Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Once the enemy is discovered, the next step is naturally to analyze them.

Zuli carefully observed the characteristics of these enemies through his binoculars.

These monsters resemble pangolins from Earth. Judging from their sheen, their scales are quite hard.

[It primarily feeds on hardened lava and the previously discovered black plants. The silver-level one can directly consume lava, possessing an iron stomach. Its attributes can be roughly determined to be fire and earth, with fire as its primary element.]

Su Li quickly recalled the various information from the beginner monster encyclopedia. Monsters that feed on lava and rocks usually possess extremely strong physical defenses. Their shells have a high metal content. Some shells can even be used as ore.

"Be careful, they may have the ability to spew out high-temperature lava," Su Li whispered a warning.

Then Zuli began to observe the details.

He discovered that these monsters had a habit of polishing each other's scales, and the polished scales emitted a sharp light.

Not very friendly to melee combat. Hmm? What are those things under the ribs?

Su Li focused her gaze on the ribs of the silver-level monster. There were several rows of indentations under its ribs.

[Some monsters in the monster encyclopedia also have similar structures... Take a closer look.]

Zuli put down his binoculars, ran more than 400 meters along the cliff in another direction, and then observed again.

This time, he was observing the monster's scales.

[The scales on his back, aside from the marks of polishing, are almost entirely undamaged, which is unusual. Given his anatomy, using the sharp scales on his back to defend against enemy attacks is the proper approach. It's impossible that the scales around him show signs of battle damage, while only his back remains undamaged.]

Based on the dents she had just seen, Su Li had a rough guess.

Su Li returned to her companions and shared her speculation, saying, "Be careful during the battle."

After giving their instructions, Su Li and the others began preparing to go down and fight the monsters.

This small group contains 52 Iron-level monsters and one Silver-level leader.

If they all rushed in, Su Li and her group wouldn't fare well. So the best way was to fly kites.

The group approached an area closer to the monsters. Sensing the unfamiliar presence, the monsters tensed up. Even the leader, who had been sleeping, stood up and looked around.

Su Li and the others didn't try to hide anything; they weren't good at concealing themselves anyway.

Sofia crouched down and set up her rifle. Although the rifle in her hand was still the same style as the one in the dream, it was now radiating a blue glow.

After three years of effort, Sophia has successfully transformed this gun into a magic weapon.

【Demon Gun - Dream】

[Iron Grade]

Feature 1: Each attack inflicts an additional 10% mental damage.

Feature Two: Fires a bullet within the dream realm. Upon hitting an enemy, it unleashes a burst of mental damage after 5 seconds, based on the accumulated mental damage during that period.

The damage is less than before, but it's more agile. As long as you can withstand the Spirit Gun's mental load, you can use Trait Two multiple times in a short period of time.

Moreover, this weapon has now become an upgradeable weapon. Sophia can extract the spirits of monsters by hunting dream and mind-attribute monsters to further strengthen this spirit gun.

Then, colorless light appeared around the periphery of Sophia's iris, and her Demon Eye was activated.

Sophia's eyesight was greatly enhanced, and her gaze was fixed on the gaps between the silver monster's scales.

"Gold generates water, double enchantment."

The bullet leaves the barrel. The first half glows blue, and the second half glows gold.

The moment Sophia pulled the trigger, the killing intent solidified, and the silver-level monster keenly sensed the impending danger, bursting forth and charging forward.

Sophia's magic bullet traveled nearly a kilometer, arcing blue, and struck the gap in the scales with almost no error.

The water power, enhanced by the power of metal, broke through the extremely resilient skin beneath the scales and suddenly erupted from beneath the skin.

The sudden burst of blood caused a spray of blood to erupt from the monster's back.

"That's really tough." Sophia clicked her tongue in amazement. If a Black Iron-level enemy had been hit by that attack, they would have lost a health bar.

The silver-level monster roared loudly at Su Li and the others, its voice so loud that Su Li could even see the air distorting.

Without a doubt, this roar can directly cause physical damage.

After roaring, the silver-level monster leaped into the water like a diver, its claws clasped together above its head.

All that remained on the ground was a pile of rubble and a black hole.

One of the Iron-rank monsters tried to jump into the cave to follow in its king's footsteps, but was slapped to the ground by another Iron-rank monster.

"Is this a challenge to a one-on-one?" Su Li's face lit up with joy. "So arrogant? Well, that makes sense. Silver-level, that's the overlord of this area, there's basically no more competition."

Silver-rank monsters are basically the top creatures in this world. As we all know, staying at the top for too long can easily make one arrogant and brainless.

This silver-level monster is like that. It has lost the caution it once had when it was struggling at the iron level. After being attacked, the safest way is naturally to dig a hole and have its minions follow up to beat it to death.

But he wouldn't. He only felt anger and wanted to fight one-on-one. He clearly understood that Silver-level beings already possessed intelligence, but he didn't want to use his brain.

Sigh, I have a brain, but I just don't use it.

It has a luxurious beauty.

Anyone with a brain knows that for a monster primarily focused on defense, if the opponent can break through its defenses, it means the opponent has a chance to kill it. Its strongest point has been broken, and it's still standing there calmly.

"There's a vibration underfoot," Ivan promptly warned.

The group jumped back to their original positions and kept a close eye on the tremors beneath their feet.

Su Li originally thought that this silver-level monster was going to launch a burrowing attack, but after Su Li and the others moved, the underground tremors did not follow at all.

This means that this silver-level monster had no intention of burrowing underground to launch a sneak attack.

"Too arrogant," Su Li commented again.

With a loud "boom," the ground was blasted open by the monster, and a monster that looked exactly like a pangolin emerged from the ground.

The monster slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

Its golden eyes shone with an eerie light amidst the smoke and dust.

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, the monster roared once more.

Its head was lowered, and the depressions between its ribs opened, revealing several holes through which a large amount of air was drawn in.

With a buzzing sound, it slowly turned its head clockwise, letting out a deafening roar.

A ball of flame suddenly shot out from the hole in his ribs, and the scales all over his body slowly glowed.

Su Li protected her ears with magic power, looking relaxed. "Hey, he even struck a pose."

With a "bang," a gold-enchanted bullet shot into the monster's ribs in an arc, entering a hole where the flames disappeared and black smoke began to billow out.

Sofia continued firing without expression. "I'm showing off my .50 BMG, what are you pretending for?"
