The Mysterious Dungeon: A Survival Guide to the Twelve Talismans

Number of participants: 5

While Zhou An was in a state of confusion, he heard a notification sound.

Zhou An immediately regained consciousness.

He found himself lying on the ground and immediately got up.

There were four other people nearby, two men and two women, all of whom were young, between 20 and 30 years old.

They were still unconscious, and Zhou An ignored them, instead surveying his surroundings.

This looks like an old train carriage.

Dozens of seats were empty, except for the five of them lying on the floor.

It was pitch black outside the car window, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

There was even an iron door at the junction of the passageway in front.

Yes, a rusty iron door with some red bloodstains.

"Survival train game?" Zhou An pondered, stroking his chin.

[Host detected entering the instance. Draw a talisman?]

“Extract,” Zhou Anmo murmured.

[Talisman drawing in progress... Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Dragon Talisman]

【Dragon Talisman】: In its normal state, it can fire powerful fireballs, producing violent explosions and flames. When enraged, its power doubles. It has a fixed lower limit. The stronger the user, the more powerful it will be. Casting fireballs will consume the user's stamina.

"Dragon Talisman? This... Take off, take off directly." Zhou An was extremely excited.

This is the Dragon Talisman, the Holy Lord's personal talisman. It can unleash powerful fireballs with a mere wave of the hand.

Furthermore, when enraged, its power doubles.

As for the matter of expending his own physical strength, Zhou An didn't care at all.

With the Arima Talisman active, stamina can be replenished directly when depleted, allowing for continuous firing of Fireballs.

From now on, Zhou An will become a mobile turret, the kind that has no cooldown and no consumption.

However, Zhou An is not yet clear about the power of the Flame Burst Bomb; he will have to test it when he has the chance.

[Do you have dragon talismans installed?]

Another notification sounded in my mind.

"Yes." Zhou An immediately began preparing.

In the next instant, a white light flashed and landed on Zhou An's chest, transforming into a dragon talisman rune.

The runes quickly disappeared into Zhou An's body.

Zhou An immediately sensed a surge of power emanating from his body, a power that radiated intense heat and flowed through his limbs and bones.

Although the temperature was scorching, it did not cause Zhou An any discomfort.

With just a thought, the Flame Blast can be launched from the palm of one's hand.

Zhou An immediately opened his attribute panel.

At this moment, the four people also woke up one after another.

They didn't shout or yell, nor did they show any excitement; instead, they were all very calm.

Needless to say, these are all veteran players; there are no newcomers this time.

“A five-player dungeon, it seems the difficulty won’t be too high this time,” a middle-aged man said slowly.

The man in the suit loosened his tie: "The number of people doesn't have much to do with the difficulty of the dungeon. Hopefully, we can clear it smoothly this time."

"Survival train, that sounds creepy. Sigh, I hope I don't die here." A short-haired girl sighed.

The other female student remained silent, simply observing her surroundings.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~~!"

Just then, the rusty iron gate slowly opened to one side.

Then a figure slowly walked out from inside.

This person was very thin, with pale skin and delicate features. He was wearing a tight-fitting uniform from the train, which gave him a unique charm.

The eerie aura was terrifying; just considering the fluctuations of that ghostly power alone, it was at the third level of eeriness.

In an instant, everyone became wary, except for Zhou An, who stared blankly at the strange figure.

Zhou An was even somewhat eager to try it out; he couldn't wait to unleash a Flame Blast to test the strength of the third-tier strange power.

"Are you the humans participating in this survival game?" The flight attendant looked down at the group with a hint of indifference in her eyes.

"Not bad." The man in the suit nodded.

"I'll only say the rules once. Anyone who breaks them dies!" the flight attendant said coldly.

The next instant, a notification sound rang in everyone's ears.

Survival Train Game Rules

1. Players are divided into human players and weird players.

2. Each player will start from carriage 1. Each time they successfully complete a level, they will be promoted to carriage 2. Those who fail will be eliminated.

3. In the initial carriage 1, players can fight each other. Once they advance to carriage 2 or above, players will be restricted from fighting each other.

3. Each time you clear a level, you accumulate a bonus pool. When you clear Carriage 3, you can choose to claim your reward and leave the survival train, or you can continue to accumulate bonus pools to clear levels.

4. The rules and gameplay are different in each train carriage, please explore them on your own.

"I hope you don't die too soon." After saying this, the flight attendant turned and left.

The iron door closed again, and a brief silence fell over the carriage.

Then the man in the suit broke the silence, his eyes sweeping over everyone with a sinister look: "I didn't expect that this time I would be surviving and clearing the game with the weirdo."

"This is a survival game where the strong prey on the weak. You all seem to be at level one, right? I'm level 25, the strongest."

"If you don't want to die, you'd better listen to me, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward: "Brother is right, we will listen to you. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do."

Upon hearing this, the short-haired woman frowned, quietly took a step back, and looked wary.

The female student was hiding in a corner with her head down, looking as if she was very scared, but she was glancing at everyone out of the corner of her eye.

However, her gaze was mainly fixed on Zhou An, and she noticed the occasional glint of light on Zhou An's palm.

Zhou An stood in the center of the carriage, saying nothing, but his cold gaze swept over the four people.

The man in the suit looked at Zhou An: "Kid, you're pretty good at pretending, but in front of me, you're no match for me."

The next instant, the man in the suit stepped forward and punched Zhou An in the face.

Seeing this, Zhou An sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding, and raised his hand to punch the man in the suit in the face.

A scream of agony followed.

Then the barefoot doctor in the suit was sent flying, crashing heavily into the metal wall behind him and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Chapter 60: Forced Door Breakthrough

The man in the suit struggled to his feet, staring at Zhou An with disbelief.

One punch, just one punch, sent this level 25 veteran player flying.

Although he didn't use any props, neither did the other party.

Zhou An warned coldly, "Don't mess with me, or there will only be one outcome: death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou An turned and walked to the corner of the carriage, where he began searching for clues.

The man in the suit stood up, clutching his broken nose, his face filled with resentment.

However, he didn't dare to fight Zhou An again, and simply buried this resentment in his heart.

Seeing that the level 25 man in the suit was knocked away in one move, the middle-aged man immediately had a plan.

He quickly moved closer to Zhou An's side: "B-Big Brother, I want to follow you. I'll do whatever you ask me to do, as long as you take me with you..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Zhou An raised his hand, his palm gathering a scorching fireball.

A loud "Boom!" rang out.

The fireball grazed the middle-aged man's earlobe and slammed into the seat next to him.

A strong heat wave swept through the entire carriage.

Looking at the chair again, it had been completely melted, and a terrifying liquid remained on the ground.

“Take it one step further, and you’ll die!” Zhou An coldly looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he trembled all over and backed away, not daring to approach Zhou An again.

Seeing this, the short-haired woman became extremely vigilant and also listed Zhou An as one of the most dangerous people.

The female student remained in the corner, a hint of horror flashing in her eyes, but she was still plotting something in her mind.

Upon seeing this, the man in the suit's pupils contracted sharply. He buried his resentment deep in his heart, daring not to reveal it in the slightest.

Whether it was due to the force of the attack or Zhou An's control, the maximum power would have likely blown up the entire carriage.

Zhou Anzhen intimidated everyone, then ignored them and focused on searching for clues inside the carriage.

The general rules have been explained clearly, but you need to figure out the specific rules for each carriage on your own.

Zhou An quickly searched the entire carriage, but still found no useful clues.

This made Zhou An frown.

After thinking about it, he decided to stop looking. Since he couldn't find it, he simply destroyed it.

Zhou An arrived at the iron gate, his palms gathering intense heat.

A deafening boom!

A terrifying fireball was unleashed in an instant, slamming directly into the iron gate.

When the firelight died down, it was revealed that a large hole had been melted into the iron gate, big enough for a person to pass through.

[Ding! Player has met the requirements to clear Carriage 1! The prize pool has reached 10,000 yuan! Please proceed to the waiting area and wait for all players who have cleared the level to gather and enter Carriage 2 together!]

Inside the carriage, before they could even react to Zhou An's attack, the notification sound rang in their ears.

Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone, Zhou An walked directly out through the iron gate.

"You...you cleared the level? You forced your way through?" The middle-aged man trembled all over, his face full of disbelief.

Just then, the female student nimbly lunged toward the iron gate.

Clearly, she also wanted to go into the waiting area with Zhou An.
