Bai Cheng froze for a moment, immediately turning around when she heard the slightly childish voice.
She saw Ye Liangchen, accompanied by his Demonic Human race employee, also hurrying towards them, guided by a Goblin.
He had started calling out from a distance.
Bai Cheng was a little surprised, completely not expecting him to arrive so early.
She had, after all, used the Infinite Train Armored Core skill!
She couldn't understand how he had managed to catch up to her.
However, Bai Cheng still suppressed her curiosity, and at the same time, Ye Liangchen, who had walked up to her, also showed no surprise.
Both sides were clearly astonished by each other's strength, yet they feigned an expression of nonchalance.
Ye Liangchen, with a familiar air, was the first to speak, smiling, "As expected of the Survivor I acknowledge. I lost this bet."
Bai Cheng's lips also curled into a smile upon hearing this. "So, where's the gift you promised me?"
Come on, why refuse something free? Who wouldn't want something free?
Moreover, the strength Ye Liangchen displayed truly surprised Bai Cheng. It was better to have a friend than another enemy, of course.
"Time is pressing; other Survivors could arrive at any moment," Ye Liangchen explained.
Hearing Bai Cheng's reply, he understood her attitude and was naturally in high spirits.
Then, in a negotiating tone, he continued, "How about we deal with the Station BOSS first, and I'll give you the gift later?"
Bai Cheng wasn't really concerned about his gift, so ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) she nodded without much thought.
"Of course."
After all, neither of them wanted this promotion slot to fall into the hands of other Survivors.
Currently, dealing with the Station BOSS as quickly as possible was the most important thing.
Without hesitation, the two entered the arena.
At this moment, Ye Liangchen didn't forget to secretly observe Chi Yan beside Bai Cheng, seemingly very worried that she was also a War General-level employee.
But after a moment of thought, he shook his head and chuckled.
As a channel leader, even if one poured all their resources into it, it might not be enough to cultivate a War General-level employee. How could she possibly have two such powerful fighters?
Upon entering the arena, they found a massive square altar.
The gray stone ground was covered with countless unknown patterns, and in each corner, four tall, straight stone pillars burned with roaring bonfires at their tops.
In the center was a circular, concave base with three distinct slots for placing trophies.
Having had the experience once before, Bai Cheng was naturally familiar with the process this time.
She took out three trophies, placed them into the slots one by one, and then walked to a red stele in the corner, preparing to activate the BOSS.
"Are you ready!" Bai Cheng called out as a reminder.
At this point, Ye Liangchen was already standing in the center of the altar. His Demonic Human race employee once again transformed into black general's armor, and at the same time, his aura instantly broke through the Elite-grade limit, reaching War General-level.
However, this time Bai Cheng saw clearly from a short distance that his strength only increased after the armor was donned.
In other words, Huang Yu was right; Ye Liangchen's ability to reach War General-level had nothing to do with his Demonic Human race employee.
After giving Zi Yuan a brief instruction, the latter slowly walked towards the center of the altar with her blade.
Ye Liangchen turned back, curiously asking, "Aren't you and your other employee going to help?"
Bai Cheng spread her hands with a smile, indicating helplessness. "With you and my employee, two War General-level fighters, what's the point of us two Elite-grade joining in?"
Ye Liangchen paused slightly at her words. Although Bai Cheng couldn't see his face beneath the mask, she guessed that he must have been smiling at that moment.
"You're right."
Then, he turned his head back, no longer observing Bai Cheng and Chi Yan, and continued, "Let's begin!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng immediately chose to activate the altar.
The next second, the entire arena vibrated, and a strange red light suddenly began to condense in the center of the field.
At the same time, the altar in front of Bai Cheng began to display some information about the Station BOSS.
"BOSS Name: Elder Withered Tree"
"Strength: War General Stage Three (Enhanced)"
"Promotion Stage: War General-level"
"Hint: The challenge area is still a public space, but as more Survivors enter, the Elder Withered Tree's strength will be correspondingly enhanced. Additionally, if all individuals leave the promotion area, it will automatically be considered a failed challenge, and the promotion challenge cooldown will be extended to 10 days."
Bai Cheng's eyes narrowed; the rules this time were significantly different from the last.
The most prominent difference was that the area would not be sealed off after the challenge began.
This meant that if the two couldn't defeat the BOSS and get promoted quickly, other Survivors could still join the battle at any time after arriving.
"I hope your strength doesn't disappoint me."
Bai Cheng gazed at the black-armored back in front of her, muttering to herself.
Just then, after the red light flashed, a giant black treant stood majestically in the center of the altar.
Almost the instant Elder Withered Tree appeared, it immediately extended its hand, its five fingers instantly transforming into countless vines that swept towards Ye Liangchen and Zi Yuan.
The two reacted differently. Zi Yuan chose to dodge immediately, while the Tang Dao in Ye Liangchen's hand ignited with a black energy, cutting down all the incoming vines.
At the same time, countless more vines pierced through the ground, and the entire altar instantly collapsed into ruins, with countless treants forming and once again launching an encirclement attack on the two.
Zi Yuan was tightly entangled, and Ye Liangchen, whose mobility was poor and who was more of a fierce warrior type, was also held back.
Then, Elder Withered Tree released two more powerful energy attacks. Ye Liangchen only managed to retreat one step after blocking the attack.
In contrast, Zi Yuan was directly knocked back several meters, as if she had barely managed to block the attack by expending all her strength.
Seeing this, he turned his head and was momentarily stunned.
No, are you kidding me?!
Ye Liangchen was somewhat incredulous, but he had no time to think, as Elder Withered Tree's attacks came one after another.
What Bai Cheng saw next was either Ye Liangchen being pushed back or Zi Yuan being sent flying.
In short, the two War General-level fighters were completely at a disadvantage while besieging this Station BOSS.
Both sides seemed to be fighting with all their might, yet they appeared utterly unable to defeat the enemy before them.
Time dragged on and on, with Ye Liangchen and Zi Yuan still circling Elder Withered Tree.
Both sides clearly showed a great disadvantage, yet the Station BOSS just couldn't defeat them.
"The Infinite Train's Best Actor Award definitely goes to you!"
