Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Su Ye's unfocused gaze instantly sharpened into two icy, cold stars!

Almost at the same instant, the charred, severed hand at Xu Jiang's feet, which had already been deemed "dead," suddenly underwent a strange change!

His entire arm suddenly exploded!

It wasn't an explosion, but rather dozens or even hundreds of premeditated black and red tentacles bursting out from within!

These tentacles seemed to possess independent life and will, moving faster than imagined, like a swarm of venomous snakes that would devour anyone they chose, instantly coiling around Xu Jiang's legs, waist, and the arm holding the gun!

"What?!"

Xu Jiang was shocked, his bloodshot eyes suddenly shrinking!

He never expected that a severed arm could launch such a vicious and bizarre attack!

He wanted to unleash his blood flames to burn away these disgusting things, but his internal energy had just undergone a high-intensity depletion, and he was unable to instantly unleash a blazing fire strong enough to cover his entire body and completely purify all the tentacles!

Blood flames erupted, scorching the outermost tentacles until they sizzled and turned to charcoal.

But the inner tentacles were fearless and even as they were being burned, they frantically extracted Xu Jiang's energy and life force through their suckers to generate more new tentacles!

As one layer of charred material peels off, another layer wraps around it!

Even more terrifying was that the tips of those tentacles, like the mouthparts of the most greedy leeches, frantically searched for any opening they could penetrate, the ear canal, the nostrils, and even tried to pry open his lips, which were slightly parted in shock and anger!

They are ubiquitous, and once they find a gap, they will not hesitate to drill inside!

"Ughhhhh!"

Get out of here!

Xu Jiang let out a roar of pain, both shocked and furious, as he felt something cold and slippery drill into his ear and pierce his eardrum.

Something was wriggling inside my nostrils, causing unbearable itching, pain, and a feeling of suffocation.

even······

And this was the only chance Su Ye had been waiting for to turn the tide!

"die--!!!"

Having gathered his strength for a long time, Su Ye transformed his pale, newly grown right and left arms into ferocious, dark claws!

The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his body, like a cannonball, rammed into Xu Jiang amidst the chaos, using himself as his last weapon!

Five meters, three meters, one meter!

Xu Jiang barely managed to turn his head, and in his blood-red pupils he saw Su Ye's eyes burning with cold flames and his increasingly ferocious claws. He finally realized the deadly danger, and for the first time, clear terror appeared in his eyes!

He tried to raise his rifle to parry, and to unleash his last burst of blood flames to force the opponent back, but the tentacles on his body entangled him tightly, and the intruders inside his body disrupted the flow of energy, making all his movements a beat slower!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two muffled thuds, almost simultaneously!

Su Ye's claws, one of which dodged the hastily parried rifle from the side, pierced deeply into Xu Jiang's ribs!

The other one, from a tricky angle, pierced Xu Jiang's lower abdomen from below!

Full power consumption, start!

"No--!!!"

Xu Jiang's screams were extremely agonizing.

He felt countless tentacles sloping out from those claws, spreading wildly throughout his entire body!

Wherever it went, its flesh and blood, even the origin of the Mechanic sequence and the Blood Flame Core, were devoured by the tentacles!

Xu Jiang's robust body withered away at a visible rate, his skin lost its luster, and the intense bloodlust in his eyes quickly dimmed and went out.

He opened his mouth, as if to curse or beg, but no sound came out.

As the blood energy, sequence power, and the raging "blood flame" source surged in, the nearly depleted [alien body] sequence within Su Ye's body seemed to receive timely rain after a long drought, emitting a greedy and joyful roar!

Although this energy was complex, the [alien] sequence was not picky at this time. In fact, it operated with unprecedented efficiency, violently dismantling, purifying and transforming this incoming energy!

The first thing to be satisfied was that already battered and broken body.

The stiffness at the reattachment point of the severed arm disappeared instantly, and the pale skin of the newly grown right arm was quickly tinged with a healthy rosy hue by the abundant blood and energy. The muscle fibers became denser and stronger, and the bones emitted a faint hum, completing the final strengthening and shaping.

The muscles in the deep wounds on the chest, abdomen, and back, which were so deep that the bone was visible and even withered and blackened by the blood flames, were rapidly regenerating and rejuvenating, restoring them to their original state.

The repair speed was astonishing!

This is not just a simple "healing," but a repair and strengthening at the level of life itself.

Each energy surge makes his cells more active, his fascia more resilient, and his bone density subtly increase.

During this frantic repair process, the massive energy flow did not stop, continuously impacting the bottleneck within his body that represented the peak of the first tier.

Finally, at the peak of a certain energy surge—

"Snap!"

That solid barrier, like a dam breached by a flood, was suddenly opened up!

A deep, restrained, yet chilling aura, carrying a sense of oppression that made one's heart tremble, slowly emanated from Su Ye's body, then quickly receded.

The last trace of his wounds disappeared, and his new skin was smooth yet resilient, exuding an inhuman sense of perfection.

The dark red light deep within his pupils flickered, appearing profound and seemingly able to pierce through illusion.

He officially entered the second stage.

Almost at the same time that he completed his breakthrough and his physical condition stabilized, Xu Jiang's withered and unrecognizable body also exhausted its last bit of energy and material support. Like a skin bag with all its bones removed, it turned into a large cloud of grayish-white dust with a soft "poof" sound, falling down and mixing with the dust in the camp.

The blood-red rifle, stripped of all its spirit, snapped into several pieces with a "crack".

The process of devouring has completely ended.

Su Ye slowly retracted his claws, the claw form dissipated, and he returned to his slender yet powerful human hands.

He stood still, closing his eyes to feel.

The surging energy within my body has subsided, replaced by a more solid, profound, and effortless sense of power.

My body felt both much lighter and much heavier—a contradictory illusion born from an enhanced sense of control over my own mass and strength.

My five senses became more acute, and I could even clearly distinguish the movement of dust in the air and the faint whistling of the wind blowing through the cracks in the rocks in the distance.

With a thought, I checked the current status of the [Alien] sequence.

[Sequence Awakening: Alien]

[Essence: A Bizarre Shared Origin]

[Order: Second order (0/200)]

[Core: Mysterious Power.]

[Strange Source Power (Tier 2): 100/100]

[Sequence - Second-Order Uncanny Power: 125]

The number was less than expected, but Su Ye was not dissatisfied.

He could sense that the quality of both the 100 points of second-tier strange source power and the 125 points of second-tier strange power was far superior to that of the first tier, and the effectiveness they could exert was also far greater than before.

More importantly, he survived and was promoted!
