63 Chapter - Leaving The Train For The First Time
Bai Cheng was stunned.
She could understand Zi Yuan's words, but she simply hadn't expected that this trophy mission would actually make her leave the train?
"There's a seal at the entrance, so it seems only a survivor can unlock it."
She frowned, her gaze directed towards the dark, raging, severe snow mountain outside the door.
Although the train's safety could be guaranteed, and Bai Cheng was not afraid of the cold air's erosion, it was just that...
Since transmigrating to this train world, Bai Cheng could say she had never left her train.
Of course, moving around the train couldn't be counted as leaving.
From the time Zi Yuan went to find the mission location until she returned, Bai Cheng could easily tell that the cave entrance was actually not close to the train.
However, she barely hesitated at all; since things had come to this, how could there be any talk of retreating?
Even if it was the more dangerous Silent Night at this moment.
"Where exactly is the cave entrance? How far is it from the train?" Bai Cheng immediately asked for details.
Zi Yuan looked back at the dark snow mountain, determined a general direction, and then explained, "Miss, that cave is on the ridge of the highest snow mountain, at the eleven o'clock direction."
"But the snow mountain terrain is steep, and you might encounter demonic beasts on the way. Zi Yuan suggests that it would be better for you to go during the day, Miss."
The main reason was that visibility was obstructed at night, and she also had to climb a mountain; the threat from demonic beasts was actually the least of her worries.
But Bai Cheng did not heed Zi Yuan's suggestion; she didn't want to leave the train parked here, wasting an entire night.
She shook her head and refused, "Zi Yuan, you guard the train. I'll have Scarlet Flame carry me there."
Zi Yuan and Scarlet Flame were both startled; this was indeed a good idea.
Scarlet Flame then transformed into his true form, becoming a giant lion, his four limbs and tail burning with crimson flames, constantly melting the surrounding snow, with waves of heat washing over them.
Zi Yuan also returned the Seeking Tail Ring to Bai Cheng, but her gaze occasionally drifted towards the inside of the carriage, looking as if she had something to say but was hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, it smells so good. Can Zi Yuan have a little, just a tiny bit...?"
Bai Cheng thought it was something serious. She waved her hand and said, "Eat, I made two servings."
As for why it was two servings, Scarlet Flame could just eat raw food.
Before setting off, Bai Cheng also made thorough preparations.
She brought a backpack, a flashlight, and the Blade of Certain Death and the Blade of Severance.
If it weren't for the fact that these two legendary weapons were bound and couldn't be given to employees to use, then most of the troubles for her could have been easily resolved.
Scarlet Flame outside the door lowered his body, and Bai Cheng stood at the entrance, leaping onto his back.
His broad back was furry, and those crimson manes penetrated Bai Cheng's clothes, sending a wave of heat, but she didn't feel hot; instead, it was very comfortable.
Bai Cheng tightly gripped Scarlet Flame's mane, then commanded, "Let's go!"
Then, Scarlet Flame's four limbs suddenly exerted force, carrying Bai Cheng quickly into the darkness before them.
The scenery on both sides rapidly receded; at this moment, only the whistling wind remained in her ears.
The blizzard continuously struck her body, icy and bone-chilling. Bai Cheng could only lean forward, pressing tightly against Scarlet Flame's back.
She wanted to observe the surrounding scenery, but the darkness coupled with the harsh environment had already made her lose her way.
However, Bai Cheng was not flustered; instead, she subtly revealed a hint of excitement.
Because from the moment she left the train, she truly felt that this was an incredibly real world, not just a survival game of shrinking inside the train to survive and develop.
Bai Cheng looked at the compass on her watch and quickly determined the direction with the help of the Seeking Tail Ring's prompt.
The snow mountain towered into the clouds, covered in snow and gravel, extremely steep.
This level, while not an obstacle for demonic beasts, would be as difficult as ascending to heaven if Bai Cheng wanted to climb it.
That's why she didn't let Zi Yuan take her along, but chose Scarlet Flame instead.
Although Scarlet Flame, in his lion form, was extraordinarily large, he still retained the flexible body characteristics of a feline.
Of course, the most important thing was that he could effortlessly carry Bai Cheng along the way.
Upon reaching the foot of the snow mountain, Scarlet Flame barely paused. His massive body leaped, constantly traversing and maneuvering between the mountain ridges, and in just a few breaths, he had already arrived in front of the cave entrance.
Bai Cheng turned on her flashlight and shone it forward, and also smoothly jumped off Scarlet Flame's back.
The light swept across, revealing a huge circular cave entrance in front, nearly three meters in both length and width, with a lifelike half ice-blue dragon head carved into its top.
And on the upper and lower sides of the cave entrance, there were four ice cones, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, extending in corresponding directions, looking like the fangs revealed by the ice dragon's open mouth.
"Is this the Ice-Sealed Cave?" Bai Cheng couldn't help but curiously examine it.
However, the moment the flashlight's beam hit the cave entrance, it was swallowed, and only a pitch-black expanse remained inside; she couldn't see anything.
Scarlet Flame beside her also transformed into human form and actively stepped forward to investigate, but after a moment, he frowned.
"Miss, this cave entrance, your subordinate and Zi Yuan truly cannot enter alone, and there's no abnormal aura felt within either."
After speaking, Scarlet Flame even reached out to touch it, actively demonstrating, but before his arm could get close to the cave entrance, it first touched an invisible barrier.
Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened, and then she nodded, "So this is the so-called seal."
However, she was more curious about how she was supposed to break the seal at the cave entrance. Was it by relying on the system's Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) certification?
She began to move slowly forward, raising her arm to try and touch the cave entrance, guessing that it should pop up some kind of prompt.
However, not only was there no prompt, but Bai Cheng's steps as she explored forward didn't even have the slightest abnormality.
All that was there was the Seeking Tail Ring on her hand, which continuously emitted blue light in the darkness, somewhat dazzling and burning hot.
Bai Cheng continued forward. At this point, almost half of her body was already inside the cave, swallowed by the darkness.
But she still hadn't touched that barrier.
"No, where's the seal?"
But no sooner had Bai Cheng finished speaking than her entire body was instantly swallowed, completely disappearing from outside the cave entrance on the mountain ridge.
Scarlet Flame was instantly greatly alarmed at the sight: "Miss!"
After saying that, he also unhesitatingly rushed into the cave entrance, only this time {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} there was no longer any obstruction.
