Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 294 Humans are truly a uniquely blessed race.
Hui's sudden remark stunned everyone present.

Chu Sheng glanced at Hui, who was finally figuring out Xi Ling and the others' origins and information, then looked at the somewhat surprised Xi Ling and the others. He immediately realized what was happening, took a few steps forward, and shouted, "You wretch! What have you figured out?!"

"Huh?" Hui's joyful and somewhat relaxed expression froze, and he looked at Chu Sheng blankly. But the moment he saw Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng kept winking at him.

After passing Chu Sheng, Hui Dui finally saw the seven natural spirits behind him and awkwardly dug his toes into the ground.

Hui's face turned red as he looked at Chu Sheng and the others around him who were looking at him, and swallowed back what he was about to say: "I have finally figured out how far away the strange thing is from us."

After saying that, he used his mental power to transmit his voice to Chu Sheng, "They're here! Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Why the hell can't I feel anything at all?!"

"It would be strange if you felt anything," Chu Sheng replied.

When Xiling and the others approached them, neither Hui nor he felt anything; they didn't notice anything at all.

The entire convoy was completely unaware of when the other side had approached.

If they hadn't spoken up first, their situation would have been completely uncovered.

Xiling glanced curiously at Chu Sheng from outside, then looked at Hui, whose face was still flushed, with a puzzled expression, but didn't pay much attention. Instead, she looked at Chu Sheng and asked, "We have twenty-one extraordinary materials. Can you help us forge seven weapons?"

Compared to Hui's team, the sacrificial offerings mentioned by Chu Sheng were much more appealing.

Two extraordinary materials were given as payment, and each sister contributed one material to craft the sacrificial offering. There were exactly twenty-one extraordinary materials in total, enough for each of the seven sisters to have one.

Hearing Xiling's words, Chu Sheng disregarded Hui Dui and looked at Xiling with a smile, "Of course, no problem. We love making friends."

"I'll consider my loss today as making a friend."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, looked at Lu Guan, coughed lightly, and said, "Lu Guan, don't you still have a few small conch shells with that magical conch shell?"

"Give them one as a symbol of our friendship."

The amazing thing about the Magic Conch is that it can split into smaller conches, and the owners of these smaller conches can communicate with each other no matter how far apart they are.

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lu Guan's entire body stiffened, and then he reluctantly responded, taking a small conch shell that they used themselves from Zhu Qing's pocket and handing it to Chu Sheng.

"Here you go, these are the last three small seashells I have."

"Besides this one, there are two more."

The magical conch shell can split into ten, and the sequence ability users in the convoy are assigned according to the vehicles.

Chu Sheng got one, Hui Dui got one, Old Man Li got one, Zhu Qing and Lu Guan got one, An Xi, Xingzi, and Ah Xin got one, Qing Qing and Fang Hong got one, and Zhuo Wu, who just joined the team, also got one.

Chu Sheng glanced at the small conch shell in his hand, then at the reluctant Lu Guan, coughed lightly, and said, "Don't look so gloomy."

"I'll upgrade it for you later, and you'll even make a profit then."

He didn't have many thoughts about other intelligent races before, but now that he knows about them, and considering the nature spirits' habits, he needs to cultivate good relationships with them.

He had a premonition that things would not be peaceful afterward.

The information Fang Hong obtained from asking fate was beyond doubt.

After accepting Xiling's request, the convoy stayed in this place for two days.

In the past two days, Chu Sheng prepared seven sacrificial offerings for them.

The offerings were all swords and knives, but none of them were ranked very high. The highest-ranking offering was the bow and arrow in Xiling's hand.

Ranked over 9,400, it can use its mental power to create an infinite number of arrows, with everything within its field of vision being its attack range. It can also absorb the power of sequences to create arrows.

This bow is only slightly inferior to the Red and White Bone Bow, but not by much.

However, the price is also quite high: the arrows shot from this bow will transmit images to the mind of the person who shot them.

In some ways, this cost isn't really a cost, since some people don't have very good eyesight, and this cost allows that person to see where the arrow is and the surrounding situation.

But for Xiling, this price was a real price.

Her eyesight was already excellent, so the images transmitted back after the arrows were shot would conflict with what she saw. Also, if too many arrows were shot at once, there would be even more images in her mind.

A scene with a dozen or twenty arrows might be fine, but a scene with a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand arrows would be extremely terrifying.

The infinite mental energy that forms arrows is designed for rapid and wide-range shooting. Imagine a person with a bow, who fires an arrow that splits into thousands of arrows in a volley. How powerful would that wide-range attack be?
As a result, once this cost appeared, the ability to infinitely generate arrows became nothing special.

Chu Sheng felt as if his carefully crafted work of art had been flawed, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Apart from Xiling's bow and arrow, the other nature spirits had no ranged weapons; they all wielded Tang swords and Han swords.

Although their abilities differ, they are merely auxiliary abilities for scoring points.

For example, abilities such as wounds not healing on their own, merging spiritual power to unleash a slash, and absorbing energy to form sword energy.

These offerings were only slightly better than those of Zhou Dun and the other survivors. Holding the bow in his hand, Xiling tentatively shot an arrow at a rock more than ten kilometers away.

A pure white arrow instantly traversed a distance of more than ten kilometers.

However, it did not hit the completely cooled rock standing on the lava, but instead flew over it and struck the lava flowing down from the crater behind it.

The moment the arrow struck the lava, the pure white arrow began to crack, and streams of pure red energy escaped from the cracks, then surged and burned in the air.

As the cracks multiplied, the pure white arrows were stained fiery red, and flames shot out from them, igniting the lava on the ground, which then burned intensely.

Chu Sheng's third eye on his forehead opened completely. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but look at Xi Ling beside him, "This offering is very suitable for you."

"Thank you."

Xiling clearly thought so too, and looked at Chu Sheng seriously, expressing her gratitude in a rather solemn manner.

"Big sister! You've become so amazing!" Zi Ling exclaimed from the side, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at Xi Ling.

"Now that everyone has become stronger, we will definitely be able to find more members of our tribe!"

"We'll find a place to live together then, I'm so excited just thinking about it!" Zi Ling said excitedly, and Bai Ling and the others next to her felt the same way.

"Mm." Xiling nodded, equally filled with joy.

Although their sequence did not grow, their strength increased.

As their strength increases, they can go to more places, travel further, and find more of their own kind.

The thought of finding a place to live with many of her people in the future filled Xiling with anticipation and joy.

Seeing their expressions, Chu Sheng didn't disturb them further. Just as he was about to leave, Xi Ling called out to him.

"Chu Sheng, the sacrificial offerings are ready. We should be going now. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days."

"We're leaving."

As she spoke, she glanced at the convoy behind her, her gaze settling on the survivors, her envy evident in her eyes.

"Your people are so large, that's wonderful."

"So many people living together must be very happy, right?" she asked, but her tone was full of certainty.

Looking at her, Chu Sheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Humans are social creatures, but being a social creature does not mean that the group is harmonious.

For humans, many people would rather live alone than mingle with others, as long as they can survive.

Therefore, Chu Sheng is currently unable to empathize with Xi Ling and the others at all; perhaps only Lu Guan can feel the same way.

After all, Lu Guan had endured three months of loneliness alone, which made him quite neurotic. Perhaps only he could truly understand the unique kind of loneliness that Xi Ling and the others felt. In any case, Chu Sheng didn't feel that way.

Seeing that Chu Sheng didn't speak, Xi Ling didn't continue either. Instead, she glanced again at the survivors chatting and grilling meat in the convoy, as if she wanted to etch this scene into her mind. After a moment, she looked at Chu Sheng and said.

"Goodbye."

"You are the first race we have met that is similar to us. We wish you a speedy journey to find a satisfactory place to live."

Xiling and the others waved to Chu Sheng, then turned and left, carrying the sacrificial offerings Chu Sheng had made for them.

As Xiling and the others gradually moved away, Hui and the others also gathered around. Looking at their backs, they couldn't help but sigh, "To think that there's a race that's always searching for its own kind, and that they awaken their sequence at birth, is truly a race blessed by nature."

Upon hearing Hui's words, Chu Sheng glanced at him, then watched the figures of Xi Ling and the others disappearing into the distance, and sent a wisp of spiritual energy through his voice.

“We don’t see any of your people in the direction we came from. You can try looking in other directions.”

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's telepathic message, Xi Ling paused, then changed direction, no longer heading south but east.

"Big sister, aren't we going south?"

"Chu Sheng just transmitted his voice to me, saying that the south is the direction they came from, and there are no of our people there." Xi Ling said, her steps never stopping, but she maintained the same pace as her younger sisters behind her, and said, "We don't know where the other people are."

"So it doesn't matter which direction we go. Since there's a road to the south where none of our people are, let's change direction. That way, we'll have a better chance of finding our people, even if it's just a little bit."

Upon hearing Xiling's words, the other six spirits of nature immediately understood.

Cheng Yu also exclaimed, "I've been communicating with the humans in that team for a while these past few days. They can actually reproduce on their own, and a new member can be born in about three hundred days."

"Sometimes two or three are born at once, which they call twins and triplets. Humans are truly a blessed race."

"It can actually reproduce on its own. I always thought they were all born from heaven and earth."
