Surviving on the train, my home became a hotbed of beauties!

The four of them stepped off the train, and the world seemed to fall silent.

Silence, deathly silence.

Chen Jing looked around.

A hazy mist enveloped the entire forest, and within the mist, one could vaguely make out ferocious and terrifying figures—these were the crooked, rough-barked, grayish-white trees.

With each step, a chilling atmosphere permeated the forest.

Chen Jing left a mark on the ground to prevent them from getting lost before the group continued their journey.

"It's so cold!"

Luo Baili shivered.

The temperature here is colder than in other places.

Frost clung to the tree bark.

After walking for a while, Chen Jing suddenly stopped.

He noticed that the surrounding scenery seemed to have changed!

"What's wrong, conductor?"

Li Qiya followed closely behind Chen Jing.

Seeing that Chen Jing was not leaving, he asked curiously.

"We think we're lost."

Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat.

This thing is really bizarre.

As if he had thought of something, Chen Jing's eyes turned to these strange trees.

These trees look like they're moving!

Suddenly, Chen Jing felt a chill down his spine.

Turning my head, I saw a huge tree demon had appeared behind me without me noticing.

"Get out of the way!"

Chen Jing pushed the three women away instantly.

He then suddenly dodged the tree demon that pounced on him from behind.

Looking around at the gradually moving shadows of the trees with lingering fear, a shiver ran through me.

These monsters can actually blend into their environment and attack!

[Creature: Ghost Tree Fairy]

[Level: 4]

[Skills: Stealth, Branch Slap, Mimicry.]

[Introduction: The king of the Ghost Tree Spirits, adept at concealing themselves and hunting undetected. Beware, they are social creatures.]

"You deal with the other tree spirits, I'll handle this one."

Chen Jingqian's umbrella transformed into a long spear.

A cold glint appeared, and it slashed out instantly.

Several branches as thick as an arm instantly sprouted from the black tree spirit and lashed down like whips.

It transformed into a sharp wooden cone and fell.

Clang!

The wooden awl and the spear clashed, emitting sparks from the clash of metal.

It's really hard!

Chen Jing hurriedly retreated, skillfully dodging several branches that were about to pierce him.

The spear in his hand transformed into a two-handed greatsword.

The blade faintly gleamed with a chilling red light.

Crimson Blade Slash!

A flash of red light appeared, and like a whirlwind, it chopped off half of the black tree spirit's body.

However, as a plant, this black tree spirit is indeed very resilient.

It was cut in half, yet it was still alive.

Chen Jing showed no mercy, gripping the sword hilt tightly with both hands and slashing down at the black tree spirit that was now only half its original size.

Click!

A sound of something shattering followed.

The tree demon was severed, and a gray crystal core fell at Chen Jing's feet.

[Item: Seed of Red Tempering]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Upgrades the train or equips it with forging items]

[Description: Random item dropped by the Ghost Tree Spirit. Survivor, you're in luck.]

In addition to the Red Seed, there is also a unit of Crimson Essence.

Chen Jing needs fifty Crimson Essences to upgrade the train, which means he needs to kill a full fifty Ghost Tree Monsters.

The drop rate of the Red-Clad Seed is completely random.

At this moment, Li Qiya's side couldn't possibly kill all the ordinary tree demons! Everyone gathered around Chen Jingdao.

"Conductor, it looks like something else is coming!"

Li Qiya looked to the side and saw several figures suddenly darting out from the swinging sword.

Roar--

"It's a pack of wolves!"

After Chen Jing finished speaking, he turned to the three women and said, "Follow the marks I left behind and get back to the train!"

Given the current situation, we must return to the train.

Otherwise, once all the Black Tree Spirits surround them, even a level five cultivator would be exhausted and die under their combined attack.

boom! boom! boom!

Luo Baili, wielding two pistols, continuously killed the charging wolves.

Li Qiya's expression changed instantly, and her burly body forcefully carved a path through the crowd.

Chen Jing covered the rear.

Damn it, wait till I drive my car over and run you all over!

As more and more monsters gathered, Chen Jing cursed under his breath.

Once they left the Ghost Tree Forest, the Ghost Tree Spirits stopped attacking. Only the wolf pack had already pounced on them, but they were subsequently destroyed by the cannons on the train.

Back on the train.

Li Qiya lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"I'm so tired, I almost died in there."

That was really dangerous.

If Chen Jing hadn't left a mark on the road...

They're bound to die in the forest.

"Let's take a break and continue exploring tomorrow."

Chen Jing originally wanted to explore the map, but seeing how dangerous it was...

So he changed his mind and prepared to explore step by step.

Clear out all the monsters on the outside before going inside to explore.

Since we'll get lost anyway, let's cut down all the trees.

Dusk was fast approaching.

The crimson mist began to stir.

Roar--

A roar was heard.

Before Chen Jing and the others could rest for a while, a large number of wild beasts emerged from the crimson mist.

[The first wave of beast attacks has begun!]

The first wave of beasts lasted for two hours!

Chen Jing glanced at the pack of wild beasts and instantly felt the malice emanating from the world.

The average level of the beasts is level three!

The Beast Leader was also at level five, just like him.

Damn, we're being targeted!

Chen Jing cursed under his breath, then a fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

Who cares what kind of targeting they are?

You are all my perfect experiences!

Holding a spear, Chen Jing turned to the group behind him and said, "If you feel you can't win, retreat back into the train, especially Liya, who can heal us at the train door."

"Yes, conductor."

Liya knew her purpose and naturally wouldn't cause any trouble.

"You two take care of any monsters I missed while cleaning up Liya's area. If you find any elite monsters, head back to the train and I'll handle them."

The main purpose of the three women is to share some of the pressure and protect Liya, who can heal him whenever needed.

After making the arrangements, Chen Jing directly faced the beast tide with his two-handed sword.

Some of the wild beasts were killed by the train's turrets before they got close, and most of the beasts that rushed in front of Chen Jing were level 5 or higher leader-level beasts.

Swish!

Before engaging in battle, Chen Jing first killed several ordinary wild beasts, stacking nine layers of the One-Word Combo Slash. With a single sword strike, he instantly cleaved a level five lord in two.

A nine-layered combo, terrifying indeed.

Even if a level six monster stood in front of him, Chen Jing would have a fighting chance.

Of course, it's still a bit of a stretch to easily defeat a level 6 boss.

A level six tiger king pounced on it instantly.

Chen Jing was attacked from both sides and could only repel the wolf king in front of him, but he was still a step too slow and was slapped on the back by a tiger's claw.

Bang!

A muffled groan escaped, but no wound was inflicted.

Chen Jing's deep red armor emitted bursts of red light, repelling the Tiger King.

There wasn't even a trace of the injury on his back.

This is the benefit of a full package.

However, the force of a tiger king was so great that Chen Jing felt a dull pain in his chest.

With the continuous stacking of the One-Word Combo skill, Chen Jing's physique has been greatly depleted, dropping below 20 points.

Seeing this, Liya quickly gave Chen Jing a sip of milk.

"Healing and blessings!"

Chen Jing felt a warming sensation in his body, then took out a Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill and swallowed it directly.

With Liya's help, Chen Jing's physical condition recovered to around 80 points. After taking a Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, he recovered another 20 points, and Chen Jing had recovered half of his combat strength.

With a swift stroke of his sword, he cleaved the level-six Tiger King in two.
