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

Chen Ye neither dodged nor evaded. He twirled the Dragon Scale Halberd halfway in his hand, and the shaft, glowing with a faint purple aura, rose from the bottom up, the tip of which precisely met the monster's claws.

"clang--!"

The metal struck the claws with a crisp clang, and sparks flashed across the dark canyon.

Chen Ye felt a considerable recoil force from the gun, but his arm did not shake at all.

Using the force of the blow, he retracted the gun and thrust it out again, the tip of the gun cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for the monster's chest.

Although the monster was fast, it was still a beat slower than Chen Ye.

The moment the spear tip pierced the monster's chest, a chill gushed out from the crack. The spear shaft penetrated nearly twenty centimeters. Chen Ye felt the spear tip touch a hard structure, and with a sudden twist of his wrist, he shredded that structure from the inside.

The monster's body stiffened abruptly, and the white light in its eye sockets dimmed rapidly.

After a brief moment of stillness, its body fell backward, crashing onto the ice with a dull thud.

[Slay an elite Ice Corpse, score +100]

A system notification flashed before Chen Ye's eyes; his current strength attribute was enough to easily kill elite-level monsters.

Chen Ye drew his spear tip, glanced at the ice corpse on the ground that was slowly frosting over, then turned and walked back to the group: "The monster in the ice coffin is an elite monster, not very strong. There are quite a few ice coffins like this in this canyon. Since we've come across one, let's just take it out. It's all for points."

For the next three hours, the team advanced inward along the canyon.

One by one, the ice coffins embedded in the ice layer of the rock wall were awakened by them. The ice corpses rushed out of the coffins at great speed, but they still could not last more than a few rounds against the cooperation of Chen Ye and Gu Qinghuan.

Zhao Hai's fist techniques and Wen Ning's lightsaber can kill within a few strikes, Qin Zhaoyang's armor-piercing arrow can open a fist-sized hole in the ice corpse with a single shot, and Zhou Yating's Thousand Flame Rain also showed good efficiency in clearing monsters in a large area.

The six people worked together seamlessly, and the progress was much faster than expected.

When they finished cleaning the last ice coffin and walked out of the canyon, the wind and snow had stopped.

Outside the canyon exit lies a relatively open snowfield, and at the edge of the field of vision, one can vaguely see the outline of a mountain ridge that is higher than the surrounding area.

Chen Ye opened the scene chat system, glanced at the map to confirm the location, and based on his understanding of the Death Game, the boss guarding the gate was most likely in the central area of ​​the map, such as the central square of Mirror City and the central control tower of Mechanical City.

So if you don't know where the BOSS is, you can't go wrong by going to the center of the trial area first.

According to the location marked on the map, he is still quite a distance away from the central area of ​​the Ice Abyss Mountains.

The survival trial is in a very large area, so you have to plan your travel time carefully, otherwise you will be trapped here even if you complete the task. Fortunately, the survival trial lasts for seven days.

Just as he was about to close the scene chat channel, a message popped up.

[G4921 (Yang Zhen): I've spotted what appears to be a BOSS-level monster.]

About a minute after the message was sent, a reply popped up.

[G4939 (Wang Zekai): Is it that Extreme Cold Ice Lord?]

Yang Zhen's reply followed immediately.

[G4921 (Yang Zhen): We'll know once we kill the boss, right? Even if it's not the Extreme Cold Ice Lord, it'll be some other boss. Anyone interested can come and check it out. I've sent you the coordinates; you can find me on the map.]

After this message, the chat channel fell silent.

Chen Ye shifted his gaze to the large map on the right side of the chat interface. A red dot appeared on the map, with the words "Yang Zhen" written next to it.

Yang Zhen's location wasn't too far from here.

Gu Qinghuan, Zhao Hai, and the others also gathered around.

After Yang Zhen sent the coordinates, no new messages were sent to the chat interface.

Zhao Hai looked up at Chen Ye: "It's not far from us. Should we go take a look? If it really is the Extreme Cold Ice Lord, we'll need to gather our top-tier combat forces, otherwise it won't be so easy to kill him."

Wen Ning pondered for a moment: "It's good to go and take a look. At least we can find out what's going on with train G4921. Among the trains participating this time, G4921 has the highest number and should be the highest level. Let's take this opportunity to understand their strength."

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly without saying anything, but she clearly also felt it was worth taking a look.

Qin Zhaoyang rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowing slightly: "But speaking of which, it seems no one else replied after Yang Zhen sent the message. Wang Zekai only replied once, and then there was no follow-up. Will anyone go?"

"Not replying doesn't mean they didn't see it. Someone will go eventually. Didn't we decide to go check it out?"

Chen Ye swiped his finger across the screen, switching to the train chat interface, and sent a message to Lu Qingchuan.

[Chen Ye: Are you going or not?]

[Lu Qingchuan: We're already on our way.]

Chen Ye closed the system panel: "Let's go see what Yang Zhen has discovered."

……

Meanwhile, in another canyon, ice coffins were also scattered across the ground.

Li Jiahao's gaze swept over the ice coffins, but his pace did not slow down at all.

The snow beneath his feet was of varying depths, and each step required extra effort to maintain his balance. The sound of his heartbeat remained steady behind him, like a patient hunting dog.

"Click—"

On the left side of the rock wall, a crack appeared in the ice. The crack extended downwards from the top of the ice coffin. The moment Li Jiahao caught a glimpse of the crack out of the corner of his eye, his body had already abruptly shifted direction on the snow.

The lid of the ice coffin shattered completely, and a figure entirely white shot out from it, moving as fast as a white lightning bolt.

Five cold streaks of light flashed through the air as the claws aimed straight for Li Jiahao's back.

Li Jiahao's body blurred before the claws arrived.

The white shadow's claws pierced through his torso as if passing through a wisp of air.

The ice corpse's attack did not stop there. After landing, it turned on all fours and pounced towards Li Jiahao.

At the same time, three arrows wrapped in cyan light pierced through the air from behind, accurately embedding themselves in the back and nape of the ice corpse.

The first arrow pierced the shoulder blade, the second arrow penetrated the back of the neck, and the third arrow pierced the center of the ice corpse's skull.

The ice corpse's body stiffened for a moment, then collapsed onto the snow, splashing up a cloud of white snowflakes.

Keep running, or you'll die.

Jiang Ning's slightly teasing voice came from behind.
