201 Chapter - Five Days Later
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
During these five days, the trio's daily routines were exceptionally regular.
They spent a full 12 hours each night killing venomous snakes to gain experience points, then four hours after dawn copying and upgrading various items, and finally, sleeping.
Although the experience points gained from killing snakes were very few, Bai Cheng still managed to level up one and a half times.
As for Leng Ningxue and Yu Nian, because the experience points required for their level-ups were relatively low, they advanced nearly three levels.
Of course, by upgrading items and copying various elemental weapons to sell, the trio also accumulated a considerable amount of magic crystal reserves, but they had not yet used them.
That evening, Bai Cheng and the others originally planned to continue repeating the previous days' routine to become as strong as possible.
They were eating dinner, or more accurately, breakfast.
Lan Xiaoyu from the front of the train suddenly came to report: "Misses, multiple Survivors have appeared within a hundred-mile radius, and our train is slowly approaching them."
After the second week's activity update, the detection platform had been strengthened.
Its range had directly expanded tenfold from the previous ten-kilometer radius, and the leader's train would also be highlighted.
More importantly, a pursuit function was added, meaning each leader could actively choose to hunt down the closest other leader.
The trio didn't even stop eating, seemingly not putting those guys in their eyes at all.
Bai Cheng, however, reacted: "It must be because we've been grinding experience every night; these leaders, traveling day and night, have now caught up to our journey."
After all, at the current speed of the train, if it traveled non-stop day and night, almost no other leader would be able to catch up to them.
"Finally, someone is coming to hunt us down. We don't even have a single slot yet," Yu Nian said with some delight, turning back and saying, "Let's deal with all of them."
"Yes," Lan Xiaoyu responded, then turned and left.
Leng Ningxue, across from her, also reminded: "We're less than a thousand kilometers from Station #5 now; we'll arrive tomorrow. We need to hurry and complete the entry requirements."
Bai Cheng nodded: "Hmm, then let's just deal with all the slots tonight."
Upon hearing that she wouldn't have to bore herself with grinding experience anymore, Yu Nian immediately became excited: "Yay!"
"It's a good chance to see what the current strength of the leaders is like."
Although Silent Night had already descended, the trio's vehicle did not slow down but continued to travel.
The anomaly of ten thousand snakes surrounding them was replaced by a sea of Demon Swamp Insect Sea, and the crackling sound of rain sounded like raindrops.
The trio successively arrived at the front of the train, and Bai Cheng looked at the map on the detection platform.
Sure enough, within its range, there were five other leaders around, but not all of them were approaching their location.
Observing carefully, Bai Cheng quickly discovered that these individuals' pursuit targets were all different, with only two trains heading directly towards them.
"We have to go out and fight in such a disgusting anomaly?" Bai Cheng frowned, feeling a sense of torment.
"Slow down..."
Bai Cheng began, otherwise it would take more time just relying on the pursuit of the two leaders behind them, but she immediately changed her mind before finishing her sentence.
"Forget it, just stop the train."
Screech—
Sparks flashed brilliantly as the tracks rubbed, and the entire train immediately began to decelerate.
During this process, all the lights on the train also went out, and the surroundings plunged into complete darkness.
The insect sea quietly receded, replaced by venomous snakes slowly crawling out of the ground.
But in comparison, these venomous snakes were much more amicable.
Seeing Bai Cheng's train slow down, the two pursuing leaders also decelerated in sync.
In the darkness, Bai Cheng summoned all her employees and ordered: "Chi Yan, Qing Niao, you two go eliminate the other three leaders!"
If they killed each other off, wouldn't that mean wasting travel time to pursue them?
So Bai Cheng simply acted at the same time, dealing with all five leaders within a hundred-mile radius at once.
Soon, the two pursuing trains both stopped not far from Bai Cheng's train.
However, they didn't immediately pursue her; instead, the two sides started fighting each other first.
Bai Cheng was a bit speechless: "Seriously, are they looking down on me?"
She couldn't let those two guys decide a winner first.
"Zi Yuan, Lü Duo!"
The two employees immediately set off, while Bai Cheng and the other two also went to the roof of the train to observe the battle.
The employees of those two were a tiger and a brown bear respectively; of course, these were just characteristic comparisons, they were actually demonic beasts.
Lan Xiaoyu, who was on guard nearby, had already put on the black mechanical-style goggles on her forehead.
She said: "Miss, that bald leader is War General-level, and his demonic bear employee is also stronger."
The trio was somewhat surprised by this.
"There shouldn't be many leaders who have completed the second promotion task, right? I didn't expect us to encounter one on our first try."
Indeed, after the battle began, the demonic tiger employee was immediately suppressed.
Realizing that he was no match for the opponent, his leader immediately ordered the other employees and crew members on the train, hoping to seize the opportunity to kill the bald man.
Killing the leader would also secure victory; the effect was the same.
But who knew that the bald man suddenly erupted with his own aura, countless blue and white lightning bolts illuminating the surrounding night, instantly killing those people.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the leader immediately wanted to run, but suddenly an arrow, striking from the darkness, directly pierced his head.
After dealing with one of them, Zi Yuan and Lü Duo immediately attacked the bald man in front of them together.
Both employees were at War General Six-stage, one stage higher than that bear, not to mention they themselves were Immortal-level employees.
But just as Bai Cheng thought this would be an easy, instant-kill battle, the bald man still had a trump card.
He shouted: "Sacrifice!"
Seemingly activating his talent, the severely injured bear employee was immediately devoured, including the other ordinary employees.
At this moment, the lightning flashing around the bald man intensified. Both his pupils constantly flickered with white light.
His body also began to change, his limbs became thicker, and he even grew white fur.
Then the bald man slowly floated in mid-air, lightning exploding all around him, and he roared with anger.
"I am the storm!"
"Shatter the darkness with ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) lightning!"
After a shout, he directly attacked Zi Yuan, who was closest to him.
But the next second, countless thorns shot out from the dense jungle around, accurately binding him.
Sharp thorns pierced his skin, slowly injecting venom.
He struggled fiercely, trying to break the thorns with the power of lightning, but then an invisible energy completely enveloped them, making them even tougher.
It was Huang Yu's assistance.
The opponent was still roaring, and at this moment, Zi Yuan had already leaped up, gathering strength for a strike, and slashed down from mid-air!
