"We'll see each other at the Hegemony Competition!"

Before leaving, Ye Liangchen also bid farewell to Bai Cheng.

At this moment, he looked a little urgent, and his eyes burned with strong fighting spirit, as if he had sworn to do something great. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Bai Cheng was a little confused by his demeanor, but she didn't delve deeper and just nodded: "Okay."

Then, both parties stepped onto the Station.

It was then that Leng Ningxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "I guess it's you, Bai Cheng, your strength changed so quickly, it must have stimulated this guy."

"Eh?"

Yu Nian also asked curiously: "But speaking of which, it's really strange. That guy doesn't even have a teammate, yet he's the strongest of the three."

Bai Cheng was noncommittal: "Indeed, I always feel like this guy still has a trump card."

"Hmph," Yu Nian, however, was a little disdainful, "So what? He doesn't even have Guardian Level strength, we've already left him far behind!"

The three chatted and laughed all the way, and soon returned to the Station through the passage.

The first thing Bai Cheng did after returning to the train was not to rush to depart, but to immediately go to the screen to check the rewards for this trip.

The other two also gathered around: "Quick, let's see what this shrine core (replica) is good for!"

"Item Name: shrine core (Replica)"

"Quality: Legendary"

"Description: Can open a mysterious hidden spot in the Death Desert (may be accompanied by danger, not recommended for use at night)."

"Evaluation: Even a fake can evoke a trace of the power of the Desert ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Miracle from back then."

"What is this?" Yu Nian frowned, greatly disappointed, "A treasure map?"

"Perhaps, something like that." Leng Ningxue also said with some uncertainty.

"Never mind, let's go."

Bai Cheng also lost interest and immediately pulled down the control lever.

A buzzing sound rang out, and as the wheels generated power by rubbing against the tracks, the triangular curtain in front of them gradually turned to ash.

What appeared before them was a dazzling white light, and the moment the train crashed into it, this blinding light instantly swallowed them.

Until they adapted to the light and opened their eyes, the three immediately went to the window to look at the world outside.

Golden sand dunes piled up like soft, continuous waves, seemingly connecting to the azure sky.

The rising heat waves around them directly distorted space, and as the high temperature struck, fine beads of sweat quickly seeped from the three's foreheads.

"So hot!" Yu Nian immediately began to take off her clothes without a word, her upper body brazenly wearing only a small black camisole, revealing her fair skin and proud curves without reservation.

Bai Cheng also immediately changed her clothing mode, while Leng Ningxue was simple and pure, directly activating her ability to cool herself down.

This desert, apart from the high temperature, was almost boundless, no different from the Nameless Sea.

It stretched as far as the eye could see, desolate and lonely.

It was just a sea of sand this time.

"Why do I feel more and more lonely?" Bai Cheng couldn't help but complain as she looked at the scene before her.

Before, at least there were some small fish to accompany them, but this time, it didn't even pretend, becoming a completely private trip for them.

"Bai Cheng, look," Leng Ningxue suddenly pointed to the observation deck: "There are two more trains in front of us... They seem to be stopped in place?"

"Are those the two guys from the Station earlier?" Bai Cheng guessed, "Don't mind them."

Sure enough, when the train passed the location of the two trains on the map, another train also appeared behind them.

"It seems the guy behind us is Ye Liangchen."

Even now, the train's direction of travel could not be controlled. The four who left from the same Station only grew farther and farther apart, and Bai Cheng paid no attention to them.

However, after the train coordinates of Wang Bian and Lin Shu disappeared from Bai Cheng's map, their two groups also began to quickly gather in Ye Liangchen's direction... A grudge match was already inevitable, but Bai Cheng was still completely unaware of this.

At this moment, due to Leng Ningxue's reminder, she and the other two curiously came to the detection platform to check, but the three were not looking at the distance between themselves and the others, but rather at the itinerary information for the next Station.

But with a single glance, the three were simultaneously greatly surprised.

"Current Area: Death Desert"

"Abnormal Status: None"

"Distance to next Station: 3956km!"

"Why is the distance to the next Station only four thousand kilometers?"

"Does that mean this desert terrain is very small?"

The answer was obvious, and at the same time, Leng Ningxue looked at Bai Cheng again: "Does the ring have a reaction?"

Bai Cheng shook her head.

If the train traveled day and night for a total journey of four thousand kilometers, it wouldn't even take two days for them to reach Station #7. The speed was the fastest it had ever been.

According to past experience, shouldn't the journey be getting longer and longer?

Within two days, in addition to dealing with unknown dangers that could erupt at any time, the most important thing was that they had to collect the ore needed to upgrade the train.

It was currently known that after missing the current terrain, it would be almost impossible to obtain this high-grade ore again, which meant that if they couldn't upgrade the train this time, their level would be directly stuck.

But the time for danger was too short, and more importantly, they had already traveled nearly fifty kilometers, and the exploring ring in Bai Cheng's hand had not reacted at all.

"Could it be that this terrain has no ore?" Yu Nian couldn't help but wonder, "After all, the surroundings are full of desert, let alone ore, you can't even see a small pebble..."

Bai Cheng, however, shook her head: "Compared to that, I'd rather believe they are hidden inside."

With that, she took out the shrine core, preparing to use it.

"That's right, it's not impossible!"

"And if circumstances allow, I want to complete the promotion mission here too," Bai Cheng said lightly.

It just so happened that very few Survivors had arrived in this terrain, so there would be almost no one to interfere.

"But for now, let's use it first."

"Although the description says using it at night would be more effective, we have three of them, so let's use one during the day to test the waters."

"Okay!" The two also nodded in agreement.

And as Bai Cheng used it according to the prompt, a warning popped up first.

"The power of the shrine core has been released!"

"All creatures in this terrain will receive a simultaneous warning!"
