A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

However, before the schoolgirl could get close, black energy surged on the melted iron gate, and it instantly returned to its original state.

The student girl stopped in her tracks, unsure of what to do.

Obviously, it's impossible to allow them to exploit any loopholes.

Or, to put it another way, the conditions for passing the game might be the same for everyone, but you have to do it yourself, and the conditions for passing the game might also be different for everyone.

……

After passing through the iron gate, Zhou An saw a long, narrow corridor. The corridor was dimly lit, and he could barely see the entrance to carriage number 2 at the end of the corridor.

At the entrance, however, there were still hundreds of strange figures standing there.

Clearly, these weird players cleared their initial carriage number 1 much faster than him.

When Zhou An appeared, all the strange gazes turned to him.

Zhou An could see that these strange faces were all extremely ferocious, and each one exuded a strong eerie aura.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect there would be human players this time."

"The speed wasn't slow, but did they wipe out all the human players in the carriage?"

"It's only at the first level. Unless those human players are all new players, they're probably just lucky to have found the pass tokens."

The group of eerie creatures talked amongst themselves, their eyes revealing undisguised malice.

Looking at all these strange things, Zhou An felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was eager to try them out, his eyes filled with excitement.

His Horse Charm + Dragon Charm is like a mobile turret in Infinite Firepower.

He was calculating how long it would take to eradicate these strange creatures.

"This human is interesting. Not only is he not afraid, but he seems eager to try his luck with us. Is he confident that he can kill us?" A tall, eerie figure revealed an amused expression.

The other strange creatures, seeing this, also sneered.

However, Zhou An ultimately held back.

Except for the initial carriage number 1, where fighting is not prohibited, killing is prohibited in all other carriages, including this waiting area.

He didn't want to use the horse charm to break the rules of this survival train.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

During this time, strange figures kept entering the corridor and arriving at this waiting area.

Half an hour later, the middle-aged man, the short-haired woman, and the schoolgirl, all human players, also cleared carriage number 1.

When they arrived at the waiting area and saw the nearly one thousand eerie figures, they were all terrified and turned pale.

They were all veteran players and had seen their share of the bizarre, but when had they ever seen so many strange things?

However, when they saw Zhou An, their eyes lit up.

They rushed to Zhou An's side as if grasping at a straw.

However, they didn't dare get too close, keeping a distance of about five meters.

Zhou An, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, looked up at them, then closed them again and remained silent.

The man in the suit didn't come; he had obviously failed the mission and been eliminated.

When they arrived an hour later, everyone heard a notification sound.

[All players who have cleared Carriage 1 have gathered and are about to enter Carriage 2!]

[Note: Fighting between players of the same faction is prohibited in carriage 2. Human players and monster players have completely different completion conditions and can attack each other!]

"It's finally starting, humans. I hope you can be assigned to the same train carriage as me." Gundam's eerie face was filled with greed as he looked at Zhou An and his group.

Human blood is a deadly attraction for them.

Zhou An didn't even glance at the strange thing; he simply stood up and quietly waited to enter the carriage.

The next instant, the gate in front slowly opened, and a number of strange creatures entered one after another.

Chapter 61, Carriage 2: A Bloodbath

Carriage 2 was like a library, three times the size of carriage 1.

Tall black bookshelves lined both sides, holding some old, unnamed books.

The covers of these books are covered with eerie patterns, and you can feel a terrifying chill from them.

The aisles between the bookshelves are narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

The originally dim yellow light turned into a dark green, making the light even dimmer.

With each step Zhou An took, he could faintly hear the rustling sound of books turning pages.

In the center of the carriage, there is a raised platform with two books suspended above it.

Those emitting blue light are exclusively human, while those emitting black light are exclusively the supernatural.

Zhou An and his group of four were standing in front of the blue book.

Its fluorescent glow gives people a strong sense of security.

Looking at the black book, there were sixteen strange figures, also shrouded in black light.

Around the high platform, there are twelve strange stone statues, all human-shaped, faceless, and holding a book in their hands.

[Human Completion Requirements]:

1. Find four different strange symbols in the books on the bookshelf and enter them into the blue book.

2. Defeat the three eerie stone statues, which are immune to physical attacks.

3. Protect the blue book from damage until the level completion conditions are met.

[Strange Completion Conditions]:

1. Find sixteen identical eerie symbols and input them into the black book.

2. Destroy the blue book.

3. Kill at least one human.

The conditions for passing the level appeared on both the blue and black books, and they could be seen by the other party.

"We've actually been assigned to the same carriage as humans, haha, that's great." The tall, eerie creature grinned as it looked at Zhou An.

His aura was powerful, definitely at the fourth-tier level of the Strange Realm. He was sure to be one of the people to kill.

But the other strange creatures panicked.

"Damn it, we have sixteen monsters and only four human players. Even if each of us kills one, we'll still have to eliminate 12."

"Damn it, I hate playing this survival train game with humans the most."

"Never mind, let's control the eerie statue first and break the blue book." One of the eerie creatures leaped off the platform and landed directly in front of an eerie statue.

Then, a strange touch was made behind the stone statue, and it miraculously merged into it.

The next second, the faceless stone statue began to reveal its face, which was the same strange appearance as before.

Seeing this, the other strange creatures also rushed towards the stone statues, hoping to have a chance to control them.

"Damn it, get out here!" One of the strange creatures, having failed to snatch the statue, raised his hand and slammed it down on the statue.

However, the stone statue remained completely still.

"Get out of my way! If the stone statue's attacks weren't ineffective against you, I would have crushed you to death." A strange and vicious voice came from inside the stone statue.

Then, the twelve strange stone statues slowly walked towards the blue book.

They walked very slowly, and each step required a great deal of effort.

It would take at least ten minutes to get up to the platform and stand in front of the blue book.

The tall, eerie creature did not fight over it. Instead, it looked at the strange stone statues that had already been occupied and a mocking expression appeared on its face.

"What a bunch of idiots. Let me move the statue first. Once I find all the symbols, that's when I'll start my massacre."

The tall, eerie figure looked towards the human camp and said, "Humans, if you don't want to die, then never leave the area within the light barrier."

The tall, eerie figure left these words, turned and walked down from the platform, then began searching for strange runes on the bookshelves.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An's lips curled into a slight smile.

Finally, the time has come for us to unleash our killing spree.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over, we're doomed."

"This...this is too unfriendly to us human players. The monsters are blocking the door directly, we are doomed."

"Judging from the situation, the book can only be attacked by the strange statue. The strange can control the statue, so we should be able to. But we're already too slow; this is a dead end."

All three of them looked like the sky had fallen.

Seeing this, Zhou An glanced at the three of them and said, "You're very lucky to have met me. You can win without lifting a finger in carriage number 2."

Upon hearing this, the three of them froze on the spot, looking at Zhou An with some confusion.

Zhou An withdrew his gaze and did not continue to explain.

He slowly stepped out of the blue light barrier.

This scene caused the pupils of the three middle-aged men to contract sharply.

This person is truly brave; facing so many strange things, he actually dared to step out of the blue light barrier.

Although they all knew that Zhou An possessed extremely powerful attack capabilities, they couldn't possibly exhaust them indefinitely.

"It's out! This human actually came out!" One of the elves who failed to snatch the statue was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he lunged at Zhou An.

Zhou An, a cold smile playing on his lips, raised his hand, and a ball of crimson light gathered.

The next instant, the fireball was launched.

A loud "BOOM!"

The strange creature that lunged at them didn't scream at all; it was instantly reduced to ashes by the powerful fireball.
