Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

"Well done!" Qi Guohui couldn't help but praise.

With the slender worm paralyzed, its mobility was greatly reduced, and its remaining small upper body segment could hardly form an effective attack. It was no longer like a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.

Su Li smiled slightly, "It's not over yet. Cover me, let's get closer to that skinny guy."

Qi Guohui signaled to the remaining teammates, and Sophia and Jingzhe began to do their best to limit the fat worm's attacks.

Under Qi Guohui's cover, Su Li quickly approached the skinny worm, then picked up the mountain shovel and began to skin the worm.

After cutting off a scale, Su Li used the Mountain Incliner to cut under the skin, relying on the freezing and softening effect of the ice to successfully cut open the outer skin and expose the flesh inside.

"We've found the aorta." Su Li revealed a devilish smile.

He reached into the aorta and tore open a small opening. The aorta was as thick as his thigh, and a large amount of blood flowed out after it was torn open.

The blood was very hot, but not unbearable.

Su Li then took out an oxygen tank. Due to the immense pressure of the seawater, the oxygen tank deflated as soon as it was taken out.

Su Li didn't mind and directly inserted the oxygen tank into the aorta, starting to release air into it.

This was the first time Song Mingyu encountered a parasite, and her ingenious actions were later learned by Su Li, who was amazed and secretly memorized the technique.

Su Li and the others clung to the skinny worm like bloodsuckers. No matter how much the skinny worm struggled, Su Li, protected by Qi Guohui, remained unmoved and just kept releasing air into it.

A large amount of air enters the parasite's bloodstream, causing an air embolism.

At the same time, Zuli also put hemostatic drugs into the blood vessels.

Once these drugs enter the bloodstream, they exert a clotting effect, forming numerous blood clots that, like landmines, flow towards the parasite's brain as the blood flows.

Feeling that she had let out enough air, Su Li closed up the torn wound.

Then the two of them left the skinny guy.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this skinny worm will die soon.

With the threat of the skinny worm resolved, Su Li and the others turned their attention to the remaining fat worm.

The fat bug's role is as a long-range turret. Now that it's blind, it can only crouch in the lava lake and attack randomly, resulting in a very low hit rate.

"Can you still use the skill you just used?" Qi Guohui asked.

"No, equipment skills need to be charged. Besides, it's very difficult for us to get across." Su Li looked at the lava lake with a troubled expression. Swimming across to attack was too risky.

Su Li didn't want to fall into lava, then give a thumbs up, say "I will back," and wait in the underworld for his wife to rescue him.

At that moment, the sound of the Awakening of Insects came through the mental connection.

"Hey! I have a great idea."

"speak."

"Captain, look! That melee giant bug is dead. Sophia and I are holding off that ranged bug here, so you guys can sneak in and attack our base, right?"

Su Li and Qi Guohui exchanged a glance. "Great idea! This isn't a game. If you don't kill the boss, you can't trigger the storyline."

Why don't they just raid their base?

"You're a true genius," Qi Guohui praised.

"Hehe~"

The two of them continued towards the cave together.

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, the old snake-man with his head smashed was trembling all over, kneeling on the ground, muttering madly, "Impossible, Great Serpent Lord, my Great Serpent Lord cannot fail..."

Looking at the old man, Su Li felt a pang of sympathy. Based on the old man's account and what she had seen along the way, she could guess that the old man was probably some kind of tomb keeper, and that the cave below was where the sleeping snake people resided.

Furthermore, there is a high probability that these snake people are just illusions from the past. In reality, these people have long since died, but have been resurrected as an NPC faction in the game under the power of the Eternal Game.

Because if these snake-people were still alive when they were captured by the Eternal Game, they would most likely be playing the Eternal xx Game right now, just like the Blue Star civilization, instead of waiting to die in this fragment of a world on the verge of destruction.

Su Li observed the old snake-man carefully once again. The reason why the snake-man was not dead even though his head was smashed was because he had become some kind of undead creature due to his obsession.

Unfortunately, Qi Guohui is a righteous knight who is also skilled in light magic and adept at exorcising the souls of the dead.

Qi Guohui looked at this last guardian of civilization with respect. Even though he had gone mad and become an undead, he still wanted to protect his people. This persistence reminded him of many people.

Qi Guohui opened his mouth, wanting to say many things, but the matter was too complicated—the Eternal Game, the illusions of the past, and so on—to be explained in a short time. He also hesitated, wondering if it would be too cruel to tell the mad old man, in the final moments of his life, that the people he had protected were long gone and that he was merely an illusion.

In the end, all the thoughts culminated in a sigh.

"rest in peace."

As he raised his hand, a holy light emanated from Qi Guohui's hand, enveloping the old man.

The radiance of the ritual stimulated the necromantic aura emanating from the undead, causing the old man to cry out in pain.

"Ughhhh, no, I can't die! Orochi, Orochi, save me!"

The old snake-man lay on the ground, trembling as he reached out to the distant parasites. His body, starting from his tail, slowly turned into gray sand. The power of the exorcism acted on his soul, making him think of many things all at once.

"Yes, yes, yes, Orochi-sama, Orochi-sama was blasted in two by the fragments of the exploding world."

"The Great Serpent Lord is dead! My father is dead, my sister, my brother, everyone, everyone is dead. I, I..."

"I can't die!"

The old man suddenly emitted a bluish-gray light, which abruptly stopped the purifying light.

Qi Guohui instinctively sensed something was wrong, and he instantly poured almost all of his magical energy into the purification process to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"My great serpent lord, the one I created, is going to die too."

The old man murmured softly, and the blue-gray radiance on his body almost dissipated under the suppression of Qi Guohui's golden light.

But even this last glimmer of light refused to fade away, even unto death.

"But I cannot die, behind me, behind me are my last subjects."

"Something's not right." Su Li's hair stood on end; he sensed something very unusual and extremely wrong.

In the darkness, he seemed to hear many voices.

Although each voice is very small, they undoubtedly exist and are calling out for something.

“I heard it, I heard it, my subjects, my blood relatives.”

The old snake, lying on the ground, struggled to straighten its head, and the black mist emanating from its body emitted specks of golden light.

"What a joke!" Qi Guohui's expression changed drastically. "It actually absorbed the purifying light instead."

"Yes, I can't die."

"I am no longer the prince who could only hide in the back and do nothing."

"I'm"

"The Last King of Ockham, the Keeper of the Souls of Ockham!"

"I cannot! Fall! Here!"

With the old snake-man's final roar, countless golden specks of light, like fireflies, emerged from the cave behind him and entered his body.

The old snake-man's body was bathed in golden light, constantly repairing itself. His withered skin began to plump up, his dull scales became shiny again, his hunched body straightened, the aura of death dissipated from him, and a terrifying majesty emerged from him.

The Last King straightened his back, his four hands clasped together, and light condensed in his hands, becoming a spear, a horn, and a jewel.

A magnificent suit of armor enveloped his robust body, and finally, the radiance condensed above his head, forming a golden crown that rested upon him.

Su Li opened her mouth wide, glanced at the golden enemy, then looked down at herself.

That's awesome, a tribute to the brilliant ones, we're doomed.
