Train Survival: I Became a White-Haired Hardcore Grinder
Chapter 215: Hunting down Lin Qiuyue
Most of the attacks they charged up landed on the rear of the train, and were easily blocked by the opponent's few employees.
When they came back to their senses, the train had already sped off into the distance right before their eyes.
"Damn it, they actually ran away. How are we going to explain this when we go back?"
"The adult also sacrificed himself. Now there's no one left to take the blame."
The Merfolk Clan war generals looked at each other, somewhat at ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) a loss.
Although they were a race born in the sea, where all their attributes would multiply in water, seeing the terrifying speed at which the opponent's train departed, all the Merfolk knew they had no chance of catching up.
So they all froze in place.
"Just report it as it is. These outsiders can't leave the Nameless Sea for now, so we still have a chance to hunt them down."
"That's all we can do. Let's go back."
With that, these Merfolk Clan war generals were about to return, but the sea surface suddenly exploded, and an extremely terrifying aura instantly erupted.
These airwaves condensed into tangible, invisible blades, instantly sweeping past the Merfolk war generals in the air. In the blink of an eye, they were all decapitated.
"You can't even handle such a small matter, and you still have the nerve to come back!"
The originally calm sea surface, swept by this aura, began to ripple outwards in all directions.
At this moment, Bai Cheng and the others, who were fully accelerating out of the combat zone, also felt a sudden palpitation almost simultaneously.
"This aura..."
"It's Town Guardian Level!" Bai Cheng's voice was incredibly certain, because she had felt the aura of a Goblin Town Guardian Level in Deadwood City, and that suffocatingly powerful pressure was still fresh in her memory.
Upon hearing this, Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Nian said, "Xiao Cheng, your feeling is right. There really is a Town Guardian Level within the Merfolk Clan. If we had escaped any later, we might have..."
Leng Ningxue also said with lingering fear, "And even without that Town Guardian Level, the Merfolk Clan's overall strength completely exceeded our expectations. We absolutely cannot confront them head-on again."
After all, no one could say for sure whether there were even stronger existences than Town Guardian Level within such a race.
"From now on, we need to be careful," Bai Cheng also frowned deeply, her gaze fixed out the window.
At the intersection of sea and sky, the small black dot there had disappeared at some unknown point.
Meanwhile, on Lin Qiuyue's train.
When the Merfolk Clan war generals besieged Bai Cheng, they had already fled directly, not staying to see the outcome.
After all, they were also outsiders, and if they were unfortunately discovered by the Merfolk Clan, the consequences they would face would be the same as Bai Cheng and the others.
At this moment, Lin Qiuyue sat on the sofa in the carriage, her expression exceptionally smug.
And Xiao Ran beside her was also in a great mood.
"With so many Merfolk Clan war generals, Bai Cheng and her group won't be able to escape this time, even if they had wings!"
"Hmph, I've already marked the previous location. After we've gone further and Silent Night descends, we'll go back to find Bai Cheng's train core."
Xiao Ran nodded, "Good, I've wanted Bai Cheng's talent for a long time!"
Thinking that he would soon obtain Bai Cheng's talent, he laughed arrogantly.
"A talent that can upgrade legendary items and employee cards... By then, our train will be full of immortal-level employees, unrivaled!"
In contrast, Lin Qiuyue appeared relatively calm: "Don't be careless. Even immortal-level employees were still killed by a group of Merfolk today, weren't they?"
"You're right, caution is the most important thing."
Then, Lin Qiuyue glanced at the time again and turned her head, saying, "It's about time. Their battle must have ended by now. Let's confirm it with a prophecy."
Xiao Ran frowned upon hearing this: "Isn't this being too cautious? Bai Cheng and her group are in a dead-end situation. Is it necessary to waste a prophecy?"
Lin Qiuyue's gaze instantly turned cold. Seeing this, Xiao Ran quickly complied.
"Is Bai Cheng dead?"
But the answer received was negative.
"Not dead?" Xiao Ran was immediately incredulous. Lin Qiuyue also stood up with a solemn expression upon hearing this.
"Keep asking."
"Are there any casualties on Bai Cheng's train?" Xiao Ran expanded the scope of his inquiry this time.
But the answer received was still negative.
"How is that possible?" he exclaimed.
And this time, without Lin Qiuyue needing to remind him again, Xiao Ran decisively used up his last prophecy for the day.
"Are all those Merfolk Clan war generals dead?"
This time the answer changed, becoming affirmative.
"Damn it!" Xiao Ran immediately cursed angrily, "Are they cockroaches reincarnated? Why are they so hard to kill!"
"I don't believe it, this is absolutely impossible! This damn talent must have a problem!!"
Meanwhile, Lin Qiuyue's gaze was gloomy, and she remained silent for a long time.
On Bai Cheng's train, when they realized that Lin Qiuyue had used their hatred to scheme against them, the three of them were also extremely angry.
"This Lin Qiuyue... I must find a way to deal with her!" Bai Cheng had now made up her mind. She would use every method she could find to locate the other party, even if it meant temporarily stopping their journey.
Previously, Bai Cheng had always prioritized moving forward, and if she happened to encounter them at a Station, she would deal with them incidentally.
But this time was different. If Lin Qiuyue, Xiao Ran, and the others before were at most an annoyance to Bai Cheng and didn't pose too great a threat, then this time, the other party's act of killing with a borrowed knife had truly threatened the lives of Bai Cheng and her two companions.
This was something she absolutely could not tolerate.
Upon hearing Bai Cheng's words, Lan Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head: "Miss, your subordinate can find her."
The three of them were startled, then showed joy and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Really?"
Lan Xiaoyu nodded and honestly explained, "Your subordinate has the ability to manipulate water elements, and that Survivor's ability happens to be related to water."
"Your subordinate just came into contact with the water elements on her body when dispersing her clone. With your subordinate's special ability, it's not difficult to track her approximate location."
Bai Cheng's pupils instantly widened: "Good, good, good!"
Although it could only pinpoint an approximate location, in this vast, open sea without cover, even with the naked eye, it would be enough to find the other party's train.
Since they could find the other party, the next steps would be even easier.
Bai Cheng immediately made up her mind and turned to look at Leng Ningxue and Yu Nian.
"From now on, we will prioritize feeding all our magic crystals to one employee, creating a Town Guardian Level as quickly as possible."
"However," Bai Cheng then changed her tone, "I won't give Lin Qiuyue that much time anymore."
"Absorb all these magic crystals we have, and then I will personally take two employees on the powered railcar to kill Lin Qiuyue!"
Leng Ningxue naturally agreed, but Yu Nian loudly objected.
"No!"
"The powered railcar has four seats. How can taking two employees be enough? Take three!"
