Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 121 Promotion in the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sequence?
"He only got what he deserved."

Chu Sheng shook his head. The red and white bone bow unfolded, and two points of light, one red and one black, spiraled around the bowstring. With Chu Sheng's movement, a black and red arrow was condensed.

"Brother Chu, you look so cool!" The ghostly blue flames in Lu Guan's eyes were flickering incredibly fast.

"I heard from Brother Zhu that you can make sacrificial offerings. Can I ask you to make some?" Lu Guan's voice kept ringing in Chu Sheng's ears.

Chu Sheng glanced at him with a puzzled look and frowned slightly.

"You've been psychologically attacked, yet you're still so lively and energetic?"

"A mental attack?" Lu Guan tapped his skull with his knuckles. "Isn't this just a simple case of falling into confusion?"

"Won't it be normal in a few tens of seconds?"

Hearing his words, Chu Sheng took a deep breath.

When I was mentally attacked, I was exhausted and couldn't help but want to sleep while I was on the run.

The three sequence ability users they killed earlier were also affected; they were mentally attacked by him, and their condition plummeted.

This is why they were able to kill a team of ability users so easily.

As it turned out, this guy was still perfectly fine after being hit.

Lu Guan's voice still echoed in his ears. Chu Sheng frowned: "Shut up!"

"We'll talk about it when we get back!"

"Alright." Lu Guan sighed in disappointment.

"I should have known better than to leave my things in Brother Zhu's car."

"I have seven extraordinary materials, all of which I carefully selected before bringing them with me."

"If I could carry all this material, I would have been rich long ago!"

Lu Guan muttered to himself.

At this moment, An Xi, who was standing at the front, looked at the somewhat weak spider and said to Zhu Qing, "Leave this guy to me. You keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't escape."

"Okay!" Zhu Qing nodded.

While the two were discussing, Chu Sheng had already aimed at the spider's eyes, released the bowstring with his right hand, and a red and white arrow flew straight out.

"call out!"

With a whooshing sound, the red and white arrow pierced directly into one of the spider's eyes.

"Squeak~ Roar!"

Chu Sheng's voice reached An Xi and the other two, as well as Lu Guan, who was holding his head and talking to himself, the instant the red and white arrows struck.

"This arrow attacked its mind and body, causing double damage!"

Struck by the red and white arrows, the spider felt its newly formed intelligence turn into mush, while a sharp pain surged through its mind.

The double blow to its physical and mental health made it roll around on the ground in an attempt to alleviate some of the pain.

When An Xi heard Chu Sheng's words and saw the appearance of the spider, her eyes lit up.

Because she couldn't be too conspicuous, she didn't spread her snake wings, but instead went straight towards the spider with the black jade bone spear in hand.

However, she was extremely fast, and in just two and a half breaths she was right in front of the spider.

The tip of the black jade bone spear, gleaming with a pale golden light, pierced directly into the spider's head.

Zhu Qing took advantage of this moment to circle around to the back of the Spider.

A sharp pain shot through the spider's body again, but it was this pain that brought the spider back to its senses from its mental confusion.

With a roar, it stared at An Xi with its remaining five eyes. Its gaze materialized, and a mental attack, slightly lighter in color than the crimson one that attacked Lu Guan, pierced straight into An Xi's brow.

"Squeak~ Roar~~"

The spider's hiss was noticeably lighter, while An Xi merely frowned and said, "What the hell is that?"

With a muttered sound, the black jade bone spear was drawn.

The tip of the spear was now glowing with golden Geng metal energy, no longer the pale gold it had been before.

Zhu Qing had already grabbed the spider's rear end, trying to control it.

When the spider saw that An Xi did not react, it panicked and instinctively tried to escape, but Zhu Qing had already grabbed its buttocks, so it could only struggle and scratch the ground with its seven legs.

At that moment, An Xi's attack landed.

The extremely concentrated Geng metal power erupted the moment the black jade bone spear entered its body.

Golden streams of Geng metal energy flowed from the spider's body along the wounds it had been torn open.

The immense pain caused the spider to struggle incessantly.

Zhu Qing held its rear end tightly, clenching her teeth to prevent it from struggling free.

The power of Geng metal is something that can make Zhu Qing, a sequence ability user who loses the sense of pain after becoming gigantic, feel pain.

That was merely the Geng metal power that An Xi hadn't actually used.

Therefore, when Anxi gets serious, even if the spider has only just begun to develop intelligence, the immense pain will instinctively make it feel fear.

Every bit of Geng metal power escaping from the wound will be accompanied by more black energy.

As the black energy dissipated, the spider's strength diminished, which was evident in Zhu Qing's ability to pin the spider to the ground with one hand.

The spider's hissing grew fainter and fainter.

Watching the spider gradually weaken, An Xi seemed to realize something, her eyes widening as she murmured, "Oh no! I miscalculated!"

Such a large spider, if handed over to the butcher to dismember, would definitely yield more extraordinary materials than if it were killed like this.

She will definitely get one or two more pieces of extraordinary materials.

Then we can give it to Chu Sheng.

Thinking about what had happened before, An Xi's legs felt weak.

Little did she know that she was turning into an old ladybug. Zhu Qing was not far from her, and although the spider was hissing softly, he still heard An Xi's annoyed expression and murmured words.

He was also taken aback, then said with some regret, "What a huge loss!"

Clearly, he is now aware of this as well.

Just as the two were feeling frustrated, a red arrow shot out from afar and pierced straight into one of the spider's intact eyes.

As the arrow of the Red Festival struck, the spider let out a mournful roar before lowering its head and falling silent.

Its body turned into black mist and dissipated into the air.

Only three items were left behind.

Chu Sheng walked over at this moment, along with Lu Guan. When he saw the three extraordinary materials on the ground, Chu Sheng frowned, glanced at Lu Guan, and then spoke.

“Three materials: the attack launched by the Netherworld Bone Chariot, the first attack I launched during the battle, then An Xi’s strange killing, and Zhu Qing’s strange control.”

"As for you"

Chu Sheng couldn't help but twitch his lips as he recalled Lu Guan's behavior earlier.

"Although you hit this monster with your car and turned one of its legs into bones, it didn't really do anything."

"We had to get out of the car to rescue you, so these three items belong to me, An Xi, and Zhu Qing."

"However, you did contribute, so like Ah Xin, you'll be counted as half a piece of extraordinary material. If you continue like this, it will be added together to count as one piece."

“No problem!” Before An Xi and Zhu Qing could say anything, Lu Guan immediately raised his hand in agreement.

Seeing that he agreed, Chu Sheng turned his gaze to An Xi and Zhu Qing.

"Reasonable."

"Me too."

Seeing that the three agreed, Chu Sheng nodded.

"The Netherworld Bone Chariot is mine, and I'm the one who messed it up. Many of the wounds on my body were caused by the winch of the Netherworld Bone Chariot."

"So I'll choose first, then Anxi will be my direct opponent, which will be second, and the rest is yours."

Chu Sheng looked at Zhu Qing and spoke, while simultaneously lifting up a bone that was two meters long and half a meter wide from the ground.

The bone looks flat, with eight groove-like things on both sides of its edges.

Zhu Qing remained silent, but gestured for An Xi to choose extraordinary materials.

An Xi didn't hesitate. She glanced at the remaining swallow skins on the ground and decisively chose another spider venom sac.

The large bones produced by the spider belong to Chu Sheng, the venom sac to An Xi, and the swallow skin to Zhu Qing.

The four then returned to the Netherworld Bone Cart. Upon seeing them return, Ah Xin deactivated the 200-meter-long life force barrier and asked, "It seems we haven't reached Fragrant City yet?"

"Hmm, not yet." Chu Sheng nodded, then looked at Lu Guan.

"You've been to Fragrant City before, how much longer until we get there?"

"How long?" Lu Guan tapped his skull with his knuckles, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be soon."

“I encountered this strange thing on the way to Fangxiang City before, and it took me almost half a day to walk there. At the speed of this car, it should only take ten minutes or so.”

"Are you still able to drive?" Chu Sheng looked Lu Guan up and down.

Upon hearing his words, Lu Guan immediately patted his ribs and said, "No problem!"

"I've already recovered from this mental confusion!"

"Let's set off as agreed before!"

As Chu Sheng spoke, An Xi and the other two walked into the cargo box again, and Lu Guan also got back into the car.

Chu Sheng also threw the large bone he had obtained into the cargo box.

The Netherworld Bone Chariot sped across the wilderness once more.

Since encountering the spider, the journey has been exceptionally peaceful.

Chu Sheng saw the house from afar and instinctively shrank behind his chair to block his view.

With the effect of the Netherworld Bone, there shouldn't be any major problems as long as you're not directly seen by the supernatural.

Lu Guan became excited when he saw the house.

"Hehehe! My materials! I'm back!"

"This time! I will take back what I have lost!"

Unlike Lu Guan's excitement, Chu Sheng's heart was pounding in his chest.

The closer he got to Fragrant City, the stronger his longing became.

My heart was pounding because of this feeling of longing.

"What could it be?" Chu Sheng wondered to himself.

In his view, the Tiangong sequence was already perfect.

Although this ability to upgrade items requires survival points, he doesn't actually use it very often.

Of course, if you can avoid using survival points, the possibilities are endless.

It wasn't just the desire for a sequence; Chu Sheng also had a feeling that he would advance in his sequence here.

This feeling came out of nowhere, but that's just how he felt.

However, he didn't have this feeling when Zhu Qing and An Xi were promoted. Of course, he couldn't rule out that the two of them were lying, but based on his understanding of Zhu Qing and An Xi...

They probably don't have the brains to tell such a lie.

Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that An Xi and Zhu Qing's advancement in the hierarchy was a natural progression.
