Chapter 48 - 48 False Alarm
48 False Alarm
“I have good news for everyone. The train will arrive on time in ten minutes.”
After arriving at the train battle, the staff of the City Lord Manor told Mu Xuan and the others about the arrival time, making Mu Xuan speechless. When did arriving on time become good news?!
However, when he thought of the current era where demon beasts wreaked havoc, it was really good news that the train could arrive on time. It meant that this train had a safe journey.
After checking the tickets, entering the venue, and getting on the train, it was already twenty minutes later. Mu Xuan and more than 100 people successfully got on the train and the train began to move.
Beside Mu Xuan was Chu Lingjun, the second-generation heir of the imperial family. Mu Xuan realized that this guy’s personality was quite good. Although the other party lost to him, Chu Lingjun didn’t have any resentment or hatred. It was as if he was very calm about his failure.
He looked at Mu Xuan and suddenly said, “Mu Xuan, I heard that you’re preparing to apply for Eternal Academy?”
Mu Xuan nodded and said, “Of course. Only by going to Eternal Academy can I improve myself in the shortest time possible.”
Chu Lingjun said thoughtfully, “No wonder your beasts improved so quickly…”
“…” Mu Xuan sweated. He really wanted to say, “Big Brother, I improved quickly because I cheated. If you imitate me, you might just end up failing.”
Then, Chu Lingjun said seriously, “I’m also preparing to apply for Eternal Academy!”
Originally, Chu Lingjun was prepared to go to the Imperial Capital Academy. After all, the Imperial Capital Academy had two large mystic realms, five medium-sized mystic realms, and dozens of small mystic realms. It had a huge advantage and was safe.
However, from the looks of it now, the safety also meant that the risk was low, so the benefits were naturally low!
Mu Xuan was about to explain his situation when the train suddenly shook. Everyone in the car was shocked.
Mu Xuan had a bad feeling. “Damn, could it be that my protagonist halo has appeared again? It shouldn’t be that bad…”
Just as this thought was suppressed, the steel plates on both sides of the carriage suddenly dropped, emitting a regular clanging sound. This also meant that the entire train had officially entered combat mode!
As expected, the guards in the carriage had already taken out their weapons in an orderly manner. The beast tamers also summoned their beasts, looking like they were prepared to risk their lives!
The staff from the main residence sent by Golden Flower City acted as the liaison. They quickly figured out that a beast tide had broken out in Interconnection City, which they passed…
When they suddenly heard about the beast tide, everyone’s expressions changed. They also thought of the beast tide in Golden Flower City that had just erupted a few days ago.
“Officer Qian, is the situation serious?” Mu Xuan asked.
Officer Qian, who was also a staff member sent by Golden Flower City, was in charge of bringing Mu Xuan and the others to Hang City. Officer Qian was in his thirties and was also a commander-level beast tamer. He shook his head and said, “The conductor told me that the passengers would not need to worry. Just stay in the carriage in peace. I reckon that soon…”
As soon as Officer Qian finished speaking, a terrifying roar suddenly came from afar. “Roar…” The entire train immediately felt a tremor. Not to mention the ordinary people on the train, even Mu Xuan and the other beast tamers felt their hearts palpitate.
“Beast king-level demon beast!”
Everyone’s hearts suddenly sank, and a bad feeling appeared. Even beast king-level demon beasts had appeared. The scale of this beast tide was definitely not small.
Then, Mu Xuan felt the train under his feet suddenly tremble and collapse forward. The train had suddenly braked.
“Attention, passengers. Attention, passengers. The train is about to face a beast tide attack. Passengers, please don’t walk around and don’t panic. Our K9111 train is strong enough to protect everyone!”
“Attention, passengers…”
“Attention, passengers…”
The three consecutive broadcasts made many people on the train panic. However, steel plates had already been dropped on both sides of the train. No one knew what the outside world looked like.
“Ruoxue, what should we do? Will we be fine?” Chen Yunxi panicked.
Ning Ruoxue’s expression was calm as she said indifferently, “Don’t worry, it’s impossible for the beast tide to break through the train’s defense so quickly. A train has at least one large-caliber cannon, enough to heavily injure beast king-level demon beasts. There are also overlord-level and commander-level beast tamers guarding it, not to mention that we…”
At this moment, Chu Lingjun suddenly sighed and said, “I’m not worried that the beast tide will attack the train. What I’m more worried about is that if we’re blocked here, we definitely won’t be able to make it for the provincial mystic realm examination tomorrow!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions changed. They had long understood the situation of the examination mystic realm controlled by the Provincial Beast Taming Bureau. It was said that there were many demon beasts with powerful bloodlines inside, as well as precious resources specially placed by the big shots of the Bureau. If they missed this mystic realm, they would definitely suffer heavy losses!
Even Officer Qian’s expression changed. If the candidates didn’t rush to Hang City to take the exam, their Golden Flower City’s results would all be judged to be zero. It would be a huge loss for Golden Flower City.
“I’ll go find the conductor to continue understanding the situation!” Officer Qian hurriedly ran towards the front of the train.
Mu Xuan was relatively calm. At most, he would get off the train and rush into Interconnection City to find a car to go to Hang City. Interconnection City was at most two hours away from Hang City. With his overlord-level beast tamer strength, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to reach Hang City safely.
But not long after, something strange happened. The beast tide suddenly retreated, confusing everyone on the train.
About an hour later, the train continued to drive towards Hang City…
No one knew that not long after the train left, a few figures in black appeared on the original valley.
“Why did we give up on the plan to attack Interconnection City? They can’t hold on much longer!” someone whispered.
“That’s right. Once we break through Interconnection City, it will definitely bring a huge shock to the Dragon Country! We can also plunder countless resources…”
“That’s right. All the work we’ve done to break into Interconnection City is in vain…”
“There’s no better opportunity than today!”
“Is there something wrong with that train?”
Just as everyone was discussing at once, a tall figure said indifferently, “Because I sensed the aura of a beast king-level beast tamer on that train!”
“What, a beast king-level beast tamer? How is this possible?!”
The tall figure continued, “That train is carrying young genius beast tamers from Golden Flower City, Qu State City, and the other cities. It’s not impossible for them to send a beast king-level beast tamer to escort it!”
“If this beast king-level beast tamer participates, not only will it be difficult to break through Interconnection City, but I’m afraid even you and I won’t be able to escape!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the black-clothed people fell silent. They really couldn’t deal with a beast king-level beast tamer.
Almost two hours later, the train safely arrived at Hang City Station. Mu Xuan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. However, he had another feeling about the dangers of this world…
