Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Zuli currently views this world as a material world, where the unique monsters are perfectly suited to be transformed into bait for magic spears and cradles of life.

After this exploration concluded and having gained a clear understanding of the world's situation, Su Li planned to spend money to lock it down.

However, this world also has significant hidden dangers. These monsters are too obviously designed; if one were to encounter a super-powerful mythical beast and end up losing more than it gains, that would be hilarious.

Su Li repeatedly warned herself that the most important thing when going out to explore was to be cautious.

The mutated octopus had already been broken down by Sophia and the others, resulting in a factor that caused it to grow enormous.

Sofia burst in with unusual energy, hugged Su Li, and nuzzled her neck against Su Li's.

"Alright, alright, why are you so excited?" Su Li ruffled Sophia's hair. "Was the spiritual energy you absorbed very useful?"

"This is incredibly useful!" Sophia exclaimed excitedly to Su Li, "This place is simply paradise! That behemoth was only at the Iron level, but the extracted, gigantic spiritual energy was of Silver quality, equivalent to the quantity of ten Silver-level monsters. We've made a killing!"

After Sophia said that, Su Li pinched her chin, thought for a moment, and then speculated, "Did you benefit from Sister Mingyu's influence?"

Sophia was also taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Mingyu's legendary status led to an increase in destiny power. This world is very suitable for extracting life factors from the Cradle of Life. I just hitched a ride with Mingyu."

"That's probably it. You've gotten some of Mingyu's soup." Su Li teased.

Actually, it wasn't just Sofia who benefited; Zurich and the others also benefited.

These monsters, which Su Li defines as Special Silver, possess Iron-level strength and Silver-level skills. The materials related to their skills are also Silver-level materials, which is beneficial for Su Li to practice her life skills.

There has been no harvest yet because after Song Mingyu extracted the life factors, the materials all became level-less waste.

"Alright, tell me, what did you use your gigantic spirituality for? A laser gun?" Su Li asked. A gigantic laser gun is pretty cool.

Sophia refuted this conjecture: "If the laser gun is enlarged further, the energy consumption will be too high. I created a function curve of the laser gun's output capability and magic energy consumption, and then adjusted the magic gun. Currently, it's at the optimal consumption level. The laser gun is designed for sustained damage and clearing mobs. For dealing with powerful enemies, a sniper rifle is better, as it has higher output and lower energy consumption."

"I applied the gigantification technique to the grenade launcher."

Su Li was taken aback. "Explain in detail?"

“Doesn’t my grenade launcher leave behind elemental artifacts after it explodes?” Sophia said, referring to her grenade launcher. “By incorporating the spirituality of gigantification into the grenade launcher, the range of elemental artifacts created by the launched grenades is even wider.”

Currently, grenade launchers are increasingly being positioned to deal area damage and create advantageous terrain to hinder the enemy.

"I plan to develop some autonomous runes, multiple elemental creations, linked together to form autonomous rune attack units."

"Okay, I feel like you're getting more and more versatile." Su Li was a little embarrassed. Sophia's approach was gradually moving from simple to complex. She had a feeling that Sophia would run out of energy later on.

On his side, he had moved from the original concept of unity of opposites to the concept of the sun and moon, becoming increasingly specialized in his approach. He had many ideas for the next development path, but hadn't decided yet; his main focus was still on improving the stability and power of solar and lunar eclipses.

These two moves are already considered super-powerful skills at this stage. Among the players of the same level he has seen, none have been able to withstand the high temperature of the solar eclipse.

The two chatted for a while about their insights on capabilities. Then they kept the train at a low speed as it sailed through the sea.

These high-value monsters can only be seen at night, so we need to get more of them.

The train continued its slow journey. Unfortunately, this area of ​​the sea seemed a bit too peaceful; after encountering the giant octopus, they encountered no other monsters.

Fortunately, there are many small islands along the route, and the biosphere around these islands transforms into monsters at night.

Zuli and his team arrived at a small island and began clearing it. Finally, at 4 a.m., they reached the designated medium-sized island.

“There weren’t any animals on the island before.” Su Li looked at the island. According to the map, the island looked a bit like a mango, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

"As usual, Lily and I will form a scout team and go to the middle of the island to see if there are any land-dwelling monsters. Ivan, protect them."

Ivan tapped his metal gloves against his breastplate, making a loud thud. "Leave it to me, brother-in-law."

Su Li and Sun Lili exchanged a glance and walked towards the interior of the island.

Under the purple moonlight, everything looked somewhat alluring and eerie.

Purple moonlight filtered through the tree canopy, dappling the coral sand. Zuli's boot crushed a piece of weathered coral. After walking across the golden beach made of broken coral, Zuli and his companions entered the dense forest.

"The humidity is so high! If the temperature were any higher, it would be a bit like the rainforest we visited before," Su Li remarked.

He and Sun Lili had ventured nearly two kilometers into the heart of the island, but the mutated creatures they had anticipated had still not appeared.

The good news is that we finally saw some land creatures, including snakes and some lizards.

Sun Lili reached out and grabbed a rather cute-looking lizard, carefully examining its body. "This little guy doesn't show any signs of mutation either. It's strange, why don't these land creatures mutate? Could it be that they haven't been in contact with seawater for a long time?"

"Is seawater the medium for mutation? Then we need to be careful too." Su Li sent this message to Song Mingyu.

Song Mingyu quickly replied, "Understood, I'll try to analyze it."

Sun Lili dropped the lizard in her hand, then clapped her hands, "Oh dear, I forgot to investigate how these creatures survived the sinking of the floating islands."

These floating islands will periodically go silent. Once a floating island sinks, how the land creatures will survive is a big problem; they can't just wait for the floating island to survive and then respawn.

“Didn’t you notice that all these land creatures are oviparous?” Su Li pointed around. “Snakes, lizards, and birds. There are no mammals at all.”

Sun Lili suddenly realized something, but then she noticed a blind spot and retorted, "The island sank to the bottom of the sea, how could these eggs withstand the water pressure! Hmph, I've caught you out!"

“Because there is this plant.” Su Li took out a bud-like plant from his waist, which he had just picked up from the ground.

"Huh? Why?" Sun Lili uttered a sound lacking in intelligence. Then, she suddenly realized, "I know, you've started studying monsters again, haven't you?"

Su Li sighed, "Monster studies only helps me gather information; identification and authentication are my own skills. Normally, there's not as much tension as in battle, and I don't need to instantly determine monster information, but that doesn't mean I can't authenticate them."

"Look at the structure of this flower bud. The outer surface is very hard, but the inside has a vesicle structure. I took a look and this thing is a magical plant. Its skills are all focused on pressure resistance and sealing."

"I just saw a snake lay its eggs in this. It's probably thanks to this fruit that terrestrial creatures have survived."

Sun Lili took the fruit from Su Li's hand, examined it, and was a little surprised. "Sigh, Su Li, this thing also has traces of heart-shaped covering! However, this covering is almost fixed."

Su Li nodded: "I guessed it. The traces of artificial design are too heavy. The tool-plant attributes are maxed out."
