118 Chapter - Must Disgust Him
“The rain stopped?”
Bai Cheng was a little surprised; she raised her hand to check the time, and it was still early before nightfall.
She had originally thought the Ashen Rain only ceased at dusk each day.
Now, it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.
However, the large number of demonic beasts that attacked this time had seen a significant leap in strength compared to the last time.
The demonic beasts from the initial attack were very weak, mostly low-level, Ordinary Grade ones.
But this time, with the increased duration of their stay and the enhancement from the Ashen Rain, the levels of these demonic beasts swarming the cave entrance were generally at Ordinary Grade Tier 8 to 9.
“Such a huge jump?” Bai Cheng was a little astonished.
Doesn't that mean a large number of Elite-grade demonic beast packs will attack tomorrow?
To increase the strength of demonic beasts to Elite-grade in three days—how could any Survivor possibly withstand that?
“No wonder the anti-detection coating was unlocked,” Bai Cheng suddenly realized.
The main purpose of this new technology was to create a time difference when the Ashen Rain wasn't falling.
After all, in Lava Volcano, the Ashen Rain falls for most of the day.
Bai Cheng's gaze moved away from the screen, and she didn't pay attention to the battle at the cave entrance behind her.
Due to the terrain, these attacking demonic beasts were crowded together, which actually increased the efficiency of Zi Yuan and the other employees in slaying them.
As for whether the demonic beasts were Ordinary Tier 1 or Ordinary Tier 9, or even Elite-grade, there wasn't really any difference.
Bai Cheng put down her backpack and then instructed Yu Nian.
“There are many demonic beasts this time, but Nian Nian, you and Qingniao shouldn't rush to kill enemies yet; remember, absolutely do not break through to Elite-grade.”
“Eh?” Yu Nian was a little confused; besides saving fuel, the purpose of stopping their powered railcar was to gain experience points.
Now they were being told not to level up?
Seeing her confused expression, Bai Cheng simply gave a charmingly evil smile: “You'll understand in a couple of days.”
She kept them in suspense.
Then Bai Cheng checked the information of the flame spirit crown in her hand.
【Name: flame spirit crown】
【Quality: Epic】
【Description: Wear the crown and complete the ritual to be crowned King of the Flame Spirits race.】
【Hint: Using this item has a certain chance to change your bloodline.】
【Rating: Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!】
“Can this trash really be an Epic item?” Bai Cheng was very displeased with this.
This exclusive item was only effective for Flame Spirits; otherwise, it had no other use at all.
She immediately wanted to throw the crown away, but on second thought, it would be better to use it for trade, so she temporarily left it on the powered railcar.
Afterward, Bai Cheng took all the backpacks and Chiyan, and re-entered the depths of the cave.
The supplies in the Flame Spirits nest couldn't be moved all at once; she still had to make another trip.
......
In a flash, two days passed.
During this time, the supplies accumulated by Bai Cheng and Yu Nian had completely filled one powered railcar compartment.
Coupled with the gains from killing demonic beasts, everyone's level, except for Yu Nian and Qingniao, had significantly increased.
The smallest increase was for Bai Cheng; she was currently at Elite Tier 3.
Her three primary attributes were Strength 27, Physique 27, and Spirit 43.
Lü Duo successfully advanced to Commander Tier 1, while Chiyan and Zi Yuan were Commander Tier 4 and Commander Tier 3, respectively.
As for Yu Nian and Qingniao, they were both stuck at Tier 9 of their respective levels, just one step away from breaking through.
On the reddish-black ground, the Ashen Rain was still gently falling, and inside the cave, a few people were sitting around the powered railcar, eating dinner.
“Chiyan, later, can you go burn those demonic beast corpses outside? They stink,” Yu Nian said, glancing towards the cave entrance while eating.
“Yes, Second Miss.” Chiyan immediately got up upon hearing this.
The demonic beasts outside were ones they had just killed; among them, besides those Ordinary Grade peak demonic beasts, there were already many Elite-grade demonic beasts in the pack.
This was undoubtedly good news for Bai Cheng.
Elite-grade demonic beasts not only provided more experience points, but they could also drop Magic Crystals after being killed.
Now, she no longer had to worry about Yu Nian, Qingniao, or even the subsequent new employees falling behind in levels.
“Xiao Cheng, I feel like the trial is about to begin.” She stood at the powered railcar entrance, tilting her head to look at the screen inside.
“Is that so,” Bai Cheng looked up, “that fast?”
“Well, isn't that good? After completing the trial, we can directly leave this wretched place,” she continued.
But Bai Cheng didn't think so; the strength of the demonic beasts over three days was still completely within her acceptable range.
She wanted to continue stockpiling Magic Crystals and gaining experience points.
After all, no one could say whether there would be such a good opportunity in subsequent terrains.
Bai Cheng got up and also glanced at the screen; currently, the number of Pioneers who had arrived at Lava Volcano had already exceeded more than half.
【Progress: Pioneers who have arrived at Lava Volcano (39 / 50); Remaining time (4 days)】
“The number of people has decreased again,” Yu Nian said to Bai Cheng, who had approached.
“Hmm,” Bai Cheng nodded, “this obviously means some Pioneers have merged their powered railcars, but it doesn't rule out that some have died.”
“It's only been three days; it seems they are still quite fast.”
At this moment, Bai Cheng glanced at her watch and murmured, “It's about time.”
After saying that, she walked forward on her own, came to the control panel, and operated the screen in front of her.
“What is it?”
Yu Nian also looked over with a curious and questioning gaze, and then she saw that Bai Cheng had actually opened the chat and posted a message in the channel?
“No, Xiao Cheng, what are you doing?”
She stepped forward to examine it closely and was immediately stunned.
“Free help to kill Advancement Platform BOSS!”
This should have been an ignored message, but because the publisher was Bai Cheng, it immediately attracted the attention of all Survivors.
The channel instantly became lively, with everyone discussing it.
And Yu Nian also witnessed Bai Cheng's private messages go from +1 to +99 in an instant.
Bai Cheng began to filter targets, and soon her gaze settled on a Pioneer named Niu Dali.
“I'm already at Ordinary Grade peak; as soon as the Station cooldown ends, I can directly start the mission.”
“By the way, is it really free help? Paid help is also fine.”
Bai Cheng, of course, didn't care for his supplies and resolutely refused.
After some communication, Niu Dali, without any doubt, directly invited her to join the Subjugation team.
Bai Cheng closed the chat and looked at Yu Nian: “Nian Nian, later you'll take Qingniao and Lü Duo to the Advancement Platform.”
At this point, Yu Nian also understood: “Xiao Cheng, you don't intend to ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) let that guy Tang Yan advance, which is why you've been holding back my level?”
“That's right, I have to disgust him,” Bai Cheng sneered, “I want to see if his prophecy can see his own future.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the cooldown time for the Advancement Platform completely ended.
Niu Dali sent a message, and Yu Nian immediately took Lü Duo and Qingniao and set off in the powered railcar.
【Distance to next Station: 500km】
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the foot of a volcano.
Tang Yan, seeing the channel message and his subordinate's notification, uncharacteristically did not fly into a rage; instead, he showed a cold smile.
“I knew long ago that you ugly bitch had ill intentions.”
Chen Xiao, who was clinging to his arm, also echoed: “Yes, Tang Ge, we haven't traveled much these past three days, so I don't believe she can be faster than us.”
Tang Yan looked at the information on the detection platform: 【Distance to next Station: 500km】.
He waved his hand: “Full speed ahead, we absolutely cannot let Bai Cheng get there before us!”
