Chapter 3646 Hidden World
Chapter 3646 Hidden World
The Star Sea Train continued to move in the most stable direction of space.
However, at this time, the Star Sea Train was not as rampant as before. Under the control of the owl, it also began to avoid the surrounding energy balls.
Although, with the strength of the Star Train, it is not afraid of these energy balls at all; but the owl has no way of judging whether there are some powerful "existences" behind these energy balls. In order to avoid disturbing them, it still chooses to take a detour silently.
However, the further we move forward, the more energy clusters are distributed.
Many times, only some gaps are still "empty".
Rolling and walking backwards, winding and zigzagging.
The Xinghai Train is like a roller coaster in an amusement park, twisting and spiraling at all kinds of incredible angles, and shuttling through all kinds of gaps.
As the energy clusters became more and more densely distributed, the stability of the space in the void also increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If nothing unexpected happens, they are not far from the starting point.
But, right now.
The Xinghai Train suddenly trembled and its speed slowed down significantly.
In the dome hall, Starworm did not feel the train decelerating, but he felt the sudden shaking of the hall.
"Mr. Conductor..." Starworm spoke in a hurried tone, because the last time the hall shook, they almost fell into a deep sleep.
However, before he could finish, the owl shook its head slightly at him.
Signal him to be quiet.
When the owl shook its head, its eyes were always looking upwards, as if there was something above its head.
For unknown reasons, Starworm subconsciously followed its line of sight. However, due to the obstruction of his vision, he could not see anything... He could only vaguely see a little light above through the frosted glass.
Glimmer?
No, in fact it's not shimmer at all.
In the owl's vision, a crack suddenly appeared in the void ten thousand meters above.
The so-called light is actually the sparks of energy that splash out when the cracks spread.
This crack looked like a space crack, but it did not cause any space shock to the surrounding area, as if there was already a crack there.
But the owl, with its all-seeing vision, could see clearly that the crack suddenly appeared when the Star Train passed right underneath it.
This sudden change made Owl subconsciously slow down the speed of the train.
This is also the reason why the hall suddenly shook just now.
The crack had not yet opened completely, and there was no energy fluctuation or imposing pressure in the void, but Owl had already felt a sense of oppression in his heart.
This oppression does not come from the outside world, but is a fear that originates from the heart.
The starworm nearby didn't feel anything unusual because it didn't know what was happening in the outside world; but the owl felt its whole body stiff because of this "mental situation".
As the crack gradually tore apart, the fear in Owl's heart grew stronger...
It even had a slight hallucination in its mind.
No, it’s not an illusion. The picture that appears in the mind is its past memory.
In the first hundred years after its birth, it was the pet of an adventurer who had his own adventure team and a group of partners who explored the unknown together.
However, one day while exploring a lost royal tomb, they approached a sleeping statue.
Who would have thought that the statue was actually a sleeping gargoyle.
The breath of the living 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 and survived.
It can be said that this was the first time in its life that it felt the pressure of life and death, and it is a memory that it will never forget.
But at this moment, this deep-rooted memory appeared in its mind like an illusion.
The owl seemed to have thought of something, and raised its head to look at the crack that was slowly getting bigger ten thousand meters in the sky... Perhaps, this was not a space crack.
But the sleeping monster is opening its eyes.
It is very likely that the Star Sea Train passed by "it" and disturbed it.
If this is true, then the monster that has not yet appeared in front of us, hiding in the darkness, is probably even larger than a ten-thousand-meter-high mountain...
The owl had encountered such huge monsters before. It had even seen giant monsters in the void that were as big as the continent.
But those monsters have an idea 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 really is a monster behind the crack, and it comes from the dream world or the nightmare world, it is likely that it has never had a "heart-to-heart talk" with the Star Lord.
In other words, the Star Train will not deter the opponent.
The only hope is that this monster comes from the Mirror Realm... because all the major Mirror Realms have orbits negotiated by the Star Lord.
But then again, the Star Lord had not mentioned before that there was a part of the Mirror Domain in this gap area, so it probably wouldn't be possible to borrow power from the Mirror Domain.
The owl felt overwhelmed at the moment. It was thinking... whether it should speed up the Star Sea Train and move away before the other party opened his eyes completely.
But in the end, the owl gave up the plan.
The Star Train might be able to take them away, but the mission could not be accomplished.
If it was an ordinary mission, it would be fine, at most it would disappoint the Star Lord. But this time, the mission was personally ordered by the Star Lord, who even mentioned that if it weren't for some unavoidable reasons, he would even want to let Zhenglie come.
The meaning of the positive line coming over is that the Star Lord intends to take action personally.
Although the Star Lord did not come in the end due to various reasons, Owl had already realized the importance of this mission.
It is impossible to escape, so you can only face it.
Although "facing the monster" is not their mission goal this time, the fact that this monster can sleep here means that it has reached a coexistence with the mission target.
Otherwise, the gap zone could not be so peaceful.
Perhaps, by passing through this "monster", we can get in touch with the mission target...
Just as the owl was thinking this, a crack ten thousand meters in the sky finally opened.
A scarlet eye appeared in the hundred-meter crack.
The moment the eyes appeared, the owl knew that its guess was correct. Sure enough, this was not a 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 other party.
However, the wave was annihilated by an extremely weird aura before it touched the monster.
At the same time, a tentacle like a pillar of heaven emerged from the dark void, and its sharp aura turned into spikes, aiming directly at the Star Sea Train!
The undisguised malice in the scarlet eyes, the waves of rejection, and the mighty advancing tentacle spikes all showed that the other party had no intention of communicating at all.
The most important thing is...
The owl sensed the power used by the other party.
The power of nightmare!
"Hold still, I'm going to enter the secluded world." The owl made a prompt decision and prepared to break through the air and move forward.
"Hidden world?" The Starworm was stunned: "If we enter the hidden world here, the spatial fluctuations will definitely spread out. Will it disturb..."
Before the Starworm could finish, the Owl said bluntly, "It has been disturbed. Do you see that light up there? It is a grotesque eye from the Nightmare Realm!"
Starworm: “???”
You said this huge ball of light was an eye? Then wouldn't its true form be as big as a mountain?!
While the starworm was stunned, the owl had already driven the star train into the hidden world. The so-called hidden world was similar to the moon-shaped world of Ms. Moon, which was inaccessible to ordinary people.
However, Ms. Moon's moon-shaped world can only be opened inside the world, while the hidden world that the Star Sea Train enters can create a hidden world out of thin air even in the void.
In a sense, the hidden world is the strongest trump card of the Star Sea Train, because this hidden world is the territory of the Star Lord.
Entering the hidden world is equivalent to entering the star lord's realm of protection.
The Starry Sea Train became blurred 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 also arrived near the Xinghai Train at this time, and penetrated the Xinghai Train directly without any cover, but...
The Star Sea Train had now turned into a shadow and had not suffered any damage.
The Starworms also "saw" the attack from the outside world at this time, because the tentacles directly attacked the hall. Although they were in the shadows, they still saw the tentacles.
The tentacles were pitch black, a black that could swallow up light, and the specific details of the skin were completely invisible. However, the spikes on the tentacles were visible to the naked eye.
These spikes are not physical entities, but are the result of a strange aura with some green patterns jumping on them.
Just staring at the green lines makes me feel dizzy.
Fortunately, the tentacles quickly retracted, and the starworm finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Starworm no longer had any objection to Owl's decision. Facing such a bizarre spirit, it was better to retreat into seclusion first.
Although after entering the hidden world, they can only come out from the original track due to the limitation of the "track". But they can wait in the hidden world, wait for the monster to fall asleep again, and then come out...
Just when Starworm felt relieved, suddenly, the hall turned upside down.
The starworm, which was originally standing on the marble floor, stumbled and fell directly onto the dome.
Is this upside down?
Before Starworm could come to his senses, he saw green light appearing on the dome behind him. Although the glass of the dome was blurry, Starworm could still see the dense green light.
Is this... the green pattern that was dancing on the tentacle before? !
So, the tentacles captured the Star Sea Train and then turned the train upside down?
However, they were clearly about to enter the hidden world, and the Star Sea Train had become an illusory state, so why could the tentacles capture them?
While the Starworm was confused, Owl had already confirmed that the Star Train was entangled by the opponent's tentacles.
Even, he directly dragged the Star Sea Train out of the hidden world.
This bizarre ability was worthy of coming from the Nightmare Realm... Owl sighed. They were almost able to enter the hidden world, but they were caught by the other party at this tiny distance.
Of course, the most important thing is the other party's ability to enter "time and space".
The hidden world is located in another time and space, or in other words, in another dimension.
Even though the Star Train was only halfway into the hidden world, it was not easy to capture it. One had to be proficient in the space-time algorithm and have the ability to enter another dimension, otherwise one could not touch the Star Train at all.
Just like the first time the tentacles attacked, it looked like they had penetrated the hall, and even the spikes on the tentacles were within reach. But at that time, the tentacles were in the ordinary world, and they were in the semi-hidden world, so there was no intersection at all.
But now, the tentacles can drag the Star Sea Train out of the hidden world, which means that it has undergone targeted changes...
Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for them to enter the secluded world again.
"What do we do now?"
The Starworm turned to look at the owl, which was floating in the air at this time, looking very calm. When the Starworm felt the calm atmosphere around the owl, the tense nerves of the Starworm also relaxed a lot.
Since Mr. Conductor can be so calm, he must have a way to deal with it, right?
Facing the star worm's eager gaze, the owl was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "There is no other way."
Starworm: “???”
You are so calm and composed, and yet you say you can't do anything?
The owl said as if it was a matter of course: "I told you, I am known for my popularity. Even if I have some other abilities, it is just like scratching an itch to deal with this weird spirit... No, it may not even be as good as scratching an itch. At least the other party can sense the itch, but it doesn't even have the basic sense of my abilities against it."
Starworm: "Then you..."
Owl: "Are you asking me why I am so calm?"
The star worm nodded like pounding garlic.
Owl: "Because I believe in the quality of the Star Train..."
Even though Star Train No. 199 was only a secondary train, it was born in the glory of miracles. Even if the miracle wanted to destroy it, it would not be so easy.
The bizarre spirits in the outside world may have some magical abilities, but they are definitely not miraculous creatures.
Therefore, even if the other party is entangled with the train, it cannot be destroyed.
However, there is no way to escape the train derailment... Once it derails, there is no way to enter the hidden world again.
But looking at what happened just now, even if you enter the secluded world, you can’t escape.
So, the Owl just gave up.
"We're just going to leave it alone? Are we not going to do anything?"
Owl: "It's not like we're doing nothing. We're just waiting..."
"Wait? Wait for what?"
Owl sighed.
"Wait for the old friend to arrive, or... wait for the mission target to appear."
Although the Star Train had been "kidnapped", Owl was actually much calmer than at the beginning.
Just as it believes in the quality of the Star Train, it also believes in the person who created the Star Train.
That’s right, it’s the Master of the Star Sea Train!
Referred to as "Star Lord".
The Star Lord knew clearly that its ability was mediocre, but still dared to send it to carry out such an important mission, which must mean that it can be of use in this mission.
And one’s greatest value is popularity.
Therefore, the owl believes in the Star Lord and believes that it will definitely meet an "old friend" this time.
Anyway, the train has already derailed and the weird spirits can't break it open, so just forget about your face and wait.
Wait until the old friend comes... maybe the knot in front of me can be untied.
