Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

By the light of the torch, Su Li saw the approaching spear-tailed scorpion.

There were a total of 6 attackers, 3 of which had something resembling a sea anemone attached to their pincers.

"Mistrock Sunflower, a magical plant, generates mist that has a calming effect. Wear a mask and be careful of the dense mist they exhale," Su Li said simply. What good luck to see a magical plant mentioned in the encyclopedia.

After Su Li finished speaking, she carefully observed the condition of the spear-tailed scorpions. The three spear-tailed scorpions that were holding onto the misty rock sunflower had darker patterns on their bodies and their pulsation speed was slower.

"The last three may have consumed some magic energy, so let's deal with the first three first."

Upon further examination, the unknown skill in Su Li's manual flashed once more.

"learn!"

Ivan stepped forward and ran towards the Spear-tailed Scorpion. He held a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right, and fired several shots at the scorpion.

The light-attribute bullets were perfectly blocked by the Guntail Scorpion's rock-attached pincers. When the Guntail Scorpion charged, its body was completely concealed by its pincers; even its usually erect tail was lowered, making its movement completely invisible.

Ivan's shooting skills weren't very good; he fired a few more shots, but they were nimbly blocked by the Scorpion with its guntail.

Sofia seized the opportunity and fired a bullet that struck the tail.

The spear-tailed scorpion actually slightly turned the spear on its tail, using the harder spearhead to block the bullet.

This combat ability is completely different from the crippled Black Iron-level monsters of the past.

Su Li narrowed her eyes, somewhat amazed by the Guntail Scorpion's combat abilities.

The Guntail Scorpion's abilities lean towards those of a heavily armored warrior. It possesses the ability to launch sneak attacks using its tail, but its frontal combat capabilities are also formidable. Its greatest strength lies in using its pincers for defense, followed by burrowing underground with its tail to launch surprise attacks.

Just as Su Li was thinking this, she saw the spear-tailed scorpion slightly raise its legs and tilt its head up a little.

“Tail burrows into the ground!” Su Li immediately recognized the spear-tailed scorpion’s movements.

Ivan immediately unleashed a magical stomp on the ground.

A cloud of dust rose from the ground, centered on Ivan. Then, the bodies of the three spear-tailed scorpions twitched.

Su Li took a step forward and delivered a powerful kick to one of the spear-tailed scorpions.

The spear-tailed scorpion's defense was timely; its pincers glowed with a yellow light, making the rocks above it seem as if they had merged into one.

But it was no use. Su Li's powerful kick struck the joint of the spear-tailed scorpion's pincers, and the burst of magic energy directly dispersed the magic energy contained within. The magic energy inside the spear-tailed scorpion vibrated, and its pincers separated instantly, opening up an opening in front of it.

It's the interrupt effect of a powerful kick.

Su Li thrust the crystal sword in her hand upwards, directly into the mouth of the spear-tailed scorpion, piercing its brain, and then quickly retreated.

Sofia fired three shots in quick succession, shattering the mist sprayed by the Misty Rock Sunflower behind her.

The scorpion with its brain shattered struggled on the ground for a while before dying.

Su Li retreated, dodging the spear that thrust out from the ground, and then continued forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the spear-tailed scorpions, in coordination with Ivan's magical energy shock and Sophia's constant harassment.

A few minutes later, all six mountain scorpions were dead. Su Li breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his crystal sword to check the damage.

Zurich's crystal sword is forged entirely from crystal. It is extremely sharp and quite hard, but lacks resilience. Combined with the acid corrosion from the fight with Danny, the sword has a crack and numerous nicks on the blade.

"It's time to change my weapons." Su Li opened the manual and began collecting materials from these monsters.

[Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Crystal Core*2, Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Spear Tail*3, Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Rock Skin Armor*6, Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Large Claw*2, Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Meat*12]

Crystal cores, spear tails, and large claws are even rarer materials; not all of them can be obtained as drops.

The Misty Rock Sunflowers were all put away. Su Li didn't know how to collect materials from this plant. He recognized it because this plant had a symbiotic relationship with many kinds of Old Six Monsters, so he had seen it in the encyclopedia.

In the wild, it's not the monsters that attack head-on that are scary, but the sneak attacks from the Sixth Brother monsters. That's why Su Li knows these Sixth Brother monsters by heart.

Su Li calculated that she needed 11 crystal cores, 10 spear tails, but enough large claws.

"We're still short on material, so let's keep waiting and see if we can get a few more."

Su Li and his team waited there until 8 p.m., dealing with a total of four waves of guntail scorpions.

It seems these guntail scorpions all came from the same direction. They all started from the factory and moved towards the city center, and each squad was accompanied by Kiriwa Aoi.

Su Li felt that something was about to happen.

At least they managed to gather all the materials. Su Li and the others returned to the train and finished preparing their equipment.

【Scorpion Claw Shield - Mountain (Black Iron Grade)】

[A shield crafted using the pincers of a spear-tailed scorpion. It possesses excellent defensive capabilities and magic resistance.]

[Defense Deployment: Scorpion Claw Shield is normally a square shield. When slammed into the ground, it absorbs earth elements to form a giant shield. The user cannot move while using this skill.]

The accompanying skill is quite good; once deployed, it can provide protection for teammates using a tower shield.

Meanwhile, Su Li also obtained his first named weapon.

【Mountain Collapse (Black Iron)】

[It draws upon the power of the earth, causing a mountain to collapse]

[Earthquake: Each attack inflicts shock damage on enemies and splashes to other enemies within a one-meter radius.]

[Mountain Collapse: A ferocious strike like a collapsing mountain, inflicting armor penetration on enemies below Silver rank, with a chance to stun them, and accompanied by an enhanced earth tremor. Cooldown: 4 hours]

Su Li took out the named weapon and felt a sudden weight in his hand, sensing that it weighed at least 100 jin (50 catties). Although Su Li's strength had increased after advancing to the Black Iron level, wielding this weapon with ease was still challenging.

This weapon is not meant for non-superhumans.

The sword is 1.8 meters long, the same height as Zuli, and 10 centimeters wide, about the length of a mobile phone. It doesn't reach the size of a large sword like the door panel swords in anime.

The sword is silver-white, the color of the spear tail of the Spear-Tail Scorpion. It's covered in earth-yellow patterns, giving it a heavy, imposing feel. The blade isn't sharp; try using a two-handed sword that relies on intimidation.

Su Li felt that with each swing, an unusual vibration was released from the sword, and Su Li could choose whether or not to release this vibration.

Zuli chopped down on a rock, easily cutting a section in half, and then a shockwave ripped the cut open. The ground around the rock also trembled violently.

Su Li wanted to try Mountain Slide, but unfortunately, this move not only consumed the magic energy stored in the weapon, but also Su Li's own magic energy. Su Li sensed that one move would consume two-thirds of his magic energy, and since he had already used up a lot of magic energy, he decided to hold off for now.

"It's okay, I'll use it when I have the chance." Su Li happily put the weapon away and returned to the train.

As soon as they entered the train, Ivan said, "Brother-in-law, something bad has happened! The fog outside has completely disappeared. And four pillars of light have appeared around the city."

Su Li's heart skipped a beat. This change meant that a "major event" was about to happen in the Misty City World.
