Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Zuli quickly ran to the unstable wall, where Ivan, holding a shield, stood beside him.

Su Li didn't say anything, but Ivan already understood Su Li's thoughts and came over with his shield to protect her.

On the other side, Sofia also took out an arrow that she had modified. A clay object was attached to this arrow.

Sofia aimed the arrow at the direction away from Zuli and fired it outwards.

Because the object on it was quite heavy, the arrow didn't travel very far, but it made a piercing sound after it was released.

It's a whistling arrow!

The whistling arrow attracted the attention of the blind snakes. Some of them ignored the faint footsteps and instead attacked the direction of the whistling arrow with wind projectiles. Some attacked Zuli, some attacked the starting point of the whistling arrow, and some attacked the whistling arrow itself.

This is why we didn't use whistling arrows to attract their attention at the beginning, because whistling arrows would make a sound when they were fired, and there was a chance that they would be attacked.

Su Li charged up the fortress with his hammer, only to be met with several green wind projectiles. Su Li neither dodged nor evaded, but slowed his pace slightly. Ivan stepped forward and used his shield to block all the wind projectiles.

The shield can only protect a limited area. The reliable minor was hit once, staggered, and almost fell, but thankfully he held on.

Then Ivan faced right, and Zurich faced left. Ivan deliberately tapped his shield to draw the attack.

Then Su Li peered down and saw that many stones below had been smashed open. In the middle of one stone, a long snake's head was stuck.

The wind wasn't strong enough, and with a 2-meter-thick layer of boulders, the crystal serpent was successfully trapped.

Su Li checked the distance; the snake was stuck one meter below the top of the wall. The reason it was in this location was because the ropes they used to hang the bells were all system-generated, and system-generated ropes are by default one meter long.

"Knowledge is power!" Su Li thought to herself, "This is no exaggeration."

Su Li raised the hammer, aimed it at the snake, held it high, then squatted down and smashed it down.

Magic Slash!

A glow appeared on the hammer, amplifying the power of the strike. The so-called Magic Energy Slash is actually a basic striking technique: extracting magic energy to enhance the next attack.

Su Li has been practicing for 7 days, and the magical energy in her body is only enough for this one attack.

After the impact, Su Li felt pain in her arm. The movement was very difficult and had injured some muscles.

However, the effect was remarkable. With one hammer blow, Su Li felt the sensation of smashing something brittle, a sensation that was indescribable.

Looking at the snake again, sure enough, after being hit, its upper body could still move, but its lower body was paralyzed, with the hit area as the pivot point.

This broke the spine.

Once it's broken off, the snake is no longer a threat.

"Go down!" Su Li shouted to Ivan, then jumped directly into the fortress. It was only a 3-meter-high wall; with his physical abilities, jumping down was no problem.

Ivan obediently lowered his shield from the fortress, then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Su Li. Su Li looked at the shield; the leather on the iron-clad wooden shield was torn in several places, and the rest of the shield was pitted and covered with circular marks.

When I lifted up my clothes again, my arm, which had been hit earlier, was covered in bruises.

"It's alright, they can't break through this 2-meter-thick wall. Once their magic runs out, it'll be our turn!"

Su Li said casually. These are just black iron-level magical beasts. Even if they have stored magic power in the crystals on their heads, they will eventually run out.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the sound of the wind bomb hitting the rocks disappeared.

The three men went up with iron hammers and found that the juvenile crystal serpents had already swum over, seemingly wanting to engage in close combat.

But when it comes to close combat, who's afraid of you bunch of non-venomous blind snakes?

Zuli and Ivan stood on the wall, cracking open the snakes one by one like they were playing whack-a-mole.

Sofia, on the other hand, was staring at the elderly individual in the distance, who was gathering his strength.

After killing the last juvenile snake, the older individual also completed its charge. The three of them took cover inside the fortress beforehand. Then, another loud boom echoed. One of the fortress walls collapsed.

Su Li and his two companions, carrying hammers, ran outside and proceeded to gang up on the disoriented elderly man.

With a final, crisp sound, the head crystal shattered, and the elderly individual was successfully eliminated.

"Wuhu!" Su Li cheered.

"Take off!" Ivan, who had been corrupted by Su Li, shouted along. Then the two of them burst into laughter. Even Sophia watched them with a smile.

[Congratulations to players Zuli, Sofia Blavatsky, and Ivan Blavatsky for annihilating the beast horde!]

[Based on the size of the beast tide, you have received beast tide rewards]

You have obtained 300 Survival Coins, 2 Blueprint Selection Boxes, and 3 Item Selection Boxes.

"Here you go! You can have the skinning knives. Gather your supplies first, I'll open a box and come help you right away!"

Sophia and Ivan went to gather supplies together. In addition to collecting resources to deal with the approaching beast tide, they also needed to collect stones from the ground.

Stone is also one of the materials in high demand.

Su Li first opened the drawing selection box.

Please choose one of the following 5 drawings.

"Only five this time?" Su Li clicked her tongue. The last box had many options, but most of them were just useless furniture.

[Basic Magic Stove Blueprint: A magic-powered stove, an essential tool for making secret dishes]

[Crystal Feather Serpent Skin Armor Blueprint: Crafting the Crystal Feather Serpent Skin Armor]

Down jacket patterns

[Blueprint for a Poison Bottle]

[Blueprint for the Pig-Tooth Spear]

There aren't many good choices. The blueprint for the Basic Magic Furnace is a must. Su Li has seen this equipment in the shop; it's essential for making special dishes and secret foods. These secret foods can accelerate cultivation and increase attributes, so building this Magic Furnace is definitely necessary. There's another blueprint box left, which Su Li glanced at and found to be exactly the same as this option.

Su Li preferred the Crystal Feather Serpent Armor blueprint, but he needed to consider one issue.

This is the lair of the Storm Crystal Feather Serpent. He can be certain that there is a silver-level treasure chest here, but he doesn't know where it is.

This place is very valuable, and Su Li has decided to come back next week to completely excavate this nest. Since that's the case, he needs to consider the issue of duplicate blueprints.

"There's a chance to get the blueprint for this leather armor from a silver treasure chest, and there's also a chance to get it by killing 100 Crystal Feather Serpents. What if I get a duplicate? Wouldn't that be a waste? Let's put it aside for now, since we can't craft it anyway."

This Crystal Feather Serpent Armor undoubtedly utilizes materials from the Crystal Feather Serpent, which is an extraordinary material.

When it comes to crafting equipment with extraordinary materials, more powerful crafting tools are needed. Su Li remembered that there were some at the transfer station, but he forgot exactly what materials were required.

After putting the gift pack back into her backpack, Su Li opened the prop bag.

[Item Selection Box: You can choose one item from the following options]

There are so many options, but after looking at them for a while, Su Li felt that only a few were useful.

【背包增容道具（5格）】【水元素碎片*6】【生存币*300】【xx训练手册】【物资运输机】【蒸汽采矿机】【老式步枪+20子弹】【小型皮革背包（10格）】

When Su Li saw this, she knew that her good days of exchanging leather backpacks for supplies at high prices were over.

Those who truly need a backpack will likely choose to redeem it directly.

I won't go into detail about backpack expansion and survival coins.

The "XX Training Manual" is similar to the "Introduction to Swordsmanship" that Su Li has been reading. However, while the introduction to swordsmanship is a sword manual, the training manual teaches you how to get started in a profession and involves basic training for extraordinary abilities.

This item is quite valuable. Zu Li saw a swordsman training manual in a bookstore; it costs 400 survival coins. Choosing this one is more profitable.

The supply transport aircraft wasn't available for sale in the stores. According to the information, it could facilitate the transfer of supplies within a 10-kilometer radius. Su Li was quite envious of it. However, it had a drawback: it consumed magic crystals.

At this stage, magic crystals are still a relatively scarce resource, and Su Li is reluctant to use them.

Next is the steam mining machine, which, according to the description, can mine coal automatically by burning coal and requires a pickaxe to be installed. That's also a pretty good device.

Finally, there's the old-fashioned rifle. Honestly, this is what Zuli wants most; Sofia knows how to use a rifle. With this, their firepower will be much stronger.

Moreover, firearms are very threatening to humans even without firing a shot.

However, if you choose this option, you'll face the problem of ammunition resupply.

After thinking it over for a long time, Su Li decided to exchange for the steam mining machine first.
