Chapter 100 is indeed true.
Inside the "Flame Chariot," orange lights cast swaying shadows on the metal bulkheads.
Fireman slowed down his chewing of jerky, his gaze passing through the observation window and landing on the blurry, scarlet figure by the campfire in the distance.
From Aya's account, the group roughly understood the attitude of the "Salary Train Team," but Aya did not hear Xu Si's words because of the obscuring effect of the empty cloak.
However, most people could guess a thing or two.
"That jealous brat... I'll have to deal with him sooner or later," Fire Man muttered under his breath.
Lin Li didn't reply, but just quietly looked out the window.
Fu Xiaojian's team was disciplined and maintained a circular defense even during rest periods. The low wall created by the rock ability user was rough, but it exuded a toughness that should not be underestimated.
Not to mention that young man named Xu Si...
His car, his sword, and those eyes that gleamed with a faint bloodlust in the shadows.
"Alright, now that we know they don't mean any harm, let's get some rest! Who's on night duty tonight?" Lin Li asked.
"Xiao Zhi and I will take the night watch together tonight!" Because the Flame Chariot's defensive capabilities are so formidable, they usually take the night watch alone.
But today is different, so Zhuang Guodong took the initiative to request it.
"Alright, thank you both for your hard work today!"
As night deepened, the wind in the Gobi Desert grew increasingly fierce, howling like a ghostly wail as it swept across the jagged black rocks.
The low walls built on the mountain block most of the wind and sand, but the chill still seeps in everywhere.
Around the campfire, apart from Shao Bing, who was on night duty, and two other newly joined survivors, most of the others had returned to their vehicles to rest.
Xu Si lay on the spacious back bunk of the "Messenger of Melting Wax".
Beneath him was a soft, simulated mattress, and the natural heat-retaining properties of the Molten Wax Messenger made him feel extremely comfortable.
He didn't fall asleep immediately, but instead immersed his consciousness into the system.
Current purification point: 105470
There are still plenty of purification points.
His gaze fell on the [Lava Fire Crystal] in his left hand, while in his right hand was the familiar half-bottle of drinking water.
"System, using [Lava Fire Crystal], upgrade to [Forging Apprentice Sequence Awakening Potion]."
[Purification Points -1000, Remaining Purification Points: 104470]
[Awakening potion for forging apprentice sequence is being crafted]
Estimated time: 10 minutes
Upon receiving the command, the warm crystal in the palm of the hand began to soften and deform, eventually condensing into a dark red potion half-encapsulated in a transparent crystal tube.
The potion seemed to have lava flowing slowly inside, radiating a hot yet stable energy fluctuation.
Xu Si carefully put it into his dimensional pocket. As for whether to give it to him or how to give it to him, he was still considering it.
……
At the deepest time of night.
At the edge of Xu Si's "star trails", he suddenly detected an extremely faint and discordant vibration.
It didn't come from the ground, but... from underground?
It was very slight, like something heavy slowly digging beneath a very deep layer of sand and gravel, rubbing against the rock strata.
The frequency is very low and the intervals are very long; it would be almost ignored unless one has a keen sense of "star trails".
Xu Si suddenly opened his eyes, his scarlet star-like pupils glowing faintly in the darkness.
He sat up silently and looked through the wax-coated car window at the "Flame Chariot" upwind of the camp, which resembled a black mountain range.
The "Flame Chariot" remained silent, with only the faint light in the cockpit still shining, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.
Xu Si focused his senses on the ground, and it seemed that it wasn't those "sand crocodiles" that had returned.
He hesitated for a moment, not wanting to alarm everyone. If it was just one, he could cook it himself quickly.
He gently tapped the microphone on the car radio and switched to a one-way encrypted channel with the Mengshi.
"Old Fu, something's up! There seems to be something moving deep underground, approaching the camp!"
"Should we wake up Su Su and the others for assistance?" A few seconds later, a very faint response came from the direction of the Mengshi vehicle.
"Not for now," Xu Si said, drawing his attention back to the present and maximizing the perception of "Star Track," like the most sophisticated radar, scanning the strata below and around the camp again and again.
At the same time, he quietly pushed open the car door and stepped barefoot onto the cold, rough gravel ground.
With the [Empty Cloak] stealth effect activated, his figure almost blended into the darkness.
Instead of moving away from the vehicle, he bent down and placed his palms on the ground to feel the pulse of the earth more directly.
Xing Tong stared intently at the shadow of the "Flame Chariot" upwind, and the Gobi Desert, blurred in the night further away.
Time passed second by second.
The underground tremors were intermittent, sometimes seemingly disappearing, and sometimes faintly reappearing.
Xu Si was unable to accurately determine his intentions.
Was it just passing by? Or was it lying in wait to hunt?
He dared not gamble.
About fifteen minutes later, just as Xu Si was considering whether to take the initiative, the tremor suddenly became clearer for a moment!
Immediately afterwards, a burst of intense fire from the Flame Chariot slammed down onto a sandy mound several hundred meters outside the camp!
The explosion happened in an instant, and all movement underground was awakened by the sound of the cannon.
The monsters were definitely wiped out, but the camp was in an uproar.
Xu Si then saw the observation window of the Flame Chariot, where the Fire Man made a provocative gesture towards him.
"Back now, all taken care of!" Fire Man swaggered back to rest with an air of nonchalance.
"Aya, you've worked hard. You should all go back to sleep!"
Perhaps it wasn't the first time they'd experienced something like this, but the members of the Blazing Chariot remained remarkably calm.
"Enemy attack!!!"
At the same time, Shao Bing's roar and the explosion rang out almost simultaneously. He suddenly leaped up from beside the campfire, his old fire axe held horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes sharp as an eagle.
Only after realizing that the artillery fire was coming from the Flame Chariot did he realize that he might have overreacted.
"Everyone, don't panic, the accident has been resolved, rest assured!" Fu Xiaojian's reassuring voice rang out from the loudspeaker of the Warrior.
The convoy gradually quieted down.
"Are you alright?" Fu Xiaojian got out of the car and went straight to Xu Si's side to ask.
"It's alright, it should be taken care of!"
"Ignore him, he's just trying to intimidate us! We're not kids anymore, why are you still playing these tricks?" Fu Xiaojian naturally understood.
"You guys keep sleeping! I'll go check on things!"
Xu Si didn't care. It was better if he didn't have to do anything. What if he got a strange drop for free?
Xu Si's figure blended silently into the night under the cover of the [Empty Cloak], and sped towards the explosion site.
The night wind in the Gobi Desert carries the smell of gunpowder and scorched earth.
The explosion occurred about 300 meters from the camp. A charred crater, five or six meters in diameter, was blasted into the sand. Wisps of smoke were still rising from the bottom of the crater, and the sand and gravel at the edges were melted into glass-like crystals by the high temperature.
Xu Si stopped at the edge of the pit, his starry eyes slightly narrowed.
In the crimson vision, the bottom of the scorched crater still retained intense, scorching energy, as well as an energy aura that was about to dissipate.
"There really is?"
