Chapter 175 Another Promotion
But that's all.
"Brother Xu... I can't hold on much longer!"
Beside Xu Si, Chen Pei's figure emerged from the puddle on the ground, his voice trembling noticeably.
It seems that "Summer Waterfall" has taken a heavy toll on him.
"Where are Tashan and the others?"
"We've already rejoined the convoy!"
"Let's call it a day then!"
Xu Si still had some strength left, but without Chen Pei's help, he didn't have the confidence to fight a group of strange beings one-on-one.
Chen Pei breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two huge water dragons shattered with a crash.
The [Lou Mi] group, which had just been entangled in a dispute, fell into a long period of stagnation!
"Moo..."
"Moo..."
"Moo..."
……
They then all stood still and began to howl for a long time.
The wailing echoed through the city like an ancient and mournful elegy, piercing the rain and spreading far and wide.
It seemed to be mourning for fallen comrades, or perhaps calling out to distant tribes.
At that moment, they seemed like real living beings of flesh and blood.
Xu Si and Chen Pei's figures on the rooftop disappeared together.
Current purification point: 12470
Xu Si sat inside the Conqueror, his mouth almost splitting into a grin. He didn't say much more; if he did this a couple more times, he'd get fat.
"System, upgrade this bottle of water to a Sequence Enhancement Potion (General Type II)."
[Purification Points -2100, Remaining Purification Points: 10370]
With full-time control activated, the Conqueror moves through the city like a ghost.
With the guidance of the myriad snakes and the tour guide flag, Xu Si's return went very smoothly.
When Xu Si arrived, Su Su, Ta Shan, and Chen Pei had already returned to the air-raid shelter. Only one candle was lit in the shelter, and everyone was waiting for Xu Si's return.
"Is everything alright?"
Before Xu Si could finish speaking, he was hit by Jiao Jiao's "echo" as he opened the car door.
The "echo" then circulated among the team members, serving as a form of group therapy: those who were injured received treatment, while those who were not injured simply listened to the echo.
"New features?" Xu Si asked.
"Of course!" Jiao Jiao seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassing scene from yesterday, her little head held high.
"Everyone else is fine. Are you alright? How was the trip?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
Judging from Xu Si's condition, he should be in good shape.
"We killed one level 3 monster, and Chen Pei and I teamed up to kill a few more! Not bad!"
"What were those guys yelling about? If it weren't for Little Luo keeping the psionic barrier up, a lot of people in the convoy would probably have been hit!"
"I don't know either!"
Xu Si was also puzzled, but there didn't seem to be any other unusual changes happening in the city.
"I promised you!"
As he spoke, Xu Si handed the newly upgraded enhancement potion to Tashan.
"This... I don't think I did anything?" Tashan felt somewhat unworthy of the honor.
After all, Xu Si and Su Su contributed the most in the battle just now.
He said it was to lure monsters, but there wasn't much he could actually do.
"We agreed on this beforehand! And you'll need to put in the effort tomorrow!" Xu Si was also quite looking forward to seeing just how amazing the Tower Mountain Sequence 3 would be.
Tashan's dark, rough face was flushed slightly in the candlelight. He rubbed his large, fan-like hands together and finally accepted the ice crystal test tube that shimmered with silver light and blood streaks.
It feels cool to the touch, yet it seems as if a scalding heat is flowing from my palm to my heart.
"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony!" he said in a deep voice. Without saying any more nonsense, he unscrewed the stopper and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
Almost the instant the medicine slid down his throat, Tashan collapsed to the ground.
Xu Si was completely stunned. Was Brother Shan really that straightforward?
Not making any preparations at all?
And what he gave me wasn't vodka, was it?
And wasn't it supposed to start at half a pound? This is clearly an exaggeration.
The little girl quickly applied a few more recovery pills, but Tashan's snoring had already started!
This? ? ?
This? ? ?
This? ? ?
Fu Xiaojian, Su Su, and Xu Si all couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
This guy?
Were they drinking fake medicine?
Why is there nothing wrong with Tashan?
It's not that there's nothing wrong with it; does a forced shutdown count?
At this moment, the veins on Tashan's forehead and neck bulged like dragons, and the rock patterns under his skin seemed to come alive, wildly moving, thickening, breaking and reforming!
A deep, muffled sound, like the friction of the earth's crust, emanated from his body, echoing within the enclosed air-raid shelter and causing the candlelight to flicker.
Jiang Li was speechless at the sight before her.
Xu Si can not only produce awakening potions, but now he can also produce enhancement potions?
Could he really be a pharmacist?
Everyone watched with bated breath.
Wang Hu hugged Yao Yao tighter. The little girl opened her eyes wide and whispered, "Daddy, Uncle Tashan won't turn into a real stone, will he?"
"No, it won't happen," Wang Hu reassured him in a low voice.
At this moment, Tashan really looked like a rock, and the rock texture on its surface became brighter and brighter, as if it were wrapped in a layer of stone.
His already imposing physique swelled even more, making him look like Hulk's twin brother.
However, this also indicates that Tashan has a very high probability of breaking through Sequence 3 this time.
Jiao Jiao couldn't help but cast two more "Recovery" spells, but the milky white halo disappeared into Ta Shan's body as if it had vanished into thin air.
Xu Si was somewhat envious; this kind of physique was simply the most suitable for sequence enhancement drugs.
Everyone was waiting for Tashan's promotion.
The calls of deer that had been echoing throughout the city gradually subsided.
The candlelight flickered uneasily amidst Tashan's heavy snoring.
"The deer have left?" Xu Si frowned slightly.
"Hmm, they've headed out of the city!" Chen Pei's myriad snakes were naturally keeping a close watch on these big guys.
The rain was still fine and dense, but not a sound could be heard.
All sounds were drowned out by Tashan's snoring.
Listening to the continuous snoring, everyone felt a sense of peace, as if they had returned to the world before the apocalypse.
Xu Si was very familiar with this sound.
His mother always said that she couldn't sleep if she couldn't hear his father snoring.
This should have been the time for everyone to go out and collect supplies, but everyone is waiting.
Jiao Jiao wanted to give Ta Shan another "recovery" buff, but Su Su gently pulled her back.
She shook her head, gesturing to Jiao Jiao to wait a little longer.
Unlike them, Tashan's promotion was a process of breaking down and rebuilding.
They were also unsure whether the recovery would be good or bad for him.
The rock patterns on the surface of the mountain rose and fell slowly and rhythmically with his snoring. Each rise and fall seemed to resonate with the earth's veins, causing the surrounding water vapor to splash everywhere.
Time slowly passed amidst the snoring of Tashan Mountain and the resonance of the earth's veins.
About half an hour later, the regular snoring gradually subsided.
The massive body of Tashan is gradually shrinking!
"Click...click click..."
His overly thickened, almost completely petrified outer shell suddenly cracked open with countless fine cracks and then shattered completely.
"Ho—!"
Tashan let out a deep, thunderous growl, and his eyes snapped open.
