Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 240 The strange things can be reduced, but they will become stronger!
The laser beams of the Netherworld Ship are very powerful. Under the high-power laser beams, ordinary Sequence 9 monsters will be directly vaporized, and Sequence 8 monsters will not be spared either, and will be directly severely injured. If they are hit for more than three seconds, even Sequence 8 monsters will be directly vaporized.

This is the strength of the Netherworld, a seventh-ranked warrior.

Whether it's the Butcher or the Netherworld, both are linked to Chu Sheng's sequence level and are beings capable of fighting against Sequence Seven Anomalies on their own.

However, as a price to pay for the Ghost Meditation to fight against the Sequence Seven Anomaly, its energy reserves need to be completely depleted.

But this free energy is just a negligible cost in the face of such formidable combat power.

After all, possessing a perpetual motion machine and a sun pattern, Youming is constantly in a state of charging, and the charging speed is also very fast.

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, An Xi nodded and said, "I understand."

Although she said that, she was still a little confused and asked, "I remember that the Netherworld Light can encounter strange things, right?"

"There doesn't seem to be any Sequence 7 anomalies ahead, so why don't you just crash into them?"

"Does the Netherworld Light lose its ability when it transforms into the Netherworld Ship?" An Xi's tone was full of confusion.

Hearing her question, Chu Sheng glanced at her and said, "Of course you can bump into it."

"But these strange creatures can dive underwater, and the Netherworld Ship might be able to use the rushing water flow to make them a little unstable."

"Then they climbed onto the fish trucks behind them, and guess what happened?"

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, An Xi didn't speak, but instead climbed up through a hole that Chu Sheng had made at the top.

Although it's raining now, Chu Sheng has his own solutions.

All it takes is to create a structure on the top of the cockpit of the Ghost Ship that is higher in the front and lower in the back, gradually decreasing in height towards the rear.

In this way, even if it's pouring rain outside, no raindrops will fall into the cockpit due to this design.

(As shown in the picture, there aren't many artists like me who are willing to draw illustrations to pamper their fans.)
An Xi stood at the top, her eyes slightly narrowed, her body covered in a layer of pure golden eternal fire.

Flames burned on her body, making her look like a war goddess.

Even in the dim light of a downpour, when visibility is impaired, the golden lighthouse can still be seen from hundreds or thousands of meters away.

After Xingzi said that heavy rain could cause colds and gave her an injection, she became wary of the originally insignificant rain. Although the Geng metal fire covering her body would be more conspicuous, it could keep the rain out.

Raindrops that come within a meter of her will be vaporized by the scorching flames.

She squinted at the front, but because of the heavy rain, she couldn't see what was ahead.

Holding the black jade bone spear, An Xi was about to tell Chu Sheng below about this when a projection appeared in front of her.

An Xi recognized the projection; it was the same projection that Chu Sheng had seen before.

The moment Anxi saw the projection, she spotted a strange creature in the image that looked like a hippopotamus.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the black jade bone spear in his hand shot out like a cannonball, its tip gleaming with an extremely dazzling golden light.

Almost instantly, the spear pierced through the heavy rain and plunged into the water more than 400 meters ahead, directly penetrating the strange creature more than two meters below the surface, while leaving behind the power of Geng metal at the wound.

An Xi flicked her wrist again, and the black jade bone spear that had fallen into the water changed direction, piercing the strange creature once more, and returning towards An Xi's direction.

As the strange creature continued to dissipate due to An Xi's attacks, it sank deeper into the water below the surface.

After falling about a meter, its body began to disintegrate, instantly turning into black mist and merging into the surrounding water.

Only a skull with teeth remained, sinking into the water.

This scene was captured by the Netherworld and displayed on the projection. In those brief two or three seconds, the Netherworld ship passed over the spot where the strange creature had previously been on the water.

The Black Jade Bone Spear also fell back into An Xi's hands.

"His abilities are getting stronger and stronger, but he still hasn't reached Sequence Seven," An Xi thought to herself, not dwelling on what had just happened.

That strange creature was just a Sequence Nine strange creature.

She has already reached Sequence 8, and has gone very far in Sequence 8, not even far from Sequence 7.

Her control over the power of Geng metal was getting stronger and stronger. In one round, she had two wounds and four holes, which was enough for her to kill any of the nine-sequence monsters.

Although the power of Geng metal is not as powerful as the power of Geng metal fire in terms of its ability to adhere and its spirituality, it is precisely because it is pure Geng metal power that, with her control over the power of Geng metal, she can use the power of Geng metal attached to the black jade bone spear to directly disintegrate the strangeness.

Generally speaking, to disintegrate a strange creature into pure black energy, the black energy within it must dissipate until there is no black energy left to maintain its shape, at which point the strange creature will naturally disintegrate.

However, under the invasion of Gengjin power, Anxi can directly cause the strange entity to collapse.

One approach is to disintegrate at its root, while the other is to allow the bizarre to disintegrate on its own.

Although both involve disintegration, they are fundamentally different.

"It's a pity. If we could rely on such abilities to deal with the supernatural, it would be very easy." An Xi sighed.

With her current abilities, she can only deal with Sequence Nine and lower-level bizarre collapses.

Once she encounters the strangeness of Sequence Eight, her ability can only impose a slightly greater restriction on them than before, but it doesn't have much effect. At most, it just makes these strange black energies dissipate faster.

An Xi thought for a moment and threw the black jade bone spear in her hand again. However, this time the black jade bone spear was not covered with Geng metal power; it was just a pure spear.

The spear pierced through the rain once more, but this time it didn't plunge into the water. Instead, it touched a head floating on the surface covered with seaweed.

Although it was not imbued with the power of Geng metal, the sharpness of the black jade bone spear itself still pierced through it.

However, because it lacked the support of Geng metal power, the black jade bone spear pierced through it, but did not penetrate the shaft as well.

Instead, it was stuck inside this strange structure, with the spearhead at one end, the shaft at the other, and the seaweed-like head strangely positioned in the middle.

An Xi glanced at the butcher who was making strange noises on the deck, and with a thought, she used the black jade bone spear to bring back the strange creature stuck on it.

"Waaaaah!" Compared to An Xi, the butcher's eyesight was much better.

From afar, one could see the eerie black jade bone spear approaching it.

In its eyes, what lies ahead is a strange cat disguised as a head, keeping it in a constant state of frenzy.

In just two seconds, the strange creature flew onto the deck. Anxi had already jumped from the top of the cockpit onto the deck and was standing behind the Butcher, watching quietly.

Just after she dealt with a Sequence 9 monster, the Butcher appeared on the deck.

She understood Chu Sheng's thoughts almost instantly.

Most likely, they saw that the strangely dropped supernatural material had fallen into the water and wanted the butcher's help.

Extraordinary materials are still good things no matter what.

Even a single bone.

So she used the Black Jade Bone Spear to bring back this Sequence 8 monster.

The butcher had already begun his operation the moment the strange creature came into her sight.

The blood-red kitten he was holding was thrown out, heading eerily towards the seaweed-like head.

At the same time, the butcher knife in his other hand glowed red.

"Waaaaah!!" the butcher roared, revealing his zombie teeth, and unleashed several slashes at the strange creature.

However, the blood-red kitten was now being strangely bitten and chewed by the waterweed head.

Although the strange creature was brought back, its injuries were not serious. The moment the blood-red kitten came over, it bit it directly, and the small blood-red kitten went straight into its mouth.

It's like eating meat, constantly chewing.

The blood-red kitten kept emitting mournful meows.

It is one with the butcher. Although it has its own intelligence, it will not disappear as long as the butcher does not disappear.

Being chewed repeatedly in the eerie mouth of the waterweed head was like a form of torture, leaving one unable to live or die.

Fortunately, the butcher's strike had already arrived.

The slash did not leave any marks on its head, but instead created wounds from which a continuous stream of black energy dissipated into the outside world.

At the same time, the Black Jade Bone Spear changed direction again, its body gleaming with golden light, and a Geng Metal Flame quietly emerged, shooting out from within.

"Crunch~Crunch~"

The sound of bones cracking echoed, and under the attacks of the Sequence Seven Butcher and the Sequence Eight Anxi, the strange creature quickly dissipated into the world.

The black jade bone spear fell into An Xi's hands once again.

The Geng metal fire enveloping An Xi spread to the black jade bone spear, seemingly cleaning away the marks left on it.

On the deck lay a mass of bloody, mangled flesh, a piece of scalp, and a piece of reeking seaweed. The butcher stood nearby, yelling and stomping on the bloody, mangled flesh, seemingly celebrating his latest victory.

It killed the strange cat that was disguised as another eerie creature!

A wicked cat born evil!
It can even disguise itself as other strange things!

If its owner hadn't told it, it would have been fooled by these cunning cats!

As for whether Chu Sheng would lie to it, the butcher could only say that its master was never wrong!
An Xi picked up the two Sequence 8 extraordinary materials from the ground, without even glancing at the bloody, rotten flesh that the butcher had been constantly trampling on.

It was a blood-red kitten being chewed up in a bizarre way.

It is not dead yet.

Even when it becomes rotten meat, even when it is constantly trampled on by the butcher in his rage, it still meows.

Returning to the cockpit from the top, An Xi disgustedly tossed the scalp and seaweed into the bedroom behind the cockpit.

The fishy-smelling seaweed and the bloody scalp lay on the ground. An Xi glanced at Hui, who was unconscious next to the two extraordinary materials, and murmured, "He probably won't mind, will he?"

"Well, it's an extraordinary material after all, so they shouldn't mind."

She really didn't want to touch these two extraordinary materials anymore.

You can smell the fishy smell on the aquatic plants from four or five meters away. The smell is mixed with the stench of corpses, which makes you want to vomit.

And that scalp was even more outrageous.

If seaweed only gives people a feeling of nausea, then this scalp is extremely terrifying.

It's like the collections of a certain superpower from the past.

Bloody scalp, with hair and some brain matter still attached, dripped onto the ground.

I don’t know if it’s due to the properties of the extraordinary material, but these brains seem to be endless, constantly appearing.

An Xi closed the bedroom door with disgust, took a deep breath in the cockpit, and only after she could no longer smell the fishy smell and the stench of the corpse did she slowly exhale.

“One of these two extraordinary materials for each of us, but I don’t really want them. I’ll trade them for ten pieces of Sequence Nine extraordinary materials,” An Xi said to Chu Sheng.

Hearing her words, Chu Sheng nodded, "Okay, but you know what I mean."

"If you trade me for extraordinary materials, you can only accept whatever I give you, and bone-type extraordinary materials will not exceed half of the total."

“Mm.” An Xi nodded.

This was also a rule set by Chu Sheng.

Although he still has more than a hundred extraordinary materials, he cannot let people choose them themselves.

If he were to let others choose, he himself wouldn't have any good extraordinary materials.

Even if some extraordinary materials are only at the Sequence Nine level, their characteristics and concepts are still very useful.

This is why some extraordinary materials, even if of low grade, can be used to create very useful sacrificial offerings.

The water-purifying gourd is such a product.

The extraordinary materials used to forge it are merely Sequence 9 materials, yet they can remove the curse and provide an endless source of water.

Such a sacrifice would not be exchanged for two pieces of Sequence 8 extraordinary materials.

Even if a Sequence 9 extraordinary material that removes a curse and a Sequence 8 extraordinary material that increases weight are different in level, it is clear which one is more important.

After agreeing with An Xi, Chu Sheng said to You Ming, "You Ming, put these two extraordinary materials into storage."

When An Xi brought in these two extraordinary materials, he also smelled that odor, and naturally he didn't want to come into contact with them too much.

This is where the role of the Netherworld comes into play.

After Chu Sheng gave the order, the floor in the bedroom seemed to come alive and began to wriggle continuously, while the two extraordinary materials on the floor moved towards the cargo box along with the wriggling.

As the two extraordinary materials were loaded into the cargo container, the voice of the Netherworld rang out in the cockpit.

"Scalp, the aquatic plants have been stored."

"Currently, there are seven extraordinary materials of Sequence Level 8 and one hundred and seventeen extraordinary materials of Sequence Level 9."

There were a total of thirty-four sacrificial offerings.

"You can check the details at any time."

Chu Sheng nodded, then remained silent.

A silence fell over the Netherworld Ship; no one was in the mood to talk about anything else.

The Ghost Ship traveled at a speed of over 140 meters per second for an hour and a half, covering 777 kilometers.

During this period, with Fang Hong's guidance, the convoy did not encounter any strange occurrences.

However, what Chu Sheng and the others did not know was that the black aura emanating from the two monsters that the Butcher and An Xi had killed, along with the monster that had been blasted to death by the laser cannon, was gathering at the bottom of the water in the death zone.

Three strands of black energy, resembling silk threads, converged at the same location from different directions.

As the black energy continued to gather, a strange shape, resembling neither fish nor crocodile, slowly condensed.

As this eerie entity slowly coalesced, the gathering black energy gradually diminished.

More than an hour later, the last wisp of black energy merged into its body, and the eerie creature solidified completely.

An aura began to erupt, sequence nine, sequence eight, sequence seven, the aura continued to rise.

It advanced to the seventh level for several seconds, seemingly wanting to advance further, but appeared to have encountered a barrier, its aura weakening considerably. However, it quickly resumed its ascent.

In this way, it went back and forth between improvement and weakness more than ten times, until most of the black energy in its body was worn away before it finally stabilized.

An aura far surpassing the previous three erupted from its body, which was indeed the seventh-order level!
As it coalesced and took shape, its eyes opened as well. Its eyes were not on its head, but on its crocodile-like pointed snout.

On the upper palate, seventeen scarlet eyes blinked incessantly.

As it opened its eyes, it sniffed the air, then found a direction, swayed its tail slightly, and instantly shot out over a hundred meters.

This was not the direction Chu Sheng and the others had left, but rather the direction the water was flowing in, a direction outside of the extreme rainstorm.

It smelled it!

There's a delicious smell coming from that direction!

Thousands of miles away, a convoy slowly drove out from inside the mechanical city.

"Sister Feifei, I didn't expect that Captain Hui and his team would actually run into the City of Machines."

Wei Haoran sat inside the bus, looking at Li Feifei sitting in the passenger seat, "And there were flames like that."

"But I really can't understand why that person named Chu Sheng possesses this eternal flame!"

Li Feifei in the passenger seat ignored him, and he didn't care. Instead, he looked at Zhou Qi sitting next to him and said again, "Uncle Zhou, you didn't expect this either."

"Hmm." Zhou Qi nodded. "I really didn't expect that."

"After all, that man named Chu Sheng is too cunning."

"Moreover, Feifei was previously told by Qingfeng through her abilities that he was a demon."

“There’s no conflict.” Li Feifei said from the passenger seat, “Only those who are prepared to sacrifice for civilization can possess the eternal flame.”

"But what if he believes that only he can save civilization, and everyone else is just a sacrifice?"

Wei Haoran: "."

Zhou Qi: "."

Qi Yu, who was driving and listening intently to their conversation, remained silent.

"Possessing an eternal flame may prove that they are fighting for civilization, but don't mistake them for good people."

At this point, Li Feifei turned her head and glanced at Wei Haoran and the other person in the back seat, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Besides, how do you know that he obtained the Eternal Flame through his own faith?"

"The wind that has been gently caressing the city of machines tells me that Chu Sheng was able to obtain the Eternal Flame because he was the creator of the Eternal Flame."

“Those who can create sacrificial offerings can use the offerings they create at a lower cost than others.”
