Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Just as Su Li began to consider what good way to control and enslave these monsters, Song Mingyu, who had just returned to the train to study the lake, hurriedly stepped out of the train.

Seeing Song Mingyu's anxious expression, Su Li quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Bad news." Song Mingyu's words made Su Li frown.

"You said."

Song Mingyu glanced at the lake in the center of the oasis and said, "Our idea of ​​storing lake water is probably going to fall through."

This bad news made Su Li's heart sink.

Song Mingyu took out a jar of water she had just collected. "The special energy inside this jar of water that was just collected is dissipating rapidly. Without interference, it is expected to turn into ordinary seawater completely in 10 minutes."

"If we use the means at our disposal to intervene, we can maintain this for 6 hours."

Su Li covered her forehead speechlessly, "What can you do in six hours?"

In other words, their plan to store a large amount of water at once and drink it all along the way is thwarted. To continue exploring this world, they will need to constantly travel between oases to replenish their water supply, just like they did at lower levels.

This troublesome world even made Zuli consider giving up.

However, this idea was just a fleeting thought. If you give up when you encounter a difficult world, then don't explore it anymore. Once your energy level is high enough, there won't be any easy worlds left.

You can give up, but you should only do so when there is absolutely no other way.

"Let's drink some water first to remove the curse from us, and then we can figure out how to preserve this water."

Song Mingyu was not optimistic about this idea: "The energy in this water is very complex. I don't think we can figure it out in a short time."

"Ah~"

Su Li sighed, "Why don't you and Sophia try it together? Sophia is more proficient in energy matters. Then we'll explore the underground of this oasis. After we're done, we'll take care of all the monsters here."

Su Li explained to her teammates her idea of ​​finding laborers and the problem of not having a way to control the situation at the moment.

Song Mingyu offered an answer that Su Li had overlooked: "We can use the World Flower to control these monsters."

"The world's flower?" Su Li was taken aback.

"That's right, the World Flower. The World Flower has a strong affinity with monsters. If you communicate with them through the World Flower and provide them with a safe place to live and enough food, they will obediently follow your orders."

After all, monsters without intelligence, living in a doomsday world where every day is uncertain, are hard to resist the temptation of free food and lodging.

"Good idea, Mingyu, you should communicate with them."

Su Li assigned this task to Song Mingyu, who, as a nature-based spellcaster, was well-suited to communicating with monsters.

Song Mingyu nodded and accepted the task.

At this moment, Sofia returned, carrying a basket with some fruit inside.

"Look at these." Sophia placed the fruit in front of Zuli.

Su Li glanced at the fruits. There were three kinds of fruits: one was picked from a cactus and looked like a dragon fruit, bright red and very beautiful; another looked like a date; and the third looked like a coconut.

Zuli examined the effects of the fruits.

【Red Sand Fruit】

[Iron Grade]

[After consumption, it alleviates the state of being eroded by fire elements.]

【Rock jujube】

[Iron Grade]

[After consumption, it alleviates the erosion caused by soil elements.]

【Sea Breeze and Coconut】

Silver Level

[After consumption, it has a mild effect of purifying the curse.]

Su Li was immediately delighted, "They're all useful."

Ivan glanced at the attributes as well and said with some curiosity, "These attributes are exactly what we can use."

“This is perfect.” Sophia wanted to tap her brother on the head, but seeing his big size, she patted his back instead. “Without the right abilities, it’s hard to survive here.”

The elemental fields that permeate the entire world treat plants and animals alike equally. Therefore, living plants possess certain resistances. Those without resistance become piles of yellow sand, or restless, cursed remains that cannot find peace elsewhere.

Zuli was more concerned about the coconut; in Zuli's little world, there were substitutes for the other two.

There was only one coconut in the basket.

"Does this coconut work against the curse?" Su Li asked.

Sophia shook her head. "I don't know. Theoretically, it should work, but we only have one coconut right now, so we can't do the experiment."

Zurich looked around the oasis and found only four coconut trees.

"The monsters here also eat these coconuts. I've searched all over and this is the only coconut I've found."

"Let's save this for now and check it out at the next oasis."

Sophia carefully stored the fruit, and then Song Mingyu found her and began to study ways to preserve the lake water.

Just then, the small animals around suddenly began to move, heading towards the cave beside the lake.

Su Li waved her hand, "Let's go and take a look too."

The cave was an underground chamber, about 3 meters high. After Su Li and the others went inside, they waited until a camel next to the cave bellowed, creating an earthen wall that blocked the entrance.

Upon entering the cave, Su Li could feel the air carrying a hint of moisture.

Inside the cave was a tunnel. Su Li tapped the wall with her knuckles; it was hard and there were no carvings on it. It was probably a tunnel created by magic.

There was a faint smell of wild animals inside the cave, but it wasn't strong. Following the path worn by the animals, the tunnel grew larger, and the air became increasingly humid.

Su Li calculated the distance in her mind. They had walked about 2000 meters. The slope here was quite steep. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to walk here, but the people here were superhumans and monsters, so they walked with ease.

Vertically, after descending approximately 300 meters, the view finally changed.

What appeared before Zuli was a huge underground space.

The underground space is about 10 meters high, and the size of the interior is unknown because there are many holes in the walls.

Inside the cave, about 100 monsters lived, some sitting, others chewing on something. They appeared peaceful and serene.

On the walls of the cave, there were many lichen-like plants. On these plants grew structures that looked like dandelions. These dandelions emitted a warm light, cooling the entire cave.

At the center of the cave is a massive pillar. This pillar is over 50 meters in diameter, a mixture of pure white salt crystals and transparent crystalline material.

Through the transparent crystal, Zurich could see that the inside of the pillar was filled with water.

Meanwhile, some water, perhaps due to condensation or seepage, flowed onto the crystal and eventually dripped onto the ground, forming a small pool.

Some monster cubs were frolicking and playing in the cave, occasionally taking a sip of water from the pool or biting a piece of moss on the wall.

"I never imagined that there would be a paradise hidden beneath this oasis."
