Li Xiu was riding on the locomotive, turned his head to look at the platform and the lady and gentleman disappearing, then turned back and looked forward.

The train continued to move forward and passed several stations. Perhaps because there were no jade dolls on the train, the train did not stop when passing the platform.

Li Xiu kept looking at the platforms, but he didn't find any difference between them. It seemed that every platform looked the same, and he didn't know where they led to.

He didn't know whether he should get off the train or not, and finally chose not to get off and continued riding the train forward.

The train moved forward silently. I hadn't seen the platform for a long time. It seemed that there was nothing in the world except this endless tunnel.

Li Xiu keenly discovered that the green light of the Emerald Tunnel in front seemed to be getting weaker, and it was getting darker and darker in front. The two beams of light emitted by the two headlights in front of the locomotive shone into the darkness in front, and only a section in front of the train could be seen. Anything farther away seemed to be swallowed by a dark monster and disappeared.

The little train continued to move forward in the darkness. Li Xiu couldn't even see the Emerald Tunnel. There was endless darkness all around, making Li Xiu feel as if the little train was flying in the dark night sky.

"Where is this little train going?" Li Xiu was extremely confused and couldn't imagine where the little train was going.

After a long time, Li Xiu finally saw a little light in the darkness, and soon Li Xiu discovered that the place where the light was was a station.

After the train approached the station, it gradually stopped. Li Xiu discovered that this Jade Station seemed to be the end point. The place where the train stopped seemed like a garage. Except for the door used to come in, there was no other exit.

Seeing that the train had stopped moving, Li Xiu had no choice but to get off the train and walk out of the empty garage.

Li Xiu looked around the entire station. In addition to the garage, there was a low building next to the station that looked like a business office. Other than that, there was the platform and the lights hanging on it.

There was nothing in the garage except the little train. The door of the building, which looked like a business office, was closed, and no one knew if there was anything inside.

The door of this business hall is only one meter high, and there is no one taller than Li Xiu in the entire building. It is obviously not a place for humans to enter.

"Why isn't there even a single word here? Otherwise, I would know where this place is." Li Xiu looked around the station in the dark and didn't find anything resembling words.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xiu squatted down and tried to push open the small door of the business hall.

The small door opened easily without any resistance. Li Xiu tilted his head and looked inside, only to see that there was indeed a counter and a small window similar to a ticket office.

Unfortunately, there was no uniformed female ticket seller inside the window.

Li Xiu had sharp eyes and noticed that there were two jade plates thrown on the counter. Unfortunately, the side of the jade plates facing upwards was bare.

Li Xiu summoned the Ice Soul Siren with a thought, let it float in through the small door, and took the two jade plates from the counter.

The process went smoothly and nothing went wrong. After the Ice Soul Siren came out, it threw two jade plates into Li Xiu's hands.

Li Xiu took the plaques and looked at them carefully. Unexpectedly, there were magic words engraved on the other side of the two jade plaques.

The magic runes engraved on the two signs were slightly different, but fortunately, they were both magic runes that Li Xiu recognized.

One of the signs says Xingfu Hometown Station, and the other sign says the terminal station.

"Could these two brands be tickets for the train?" Li Xiu turned them over and over and studied them carefully, but apart from these magic words, there were no other patterns or words on the brands.

"I've been to the Xingfu Hometown Station before. It's a scam. What is this terminal station? Will it be the exit of the tunnel?" Li Xiu thought while holding the sign.

Generally speaking, there should be two terminal stations. This station should be the terminal station at one end, but it is not clear where the terminal station at the other end is.

If these two jade brands are really tickets, then it is hard to say whether the ticket for the final stop refers to this terminal or the other terminal.

Li Xiu also had no idea whether the ticket was useful or not, and if so, how to use it.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have made the little train mute. At least I could have asked it something." Li Zhengzheng was thinking when he suddenly heard the familiar whistle again.

The small train that had driven into the garage before actually drove out of the garage again.

What surprised Li Xiu was that the alarm light that had been damaged by his longevity chopsticks had returned to normal and was flashing on and off.

"Dear passengers, please take note. The special bus from the terminal to Guangyin Avenue is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet boarded please do so as soon as possible..." The strange mechanical voice sounded again.

Li Xiu didn't care about anything else and quickly got back on the train.

The little train slowly drove out of the station, and gradually moved away from the strange station with the sound of the whistle.

Judging from the direction the train is heading, it should be the same way we came here. However, the space here is very strange. Although the direction is correct, it may not be the same way we came here.

Li Xiu rode the train in the darkness. After a while, the darkness around him gradually faded away, but the scene he saw was still the emerald tunnel.

But this time Li Xiu did not see those platforms. The train had not been running in the Emerald Tunnel for long before the tunnel disappeared, as if it had come out of a mountain tunnel. Li Xiu only felt his eyes brighten, the sea was vast, the sky was bright, and the sun was shining, with birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere around him.

Bang!

Li Xiu sat down on the ground, and the small train he was riding underneath disappeared.

Li Xiu quickly stood up and looked around, only to find that this was a grassy slope covered with green grass and small flowers of various colors. He could see very far away, but apart from a few small trees occasionally, he could not see any tall mountains, let alone any emerald tunnel.

"Where is this place?" Li Xiu didn't recognize this place, at least he had definitely never been here before.

The environment here is also different from that of the Emerald Castle. Even if we are still inside the Emerald Gate, we should be far away from the Emerald Castle.

Li Xiu looked down and found a low stone tablet at his feet. The stone tablet had been severely weathered by wind and sun, and it was impossible to tell whether there was any writing on it before. The stone surface was full of potholes.

Li Xiu squatted down and studied it for a while, but didn't find anything special about the stone tablet.

While studying the stone tablet, I suddenly heard a sonic boom in the air. Looking up, I saw a huge golden magic bird flying at supersonic speed in the sky. It flew past in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiu was slightly startled. "Could it be that this is no longer the Emerald Gate? The demons there should all have emerald bodies."

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of light energy explosion and the roar of humans in the distance.

Li Xiu quickly summoned the pink nightmare and headed towards the direction where the voice came from.

After a while, Li Xiu arrived near the battlefield and found several trial-takers fighting a group of evil spirits.

When Li Xiu saw those trial-takers, he couldn't help but be stunned, because those trial-takers were obviously not from Changshengtian, and one of them was someone he knew.

"Why is Shalai here?" Li Xiu realized that he might really no longer be in the trial ground at the Emerald Gate.

Shalai was in Tyro City. The trial site he entered should be near Tyro City, and it was unknown how far away from the trial gate of Changshengtian.

"Could it be that the little train can take people through the trial grounds and reach different areas?" Li Xiu wondered secretly in his heart.

Over there, Shalai and several other trial-takers were fighting a group of wolf-like demons.

The levels of those monsters are very low, probably around B-level, and the quality is not high either. There are only one or two colorful monsters.

It's just that the number is relatively large, and the levels of those trial-takers themselves are not high. Except for two trial-takers who have reached S-level, the others probably don't even have A-level level.

Shalai is already an S-level trial-taker, and with his rich combat experience, he is more than capable of killing those evil spirits.

"Shalai is a very capable guy." Seeing that they did not need help, Li Xiu did not go over. He watched from a distance for a while, and only walked over after they killed all the evil spirits.

When the trial-takers noticed Li Xiu coming, they immediately looked at him warily, and some even controlled evil spirits to block the way.

When Sha Lai saw Li Xiu, he was overjoyed and ran over.

"Why are you here?" Shalai ran to Li Xiu and asked in surprise.

"What's the current situation in Taylor City?" Li Xiu did not answer this question because he himself didn't know why he was here.

"Don't mention it. The situation is getting worse and worse. Many residents of Tyro City have fled to other cities. Prices are soaring. Food and daily necessities are in serious shortage. Even food and clothing are a problem. Kunsha has done his best, but these problems cannot be solved overnight." Shalai sighed and said, "I estimate that it won't be long before Tyro City will be completely finished."

The two chatted about some things in Tyro City. When the trial participants there saw that Shalai knew Li Xiu, they all came over.

"Shalai, is this your friend? Why didn't you tell us in advance that you had a friend here?" The person who spoke was another S-level trial-taker, and the other trial-taker were obviously led by him.

"Friends I met unexpectedly." Shalai said, pointing at them and said, "Li Xiu, let me introduce you to these brothers from the Bailing Gem Hunter Group. The people in Tyro City really didn't have the money to let me enter the trial ground, so I had no choice but to accept their employment and follow them into the trial ground."

Li Xiu saw that the people from the Bailing Gem Hunter Group were wary of him, so he said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone. I just happened to pass by here and will leave soon. I won't affect you."

They obviously didn't know Li Xiu, and Li Xiu's words could not dispel their doubts. They were just polite and perfunctory.

"Shalai, I'm lost. How do I get back from here?" Li Xiu was too lazy to explain so much, so he looked at Shalai and asked.

"It's really strange that you got lost." Shalai pointed in a direction and said, "Go over there. It's about 40 to 60 miles and you will see the town we came from."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the town and we'll talk when you come out." Li Xiu said as he prepared to leave.

Suddenly, there was another loud explosion in the sky. Everyone looked up. Li Xiu also looked over and found that the big golden bird he had seen before flew over and swooped down from the sky. With its claws gleaming with magic light, it grabbed a demon corpse on the ground.

The members of the Bailing Gem Hunter Group immediately summoned out Qi and Mo Ling to try to stop the golden bird from taking their spoils.

But the golden bird was obviously extraordinary. Wherever its claws reached, it tore the body of a demon into pieces.

It flapped its wings and knocked away the symbiotic bond that was coming towards it. The symbiotic bonds of several trial-takers fell out of their hands, and they couldn't stand steadily and retreated repeatedly, with their knuckles torn and bleeding.

Only the S-level middle-aged man's long sword was not knocked away, but his strength was obviously not as good as that of the golden bird, and he took several steps back before he could steady himself.

Although the golden bird repelled them, it was unable to catch the demon's corpse on the ground. It immediately became furious, and demonic light gushed out of its body. The golden light condensed into a pair of light wings and swooped down on them again.

"Chaoling!" The people of the Bailing Gem Hunter Group were all terrified. They did not have the ability to fight Chaoling.

Everyone was horrified as they saw the golden light blooming from the super spiritual bird and the wings transformed from the golden light shooting out feather arrows that were going to shoot them to death.

Suddenly, a red sword light flew through the air and directly pierced through the body of the super spiritual bird. The super spiritual bird, which was originally still showing its fangs and claws, fell from the sky, with no life left in its body and was already dead.

The red sword light flew around in the air and returned to Li Xiu. Everyone could then see clearly that it was a sword emitting red flames.

"Li Xiu, has your contract become super spiritual?" Shalai said to Li Xiu with envy on his face.

"It has been super spiritual for some time." Li Xiu said with a smile. The Fire Lotus Sword is more than super spiritual. It has already reached the twenty-four light-based meridians.

The people of the Bailing Gem Hunter Group then realized that Li Xiu was a super-spiritual level trial-taker with extremely powerful strength.

Being able to kill a super spirit demon with a single sword, this kind of strength is not comparable to that of an ordinary super spirit.

Li Xiu walked over and wanted to dig out the magic core of the golden bird, but saw the middle-aged man walking over and standing in front of him.

Sha Lai frowned and said, "Captain Jia, if it weren't for Li Xiu, you would all be dead. You don't still want the spoils, do you?"

The middle-aged man immediately explained: "Shalai, don't misunderstand me. The super spirit must belong to your friend. I just want to say a few words to your friend."

The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiu and said, "I am Jia Ding, the leader of the Bailing Gem Hunter Group. My name is Li Xiu. Could it be Li Xiu, the lord of the City of Light?"

"I am Li Xiu from the City of Light. I wonder if Captain Jia has any advice for me?" Li Xiu could see that Jia Ding must have something to say, and it was not as simple as just talking to him.

"City Lord Li, you are too polite. City Lord Li organized the Demon Spirit Competition to restore the reputation of trial-takers like us, and I admire you very much. With City Lord Li's achievements, we are far inferior to him. How can we teach him? But there is one thing I want to ask you." Jia Ding complimented.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu looked at Jia Ding and asked.

"I wonder if the city lord is willing to accept the job? As long as City Lord Li is willing to help, the price can be negotiated," said Jia Ding.

"Sorry, I have something else to do." Li Xiu refused directly. He was not in the mood to accept any employment now. He just wanted to find a way out as soon as possible.

And even if he was willing to be hired, a mere group of gem hunters probably couldn't afford to hire him.

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he was ready to leave. He didn't have the Eternal Lamp, so he could only go to the small town first to see if he could leave the trial site from there.

"Lord Li, as the lord of a city, you must not be interested in ordinary money. I wonder if you are interested in super-spiritual-level demon cubs?" Jia Ding seemed confident and continued.

"A super-spiritual-level demon cub?" Li Xiu was slightly stunned. A wild demon cub is quite rare, let alone a super-level demon cub.

"Yes." Jia Ding nodded and said, "To be honest, we found a nest of demon cubs before, but the place is too dangerous. We can't get those cubs with our hunter group alone, so we hired Sha Lai to help. But it's still unknown whether Sha Lai and I can get those demon cubs, and the risk is too great. If City Lord Li is willing to help, with your strength, it should be easy to get that nest of cubs. At that time, our group is willing to share those super spirit cubs with City Lord Li."

"Captain Jia, why didn't you tell me this when you hired me?" Shalai asked with a dark face.

"I'm sorry, those demon cubs are so precious that I didn't tell you because I was afraid the news would leak out in advance." Jadin explained.

"What do you mean by dividing it equally?" Li Xiu asked Jia Ding.

"There are six cubs in that litter. You, City Lord Li, get three, and our group gets three." After saying this, Jia Ding looked at Shalai and said, "Shalai, to express my apology, I will give you double the hiring fee we agreed on before."

"Captain Jia is so generous, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get those cubs?" Sha Lai snorted coldly.

"It's not easy. The terrain there is very steep, and there are demon parents guarding it, so it's not easy to get the cub. I was planning to try the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. If City Lord Li is willing to help, it won't be so troublesome." Jia Ding looked at Li Xiu and said, "What do you think, City Lord Li?"

"Then let's go and take a look." Li Xiu was still somewhat interested in the demon cub.
