Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

The aboriginal across from her, breathing heavily, was slapped twice by Su Li without a word.

A group of drunkards were all pinned to the ground by Su Li and the others.

Sun Lili went straight up and used a set of mind manipulation techniques to extract information.

Tell me about the situation here.

“Yes…” the one-eyed dragon said blankly, “This is Dawn City in the Dawn Territory, one of the holy cities of the Pure Light Sect.”

Su Li recalled the spectacular scene she had just witnessed, that miraculous scene, which indeed had the atmosphere of a holy city.

"But this land has been sealed off since the ice storm. People outside can come in, but people inside can't get out."

“We also tried to save ourselves. At first, there were some passing travelers. We wanted them to pass on messages to the outside world. But unfortunately, there was a monster outside that would kill anyone who tried to leave.”

“There are some small farms around the city, but their output is mainly to provide fruit and fresh food for the nobles. It is not enough to support the people of a city.”

"Just when the food in the city was running out, a miracle occurred."

"White honey flowed from the lord's castle, and the city turned into candy. We no longer lack food."

"The lord says this is a miracle bestowed by the gods. But miracles come at a price. Every so often, the gods' messengers come to the city to select strong men and bring them to the castle."

"The lord said that those who were taken away have returned to the Lord's embrace. As proof of their piety, the Lord gave them sweet sugar."

Su Li understood, "You lured us in here to keep us within the city's boundaries, preventing us from leaving, thus increasing the number of offerings."

"Yes," the one-eyed man answered honestly.

Sun Lili then inquired about other information regarding the city.

It turns out that Dawn City is a religious city. The lord is also one of the three bishops under the Pope of this country. The religious atmosphere is very strong.

At the same time, the spectacular scenery that can often be seen in the city makes it a favorite vacation destination for various nobles in the country.

After learning about the city, Su Li inquired about the monster.

"monster?"

"The only monster I know of is the pumpkin carriage monster that prevents people from leaving this place. They hunt travelers who approach the city but leave instead of entering. They are very rare, and I haven't seen one in a long time."

Sun Lili hypnotized the remaining people and obtained unexpected information.

A lame old man said:

“I have a friend in the castle, Barbadel, who is in charge of purchasing for the castle. Six months ago, when he was drunk, he said that the monsters that caused all of this were sealed inside the castle.”

“Monsters?” Su Li frowned. “Did he provide any information about those monsters?”

The old man nodded. "Barbadell said that those monsters were very beautiful and had golden halos around them."

"A golden halo?"

Sophia said, "If it's not an enemy like an angel with its own halo, then the golden halo is most likely a natural phenomenon caused by the unique energy of the Gold level radiating outwards."

"If it continues like this, it's either because of a lack of self-control or because it's deliberate."

The aura of gold can be controlled at will.

"Prepare for the worst: there are two Gold-level enemies inside the castle, and another Gold-level enemy wandering outside."

Zurich had to become cautious.

Even the oddball-level Gold-tier monsters like the Pig Brothers aren't easy to deal with. Why? Consider the Pig Brothers' grass armor, wooden shield, stone hammer, and the werewolf villager's wind-blowing ability. These fairytale monsters seem to have some kind of mechanic involved. Encountering monsters with mechanics is the easiest way to lose, so caution is essential.

[Gold-level monsters are everywhere...tsk, could it be because there are no silver or iron-level monsters in this world, so all the energy has been added to the gold-level monsters?]

These villagers had not reached the extraordinary level; they were just ordinary people, some of whom possessed a few special abilities, just like Su Li, who hadn't reached the Black Iron level but still had a few skills.

Su Li had heard of such a world before. A world without low-level combat power, entirely composed of high-level forces. Such a world is often the result of some external force forcing its development.

Ivan also returned from the border and said to Su Li, "Brother-in-law, we can't get out. There's a layer of energy blocking us."

"Can it be broken?" Su Li asked.

Ivan nodded. "I analyzed this barrier. It contains psychological suggestion and energy blockage. It's not difficult to break through."

"Now that we have a safe way out, let's go in and check the situation. Don't resort to violence yet. The lord here is a high-ranking bishop, and he probably knows something. It would be a huge loss if we were killed by some unknown area-of-effect attack."
