Chapter 128 Tempted?
The atmosphere inside the tent suddenly changed, as if an invisible string had been suddenly stretched taut.
Wu Yue gave Cui Daoxuan a deep look. Although he had doubts, he simply nodded, which was considered as tacit approval for him to stay.
The other teams, each with their own thoughts, quickened their pace and filed out.
Xu Si and Fu Xiaojian exchanged a glance and followed the crowd out of the tent.
The Gobi Desert was now filled with stars, and the cold night wind immediately filled Xu Si's sleeves.
After greeting the three members of the Blazing Chariot and the Magical Circus, Fu Xiaojian and Xu Si headed towards the camp.
"This guy surnamed Wang is definitely suspicious. What's Wu Yue doing? How can you believe him?" Fu Xiaojian's voice was extremely low, almost a whisper.
"Perhaps he feels he has everything under control!"
With his Sequence 3 strength and more than a dozen extraordinary abilities, it's hard for him not to be confident.
The two most common pitfalls for people to make misjudgments are failing to see themselves clearly and failing to see others clearly.
Wu Yue is definitely going to suffer a big setback this time.
Fu Xiaojian nodded silently and said no more.
Just as they returned to the camp, the "Flame Chariot" had already quietly started up, and Lin Li and the others seemed to be preparing to leave overnight.
To cause trouble on the head of a level 4 monster is tantamount to provoking the King of Hell.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Fu Xiaojian smiled wryly.
Since there's nothing to do these past few days, the Martial God Team must have a way to appease [Time Delay Mirage].
At least we can guarantee that the [Time Delay Mirage] is safe before we start the strategy, so there's no rush!
"Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best! It's a wise move!" Xu Si said.
"Boom!"
The deep, suppressed roar of the "Flaming Chariot" engine was exceptionally clear in the silent night.
The massive vehicle slowly turned around, its tracks crushing the gravel, but unlike its arrogant entrance the day before, it moved with an almost urgent haste toward the exit of the mine ruins.
Standing at the observation post at the top, Lin Li took one last look at the tent in the center of the square that was still lit up, and the "Martial God Car Team" flag fluttering in the night wind next to the tent, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Sis, are you really leaving like this? When will it happen...?" Fire Man said with a hint of resentment, as if he had deserted.
"If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all." Lin Li was the most clear-headed among them.
If she had known the gathering was taking place above a Level 4 Mysterious Lair, she wouldn't have come.
The Flame Chariot team is quite special; if we're talking about 'strong combat power,' only Fire Man stands out.
If Fire Man is lost, the Flame Chariot will become scrap metal; it will be difficult to even move, let alone defend against enemies.
They've managed to survive this long; there's no need for them to put their convoy in danger for the sake of greed.
Even if she succeeds in the strategy, she isn't confident she can obtain the [Time Sandbox] from the Martial God Car Team and the Salvation Train Car Team.
If it's destined not to be mine, why leave it here?
She couldn't think of any benefit for the team other than putting herself in danger.
Salary train team.
No one was asleep; everyone was waiting for Fu Xiaojian and his companion to return.
As the flamethrower chariots started up, the ordinary people in the camp had already begun to pack up supplies, which had almost become an instinct in the apocalypse.
Jiao Jiao, still holding the small pot of dinner she had prepared for the two of them, looked somewhat bewildered: "Captain Fu, should we... leave now?"
She actually wanted to say goodbye to Xiaoxiao.
Fu Xiaojian looked in the direction where the "Blazing Chariot" disappeared, then looked in the direction of the other convoys, and at the extraordinary Martial God convoy standing like a sculpture outside the tent in the square, and slowly shook his head.
"Leaving now would be too conspicuous. Let's leave with the other convoys tomorrow morning!" he whispered.
The Flame Chariots aren't afraid of being surrounded; they're different. It's safer for them to leave with the other convoys.
"What do you think, Lao Xu?"
"Let's wait and see!" Xu Si agreed with Fu Xiaojian's approach.
No one can guarantee whether the Wushen convoy or the Menghu convoy had anyone lying in ambush on the Gobi Desert.
The campfire at the fire truck convoy camp was dimmed again, leaving only a few faint red lights that illuminated the tense faces of the crowd.
Fu Xiaojian briefly explained what had happened inside the tent, which made everyone gasp in shock.
Xu Si then returned directly to his vehicle.
He was actually quite interested in the Time Sandbox, but not in the Timewalker sequence.
So far, he is quite satisfied with the Stargazer sequence; he is interested in the artifacts created by the Time Sandbox.
The Time Ring is only ranked around 700, yet its properties are already incredibly powerful.
If the [Time Sandbox] is crafted into a rare artifact, it can become his trump card.
His only real trump card right now is Bingxin, but unfortunately, Bingxin can't provide absolute military support or absolute life-saving abilities.
Therefore, he longed for the [Time Sandbox].
Moreover, he has a hidden characteristic: because of the system, he is almost immune to illusions, which has been verified when he encountered the treacherous and cunning.
In addition, he has a unique advantage in dealing with this strange creature: his super-strong perception of star pupils and star orbits.
He can find the strange entity faster and more easily than others, and his chances of killing it with one blow are also higher.
However, he cannot make these things public.
Although it is unknown what role the Turtle Caravan plays, for now, there are only two main characters in this hunt: the God of War Caravan and the Tiger Caravan.
If Xu Si were to interfere, it would only complicate matters further.
Therefore, he needs to step outside the event itself in order to see the whole picture and take advantage of the chaos.
"Let's gamble!"
"System, integrate and upgrade the [Void Cloak] and [Concealment Belt]!"
[Purification Points -1500, Remaining Purification Points: 96170]
Estimated time: 1 hours
As expected, the system's cold notification sounded in his mind, but Xu Si felt a surge of excitement.
He used to upgrade artifacts by using strange drops, but this was the first time he had tried to upgrade two artifacts together.
He originally intended to trade the Concealment Belt for some strange drops.
However, he is planning to do some petty theft next, so it would be better to upgrade the Empty Cloak!
A blood moon hangs in the sky.
The night wind in the Gobi Desert grew increasingly fierce, whipping sand and gravel against the vehicle and making a fine rustling sound.
In the camp, apart from Shao Bing, who was on duty, and Ta Shan, who had already fallen asleep, everyone else was wrapped in blankets, forcing themselves to sleep with unease.
After all, not everyone can fall asleep on top of a level 4 eerie creature.
"What, are you tempted?" Fu Xiaojian knocked on Xu Si's car window, seemingly noticing that the reading light inside Xu Si's car was still on.
Xu Si rolled down the car window, and the night wind rushed in, carrying the dry cold of the Gobi Desert and the lingering smell of gunpowder.
Fu Xiaojian stood outside the car, his face unusually serious, the dim light of the campfire casting a flickering shadow on his profile.
"A little." Xu Si did not deny it, his gaze falling on the tent in the center of the square that was still lit up.
Fu Xiaojian was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Be careful, don't mess things up! The convoy can only wait for you for two days at most!"
"I know." Xu Si clearly didn't want to give up.
Fu Xiaojian knew of Xu Si's extraordinary abilities and did not offer any further advice.
The two had already developed a tacit understanding sometime earlier.
