Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

This scene has a slight artistic element to it.

Sun Lili, who is 1.6 meters tall, stood in mid-air, holding the roots of a sea lily that were several meters thick in both hands. The sea lily's large corolla was upside down in the desert, spewing wind as it went.

The roots that should have been rooted in the desert are now at the top, and at the very top of the roots is a golden crab that is tens of meters long. The crab's claws hold the sea lily's roots, and its body hangs down. The sea lily's roots hang down as if it had a premonition.

The crab hanging down was at the same height as Sun Lili, and the two of them were really staring at each other.

Their eyes met, and both of them realized what was happening.

The crab stretched out its other claw toward Sun Lili. This claw was very peculiar, like a crab's claw with a cheerleader's pom-pom, which looked somewhat comical.

Sun Lili used all her strength again, swinging the sea lily's stem down to the ground like a stick.

Suddenly losing its support, the crab's crab punch hit empty air. Even so, the powerful crab punch still created a sonic boom next to Sun Lili.

With a loud bang, the crab was smashed into the desert. The surrounding sand shook violently, sliding layer by layer and forming stepped cracks. These cracks were then blown away by the sandstorm and disappeared without a trace.

But the crab is gone, though the flower ball on its hand remains.

The instant the crab was smashed down by Sun Lili, the flower ball seemed to come alive like a venomous snake, lunging at Sun Lili.

The flower head extends from the crab's claws, revealing its compressed, long stem. The flower cluster unfolds like a living thing, opening towards Sun Lili and revealing its dense, hollow fangs.

This ball of flowers is also made of sea lilies.

Sun Lili released her grip, her body flashed, and she disappeared from the spot. The next instant, the sea lily lunged forward, biting her head off into the desert, swallowing a mouthful of sand.

The filter at the back of the crinoid sprayed out a large amount of sand, forming several sand arrows. Imagine being hit by this crinoid; once those hollow, sharp teeth activate, it's like having several blood pumps inserted into your veins, draining your blood in just a few seconds.

With a crisp gunshot, a golden flash shot out from the crab's arm in the desert, sending large fragments flying into the air, which were not carried away by the gale in an instant.

It was Sophia who made the move. While the crab's arm was moving, she used the Metal Enchantment to hit the joint of the crab's claw, which was the crab's weak point.

However, the crab's defenses were unexpectedly strong. Sofia's bullet broke through the crab's outer layer of yellowish-brown shield, only creating a half-meter-sized opening at the joint.

[A symbiotic monster.] Su Li made her judgment. [This crab, belonging to the Heavy Warrior path, possesses extremely strong physical defenses. That layer of yellow light even has an anti-armor effect, indicating that it's a veteran who has studied this path for a long time.]

[While possessing astonishing defensive capabilities, it also boasts considerable melee combat ability. The heavily armored warrior possesses not only incredible physique but also formidable strength; its massive claw can practically be called a guillotine. The trade-off is severely limited agility and speed. Therefore, to compensate for this, it coexists with sea lilies.]

Sea lilies possess abilities such as whirlwind absorption and toxin injection, and excel at ranged attacks. However, they have almost no mobility.

The combination of these two elements creates a mobile, heavily armored fortress.

Moreover, these two sea lilies are at the peak of the Silver rank, and the giant crab is an even higher-ranking Gold rank monster. Together, they can practically roam freely here. Crabs are actually quite fast, but they lack agility.

If this creature were to destroy an oasis in the desert, it wouldn't be surprising. The small animals in the oasis would likely be swallowed whole by the crinoid in a single encounter.

Three more bullets were fired. This time, the large crab lying on the ground raised its claws and blocked the three bullets with three sharp cracks.

All three armor-piercing bullets broke through the outer defenses, but the damage they caused was limited.

Inside the claws, which had been punched through several holes, black crab meat was exposed. The meat, already dried up, didn't bleed. The crab brought its claws to its mouth, spitting out a glob of yellowish liquid that stuck to its claws as it began to repair its wounds.

These wounds were insignificant to him, but the psychological damage from the bullets posed a significant threat.

"Tsk." Sophia clicked her tongue.

The magic spear that emerged from her dream is a bit out of sync with her pace.

The dream weapon is, after all, only a Black Iron-level magic spear. Although its attributes are decent, it has inherent weaknesses. It's still effective against Silver-level monsters, but against Gold-level monsters that prioritize defense, its armor penetration is a bit lacking.

The solution is either to change the bullets.

Sofia touched the five bullets stuck in her belt and gave up on the idea.

The only option is to enhance the spirit spear.

However, suitable spiritual factors are hard to come by, and the related monsters raised in the small world are still multiplying, so it will take some time before they can be harvested.

Sofia blurred the gun in her hand and switched it to a grenade launcher. This time, she provided cover.

Just as Sophia was feeling a little melancholy, Song Mingyu came over and patted Sophia on the shoulder, "Don't worry, wait a moment, I'll give you a surprise in 17 days."

Upon hearing this, Sofia already understood.

On the main battlefield, the fighting continues.

With Ivan at the forefront, Zuli quickly approached the giant crab, his greatsword transforming into a sun-wheel sword, slicing a dazzling path of light through the darkness.

On top of the crab's head, Sun Lili had already launched her attack.

It's still the magical girl guillotine descending from the sky. Sun Lili has such a strong preference for this kind of move. Only such wide-ranging, violent, and bloodthirsty moves can unleash the wildness within her.

An invisible blade descended from the sky, and the crab's gold-level perception made it clear that this move was not easy to withstand.

The giant crab strained its eight legs, propelling its body upwards. Its body was too large to dodge the attack of the elusive little fly.

His choice was to actively shorten the distance between himself and the enemy. Since he couldn't dodge it, he would use insignificant parts of his body to block the attack.

A yellowish-brown shield of light emanated from the top of the giant crab's head. This shield had intricate patterns and dense lines, resembling a finely crafted work of art.

Ivan's eyes lit up immediately; he saw something different in the light shield.

A click

Sun Lili slashed ahead of time, and the spatial rift on the axe blade successfully cut through the outer yellow light shield. However, the light shield exploded the moment it was broken.

A strong repulsive force suddenly appeared on Sun Lili's body.

[Using gravity?] Sun Lili immediately emitted an attractive force, capturing the large crab below and canceling out the explosive repulsive force of the net.

The crab's light shield was a full 20 centimeters thick. As the axe blade enlarged the wound, the shattered light shield suddenly expanded, wedging the axe blade inside.

"Tsk, the same old trick. But can you handle it?"

Sun Lili stepped onto the space, and her inhuman brute force pressed down instantly, causing the shield of light to curve.
