Don't mess with that necromancer; his summoned creatures level up on their own!

Inside the cockpit, Shen Yifeng, the train conductor, and Xiao Liu stared intently into the distance, searching for the source of this beast tide.

Shen Yifeng frantically searched through his binoculars, fine beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.

Xiao Liu suddenly exclaimed.

"Captain Shen, we think we've found it! Look in the 11 o'clock direction!"

Shen Yifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked over.

A terrifying giant, over twenty meters tall, entered his field of vision.

Its entire body is made of grayish-white rock, and it is wrapped with thick chains. The ground trembles slightly with every step it takes.

A tattered battle flag, radiating a scarlet glow, was stuck on its back.

Its movements appeared somewhat slow, but it was heading in the direction the train was bound to take.

Shen Yifeng gasped.

"Oh no...that's...a War Giant..."

Xiao Liu hurriedly pressed for more information.

"A War Giant? Captain Shen, is that thing really that powerful?"

"The War Giant itself isn't strong; it just has a lot of health, is very tanky, and is immune to all control skills."

Xiao Liu was taken aback.

"Isn't that stupid? Since it doesn't have much offensive power, why don't we just call in our elite squad and focus fire to take it out?"

Shen Yifeng put down his binoculars.

"Its most terrifying aspect isn't itself, but its core skill—the War Aura. All monsters under its control receive a 200% boost to all attributes!"

Xiao Liu was completely dumbfounded: "All...all attributes increased by 200%?!"

The current beast tide is only around level 25 to 30, and the defenses on the train can easily repel it.

But with all attributes boosted by 200%, those cannon fodder who could have been wiped out with a single burst of magic machine gun fire can now charge straight to the train while under heavy fire.

If these enhanced monsters manage to break through the defensive array and engage the guards on the roof in close combat, the passengers in the carriages will likely be affected.

Moreover, given the scale and intensity of this beast tide, it was only a matter of time before the train's defenses were breached.

Shen Yifeng slammed his fist on the control panel, his eyes bloodshot.

"Damn it! How did I end up with something like this!"

The situation instantly turned into a dead end.

If we send the elite guards to focus fire on this tough-skinned giant...

The remaining ordinary team members were no match for the ferocious beast horde with doubled attributes;

However, if the elite forces are sent to clear out the smaller monsters and guard the carriages, the giants will arrive at the train without any hindrance.

Faced with this immune and thick-skinned giant, the passengers in the carriage were not spared.

Advancing means death, retreating means death.

A resolute glint flashed in Shen Yifeng's eyes as he roared at the train conductor.

"parking!!!"

The train conductor's hand trembled: "What?!"

Shen Yifeng roared, "Stop the car immediately! Hold the line! Wait for reinforcements! There's no other choice!"

He quickly gave the order.

"Pass on my order! All elite guards, go all out and take down that damned giant as quickly as possible! Then return to the defensive wagon!"

"Everyone else, get on the roof and hold the line! We can't let a single monster get into the carriage! Even if we all die, we have to hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

Xiao Liu did not hesitate at all.

"yes!!!"

He turned around, took out his communicator, and began to relay orders.

This order carried a tragic, death-defying resolve; there was no turning back, only a gamble.

They were betting that they could take down the giant before the beast tide destroyed everything.

"laugh--!!!"

The high-speed magical train came to a sudden stop.

Inside the luxurious carriage, Lu Zhixing frowned.

"What happened? Did you park the car?"

He looked out the train window and saw that the beast horde had already clashed with the train's guards, with flames shooting into the sky.

The magic machine guns and magic cannons roared wildly, and skills of various colors exploded in the night sky like an endless fireworks display.

Lu Zhixing was somewhat puzzled.

"Wait a minute... I remember that encountering beast tides is common for magic trains, but they usually fight their way through while charging. Why did they stop and start a direct confrontation?"

Su Lin also peeked over to take a look.

"Yes, I've ridden this train many times before, and I've never seen anyone fight while it's parked."

Looking out the window at the dark, swarming beasts and the explosive battle scenes, Lu Zhixing felt a sense of foreboding.

I finally managed to go out, and something bad has to happen?

Is his luck really that bad?

As he was thinking, he saw the guards' intense firepower and the monsters being slaughtered in large numbers, which calmed him down a little—judging from this, the guards seemed pretty formidable.

Captain Shen is a professional after all; if he dared to park, he must have been confident.

He's just a passenger; let the professionals handle the rough work involving fighting and killing.

Su Lin greeted him.

"Alright, stop watching, it's kind of scary. That last round doesn't count, let's continue, a full three hundred rounds of battle!"

Lu Zhixing withdrew his gaze: "Come on then, are you afraid of me?"

"Five."

"I can't afford it."

"Single three".

"Pass."

Suddenly—BOOM!!!

A loud bang came from overhead.

The entire carriage shook violently, and a sharp claw tore a gash several meters long through the hard roof.

Above the gaping hole, a massive monster head peered down, greedily surveying the people inside the carriage.

Chaos erupted instantly inside the carriage, with passengers screaming in terror.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Help!"

The little vampire was the first to react.

"Protect the Emperor!!!"

The little zombie suddenly sprang up, its bluish-gray figure leaving a trail of afterimages in the carriage, and delivered a flying punch.

The monster that was about to pounce was blasted into a spiral and flew out, crashing through the car window and disappearing into the night.

There was a brief moment of silence in the carriage, and Su Lin patted his chest, panting.

"Thank goodness you were here... You scared me to death."

She stood up from her seat, her expression becoming serious.

"However... the defensive array has been breached, it seems this time something really serious is about to happen."

Lu Zhixing stared at the hole, and after a moment of silence, put down his cards.

He was indeed too lazy to do it; that was the guards' job.

But being lazy doesn't mean he's a cold-blooded animal.

Since it has already threatened themselves, and even the lives of everyone on the bus, there is no reason to stand idly by.

He turned his head, his voice a few decibels deeper than before.

"Su Lin, cast all your strongest buffs on me."

Su Lin's eyes lit up.

"Hmm? Okay!"

Her staff appeared in her hand, and with a sudden swing, three beams of light fell upon Lu Zhixing.

Lu Zhixing felt his body lighten, and an unprecedented sense of power filled his entire body, even his vision became clearer than before.

Thanks.

A fierce wind howled, and cyan wind elements condensed behind him into a pair of semi-transparent wings.

Lu Zhixing hovered in mid-air, the night wind blowing in from the hole making his robes flutter.

He glanced down at the buff bar on the panel.

The first buff is "Miracle Through Strength":

Increases damage dealt by 50% and reduces defense by 50% for five minutes; cannot be dispelled.

The second buff is a bittersweet experience:

Restores 2% of maximum health per second, increases pain sensitivity by 200% for five minutes, and cannot be dispelled;

The third buff is "Come here!"

Reduces all damage taken by 50%, forcibly attracts the aggro of all monsters within a 1000-meter radius, cannot be dispelled, and cannot be resisted.

Set buff effect triggered: Collect all buffs to trigger the set buff effect - Hope of the whole village: All the above numerical effects are increased by an additional 30%.

Before he could finish reading, thousands of scarlet eyes had already locked onto him.

Outside the hole in the roof, in the distance, the monsters that were charging towards the train all stopped in their tracks, turned their heads in unison, and locked their gazes on the figure with blue wings on its back in mid-air.

Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and chuckled.

"Okay, okay, is this how you play?"

He spread his wings and flew out through the hole, the night wind filling his robes.

Below the hole, passengers in the carriage looked up at the figure that had flown out, and someone whispered something.

"...That one up there, is it from the Azure Dragon Class?"
