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

Currently reading: Chapter 106: Giant Beasts and Air Force?, latest chapters available here.

Behind him, Su Mu was still dealing with the dark red armored bull.

The warhammer struck the carapace, the hammerhead bounced off, leaving only a faint white mark.

She parried the armored bull's charge time and time again with her shield, but her arm was already aching, and her shield was covered with claw marks and dents from the impact.

Su Qingxuan's Blood Bride has almost exhausted that Bronze-level Armored Bull.

Each time the Blood Bride attacked, she left deep wounds on its body, with dark red blood seeping from the cracks in its carapace and flowing down its gray-black shell.

The armored bull began to stagger, its charging posture completely disrupted, like a severely wounded bison, spinning in place.

Jiang Youchu kept slowing down the bronze-level armored bull. Wave after wave of frost impacts covered the creature's body with a thick layer of ice, making it move as slowly as if it were struggling in a swamp.

Shen Wen walked over.

First head, one cut.

The knife sliced ​​through the gaps in the carapace and pierced the heart.

The second head, one cut.

The blade pierced through the eye socket and went through the brain.

The third head, one cut.

Make an incision from the side of the neck and sever the spine.

Shen Wen sheathed his sword.

The three bronze-level armored bulls fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay still.

Shen Wen wiped the blood off his face and walked up to the dark red armored bull.

This one is the only one still standing.

It stared at Shen Wen, its amber vertical pupils bloodshot, white foam dripping from the corners of its mouth, and its four hooves digging deep furrows in the sandy soil.

But it didn't flush.

It's not that I don't want to flush, it's that I'm afraid to flush.

Shen Wen raised the butcher's knife.

Blood spurted from the dark red blade.

The armored bull's body trembled.

It turned and ran away.

Shen Wen took a step forward, caught up, and slashed horizontally with his butcher's knife.

A flash of light, a head flew off, and dark red blood spurted out, splattering all over him.

The body lurched forward two steps before collapsing with a crash.

Shen Wen sheathed his sword, exhaled, and turned to look at the yellowish-green grove of trees.

The three-tailed fox lay atop the back of the Thousand-Limbed Demon Spider, its three tails held high. Its white fur was covered in sand, but it was in good spirits, with bright eyes and making "squeak squeak squeak" sounds.

The spiders were pulling out white cocoons one by one.

Even the weakest cave spider is a black iron level creature. It may not be as big as a fully grown behemoth, but if it can't handle an adult, it can't handle a cub.

Each cocoon contains a young, armored bull; some are still wriggling, while others are motionless. But the spider silk is very resilient and won't break even when dragging on the sandy ground.

Shen Wen counted them.

Twelve cocoons.

If they grow up, it'll be enough to scrape off a little bit of flesh from their bodies and eat it every day.

In addition, there may be other foods.

Then we'll collect the four bronze-armored bull carcasses, and then we won't have to worry about meat anymore.

The three-tailed fox demon presented a flower that looked like a queen flower, but with pus-like bumps on it, as if it were a treasure.

The entire giant lily was much larger than the three-tailed fox, and it kept squeaking.

But Shen Wen couldn't actually hear it; his communication with the three-tailed fox was a contractual one, and he could understand its meaning.

They say this is in the center, and there are many smaller ones all around, and the cubs are eating the smaller ones.

This should be the mother plant of that beast food.

The previous whale-shaped crystal core was special, so this thing should also be special.

So he asked Jiang Youchu to come and take a look.

Hearing Shen Wen call her, she stood up, patted the sand off her knees, and jogged over.

Shen Wen handed the plant to Jiang Youchu: "Take a look."

Jiang Youchu reached out and touched the plant, and a semi-transparent light screen popped up.

Then her eyes lit up.

"This thing is called the Beast God Flower." Her voice rose eight octaves. "It can produce offspring, and if animals eat it, it can accelerate their growth and cause them to grow larger and larger."

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow.

Accelerate growth rate.

Its size continues to increase.

It certainly fits the description of a giant beast; it seems that these giant beasts aren't born that big.

Moreover...

Arthropods are animals too.

He turned his head and glanced at the group of spiders behind him.

The Cave Spider is half a person's height, the Fallen Spider is a little over a person's height, and the Thousand-Limbed Spider is because it hasn't fully grown yet.

Now that it has eaten so much, it has grown to be almost the same size as a normal cave spider.

Su Qingxuan walked over, glanced at the Beast God Flower, then at Shen Wen: "Can this thing be grown?"

Shen Wen looked at Jiang Youchu.

Jiang Youchu scanned it again with her detection ability and shook her head: "It can be grown. This thing can be eaten with anything."

"We need to keep searching." Shen Wen put the Beast God Flower into his spatial backpack. "Besides completing missions, we can also grow this. The cubs will need it to eat."

Su Qingxuan frowned: "Isn't this too risky? We're encountering more and more giant beasts along the way."

"No problem, we still have room for manpower."

Shen Wen turned his head and glanced around.

"But when it comes to capturing the cubs, mobility is crucial. We should abandon some if possible, focusing primarily on the Beast God Flower and the Terror Whale Crystal Core. If necessary, we should spare the giant beasts if we have to."

"Let's not go any further. Let's turn back and look for those directions we bypassed earlier."

The four women nodded.

As for whether there might be people in other directions?

So what? You can't solve it, so we will.

Aren't we doing this for your own good?

As soon as Shen Wen finished speaking, the Ten Thousand Limbs Demon Spider suddenly became agitated.

Its eight legs swung rapidly on the ground, its body spun twice in place, and all eight eyes looked at Shen Wen at the same time, its mouth opening and closing with a rapid hissing sound.

Its silvery-white fur bristled, like a startled cat.

Shen Wen frowned slightly.

He has a pact with the Thousand-Limbed Demon Spider and can sense the information it transmits.

Spiders are extremely sensitive to vibrations.

This thing can sense vibrations from ten kilometers away.

In this place, a tremor is equivalent to the arrival of a giant beast.

"Little Spider said a giant beast is coming." Shen Wenshou flipped over and mounted the Fallen Demon Spider. "Let's go."

Su Mu, riding the Greedy Wolf Star, had already turned around, with his warhammer hanging at his waist and his shield on his back.

Without saying a word, Su Qingxuan and Jiang Youchu climbed onto the spider's back.

Lydia, carrying the three-tailed fox, jogged a few steps before Su Qingxuan reached out and pulled her onto the spider's back.

The spider army changed direction, moving all eight legs in unison, leaving trails of dust on the sandy ground.

"Not playing anymore?"

Jiang Youchu looked back at the way she had come, but still couldn't see anything on the horizon.

"Let's stop fighting." Shen Wen patted the spider's back, and the Fallen Spider's speed increased even further.

"If there had been time to resolve it at the beginning, but time is of the essence now, there's no need."

……

in the military camp.

The adjutant rushed in, his boots making a rapid sound on the stone floor.

"Captain! The scouts have reported back that a portion of the behemoth army we assembled has been sent out!"

Xu Jiucheng was smoking in front of the map when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and his pipe paused for a moment.

"Did they divide it up in part?"

He turned around, his gaze landing on his adjutant's face. "Are you sure they were separated, or not scattered?"

"Confirmed." The adjutant handed over the parchment. "The scouts have been watching for almost half an hour, and the Zhu Yan beast's direct line of men led a group of giant beasts in the northwest direction."

Xu Jiucheng took the parchment, glanced at the markings on it, and his brows furrowed even more.

Northwest direction.

That was the area with the highest concentration of grain stores and young nests.

He originally thought that the exorcists would be able to handle one or two granaries at best, given their limited numbers and varying strengths.

But if someone really makes a big commotion and attracts the attention of the Zhu Yan beast...

"Could it have been done by those exorcists?" the adjutant asked tentatively.

Xu Jiucheng remained silent.

He mentally reviewed the marked points on the map several times.

He prefers to use large-scale, head-on attacks in battle, and has never been interested in fancy tactics like special forces teams.

But given the current situation, there is really no other explanation besides those exorcists.

"Perhaps. Have all battalions increase their vigilance, lest the behemoths try a feint attack."

"Yes." The adjutant turned to leave.

"etc."

Xu Jiucheng called out to him, his gaze falling on the area in the northwest direction on the map.

"Send a few scouts to follow them and see what's going on over there."

The adjutant responded and quickly went out.

Xu Jiucheng stood in front of the map and tapped his finger in the northwest direction.

If someone can truly divert the Zhu Yan beast's attention, then the battle situation in this area will take a turn for the better.

Although their city was only part of the behemoth battlefront, every part of the battlefront was crucial.

If he can achieve results in this direction, his contribution will be immense!

……

Shen Wen jumped out of the pit, his boots hitting the sandy ground and kicking up a small cloud of dust.

The core of the fourth whale beast lay in the space backpack, making a total of four, including the previous three.

Beside the pit, four women were dealing with two bronze-level and a dozen black iron-level giant wolves.

Su Mu rode the Greedy Wolf Star, wandering along the edge of the giant wolf pack, occasionally striking with his warhammer to draw aggro.

Su Qingxuan's Blood Bride floated atop a giant wave, constantly tearing at the fur of the behemoth.

Jiang Youchu's frost storm exploded in the center of the giant beast horde, spreading a chill that made the creatures move slower and slower.

Lydia's holy light enveloped everyone, the pale golden glow standing out against the sandy ground.

Shen Wen flipped himself onto the Fallen Spider and patted its back: "Let's go!"

Without a word, the four women jumped onto the spiders' backs. The spider army turned around, its eight legs moving in unison, leaving trails of dust on the sandy ground.

The giant beasts chased after them for a few steps, only to find that they couldn't catch up at all; the spiders were much faster than them, even the cave spiders were faster.

They stood there watching the group of spiders run further and further away, letting out a reluctant roar, and then slowly dispersed.

Jiang Youchu looked back and grinned, "This is awesome!"

Before, we had to struggle for ages to catch them, but now we just grab them and run; they can't even see their taillights.

Su Qingxuan rode the Fallen Spider beside Shen Wen, her long hair blowing back in the wind: "This is indeed more efficient."

But the Zhu Yan Beast must have noticed us too. We took so many Terror Whale Crystal Cores; it couldn't have been unresponsive.

Shen Wen nodded: "So hurry up and finish off the last cub nest, then we'll leave."

Their current strategy is to fight and then retreat.

The main problem was that they encountered another beast tide on the way, but this time Shen Wen and his group used the speed of the spiders to bypass it.

Otherwise, if they continued to drag it out, they might be surrounded by giant beasts, so Shen Wencai changed his strategy.

I won't kill them.

This greatly increases the speed, but it only results in the loss of some points. I will hand these over and leave them behind when I get back.

It wouldn't be a problem if they came out to kill again.

Anyway, we still have time to stay.

The Thousand-Limbed Demon Spider continued to thrash its legs, and Shen Wen's expression changed instantly. "Vibrations are coming from several directions; giant beasts are surrounding us!"

"How did they know our exact direction!"

Shen Wen suddenly sensed something, and looked up sharply, only to see a giant eagle hovering in the sky.

"Holy crap! This behemoth even has an air force?"
