Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Upon hearing this, the three of them turned extremely terrified, staring intently at Xiaoyun with almost pleading eyes.

No...no!

Lu Xingyuan knew, of course, that it was rather cruel to make such a decision for a little girl.

But this is a chaotic world where human life is cheaper than grass.

You must have the courage to face cruelty in order to survive.

Not to mention that Xiaoyun also has a mother who needs her protection.

She had to take this step, otherwise, even if she were saved today, it would be meaningless.

Lu Xingyuan knew very well that he was just a passerby in the other person's life.

There may never be any chance of meeting again after that.

He can only protect the other party for a while, not for a lifetime.

She has to rely on herself for the rest of the journey.

Xiao Yun fell into a brief silence. Her breathing became rapid, and it was clear that she had not expected that the lives of this family of three were entirely in her hands.

Xiaoyun's mother hesitated to speak, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

She knew this was Lu Xingyuan's good intention, so she couldn't be the kind mother who caused the trouble.

"They... could indeed be monsters in disguise."

Xiao Yun'er paused briefly, but still finished speaking.

All the things that had happened in the past kept flashing through her mind.

Ever since the father passed away, the three of them have been finding all sorts of ways to bully them.

Furthermore, under their repeated instigation and rampant encouragement, the emaciated elder brother was deceived into going to the battlefield, where he ultimately lost his life.

What's most despicable is that they even had their eyes on the elder brother's pension, and were willing to try to anger their mother to death, and even wanted to sell themselves to that perverted Master Zhao.

Would you call someone like that a relative?

Do not!

They are monsters in disguise!

Otherwise, they couldn't possibly be so greedy and ruthless!

The three people, who had been looking hopeful, turned deathly pale upon hearing Xiaoyun'er's words.

Auntie, in particular, made a move as if to rush forward and grab Xiaoyun'er by the neck.

"You brat!"

"How cruel you are!"

The young man reacted quickly, kicking the aunt away and then drawing his sword, intending to finish her off.

"Let her do it."

Lu Xingyuan stopped him.

Xiao Yun'er took the knife from Lu Xingyuan and stepped forward with trembling hands.

She was only ten years old.

This is definitely a huge challenge for her.

But when she drew her sword, she felt completely at peace, without the slightest fear, and even felt a sense of relief as if she had avenged her great grudge!

One, two, three!

The knife fell swiftly and without hesitation, surprising even Lu Xingyuan.

The matter concerning my aunt has now come to an end.

The young adult formally introduced himself to Lu Xingyuan:

"Senior, my surname is Wen, and my name is Shaoqing."

"The monsters wreaking havoc here are too ferocious. I'm afraid my demon-slaying guards alone are not enough to quell them. So I would like to invite you to join me."

"As a token of my gratitude, I am willing to bestow this ancestral heirloom upon my predecessor!"

That was a level 5 treasure chest with its own key!

As everyone knows, only the train conductor can open the treasure chest.

Even if the natives in the train world have both the treasure chest and the key, they still cannot open it.

The ancestral artifact in Wen Shaoqing's possession was indeed less valuable than scrap metal in his hands, so handing it over to me was undoubtedly a wise choice.

"it is good."

Lu Xingyuan nodded in agreement.

It's not just for this level 5 treasure chest.

They also want to protect the village right now.

According to Wen Shaoqing, if the monsters causing trouble in the mountains and fields are not quelled, they will further devour the village and gradually spread to the entire village, at which point the entire village will become a living hell!

"I want to go too!"

Xiao Yun'er suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed intently on Lu Xingyuan:

"I want to see just how amazing this big brother is."

Back in the mountains, Lu Xingyuan demonstrated what superb slaughtering skills truly were.

He alone could rival a million soldiers, his ice crystal spears blasting out relentlessly, turning swathes of monsters into ice shards that vanished with the wind.

When facing monsters whose strength had reached level four, Lu Xingyuan switched directly to Gangqie to hone his control over the ultimate technique "Void".

The knife leaves no trace.

The monster died instantly.

Wen Shaoqing, who was watching this scene from afar, was completely stunned.

He knew Lu Xingyuan was very strong, but wasn't he a little too strong?

Similarly, the demon-slaying guards behind them were also in the same situation.

"This senior is too strong!"

"That was a level four monster! You took it down in one hit?!"

"That's incredible! Absolutely incredible! I want to have his babies!"

Wen Shaoqing thought the same thing.

If I were a girl, I would definitely marry Brother Lu and give him a whole bunch of kids.

Xiao Yun'er, standing to the side, didn't have the same exaggerated expression as them; instead, her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lu Xingyuan.

In her view, Lu Xingyuan was meant to be this powerful.

The monsters that would normally take three days and three nights to exorcise and at a high cost of casualties were all dealt with in the time it takes to eat a meal, thanks to Lu Xingyuan's help.

Even Wen Shaoqing and the others didn't have a chance to make a move.

Lu Xingyuan didn't even leave any fish that slipped through the net!

"Big brother, I also have a favor to ask!"

Suddenly, Xiaoyun'er mustered up her courage and took out a coin from her waist.

This is the train coin.

"This was left to me by my elder brother. I would like to use it as payment to ask you to teach me swordsmanship."

Wen Shaoqing's expression changed drastically:

"No, that request is rather impolite."

But Lu Xingyuan accepted the train coin:

"Do you really want to learn?"

"think!"

The little girl nodded vigorously:

"Instead of relying on powerful people to protect me, I'd rather become powerful myself."

Wen Shaoqing exclaimed, "At such a young age, he already understands the principle that it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"I'll teach you, but my time is limited. How much you understand depends on yourself."

Lu Xingyuan checked the time; it was almost time to depart.

But he has an anchor pocket watch.

Even if the train has departed and is traveling on the tracks, he can use this item to return to the train, so there's no need to worry too much.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Looking at the rather adorable little Yun'er, Lu Xingyuan fell into deep thought.

This guy... is he a genius?

Wen Shaoqing, who was standing nearby, also realized this.

He tried to learn a thing or two, but he couldn't grasp the essentials at all.

"Big brother, I want to learn your move that kills monsters in one go."

Xiaoyun'er was referring to the profound meaning of "emptiness."

"I think that's amazing."

That must be amazing.

"Okay, I'll teach you."

In fact, Lu Xingyuan wasn't sure if he could teach it.

After all, this is an ultimate technique.
