Chapter 168 Hunting Plan
With Xu Si, Chen Pei, and Fu Xiaojian at their three realms, they not only focused their search on gas stations.
They also had time to ransack the shops next door, which was much more leisurely than usual when they were looting.
"Old Fu, I need to talk to you about something!"
It took two bottles of Coke to finally bribe the little girl and get those oil drums settled.
Xu Si finally got down to business.
This was an idea he had as early as when he met Chen Pei.
"What's the matter? As long as you don't stay here, anything is negotiable!"
As the team's key player, Fu Xiaojian still needs to be pampered.
Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu were small targets, while their convoy of dozens of people were practically guiding lights, so staying there was definitely out of the question.
Although Xiao Luo's 'psychic barrier' provides cover, he can only stay there for two or three days at most. Such a big target will be exposed sooner or later.
"I want to hunt a few weirdos!"
"What?"
You might as well stay here!
If it were a single anomaly, he would naturally believe in Xu Si's abilities.
But that's a group of weirdos!
And there's also a mysterious backer of unknown level!
"Don't worry, I definitely won't fight an unprepared battle. What I mean is, just me, Chen Pei, Su Su, and Ta Shan—the few of us can handle it!"
"The convoy will only stay here for two or three days. You can use this time to continue collecting supplies. I'll go and discuss things with the others!" Xu Si said.
Xu Si was certainly not speaking without reason.
If he had to choose between the two eerie creatures, [Lou Mi] and [Yu Xiao], he would definitely choose [Lou Mi].
Although the Loumi is larger, its weaknesses are more obvious!
First, it has a strange physical form; second, it is very large. A large size means a large target, so neither he nor Su Su would have much trouble dealing with it.
Even if we encounter that high-level strange creature, we can simply use some purification points to cleanse its aura. Although there is risk, it is basically controllable.
Moreover, they have an absolute advantage: this is Chen Pei's home turf.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; at worst, we'll reduce one of your strange loot items!"
This kind of thing definitely requires Fu Xiaojian's approval, after all, the team also has to take a lot of risks.
"What do you take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would risk the safety of a convoy just because of some strange drop?"
"But then again!"
"The bizarre must be eradicated at any time!"
"We have no choice but to eradicate them!"
"Our captain is a man of great principle!"
"You're too kind!"
The two exchanged a glance, understood each other, and went about their own business.
Xu Si dared to do this because the opportunity was rare, and the team had the double protection of Xiao Luo and Jiang Li, so there wouldn't be any major problems.
While he needs purification points and the strange drops, the convoy needs supplies even more.
The only strange place in Yanshi now is [Lou Mi], and Chen Pei is a great guide. It would be a shame to miss it.
In fact, Fu Xiaojian originally wanted to rest here, and now he's just taking advantage of the situation.
Xu Si didn't have to put in much effort to win over Chen Pei, Su Su, and Ta Shan.
Chen Pei already owed Xu Si a favor, so this was his way of repaying it. Xu Si, on the other hand, smoothed over the strange item he owed Xu Si, not wanting the honest kid to suffer a loss.
As for Su Su, it's even simpler. This child is one who needs to fight to grow, so she craves battle more than anyone else. Xu Si also smoothed out Jiao Jiaoqian's strange fall.
As for Tashan, Xu Si promised him a strengthening potion.
Tashan was close to breaking through to Sequence 3 after the battle with the [Chi-tailed Shark Crocodile] group. If Xu Si were to provide him with an enhancement potion, he might be able to break through tonight.
However, Xu Si promised a strengthening potion after the battle.
He currently only has 3570 purification points, enough to upgrade just one potion, which he plans to use to break through to Sequence 3 tonight.
Since entering the Rain World, the only ways he can improve his sequence are through Star Anchors and potions.
He couldn't see any stars in the sky, not even the blood-red sun, so his stargazing was completely useless.
The energy absorbed by the Star Anchor was also greatly weakened. At this rate, he felt that upgrading to Sequence 3 in the Rain World was unlikely.
He couldn't wait any longer!
He didn't care about wasting it anymore; after all, he had already wasted five-figure purification points, so what difference would a little more make?
He's definitely going to drink the fourth vial of medicine tonight.
He was promoted to Sequence 3 as well.
Actually, he wanted to bring Xiao Luo along, because Xiao Luo's shared spiritual senses were very useful. However, Xiao Luo also needed to ensure the safety of the convoy, so Xu Si gave up on that idea.
As for how to distribute the strange drops?
Xu Si felt a little embarrassed to take advantage of the three of them. It would be best if they could split the profits equally, but if they couldn't, Xu Si would compensate them.
After all, Xu Si currently has four strange drops in hand.
One is an Abomination Finger Bone that can be exchanged for the [Cursed Apprentice Sequence Awakening Potion], and the other three were given to him by Chen Pei backstage at the theater.
After refueling, the convoy returned to the theater. The place was large enough that the eerie creatures rarely came here, and Chen Pei was familiar with it, making it a suitable temporary base for the convoy.
The only downside is that Chen Pei has looted all the supplies in the vicinity.
A pale blue barrier slowly appeared above the theater, and Xiao Luo had already deployed his psionic barrier.
Now that he has advanced to Sequence 2 Radiant Spirit, his psionic barrier is more stable and has a larger range.
Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu quickly got to know the core members of the team.
The team members maintained the utmost goodwill towards these two excessively good-looking "siblings".
After all, everyone can understand the situation of a Sequence 3.
"If you want to gather supplies, you'd better go to the area you came from today. I haven't searched that area yet, and it's also more suitable for hunting [Deer].
"If you need, my Ten Thousand Serpents can guide you," Chen Pei said.
"Were all those strange loot drops you gave me obtained from hunting [Lou Mi]?" Xu Si asked, seemingly having thought of something.
"There's only one problem: [Lou Mi] is difficult to hunt. They're too big, and the damage I can inflict is very limited. Also, they're very fast, moving like the wind in the city. If they find themselves outmatched, they'll either run away immediately or call for their companions!" Chen Pei explained.
"I usually avoid them!"
"The [Lou Mi] I killed was the one that caused Sister Jinxiu mental harm; it was very difficult to kill!" Chen Pei added.
It sounds like it's really hard to kill.
"Brother Dao, are you going to kill some weirdo? Can you take me with you?" the little girl volunteered.
"Why bring you along, you burden? To feed the monsters? You probably aren't to their liking!"
"You're not into weird stuff at all!" Jiao Jiao was immediately enraged and embarrassed!
"You dare look down on me? I'm about to reach Sequence 2!"
"You just wait! When you're injured, I'll make you kneel down and beg me for help. Even then, it depends on my mood!"
"snort!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
Tang Jinxiu and Chen Pei watched the two bickering in surprise; it had been so long since they had seen such a scene.
