Li Yao was riding the slowest green-skinned crystal rail train, an ancient model refined more than 150 years ago.
The conversion efficiency of spiritual energy was not high, and the power talisman array would release a large amount of heat energy when it was running.
So there is a big chimney standing on the front of the train, with white smoke "whooshing" outward.
A combat carriage hangs behind the front of the car, equipped with powerful magic weapons, like a majestic armored beast.
"One, two, three, four!"
A group of federal troops in black uniforms were lining up, murderous and ready to go.
After that, there was a luxury carriage, a first-class carriage, a second-class carriage and ten third-class carriages, with another combat carriage hanging at the rear.
Many federal soldiers climbed up and down, wiping the gleaming magic weapons.
"Woo——" The front of the train roared, and the speed of the white smoke pouring out increased significantly, forming a cloud of smoke above the train.
A clear and melodious bell rang on the platform, and all the passengers who had not yet boarded the train quickened their pace.
The cover above the combat carriage was opened, and powerful crystal cannons rose up.
Li Yao squeezed his way to the seat with great difficulty and stuffed the backpack containing toiletries and the Black Wing Sword onto the luggage rack.
As for the package containing Dusky Star Rock, it was too heavy and could only be thrown under the seat, causing the floor to make a jarring sound.
The moaning sound attracted everyone's attention.
"Crack!
Click!"
Driven by the power talisman array.
Invisible ripples spread out.
The wheels turned slowly, and the scenery outside the car window kept changing.
Jubenguan was quickly forgotten, replaced by a continuous patch of yellow-brown, occasionally dotted with a few gray-green Populus euphratica.
See the train start.
Passengers took out their micro-crystals and sent messages to their relatives and friends.
"Mom, I've already got in the car, um, it's already driving, don't worry.
I've stuffed all my money, and I'll send you a message when I get to school!
Oh, it's okay, the school is in the town, There are troops and cultivators around to protect you.
Why are there monsters?
Stop nagging!"
"Juan'er, wait for me.
I swear that I will make a name for myself in the Monster Wasteland.
When I make a lot of money, I will come back and marry you!"
"Xiao Gang, listen to your mother at home.
Your father has found a good job in the mine in Monster Wasteland and will send money back every month.
You study hard and don't make your mother and grandma angry.
Do you understand?
Listen to your father. " Hearing the reluctant farewells of the passengers, Li Yao felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
He also started the Linghe Letter and sent the news that everything was safe to Grandpa Wang, Meng Jiang and other relatives and friends.
After talking to everyone, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I once again set my sights on the vast world outside the window where the sky is high and birds can fly.
In the distance is the endless Gobi desert, and the rolling yellow sand makes the sunset look extremely huge; not far away is a small oasis dotted with it.
There is also a spring that looks like a crescent moon, and a lonely military camp stands next to it.
Two teenage recruits stood straighter than green pines at the entrance of the military camp.
Next to the military camp is a large-scale mine.
A giant crusher with a height of tens of meters is like a giant beast.
It keeps devouring the ore excavated from the ground, screening out the precious crystal powder contained in it, and condensing it into Crystals that people can use directly.
This is the wilderness, a paradise for the brave, and an ocean of hope!

Although the environment here is harsh, the sky is full of wind and sand, and monsters are rampant, it is not as suitable for human survival as the warm inland with four distinct seasons.
But under the vast wilderness, there are extremely precious treasures - the wilderness has more than 90% of the entire federation's crystal ore reserves, and there are countless rare metals and natural treasures!
Not to mention, the monster itself is a priceless material.
Many monster materials cannot be synthesized artificially by humans so far, and can only be obtained by hunting monsters.
After five hundred years of development in the Starry Federation, classes in the interior have been basically solidified.
It is difficult for ordinary people with nothing to get ahead through hard work, let alone to carve out a world with their bare hands.
But in the wilderness, everything is possible, even a stupid boy who knows nothing, as long as he is lucky and discovers an unknown mineral vein, he can get a priceless mining share and become rich overnight!
Not to mention that a newcomer who has just joined the circle of cultivators can become famous overnight by hunting a powerful monster, and then reach the top of his career!
Therefore, no matter how bad the environment in the wilderness is and how ferocious the monsters are, fearless humans still come here one after another and continue to infiltrate this dry land with blood and sweat - whether they are ordinary people or cultivators, presenting What they see is not a desolate wilderness, but an extremely beautiful hope!
The wheels were spinning and the train was speeding.
More than two hours later, they went deep into the hinterland of the wilderness and crossed an all-steel bridge more than 6,000 meters long.
Under the bridge is a large rift valley as deep as a thousand meters.
The magnificent scene took all the passengers' breath away.
The journey was tiring.
After passing the bridge, the whole road was a monotonous wasteland.
Many passengers closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Li Yao also fell into a dream, swallowing up Ou Yezi's memory fragments.
I don't know how long it took, but he was suddenly awakened by a strong jolt and heard screams from all around.
Looking out the window, I saw that the surrounding environment had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Just a moment ago, the setting sun was like blood, and the sky and the earth were dim, but now it has turned into darkness.
Large groups of dark clouds are like monsters with teeth and claws, swooping down from the sky, and lightning bolts are like claws, falling from time to time around the train, in mid-air A large ball of electric arc burst out.
"Pah!
Pah!
Pah, pah, pah!"
The rain started to fall, and the world that was dry a moment ago turned into a carnival paradise of violent storms in the blink of an eye.
Big raindrops hit the glass windows with such force that they made the windows rattle.
There is a feeling of being penetrated by raindrops.
As the storm raged, even the crystal rail train swayed slightly, like a small boat struggling in the stormy waves.
Starless night!
Thunder and lightning!
A violent storm!
Lightning outlines the world into a pale hell!
"It's a thunderstorm area."
Li Yao frowned.
Sure enough, a sweet voice came from the sound transmission array set on the roof of the car: "Dear passengers, please note that we have entered a thunderstorm area.
It is expected that we will drive in the thunderstorm area for an hour and a half.
Please pay attention to safety and try not to use the crane to send messages, so as not to attract thunder and lightning and breakdown the crystal computer."
The star magnetism in Monster Wasteland is abnormal and the climate is changeable.
Many strange microclimates are often formed, and thunderstorm areas are one of them.
In the area covered by the thunderstorm area, there will be heavy wind and rain, thunder and lightning in just a few seconds, and the thunder and lightning spiritual power in the air is extremely violent.
Not only will communication be cut off, but the cultivator's spiritual thoughts will also be unable to be transmitted.
Ordinary cultivators would not dare to fly with their swords in a thunderstorm area.
Even if a strong pill-forming master wanted to forcefully break into a thunderstorm area, he would have to think carefully and prepare again and again.
If he seduces the sky thunder and is struck by five thunders, that is no joke.
However, for cultivators who are proficient in thunder and lightning spiritual power, the formation of thunderstorm areas means a rare opportunity for cultivation.

Therefore, there are also many thunder and lightning monks who specialize in chasing clouds and lightning in the monster wasteland.
They call themselves "Thunder Chasers."
Although the thunderstorm area is fierce, defensive arrays are set up around the crystal rail train, which generally does not cause harm to passengers.
Just drive out of the thunderstorm area.
It's calm again and everything is clear.
But today's situation seems to be a little different.
The thunder and lightning in the dark clouds are particularly violent, and the frequency of lightning explosions is much higher than in ordinary thunderstorm areas.
Li Yao put his nose against the car window and looked out.
What was just the Gobi Desert suddenly turned into a black ocean.
And dark clouds rolled in mid-air.
A lot of bubbles came out, as if a pot was boiling.
Something is brewing, condensing, and surfacing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was like a big hole had been chewed out by a strange insect in the sky, or like a terrifying demon eye slowly opening.
"What's that?"
Li Yao vaguely saw some black shadows roaring out of the dark clouds with teeth and claws.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, ripples suddenly appeared out of the car window, which soon turned into an opaque light curtain, transforming into a scene of blue sky, white clouds, and oases everywhere.
"Is it closed?"
Li Yao secretly thought that the situation was developing in an unpredictable direction.
Something had obviously changed outside, which would cause mass panic among passengers, so the conductor lowered the light curtain, covered the windows, and sealed the train.
It couldn't be a thunderstorm.
Thunderstorms are a common weather phenomenon in the Monster Wasteland.
Even if travelers have never seen it, they have all heard of it.
As long as it is explained clearly, it will not cause panic.
But something...something more terrifying than a thunderstorm!
"Tap tap tap tap!"
More than a dozen federal troops wearing black combat uniforms, holding psychic bolters, and with chainswords thrust into their backs rushed from the front to the rear of the car, each one gnashing his teeth and filled with murderous intent.
"Oops, we encountered a monster!"
Li Yao's heart thumped.
After a while, there was a faint tremor from the rear of the car.
Ordinary people may not be able to sense it, but Li Yao sensed it very keenly.
He pulled up the carpet, lay down on the ground, put his ear to the ground, and listened carefully.
"Buzz buzz!"
This is the weak vibration sound released when the crystal rail train's defensive array is stimulated to the limit.
In this state, most of the crystal rail train's spiritual energy is output to the defensive array, which spreads around the crystal rail train.
Created a solid psychic shield.
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom!"
Something hit the crystal rail train hard.
"boom!"
It's an explosion.
"Crack-click-click, click-click-click!"
Several carriages at the rear of the train are being torn apart!
Many passengers were puzzled by his behavior and pointed fingers.
At this moment, a large number of passengers in the rear carriages were driven by federal soldiers to the carriage where Li Yao was.

The passengers still didn’t understand what happened, and many people complained loudly: “What’s going on?
Why are we kicked out of the carriage?
Where are we supposed to sit at this late hour?”
The federal soldiers who drove them had pale faces and remained silent, like statues.
There was cold sweat rolling down their foreheads, showing their inner tension.
