Chapter 582: Forging the Armor

Back when he stripped the ability from Ding Shen. Chen Ye had chosen the "Liquid Armor" ability, primarily because he was drawn to its powerful defensive capabilities.

Back then, at the No-Rules Race venue in Oasis City, Ding Shen had used Liquid Armor to block the cut of the Death God's Scythe.

Although he didn't know the Death God's Scythe's number ranking, it was definitely not low.

After all, back in Fog City, Chen Ye and the others had witnessed with their own eyes the Death God's Scythe slicing through the Abyssal Blood Eye and the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

The fact that Liquid Armor could withstand the Death God's Scythe's cut was enough to prove its formidable strength.

It was just a pity that when Ding Shen died, he hadn't explained the cultivation method or the traits of Liquid Armor.

For that, he still had to thank Xiong Baochun for forcibly saving face after getting beaten up by Jiang Rou.

Thinking of Liquid Armor.

Chen Ye raised his hand.

Black liquid surged out from his body, as if it possessed a soul of its own, forming a small armor plate in the palm of his hand.

According to Xiong Baochun, every time Liquid Armor shattered, it was accompanied by a strengthening.

Chen Ye pulled Hatred from his lower back.

A few minutes later.

Chen Ye abandoned the idea of using Hatred to shatter the Liquid Armor.

Attacking Liquid Armor with Hatred was like playing chess with your left hand against your right.

You could never truly improve your chess skills.

It seemed he needed to find someone else to help.

Chen Ye wasn't one to procrastinate; when he thought of something, he did it.

Pushing open the car door, Chen Ye saw a flash of pink hair fluttering in the camp.

It was the Pink-haired Girl, carrying a red plastic bucket back.

The bucket clearly contained some dirty clothes, towels, and some toiletries.

Even her pink hair was still damp.

The skin on her face was so smooth it looked like it would pop at a touch; she had clearly just finished showering.

In her other hand, she carried the Fire Dragon Sword.

She was also wearing a cute pink loungewear set, printed with adorable little bears.

That loungewear was probably something she had brought back during a supply run.

Even from this distance, Chen Ye could feel the youthful aura radiating from the girl.

Compared to the girl's innocence, Chen Ye suddenly felt like some ancient mountain demon, coveting a fresh, pure breath.

Actually, even if the Pink-haired Girl didn't shower, she wouldn't have been as messy as Chen Ye.

But the girl loved cleanliness. Back when conditions didn't allow for showers, she still did her best to stay clean.

Now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to maintain her body's cleanliness.

After finishing today's routine, it was already quite late, and she had just returned from her shower.

That was when Chen Ye spotted her.

"Xixi..."

Chen Ye greeted the Pink-haired Girl with a mischievous grin.

Seeing his playful expression, the girl asked warily, "What do you want!"

Her heart was a bit flustered and panicked.

At this time, in this place...

"Ahem, Xixi, I want to ask you for a favor..."

Chen Ye laid out his plan.

Any remaining hint of ambiguity or wild thoughts in the girl's heart instantly vanished.

A few minutes later.

The two appeared in a secluded, uninhabited spot behind the camp.

Chen Ye condensed a palm-sized black carapace in his hand.

The carapace hovered above his palm, like a black back-plate guard for his hand.

Liquid Armor didn't have floating capabilities.

This was the only way.

The girl, dressed in her cute bear-print loungewear, looked at him seriously: "Are you sure?"

Chen Ye nodded: "Enough talk, just do it!"

"I trust you!"

Chen Ye added that last sentence.

The girl took a deep breath, gently raised her hand, and the Fire Dragon Sword slid from its sheath.

Chen Ye felt a slight chill in his heart and almost instinctively reached for Hatred at his waist.

A flash of sword light.

The back-plate guard on his hand instantly split in two.

Chen Ye's hand was completely unharmed.

The two halves of the back-plate guard turned into liquid and flowed back into Chen Ye's body.

Chen Ye was only just beginning to explore the Liquid Armor's abilities, so it naturally couldn't compare to Ding Shen's former strength.

But Chen Ye could also feel that the Liquid Armor seemed somewhat different.

He could sense that Sun Xixi's strike had been incredibly strong, and the Liquid Armor couldn't recover for now.

When it did recover, it would be stronger than before.

That recovery wouldn't take too long, maybe a day or two from now.

...

The next day, quite a few people in the base came to Hou Junji to exchange for Silent Gold Coins.

This was something Hou Junji himself hadn't expected.

The promotion of the Silent Gold Coin had advanced a little.

That made Hou Junji quite happy.

As soon as dawn broke.

The convoy had breakfast ready.

Breakfast today was lamb noodles.

Yeah, the lamb noodles they got from the Shepherd Convoy.

After this meal, the sheep they'd gotten from the Shepherd Convoy were pretty much all gone.

That was mostly thanks to Iron Lion's voracious appetite.

If they let him go all out, that guy could keep eating forever.

No one knew where the bottom line was for a Titan Sequence getting full.

Of course, Chen Ye, Chu Che, Gong Yong, and the others also contributed.

Gong Yong was now used to the Fair Convoy's meal rhythm.

Every time before the food was ready, he was already waiting with his bowl.

Each of the Superhumans had a very large bowl.

Even the Pink-haired Girl's pink bowl was as big as her own head.

Little Fish's big bowl was even bigger than her head.

The survivor in charge of the Superhumans' small canteen filled each of their big bowls with a full serving of dried noodles, plus half a bowl of lamb.

The group squatted nearby and started slurping loudly.

It felt incredibly satisfying.

No one spoke; even Little Fish kept her little mouth shut.

Just then.

From the direction of the camp entrance came the rumbling roar of an engine and the sound of tires grinding against the road.

Everyone lifted their heads from their bowls.

Before they could even see who it was, they spotted a red flag fluttering in the distance, coming down the main road that ran along the coast.

On the flag were written two large characters: "Emperor"!

Seeing this flag, the Fair Convoy members naturally knew who it was.

There was no one else but that arrogant little penguin, Little Fatty.

Chen Ye swallowed the noodles in his mouth, smacking his lips as he said, "This little fatty hasn't died yet!"

Back in Oasis City, Little Fatty had almost been unable to get out.

Later, during the escape from Oasis City, Little Fatty had gone missing.

No one expected this guy to have survived until now.

Actually, it wasn't that hard to understand.

Little Fatty might seem arrogant, but he was more afraid of death than anyone.

Whenever he encountered danger, this guy was usually the first to flee.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have exhausted all his Supernatural Power to materialize such a giant migration vehicle.

A giant vehicle with zero attack power, only escape capabilities.

Chu Che also stood up, bowl in hand, looking towards the direction of the rumbling sound in the distance.

That somewhat familiar giant migration vehicle was slowly revealing its true form at the end of the road.

Chen Ye was looking in that direction and talking, but his hands never stopped.

Stealthily, he stretched his chopsticks towards the bowl of Squad Leader Chu, who was beside him.

Everyone was looking at the source of the sound anyway, so he probably wouldn't get caught.

Chen Ye's chopsticks picked up a large piece of lamb and quietly pulled back.

Chu Che, chewing on the lamb in his mouth, muttered, "I wonder if that kid Chen Hao has come!"

Like Chen Ye, Chu Che was craning his neck to look in that direction, his own chopsticks not idle either.

He quietly reached into Chen Ye's bowl.

A large piece of lamb was precisely picked up by Squad Leader Chu, then pulled back.

The two sensed something at the same time, looked down, and noticed the anomaly. Then they looked at each other; sparks seemed to fly between their three eyes.

They both snorted coldly, then silently moved away from each other.

Chen Ye edged closer to Little Fish.

Squad Leader Chu moved closer to Gong Yong.

"Is Brother Chen Hao coming?"

Hearing Chen Hao's name, Little Fish was very happy, her eyes wide as she looked in that direction.

In her huge bowl, pieces of lamb were rapidly disappearing.

As for Gong Yong.

That guy was staring at the giant migration vehicle, his mouth hanging open in shock.

His mechanical fanaticism made it impossible for him to look away.

Of course, the lamb in his bowl was also rapidly disappearing.
