Train Survival: Can I get a treasure chest by touching my goddess?

No sooner had the words been spoken than someone in the crowd spoke up.

What is the typical strength of these behemoths?

Xu Jiucheng glanced at the man and said in a calm tone, "There are many black iron soldiers, but the main combat force is bronze."

Their defining characteristic can be summed up in one word.

Big.

Black iron warriors start at three meters in shoulder height, while bronze warriors range from five to twenty meters.

The scene erupted in commotion.

Twenty meters.

It's seven or eight stories high.

Even if everyone present was at the Bronze level, they would still feel intimidated by a monster of this size.

After all, many are considered to be of average Bronze level. What are they dealing with when they are in Iron?

At most, they'd be monsters like the cave spiders from before, but the black iron behemoths here are several meters tall.

Even if it's three meters tall, ordinary bronze might not be able to solve the problem quickly.

Not to mention, if you encounter one that's twenty meters long, that would be outrageous.

Someone muttered under their breath, "Isn't this just making things difficult for them...?"

"Exactly, who could withstand a 20-meter-tall behemoth taking a single stomp?"

Xu Jiucheng ignored these discussions, slammed his hand on the table, and the muffled sound made the map jump.

"Regardless of the difficulty, this is an imperial mission. Failure to complete it will result in court-martial."

The hall fell silent.

Xu Jiucheng took out a roll of yellowed animal hide from his pocket and spread it out on the table.

"This is a map. Write it all down."

He tapped several spots on the map with his finger: "There is a whale beast in every giant beast granary."

That thing wasn't very offensive and was difficult to move, but it had a special crystal core in its brain used to store the food the giant beast needed.

You must retrieve the crystal core.

"As for the cubs' nests—" he paused, "the cubs of giant beasts need to eat a special food called 'beast food' to grow rapidly."

This thing is born from a special type of plant that devours various resources. Bringing back the mother plant will complete your mission.

He straightened up and glanced at everyone.

"Alright. The side gate of the city wall will open in half an hour; you can go out from there."

After saying that, he turned and strode towards the back hall, the clanging sound of armor plates colliding gradually fading into the distance.

The hall erupted in chaos.

"Twenty meters... how are we supposed to shoot from there?"

"We're bronze, not superheroes."

"The key difference is the size; they can easily turn us into meat patties with a flick of their tails."

soon.

These people realized that they would probably need to team up to stand on the platform this time, if they really encountered a horde of beasts.

It's going to be very difficult to withstand.

Even a Bronze-level being could die if they encountered a group of Iron-level beings.

Think about it.

A group of giant beasts over three meters tall are charging towards you; you'll only be crushed into a meat patty. Moreover, Xu Jiucheng even said that these giant beasts have special abilities.

Su Qingxuan stood in front of the map, her eyes quickly scanning the markings on it.

"The granary is here, the nesting grounds are here." She pointed, "In two directions, not close together."

Shen Wen walked over and glanced at the map.

"Let's go to the granary first. The crystal cores are easy to get; we can just grab them and leave."

Su Mu stood beside him, holding a shield in her hand. She didn't speak, but she nodded.

Huo Mengjiao squeezed through the crowd, followed by the people from Baita.

"Hey boss, wanna go together? It'll be good to have someone to look after you."

Shen Wen looked at her and shook his head: "No need."

The person next to Huo Mengjiao spoke up.

"Sister Jiao, there's no need for that. He's just a Bronze player, and his teammates are even Iron players."

With me here, I guarantee you'll get first place this time. The boss sent me here to help you get through the Bronze level as quickly as possible.

The speaker was a tall, strong man dressed in light dark silver armor, with two short axes hanging at his waist, their blades gleaming with a ghostly light.

He crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at Shen Wen with obvious disdain.

Huo Mengjiao frowned slightly.

This guy, Han Wu, was sent by her brother. He used a special tool to fill one of her remaining passenger seats.

His strength is considered top-notch even among bronze-level players.

But she thought of the imposing aura Shen Wen displayed after he was promoted to the next level.

That chilling, oppressive feeling, like being watched by an ancient ferocious beast.

She always felt that Shen Wen was not as simple as he seemed.

"Alright then," Huo Mengjiao interrupted him, "I've disturbed you."

She nodded to Shen Wen, then turned and led the people from the White Tower to the other side.

Han Wu followed behind, took a couple of steps and then looked back at Shen Wen, snorted and muttered under his breath, "Sister Jiao is just too cautious."

Shen Wen didn't think much of the man's hostility.

This guy doesn't seem to have the pure malice of Wu Chong; it's probably because of Huo Mengjiao's enthusiasm towards him.

It's a male's instinct to feel uncomfortable when he sees his alpha being polite to others.

He didn't take it to heart.

In the crowd, three girls huddled together, heads close together, whispering to each other.

"So that's Shen Wen?"

The speaker was a round-faced girl with wide eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "Sister Lin, aren't you close to Shen Wen? Why don't we go and beg him for favors?"

Cao Lin gave a wry smile.

She was exquisitely beautiful, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a dark jacket, and a short sword at her waist.

"We've only done business together, we're not that familiar with each other."

The four people on the train at the beginning were all college roommates and had a very good relationship.

She has a natural talent for creating water out of nothing, and she lived a fairly comfortable life at the first three stations by selling water in exchange for resources.

But the difficulty increased dramatically when the fourth group stood on the platform.

A horde of Black Iron-level plague infected surged in like a tidal wave. They fought desperately, but still lost a friend.

Later, when the platform was trying to fill the gaps in the membership, they ended up putting them into a black iron train.

But the Iron-level train conductor died directly at the upgrade platform, and Cao Lin became the train conductor again, with only three members remaining.

"Our mission is simply to kill a bronze behemoth." Cao Lin withdrew her gaze, trying to keep her tone relaxed. "At least for now, we are all of the Sequence rank and have the ability to fight."

The round-faced girl wanted to say something more, but another girl with pigtails next to her tugged at her sleeve and shook her head.

"Fine." The round-faced girl pouted and didn't say anything more.

Cao Lin thought to herself, "This is what I'm thinking."

How could she not want to curry favor with someone powerful?

Having passed through these stations, she understood all too well the importance of survival.

But I could tell who Shen Wen was from the regional channel before.

Unresponsive to both oil and salt, soft and hard approaches.

Were all those who wanted to cooperate with him but didn't see the White Pagoda rejected?

How could he possibly bring three of them along to complete a mission?

Half an hour has passed.

It wasn't Xu Jiucheng who came; it was just a lowly soldier.

Wearing tattered leather armor, with his helmet askew and a spear in his hand, he led a group of people through the military camp to the side of the city wall.

A small door.

Iron bars were nailed to the door, and withered weeds grew in the cracks of the stone frame. Several deep gullies ran across the sandy ground in front of the door, as if something had dragged it across.

The soldier took out his key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it several times before finally opening it. He pulled the door open slowly, as if he was hesitating about something.

"My lords, the war zone begins just outside here. Remember, do not venture too far in; if you encounter a horde of beasts, retreat immediately."

Shen Wen stood at the front of the line, his hand resting on the hilt of the butcher's knife.

The door opened.

A cold wind blew in.

Shen Wen was the first to step out of the small door.

The boots made a dull thud as they stepped on the soft, sandy ground.

He raised his head.

In the distance lies a vast wilderness.

The gray-brown land stretched to the horizon, barren of any vegetation.

The ground was riddled with potholes and ravines, as if it had been trampled and rolled over by countless giant beasts.

The air was thick with a strong, fishy smell, mixed with dust, making one's throat tighten.

There was a rustling sound behind me.

The spiders were emerging from the doorway one after another, spreading out on the ground in a fan shape, their eight legs leaving fine imprints on the sandy soil.

A silvery-white spider crawled past Shen Wen's feet, its eight eyes scanning the surroundings, its mouthparts opening and closing, emitting a soft hissing sound.

The soldier stood inside the door, leaned halfway out, and whispered, "I hope all of you gentlemen have returned safely."

Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

The soldier's expression changed drastically.

"It's the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros! They've attacked again!"

His voice changed, and he shrank back, "My lords, please come back quickly!"

The Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros is a Black Iron-level behemoth; its hide is so thick you can't handle it! Their leader is even a Bronze-level beast.

The vibrations were getting closer.

The ground began to tremble, and sand and soil leaked down from the cracks.

A gray-black figure appeared on the distant horizon.

Very big.

It was bigger than Shen Wen had imagined.

The leading behemoth was at least five or six meters tall at the shoulder and at least ten meters long from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail.

Its entire body is covered in gray-black armor, like a moving armored vehicle.

Its head is triangular, with a thick horn standing upright above its nose, the tip of which gleams with a metallic sheen.

With each step, the ground trembled.

A cloud of dust rose up behind them.

The soldier had already retreated back inside the door, peeking out half his head, his face as white as paper.

"My lord! Come back quickly! This horde of Earth-Shaking Rhinoceroses will crush even Bronze-level enemies into mincemeat when they charge!"

Huo Mengjiao looked at Han Wu, who shook his head and said, "It's best to avoid charging into battle as much as possible."

"This has the destructive power of at least two hundred physiques."

Although he's only at the bronze level, he's not stupid.

The bronze-level behemoth that charged forward was significantly more lethal.

Huo Mengjiao and the crowd that was about to step out the door began to back away, which highlighted Shen Wen and his group of five who were still standing in place.

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow. Finally, there was a Bronze-level opponent. His sequence mission was to kill Bronze-level opponents.

"I'll take care of the big one, you guys take care of the small ones!"

"good!"

next moment.

Those behind him saw Shen Wen suddenly charge forward at incredible speed, as if he intended to clash head-on with the group of earth-shaking rhinoceroses.

Its speed is like a phantom to many, with a constitution of nearly 450 points, plus the 20% bonus from [Beast God's Blessing].

And when Lydia got out of the car, her talent was activated.

[Gabriel's Speed: Increases speed by 30% and grants immunity to one fatal attack from a Bronze-level ability!]

At this speed, even Han Wu only saw a phantom before Shen Wen, who was originally thousands of meters away, had already arrived in front of the charging Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros.

"Bang--!"

To everyone's astonishment, the charging earth-shaking rhinoceros seemed to have crashed directly into an indestructible stone mountain.

Not only was it abruptly stopped, but it was also directly blasted away, crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

"boom--!"

Sand and dust flew everywhere.

Shen Wen retracted his fist; this punch had been powered by over two thousand points of his physique.

Can you handle it?!
