The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

Finally, the beings inside could no longer endure it.

A scarecrow, its body billowing black smoke, burst out of it, screaming.

Scarecrows are immune to most physical attacks, but they have two weaknesses: they are afraid of fire and they hate water.

Therefore, they always keep themselves completely dry.

This also makes them extremely flammable. At this moment, their will to survive makes them ignore all of this. As long as they can come into contact with the cold air outside, even if the door is blocked by Su Yuan, who could have easily killed them just now, they can no longer endure it.

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, stuffed the remaining half of the bread into his mouth, and gripped the fire axe tightly in his right hand.

"They're here."

He moved.

Facing the oncoming fireman, Su Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, but lowered his body slightly, drawing a sharp arc from bottom to top with the fire axe in his hand.

A holy white flame flashed and disappeared on the axe blade.

"Pfft!"

Without any hindrance, the fire axe precisely severed the scarecrow's legs.

The scarecrow, having lost its support, collapsed to the ground, and the purifying flames spread wildly along its wounds, completely engulfing it.

[Note: You have obtained a small amount of soul energy by slaying a vengeful spirit, which has boosted your attributes and increased your perception by 0.1!]

The familiar notification sound rang out.

Su Yuan didn't even glance at the ashes on the ground, continuing to look inside, playing the game of waiting for the prey to come to him.

Because of its superior physique and the talent of evolution, it can continuously adapt to high temperatures, but these scarecrows cannot endure it for long.

Su Yuan even planned to try tempering himself with a small flame in the future, but he still couldn't get over the mental hurdle for the time being, because being poisoned by snake venom and being burned by fire are two different things.

Sure enough, the death of the first scarecrow seemed to have flipped a switch.

Inside the granary, the monsters, pushed to their limits by the high temperatures and thick smoke, went completely mad.

"Aaaaaah!"

With a piercing scream, the second and third scarecrows rushed out of the door one after another.

They were covered in sparks, their tattered clothes were charred black, and they looked utterly wretched.

But Su Yuan showed no pity whatsoever.

These things can no longer be considered life; they are aggregates twisted by resentment and evil forces, products of Old Mike's insane thoughts.

As the scarecrows were killed, the number of scarecrows inside gradually decreased.

Su Yuan discovered that the granary was very spacious, but apart from the huge grain storage tower in the middle, it was almost empty.

At the same time, something strange happened. At this moment, heavy thumping sounds kept coming from inside the tower that should have been full of food, as if some huge thing was trapped inside and was frantically trying to get out.

Those scarecrows that hadn't yet rushed out stopped running away after hearing the commotion.

Instead, they anxiously circled around the grain storage tower, making "ya ya" sounds. Su Yuan quickly understood the meaning of this feeling.

They seem to be talking to themselves, expressing their grievances to the beings inside.

"Huh? What's locked up in there?"

"It seems I guessed right. It must be their parent. Otherwise, these scarecrows would have scattered and fled on instinct, instead of running here."

Although we don't know exactly what's inside, if we follow the monster level classification in the game, these scarecrows can only be considered as minor monsters in a dungeon, while the one locked inside should be the boss.

Realizing this, Su Yuan felt a sense of vigilance.

Could it be... the Scarecrow King? If it is the Scarecrow King, then it should be the later Old Mike!

Su Yuan's mind raced, but his hands never stopped moving.

Ultimately, instinct prevailed over everything, and even the beings inside were powerless to stop the temperature from rising.

Another fearless scarecrow rushed out and, without thinking, swung his axe at it.

"Pfft!"

A human head—no, a blade of grass—fell to the ground.

The flames of purification rose up.

[Notification: You have slain a vengeful spirit... Perception +0.1!]

The flames outside grew stronger and stronger, billowing thick smoke, and the walls were on the verge of collapse.

Su Yuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. His body adapted to these extreme environments very quickly, whether it was high temperature or extreme cold, but there was one place that adapted more slowly than the other parts.

Eye!

Su Yuan had already discovered this situation beforehand.

The last time I burned seaweed with heavy oil, my eyes were the first thing that couldn't take it.

However, once Su Yuan's perception reaches a certain level, he can know the exact location of the enemy in front of him even with his eyes closed, so this impact is not significant.

Time passed by, second by second.

The number of scarecrows rushing out is decreasing, and they are becoming increasingly frenzied.

The fire axe in Su Yuan's hand was almost dyed pure white by the purifying flames, and each swing brought up a holy flame.

His perception also successfully broke through the 103 mark.

Finally, with another swing of Su Yuan's axe, the last scarecrow that rushed out the door was burned to ashes, and the entire entrance to the granary fell into a brief silence.

Inside, only two or three hesitant dark figures remained, along with the increasingly loud and rapid "thump thump thump" of impacts.

The fear of fire is something ingrained in the scarecrow's very bones.

Finally, another scarecrow couldn't take it anymore.

It let out a piercing scream and charged toward the door without regard for anything else.

Su Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he delivered a precise straight punch, slamming it hard into its chest.

The purifying power attached to the fist erupted instantly.

"Bang!"

The scarecrow exploded into a fireball in mid-air as if hit by a speeding truck, turning into ashes before it even hit the ground.

[Notification: You have slain a vengeful spirit... Perception +0.1!]

This clean and decisive blow completely shattered the psychological defenses of the remaining two scarecrows.

They screamed and rushed toward the door like madmen.

Su Yuan remained expressionless, wielding his axe with both hands to cleanly and efficiently finish them off.

[Notification: You have slain a vengeful spirit... Perception +0.1!]

[Notification: You have slain a vengeful spirit... Perception +0.1!]

At this point, apart from the grain storage tower that was still making a thumping sound, only one scarecrow remained in the entire granary.

Su Yuan noticed that this scarecrow stayed hidden in the shadow of the grain storage tower the whole time, and did not charge wildly like its other companions.

It simply stood there quietly, seemingly out of place amidst the surrounding chaos.

Since all the scarecrows had the same photo on their faces, Su Yuan didn't pay much attention to it.

But now he noticed the photo on this scarecrow's face, and it was different; the smile on its face was the brightest of all the scarecrows!

"Could it be Tommy?"

Boom—!

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out!

The massive grain storage tower could no longer withstand the impact of the violent internal forces and exploded from the middle!

Countless twisted pieces of metal and parts flew in all directions, creating a powerful blast of air.

Su Yuan was also forced back half a step by the sudden shockwave.

He steadied himself and immediately turned his gaze to the center of the ruins.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a massive and twisted figure slowly rose from the shattered grain storage tower.
