Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 330 Disassembling the Loot

Su Li rubbed her abdomen; the cramping sensation in her meridians had subsided considerably. Such a superhuman skill as the solar eclipse still placed too much strain on her body.

Looking around and seeing that there was no other noise besides the sound of rain, he clapped his hands and said, "Let's organize the spoils and then go back to rest. Sophia and Coco, are you alright on duty?"

"No problem." "Understood."

After the two women agreed, the team walked towards the dead monsters.

The first one to deal with is the Titan Eagle, which is relatively far away.

Su Li and the others walked to the Titan Eagle's corpse. Thanks to the acid rain, a putrid stench could now be smelled from the body, and even the gas masks couldn't mask the foul odor.

Su Li looked around and shook her head. "Let's pull out the branches first, and then use the system to decompose and recycle them directly."

The Titan Eagle's body was severely damaged in the battle; its most valuable parts were its talons, eyes, and the outer ring of its wings. However, its eyes had been corroded by acid rain, significantly reducing their quality, and its feathers were also badly damaged in the fight. The only part that remained relatively intact was its pair of sharp talons.

Sophia walked to the Titan Eagle's corpse and activated the system's decomposition technique.

[Obtained 2 Eagle Eye Cores, 1 Titan Eagle Claw, 2 Titan Eagle Wing Bones, 10 Titan Eagle Hard Flight Feathers, 1 Titan Eagle Crystal Core, and 20 Titan Eagle Meat]

"Overall, it was a good deal. Although we lost some meat, we gained more complete materials." Su Li nodded, satisfied with the result.

Next, Su Li walked to the branch stuck in the Titan Eagle's body and examined it carefully: "This branch has completely reached the level of black iron grade wood. Let's not break it down, we'll chop it up with an axe and recycle it."

Using an axe to chop wood and directly dismantling it are two different processing methods in the system. Chopping wood with an axe follows the material gathering rules and yields only wood; while direct dismantling follows the monster gathering rules and may yield monster materials such as treant essence. Since Su Li and her group don't currently lack monster materials, they chose to chop wood with an axe to recycle it.

After dealing with the Titan Eagle, the team returned to the corpses of the Mountain Giant and the Shadow Panther. Using the System Disintegration Technique again, they obtained the following loot:

[Obtained 5 Mountain Giant Leather, 1 Mountain Giant's Acute Angle, and 6 Giant Bones]

[Obtain a complete leopard pelt of the Forest Shadow Leopard, 3 Forest Shadow Leopard claws, 2 Forest Shadow Leopard meats, and 11 pieces of Acidic Poison Meat]

Finally, Zuli and his companions picked up the tree heart of the tree person.

The heart of a tree that nurtures people and flourishes.

The acid rain continued to fall, causing considerable damage to the treant's corpse. Su Li and his companions quickly chopped the corpse into timber with axes. Ordinary black iron-grade trees typically yield only one piece of black iron-grade material per tree, but this lush treant was a treasure trove. After a flurry of activity, Su Li recovered 119 units of black iron-grade timber from the treant's corpse, immediately satisfying their needs.

After gathering all the materials, Zuli and his group returned to the train. Although the train's exterior was damaged, the coating proved highly effective, successfully preventing corrosion from acid rain. After a half-day rest, and with their hearts full, Zuli and Ivan rallied and prepared to head to the lair of the silver-level monster in search of the true treasure.

"Come, Ember." Ivan waved his hand, summoning his mount, Ember.

Ember Shadow leaped out of the mount space, stepped into the acid rain, snorted, and flames roared up on its body, using the acid rain as fuel.

"Thank you for your help, Ember Shadow." Ivan patted Ember Shadow's neck, then mounted his horse. Su Li followed suit, jumping up and sitting behind Ivan.

The giant and the shadow leopard raced through the battle, leaving clear footprints. The two men and their horse followed the tracks towards the monster's lair. The Shadow Demon, a silver-rank monster, was extremely fast, reaching speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour on flat ground. Although the muddy ground limited its speed, it was still much faster than walking.

After traveling for more than three hours, Su Li and Ivan finally arrived at a forest. This forest stubbornly survived the acid rain, with many black iron-grade trees relying on their own unique abilities to resist its corrosive effects. Many black iron-grade monsters were taking shelter under the trees from the rain.

In the heart of the forest, Zuli and his companions discovered a huge puddle filled with broken roots and a large amount of acid.

Beside the puddle, there remained a half-eaten monster.

Su Li looked around and said, "This should be where the Tree People live. As expected of the Flourishing Tree People, this place is really nice, with black iron-level trees everywhere."

Suli and Ivan dismounted, and Jinying instantly slipped into the mount space, not wanting to stay in this acid rain environment for even a moment longer.

The two walked to the puddle. Looking down from above, there was a small platform in the center of the puddle, with six boxes on it.

Su Li quickly glanced at them and said with some regret, "They're all silver-level treasure chests."

In all the time he'd played the game, he'd only encountered a Gold-level treasure chest once, and it was from that Gold-level chest that he obtained the ultimate prize: the Theory of Basic Elements.

However, at this stage, gold chests are just that rare. The probability of encountering a gold chest is about the same as the probability of encountering a gold monster. Gold chests will become more common in the 2.0 version of the world.

Su Li swung the Moon Wheel Sword at the acid a few times, and the released moon wheel froze the acid.

Then the two of them jumped down, and Ivan walked to the treasure chest and began to open it.

This time, the treasure chests are two silver-level chests, a Flourishing Treant's Nest Chest and a Furniture Chest, and a Titan Eagle's Nest Chest and a Furniture Chest.

After wandering for a period of time, the treasure chests belonging to 'wandering' monsters like Titan Eagles and Shadow Panthers will respawn in their respective lair.

The Titan Eagle died fighting the Treants, so its treasure chest spawned in the Treants' lair. If you kill the Titan Eagle in the wild, it will usually spawn at the nearest place the Titan Eagle landed.
