HPDBC Chapter 117 Sequence - Melting and Forging Apprentice
Chapter 117 Sequence - Melting and Forging Apprentice
"Tonight, wipe out the convoy of beauties!" Fu Xiaojian had long anticipated this would happen.
At this point, the target had simply changed from the Wantong caravan to the Beauty Caravan.
Xu Si smiled, and Shao Bing looked away.
Tashan's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Normally, if someone leaves, that's fine.
With so many convoys here, if they don't make a move, the other convoys might think they're easy targets that can be bullied at will!
And the ordinary people in the convoy were watching too!
If we just brush it off lightly, who knows what benefits they might exchange for the team's information?
Therefore, there is only one solution to this problem.
That is, to let the traitors rest in peace, and to let the transgressors meet their deaths.
After this incident, no one was in the mood for dinner. They ate a little something, discussed tactics, and then went back to wait for nightfall.
The Beauty Car Team was adjacent to the Martial God Car Team, but no matter how close they were, they were still clearly distinct, as they were two separate teams.
So as long as they don't accidentally injure anyone.
Xu Si felt that Wu Yue would definitely do the same thing as last night, only making a move in the final stage.
These three days were a brutal struggle for survival of the fittest.
After all, Wu Yue's goal is to conquer Sequence 3, which means that most people in the team are destined to be cannon fodder. Screening them in advance will also help to better organize and arrange tactics.
If they are fast enough, they might have a chance to take down the beauty convoy before Wu Yue makes a move.
As night fell, Xu Si finally met the person he had been waiting for.
"Mr. Xu!" he greeted, his voice a little hoarse, the oil stains on his clothes clearly visible, and his face more tired than usual, but his spirits were quite good.
Xu Si's window had been open all along; he had been waiting for this moment.
"What's wrong?" Xu Si's voice was cold and hard; he needed an explanation.
"Yesterday, the Wantong caravan's vehicles suffered heavy damage. Their own repair team couldn't keep up with the demand, so I took a few people to find the team leader to get their vehicles repaired and replaced with 'mysterious drops' items. I wanted to ask Mr. Xu for a possibility."
As he spoke, Wang Hu pulled out a leather-like object from his pocket and then gave Xu Si a nervous look.
As an ordinary person without supernatural powers, he couldn't tell whether this was truly a bizarre fall.
"Do you know what this is?"
"have no idea!"
"This is indeed a bizarre drop!"
Xu Si saw that Wang Hu visibly relaxed, his cracked face showing relief.
Zhu Yu did not deceive Wang Hu; this was a strange drop called [Red Rock Lizard Skin].
Perhaps that guy didn't want to provoke another racing team.
Or perhaps this guy really does operate with integrity.
A look of relief appeared on Wang Hu's oil-stained face, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper sense of anticipation and a hint of unease.
"Mr. Xu..."
"Do you know my price?" Xu Si interrupted the hesitant Wang Hu and asked.
Wang Hu felt a surge of joy, followed by a chill.
He didn't know Xu Si's price, but he had heard about the price of the Martial God Car Team.
He absolutely could not afford it; the Wantong caravan was just lucky.
"One isn't enough, we need at least four!" Xu Si continued as he was thinking about how to salvage the situation.
"I...I...I..." Wang Hu felt a dryness in his throat, and all the fatigue from the day surged into his heart.
However, Yao Yao, who was waiting for him to return on the bus, prevented him from moving an inch.
His back, already slightly hunched from years of hard work, was bent low, and his rough, scarred, and greasy hands gripped the [Red Rock Lizard Skin] tightly.
"Mr. Xu..." His voice was even lower and drier, like sandpaper rubbing against a stone.
"I...this is all I have right now...I'll pay you back!"
"I might be able to give you that! But you must be loyal to the team and not leave without my permission!"
"Mr. Xu, rest assured, I will always be loyal to you and will never betray you. If I break this oath..." Wang Hu's voice trembled, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
He wasn't doing it for himself, but for his only attachment, his only hope for survival.
"No need for that. If you betray me, I will personally execute you! However, the four strange drops are indispensable; you can owe them to me for now and pay me back slowly!"
Xu Si didn't say anything more, but took out the [Forging Apprentice Sequence Awakening Potion] that had been stored for many days from the dimensional pocket of the [Empty Cloak].
The molten, crimson liquid flowed slowly in the mineral water bottle, radiating a hot yet stable energy fluctuation.
The moment the potion appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to rise by several degrees.
Wang Hu's breathing suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he stared unblinkingly at the bottle of medicine.
This is... the thing that allows ordinary people to step into the extraordinary world?
If Yao Yao drinks this, wouldn't she be able to survive?
However, Xu Si's next words surprised him.
"Drink it here, I'll watch you." Xu Si handed over the medicine, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Although the awakening process is risk-free, since it is produced by the system, it still requires someone to take care of it, especially since Wang Hu is not young and his body is tired from years of hard work, so it may not be as smooth as Jiao Jiao's.
Wang Hu handed the strange object in his hand to Xu Si, his hands trembling as he took the water bottle containing the medicine from Xu Si.
It was warm to the touch, and the heat seemed to travel from my fingertips all the way to my heart.
He glanced back at the direction of the bus and could vaguely see his daughter, Yao Yao, leaning against the window, looking over with worry.
He took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back, and drank the medicine in one gulp.
"Well--!"
The moment the medicine went down his throat, Wang Hu unconsciously let out a suppressed cry, as if bidding farewell to the past.
The sensation was not like a liquid, but more like a mass of scalding, viscous magma sliding down my esophagus and then exploding in my stomach!
A violent surge of heat instantly rushed to his limbs and bones, as if to ignite and melt him from the inside out!
But surprisingly, he felt no pain; it was as if it were a part of himself.
This was also the first time Xu Si had witnessed someone else awaken.
Xu Si watched quietly, his scarlet star-like eyes observing the changes in the energy on Wang Hu's body.
In the perception of "Star Tracks", the originally weak life energy belonging to an ordinary person in Wang Hu's body is being brutally torn apart, merged, and reshaped by a scorching and wild new force.
Wang Hu did not show any pain during this process, as if he were drunk.
She could barely stand by holding onto Xu Si's car.
This taciturn man possesses an extraordinary resilience within him.
Time passed slowly in the night.
Everyone in the camp tacitly ignored this side, and Tashan even used a rock wall to cover it up.
After about ten minutes, the violent, scorching aura emanating from Wang Hu began to gradually subside and recede.
The reddish hue of his skin slowly faded, but upon closer inspection, his bare arms and calves seemed to have gained a very faint, metallic sheen, as if forged at high temperatures, before disappearing beneath the skin.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with exhaustion, but deeper still, there was an unprecedented radiance of "power".
He has awakened.
Sequence – Forging Apprentice.
He believed it to be an extremely powerful sequence capable of both fighting and forging.
"How are you feeling?" Xu Si asked.
Wang Hu tried to stand up straight, feeling the incredibly real power within him that subtly resonated with the flames and metal.
He stretched his arms and legs, and his body, which had been exhausted, now felt light and agile.
"It feels...good. Mr. Xu, I can't thank you enough. From now on, my life belongs to you." His voice was hoarse, but incredibly firm.
"Your life is your own, not anyone else's." Xu Si waved his hand.
"Get familiar with your abilities as soon as possible and collect all the strange drops for me!"
Wang Hu nodded emphatically, gave Xu Si another deep look, then turned around and walked towards the bus with much lighter and more determined steps than when he arrived.
He could feel his daughter's gaze following him.
Xu Si casually put the [Red Rock Lizard Skin] into his dimensional pocket.
As he said, he was not worried about Wang Hu's loyalty.
If they betray you, just kill them. Anyway, you can get the purification points back after killing them.
However, what troubles him now is how to cover up the little girl's bizarre fall.
Getting something into his pocket and then making him take it out is worse than killing him.
Through the front window, he could already see the little puppy shuffling towards him.
