108: Are you... Rui Yu?

This newly discovered Tier 1 Psionic Stone collection point is located deep within the Eternal Night Zone.

Since the discovery of those few Tier 1 Specters, the Xinhuo Train has encountered many strange creatures one after another.

However, most of them were low-level strange creatures common in the Eternal Night Zone, such as specters, soul wolves, and phantom snakes.

Before they could even touch the Xinhuo Train's psionic shield, they were all captured by the Magic Net Core, turned into raw materials for the Ghost Grinding Wheel, and slowly decomposed into nutrients for the magic herb garden and game monsters like low-level zombies, zombie wolves, and zombie snakes wandering in the wilderness.

However, Lu Yang also discovered that the Magic Net Core could only capture Tier 1 strange creatures.

It was powerless against Tier 2 strange creatures.

For example, a Tier 2 Headless Ghoul encountered midway had already reached the front of the train, but the Magic Net Core showed no reaction.

Fortunately, the Xinhuo Train had many ways to deal with strange creatures.

Seeing such good material, Lu Yang immediately had the Train Police Squad take the opportunity to test the effect of the peace talisman.

The results were surprising.

One peace talisman allowed a Tier 2 Headless Ghoul to attack dozens of times consecutively without breaking through the blood energy shield automatically generated by the peace talisman combined with the blood energy of a living person.

Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with Wang Iron Hammer being the holder of the peace talisman.

To test the difference, Lu Yang sent Liu Shan, a Train Police Squad leader with a more ordinary physique.

This time, the Headless Ghoul only took less than ten attacks to shatter the blood energy shield generated by Liu Shan's blood energy.

It almost grabbed him.

Then it was blocked by the blood energy shield formed by the second peace talisman Liu Shan carried with him.

However, after the second blood energy shield was formed, Liu Shan's face visibly paled a lot.

He clearly paid a considerable price.

But the test results were impressive.

At the very least, it let Lu Yang know that when going out on missions, everyone would be safer if they carried a few more peace talismans.

In an emergency, even if it might deplete one's blood energy, it's better than being killed instantly by a strange creature.

After testing the defensive capabilities of the peace talisman, Lu Yang had people test its offensive capabilities.

The description of the Cinnabar Bullet Production Line's characteristics clearly stated that talisman ash could cause huge damage to strange creatures.

Lu Yang had Wang Iron Hammer hold a steel shield in one hand and a battle-axe in the other.

Of course, he was also wearing a peace talisman.

Both the battle-axe and the shield were evenly smeared with talisman ash.

When Wang Iron Hammer swung his axe, the battle-axe smeared with talisman ash easily chopped off one of the Headless Ghoul's arms.

Although it quickly grew a new one, its figure inevitably became much more illusory.

When its waving claws touched the shield, it was like touching a branding iron, emitting sizzling sounds.

The offensive effect of the peace talisman ash was evident from this.

However, the most unexpected thing was that the peace talisman ash could also combine with a living person's blood energy.

When the testing was almost complete, Lu Yang gave the final order for Wang Iron Hammer to deal with the Headless Ghoul.

As a result, Wang Iron Hammer, fully immersed, actually activated the blood energy on the blood energy shield while wielding his battle-axe, and when he swung his axe, a clear blood shadow appeared on the axe blade.

He directly split the Headless Ghoul vertically in half with one axe, and its body quickly turned into a pile of ashes, leaving only a transparent Tier 2 Soul Crystal in its place.

Afterward, Lu Yang asked Wang Iron Hammer how he did it, wanting Wang Iron Hammer to recreate such a scene.

But perhaps because there was no strange creature as an enemy, Wang Iron Hammer could no longer do it.

Instead, he felt an uncharacteristic fatigue.

According to Xiao Xin's judgment, it should be due to excessive blood energy consumption.

Seeing this, Lu Yang did not let Wang Iron Hammer continue to try, but instead sent him several deluxe beef and horse meals to help him replenish himself.

Of course, Liu Shan, who also made contributions, also received the deluxe beef and horse meals.

This made both of them incredibly grateful to Lu Yang once again.

Upon arriving at the Tier 1 Psionic Stone mine, perhaps due to the concentration of psionic energy there, there were dozens of strange creatures in the mine, more than half of which were Tier 2, and there was even one Tier 3.

Seeing this, Lu Yang had someone bring out the main god statue from the train and place it at the entrance of the mine.

Then, all Train Police Officers were dispatched, each armed with a Jiaolong Assault Rifle and Cinnabar Bullets.

Each squad also had someone specially carrying a small guardian god statue, and everyone else wore peace talismans.

Bayonets were smeared with peace talisman ash.

They directly charged into the mine.

Half an hour later, Lu Yang was very surprised to see the only Tier 3 strange creature that had been detected by the strange creature detection radar, now being escorted out by the Train Police Officers.

Although the other party was ragged, disheveled, and entwined with ghostly aura, there was clearly still the aura of a living person.

Moreover, he always felt that the gaze the other party directed at him in a fleeting glance just now was somewhat familiar.

It was as if they had met before.

He pondered for a long time, then suddenly remembered and said, "You are... Rui Ran, Train Captain of Ghost Princess, the Train Captain of the Ghost Princess? How did you end up like this?"

Seeing Lu Yang recognize her, Rui Ran, Train Captain of Ghost Princess no longer bowed her head, revealing her pale face beneath her disheveled hair.

She gave a bitter smile, her face full of bitterness and helplessness: "I don't know either."

"When the Ghost Princess was destroyed and I was captured by the Strange Zombie King, I thought I was going to die. It tortured me with a strange whip for days and nights, making me lose consciousness at one point."

"I didn't expect that when I woke up again, I had become this half-human, half-ghost appearance, and I appeared in the Eternal Night Zone."

"Oh, and I also have this thing on me."

Rui Ran, Train Captain of Ghost Princess did not hide it, taking out a black parchment that looked unremarkable from her body.

It was the same black parchment that had previously transformed Wu Mazi and the others into strange creatures.

Only, at this time, it had no ghostly aura, and the strange characters on the paper had disappeared.

It was as if it was just a historical artifact taken from a museum.

But a golden flame suddenly curled out from Lu Yang's brow and pulled it in front of him.

Under the calcination of the Golden Civilization Fire, the black parchment was like a gold foil covered in stains, and under the calcination of the flame, it quickly revealed its original color.
