131 Chapter - Is That Red-Haired Lion An Epic Employee?
Beyond the core Station, trains were parked tightly against the high walls.
Each train had at least one, and at most three, Survivors guarding it with their employees, solely to ensure the train's safety.
Seeing Bai Cheng emerge from the Station again, these people immediately tensed up.
Although they knew that Pioneers couldn't harm each other during the trial.
It wasn't until they saw Bai Cheng go to her own train that they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Cheng's actual purpose in returning was only one: to contact Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue.
The former's speed must have been faster than hers, but not arriving yet could only mean she had gone to core Stations with other numbers.
Bai Cheng told Yu Nian not to act on her own after arriving at Infinite City, and also to inquire about Leng Ningxue's progress.
Because even most of Tang Yan's subordinates had already arrived, there was no reason for her to still be on the way.
However, the message she sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea; she received no response from either of them.
“Never mind, I suppose they must have already set off.”
Bai Cheng didn't think much of it, nor did she need to worry.
Before re-entering the Station, she even looked back at Tang Yan’s train.
At this moment, two people on the train were ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ exercising; although the sound was very faint, Bai Cheng, being an Elite-grade, still heard it.
“I think they were called Xiao Ran and Chen Xiao?” she muttered, “Why are they cuckolding Tang Yan?”
She vaguely felt that these two guys were a bit off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
However, it was certain that they were not truly loyal to Tang Yan.
“Are they staying here to mess with other people's trains?”
Bai Cheng didn't think much of it, withdrew her gaze, and walked directly into the Station with Scarlet Flame.
The mount employees of these Pioneers, which were their first recruited employees, were mostly cattle and horses, and only the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title was able to retain their first employee.
As for subsequent employees, Bai Cheng was familiar with almost all types of creatures from various terrains, and there were very few that could be ridden.
Although the quality of Pioneer employees was relatively superior and they had been strengthened, it still couldn't change the current situation.
Therefore, the travel speed of this group of Pioneers was destined not to be too fast.
“About two hundred kilometers away; by the time we reach Infinite City, it will probably be dawn.”
Bai Cheng looked up at the dark night sky; there were no volcanoes in this land protected by high walls, so even during Silent Night, no fireballs fell from the sky.
This saved everyone a lot of trouble.
Blazing flames burned, and Scarlet Flame suddenly transformed into a giant male lion; his four limbs burned with fierce flames, and the fur on his body emitted a vibrant luster, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Bai Cheng flashed onto Scarlet Flame's back and immediately said, “Let's go!”
Scarlet Flame gathered strength and ran, like a crimson meteor streaking across the night, swiftly rushing forward until he disappeared into the distance.
Not far ahead, on the reddish-black plateau, a group of Pioneers were traveling and chatting happily.
And because Bai Cheng was not around, they spoke even more frankly, even openly discussing the encirclement operation organized by Tang Yan this time.
“Tang Ge, is that red-haired girl next to Bai Cheng a Legendary Employee? But she just looks a bit sturdy, there's nothing special about her!”
“No, her Legendary Employee is left to guard the train,” Tang Yan shook his head.
Everyone around immediately laughed upon hearing this: “It seems that although Legendary Employees are powerful, they aren't omnipotent after all!”
“That's right, at least he can't be a mount, hahaha!”
Tang Yan also curled his lips: “So this trial is simply heaven-sent for us; Bai Cheng's Legendary Employee isn't with her, killing her will be as easy as killing a chicken!”
At this moment, all the Pioneers became excited upon hearing this, as if the employee card dropped from killing her was within their grasp at any time.
Just then, someone also reacted.
“By the way, we've already been traveling for almost half an hour, why haven't we seen any sign of Bai Cheng?”
Some people heard this but didn't care, instead scoffing, “She's not being carried by that red-haired guy, is she? She'll probably be exhausted to death, hahaha!”
But ultimately, those who underestimated Bai Cheng were a minority; most people still showed apprehension towards her.
They looked back with some unease, but suddenly noticed a crimson firelight in the distance approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
“Holy crap, what is that!”
The sound attracted more people, and everyone quickly noticed the anomaly behind them.
“Is it a monster? Could it be that the Infinite Marauders found us and are attacking!”
A word awakened the dreamers, and everyone immediately became alert, having their respective employees prepare for battle.
For a moment, the team stopped advancing, as if facing a formidable enemy.
And as the opponent gradually approached, they suddenly realized it was a giant beast, and the invisible pressure at this moment had already caused all the employees present, especially the mounts, to feel an unparalleled immense fear.
Thump—!
A wild ox suddenly knelt down, and the Pioneer on top of it also stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
“Damn it, what are you doing, you dead ox!”
But as soon as he finished cursing, he looked up and suddenly noticed a white-haired figure sitting on the back of the giant beast not far away.
His pupils constricted: “It's, it's Bai Cheng!”
Everyone was shocked, all frozen in place.
They clearly saw that the giant beast was a male lion, and they also clearly saw that the one sitting on its back was Bai Cheng.
The next second, a crimson figure flashed through the crowd, bringing with it rolling heat waves, and instantly appeared behind them, continuing to gallop forward.
Bai Cheng, on Scarlet Flame's back, couldn't help but show a hint of confusion at this sight.
“Why are these guys all frozen in place?”
And as Bai Cheng moved further away, Scarlet Flame's intentionally suppressed aura finally disappeared.
The employees all breathed a sigh of relief, but the Pioneers were still stunned in place, not recovering for a long time.
“What, what exactly was that?”
“Are you sure this guy is just Bai Cheng's mount?”
Someone asked, but this question was clearly directed at Tang Yan.
And Tang Yan, with his foresight, appeared even more incredulous than the others.
Although he didn't know the strength of this lion, even a fool would know that he already looked terrifyingly strong just by appearance!
“That doesn't make sense...”
“Brother Tang, are you sure this lion isn't Bai Cheng's Legendary Employee?” everyone asked.
Tang Yan frowned upon hearing this: “I have already confirmed with my talent; he is definitely not Legendary Grade.”
Seeing Tang Yan so certain, everyone finally relaxed a little.
And to reinforce everyone's confidence, he immediately used his last prediction ability for the day.
“Is that red-haired lion an Epic Employee?”
