"So that’s how it is."
Chen Mang squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at the pitch-black swamp in front of him. He finally understood why no one had ventured to this resource area. The high-grade resource mine was right in the center of the swamp, and the control console screen also showed that the swamp was extremely corrosive to both the energy shield and armor.
The lower the level, the faster the corrosion.
And those monsters lived in these swamps. Accompanied by the continuous alerts from the Target Detection Radar, a dozen red dots had already begun to rush towards the Fixed Star Train parked at the swamp’s edge.
"The emitted toxins and swamp are extremely corrosive to the train, corroding faster at lower levels, and this place prohibits flight and digging."
It’s not quite an Adventure Map, but rather a high-grade resource mine with harsh extraction conditions.
Others couldn’t go, but he could.
The Level 5 Supermodel Effect of his Wagon Steel Armor was immune to corrosion from liquids, mists, and swamps, allowing smooth passage. The Wind-Fire Wheel couldn’t reach here, but specialized wheels like tracks were necessary. However, he had spider legs, which could also pass smoothly.
Though the spider legs didn’t have corrosion resistance.
But with a high level, a full Level 13, the corrosion rate was exceedingly slow. Even at the point of corrosion, the "Mechanical Nanospiders" could quickly repair it!
Chen Mang glanced at the information on the control console panel and then at the red dots rapidly moving towards the train on the Target Detection Screen. He suddenly laughed, "It’s just like Heaven’s Promised Land for me."
This land should be his, and can only be his.
With a roar, over a dozen crocodiles suddenly burst out from the swamp, charging straight towards the Fixed Star Train with terrifying momentum. Car 12 was already prepared, and 8 "Continuous Bed Crossbows" were raised by the lift platform.
Locked by the Train Assistance AI.
Several long crossbows were fired, nearly all hitting their mark, with a hit rate of 96%. Almost instantly, three Level 3 crocodiles were hit in the eyes and fell immediately, while the remaining crocodiles, enduring the pain, rushed towards the train!
A Level 4 crocodile, charging the fastest, roared as it leaped into the air, raising its paw to strike!
With a massive collision sound, the paw broke.
Another paw strike, and the other paw broke too.
One more bite and all the teeth were gone.
Unarmed, the crocodile looked at its pile of broken teeth on the ground, then looked at the intact armor in front of it, a flash of bewilderment appeared in its eyes, and it instinctively glanced back at the two Level 5 crocodiles.
But then, the next moment!
Car blades flowing with electricity extended from both sides of the car and began to rotate rapidly. Almost in an instant, they saw several close-by Level 4 crocodiles sliced in half, while other crocodiles were injured and fled.
The four Three-legged Cat Heavy Machine Guns mounted on the wagon also locked onto the two fleeing Level 5 crocodiles and the remaining crocodiles. As the dull and piercing gunfire sounded, a metal storm covered them immediately.
The battle lasted only a few seconds.
The Fixed Star Train, sitting like an iron dragon at the edge of the swamp, remained as steady as a tiger throughout. In almost the blink of an eye, the local crocodile bully of this swamp was cleared away.
The "Powerful Magnet" mounted on the train’s front flashed a white light, absorbing all the dropped items into the carriage.
"What a bunch of useless rabble."
Chen Mang looked out at the crowd of monster corpses and exhaled with a sense of reflection, "They underestimated me as the little brat who went to Kunlun Mountain years ago?"

Even if he didn’t take any offensive measures and just slept here tonight, these monsters couldn’t do anything to him, they couldn’t break through his defense at all.
Under the same quality, firepower accessories also wield different power.
For example, the power of "car blades" far exceeds that of "Continuous Bed Crossbows," mainly because the latter is a long-range attack, which will certainly have its drawbacks. It’s already extremely rare among white accessories to have a long-range attack, so naturally, its power isn’t immense.
Unlike the car blades, their performance just now was indeed remarkable.
At high-speed operation, even Level 4 creatures must steer clear.
This is the benefit brought by upgrading the armor!
In the past, when he went to the Kunlun Mountain area, the car blades were also Level 10, but he had to run every time he saw a monster, mainly because his armor level was too low. By the time his car blades could harm the monsters, his vehicle was probably already smashed in two.
Only with sufficiently high defense could he free up his hands for unrestrained attacks.
The heavy machine gun bullet production line’s Supermodel Effect has twofold: the bullets produced carry split and armor-piercing effects, with the price unchanged.
A Level 5 bullet costs 50 units of copper ore per round.
He just consumed over four hundred rounds, amounting to 20,000 units of copper ore, which is trivial compared to the copper ore stored within the train. But the power was indeed extremely impressive, with each bullet splitting into three in midair, and each split bullet also carrying an armor-piercing effect.
In almost an instant.
They shattered the scales on the Level 5 crocodiles and the bullets shot into their bodies.
Despite being Level 5.
These two Level 5 crocodiles, under his Level 5 bullets, were melted away like snow mountains, not at all in the same league.
Chen Mang, feeling satisfied, switched to "Spider Legs," pushed the control lever, aiming directly at the depths of the swamp, as if he only spoke of slaughtering Kunlun Mountain in the past for this moment. He developed himself so long for the purpose of not running away in panic when facing monsters.
The alarm sound echoed inside the carriage.
"Detected external toxic gas infiltrating into the train... Central air conditioning fresh air intake is closing... disconnecting... Oxygen Generator starting operation..."
Under the control of the Train Assistance AI, several accessories within the train simultaneously began to operate, preventing external toxic gases from entering the inside of the train. The rapidly working Oxygen Generator also ensured the train had sufficient oxygen.
Indeed, the 10-level Supermodel Effect of the central air conditioning is quite handy, just like now.
He suddenly faintly grasped some of the underlying logic of this world.
After being bitten by a Seven-step Snake, within seven steps there’s bound to be an antidote.
In the "Foul Swamp" exists an extremely dense high-grade resource mine, but one must have the central air conditioning raised to Level 10, armor to Level 5, and special wheels to enter.
And just beside it is the Kunlun Mountain area.
After figuring out how to obtain enough Murphy Stone, he could enter the swamp, and the high-grade resource mine within the swamp would be the reward.
The logic seems to be exactly that.
Has stepped outside the five elements.
The train successfully arrived at the swamp center, facing a barren land surrounded by the swamp. In this area, there was no toxic mist, and the control console showed the air quality was all normal, with no toxic mist drifting to this region.
There lay quietly 3 Level 2 iron mines and 2 Level 2 copper mines, like shy brides with red veils waiting for him to unveil them.
Chen Mang jumped off the train, gazed at this scene, and smiled with satisfaction. The sun had just risen, and the morning was indeed the right time to work.
Good luck indeed blesses everyone who works hard.
After taking a deep breath, he picked up the intercom and shouted loud: "Get to work!"
Several wagon doors were violently pulled open from inside, and countless train residents, carrying pickaxes, jumped down from the train, rushing excitedly towards the mining area!
"Stupid humans, stop crowding me!"
Doba, who had just jumped out of the wagon without action, was squeezed aside by the train residents jumping out in a swarm, couldn’t help but angrily curse.
"You stupid humans, what are you trying to do!!"
