Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Zurich walked out of a cave.

He turned off the lights around him, because they were no longer needed.

Song Mingyu stepped out from behind him and her eyes narrowed when she saw the expression on the face inside the cave.

This is a huge bowl-shaped cave, and the bottom of the cave is covered with crystals that emit a blue-purple glow. The distribution of these crystals is random yet has a certain regularity, and in the center of the cave, there is a huge circular crystal.

Song Mingyu sensed that the mental interference had become much stronger here. She needed to be distracted to suppress it.

"This should be the core of this underground cave," Su Li said, frowning as she looked around. "That central sphere must have something special about it."

"However, this place gives me a somewhat eerie feeling."

Su Li pinched her chin and thought for a moment, "It feels like I've encountered the living dead. It feels like this place is alive, but it also feels like I'm facing a corpse."

Recently, they've been developing the life and death powers of the sun and moon. Therefore, Zuli has a strong connection to this aspect.

Song Mingyu pointed to the ceiling with her finger, "Look up there."

Su Li looked up at the ceiling. The ceiling wasn't solid rock; instead, it had a slightly greasy appearance. "Like rotting skin..."

“We’re probably inside the corpse of a huge individual,” Song Mingyu said, offering her guess.

If that's the case, this creature must be enormous. If it were the old Zuli, she would have been very surprised, but after witnessing a corpse forming a world, this situation is really child's play.

Su Li looked up at the sky, where all the smoke had gathered into the huge basin and was overflowing through a crack in the center of the basin.

"Looks like this is the center. Let's explore it first. If everything's alright, let's use this as a temporary base to find the train and reunite with our teammates."

"Just make your decision."

The two were skilled and daring. After conducting a simple exploration and confirming that there were no monsters at their landing spot, they jumped down from the tunnel.

As Zuli walked through the enormous crystal, he became more vigilant.

But after walking for several kilometers, they really didn't encounter anything, as if this place was an underground crystal theme park, without any threat whatsoever.

Zuli is a veteran player; the more dangerous the situation, the higher the danger level of this place.

A strange mental interference, a large number of crystals rich in magical energy, and a peculiar circular crystal center—you say there's no danger here?

It's like you just finished a check-up at the hospital and the doctor said you're fine, but a little while later the actors who played Captain America and Iron Man come to see you in their costumes, carrying a PS5.

I'm sweating all over, okay?

Sure enough, just as Su Li and the other person were about to approach the center, the ground under their feet felt a bit like an asphalt lake, and suddenly it began to ripple like ocean waves.

The enormous crystal sphere in the distance trembled, and the air was filled with the clanging and tinkling sounds of crystals colliding.

The greatsword in Su Li's hand burst into flames, and her body seemed fixed to the ground, rising and falling with the 'waves' without the slightest panic.

After the sphere trembled, it slowly stretched towards the sky, then bent towards Su Li and the others, pointing the very tip of the sphere at Su Li.

The crystal on it trembled, the tightly sealed crystal burst open, and spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly, with pieces of crystal falling off.

A crack appeared on this crystal, which was a kilometer in diameter, and slowly opened up and down.

Su Li was surprised... well, not really surprised, to discover that the sphere was actually an eyeball.

The pupil of this eye was unlike that of a human eye; it was actually split in an X shape. Pressed against this eye, Su Li felt an immense mental pressure and a curse descend upon her.

Through the mental link between the two, Song Mingyu activated the joint mental defense that had already been constructed. A light green light pattern appeared around the outer edge of Su Li's pupils, and a light green flame emanated from her body. The power of curse and the power of healing were ignited and transformed into resources to replenish the magic energy of the two.

The moment her opponent made a move, Su Li launched a counterattack.

A sword aura, poised to be unleashed, shot into the sky, hurtling towards the eyes.

Her eyes channeled magical energy, and her mental pressure created a telekinetic effect, attempting to destroy Su Li's attack. However, Su Li's magical energy was more concentrated, and even though it was blocked by the power of the Gold level, it broke through the barrier. Her eyelids contracted instantly, protecting her eyes, and the fiery sword energy struck her eyelids, leaving a charred mark.

The ground shook violently once again, this time turning from small ripples into towering waves.

The slightly sticky ground was instantly torn apart, and the pale white body of the monster broke free from the ground.

Su Li protected Song Mingyu as they leaped and landed on a distant crystal, gazing at the monster emerging from the ground, her monster science rapidly processing the information.

[This is actually some kind of carrion worm?]
