Xu Anran gently put away the Vulture Bell. As if it had come to life, the Vulture Bell quickly shrank to the size of a pendant, and then floated lightly onto Xu Anran's bracelet, where it was firmly fastened.

Xu Anran looked up at the Ghost King, a giant two meters tall, dressed in ancient armor, his body emanating a black mist like ink, holding a black broadsword, his face ferocious, and he questioned Xu Anran in a booming voice who he was.

Upon hearing Xu Anran's reply, the Ghost King intended to attack her, but when he saw that Jiu Fengzhong had been subdued by Xu Anran, he immediately realized that this person's strength was unfathomable.

The Ghost King wasn't stupid. He knew that his goal for today was unlikely to be achieved, and that continuing the fight would be pointless. So, without any hesitation, he turned and fled like the wind. Seeing this, the other monsters also scattered like birds and beasts.

As the coffin of the last mourner remained in place, he stepped out, took a deep look at Xu Anran's earring, and then slowly left.

The laurel tree, having just been corrupted by the yin energy, now shimmered with a much dimmer golden light, barely flickering. Seeing that the strange creatures had all departed, Xu Anran turned to examine the tree more closely.

The laurel tree seemed to sense Xu Anran's gaze and trembled involuntarily. A childlike voice came from within, indicating that the laurel tree had developed consciousness.

It said to Xu Anran tremblingly, "Please don't kill me! I can give you a branch."

Xu Anran didn't intend to touch it, but seeing how scared it was, she wanted to tease it: "Why can't I kill you? You look very weak, and what use is a branch to me?"

"I cannot die. I am the last hope of this world. I was created from the last bit of spiritual energy in this world. Only I can resist the spread of the eerie yin energy. Only when I grow up can humanity have the power to truly resist this disaster."

The laurel tree explained, "I'm still young. Originally, I would have become much stronger after my consciousness was born, and the golden light could have surrounded the entire Kunlun Mountains. In that case, a safe base for humans could have been established here. But now I'm being corrupted by Yin energy, so I can only wait until I recover."

At this point, it couldn't help but sigh, its voice childish and somewhat like a child pretending to be an adult: "Also, don't underestimate my branches, they're very powerful. My branches can resist yin energy, and absorbing them can improve a person's constitution, not only prolonging life but also enhancing magical power. Ordinary strange things simply can't get into your body."

Xu Anran laughed and said, "Okay then, why don't I just pull the whole thing out of you!"

The laurel tree trembled and begged for mercy in fear. Seeing how scared it was, Xu Anran quickly comforted it, "Don't be afraid, I was just teasing you. I'm leaving now. Grow up well!"

Taking the laurel branch from the tree and bidding it farewell, Xu Anran turned to leave.

She happened to see Ao Zipeng and Wang Zheng, and after nodding to them, she left.

Wang Zheng asked Ao Zipeng, who was standing next to him, "Who exactly is she?"

"I don't know either. We just met them before and they seemed really impressive, so we wanted to recruit them into our team. But now it seems like they're too good for our team," Ao Zipeng sighed regretfully.

Along the way, Su Shuzhi, who had been nearby, kept praising Xu Anran's abilities and expressed his willingness to follow her in the future.

Xu Anran stopped and looked at Su Shuzhi. At this moment, the ghost bride came out of the earring and told Xu Anran that she had to leave for a while.

After the ghost bride left, Xu Anran asked Su Shuzhi, "Didn't you want freedom? Why are you following me again?"

Su Shuzhi said matter-of-factly, "When I was captured, I would have died long ago if you hadn't held off the Ghost Buddha. So, you saved me too. I said I would team up with whoever saves me."

Seeing that Xu Anran was about to speak, he quickly interrupted her and continued, "Besides, you're so powerful, isn't it only natural that I want to follow you? And don't underestimate me just because I'm not much in this world. I'm actually quite powerful, it's just that I don't have any puppets left now. You'll see when we get to another world. If you don't believe me, go to the waiting room of the high-class train station and ask around. I still have some reputation."

Xu Anran waited until he finally finished speaking before speaking: "I do have something I need your help with. As for whether you can team up with me in the future, we'll see how you perform when we get back."

"Okay, don't worry, I do have some skills. Is there anything I can help you with?" Seeing a glimmer of hope, Su Shuzhi quickly tried to prove himself.

Xu Anran said, "I'm going to the waiting room for the high-speed train to buy a ticket to go to another world. You'll come with me then."

"no problem!"

After they finished speaking, the two waited for the ghost bride to return so they could teleport away together.

A while later, the ghost bride arrived, carrying a coffin. She had just met with the mourning ghost; the two ghosts had known each other for a long time and shared a deep bond. The ghost bride told the mourning ghost that she would be going to another world with Xu Anran.

Upon hearing this, the mourning ghost remained silent for a long time before finally asking the bride ghost if he could also leave with her. The bride ghost knew him quite well, so she brought him here to consult Xu Anran's opinion.

After hearing this, Xu Anran gently shook her head: "I can't accept every one who comes. How about this, you two see if he's okay?" The bride ghost and the mourning ghost both turned their gazes to Su Shuzhi, who was standing to the side.

The ghost bride said, "I think he's not bad either. He's handsome and I've heard he's quite famous. You were always bullied in your life, so finding someone like him isn't bad."

Listening to the bride ghost's soft whispers in his ear, the mourning ghost thought for a moment and felt it was quite appropriate. So he signed a contract with Su Shuzhi and did not follow him as arrogantly as the bride ghost had done before, causing others to be unable to bear his yin energy.

The wailing ghost was quite authentic; it possessed a jade pendant that Su Shuzhi always carried.

And so, the two men and the two ghosts set off together and arrived at the waiting hall of the high-speed rail station.

At the same time, Luo Xi received a message with the ticket name: N82 Star S16 Train Designated World...

Upon receiving the message, Luo Xi acted decisively, quickly organizing the team members to assemble, purchasing train tickets according to the information received, and leading everyone onto the train to be transported away.

This is a wasteland world ravaged by a nuclear explosion, teeming with mutated beasts and humans. Food is extremely scarce, and human life is incredibly difficult.

After arriving, Luo Xi and the others first found a place to stay in this world.

Uncle Li asked her, "Are you sure this is the world?"

"That should be right. We'll wait for news from over there and then go check it out."
