Bai Cheng is currently lacking Magic Crystals, and these guys are undoubtedly delivering themselves right to her door.

The star diamond ore behind the stone gate, the large group of Magic Beasts gathering, and extorting these Survivors—this amounts to a considerable sum, just enough for Purple Iris to break through to the King Rank.

Bai Cheng’s calculations were sound, but when the train entered the deep pit, the searchlights swept away the surrounding darkness, and as the train slowly descended, what appeared before everyone was an incredibly bizarre train.

“Why is there only one train?” Yu Nian was greatly disappointed. She had originally wanted to volunteer to negotiate with those leaders.

“This train is a bit strange,” Bai Cheng said in a deep voice, raising an eyebrow as her gaze pierced the darkness.

As everyone's train began to slow down, the moment the light fell upon the opposing train's body, the others finally understood why Bai Cheng's expression was grim.

It was a train constructed entirely of white bones, and it was certainly not as simple as mere armor.

Because amidst the interwoven white bones, everyone clearly noticed that its interior was not only hollow, but not a single ray of light shone through.

The skeletal, hollow train constructed of white bones was pitch black inside, looking more like a large toy at first glance.

The most striking thing was that the train consisted only of a single locomotive, making it the shortest train anyone present had ever seen.

Let alone a leader who reached the Death Desert, even the most ordinary Survivor, after receiving the system's default rewards, would never have only a single locomotive.

Bai Cheng immediately observed her surroundings. She was certain that within the vast underground deep pit, besides their moving train and the White Bone Train parked ahead, there were no other trains.

The only one who could have used the temple core was the person opposite them.

But where... was that guy?

The strangeness lay right here: Bai Cheng hadn't even detected the presence of the leader opposite them.

“Perhaps it's due to his Talent?” Leng Ningxue guessed.

“Perhaps.”

Although she felt a faint unease in her heart, Bai Cheng had absolute confidence in her current strength.

She wanted to see who exactly was driving that White Bone Train.

Soon, the train continuously slowed down until it came to a complete stop, parking steadily beside the opposing train.

This deep pit seemed to have been opened recently, as no Magic Beast horde had arrived from the rear yet.

As for the leaders Bai Cheng had encountered earlier, after losing their temple cores, they either rushed to leave the Death Desert or were doomed to be buried in the Sand Sea.

Not much time had passed since Bai Cheng completed her Promotion Mission, so she guessed that not many leaders who had just arrived at the Death Desert would come to this second deep pit.

“Xiao Cheng, I'll go take a look.” Yu Nian volunteered, immediately wanting to get off the train and check the opposing train.

But Bai Cheng reached out and stopped her, shaking her head, “Let Purple Iris go.”

Purple Iris is currently the strongest; even if they encountered an accident, she could prepare for it at the fastest speed.

The rest of the group did not leave the train, instead watching through the windows as Purple Iris approached the front of the opposing train and cautiously inspected it.

But the expected accident did not happen. In fact, the train beside them seemed completely abandoned; there were no Survivors at all.

After just one glance, Purple Iris returned and reported, “Miss, the train is completely empty. There aren't even... any System Constructs.”

System Constructs naturally refer to the series of items or structures that Survivors can unlock by developing technology, such as tools, Furnaces, and other facilities.

But the strange thing was that there was absolutely nothing on this White Bone Train.

This was fundamentally not a Survivor's train!

Through the window, Yu Nian continuously swept her Flashlight around, trying to discover something. “So, where is the Survivor who opened the deep pit? They couldn't have just run away, could they?”

Once the temple core is activated, it is absolutely impossible to leave without possessing a second temple core, unless the Stone Statue behind the door is defeated.

“Then what is the significance of the other party doing this?” Leng Ningxue wondered.

“Who cares? This is basically just giving us Resources for free!” Yu Nian said carelessly. “It would be even better if a few more Survivors came later.”

Since no anomaly was found on the White Bone Train beside them, everyone could only wait quietly on their train for the Magic Beast horde to arrive.

During this time, Qingniao successfully absorbed the Thunder Elemental Core and smoothly advanced to the Legendary Level.

This made Bai Cheng exceptionally happy.

She immediately handed the heart of immortality to it. “This way, Qingniao, you can also advance to Immortality!”

“Qingniao says thank you, Miss, for your high regard.” Chiyan stood aside and translated.

And as Qingniao began its advancement again, a violent tremor soon came from the end of the Passage they had arrived through.

A large amount of dust fell, and the entire space seemed to be shaking.

Purple ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Iris held her Weapon and slowly moved to the very rear of the train, blocking the entrance to the Passage.

Standing barefoot, her entire aura spread out, forming a terrifying Pressure.

A large number of Lizardmen swarmed forward, and Purple Iris quickly began a Slaughter unique to herself.

The strongest of these Magic Beasts were only War General-level, and those were one in ten thousand; most Magic Beasts generally remained at the Elite-level.

Before Purple Iris, who was at the Peak of the Guardian Level, they truly couldn't even get close.

Purple Iris's experience grew rapidly. Because she was already at the Critical Threshold, she could attempt to break through to the King Rank almost instantly.

Among the Staff, Chiyan, who had the highest level besides Purple Iris, had long been prepared.

As Purple Iris began her breakthrough, he immediately stepped up to take over the task of slaughtering the Magic Beasts.

With the Hellfire intentionally contained, the deep red bloodstains of the Magic Beasts began to color the Magic Patterns already preset on the ground.

The Sacrifice Process was complete, and the Stone Gate immediately opened slowly with a rumble.

“Alright, let's hurry up and mine. We don't need to worry about this White Bone Train for now!” Bai Cheng immediately said.

At this moment, she and all her Staff had already grabbed their Backpacks, ready to make a killing.

Although star diamond ore was currently useless to Bai Cheng, why refuse free Resources?

Furthermore, the server-wide connected Exchange could allow her to trade them to the leaders in other Channels.

Leaving Purple Iris and Qingniao, who were breaking through, with Chiyan responsible for guarding them, Bai Cheng directly took everyone else and stepped through the Stone Gate.

In the pitch-black environment, only the sound of everyone's footsteps echoed. Leng Ningxue, walking beside her, still expressed some worry.

“Bai Cheng, do you think that guy might have already been hiding behind the door?”

Bai Cheng was stunned upon hearing this. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Lin Qiuyue from back then.

That person possessed some kind of Shuttling Ability.
