Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

"Don't worry, you won't die."

As soon as the tree bark-faced figure finished speaking, five light screens unfolded in front of Chen Ye and the other two, hovering in mid-air.

The light screen showed the scenes inside the other light gates.

Chen Ye's gaze first swept over the first light screen.

Zhao Hai, Wang Ze, and Xia Yan were standing in a large hall that resembled this one.

There was also a tree in the center of the main hall, but that tree was much larger than the one Chen Ye was on. Its trunk was thick and its surface was covered with dark red patterns, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Countless vines extended from the tree trunk, dancing wildly in mid-air like enraged pythons, lashing out at the three with a sharp whooshing sound.

Wang Ze swung his long sword down suddenly, and the gravity field was activated. The invisible force field greatly slowed down the vines that were whipping towards them, making the vines seem to be moving through mud, their movements a few degrees slower.

Zhao Hai's fists had become completely metallic, with a silvery-white metallic sheen spreading from his fingertips to his shoulders, and crimson flames burning fiercely on his fists.

His body weaved through the gaps in the vines, each punch landing precisely on the tree trunk, causing flames to explode, the bark to crack, and dark red sap to gush out from the cracks.

Xia Yan's figure flickered continuously in the hall, appearing behind or beside Zhao Hai with each teleportation. Her twin daggers sliced ​​through the vines that tried to attack from the side, cutting them off.

The three worked together seamlessly, combining offense and defense.

"It's surprising that Hai-ge didn't go with Wen Ning-jie, but he should be able to handle that tree with Wang Ze and Xia Yan."

Qin Zhaoyang's voice came from beside Chen Ye, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Chen Ye nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the second light screen.

The scene where Gu Qinghuan was located was also a grand hall.

The tree in the center of the main hall had been cut in half. The broken part of the trunk was as smooth as a mirror, and dark red sap gushed out from the cut, forming a small puddle on the ground.

Gu Qinghuan was standing next to the broken tree, with six silver-white throwing knives hovering beside her, their blades covered in dark red sap.

She bent down and picked up the fallen items from the light shield next to the tree roots. Her movements were swift and efficient. After glancing at them, she put them into her storage space.

Not far behind her stood two people, one from Su Jin's team and the other from Lei Xing's team.

The two stood at the edge of the main hall, craning their necks to look in Gu Qinghuan's direction, but neither of them approached.

"Gu Qinghuan is really strong. She took down that tree all by herself, and she was so fast... She's ruthless."

Qin Zhaoyang's tone carried an undisguised admiration.

Chen Ye didn't reply, his gaze shifting to the third light screen.

Lei Xing, Li Tianran, and one of their teammates are locked in combat with a tree-shaped BOSS.

The three were originally from the same team, and their teamwork was seamless, with almost no gaps between offense and defense.

The battle inside the fourth light barrier is the most dangerous.

That was the main hall where Jiang Ning, Li Jiahao, and Jian Lan were, and there was also a tree in the center of that hall.

The tree wasn't particularly large, but the number of vines far exceeded those in the other places. Thick and thin, long and short, they layered upon each other, almost covering the entire space of the hall.

Jiang Ning's figure kept dodging in the hall, his body covered by a pale red halo.

His longbow fired blue arrows without stopping, each one striking the trunk of the tree with pinpoint accuracy.

However, there were too many vines, and he spent most of his time dodging the vines that came from different directions, which severely suppressed his shooting frequency.

Li Jiahao's body constantly shifted between reality and illusion. When the vines lashed across his body, the illusory parts would pass through, but in the gaps between the shifts, some vines would always manage to brush against the edge of his body, leaving tearing holes in his clothes.

Jian Lan practically fled through the gaps in the vines; she wasn't slow, but she had clearly reached her limit.

"Jiang Ning's situation is a bit precarious." Zhou Yating stared at the screen, her voice lowered. "Jian Lan and Li Jiahao are basically not helping much; it's just Jiang Ning fighting all by herself."

"Serves him right, who told him to like scheming against others."

Qin Zhaoyang, on the other hand, was somewhat gloating.

Chen Ye shifted his gaze from the light screen to the last one.

The scene in the last light curtain was completely different from the previous four.

Wen Ning, Su Jin, and Yang Qing were standing in a grand hall.

There were no trees in the center of the main hall, the floor was a flat, dark stone slab, the dome was lit by a uniform, soft light, and the surroundings were empty.

"Why didn't they fight the boss?"

Qin Zhaoyang's tone was clearly surprised, and he tilted his head forward slightly, as if to see the scene on the light screen more clearly.

The bark-faced creature chuckled, and the brown face on the tree trunk turned slightly, its eyes showing a hint of interest: "Because they are quite interesting. I have been here for countless years, and I have seen many of your human love affairs, but those like them... are quite rare."

Qin Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and his lips twitched: "You really are making a fuss over nothing. What era are we living in? Lesbians are no longer a rare species."

The bark-faced man ignored Qin Zhaoyang, his amber eyes shifting from Qin Zhaoyang to Chen Ye: "That little girl with the knife, deep down, harbors hostility towards you, you know that?"

"What do you mean?"

Qin Zhaoyang asked the question first.

The tree-bark-faced man didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye's expression remained unchanged. He recalled the first night when the blood mist rose, and how the emotions of everyone around the campfire began to twist to varying degrees.

The lower-class passengers were the first to lose control, followed by Wen Ning, then Qin Zhaoyang and Zhou Yating. He himself also felt the irritability and abnormal emotional fluctuations.

But Su Jin's state at that time was very different. She was not in pain, trembling or with dilated pupils like the others. Her gaze was direct, staring straight at him, and her eyes were not very friendly.

"The blood mist can amplify the human subconscious. Greed, jealousy, fear, cowardice... things that are usually suppressed by reason will float up like bubbles in the blood mist and burst one by one. In her subconscious, she has a deep jealousy of you, and the source of this jealousy is not because you are talented or strong."

The tree-bark-faced figure looked at Wen Ning and Su Jin on the light screen with a playful expression.

"Subconsciously, she probably sees me as a rival in love."

Chen Ye naturally understood that Su Jin's behavior was mostly due to Wen Ning.

The bark-faced figure continued, "Do you want to know her secret? I can make her show her truest self and unleash her most primal desires."

"I don't want to know, and I have no interest in prying into other people's privacy."

Chen Ye resolutely refused.

"You're really boring."

The corners of the tree-bark-faced man's mouth curved into a half-smile.

Immediately afterwards, crimson mist began to spread within the light screen where Wen Ning and Su Jin were located.
