Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After taking another look, Su Li dismissed her previous thought.

This is more than just a cave. You can see many wooden tree roots on the surrounding walls, which are probably the roots of some kind of huge plant. The entire cave space is about 3 meters high and more than 60 square meters, which is very small.

This plant must be dead, because the wood here is somewhat rotten, and you can still see a few bluish mushrooms growing on the roots.

But these are small things.

The ones who really struck it rich were the group on the other side.

This is yet another group of otherworldly creatures, with bodies like deer but heads resembling canines. Their skin has a gelatinous texture, their limbs are foldable, and their knees have hoof-like structures.

Zurich recognized these creatures; their name, translated from the Blue Star script, was "wolf-like deer," an omnivorous animal. The one in front of him was likely a subspecies native to the area.

This deer has a unique characteristic: it can mimic the posture of a wolf. Its long, slender legs can be folded, and when folded, combined with the keratinous layer on its knees, it can mimic the posture of a wolf.

[The deer I saw outside when the train was moving earlier should be this type.]

Su Li lifted the Mountain Sway, which used to feel very light, but now felt somewhat heavy. He had exhausted too much of his strength. His magical energy was also almost depleted.

"Cough cough cough..." Song Mingyu coughed violently, spitting out the sand in her mouth. But her hands didn't stop; she released a magical energy spring towards Su Li.

A phantom spring of water bloomed from beneath Su Li's feet. Su Li felt a pure magical energy, similar in nature to her own, enter her body and replenish her depleted magical energy.

At this moment, Song Mingyu's magical energy was completely depleted. She could only wait for it to replenish inside the magical energy spring.

"rely on you."

"rest assured."

Zuli raised the mountain-shaped object and stared at the wolf-like deer in front of him.

[A total of 12 individuals, including 9 adults and 3 juveniles...]

When the herd was discovered, they were using their magical energy to reinforce the space to withstand the tremors of the earth. Large amounts of soil, after being reinforced, transformed into hard rocks with a faint crystalline sheen.

After Su Li and his group entered, the deer raised their heads one by one, their pale yellow eyes staring at them.

As mentioned before, they are omnivores and don't mind having extra meals.

The lead deer roared and charged towards Su Li first.

With Song Mingyu right behind her, Su Li couldn't hide.

He brandished his greatsword. In the past, his attacks mainly consisted of wide-ranging swings, but this time, Su Li changed his attack style, focusing on diagonal slashes supplemented by thrusts, with none of the blades reaching his back.

This move has a special name in basic greatsword techniques: Protect the Lady.

Using the momentum of his sword, Su Li swung it at a steady pace, startling the deer opposite him. Those without experience would have no idea how intimidating a skilled swordsman could be when drawing a blade in front of them.

The deer tried to break through several times, but Su Li did not accelerate. Instead, she maintained a mechanical swinging motion. The clever deer seemed to have figured out some patterns. Taking advantage of a large gap in Su Li's movement, the three deer charged directly at Su Li.

Su Li's greatsword suddenly accelerated, the blade sweeping across the throats of the deer.

With a whoosh, the three deer heads fell to the ground, and the corpses slid a meter on the ground before hitting the wall and coming to a stop.

A flicker of panic crossed the lead deer's eyes. It let out a howl and led the remaining deer in a hasty retreat.

A yellow glow emanated from the deer, and the surrounding soil seemed to turn into water, successfully separating them. In the blink of an eye, the deer had vanished without a trace.

"Heh." Su Li smiled slightly, the Mountain Sweep slipped from her hand, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. "It's good that she ran away. If we continued fighting, I wouldn't be able to keep going."

Song Mingyu quickly stepped forward to support Su Li and helped her sit down against the wall.

"It's too cold... The elemental erosion within my body is constantly increasing." Su Li exhaled a breath and took out two fully charged insulation stones from her inventory. There were a total of 6 insulation stones; each person carried one, and the remaining two were with Su Li.

Su Li handed a heat-insulating stone to Song Mingyu, and the two of them activated the stones simultaneously. This, combined with the original one, gave each of them two heat-insulating stones to provide warmth. Then Song Mingyu took out a bottle of red plum fruit tea and drank it down in one gulp.

The effects of fruit tea have been refreshed once again.

The double heat-insulating stone worked very well. Su Li felt her body warm up, and the level of elemental erosion and the activity of elemental bacteria in her body dropped sharply. However, she was still wearing soaking wet clothes, which continued to lower her body temperature.

Just as Su Li was about to take out the manual and make a deal, the continuous aftershocks on the ground suddenly intensified.

This disaster will last for a long time. The surrounding mountains have already been riddled with holes by the icefish. Once one mountain collapses, the remaining mountains will collapse like dominoes. In addition, the mudslides formed by the snow on the mountaintops will continue for a long time. It is unknown when the disaster will subside.

The fracturing of the mountain range caused the underground water veins to change course. After the change, some landmasses will form cavities, unable to support the mountain range on the ground, resulting in new collapses.

Ivan's train was on a floating track and wasn't afraid of this at all, but Zuli and the others were underground.

The hole, reinforced by the wolf-deer-like structure, bounced up like a ball, and the pool of water that Su Li and the others had crawled into suddenly gushed out a large amount of water. Then they felt a familiar sense of weightlessness.

The reinforced cave collapsed into the water.

Thanks to the original complex tree roots and the reinforcement of the deer, this small space will not fall apart anytime soon.

It was a hardship for Su Li and the others; they were like clothes stuffed into a washing machine, rolling up and down as the water churned.

They didn't know how much time had passed, only that they felt pain all over their bodies from the impact, were dizzy, were being tossed around, and water was getting inside them from time to time.

After bumping heads several times in the space, the two finally found an opportunity to grab each other, with Song Mingyu locking Su Li in like an octopus.

Furthermore, in the midst of these continuous collisions, Su Li and his companions crushed the faintly glowing mushrooms growing on the tree roots. The mushrooms, once smashed, immediately released a large amount of spores.

The masks on Su Li and the others' faces had already developed holes during the violent collision, and these spores were inhaled into their bodies.

Su Li felt that everything in front of her was becoming more and more distorted, and all sorts of strange things appeared before her eyes, even the familiar Five Plus Three and Blue Ridge Secret Scrolls...

Amidst dizziness and lightheadedness, Su Li's consciousness gradually faded away.
