Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Several ice blades were released, freezing the scorching lava into black stones. Su Li and Song Mingyu used the stones as footholds to land on the other side.

"This is really troublesome." Su Li looked back at the area she had just crossed.

It was a vast expanse of lava rivers, hundreds of meters wide, with countless streams spreading erratically like lightning in the sky, bathing the entire space in a crimson glow.

Above the lava, there are many stone pillars, from which flow crimson lava and blackish-yellow smoke.

It rises up to the top of the cave, hundreds of meters high, and then spreads out along the top.

The entire ceiling of the cave was filled with this smoke.

If so, this is one of the perfect candidates to represent the stereotypical image of hell.

The wind in the cave grew stronger, carrying the lava mist from the sky, which churned and rolled towards Zuli's front. This indicated that there must be a vent ahead, allowing the mist to escape.

Su Li looked around and, upon reaching the opposite side of the lava river, noticed a change in the terrain. Among the wind-eroded rock pillars, several giant crystals had sprung up from the ground. In the howling wind, these crystals shimmered, as if breathing.

"Be careful with these crystals, something looks off," Su Li warned Song Mingyu. "I'll go scout ahead first, you stay behind and cover for me."

Song Mingyu nodded, preparing to cast the spell.

Su Li walked forward for a while and came to be within a hundred meters of the crystal.

As soon as he entered this area, Su Li sensed something was wrong. His associative abilities seemed to have improved. The dim scene reminded him of the days he and Song Mingyu spent in the snowy world.

"Tsk," Su Li took two steps back, and the feeling lessened considerably.

"What's wrong?" Song Mingyu asked quickly when she saw Su Li's actions.

Su Li summarized her feelings: "The mental interference has become much stronger. Before, it felt like listening to light music, with little impact. Now it's like listening to a very epic background music, the intensity has increased dramatically. Noise-canceling headphones are useless. This sound wave contains magical energy, which can transmit the sound to the brain through the resonance between the sound wave and the body."

Song Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's rest first, and I'll make some props."

We don't know if the intensity will increase as we go further. But we can't stay still either, since the smoke is all drifting in that direction, which means there's an exit there.

"Okay, let's rest first."

Song Mingyu took out a tree seed from her personal inventory, walked to the side, poked a hole in the ground with the end of her staff, and then put the seed in.

"Fortunately, the land here contains relatively few curses."

Song Mingyu waved her staff, and beams of green light enveloped the seeds. Catalyzed, the seeds began to grow rapidly. Because of the cursed power here, the trees did not grow very quickly.

While Song Mingyu was casting a spell, Su Li opened the manual and began to contact her other companions.

Sun Lili—I'm with Sister Sophia. We encountered some disgusting cursed corpses, there were too many of them, and they're running away. We'll figure out a way to rejoin you after we get away.

Ivan—we also encountered monsters, but we've gotten rid of them under Coco's control. We're currently following Coco's divination, preparing to reunite with you guys, brother-in-law. Coco has already divined that our team is in the same cave.

Su Li thought for a moment and sent a message

Zurich—you can go with the wind.

After saying that, he sent over the discovery of the smoke.

Zurich – Go with the wind, and maybe we can meet at the vent.

At this moment, Su Li was extremely troubled, as none of them had any location tracking tools.

Su Li just asked the liaison officer Zhang Qiang for some communication tools, but they were of no use at all.

Purely mechanical props become useless beyond a kilometer due to the combined effects of strong magnetic fields and elemental fields.

Magic-based positioning items are limited to a few hundred meters due to the influence of elemental fields, making them less effective than mechanical items. Higher-level ones are unlikely to be available anytime soon.

Su Li silently wrote down the positioning method, preparing to improve it later.

Turning around, a simple treehouse appeared behind her. Song Mingyu happened to open the door and was waving at her.

Su Li quickly walked to the side of the treehouse and cast the divine spell "Pioneer's Safe Hut" on it.

[Divine Art: The Pioneer's Safe Hut]

[Requirements for use: A certain amount of magical energy, a follower of the God of Pioneers]

[When used on a dwelling, it can be enchanted to increase comfort. The hut also has a warning function, capable of alerting nearby hostile units.]

Based on Zuli's attributes, her perception range is 2 kilometers, which is sufficient.

Inside the treehouse, the decor is simple: a large double bed and a set of table and chairs. However, there's an extra hammock made of vines.

At this moment, Song Mingyu was sitting in a hammock, the mesh-like thin ropes shaping the plump fruit into raised diamond shapes.

Su Li swallowed hard. Could it be that Sister Song, who is usually so aloof, is also going to play the seduction game?
