Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Su Li quickly scanned the surrounding environment; the location of the Puppet Grass King was still about one kilometer away.

This kilometer stretch is not easy to traverse. The swamp is teeming with dangers—muddy ground, lurking swamp dogs (crocodiles), and all sorts of unknown creatures that could leap out of the water or mud at any moment to launch a deadly attack.

Song Mingyu needs to help control the parasitic seeds on Sophia and Song Mingyu, who are unable to move. They need Ivan, their guardian, for protection.

Although Sun Keke is slow and lacks mobility, her teddy bear can serve as a medium for casting spells, providing support from a distance. Therefore, Su Li decided to bring Sun Keke's teddy bear along so that she could assist from the rear.

In this way, only Su Li and Sun Lili are left to charge into battle.

A thought flashed through Su Li's mind—should he have Sun Lili use cluster artillery to take down the Puppet Grass King directly? But he quickly rejected the idea.

The amount of magical energy dissipation in this area is insufficient, so the power of the cluster beam cannon cannot be fully utilized.

We still have to rush in and kill.

It just so happens that both of them have relatively high resistance to parasitic seeds.

[Lily, grab Coco's bear, let's charge!]

【it is good! 】

[Ivan, summon Ember!]

【learn! 】

The magical energy around Ivan coalesced into a point of light, which then expanded to form a door. Ember Shadow stepped out of the door, feeling the high humidity around him. He snorted uncomfortably, his hooves pacing restlessly in the mud, splashing water. The flames burning on his hooves evaporated the water into steam in mid-air, making a hissing sound as it evaporated.

"Jinying, let's team up this time!" Su Li took a step to Jinying's side, stepped onto Jinying's stirrups, and mounted Jinying.

Embershadow glanced at Ivan with displeasure. This silver-level monster companion possessed an independent personality. As a free spirit, it actually disliked being ridden on someone's back.

"Please, Ember Shadow, I'll groom you properly from now on," Ivan said with a smile.

"Hiss~" Ember Shadow snorted again. The black ash he spewed out transformed into the number 3 and a carrot in the air.

This means I'm going to have three delicious meals.

“No problem.” Su Li patted Ember Shadow’s neck. Ember Shadow currently only recognizes Ivan as a partner, so Su Li naturally has to pay a “price” to ride it.

"Come here, Lily!" Su Li reached out his hand to Sun Lili, who took his hand, lightly leaped onto the horse, and sat behind him.

"Are you ready?" Su Li asked, turning her head.

Sun Lili's voice came from behind: "Anytime!"

Ember Shadow stomped down hard.

"Let's go!" Su Li spurred his horse, and Ember Shadow let out a neigh, bursting out of the energy shield erected by Ivan like a flame.

The flames on the horse's hooves burned fiercely, baking the mud beneath Ember Shadow's feet into hard blocks before he even stepped onto the ground, thus preventing him from sinking into the mud.

"Impressive! But there's no need for that, Lily?"

"give it to me!"

Sun Lili pointed her staff at the ground, and ripples appeared on the water's surface.

As Jin Ying stepped onto the platform, it was as if he were stepping into space itself, and he surged across the water's surface.

Su Li wrapped her arms around Jin Ying's neck. "Jin Ying, don't attack the main body yet. Let me do the attack."

Su Li had already noticed that there was no timber in this area, but the system showed that there was a large amount of black iron-grade timber.

So those pieces of wood must be the body of the Puppet Grass King. Once burned by Ember Shadow's skill, their trip was for nothing.

"Hiss!" Ember Shadow responded to Su Li's request, its flames subsiding and becoming more restrained, reducing its offensive capabilities and increasing its defensive capabilities.

"it is good!"

Su Li gave a thumbs-up, her gaze fixed on the puppet grass king ahead.

The Puppet Grass King seemed to sense their approach. The water in the swamp suddenly surged, and then, from beneath Ember's feet, a huge leaf emerged from beneath the water and attacked Ember and his companions.

Without Su Li needing to say anything, Jin Ying lightly jumped and calmly dodged the attack. Having spent years running on lava, it was most adept at dealing with attacks that emerged from the bottom of the water.

Jin Ying was extremely fast. In just a few words, Su Li and the others had covered a distance of 1 kilometer and were less than 500 meters away from the Puppet Grass King.

The attack failed, and the Puppet Grass King raised the two leaves again.

The moment it raised its leaves, Zuli stared intently at those two leaves.

Two gunshots rang out in succession. In the distance, Sofia raised her Dream and fired a bullet at the two leaves.

The bullet, enhanced by magical energy, was even faster than the Ember Shadow, reaching three times the speed of sound, and instantly struck the two raised blades.

Guided by the Demon Eye, the bullet struck the point of contact between the two leaves and the Puppet Grass's body. This was the leaf's most vulnerable spot. The wood-to-fire magic withered it, blasting a large hole in it.

However, the bullet wasn't powerful enough, and the two blades still fired, disappearing in an instant.

[Marked! Quantity incorrect, 4 appear!] Sun Lili keenly sensed the spatial fluctuations that preceded the enemy's attack and used her mind to alert Su Li to the direction.

At the same time, the ground suddenly shook violently, and dozens of leaves shot out from the swamp, rushing towards them like giant snakes.

Four unusual leaves suddenly appeared in the sky and took pictures of Su Li and the others.

The Moon Wheel Sword in Su Li's hand was activated to its maximum potential, and Jin Ying was suddenly startled and stood up.

In an instant, the Moon Wheel Sword slashed 20 times in the air, each one hitting the same spot on the leaves in mid-air with pinpoint accuracy.

The Moon Wheel Sword is characterized by its speed, range, and freezing ability. After these slashes hit the leaves, the freezing energy contained within instantly froze the leaf stalks, and then the sword energy severed the leaf stalks.

Four leaves flew out instantly, splashing a large amount of liquid around Zuli.

On the other side, Jin Ying also stomped his horse's hooves heavily.

A large amount of fire-attribute magical energy was poured into the ground, melting the earth beneath their feet before it exploded.

Countless lava flows shot out in all directions like shrapnel, riddling the surrounding leaves with holes.

But it wasn't over yet; the surrounding water suddenly dropped several centimeters. Meanwhile, to Zurich's left, the water level suddenly rose.

Something's coming!

A gaping maw suddenly burst through the swamp, carrying a large amount of foul-smelling bones and rotten mud, and lunged at Su Li and the others.

It turned out to be a giant crocodile.

However, the crocodile's eyes were already cloudy and its body was covered with numerous fine hairs, indicating that it had long been turned into a puppet by the Puppet Grass King.

Sun Lili braced herself on Su Li's shoulder with one hand, used the momentum to leap forward, and charged directly towards the gaping maw.

Zuli activated his monster science, instantly gathering a wealth of information from the crocodile.

This was actually the remains of a Silver-level demon. However, because it had been dead for a long time, its internal organs had rotted, and its strength had dropped to the Iron-level.

Even among the Black Iron level, they are formidable enemies, but Sun Lili is more than capable of dealing with these monsters.
