The Star Sea Train continues to travel in the most stable direction in space.
However, at this time, the Xinghai Train was not as unruly as before. Driven by the owl, it also began to avoid the surrounding energy groups.
Although the Star Sea Train is not afraid of these energy groups due to its strength, the owl cannot judge whether there are some powerful "beings" behind these energy groups. In order to avoid being disturbed, it still chooses to take a silent detour.
However, the further forward, the more energy clusters are distributed.
Many times, only some cracks are still in an "empty" state.
Rolling and walking backwards, winding and snaking.
The Xinghai Train is like a roller coaster in an amusement park, twisting and spiraling at various incredible angles and shuttling through various gaps.
As the energy clusters become more densely distributed, the spatial stability in the void also increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If nothing unexpected happens, they are not far from the starting point.
But, just now.
The Xinghai train suddenly trembled and its movement slowed down significantly.
In the dome hall, Starworm did not feel the deceleration of the train, but he felt the sudden shaking in the hall.
"Your Excellency, Train Conductor..." Starworm's tone of voice was a bit urgent, because the last time the hall shook, they almost fell into a deep dream.
However, before he could finish speaking, the owl gently shook its head at him.
Signaling him to be silent.
When the owl shook its head, it kept looking upward, as if there was something in the direction above its head.
Starworm didn't know the reason, so he subconsciously followed its line of sight, but due to the obstruction of his field of vision, he couldn't see anything... He could only vaguely see a little bit of light above through the frosted frosted glass.
Glimmer?
No, in fact it's not a shimmer at all.
In the owl's field of vision, a crack suddenly opened in the void thousands of meters above.
The so-called light is actually the spark of energy that bursts out when the crack spreads.
This crack looked like a space crack, but it did not cause any spatial shock to the surroundings, as if there was a crack in the first place.
But the owl with its full field of vision could clearly see that this crack suddenly opened when the Star Sea Train drove directly underneath it.
This sudden change caused the owl to subconsciously slow down the train.
This is also the reason why the hall suddenly trembled just now.
The crack has not yet completely opened, and there is no energy fluctuation or pressure in the void, but there is already a sense of oppression in the owl's heart.
This kind of oppression does not come from the outside world, but comes from fear in the soul.
The starworm on the side didn't feel anything strange because he didn't know what was happening in the outside world; but the owl already felt stiff because of this "mental attitude".
Looking at the gradually tearing cracks, the feeling of fear in the owl's heart became more and more intense...
It even had a trace of hallucination in its mind.
No, it's not an illusion. The picture in my mind is the memory of its past.
In the first hundred years of its birth, it was the pet of an adventurer. That adventurer had his own adventure group and a group of partners who explored the unknown together.
However, one day when they were exploring the tomb of a lost king, they came close to a sleeping statue.
Unexpectedly, this statue is actually a sleeping gargoyle.
The breath of a living person awakens it from its deep sleep.
The moment it opened its eyes, scarlet murderous aura filled the royal tomb.
The entire adventure group was wiped out, and its first owner also died in this one-sided massacre. Only the owl, because of its small size, hid in a pipe somewhere and survived.
It can be said that this is the first time in its life that it has felt the pressure of life and death, and it is also a memory that it can never forget.
At this time, this deep
.
The memory engraved into its bones appeared in its mind like an illusion.
The owl seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and looked at the slowly growing crack in the sky 10,000 meters high... Perhaps, this was not a crack in space.
But the sleeping monster is opening its eyes.
It is most likely that the Xinghai Train passed by "it" and disturbed it.
If this is the case, then the body of this monster that has not yet appeared, hidden in the darkness, is probably bigger than a 10,000-meter mountain...
It's not like the owl has never encountered such a huge monster before, it has even seen monsters as huge as the mainland in the void.
But those monsters have a concept of the Star Master and will not touch the Star Sea Train at all. In fact, it is safer to be around these monsters.
But if there is really a monster behind the crack, and it comes from the dream world or nightmare world, there is a high probability that it has never had a "heart-to-heart talk" with the Star Lord.
In other words, Xinghai Train will not deter the other party.
The only hope is that this monster comes from the Mirror Realm... because each major Mirror Realm has orbits negotiated by the Star Master.
But then again, the Star Lord has never said before that this gap area has a share of the Mirror Realm. It is probably not possible to borrow power from the Mirror Realm.
At this moment, the owl only felt that it had one head and two big heads. It was thinking... whether to speed up the Star Sea Train and move away while the other party didn't fully open his eyes.
But in the end, Owl gave up this plan.
The Star Sea Train may be able to take them away, but the mission cannot be completed.
If it were an ordinary mission, that would be fine. It would at most disappoint the Star Master. But this mission was personally assigned by the Star Master. The Star Master even mentioned that if there were no unavoidable reasons, he would even want to let the Star Master do it. Come in line.
Being lined up means that the Star Master plans to end it personally.
Although the Star Master did not come in the end due to various reasons, Owl has already understood the importance of this task.
It's impossible to escape, so you have to face it.
Although "confronting the monster" is not their mission goal this time, the fact that this monster is sleeping here means that it has achieved coexistence with the mission goal.
Otherwise, the gap area cannot be so calm.
Perhaps, through this "monster", we can reach the mission target...
Just as the owl was thinking this, the crack thousands of meters above finally opened.
A hundred meters of crack revealed a scarlet eye.
The moment the eyes appeared, the owl understood that its guess was right. Sure enough, this was not some space crack, but a real monster...
As soon as the monster opened its eyes, the owl immediately sent a wave of friendly emotions to the monster.
However, before the wave could reach the monster, it was annihilated by an extremely weird aura.
At the same time, a tentacle like Optimus Prime emerged from the dark void, its sharp aura turned into spikes, aiming directly at the Star Sea Train!
The unabashed malice in the scarlet eyes, the wave of rejected emotions, and the rushing tentacle spikes all showed that the other party had no intention of communicating at all.
The most important thing is...
The owl senses the power used by the other party.
The power of the nightmare world!
"Stand still, I'm going to enter the hidden world." The owl made a decisive decision and prepared to move forward.
"Hidden world?" Starworm was stunned: "If you enter the hidden world here, space fluctuations will definitely spread out. Will it disturb..."
Before the starworm could finish speaking, the owl said bluntly: "I'm already disturbed. Did you see the light above? It's a weird eye from the nightmare world!"
Starworm: "???"
Do you think this big light group is an eye? Then isn’t its true form as big as a mountain?!
While Starworm was stunned, Owl had already driven the Star Sea Train into the hidden world. The so-called hidden world is similar to the moon-shaped world of Lady Moon, which is inaccessible to ordinary people.
.
However, Lady Moon's moon-shaped realm can only be opened within the world, while the secluded world that the Star Sea Train enters can create a secluded world out of thin air, even in the void.
In a sense, the hidden world is Star Sea Train's strongest trump card, because this hidden world is the territory of the Star Lord.
Entering the hidden world is equivalent to entering the sheltered world of the Star Lord.
The Star Sea Train became blurry at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the particles of matter turned into illusory particles in the blink of an eye.
The tentacles that turned into spikes arrived near the Star Sea Train at this time, and penetrated directly through the Star Sea Train without any cover, but...
The Xinghai Train had turned into a shadow at this time and did not suffer any damage.
The Starworm also "saw" the attack from the outside at this time, because the tentacle directly entered the hall. Although they were in the shadow, they still saw the appearance of the tentacle.
The tentacles are pitch black, a black that can swallow up light, and no specific skin details can be seen at all. However, the spikes covered on the tentacles are visible to the naked eye.
These spikes are not entities, but are transformed into a strange aura, with some kind of green lines dancing on them.
Just staring at the green lines makes me feel dizzy.
Fortunately, the tentacles quickly shrank back, and the starworm finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Starworm has no objection to the owl's decision. Faced with such a weird spirit, it is better to hide in the world first.
Although after entering the hidden world, due to the restrictions of the "track", they can only come out from the original track. But they can wait in the hidden world, wait for the monster to fall asleep again, and then come out again...
Just when Starworm was relieved, suddenly, the hall turned upside down.
The starworm, which was still standing on the marble floor, stumbled and fell directly onto the dome.
Is this upside down?
Before Starworm could recover, he saw green light appearing on the dome behind him. Although the glass of the dome was blurry, Starworm still saw the dense green light.
This is...the green lines that were dancing on the tentacles?!
So, it was the tentacles that captured the Xinghai Train and then flipped the train up and down?
However, they are clearly about to enter the hidden world, and the Star Sea Train has also become an illusion. Why can the tentacles capture them?
When Starworm was confused, Owl had confirmed that the Star Sea Train was entangled in the other party's tentacles.
He even directly dragged the Xinghai Train out of the hidden world.
This kind of grotesque ability is worthy of coming from the nightmare world... The owl sighed, they almost entered the hidden world, but it was only this small distance that was grasped by the other party.
Of course, the most important thing is the opponent's ability to enter "time and space".
The hidden world is located on another side of time and space, or in other words, in another dimension.
Even if the Star Sea Train has just entered a semi-hidden state, it is not that easy to capture it. It must be proficient in space-time algorithms and have the ability to enter other dimensions, otherwise it will not be able to touch the Star Sea Train at all.
Just like when the tentacles attacked for the first time, they seemed to have penetrated into the hall, and even the spikes on the tentacles were close at hand. But at that time, the tentacles were in the ordinary world, and they were in the semi-hidden world, and there was no intersection at all. .
But now, the tentacles can drag the Star Sea Train out of the hidden world, which shows that it has undergone targeted changes...
Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for them to enter the hidden world again.
"What should we do now?"
Starworm turned to look at the owl, which was floating in mid-air and looked very calm. After feeling the calm atmosphere around the owl, Starworm's tense strings also relaxed a lot.
Since the train conductor can be so calm, there must be a way to deal with it, right?
Facing the longing gaze of the starworm, the owl was silent for a moment and said slowly: "There is no way."
Starworm: "???"
You are so calm and collected, but then you say you have nothing to do?
The owl looked like it was natural:
.
"As I said, I am good at popularity. Even if I have some other abilities, dealing with this weird spirit is just like itching... no, maybe not even as good as itching. At least the other person can feel the itching. My In order to deal with it, it doesn’t even have basic perception.”
Starworm: "Then you..."
Owl: "You want to ask why I am so calm?"
Starworm nodded like a fool.
Owl: "Because I believe in the quality of Xinghai Train..."
Even though Xinghai Train No. 199 is just a side train, it was born in the glow of miracles. Even if the existence of miracles wants to destroy it, it is not that easy.
The weird spirits in the outside world may have some magical abilities, but they are definitely not miraculous creatures.
Therefore, even if the opponent entangles the train, it cannot be destroyed.
However, if the train derails, it will definitely not run away... Once it derails, there is no way to enter the hidden world again.
But look at just now, even if you enter the hidden world, you can't escape.
Therefore, the owl simply died.
"Should we just leave it alone? Don't do anything?"
Owl: "It's not like we're doing nothing, we're not waiting..."
"Wait? Wait for what?"
The owl sighed.
"Wait for the old friend to arrive, or... wait for the mission target to appear."
Although the Xinghai Train has been "tied", Owl's heart is actually much calmer than at the beginning.
Just as it believes in the quality of the Xinghai Train, it also believes in the person who created the Xinghai Train.
That’s right, he’s the Lord of Star Sea Train!
Referred to as "Star Lord".
The Star Master knew that its abilities were mediocre, yet he still dared to send it to perform such an important task. This definitely meant that this task was useful to him.
And my greatest value is popularity.
Therefore, the owl believes in the Star Lord that it will definitely meet an "old friend" this time.
Anyway, the train has derailed, and the weird spirit can't break the train, so let's just lose face and just wait.
When the old friend comes... maybe the knot in front of me can be untied.
