layer of grayish-white wax, which seemed to be slowly being "absorbed" by the "chalk bone armor".
The dark red patterns on the [Messenger of Molten Wax] flickered like breathing, and the vehicle body seemed to have grown even larger, exuding a more heavy and fierce aura.
It seems we don't need this one for the time being.
Xu Si's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
He stopped simply pacing around and instead advanced, facing the massive tail hook that swept in once again!
With a burst of speed from his feet, his figure accelerated abruptly, almost skimming over the rough carapace. The Sword of Punishment traced a strange arc in his hand, and a point of blood-red starlight, condensed to its extreme, gathered at the tip of the sword—that was the enhanced application of "Seiya"!
"laugh--!"
The sword light, sharp as a needle, pierced with unparalleled precision into an extremely hidden energy node beneath the compound eye of the [Chi-Tail Shark Crocodile], a node that could only be detected by "Star Trails"!
This is an energy node that Xu Si has confirmed countless times during the entanglement!
"puff!"
[Purify Level 2 Mysterious Chi-tailed Shark Crocodile, Purification Points +2100]
[Current remaining purification points: 105470]
The [Chi-tailed Shark Crocodile] disintegrated instantly like a handful of sand, without any strange falling.
It's a pity, it would be great if he had a special ability like sword control.
At the same time, the [Wax Messenger] also completed its "devouring" of the first strange creature.
The massive crocodile-shaped outline at the front of the car has completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Only a faint, deep black pattern appeared on the chalk bone armor, as if adding a mysterious battle rune to this steel behemoth.
The vehicle seemed to have expanded slightly, and as it stopped on the sand, it resembled an ancient beast that had just finished a meal and was digesting and resting, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.
However, it still couldn't compare in size to the Flame Chariot in the distance. Although no purification points were gained, Xu Si was already very satisfied.
In the distance, the battle between the "Flame Chariot" and the remaining [Chi-Tailed Shark Crocodiles] was also nearing its end.
The steel behemoth, which resembled a mobile fortress, had clearly noticed the brief but efficient battle taking place.
Xu Si saw that on the side of the burning "island," behind a structure resembling an observation window, a gaze seemed to be projected onto him, making brief contact with his starry eyes through the billowing smoke and heat.
That gaze was intense and domineering, carrying undisguised scrutiny and a hint of...surprise?
Immediately, the flamethrower on top of the fortress roared again, this time unleashing a continuous fan-shaped jet of flame that forced back the last few [Chi-Tailed Shark Crocodiles] attempting to surround them, and the scorching wall of fire temporarily isolated the battlefield.
Fu Xiaojian's slightly hurried voice came through the "Messenger of Molten Wax" communicator.
"Old Xu, how's the situation?"
Xu Si glanced at the battlefield. There were still seven or eight Chi-tailed Shark Crocodiles left. Although they were forced back by the flames, they still lingered around the Flame Chariot. Their scarlet compound eyes were wary of the huge creature in front of them. Then, they all burrowed into the sand and fled into the distance.
This was the first time Xu Si had ever seen something strange take the initiative to back down; it seemed these guys weren't entirely unconscious.
"I've taken care of two here, and the strange creatures have temporarily retreated. I'll try to make contact with the people from the Blazing Chariots." Xu Si's voice came through the walkie-talkie, still calm.
"Please don't come over yet."
"Be careful!" Fu Xiaojian didn't disturb Xu Si any longer, and at the same time signaled Tashan and Su Su to be ready to provide support at any time.
Xu Si did not dispel the concealment effect of the [Empty Cloak], but he also did not choose to approach quietly.
He activated the "Melting Wax Messenger," and the crimson vehicle slowly emerged from the sandstorm, heading unabashedly towards the "Flaming Chariot."
It wasn't fast, but it carried a confident, even provocative, attitude.
He wanted to see how this convoy, which Jia Zhenxin had described as "a pack of mad dogs," would react.
Is it to extend goodwill, or... to open fire directly?
As the distance closed, Xu Si could feel the suffocating oppressive aura emanating from the "Flaming Chariot".
Its massive, fortress-like body was covered with strange flame patterns, and some parts were still burning intermittently.
The high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort violently.
Several structures resembling cannon muzzles or launch pads were vaguely aligned with his direction.
The [Messenger of Molten Wax] stops about 100 meters away from the opponent.
This distance presents a delicate juncture for both sides—allowing for communication while also providing room for compromise.
Xu Si opened the car door, but did not get out completely. He simply rested his arm on the car window, his scarlet star-like eyes calmly looking towards the observation window of the "Flame Chariot" through the faint gray mist brought by the [Empty Cloak].
He said nothing, he just waited.
Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
The winds of the Gobi Desert blow, stirring up sand and gravel, making a mournful sound.
Finally, a thick, scorched armor plate on the side of the "Flame Chariot" slid open with a "hiss," revealing an opening that allowed people to pass through.
A figure jumped out from inside.
It was a young man of similar age to Xu Si, wearing only a simple vest made of unknown animal hide. His exposed muscles were like cast iron, and his bright red hair was exactly the same as Xu Si's.
"You little brat, you dare steal my prey?"
