About to enter the advanced area, he couldn't let the train have an unarmored carriage, that would become the train's weak point. Any monster attack in the advanced area could scrap that unarmored carriage.
The remaining 22,000 units of iron ore should be enough as a food and energy reserve.
At least it can last for about 10 days.
If he can't find a monster like the "Pangolin" in these ten days, then he'll have to sell some slaves at the market. After all, in the Tieling Wasteland, it's impossible to guarantee mining every day, and even if there is ore, it's generally low-level iron ore, daily consumption is too much, can't afford it.
At this moment, the night was deep.
But Chen Mang was reluctant to stay and rest for another night, so he stepped on the gas pedal immediately, and the dragon-like train sped toward the westmost part of the Tieling Wasteland through the night!
Target—
Kunlun Mountain.
...
In the wilderness, on a good day, you can see mountains to the west.
But as they say, looking at the mountain, the horse runs to death.
After a whole night of extreme speeding, the mountain range finally came close when it was about to dawn five hours later, but...
"What is this...?"
The train slowly stopped, and Chen Mang, sitting at the control panel, looked at the scene before him, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. After approaching Kunlun Mountain, he saw a huge curtain of light separating Kunlun Mountain and the Tieling Wasteland.
The light curtain was a translucent pale green.
Three giant words were engraved on the curtain.
"Kunlun Mountain".
At the same time.
The screen next to the control panel flashed red rapidly, and a line of red text slowly scrolled across the top of the screen.
-
"The area ahead is a green area, Kunlun Mountain."
"Monsters up to level 6 may exist, the current train level is 2, the danger coefficient is high, it is suggested to leave immediately."
-
"Level 6 monster..."
Chen Mang looked at that line of words on the screen, took a deep breath, took a bottle of iced cola from the refrigerator beside him and drank it down to refresh himself, then gritted his teeth slightly and drove straight into the light curtain blocking the way.
This Kunlun Mountain, he must venture into it.
As long as he can find the "Pangolin" and it drops a blueprint like the drill, when he returns to the Tieling Wasteland, there will be unlimited resources waiting for him to mine, by then the train will experience exponential explosive growth.
Otherwise, he can't even afford to keep these slaves.
Unless he's willing to sell these slaves.
He learned from Doba about the basic information of the Pangolin, its level is not high, generally level 2, an elite monster is level 3, a boss is level 4, but they act cautiously, usually feeding on rocks, often hiding in large mountain grooves, hard to encounter.
When the train charged directly through the light curtain, officially entering the "Kunlun Mountain" area at that moment.
Chen Mang looked back.
As expected, the light curtain behind him turned into a white translucent state, and the words on it became "Tieling Wasteland".
...
Almost as soon as entering the "Kunlun Mountain" area, the terrain became no longer flat, and the road ahead was already rugged and uneven, such terrain ordinary trains cannot travel on at all, and looking around, mountains were everywhere.
There was almost no flat land.
One mountain after another.
Chen Mang immediately retracted the "Wind-Fire Wheel" and released the "Spider Legs", without this accessory, he wouldn't even have the thought to come to Kunlun Mountain.
The top speed of the Spider Legs at level 1 is fixed at 50km per hour.
Rising to level 13, it's fixed at 170km per hour, although still not as fast as the Wind-Fire Wheel, this speed is already faster than many level 1 trains, especially since it's already very good in such mountainous terrain.
"Whew..."
Chen Mang took a slightly nervous breath, gripping the control stick tightly, the target detection radar beside him already started beeping wildly.
Within radar range, there were seven level 3 monsters, even a level 4 monster.
Having just entered Kunlun Mountain, the situation was already so dangerous.
His train currently couldn't withstand simultaneous attacks from seven level 3 monsters and a level 4 monster.
Fortunately, his "Target Detection Radar" could clearly display all creatures' information within its range on the screen, allowing him to easily find a monster like the Pangolin among the group of monsters.
However—
There was no time to think too much now.
Chen Mang's expression changed slightly, the level 4 monster "Violent King Dragon" 3000 meters to the left was already charging towards him amidst roaring, with a towering height of about seven or eight meters, even the ground was faintly trembling.
Crazy!
He cursed silently while steering the train to speed towards the nearest mountain, this mountain seemed to be sliced in half by a sword, a cliff at nearly ninety-degree angle.
Why are there even dinosaurs like this?
And it's 3000 meters apart, with so many big trees and bushes in between blocking the view, even hills, how can you see him?
Do you also have a target detection radar?
In the nick of time!
Just before the level 4 monster Violent King Dragon was about to catch up to the train, it transformed into a giant centipede and zipped to the cliff halfway up the nearly ninety-degree steep cliff.
The Violent King Dragon could only lift its head and roar helplessly, drool dripped all over, yet it was powerless.
"Whew..."
Chen Mang exhaled a sigh of relief, thank god he had the Spider Legs, you try flying if you have the ability.
However... the next moment.
"Goddamnit."
Not far away in mid-air, an eagle with a wingspan of three meters wide was screeching, flying rapidly towards his train, identified on the target detection radar as a level 3 monster "Sky-Hunting Eagle".
Incredible.
This was the first time he saw a flying monster, life for other train captains in this advanced area must be so miserable, living in dire straits.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The level 3 monster Sky-Hunting Eagle landed on the carriage, using its terrifying beak to peck at the carriage violently, producing sounds like metal collisions.
Fortunately, it's only a level 3 monster.
It poses no immediate threat to the Constant Star Train's level 3 armor.
Chen Mang ignored this eagle, quickly scanning the radar range for the monster, confirming that there was no Pangolin, he then maneuvered the train to climb along the cliff wall to the other side, at least to steer clear of the Violent King Dragon lurking below waiting for a meal.
...
Three hours later.
Nerves on edge constantly, Chen Mang finally found a barely safe spot, a towering mountain surrounded entirely by cliffs, only a hundred square meters at the top, practically a natural barrier.
Aside from those flying monsters, a monster like the Violent King Dragon definitely can't reach him here.
And during those three hours, he was almost constantly being chased by monsters, having no time to check all the information on the target detection radar; thankfully, the Train Assistance AI existed, when a Pangolin appeared on the radar, the AI would alert him.
"Damn it..."
Finally safe, Chen Mang trembled slightly as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, he truly experienced what it means to run for your life, even with a level 4 train, it's tough to survive in such a place.
The terrain here is too complex.
Even with Spider Legs, it was difficult for him, can't imagine how other trains manage to survive, so far he hasn't seen a single one.
Just then—
No time for much reaction, suddenly feeling the ground below the train shaking violently, the target detection radar indicated a level 4 monster "Rock Snake" was quickly tunneling through the mountainside heading straight for him!
"Damn!"
He couldn't even finish uttering a complete swear word, could only frantically steer the train to flee from here, racing along the cliff wall towards the other side of the mountains.
But at this moment.
He suddenly saw an extremely shocking scene, not far away, a train was actually flying in the air, soaring between heaven and earth like a celestial train.
