Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

The icefish was startled.

In the world of wild monsters, running away means they're afraid of me, which means I can hunt them!

The Axe-Ice Fish roared immediately. This is also a drawback of being powerful and having some intelligence. When you are powerful but not very bright, you start pursuing inefficient things. For example, prestige.

This roar had no effect; it was purely a display of power.

But this roar, along with posing, gave Su Li and the others a little more time.

The train began to accelerate, and Song Mingyu pulled the accelerator handle all the way down, turning the power up to the maximum, just to reach the highest speed in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, Song Mingyu pulled the whistle again.

"Buzz!!!!"

A loud whistle echoed the roar of the icefish, a sound much louder and longer than the icefish's, startling the icefish.

Su Li's eyes lit up. "Let's go back to the disinfection room. Sofia, prepare to fire."

[Mingyu, open the hood seal.]

To maintain the temperature, Zurich had shut off the train's fully enclosed system. Now that it was opened, a large amount of steam billowed out from the engine, creating a rather intimidating sight.

The icefish was taken aback and stopped in its tracks.

However, this steam was only fleeting; soon, the chimney that was emitting steam was frozen shut by ice, and the steam became less and less.

This bought them some more time. Meanwhile, Su Li's train had been upgraded to level 5, considered the highest level among steam-powered trains. Its powerful engine allowed it to accelerate rapidly with the extra time.

Seeing that its enemy was about to escape, the Icefish realized it had been tricked. This time, instead of roaring, it leaped into the ground.

However, Sofia had amazing eyesight. Seeing the Icefish leap up, she immediately threw a grenade.

In an instant, the axe-ice fish felt a flash before its eyes, more dazzling than looking directly at the sun.

Its eyes suddenly went completely blind.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief; this was a flashbang she had just bought in the trading channel with an elemental crystal.

These monsters that like to dig have poor eyesight; some are even blind, and most are afraid of light.

[If he were blind, he wouldn't be affected by the flashbang. But unfortunately, he's not a blind fish.]

The flashbang completely stunned Axe Icefish, who kept shaking his head, trying to shake off the blinding effect.

Song Mingyu opened the sealed doors of the train at the right time, and the train's chimney stopped emitting steam.

Meanwhile, the train's speed was also rapidly increasing. By the time the Icefish regained its sight, the train's speed had already reached 80 kilometers per hour and was still increasing.

Axe Icefish felt angry at being fooled, but what angered him even more was that this enemy who had fooled him dared to head towards his territory!

Su Li said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I had no choice. There's only one road here, brother!"

The Icefish activated its magical energy, burrowing its body underground to feel the vibrations of the train.

He had sensed the tremor during the day. This tremor blatantly ignored him, which is why he ran over from another hilltop to see who was so audacious.

A layer of yellow magical energy emanated from the Axe Icefish, and the surrounding soil turned into water, allowing it to swim on land.

The icefish was extremely fast, quickly reaching a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

Standing on the combat platform atop the train, Su Li looked at the approaching Axe Ice Fish and mentally shouted to Song Mingyu, "Alright, maintain the speed at 100 kilometers per hour. Let's keep him at bay and wear him down!"

Increasing the speed further is pointless. There are no forks in the road for 100 kilometers. 100 kilometers away, there is a huge crystal blocking the track. That area happens to be the fish's territory, so there is nowhere for it to run.

It's better to keep the speed at 100 and consume stamina.

The Icefish swam with all its might. It was not a monster that was good at speed, and accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour was already its limit.

However, he remained calm because he was expending his energy, and so were his enemies. He was confident in his abilities.

Poor fish, it had no idea that what the other side was consuming wasn't stamina, but coal.

Su Li looked at the fish behind her and a mischievous idea popped into her head. She patted Sophia and said, "Come on, Sophia, give him a challenge. Let's have a props race."

Sofia rolled her eyes, knowing that this guy was using Chinese internet memes again.

However, Sofia remained lying on the ground, raising her gun and aiming it at the sharp, shark-fin-like horn that was constantly approaching from behind.

how to spell?

Sofia pondered for a moment. The enemy was a Silver-level opponent; trying to take them down with a sniper rifle was wishful thinking. It would be better to intensify the enemy's attrition.

Sophia enchanted the bullets with wood element. Then she aimed them at the body of the Icefish.

The bullet left the barrel and struck the thick scales of the icefish.

The bronze bullet shattered upon impact, but the wood-attribute magical energy attached to it burst forth, forming thorns of energy.

This disrupted the streamlined shape of the icefish's body, greatly increasing drag.

Four seconds later, the illusory layer of thorns was worn away by the high-speed friction, but Sofia's second bullet came.

Bullets rained down, increasing the drag on the Icefish. The Icefish couldn't do anything about it; it swayed left and right to dodge, which slowed it down and wasted its energy. It was better to just take the hits head-on; at least it didn't have to think about how to dodge.

However, this frustrating experience also fueled the anger in Axe Icefish's heart.

"Yes, slow down a bit, okay, this speed is good." Su Li continuously communicated with Ivan below through the mental connection to control the vehicle's speed.

Meanwhile, Song Mingyu dashed to her dormitory and was fiddling with something.

Su Li could only pray that Song Mingyu could produce some amazing props.

Fortunately, this icefish doesn't seem to have any ranged attack methods, or its ranged attack methods are too slow, so it can't fight back and can only passively take hits.

After defeating a silver-level monster so easily, Su Li felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

The chase lasted for nearly an hour. Sophia had already exhausted most of her magical energy and could only drink a magical energy potion to wait for her to recover.

Happy times are always short-lived. Soon, Su Li heard a message from Ivan: "Brother-in-law, we're almost at Crystal."

"Slow down, it's time to confront it head-on." Su Li closed the manual.

After another round of acceleration, Ivan calculated the remaining distance and applied the handbrake.

"Screech~~" The train made a teeth-grinding braking sound. Su Li and the others stood in the carriage, waiting for the enemy to attack.
