Another Sequence Crystal

Real men never looked back at explosions!

Almost the instant the tongue of flame shot out, Jiang He turned and ran toward the cave entrance he had come through.

By the time the fire had fully caught, he had already run hundreds of meters...

With the experience of his previous life, no one was more professional at running away than him!

His figure flashed through the cave at extreme speed, and before long he was back on the surface.

Wang Qian had already returned. Her gently heaving chest showed that she really had been in a hurry...

He was just about to dart onto the bus when he abruptly stopped.

"Huh? It didn't follow me?"

Looking at the dark cave entrance, from which thick smoke was gradually billowing, Jiang He waved for Wang Qian to stop.

The air was frighteningly still. Both of them were on edge, their eyes fixed on the area behind and to the side.

"Liu Lu, he..."

Several minutes passed like that. Seemingly unable to bear the torment any longer, Wang Qian bit her lip and asked in a quiet voice.

But before she could finish, Jiang He had already disappeared from the bus again!

"Did he... do it for me?"

Wang Qian stared in a daze as she watched his retreating figure disappear into the cave again.

She hadn't expected that, just because of a promise he had made to her, this man would be willing to put himself in danger again!

If they had a choice, no one would want to provoke that big guy!

[Ding]

[Congratulations, host, on killing a level 1 supernatural creature: Demon Seed Chigui. Reward: 100 System Points]

Knowing that the Devil Arum wouldn't attack him, Jiang He gradually grew bolder!

He kept throwing bottles of alcohol and darting through the flames, and soon obtained another Superpower Crystal!

Together with the one from before, he was now guaranteed to obtain two Superpower Sequences.

However, this situation didn't last long.

"There's only one bottle left!"

Even though Jiang He had done his best to conserve the alcohol, he was still using it up very quickly.

Without alcohol to fuel it, the fire would be far less effective!

Looking at the Corpse-Devouring Devil Arum, which still showed no sign of movement in the distance, Jiang He rubbed his chin with his right hand, looking troubled!

There were so many Demon Seeds. It was a real pity he couldn't wipe them all out in one go...

Cough, cough!

The thick smoke entering his nose made him cough repeatedly, and tears welled up in his eyes. Even so, he was still reluctant to leave!

"Fuel, fuel..."

Jiang He murmured. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up!

Two bursts of flame shot from his hand, igniting the last bottle of alcohol. He then turned and ran toward the cave entrance.

Jiang He returned to the bus at extreme speed and pulled Wang Qian aside as she was about to shift gears!

For such a short trip, directing her would be too much trouble. He might as well do it himself.

Vroom! Vroom!

The roar of the engine rang through the night sky.

The bus sped away, racing toward the service area's parking lot.

Jiang He had already noticed a gas station there.

The fuel inside would make a perfect substitute for alcohol!

He slowly brought the bus to a stop in front of a pump.

Without wasting a word, he grabbed Wang Qian from the passenger seat, then quickly passed the unconscious people in the cabin and took out the Waste Barrel from the back.

"Fill it up!"

Jiang He spoke to Wang Qian in a commanding tone.

The gas pump nozzle might be password-protected. For this sort of task, someone with the Technician Sequence was clearly better suited than he was!

It wasn't until the large white barrel was placed in front of her that Wang Qian came to her senses.

A trace of dejection flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"He came out alone again... I'm afraid Liu Lu..."

Forcing her tears to stay in her eyes, she quickly composed herself, picked up the nozzle, and began filling the barrel.

No one could guarantee they could rescue Liu Lu from that monster's mouth. The fact that this man had gone this far was already good enough...

With Wang Qian operating the pump, the barrel was soon full of gasoline.

They lifted the gasoline barrel onto the bus and returned to the cave entrance.

"I need you to cooperate with me! Once it's done, I can give you a Superpower Crystal!"

Jiang He stated his terms.

This woman might not be particularly clever, but she certainly wasn't stupid!

Judging by the look in her eyes, she had probably already guessed that Liu Lu was dead.

So, to make sure nothing went wrong with his plan, he had to give her something new to keep her on his side!

"Okay!"

No one would refuse those terms!

The Rampage Group had lost a Superpower Sequence and urgently needed a Superpower Crystal to fill the gap!

After all, the Technician Sequence was rather weak...

To forge iron, one had to be strong oneself!

Only by making the Rampage Group stronger could she escape this bastard's control!

With Wang Qian's assurance, Jiang He had no more worries.

[Flame Jet]!

A scorching tongue of flame ignited the gasoline in the barrel.

Under the control of the [Fire Control] skill, the flames quickly enveloped all the remaining liquid in the barrel.

Like a giant ladle, they scooped up all the gasoline in one go.

The flaming ladle rapidly changed shape in midair, gradually forming an enormous fireball three meters in diameter!

Seeing this, Jiang He didn't dare linger. He carried the fireball and sped into the cave.

The flames in the underground plaza had yet to go out. Thick smoke instantly filled his nostrils, but Jiang He acted as though he hadn't noticed.

"Hehe! Let me treat you to a big one!"

With a strange chuckle, he carried the fireball in one hand and held the urn in the other, quickly approaching the place where the Demon Seeds had gathered.

But before he could throw the fireball, something unexpected happened.

Swish, swish, swish!

The sound of things slicing through the air suddenly rang out through the space.

The Corpse-Devouring Devil Arum in the distance seemed to have noticed something.

Its previously motionless vines suddenly came to life and all attacked Jiang He's position at once!

"Fuck!"

The sudden change made the hairs all over Jiang He's body stand on end.

His eyes darted around, and he finally spotted the problem.

The ashes released by the urn could only cover a two-meter radius around him, while the fireball in his hand alone was already three meters across!

That thing must have sensed the fluctuations he gave off as someone with a Superpower Sequence!

Having figured out the key to the problem, Jiang He hurled the fireball before the attack reached him, then rolled across the ground, narrowly avoiding the lashing vines!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly got up, and moved away from where he had been standing.

The sudden disappearance of Jiang He's presence made the Corpse-Devouring Devil Arum appear extremely agitated!

Its vines lashed wildly at the burning flames. Clearly, it could no longer tolerate what this little mouse had been doing.

But its agitation didn't last long. Black light flashed inside its petals, and it instantly fell still!

Just as he thought!

His earlier guess had been right!

The special ritual currently underway really was taking a tremendous toll on the Devil Arum!

Taking advantage of this, he darted around again, but this time he gained nothing...

"Looks like I need to be more careful!"

Jiang He murmured and decided to try again. A little difficulty like this certainly wasn't enough to make him give up.

Now that the Corpse-Devouring Devil Arum had no time to pay him any attention, he naturally had to seize the chance to get more benefits.

After all, a situation like this was extremely rare!

Before long, Jiang He returned with another fireball.

But this time, he was dumbfounded!

There wasn't a Demon Seed to be seen anywhere in the plaza...

"It's only been a few minutes. Where could those guys have gone?!"

There had been hundreds of Demon Seeds here!

His round trip had taken only five minutes, and he had been guarding the cave entrance the whole time. They shouldn't have been able to get out at all!

Jiang He clearly found it hard to accept. His gaze swept back and forth across the plaza, but he couldn't find the slightest clue...
