Chapter 169 Sequence 3 - Nexus
After a flurry of activity, the convoy prepared to rest at the theater.
At the outermost edge of the convoy was Chen Pei's "Ten Thousand Snakes," which was monitoring the surrounding streets.
Jiang Li's light blue barrier enveloped the entire main body of the theater building.
Xiao Luo's psionic barrier focused on covering the convoy vehicles and key areas where people were gathered.
Further inside, there are even more malicious senses. Under multiple layers of protection, this place has temporarily become the safest island in Yanshi.
A campfire rose on the empty backstage area, dispelling some of the chill and dampness.
Xu Si contributed a lot of snacks, after all, there would be a lot of work to do tomorrow, and as the organizer, he definitely had to contribute something.
"Give me a different bag, I want the Sichuan pepper flavor." Xu Si knew the little girl was just being difficult, but he let her do whatever she wanted.
The convoy didn't become lifeless only because of the little girl.
Don't underestimate this small change; it can affect the behavior of many people and the atmosphere of the entire team.
This is why many companies were willing to keep a useless pistachio before the apocalypse.
Simply setting the mood is a huge achievement.
Xu Si had a great haul this time, so each of them ate a bag of instant noodles that night, which was quite a luxury!
Some people in the convoy cried while eating.
Xu Si did not participate in this simple "gathering".
He returned alone to the driver's seat of the "Conqueror," the windows tightly closed, cutting off most of the sound of rain and people.
He held a newly upgraded [Sequence Enhancement Potion (General Type II)] in his hand.
In the passenger seat next to him, holding the "Heart of Winter," Yi Yi stared at Xu Si with a tense expression.
Inside the ice crystal test tube, silver light and blood streaks intertwined and flowed, more alluring than ever before.
Seemingly understanding what Xu Si wanted to do, Yi Yi's small body lay on the [Heart of Winter], making two worried "ee-ee" sounds, and even its wings drooped down.
Since this little guy began to coexist with Xu Si, he has almost become a barometer of Xu Si's emotions and state, even though Xu Si's emotions have hardly fluctuated.
"It's alright," Xu Si reassured it with his mind.
Xu Si gave a bitter smile, and without the slightest hesitation, drank the liquid, which was a mixture of silver light and blood streaks, in one gulp.
A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over my entire body!
Perhaps as punishment for those who take shortcuts, this time the pain is more intense and more insidious than ever before!
"Ugh...!"
Xu Si clenched his teeth tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
pain!
But this pain was accompanied by a strange feeling, as if something was being "unbound".
Within the origin of the sequence, the star anchor was trembling wildly deep within his consciousness!
It seemed to have broken free from some invisible shackles and began to operate at an unprecedented speed, drawing on stellar power that was far purer and more abundant than ever before!
Through the car roof, through the rain, through the clouds, Xu Si seemed to sense the location of the Blood Sun.
Inside the car, Xu Si's body temperature fluctuated wildly between hot and cold, like a running carousel.
At the same time, specks of scarlet starlight appeared on Xu Si's body, illuminating his face, which was contorted with pain.
The unusual changes inside Xu Si's car were far too obvious.
The light was as dazzling as the blood-red sun piercing through the clouds, and even the conqueror's wax could not conceal it.
Tashan, who was slurping up the instant noodles that Xu Si had given him, suddenly stopped and turned his head sharply to look in the direction of "Conqueror".
The rich aroma of spices permeated the humid air, making one's stomach rumble.
It wasn't just him.
The chopsticks in Su Su's hand snapped silently, and her usually cold eyes suddenly sharpened.
Jiao Jiao's eyes were glued to Xu Si's car the whole time, and her mouth was slightly open at this moment;
Fu Xiaojian suddenly stood up, then slowly sat down again, completely unaware that the noodle soup in his hand had spilled on the ground.
The dark red interior of the "Conqueror" was radiating an increasingly intense light!
The light was not pure white or warm yellow, but a kind of... scarlet, like congealed blood mixed with stardust!
The light pierced through the Conqueror's specially made wax armor and dark windows, illuminating every detail of the rain within several meters, making it appear like countless falling red ice needles.
"Brother Dao..." Xiao Luo wanted to say something, his voice extremely nervous.
"Is Brother Xu alright?" Li Miao subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
Shao Bing and Wang Hu were doing their own things, glancing at it once and then paying no more attention.
The newly joined Jiang Li, Tang Jinxiu, and Chen Pei looked on with curiosity.
However, they didn't ask, as they weren't that familiar with each other yet.
Inside the car, Xu Si's consciousness was floating in a vortex of crimson and icy cold.
pain!
The effects of the fourth enhancement potion seemed to have tempered his body countless times.
Deep within his consciousness, Xu Si's sequence origin is undergoing a dramatic change!
At this moment, what flowed through Xu Si's body seemed to be no longer blood, but melting stars and frozen aurora.
The bones emitted a faint cracking sound as if they could not bear the weight, and a scarlet aura surged and exploded beneath every inch of skin, attempting to break free of the body.
However, in the depths of this unbearable pain, a sudden realization, like the air touched by a drowning person's fingertips, becomes clear!
He "saw" the stars and the sea.
Not with the eyes.
Xu Si felt as if he were in the universe, with the stars and the sea right beneath his feet.
Subsequently, countless extremely intricate and complex networks of stars extended from him as the hub.
They intertwine and entwine with each other, forming a miniature yet incredibly profound three-dimensional structure.
At the very moment this "nexus" took shape—
boom!
Xu Si's senses expanded wildly outwards like an explosion!
One hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters... the area covered by star trails is expanding at an unprecedented rate!
The ruins of the city, the veins of the streets, the lingering heaviness of the distant buildings, and the obscure fluctuations hidden deeper within...
Countless pieces of information flooded into his consciousness like a torrent, but were efficiently sorted, filtered, and located by the newly formed "Star Hub".
He could even "see" every trace that the fine raindrops traced in the air outside the theater's barrier;
It can "sense" the direction of the water flowing deep underground, murmuring in ancient pipes.
It was a sense of omniscience and control, yet it also carried a cold precision, as if he had become the absolute core of the data in this area.
[Current Sequence: Sequence 3 - Star Pivot]
[Feature 1: Star Lead]
[Description: You have gained a basic understanding of the stars, which will grant you unprecedented "gravity." You can actively attract faint starlight, and this property will be at its peak when you are illuminated by the stars. (Note: Stars may light your way, but they can blind your enemies.)]
【Awakening Trait 2: Star Sacrifice】
[Description: Apart from you, the stars accept no sacrifices. Everything you possess can be offered to the stars in exchange for a brief burst of power. (Note: Be cautious with this burst. Stars do not produce power; they are merely transporters of power, and the transportation costs are exorbitant.)]
[Awakening Trait 3: Star Pulse]
[Description: Star Trails is just a watered-down version; Star Pulse is the high-end product. Everything, if not yours to own, will be yours to use, or at the very least, something you'll covet. (Note: To grow bigger and stronger, to create new glories.)]
[Note: Kid! You've caught His attention!]
