Chapter 3666: Sleeping Birthday
Could it be the monsters that the Starworm mentioned before, encountered in the gap area?
"No." The Starworm shook his head.
After a pause, the Starworm thought for a moment and said, "But it is very similar."
Now, the monsters in this gap area have been temporarily appeased thanks to the popularity of the owl. So, there is no need to worry that they will chase the Star Sea Train.
However, most of the void monsters that chase the Star Sea Train actually encounter the same monsters as the gap area. It's just that this gap area has the cat head to appease, but not other places.
In short...
The Star Sea Train often drives recklessly, and sometimes in order to quickly reach the terminal, it will even break into the territory occupied by some void monsters.
If a slightly weaker void monster, or a slightly "smarter" and "experienced" void monster, sees the Star Sea Train passing through its territory, even if it is resentful in its heart, it will turn a blind eye and let the Star Sea Train go in and out.
But if this void monster doesn't have much wisdom, is still very powerful, and has a strong desire for revenge, it may chase the Star Sea Train out of hatred.
"If it is the main train of the Star Sea Train, there is no need to consider these. Even if it is a secondary train, if it is numbered in the first 100, there is no need to worry about those void monsters."
"But who made me on the Star Sea Train, it is the 199th secondary train."
"In addition, many of the previous train conductors have very impulsive and weird personalities. When they plan the route, they will even deliberately provoke some powerful void monsters...
"For example, the previous demon conductor sometimes could have avoided the void monster by taking a detour for a few seconds. But it just didn't want to, and would actively get close to the void monster, and even regarded the limbs and bones in the monster's body as a railway...
Yes, the demon conductor will drive the Star Sea Train into the bodies of those monsters.
Anyway, the speed of the Star Sea Train is extremely fast, and those monsters generally can't catch up, so it provokes recklessly.
"It's not just the demon conductor, the other previous conductors are also like this... It's rare to find a conductor as gentle as the owl conductor among the Star Sea Train conductors."
Starworm didn't want to criticize the previous conductors, but that's the fact.
Many times, there is actually no need to provoke those powerful void monsters, but those conductors just rely on the super speed of the Star Sea Train to provoke monsters.
Because of the operations of these conductors, the 199th deputy train attracted a lot of monsters' hatred.
Those monsters with slightly weaker strength are self-evident; but some monsters are as strong as the monsters they encountered in the gap area, and there are even terrifying monsters that can mark the Star Sea Train in the void.
These monsters rely on smelling the smell of the Star Sea Train to chase and kill for a long time in the void.
However, the Xinghai train is very fast and almost never stays in one place, so generally speaking, there is no need to worry too much.
But once the Xinghai train stops at a certain place for too long, they may catch up.
.......That's what happened. "Starworm sighed: "So, for the safety of the Xinghai train, the owl train captain was so anxious to drive the train away...
After listening to the story of the starworm, Angel and others were silent.
Who would have thought that the truth was like this...
The previous train captain provoked the monsters unscrupulously, and the current train captain had no choice but to clean up the mess.
From the description of the starworm, Angel could feel that he was deeply helpless about the previous train captains.
"I tried hard to improve my star rating, but in fact I also wanted to leave the No. 199 auxiliary train as soon as possible..." Starworm murmured.
He is now a three-star train conductor. As long as he reaches a four-star train conductor, he will be promoted to a "Hidden World Waiter". The "Hidden World Waiter" guards the hidden world carriage, and only the first 100 trains have it.
In other words, as long as Starworm successfully becomes a four-star conductor, he can be transferred from the 199th train to the first 100 trains.
The first 100 trains have a stronger power of miracles. Even if the conductor provokes those low-intelligence void monsters, they dare not chase after them just by smelling the breath of miracle power... Unlike the 199th train, although it also has a certain amount of miracle power protection, it is very little. At most, it can deter some intelligent and knowledgeable void monsters, but it has no deterrent effect on those low-intelligence and unintelligent void monsters.
Gleipnir: "I remember you said before that the Star Train has 360 trains and 360 train captains. So, do most of the train captains have this kind of 'bad' personality?"
Starworm shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know much about train captains. However, among the train captains I have experienced, only Sir Owl is the most gentle."
"And the previous ones... Starworm didn't continue to talk about it, but his expression was a little helpless just when he mentioned it.
Gleipnir looked at Starworm with sympathetic eyes.
At this time, Laplace asked: "What level of strength are those void monsters chasing the No. 199 train?"
Starworm thought for a while and replied: "At least they are all monsters that have engraved and mastered the complete laws, and some even mastered multiple compound laws. "
What does it mean to master the complete laws?
Generally speaking, when you start to promote to a legendary creature, you will begin to come into contact with the power of laws.
For example, Laplace's body has now begun to come into contact with the law.
However, it is just contact. If you want to completely condense the laws, it can only be possible after being promoted to legend.
Therefore, a monster that masters complete laws must be legendary or above.
If divided by the wizard system, it is probably the level of fifth-level wizards and sixth-level wizards.
In other words, those who dare to chase the Star Sea Train in the void must be legendary creatures.
Laplace was actually not surprised by this answer. After all, even if the auxiliary train failed again, it would still be a star train. There is no way ordinary monsters would dare to target the Star Sea Train.
If it were a legendary monster, that would be understandable.
On the other side, Angel was both surprised and secretly relieved when he learned that it was a legendary monster...and a top legendary monster chasing the Star Sea Train.
Fortunately, the owl drove the train away. If those monsters chased into the gap area and discovered the Dream Crystal Plains...then the Dream Crystal Plains would only be dead.
After talking about this topic, Angel looked at Laplace and Gripnir.
Ask them with your eyes if they have anything else to ask. If there are no more questions, start the test.
Laplace shrugged and said there was no problem.
After thinking for a few seconds, Gripnir looked at Starworm: "The owl said that you are now a dissociated consciousness, that is, a clone consciousness. In other words, your main consciousness is actually still working as a conductor on the Star Sea Train?"
The reason why Gripnir suddenly mentioned this is because based on her observations of the star marks and past experience, the star bug is more like a subjective consciousness.
But the owl said that he was a dissociated consciousness, just a fragment of the main consciousness, which made Gripnir a little confused.
"No." Starworm directly denied it.
“Although my subjective consciousness is still on the Xinghai Train, it is currently falling into sleep...
Gleipnir was stunned: "Sleeping period? What is this?"
Starworm seemed hesitant to say anything, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to speak bluntly: "The sleep and birth period is a unique ability possessed by my tribe."
"You can understand it as a different kind of immortality...
"Immortality?!"
Facing the surprised and suspicious looks of everyone, Star Bug said softly: "It's not immortality as you understand it, it's just some trickery...
Immediately afterwards, Starworm explained the truth about the sleep and birth period.
There are many starry sky groups in the star spirit world, and the group where the starworms belong has a very special talent called: Immortality.
This so-called "immortal body" is not really "immortal", but "not aging".
To put it simply, as long as the Star Worm's group does not encounter disasters or dangers, their bodies will always remain in their youngest state. This is the so-called "immortality".
This kind of "immortality" sounds good, but in fact it is indeed very enviable by other starry sky clans.
But fate has gifted them with immortality, so they will definitely operate secretly elsewhere.
In other words, although "immortal body" is good, it also has some disadvantages.
The disadvantage of immortality is that the consciousness wears off much faster than other ethnic groups.
For other ethnic groups, even if their bodies are old, their consciousness is still at its most energetic. To put it more bluntly, my body is old but my heart is still young.
But the star bugs are different. Their bodies will not age, but their minds will age very quickly.
Others are hundreds of years old and still have a young heart. They are hundreds of years old and look young on the outside, but in fact they are already dark inside and don’t want to do anything...
Faced with this "premature aging of consciousness" situation, the group behind the starworm developed an ability.
This ability is called "reincarnation."
To put it simply, when their consciousness begins to enter the period of decline, they will actively eliminate the aging consciousness, leaving only "memory" in the body, and let the body enter the "sleep period".
When you wake up from the "sleep period", a new consciousness will be born in this body.
The new consciousness represents vigorous vitality, and can also read the memory of the original body, which means that you have hundreds of years of knowledge and experience from your predecessor at birth.
This is "reincarnation".
...
"So, before you entered Star Trace, you copied all your memories to your body... Once there is a problem with your consciousness here, a new consciousness will be reborn on the other side of your body?" Gleipnir asked road.
Starworm nodded, then shook his head.
"What you said is basically correct, but one thing is wrong. Even if there is no problem with my consciousness, a new consciousness may be born in the other side of my body."
In other words, as long as his body wakes up from the "sleep period", a new consciousness will definitely be born.
At that time, even if he returns to the Star Sea Train, he will not be able to enter the body again. Because his body has been replaced by new consciousness.
Gripnir stared at the starworm with somewhat complicated eyes.
Since Starworm has done this, it means that he actually came to Dream Crystal Plains with the possibility of death...
"How long will this sleep period last?" It was Angel who asked.
Star Bug thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, the sleep and birth period will end in about one to three months."
In other words, Starworm only has one month.
He must board the Star Sea Train again within a month, otherwise his body will no longer be his.
Hearing this, Grepnir, who was sweating coldly for Starworm, breathed a sigh of relief.
If it takes a month, there is still a chance.
After all, Starworm just said that the Star Sea Train will be back in about three to six days. When the time comes for the Star Bug to return to the Star Sea Train, his body will still be his.
After learning about the special talent of the Star Bug, although Gripnir wanted to ask more about the Star Sky Clan, considering that Angel was still waiting for the test, she suppressed the impulse and did not continue to ask any more questions. Go down.
Anyway, Starworm will stay here for at least three days.
Three days was enough for her to eat until she was full.
Thinking of this, Gleipnir gave Angel and Laplace a look that said "the question is over."
When Angel saw this, he coughed quickly.
After attracting Star Bug's attention, Angel said softly: "I just noticed that you were looking into the distance while we were performing the ceremony.
Starworm nodded: "I'm looking at the fog. I want to see how the words above the fog describe it. But some of them are too far away and I can't see clearly."
"You're interested in literal spaces?"
Starworm did not refute: "Yes, this is the first time I have seen all this."
"Since you are curious about everything about this, let me show you two things and see if you can tell anything?"
Although he didn't know what Angel meant, Starworm still nodded: "...What do you want me to see?"
Angel: "Not on me."
As he spoke, Angel stepped back and got out of sight.
Only then did Starworm realize that both Gleipnir and Laplace were approaching, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands?
Starworm's eyes were first attracted to Gleipnir.
Because Grepnir was holding a trembling black kitten in his arms.
The kitten seemed very uncomfortable with the outside environment, or in other words, it was afraid of something. It didn't even dare to raise its head and was trembling all over.
Even the limbs were shaking.
Starworm looked at the little black cat with a hint of surprise in his eyes: he actually quite liked cats.
There used to be a passenger on the Xinghai Train - Cat Doss. He would give him some extra conveniences because he looked like a cat.
Unfortunately, under the pressure of the demon commander, Cat Doss jumped out of the car.
He is probably dead now, right?
Starworm put his head away, put aside irrelevant thoughts, and looked at the cat in Gleipnir's arms: "This is... a cat? Is it a creation of words? Can I touch it?"
Starworm didn't see the text display on the black cat's head, but he didn't care at the moment.
Gleipnir took it out because he wanted the starworm to touch it, so it was impossible to refuse:
"Of course, feel free to do so."
