Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

As the group stepped off the train, Ivan casually placed a shield around everyone's neck. Raindrops pattered against their light shields, creating a soft "pitter-patter" sound, and the air was filled with the damp scent of earth.

After stepping off the train, Zu Li found that the outside environment had changed drastically—the river, which had been somewhat dry, had swelled up again, the current was rapid, and the surface of the water was rippling with countless waves as the raindrops hit it.

The small floating island where they had cut down trees that afternoon had been submerged again. If the swarm of golden velvet bees hadn't been taken away by Zuli, they would probably be busy plugging the leak right now.

Not far away, specks of blue-green light were slowly drifting towards them.

Not only in the distance, but also in the rivers around Zuli and his companions, these wondrous lights appeared.

Su Li and the others watched warily as the points of light slowly approached, and the river around them gradually began to glow.

Finally, the actual point of light appeared.

A large number of fluorescent jellyfish flew out of the river.

Each of them was the size of a person, their bodies rising lightly into the air, emitting a soft blue-green light, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

These jellyfish danced gracefully in the air, their tentacles swaying in the wind, like a dreamlike light and shadow performance.

"Wow! What a wonderful thing!" Sun Lili exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling. Ignoring the rain, she climbed onto the roof of the car, sat there, and looked up at the jellyfish flying in the air.

Zuli sensed no hostility, indicating that the jellyfish were safe for the time being.

There were simply too many of them. Jellyfish as tall as a person, each one of them was of the Black Iron level, and some were even giant jellyfish exceeding 5 meters in length, radiating Silver-level magical energy. A quick glance revealed about a dozen Silver-level jellyfish monsters; the sheer number was beyond anyone's imagination.

Su Li also saw other monsters gathered there, watching the jellyfish. Like Su Li and the others, none of the monsters dared to make a move.

These guys are definitely not to be trifled with.

Realizing that these guys could easily wipe him out, Su Li abandoned his hostile strategy.

Since they couldn't beat them in a fight and the other party wasn't hostile, why provoke them? Su Li didn't even use her appraisal skill on them, for fear of angering them.

Instead, let's appreciate this scene from the televised version.

The sound, like a whistling grass flute, rang out again. This time, Su Li realized that the sound was coming from a silver-level jellyfish.

As the sound of the grass whistle spread, the shimmering light on the numerous jellyfish began to shift, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. The surrounding environment also seemed to faintly radiate a green glow.

The aura of the Silver-ranked creature startled Ember Shadow. Disliking rain, it ran out and wanted to drag Ivan away, but seeing so many Silver-ranked creatures, it could only let go of Ivan's sleeve, snort, jump onto the train, and lie down.

Zuli and the others climbed onto the top of the train and sat on the wet roof, quietly enjoying this natural feast.

Su Li, Song Mingyu, Sophia, and Sun Lili sat together.

Song Mingyu's gaze followed the fluorescent jellyfish, her expression thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" Su Li couldn't help but ask.

"I have a bad feeling," Song Mingyu said in a low voice. "I sense that the wood-attribute fields that permeate this world are changing. These jellyfish are interacting with the fields."

Su Li nodded, her gaze still fixed on the jellyfish. "I don't feel anything. You are more sensitive to changes in nature. I hope you can do more research."

"My job."

Su Li smiled slightly, pulled Song Mingyu's head, and let her lean on her shoulder. "But you can also study it while enjoying this rare and beautiful scenery."

Song Ming brushed a strand of hair aside, a faint smile on his face. "Okay, I will."

Song Mingyu remained silent, staring intently at the jellyfish in the sky. Su Li then turned her gaze to Sophia.

To his right, Sofia sat on the edge of the roof, her arms wrapped around her knees, gazing dreamily at the jellyfish. A dazed smile graced her face, as if she were lost in her own world.

It was rare to see such an expression on Sofia's face. Su Li was momentarily lost in thought.

“I remembered a dance performance I saw when I was a child,” Sofia said, bringing up a story from her childhood. “I was very young then, and my parents took me to see a dance performance.”

“I don’t remember much about what we performed back then because I was too young, but that kind of shock, something beyond dance, has stayed in my heart. That’s why I went to learn dance.”

"Now, these jellyfish are bringing back that feeling once again."

Zuli looked up at the sky, where a large number of jellyfish obscured the sky, and the dreamlike glow under the dark clouds seemed to replace the Milky Way.

It was a spectacular, dreamlike feeling.

"I feel like dancing," Sophia said, burying her head in Su Li's arms. "Let me think about it. I'll choreograph a dance for you tonight."

"Is it not possible now?" Su Li asked with a smile.

“Ivan is still here.” Sophia nudged Zuli’s chin with her head.

“Ivan isn’t young anymore. Look at his height of 190cm. Why do you still treat him like a child?” After saying that, Su Li pointed to Ivan, who was with Sun Keke, leaning against Jin Ying. Ivan pointed to the sky and whispered something to Sun Keke.

"Huh? What's wrong with Ivan?" Sun Lili, who had been busy drawing and writing, looked up blankly, saw Sun Keke and Ivan, and then grinned mischievously at Sophia: "Oh ho ho~"

Sophia rolled her eyes at Sun Lili, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"What do you care? They were 16 when they last explored."

Sun Lili was halfway through her sentence when she noticed Su Li hugging both sides, and she immediately got annoyed. "Oh, you guys are so quick! I wasn't paying attention for a second, and you blocked both sides."

After saying that, Sun Lili jumped up at Su Li and exclaimed, "Then the middle part is mine!"

"Ouch!" Su Li's leg bone throbbed with pain from the blow. "Be careful!"

“What are you afraid of, you’re just a soldier? I didn’t even use any force.” Sun Lili opened her notebook nonchalantly and then unfolded it for Su Li. “Take a look at the new outfit I just designed.”

Su Li glanced at Sun Lili's design drawings and saw that they did indeed have some jellyfish elements, as well as elements of mermaids.

"Your legs are completely covered by clothes, how can you even move them?" Su Li couldn't help but complain.

"Let me tell you, this is a water combat stance, so moving around won't be a problem. And, and, see this? This is the real essence! The side opening here, and the hidden zipper here... you can... ahhh, I don't want to think about it anymore, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Lord Punishment Bird, please spare me!"

Su Li couldn't help but laugh as she watched the punishing bird peck out phantoms.
