Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Climbing the stairs, Teemo soon arrived at a giant library completely engulfed by vines.

What was once a temple of knowledge has now become the belly of a green behemoth. The order of civilization has been utterly shattered by the savage force of life. Reason teeters on the brink of collapse amidst the wildly growing vines.

The air was filled with the musty smell of old leaves, the astringent smell of plant branches and leaves, and a faint sweet fragrance.

Teemo immediately locked onto the monster's main body.

All the vines are derived from it.

[The Queen Mother of Thorns and Vines]

[Level: 5]

[Description: The ruler of the creeping library, its root system is integrated with the entire library, and the thorns scattered throughout are its hands, feet, and senses. The vines can suddenly burst forth and coil, and the barbed stems can easily pierce flesh and suck blood; at the same time, it continuously releases hallucinogenic spores, causing its prey to lose their way through blood loss and hallucinations, until they are dragged deep into the roots and completely devoured.]

The dark green vines were already creepy enough, but compared to the mother tree, they were nothing more than scattered nerve endings.

The mother stump was entirely a corrosive blackish-gray that swallowed light, and its surface was perpetually covered with a layer of viscous, oil-like gel that slowly dripped down the stump, pulling out sticky threads.

The black oil is not a dead substance; it undulates slightly with the breathing rhythm of the mother plant, sometimes bulging with festering bubbles, which release a wisp of sweet, rotten spores when they burst.

The entire mother stump stood there, like a half-melted remains of a giant beast, embracing every vine that wrapped around it with that viscous black membrane—as if kissing its offspring, or slowly digesting them back into its body.

Teemo was initially terrified, but then made a decisive choice, switching to Protocol Raven form. The sword and shield attached to his hand instantly combined into a nimble sniper rifle.

He pulled the trigger and fired repeatedly at the Vine Queen.

The moment the dark blue patterns lit up on the gun, the poisoned arrow, enveloped in a rapidly spinning vortex, shot through the air with a sharp whistle.

The wildly growing vines, like the most loyal guards, shielded the Queen Mother with their bodies, catching each poisoned arrow.

The vines intertwined to form a dense, impenetrable net, creating one sturdy shield after another.

At the same time, hundreds more vines swirled rapidly from all directions, transforming into a sky full of drills, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, and fiercely drilled down on Timo.

Teemo switched back to his sword and shield form, cut down the nearest vines, quickly created distance, and then switched back to his siege form.

A railgun with an industrial aesthetic was attached to his left hand. Teemo squinted, locked onto the Queen, and then... fired!

Collapsing mushroom!

boom!

boom!

boom!

Three in a row!

The mushroom accurately hit the vine queen hundreds of meters away, and then exploded with a bang!

The terrifying gravity pulled all the surrounding vines into the center.

Immediately, a cloud of highly toxic spores erupted!

Even a plant-type monster like the Vine Queen would find it difficult to resist the burst of this toxin!

It even let out a faint wail, and the massive mother tree began to tremble wildly, while the millions of vines that extended out began to twist violently!

The library began to collapse continuously, with rubble falling and kicking up countless plumes of dust. Scattered, yellowed pages were swept up and sent flying, carrying with them countless fine dust particles.

Teemo covered his mouth and nose and dodged quickly.

After the smoke and dust cleared, he saw that the mother tree had completely withered and died!

A dark green treasure chest lay quietly in the center of the withered mother tree stump.

"That's... a level 5 treasure chest!"

Teemo excitedly rushed forward.

"Great! I soloed this platform all by myself, the boss will definitely praise me!"

"In that case, I can say that I have lived up to my role as the boss's right-hand man."

He reached out and hugged the treasure chest, but the texture was strange—it was soft, like hugging a lump of flesh.

He squeezed it harder, and the soft touch felt even more real.

Why does the treasure chest feel like this?

He rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and was immediately terrified – what he was holding in his hands was not a treasure chest at all, but Lu Xingyuan's head!

"Wake up!"

Lu Xingyuan's voice gradually became clearer.

Timo opened his eyes in a daze.

"Where...am I?"

Still in the library.

However, the scene was different from what he had just seen. The mother tree had not withered; instead, after being injured, it secreted more black sap and became even wilder, its branches roaring and flailing wildly, stretching across their path, blocking out the sky like a sky full of venomous snakes.

Timo's scalp tingled instantly, and she instinctively wanted to burrow into Lu Xingyuan's arms, but she quickly realized something and hurriedly reached out to protect Lu Xingyuan.

"Don't be afraid, boss, it was just a nightmare. I've already destroyed that vine queen!"

Lu Xingyuan pinched his cheek just as he had pinched his own.

"You inhaled hallucinogenic spores; what you just saw was merely a hallucination created in your mind."

"What?!"

Teemo was shocked, only then realizing that the Vine Queen did indeed seem to possess hallucinogenic abilities.

"So, it turns out I wasn't able to solo this station and lighten the boss's load after all?"

He couldn't help but feel ashamed!

"Boss, the rest is up to you! I'll help you deal with any vines that try to get close to you!"

But Teemo quickly recovered from his negative emotions. He realized his limitations. The plant-type monsters were similar to the attributes of his skills, which was why the effects of his skills on the monsters were greatly reduced.

This wasn't a problem with his ability; it was just that he was being restrained.

"it is good."

Lu Xingyuan nodded and then activated his skill: Elemental Resonance!

Fire, ice, thunder, and wind!

Of these four basic elements, fire is undoubtedly the most effective at countering the Vine Queen.

A flash of fire, and tens of thousands of vines withered instantly!

The mother vine was severely damaged, turning charred black and emitting a faint burnt plant aroma. Thick liquid seeped out of the wounds, and the massive mother vine churned continuously underground, exposing roots thicker than an adult's waist.

Teemo's eyes lit up; this was the Vine Queen's vital point!

He seized the opportunity, immediately switched to his ship-slaying sword, and frantically hacked at the roots!

Alice was about to make a move when Timo stopped her.

"Sister Alice, you really don't need to get involved, do you? If you do, what will become of me and the boss?"

The little girl tilted her head.

"Okay, then."

With just one strike, a simple strike, she could scatter the ashes of the Vine Queen.

The vine queen has a total of 108 roots, each one thicker than the last, like giant veins deeply embedded in the earth, pulsating and swelling underground, greedily and inexhaustibly extracting nutrients, as if sucking the blood of the entire earth.

If all 108 roots are severed, the Queen Mother will surely die!
