Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Teleport!

Lu Xingyuan closed his eyes and focused his mind.

The teleportation skill glowed faintly and a map began to form in his mind.

The location of Cai Cai is clearly marked on the map.

He can teleport there anytime he wants.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he canceled the activation of the skill and opened his eyes.

"It's so quiet, it's scary!"

Zhao Nanzhi shrank her neck and looked down at the deep sea, feeling as if a terrifying monster was lurking beneath the surface!

Zhao Liang's expression was also very serious, but he quickly regained his composure, glanced at Zhao Nanzhi, and snorted coldly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Since you've chosen to participate in the dungeon challenge, you should be prepared for that."

"I don't want my teammates to be cowardly and timid, dragging me down."

Zhao Nanzhi forced a smile onto her face.

"All right……"

Suddenly, she noticed something, pointed to the seabed, and exclaimed:

"Treasure chest! There's a treasure chest underwater!"

Xie Liang reacted the most promptly.

"Where!? Where is it!?"

He quickly noticed the shimmering light, plunged into the water, and retrieved the level-two treasure chest, which was enveloped in bubbles and floating.

"Hahaha!"

"It really is a treasure chest!"

"Take it, take it!"

He stuffed the treasure chest directly into his storage item, completely ignoring the expression on Zhao Nanzhi's face, and excitedly continued talking to himself.

"I never expected there to be so many treasure chests underwater. It seems the rewards from this dungeon run will be far more plentiful than I anticipated!"

Immediately afterwards, he instructed Zhao Nanzhi to bestow blessings upon him.

"Didn't you say your talent is a blessing to your teammates? Hurry up, don't waste any more time."

Although Zhao Nanzhi was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to agree.

but……

"Brother Lu, let me bestow my blessing upon you first."

She pulled out a pink fairy wand and chanted ancient, complex, and obscure incantations. Then, she pointed it gently at Lu Xingyuan in front of her, and a ray of golden starlight instantly flowed into Lu Xingyuan's body.

Lu Xingyuan felt his body become much lighter.

"This is the Blessing of the Gale, which increases your speed for one hour."

Zhao Nanzhi glanced at the subtle changes in Lu Xingyuan and immediately made a judgment.

"Can it last for an hour? Your blessing is much more powerful than I imagined."

Lu Xingyuan gave it high praise.

Zhao Nanzhi chuckled, the gloom in her heart vanishing instantly.

Xie Liang, however, seemed somewhat displeased.

In his view, the blessing should have been given to him first, not to the number two player in the team.

However, he was too lazy to argue and appear petty, so he simply told Lu Xingyuan to perform well and not to hold the team back.

Lu Xingyuan didn't say anything and plunged headfirst into the sea.

Arriving at the bottom of the sea, he felt as if he had returned home, experiencing a strange sense of familiarity.

This is the change that the deep-water affinity drug brought to him.

He not only fully adapted to the underwater environment, but also no longer needed to breathe.

Furthermore, the underwater sensory experience is magnified a hundredfold, allowing you to see through murky seawater thousands of meters deep.

Most importantly, he moves five times faster in water than on land, and can burst into supersonic sprints in an instant.

Therefore, he was very fortunate to arrive at a battlefield that suited him in this special dungeon challenge.

"Treasure chest!"

Lu Xingyuan spotted a level-three treasure chest embedded in the reef at a glance, and like a cannonball, he appeared in front of the treasure chest in the blink of an eye.

Xie Liang, who had just completed the blessing, plunged into the sea and witnessed this scene.

Seeing that Lu Xingyuan put the treasure chest into his personal storage item without saying a word, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

Once we get ashore, I'll definitely give this guy from the eleventh district a good talking-to. He's so inconsiderate! The final ranking of the challenge is based on the number of pearls collected, not the number of treasure chests. How can he only think about the treasure chests and completely ignore collecting pearls? This is undoubtedly a selfish act. If he continues like this, don't blame me for being impolite.

"Ordinary white pearls!"

Lu Xingyuan's gaze sharpened, and he quickly spotted a white pearl hidden in the mud not far from the level three treasure chest. This was the objective of this dungeon.

If it weren't for the medication, it would have been really difficult to discover.

The underwater environment is incredibly complex, and the silt is so thick.

Lu Xingyuan picked up the pearl and played with it in his hand for a while.

It is about half the size of a fist, with a hard and round texture. Holding it in your hand feels like holding a block of ice, and it is quite heavy, with one pearl weighing about half a pound.

Lu Xingyuan tried to incorporate it into the dimensional black stockings.

This item is unique to this instance and cannot be stored in your inventory...

A notification popped up.

Lu Xingyuan wanted to exploit a bug to sense the treasure beehive.

After transforming and reorganizing into a treasure honeycomb, it gained a new function: remote access via any mirror or water surface.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

"All right."

Lu Xingyuan now understood why each train conductor was given an old-fashioned net bag; so that's why.

Unable to exploit the bug, Lu Xingyuan could only wait until he had collected enough before diving up and transferring to the raft.

After traveling for a short while, Lu Xingyuan discovered another treasure chest.

It was hidden among lush aquatic plants, covered with moss, almost blending into its environment.

Although it's only level two, it's not bad.

"The spawn rate of these special dungeon chests is ridiculously high!"

At this rate, even if we fail in the pearl collection mission, we'll still be able to eat our fill just by eating these treasure chests.

Just as Lu Xingyuan was about to pick up the treasure chest, a crab with a huge face suddenly attacked, its pincers aimed directly at Lu Xingyuan.

Crab claws are as sharp as knives; one swipe and the entire arm could be severed.

Lu Xingyuan was prepared. He dodged the opponent's sudden sneak attack with a swift movement, and then struck back to end the opponent's life.

This thing is only a level two existence. Even with a thick crab shell, it is no match for Frost Sky, a level seven extraordinary creation. If it can last even a second, Lu Xingyuan would have to praise it as a genius.

"This big crab... should be a good ingredient. Cai Cai might find it useful. Let's keep it."

With a thought, Lu Xingyuan directly put the crab that had been split in two into his dimensional black silk.

This thing is allowed to be stored.

"High-grade blue pearls!"

A peculiar blue light flashed three hundred meters below the surface.

Upon reaching this depth, sunlight could no longer penetrate, the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and the seawater gradually became icy cold.

If someone had poor mental fortitude, they probably would have already broken down.

Lu Xingyuan felt fine, which he thought was probably because he had taken the Deep Water Affinity Potion, so he didn't feel that fear.

As they got closer, the pearl that shimmered with blue light became increasingly clear.

I knew I wasn't mistaken.

Lu Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction, then swung his Frost Sky Blade and unleashed a powerful slash!

Pfft!

The siren, which had been hiding perfectly and attacked suddenly like a poisoned arrow, was instantly cleaved in two and killed on the spot!

Lu Xingyuan picked up the blue pearl and put it in his pocket, then glanced expressionlessly at the sea monster's corpse.

His exceptional underwater senses allowed him to detect the other party's presence long ago.

No matter how well you hide, or how perfectly you time your ambush, it's all in vain.

"But this thing is just too ugly."

Lu Xingyuan muttered something to himself.

The siren in front of me had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.

But it's completely different from the mermaids I imagined.

It was incredibly ugly, with swollen skin that had a sickly bluish-gray tinge, like a corpse that had been soaking for thousands of years.

A gaping maw stretched to the base of its ears, its dense array of sharp teeth intersecting like underwater reefs, each dripping with viscous venom that trailed wisps of white smoke in the azure water.

Its eyes, sunken deep within swollen folds of flesh, gleamed with an inhuman, eerie green light, as if gazing from the abyss.

"He's as ugly as Wang Tianhua. If Zhao Nanzhi saw him, she'd probably pee her pants on the spot..."

Lu Xingyuan thought to himself with a wicked sense of amusement.

He wasn't surprised at all that such a ferocious monster had appeared in the ocean.

If dungeon challenges were really that easy, that would be great.

Besides, that damned chief referee already made it clear enough that participating in the challenge here could cost you your life.

Indeed, don't be fooled by the fact that he killed the siren with a single, effortless strike.

But this ugly thing is a genuine level four monster!

The monsters I encounter are all level four. What does that mean?

This means there's something even more powerful and terrifying coming!
