【BOOM!!】
With a deafening roar!
A ‘spear’ that pierced the sky.
A magnificent and domineering azure dragon shadow.
Directly striking the giant beast that was swooping down from the heavens.
A ‘boom’ resonated, unleashing a powerful energy wave.
The azure waves spread endlessly, dissipating the thick clouds in the sky.
Revealing the monstrous face of the giant beast high above.
The enormous golden horns glinted in the sunlight, chilling one to the core.
The spearhead struck the beast’s face, and a violent wave of energy cascaded from the sky.
Rocks crumbled.
Buildings collapsed.
Pedestrians scurrying on the street were thrown to the ground.
The scene was chaotic.
Thankfully, the Peace Company managed to erect a protective barrier, successfully blocking the onslaught of the energy wave.
After the brief bombardment.
The beast’s half-face, covered in metallic armor, was completely destroyed.
After a piercing shriek, it turned and fled.
Following a brief silence, cheers erupted from the crowd.
Some were crying.
Some were laughing.
Some were hugging strangers and kissing them wildly.
They were grateful for surviving.
…
Amusement park.
“Darling, did you see it?”
Ji Zi smiled.
“If you’re referring to the illusory dragon horns?”
Su Zhe replied.
Although Dan Heng’s massive water-shaped dragon shadow concealed his body when he launched his attack, it couldn’t escape the eyes of Su Zhe and Ji Zi.
“That person has some hidden past, doesn’t he?”
“Looks like we’ll have new companions, won’t we?”
“You seemed to buy a lot of Xianzhou-style items just now.”
As she spoke, Ji Zi glanced at Su Zhe, a mysterious smile curling on her lips.
“Ahem.”
“Well, the streets are filled with noisy crowds.”
“It’s too loud.”
Su Zhe quickly changed the subject.
He narrowed his eyes.
A golden light flickered in his eyes.
Like dropping a pebble into a lake, before them, a golden ripple swept across Medusa 6.
The entire planet seemed to press the pause button.
All living beings instantly fell silent.
“Why am I running?”
“Yeah, it looks like the planet is going to be swallowed, but at least it hasn’t been swallowed, right?”
“Minor issue, minor issue.”
“Just a planet-devouring beast, I’ve seen bigger than this.”
“Let’s continue our amusement park trip, my free seven-day tour is only on its first day.”
“Young people are still too impulsive, ahem, back in my day, I faced the swarm of bugs directly.”
“Let’s go!”
“If the planet gets swallowed, so be it, it won’t affect my entertainment.”
…
“Oh? He’s running away.”
“Keep an eye on him!”
Ji Zi quickly got up, her mango sundae had to be abandoned.
“Oh no, he’s boarding a ship.”
“Let’s follow him.”
The two quickly returned to the Star Rail, just in time to encounter Welt, who was about to disembark.
“What’s going on?”
Su Zhe: “Ji Zi found a new companion.”
Welt pushed up his glasses and instantly understood: “It’s the person who repelled the planet-devouring beast, right?”
“Yes.”
He also noticed the young man.
As the hero who saved the planet, he did not accept people’s gratitude and admiration but silently blended into the crowd and quietly returned to his ship.
“Train Master.”
“Chase!”
…
At the next port, the young man slowly disembarked.
He stood facing the gentle breeze.
He sighed softly.
Then he looked around.
He was planning to find a ship at the port that was hiring laborers.
He had no destination, he just wanted to stay far away from that man.
“Sir.”
As he was wandering around the port, suddenly, a gentle voice stopped him.
Turning to see, it was a red-haired woman wearing a white dress.
Beside her was a handsome black-haired man.
Judging by their positions, they were a couple.
His eyes moved to the back, a mature and dignified… scholar?
“Is there something you need?”
“My name is Ji Zi, thank you for saving us earlier.”
“…”
Dan Heng knew he had been discovered.
He didn’t reply.
He just nodded, originally wanting to turn and leave, but he saw a train docked behind the woman.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Where are you going next?”
Ji Zi sensed something.
“Not sure yet.”
“Would you like to join the train then?”
“…”
“We are retracing our past routes, there are so many things to redo, we need a guard… and a recorder.”
Ji Zi extended an invitation.
“…”
“Since you have no destination, why not get on the train first! You can get off whenever you want to go somewhere.”
Ji Zi said.
“Okay.”
After some negotiations, Dan Heng boarded the Star Rail and temporarily became the train’s guard.
“Welcome, new companion.”
“Well then, it’s time to have a feast.”
Su Zhe stepped forward and naturally put his arm around Dan Heng’s shoulder.
“This is Ji Zi, the train’s pilot.”
“My name is Su Zhe.”
“This is Welt-Yang.”
“What about you, newcomer?”
“Dan Heng!”
Dan Heng silently glanced at the hand on his shoulder, strangely, he didn’t dislike Su Zhe’s friendliness.
They returned to the observation car.
“Oh~, we can’t forget our dear Train Master, Pam.”
“…”
A rabbit plush?
Dan Heng nodded in acknowledgment.
“To welcome Dan Heng, I have to get out my treasured ingredients, just wait a moment.”
With that, Su Zhe ‘whoosh’ disappeared.
Dan Heng blinked, a hint of surprise finally appeared on his usually stoic face.
Soon.
Su Zhe reappeared, holding a leg from an unknown creature.
“Dan Heng passenger, your room will be ready shortly.”
Pam said.
“Thanks, but…”
…
None of them had ever eaten the meat of a sea king.
After some cooking.
It was quite delicious.
The feast ended, and Dan Heng had also initially integrated into this small group.
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
Ji Zi smiled.
Dan Heng: “Thanks.”
Welt looked at Dan Heng in horror, this must be the audacity of youth, right?
He still remembered his injured esophagus and the memory loss from the Void Burial.
The hand under the table gently tugged at Dan Heng’s clothes.
“?”
“Welt, would you like a cup too?”
Ji Zi’s lips curled slightly, revealing a kind smile.
“Ahem~, I’ll go check the data in the archives.”
Welt quickly got up.
Soon, Ji Zi walked out with a cup of ‘coffee’.
(Is this coffee?)
(It feels different from the one on the ship.)
Dan Heng looked at it, it was blacker than the Confinement Prison.
Is the legendary moment about to happen?
Su Zhe was filled with anticipation.
Dan Heng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately brought the coffee to his mouth.
A thick sensation instantly filled his mouth, the sticky feeling made him frown slightly.
The coffee did not go down as expected.
“…”
Dan Heng’s chewing slowed down.
The muscles in his mouth twitched uncontrollably, the strange sensation on his taste buds made him recall the hardships of his early life.
His thoughts drifted away, reminiscing about the Ten Kings’ Mansion and the Confinement Prison.
Those painful memories of his past resurfaced in his mind one by one.
He tried to swallow it down forcefully, but his body rejected the idea.
After much effort, he finally managed to swallow the coffee with difficulty.
Then, Dan Heng rolled his eyes and fell backward.
【Thump!】
He made a close encounter with the ground.
Goodnight, Makaba.
(￣ˇ￣)/
As expected, one taste and you die!
Su Zhe sighed with emotion: “Young people are so healthy, they just fall asleep!”
