Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

As soon as Ockham finished speaking, all the golden light on his body was absorbed into the huge orb in his hand.

He himself quickly became weak and listless, but his body did not revert to the original image of the old ghost.

"What is this?" Qi Guohui couldn't help but ask.

“This power is limited. I’ll put it away for now and use it when the enemy attacks,” Ockham said, holding the orb. “I only need to retain a certain amount of its power.”

"Let's go, don't keep Orochi waiting."

"Wait, what about these two?" Jingzhe pointed to the half-dead, skinny worm and the blind, fat worm.

“Just leave them here,” Ockham explained. “They were specially created gatekeepers to protect the water supply project and assist in mining after the tribesmen awoke, so as to restore production as quickly as possible. They were specially modified and are extremely dependent on the lava environment. If you take them up there, they will starve to death in a few days.”

With that, he waved his hand, and the water enveloped Su Li and the others. The group followed closely behind Ockham and arrived outside the research institute.

The giant serpent had been waiting outside for a long time. When it saw Ockham, its slightly narrowed eyes widened suddenly, even causing the surrounding still seawater to ripple.

It was clear that the giant snake was quite surprised to see Occam.

"Great Serpent Lord." Ockham bowed to the serpent. "It is a pleasure to see you. May the Pure Water bless you for being alive."

[Buzz~~] [The nostalgic sound of a bugle]

The giant serpent hissed. Then it opened its mouth, enveloping everyone in a light barrier, and then carried them back to Su Li's camp.

Upon arriving at the camp, the giant snake put Suli and the others down, and then went to catch up with Ockham.

Qi Guohui seemed to have some communication with Ockham, but that was none of Su Li's business.

They were just guides and thugs; all they had to do was wait for their paychecks.

Compared to those trivial calculations and schemes, Su Li now longs to return to the train and properly train his Sun and Moon Revolving Sword. He feels there's something yet to be discovered, and he's itching to get his hands dirty.

Sofia, too, needs to properly digest the experience she gained in actual combat.

However, this also brought some problems. Zurich and Sofia were progressing rapidly, and Ivan and Song Mingyu were about to fall behind.

Su Li thought for a moment and realized she needed to catch up with her teammates. Otherwise, the gap would widen, and the team wouldn't be able to continue.

After much deliberation, Su Li decided that once they returned, she would give Ivan and Song Mingyu each an opportunity to comprehend the Dao of Civilization. The profound wisdom Su Li and Sophia gained from witnessing the world's destruction had not yet been fully utilized, and they did not need such an opportunity for the time being.

The key is to convert your civilization contribution points into real power as soon as possible.

Of course, Ivan and Song Mingyu did not come away empty-handed from this adventure.

With Occam's help, the Serpent People's technology was quickly deciphered.

As participants, Su Li and his team also obtained a lot of technical information, which was beneficial to them. However, the one who benefited the most was Song Mingyu.

The materials contain a large amount of information on designing and modifying magical abilities, as well as healing techniques, which can greatly supplement her knowledge in this area.

If it weren't for the boost her bedroom provided to enhance her research progress, she probably would already be living in her research lab.

Ivan, on the other hand, took a class with the Snake Man King and learned a great deal.

Time slipped away slowly amidst everyone's busyness.

On the sixth day after Zurich and his companions arrived in this world, all the rituals were finally completed.

Zuli and the others arrived at the ceremony venue early, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

After confirming several times that there were no problems, Zheng Hongyuan raised his right hand.

"Attention all departments, attention all departments, countdown, 10, 9, ... 2, 1, start."

At Zheng Hongyuan's command, the massive ritual array set up on the ground began to glow.

Meanwhile, the giant serpent that had been watching the ritual site from afar also emitted a blue-gold radiance after a buzzing sound, echoing the ritual formation.

"The initial resonance between the two sides has been completed, and the purification of the serpent's magical energy will begin."

After the command was given, the radiance of the ceremony began to flash, synchronized with the radiance emanating from the serpent.

The magical energy on the giant serpent began to change; first, the golden light on the serpent gradually faded.

This signifies that the power of faith within the giant serpent is gradually being abandoned.

Then, the deep blue magic energy on the serpent gradually lightened, turning into a clear blue belonging to the water element.

As the magical energy changed, the enormous body, which seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see and resembled a moving cliff, began to gradually shrink.

The ritual lasted a long time; the changes in magical energy alone lasted a whole day.

During this time, Su Li and the others did not leave, but observed the changes in the serpent's magical energy.

This ritual formation originated from a deity specializing in creation, and its level was extremely high; Su Li and his group couldn't understand how it worked at all. Even the logistics team that set up the ritual couldn't comprehend it. They were simply drawing the formation and arranging the objects according to the instructions.

However, Su Li and the others were able to understand some of the changes in the giant serpent's magical energy.

Especially in the later stages, the process of water element magic energy transformation is a process of continuous purification of water element, which shows Su Li and the others how the unique water element is transformed step by step into the purest basic water element.

The experience gained, if used positively, is very helpful in resisting various unique water elemental damage in the future. If used negatively, it can also help them build their own unique water elemental magic.

One of the characteristics of Silver-level magic is that it can endow magic with its own unique properties.

In gaming terms, that would be like saying, "You witnessed a great ceremony; your water magic resistance and water elemental insight have increased."

When the ritual entered its third stage, when the giant serpent officially began its ancestral reversion, Su Li and his companions were completely baffled. It involved a vast amount of knowledge about creation, which Su Li and his group had absolutely no exposure to.

Su Li and the others snapped out of their reverie, feeling utterly exhausted. This was somewhat similar to the world destruction they had witnessed earlier; they had seen a deluge of incomprehensible information, causing their spirituality to falter.

Su Li looked up at the time; it was only 8 a.m. There was still some time before the portal opened tonight.

"Let's go back, eat and drink well, get a good night's sleep, and recharge our energy."

It was uncertain whether the enemy herding the livestock would return, but with the final moments approaching, Su Li did not want to slack off here.

After returning to their dormitory and resting for a while, in order to maintain their good condition, Su Li and the others did not train, but instead began to study the knowledge they had chosen.

Zurich arrived at the workshop.

He took out the support item he had obtained during this exploration, Air Candy, from his inventory.

【Air Candy】

[Candy made by an alchemist under the command of the God of Pioneers]

When held in the mouth, it releases air suitable for the user and regulates the user's internal and external air pressure.

Each piece can last for 2 hours and will be destroyed after this exploration ends.

Su Li picked up the tools on the table and flexed her fingers. "I'll use the rest of the time to study this little gadget and see if I can crack it."
