66: Dragon Fang Assault

On the Dragon Tooth.

Wu Mazi looked at the Black Knight Train fleeing in a panic ahead, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, not taking it too seriously.

He had just probed it.

He immediately realized that the Black Knight Train was not the culprit behind the deaths of Zhuang Zao and the Ghost Soldiers on the Navigator.

But the spiritual sensing in the netherworld was in this direction.

So Wu Mazi simply chased after the Black Knight Train.

Perhaps he could find the killer of his subordinates faster through the Black Knight Train.

Suddenly, a greedy, fierce light appeared in Wu Mazi's eyes.

Living people, a large amount of living people's aura!!

At least several thousand, far more than the aura of living people on the Black Knight Train ahead.

There was also an aura emanating pure and intense soul energy.

If he could devour it, it would be more effective than devouring a thousand ordinary living souls!

Perceiving that aura, he immediately pressed the button of the Dragon Tooth's Ghost Engine without hesitation. The vengeful spirits in the cabin instantly let out a shrill scream, and several white psionic energies spewed out from their distorted, pale mouths.

Under the shroud of white psionic energy, the entire Dragon Tooth quickly became transparent and ethereal, like a phantom passing through the void. One second it was a kilometer behind the Black Knight Train, the next second it was close to the Black Knight Train's taillights.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it passed through the Black Knight Train.

A cold aura passed through the Black Knight Train's carriages, making Gao Feng shiver. When he looked back, he realized that the Dragon Tooth had somehow gotten ahead of him.

It sped towards the direction of the canyon rift.

"The Xinhuo Train! It must be the Xinhuo Train that has appeared!"

Gao Feng instantly thought of this possibility.

However, at this time, under the interference of the Tier 3 Eternal Night Disaster, long-distance communication between trains was forced to cease. He could not contact the Xinhuo Train through the friends channel.

Seeing this, he quickly sent a warning message in the regional channel.

Black Knight Train (Tier 3 Train): "Urgent warning: A suspected Tier 4 strange zombie king has been found 38 kilometers southeast of Qinghe City ruins. It is driving the Dragon Tooth train, which has been equipped with a Ghost Engine, towards the canyon rift. Its estimated speed exceeds 400km/h. Trains along the route, please be careful to avoid it."

Below this message, he sent another message @ing the Xinhuo Train.

Black Knight Train (Tier 3 Train): "@Xinhuo Train (Tier 3 Train), please detour to Yanxi Lake after seeing this message. I will also rush there to assist you in resisting the Tier 4 strange zombie king."

Then he @ed the Armed Thug and several other veteran Tier 3 trains he thought might still be alive, appealing: "If you Train Captains still have the strength, please come to the Yanxi Lake area together. The Tier 4 strange zombie king's goal is to slaughter all humans in Donglin Plain. The Ghost Princess and the Giant Whale Train have already been harmed, and the human faction's strength has been greatly weakened. Please work together to overcome this difficulty. There will be a heavy reward afterward."

Before the Dragon Tooth accelerated, Gao Feng thought that his Black Knight Train alone could contend with it.

After all, when he encountered the Navigator before, the other party couldn't do anything to him.

But the moment the Dragon Tooth etherealized and passed through the Black Knight Train, Gao Feng immediately realized.

The other party was different from the Navigator; not catching up before was due to the other party's disdain.

If the other party wanted to, in its current state, it could destroy the Black Knight Train in minutes.

Clearly, the Dragon Tooth's Train Captain was most likely the final BOSS of this regional time-limited cleanup mission—the Tier 4 strange zombie king.

He was destroying every force in Donglin Plain that could pose a threat to him.

The Ghost Princess gathered nearly one-third of the Train Assembly's power, so it was eliminated first.

Aside from leaving a brief message in the regional channel: "Beware of the strange zombie king."

No other useful information could be left.

The regional channel almost constantly had last words left by other Train Captains before their deaths.

And now, the Dragon Tooth was heading for the Xinhuo Train.

This indicated that the Xinhuo Train was currently the biggest threat in his heart.

Recalling the results of the divination compass, Gao Feng understood that if he wanted to survive in the end, the Xinhuo Train was the only hope.

He must rely on the Xinhuo Train's power.

Although he didn't know what other methods the Xinhuo Train had, the silent disappearance of the Knocking Ghost was the best proof.

He must assist the Xinhuo Train!!!

— — — —

Because of the presence of Xiao Xin, the Train Intelligent Auxiliary AI, Lu Yang did not monitor the train radio in real time.

But when useful information was found, Lu Yang knew it immediately.

Especially since the Black Knight Train had specifically @ed him.

Seeing that message, Lu Yang's heart tightened.

It had only been an hour or so since he killed Zhuang Zao and cleared out the small Ghost Soldier tide.

He didn't expect the Dragon Tooth to find him so quickly.

In fact, Lu Yang had already speculated that the Tier 4 strange zombie king might be the Dragon Tooth's Train Captain when he killed Zhuang Zao and destroyed the Navigator.

After all, there were three trains blocking his way at that time: besides the Navigator and the leading Dragon Tooth, there was another train, the Azure Scale Train.

They traveled together, so there was no reason for only the Navigator to mutate while the other trains were spared.

The greatest possibility was that they mutated together.

Now the Black Knight Train's warning message perfectly confirmed his previous speculation.

Facing the Tier 4 strange zombie king, Lu Yang dared not slack off in the slightest. The moment he received the warning message, he immediately activated the emergency plan.

Piercing alarm sounds rang out in all the passenger carriages on the Xinhuo Train.

Because emergency plan drill content had been distributed to everyone's personal terminals in advance, and an emergency drill had been organized, everyone was a bit nervous but not panicked at this time.

They all thought it was another drill and orderly followed the guidance of their respective carriage attendants, entering the designated refuge farm one by one.

To reduce everyone's tension, Lu Yang, following Xiao Xin's suggestion, prepared small stools in the refuge farm in advance, and a large display screen was arranged at the front to play movies.

This helped reduce the possibility of everyone overthinking.

And the movies chosen were all positive, main-theme films, with content about facing disasters or ghost invasions, where everyone united, worked together, and overcame adversity.

According to Xiao Xin's judgment, the methods of the strange were nothing more than invading with evil energy fields and negative energy, triggering the deepest fears, selfishness, greed, and other seven deadly sins emotions in people's hearts.

When everyone's emotions were influenced by positive energy, even if a strange invasion occurred at this time, it would not be easy to reverse the emotions deep in everyone's hearts for a while.

To give everyone a sense of satisfaction, a small sales bar was also set up inside the farm, where everyone could buy ice cola, steamed buns, and other items at half price.

They had food, drinks, and could watch movies.

For a time, everyone didn't seem to be going to a refuge but rather on a team-building outing. A relaxed and joyful atmosphere filled the entire train, and even the originally faceless Guardian Statue seemed to be smiling.

The passengers were properly arranged.

The Kobolds were much easier to settle.

Give each person a pickaxe, and then place some fake iron mines made of steel in the refuge farm. Dig away!!

All of this was completed in just over ten minutes.

Lu Yang originally thought he was fast enough, but he didn't expect the Dragon Tooth to arrive even faster.

When a huge red dot symbolizing the enemy appeared on the target-seeking radar, an even more piercing alarm sound instantly resounded throughout the entire Train Captain's carriage.

Lu Yang immediately used his Train Captain authority to place all small Guardian Statue avatars in the refuge farm carriages to suppress negative emotions, while the main statue guarded his Train Captain's carriage.

Then his eyes sharpened.

To deal with this pseudo-Tier 4 train, Lu Yang had specially temporarily upgraded both Small Electromagnetic Railguns to Tier 4 and pre-charged them.

Waiting for death was not Lu Yang's style.

Taking the initiative was what a wise man would do.

So, "Eat my cannonball!"

Lu Yang let out a deep roar, like a desperate beast fighting in a cage.

Two brilliant blue electric arcs flashed like lightning, shooting towards the target on the radar with an initial velocity exceeding 8000m/s.

Screech~ Zzzzt~ — —

Boom— —

The attack came too quickly.

Even though Wu Mazi had already been promoted to Tier 4, he couldn't react in time.

It was entirely thanks to the Ghost Train's self-reacting vengeful spirit shield that he was able to resist the attack, giving Wu Mazi a slight moment to react and etherealize to the fourth interrogation carriage.

However, with just that one hit, all the vengeful spirits in the Ghost Engine were drained of their spiritual energy and exploded.

Half of the train's front was twisted into a pretzel.

Seeing this scene, Wu Mazi was incredulous, his mouth twitching, almost passing out from holding his breath.

"What... a sin!"

"My Ghost Train!"

He didn't care why the aura of living people in the train carriages ahead suddenly decreased.

Instead, he used his innate ability to etherealize and move above the Xinhuo Train's Train Captain's carriage, pressing down with a large black mist hand.

"Damn you, I'm going to crush you!"
