Chapter 411: The Worm Train Is All Yours! Testing Mental Resistance!

Seeing the system reward, Su Yang was slightly surprised.

A wide-area buff skill is extremely rare.

Su Yang had never seen one himself, only read about them in books.

Fierce beasts can be divided into social and solitary types.

Among social fierce beasts, a leader often emerges.

This leader holds command over the entire beast pack.

For example, the Black Gold Armored Spider packs, Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros packs, and Magic Gold Hunting Wolf packs.

But these leaders' authority exists only within their own species.

Just as the alpha wolf in a Magic Gold Hunting Wolf pack cannot lead a Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros pack.

Yet in the World of Fierce Beasts, occasionally some exceptionally gifted and ambitious fierce beasts appear.

They don't just seize leadership within their own species—they even conquer other kinds of fierce beasts, becoming kings who rule over multiple species!

Humans refer to such beasts as Beasts Kings or Beasts Emperors!

Throughout history, every appearance of a Beast King or Beast Emperor has been accompanied by bloody wars between fierce beasts and between fierce beasts and humans.

Beast King-level and Emperor-level fierce beasts are merely evaluations of strength.

But Beasts King and Beasts Emperor describe status.

The wide-area buff skill the system plans to reward Su Yang with typically appears on those historical Beasts Kings and Beasts Emperors.

This skill may be weak in one-on-one combat.

But when coordinated with large-scale military operations, it can significantly elevate the entire allied force's combat effectiveness.

If used well, it might even turn the tide of an entire battle.

Su Yang is no longer alone—he has over a hundred elite subordinates under him.

If he gains a similar skill, he can elevate his squad's collective strength by a step.

And even if he were alone, this skill would still be extremely useful to him.

After all, he has several pet beasts!

Three days passed quickly; at 8 a. m., Su Yang led over fifty members of the Fourteenth Emergency Squad to the train station.

Today's train station was extremely quiet.

Almost no passengers could be seen.

Only a dozen or so station staff were diligently cleaning.

Although Wucheng is a central city in the southwest, worm trains don't depart every day.

Because the military places such high importance on this mission, they don't need to wait for trains.

Wang Hong's Demon Worm had already been loaded with supplies and was waiting at the station yesterday!

As soon as the Fourteenth Emergency Squad arrived, station crew members arranged for the squad members to board.

Su Yang led Liu Mengyun straight into Carriage One.

Carriage One was very spacious, with a large round table placed inside.

On the table sat many fruits, and two beautiful female crew members stood nearby, ready to take orders.

Qu Fei, Hou Yongning, Zhou Jiayun, and Wang Hong were all seated, and they greeted Su Yang as he entered.

After the last meeting, Su Yang had met with the three Star-Rank Beast Tamers, and they got along well.

The only one absent then was still Wang Hong.

As logistics manager, his work began right after the meeting ended.

All three Star-Rank Beast Tamers were carefully selected by Yao Xing.

Besides possessing Star-Rank spirit-type pet beasts that wouldn't fall too far behind Shoushen Sect experts in combat, they were all Yao Xing's trusted confidants!

Everyone knew how important this mission was.

Once all emergency squad members had boarded, the Demon Worm began running along the tracks on its countless short legs, and everyone on board felt the jolting.

Qu Fei chuckled: "Wang Hong, your Demon Worm's ride is shaky—it's bumpy!"

Wang Hong sighed: "Brother Qu, stop teasing me. All Demon Worms are like this. Mine's already quite stable—unless I lower the speed!"

"Then forget it—we're in a hurry!" Qu Fei shook his head, sounding nostalgic. "Come to think of it, I haven't ridden a Demon Worm in years!"

Su Yang also said: "Come to think of it, the last time I came to Wucheng, I rode this same Demon Worm!"

Wang Hong asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Back then, I'd just left Qixing City and came to Wucheng for a martial arts competition. At the Shangqing Station, we even encountered a Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly siege!" Su Yang smiled. "At the time, Trainmaster Wang had entered Shangqing City to scout the situation inside!"

"You're the captain now—just call me Wang Hong!" Wang Hong laughed. "Calling me Trainmaster feels strange. Now that you've taken over Car 1056, you're more like the trainmaster than I am… Come to think of it, we really do have a connection!"

"We really do have a connection!"

Wang Hong looked at the young Su Yang and couldn't help asking: "By the way, Captain Su, you haven't been with the Southwest Military for long, have you?"

Su Yang nodded: "About half a year."

Wang Hong whispered: "May I ask how old you are, Captain Su?"

Qu Fei, Hou Yongning, Zhou Jiayun, and Liu Mengyun all turned toward the train window at the same time.

As if the scenery outside the window were more beautiful!
