Chapter 154 Foster Father
"This feature... is incredibly valuable," Xu Si thought to himself.
In a split second, he thought of several applications.
"Not just combat, but also reconnaissance, early warning, command... and even remote intelligence transmission."
This sharing of spiritual insights has virtually limitless potential.
"Little Luo, you'd better make good use of this feature!"
If used properly, this characteristic is no less powerful than his Starburst.
"Oh? Yes!"
Xiao Luo immediately tensed up; he could sense Dao Ge's high regard for him.
In other words, this characteristic may be very powerful, but he hasn't realized it yet.
"Very good. Don't share it with me yet. Stay focused and conserve your psionic energy. Let me know if anything happens."
"Understood, Brother Dao!" Xiao Luo said happily.
"By the way, Brother Dao, can I trade you some of my weird loot for an Awakening Potion?"
Seeing the strange, unused object fall from his hand, Xiao Luo hesitated before speaking.
"Awakening potion? For whom? Li Miao? Are you two close?"
"Huh? Not familiar? Oh! No, it's just..."
"Want to trade? Sure! But do you know how expensive I am?!"
Xu Si was also very interested in that strange fall.
Moreover, the three strange drops he still has can all be made into awakening potions.
I was just wondering how to send it out.
If Ronaldinho wants it, that's perfect.
Actually, it doesn't matter to him who he gives the ball to, as it will enhance the team's strength anyway.
Ultimately, it will benefit oneself.
"Thank you, Brother Dao. I'll contact you again when I'm resting!" Xiao Luo said somewhat embarrassedly.
He changed the awakening potion, naturally for Li Miao.
Not long ago, when their car was mysteriously knocked away, if Li Miao hadn't protected him with his arm...
He didn't mention the injury, but a concussion is definitely possible.
Moreover, after getting to know Shao Bing and others who joined the team, he also felt that Li Miao was a good person.
Of course, the most important reason is that they are now in the same car.
He certainly couldn't protect the car on his own; the bizarre attack he just suffered was proof of that.
That's why he wanted to exchange a Sequence Awakening Potion for Li Miao.
"Here, take this! Go find Brother Dao when you've rested!"
Xiao Luo handed the light blue item, which he hadn't even warmed up yet, to Li Miao in the driver's seat.
Li Miao's hand on the steering wheel paused, and the car almost slid off course.
"This...this is your stuff, I can't take it."
God knows how Li Miao came up with those words; he regretted them as soon as he said them.
He wanted to slap himself twice. What was he even saying?
His mind was in unprecedented turmoil; awakening was within reach, yet he refused it.
Li Miao took a deep breath; the sound of rain pattering against the car window had never been so clear.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the dark blue water droplet in Xiao Luo's hand.
It lay there quietly, like a frozen heart of the ocean.
He really wanted it; he dreamed about it.
But... what merit or ability does he possess?
"Brother Li," Xiao Luo's voice sounded tired, but very earnest.
"Take it. We're in the same car. The stronger you are, the safer I am. Consider it a loan; you can pay me back later..."
"Thank you... thank you..."
Li Miao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded heavily, clutching the strangely dropped object tightly in his palm.
The cold touch spread along my palm, yet it ignited a spark.
The taillights of the Warrior ahead flickered in the thick rain curtain, and Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Attention everyone, hills ahead, find a place to rest."
hills?
Although the hills couldn't provide shelter from the wind and rain, they were just enough for now.
The convoy slowly drove into the hilly area, its wheels rolling over the muddy slopes and splashing up murky water.
The convoy eventually stopped at a relatively high point, backed by a steep rock face.
"Tashan!"
"clear!"
Finding a rock face is no easy task, and now it's time for the construction team leader, Tashan, to step in.
Digging a cave to provide shelter from the wind and rain was something he was already very good at.
As soon as he placed his hands on the rock face, the rocks seemed to come alive.
Under his palm, it collapsed, shaped, rolled, and reassembled like soft soil, occasionally emitting a cracking, frictional sound.
In just a few breaths, a simple cave, about ten meters deep and three to five meters high, was carved out.
A stone eaves was thoughtfully added at the entrance to prevent rainwater from flowing back in.
"Your skills have improved, Brother Shan." The little girl shielded herself from the rain as she jumped out of the car.
She was fed up with this awful weather; any place that was even slightly dry was a blessing.
Her pickup truck doesn't have the temperature-regulating function that Xu Si has, and it's also running low on fuel, so she doesn't even dare to turn on the air conditioning.
"That's it!" Tashan clapped the stone chips off his hands, grinned, and the rock texture on his body gradually returned to normal.
The others also got out of the car, and soon candles were lit in the cave.
Xiao Luo and Li Miao also got off the big dog.
Li Miao clutched the strangely dropped object in his hand, so nervous that he didn't even hear Fu Xiaojian asking about their situation.
Xiao Luo stood beside him, her silver hair particularly eye-catching, and Jiao Jiao couldn't help but rub it repeatedly.
My younger brother is too easy to bully; he won't be able to when he gets older.
Xu Si did not get out of the car; he was waiting for someone to arrive.
Beside him was a potion for awakening the illusionist's sequence, contained in an ice crystal test tube; he had hastily prepared it on the way.
Compared to a curse apprentice, he felt that an illusionist was more suitable, and as for a succubus, he should forget about it!
As they stopped, the rain actually lessened considerably.
Li Miao hesitated for a moment, but encouraged by Xiao Luo's gaze, he walked to the side of "Conqueror".
The cool raindrops made him much more awake.
The car window slid down, revealing Xu Si's expressionless face, his scarlet star-like eyes standing out starkly in the dim light.
"Mr. Xu..." Li Miao handed over the things in his hand, then spoke somewhat hesitantly, his voice not loud.
"You should know my price, right?" Xu Si had no interest in playing the favor-giving trick.
Moreover, this is not Xu Si's favor, but Xiao Luo's favor.
"Yes, I know. I still owe Xiao Luo one strange item and Mr. Xu three strange items!" Li Miao's tone became more firm.
"Drink it here!" Xu Si nodded in satisfaction and handed over the test tube beside him.
He used to store it in bottles.
But bottles are resources too!
He couldn't afford a single vial of medicine, so the ice crystals were a good fit.
Li Miao wanted to ask what kind of sequence it was, but she held back.
I just hope to awaken like everyone else.
His biggest worry was not sequence difference, but failure to awaken.
That would not only waste Xiao Luo's good intentions, but also waste this sequence potion.
The test tubes, made of ice crystals, were icy cold to the touch, but he gripped them tightly with both hands, making it impossible for them to slip.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu..."
I remembered that I used to call Mr. Xu "Little Red Hair".
He really wanted to slap himself; this was clearly his godfather, and a biological one at that.
Li Miao pursed his lips, swallowed, and drank it all down in one gulp with a feeling of trepidation.
