Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 335 Fire Seed Base! The Great Sage's Body!
How big is Xuanwu?
No one could answer that question, but everyone could see just how big this Xuanwu was.

An Xi remained silent for a moment, gazing at the towering Xuanwu before her, feeling the chilling aura that still affected them from two thousand miles away. Her voice was dry as she said, "Such a massive Xuanwu... isn't it strange?"

"Could it really be a mythical creature descending to earth?"

As she spoke, she looked at Captain Hui, who was taking the extra-strength cold medicine from Kyoko's hand. Upon hearing her words, Captain Hui paused, "Not necessarily."

"It seems that someone lives on that Xuanwu."

"When I saw this Xuanwu, I started to make calculations, but for some reason, the results of my calculations were all very vague."

"We can only be sure that people live up there."

Hearing what Hui said, Ah Xin and Zhuo Wu and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Others may not know, but how could they, who grew up in China, not know that Xuanwu is no ordinary being, whether in mythology or any other work?

This thing is both defensive and sacred.

“Anxi, now that Xuanwu has appeared, as a member of the White Tiger sequence, you won’t actually encounter the White Tiger in the future, will you?” Zhu Qing asked with a peculiar train of thought.

An Xi glanced at him but didn't say anything. She wasn't sure if a white tiger really existed.

After all, Xuanwu has appeared.

Chu Sheng ignored their words and stared at Xuanwu, who was walking in their direction, and said, "No matter what, since we can confirm that there are people above us, even if we don't know their attitude or whether they are friend or foe, we still have to go up and take a look."

"If they are friendly and communicative, then we might be able to learn something from them."

"After all, this Xuanwu puts a lot of pressure on me."

When he encountered this Xuanwu, his previously inflated ego, which stemmed from his advancement to Sequence Six, immediately cooled down.

I thought I had become a strong person, but I found that I was still very weak.

He looked at the Black Tortoise in front of him, feeling pressure along with a strange sensation that he couldn't describe.

At this moment, a village sits atop the back of the Black Tortoise.

The village is not large, with only seventy or eighty people. At this moment, everyone is gathered in the center of the turtle's back, which is also the highest point.

"Commander, there's a floating island ahead. What should we do?" Wang Er asked an old man surrounded by the crowd.

"Drifting towards us?" Lin Chaoyuan asked, leaning on his cane and wearing a thick cotton-padded coat.

"Yes, they're coming towards us."

Lin Chaoyuan's eyes shone brightly as he looked directly at Wang Er and continued to ask, "Are there people up there? Are there any alien races? What's the floating island like?"

As if he had expected this, Wang Er answered directly: "There's no one here, and no alien races. There's nothing but rocks on top of everything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chaoyuan sighed, "If this hadn't happened, that floating island could have been used to store supplies, but now..."

He sighed again and said, "Never mind it."

"Let it drift over and get smashed."

Hearing his words, Wang Er was taken aback, looked up at the sky, and asked, "Commander, that thing hasn't been taken down yet?"

"No, that's the ability of a sequence ability user."

"For now, we can only take it one step at a time."

As he spoke, he looked at the people surrounding him and gave a bitter smile, "Our team is probably going to be the first Fireseed base to be wiped out by the supernatural."

"There were 10,000 people when we set off, and now there are only 78 left. I, Lin Chaoyuan, am so sorry!"

In the crowd, someone heard his words and retorted, "Old Lin, don't say that. You haven't wronged us. It's just fate. If Captain Li hadn't encountered that monster while searching for supplies, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Yes, if it weren't for that monster, we wouldn't be in this situation. Rather than saying sorry, it would be more accurate to say that without you, we probably wouldn't even have any of us left."

"What do you mean by fate? Even if fate truly decrees it this way, we will surely overcome it!"

Everyone took turns offering words of comfort to Lin Chaoyuan.

Listening to everyone's words, Lin Chaoyuan didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he still hadn't gotten over his self-blame.

Just then, someone on the outskirts of the crowd exclaimed, "Look! What's that?!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at him and then followed the direction he pointed. In front of Xuanwu, a huge water mass, no smaller than Xuanwu itself, appeared out of thin air and shot straight into the sky.

A few seconds after the water sphere appeared and shot into the sky, another beam of light, radiating a dazzling golden light that was so bright it hurt the eyes, rose out of thin air.

The spearhead, arriving late, struck the water sphere directly in the sky, causing it to turn into raindrops and fall.

The rain covered an area of ​​several thousand kilometers, but the rain was not heavy and lasted only for about ten seconds.

"What is that? Another eerie thing?!"

"No! It's not weird!" The eyesight of a Sequence Ability User is better than that of an ordinary person. Wang Er narrowed his eyes slightly, and golden light shone in his eyes. His gaze seemed to solidify and fall on the floating island.

"The water sphere and the golden light both originated from that floating island."

"That floating island seems to be something special!"

"But all I can see right now is that it's completely desolate."

As he spoke, Lin Chaoyuan, leaning on his cane, squinted at the front of him. Although he couldn't see anything, it didn't stop him from making inferences based on the available information.

"It seems the people on that floating island are greeting us."

"I just don't know if they're human or some other race." He glanced at the crowd and continued, "Looks like our chance has come!"

"Sir, should we let them come up?" Wang Er asked.

"Let them come up!"

"But..." Wang Er hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lin Chaoyuan looked at Wang Er, knowing what he was thinking, and sighed, "What other choice do we have now?"

“Xiao Wang, I am not a Sequence Ability User, and I am getting old. You are our guide and the only Sequence Ability User. This Xuanwu will definitely be handed over to you.”

"You need to learn to be a leader; your mindset needs to change."

"Tell me, what will happen if we refuse to let the other side use Xuanwu?"

As he spoke, before Wang Er could answer, he continued, "There are two possible outcomes: either the other side is in good condition, or they are unable to ascend to Xuanwu and can only watch us leave."

"What can we get? We can't get anything; we can only maintain the status quo."

"The second result is that the other party is very strong. Even if we don't invite them, they can still ascend to Xuanwu."

"What will happen to us? There are still two possible outcomes. The better outcome is that the other side has great strength, but realistically, if we survive, we might gain some benefits through a deal."

"The worst-case scenario is that the other side kills us all."

"Is there a difference? If the other side can't ascend to Xuanwu, we can only suffer a slow death. If the other side can ascend to Xuanwu, we have to gamble on their luck."

He paused, looked at Wang Er, and continued, "Tell me, which of these two outcomes do you choose?"

Hearing his words, Wang Er frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Both of these choices are terrible."

“Yes, they’re all terrible.” Lin Chaoyuan nodded. “At this point, there’s a third option besides these two.”

"Take the initiative to invite the other party up."

"This Black Tortoise is our best trump card and a symbol of our 'strength'."

"As long as they have any sense, they won't act rashly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Er suddenly realized, "They dare not gamble on the power of this Xuanwu!"

"Correct!"

“They launched a strong attack, and they figured out the 'strength' of this Xuanwu.”

“But if we invite them up, they won’t be able to figure out Xuanwu and won’t act rashly.”

Even if you're the only one with sequence ability abilities among us!

Lin Chaoyuan explained everything in detail.

As the two were talking, Xuanwu stopped moving forward and stood still.

The moment it stopped moving, the snake's head, which had been coiled around the turtle's back and hiding above the clouds, began to dance in front of Xuanwu.

"Xuanwu has stopped!" Zhu Qing pointed ahead and spoke to Chu Sheng and the others.

Chu Sheng glanced at Qingqing, who was slumped against Fang Hong, then at An Xi, who was holding the black jade bone spear, and finally looked at Captain Hui. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What do they mean by this? Are they inviting us over, or are they coming over?"

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's question, Hui waved his hand and turned his head away, saying, "Don't ask me, I don't know."

"Calculating the lifespan required would be too much. Don't let me die before I even advance to the next level."

Chu Sheng: "."

"alright."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhuo Wu.

Feeling his gaze, Zhuo Wu felt a little uncomfortable, but still said, "I'll have Da Sheng go and take a look."

Anxi, Zhu Qing, Lu Guan, and Qingqing are all pure warriors, with at most some functional abilities. Team Hui needs to consume his lifespan to know the other party's thoughts. Ah Xin is a guardian and Xingzi is a healer.

Neither of them had the ability to communicate with the other across such a long distance.

As for Fang Hong, Chu Sheng didn't ask her.

Having spent these days together, Chu Sheng had long since come to know Fang Hong's personality. If possible, Fang Hong would have volunteered long ago.

Since she hasn't spoken up, it proves that she can't, or rather, needs to pay a price.

As for Chu Sheng himself, he also lacked the means to communicate across such a long distance.

In this situation, Zhuo Wu's abilities became apparent.

After a period of time, Zhuo Wu's Great Sage body was brought down again.

He could easily possess the Great Sage's body and fly over to communicate with him.

There is absolutely no risk; at most, the only loss would be the body of a Great Sage.

Seeing Zhuo Wu sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, fully controlling the Great Sage's body, Chu Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he was satisfied, Hui suddenly spoke up from the side.

"By the way, didn't you plunder the Myriad Phases sequence? Why don't you simulate the trading sequence? Create a space and communicate with it face-to-face?"
