Chapter 257 Level 5 Mystery - Viper
At this moment, the pool resembled a piece of black glass struck by a stone; instead of ripples, countless fine, irregular cracks spread across its surface.
The cracks spread silently, instantly covering the entire water surface and then spreading across the entire grassland.
In the end, the earth and sky seemed like shattered bubbles, and everything was covered with cracks.
Then, starting from the center of the pool, everything began to dissipate.
This scene reminded everyone of pieces of paper burning to ashes.
At this moment, the grassland is like a blank sheet of paper.
Qiu Biao and the others slumped onto the cracked grass, their faces a mixture of shock and despair, as if they had survived a disaster.
The pole even let out a sob that was hard to tell whether it was a cry or a laugh.
The grassland gradually revealed its true form; it turned out that this was not a grassland at all, but an endless desert.
"That's awesome! I told you, there's nothing that can't be solved with equal amounts. If there is, then just stack equal amounts!" This is a tribute from Sequence 1 - Bomberman.
Looking at the crimson sphere that exploded in front of him, Ge Xiaozhou shouted and yelled, as if he could see his future path.
"Everyone, on alert!" Fu Xiaojian roared from the Xinhuo train team.
The scene before them confirmed Lu Xun and Fu Xiaojian's suspicions; they had been living under the watchful eyes of the strange entity all along.
[Level 5 Weird Detection: Viper]
【Features: Green Cage, Despair Induction, Spatial Nesting】
[We strongly recommend staying away from this place immediately!!!]
The moment the system notified him, Xu Si had already enveloped the entire convoy with a star screen.
The Changsheng team on the opposite side seemed to have made the same choice.
Because Xu Si's star veins could no longer sense the existence of the Longevity Car Team.
Those ordinary people exposed to the elements, such as Qiu Biao and Ganzi, stood frozen in place, their faces drained of all color.
It's not that they don't want to move, but that they can't.
The pale green mist that emanated from the deep pit, like living tentacles, wrapped around their ankles and calves, and then quickly spread upwards.
Wherever the fog passed, their skin quickly lost moisture, becoming dry and ashen, and their faces and eyes were completely replaced by despair.
"Uh...ha..."
Qiu Biao let out a strange hoarse sound, his eyes fixed on the direction of the vanished firewood convoy, his gaze filled with deep resentment and a final plea.
However, I have no regrets whatsoever.
His body began to crack like weathered plaster, and then silently crumbled into a pile of gray-green sand, which, swept up by the wind, became part of the desert.
Before Ganzi and the others could even let out their final screams, they followed in their footsteps.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten living people vanished without a trace.
Xu Si never expected that after advancing to Sequence 4, he would immediately face the bizarre pressure of Level 5.
It wasn't just Qiu Biao and his group that were shattered into dust.
As the pale green mist dissipates in the wind, the once vast and flat grassland peels away like pieces of an old, cracked, and faded oil painting, revealing the true landscape beneath.
That was the boundless yellow sand.
Rough, scorching, and deathly still, it steamed with twisted heat waves under the blood-red sun.
It was the complete opposite of the comfort of the grassland I had experienced before.
In the distance, the undulating sand dunes resembled solidified golden waves, stretching all the way to the horizon and meeting the scarlet sky.
This is where they are really.
"As expected..." Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the car radio, carrying a hint of chill as if the dust had settled.
"It's all fake."
Xu Si maintained the "Star Curtain," and the ethereal light shield, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloped all the vehicles of the Xin Train convoy.
Xu Si's own sequence energy was also rapidly dissipating.
Fortunately, the reappearance of the Blood Sun provided him with a continuous supply of resources.
After advancing to Sequence 4, Star Anchor's energy extraction becomes far more efficient than before.
Outside the light curtain, the air itself was slightly distorted by the high temperature.
He could clearly sense that beyond the starry sky, a vast, ancient, and malevolent "gaze" was slowly awakening from the heavens.
The feeling didn't come from any specific direction, but rather permeated the entire space, as if this sky were the shell of the [Viphan].
Xu Si's biggest worry right now is whether this guy will re-release his "Green Cage" ability.
If that were the case, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?
As for him directly defeating this level 5 anomaly.
For him, who had just unleashed a massive 'starburst' and was now maintaining a huge 'star curtain,' this was nothing short of a joke.
Even the "Father of Ultra" would have to raise a red flag at this moment.
As for the other members of the team, Xu Si was equally pessimistic, as low-position sequences and mid-position sequences are two different things.
Xu Si was confident that even if all the extraordinary units in the team were combined, they wouldn't be a match for him, a single Sequence 4.
Not to mention that it's now a Level 5 anomaly, the gap will only be greater.
"All vehicles, silence!!!" Xu Si ordered.
Others didn't know what it was, but Xu Si knew perfectly well!
At this moment, outside the starry sky, the desolate desert seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand.
The fine yellow sand began to rise slowly against gravity, suspending and swirling several meters above the ground, forming slow-moving sand streams.
The sand flow gathered more and more, intertwining and colliding with each other, producing a subtle but teeth-grinding friction sound, as if countless grains of sand were gnawing at each other.
Is this guy looking for someone?
Xu Si was somewhat surprised; this person was intelligent.
This is a bit too intelligent, isn't it?
At this moment, the sky.
If that can still be called the sky.
The low-hanging, purplish-red clouds began to churn violently. Deep within the clouds, a thought slowly awakened and then meticulously plowed through the desert below.
Xu Si had no idea how the Changsheng Convoy would escape this disaster.
But his Star Screen is really useful.
Xu Si could sense the probes passing over his star screen again and again, but he found nothing unusual.
This is the starry sky, this is nothingness.
Within the starry sky, all was deathly silent.
Xu Si's words were quite effective; since he indicated silence, there really wasn't a sound.
Even the crows cowered and tried to crawl under the ambulance.
Unfortunately, its enormous body couldn't even squeeze through the door, but thankfully its three heads could still fit under the car. With its massive body sticking out, it had learned the essence of 'self-deception'.
He felt that immense pressure even more acutely than Xu Si did.
Niu Niu then transformed back into a 'backpack'.
"Xu Si, do you need help?" Yi Yi's voice rang directly in Xu Si's mind. She could feel that Xu Si's sequence energy was rapidly depleting.
"Not for now!" The energy replenished by the Star Anchor is roughly offset by the energy required to maintain the Star Curtain, so although his sequence energy is being consumed, it is also being replenished.
Through the starry sky, Xu Si looked out at the outside world.
