Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Still standing here looking at the sky? Everyone's gone!"

Xingyi patted him on the back, picked up the baseball bat, and faced the Cloud Rider who was controlled by the Word Spirit.

Scott's smile froze.

"That can't be right, could it be that the wrong location was sent?!"

..........

The star raft travels through the sea of ​​clouds, carrying four people.

As a passenger starship, its interior space should have been quite spacious, but with the addition of that huge coffin, it felt somewhat cramped.

The atmosphere inside the cabin, however, was awkward and made the space feel even more cramped.

The first one to be unable to bear it was naturally Su Chang:

"Waaaaah—I can't take it anymore!"

The girl let out a wail first.

"Is Miss Su Chang feeling unwell?" Luo Sha asked with concern.

"I'm not sick. No, say something! There was only one taciturn guy before, how come we've become a ship full of taciturn guys as soon as we boarded the star raft!"

The loud-voiced girl was making a racket, and the three socially awkward men couldn't help but rub their temples.

"Su Chang, keep your voice down. Everyone here is deaf."

Lin Yuan covered his ears.

"Didn't your mother teach you to actively find topics to break the ice when things get awkward?"

"Um... my mother didn't teach me. It's my fault... Let me start a conversation."

Su Chang scratched her head.

"Um... I've got it! Why did you all come to Luofu? I'll go first—my mother thinks I'm not well-educated enough, and that it would be difficult for me to succeed her in Yaoqing. She said she wants to transfer me to Luofu to gain experience and improve my credentials."

"Oh, so you're the son of a high-ranking official. My apologies for not recognizing you."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. Dan Heng, standing to the side, sighed.

"Miss Su Chang, please don't talk about this carelessly in the future."

"Oh, I almost forgot, my mother also told me not to talk nonsense outside. I'll definitely do it next time."

Su Chang chuckled, then looked at the person in front of her:

"It's your turn. In the Xianzhou dialect, I call this 'throwing out a jade to attract a brick'..."

"This is just a starting point; your mother has great foresight."

Rakshasa also sighed.

"As for me, I'm just a lowly merchant, nothing much to say. I'm just here in Luofu to complete a business deal on someone's behalf. After deducting the company's and alliance's transit duties, I won't earn much from this trip."

"Next up, me! Come on, one for each of you. Rakshasa, you already have one, so I won't give you any more."

Lin Yuan distributed business cards in the cabin.

"I am the company's special representative in Xianzhou and a partner of General Jingyuan. You can contact me if you have any problems in the future."

"Wow, you're actually a big shot!" Su Chang exclaimed in surprise.

"At Yaoqing, company representatives are allowed to enter General Feixiao's residence to discuss state affairs."

"So-so," Lin Yuan said modestly with a smile.

A moment later, everyone turned their attention to Dan Heng.

"You silent devil, it's your turn. Hurry up and say it!" Su Chang raised her pretty face, looking expectant.

"I......"

Dan Heng fell silent for a moment.

Chapter 222 Attack

"I don't have much to say. We were just travelers when this unexpected turn of events happened. We're currently trying to reunite with our friends and make sure they're safe."

Dan Heng's expression was solemn, and his tone revealed worry.

Seeing this, Su Chang's desire to press further diminished, and she patted Dan Heng on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, you silent type. With your skills, your friends must be pretty good too. They'll definitely be safe and sound. Let's wait a bit..."

"Click click".

Suddenly, the starship carrying everyone made a strange noise, and then shook violently.

"Ouch! What's going on? Have those bountiful monsters attacked?"

Su Chang covered her head where she had been hit and looked around.

Dan Heng had already nimbly gotten up and reached the stern of the boat. His voice suddenly turned deep:

"This star raft... seems to have undergone some change; it just appeared to have started growing again on its own."

Lin Yuan rushed over upon hearing the noise, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Sure enough, the nozzle at the tail of the star raft had been entangled and affected by the growing branches.

"What should we do? Do you know how to repair star rafts?" Su Chang asked, distressed.

"There's no need for you to worry."

Rakshasa, who had been observing from the side, spoke calmly.

"Look, these extra vines are starting to fall off under the influence of the high temperature, and they should be back to normal soon."

After a short while, the tendrils that had been entwining the engine withered as if they had lost their life force, and then fell down with a rustling sound. The star raft resumed operation.

"Oh, thank goodness you're alright. Why did so many things happen on this journey?"

Su Chang felt somewhat helpless.

Lin Yuan looked at Rakshasa with a peculiar gaze, and nodded as he observed her calm expression.

A moment later—

"Where did this come from? Is this still the original flight path?!"

Su Chang's voice resounded through the sea of ​​clouds.

.............

"Have mercy! These Cloud Rider brothers must have been bewitched by Kafka."

Tingyun hid behind the crowd, not forgetting to remind them.

"Don't worry, we have our men in charge."

After taking down the Cloud Riders blocking their path, the pursuit team continued their chase along the route where Kafka had disappeared.

"Charge! Don't let that wicked woman get away!"

March 7th took the lead. The others also displayed remarkable agility and speed. Obstacles and roadblocks ahead were easily overcome.

"Hey, slow down! Why are you all running so fast!"

Scott followed behind, panting, and was somewhat shocked to find that even Tingyun was faster than him.

"Is there something wrong with this fox? How can it run faster than me, Scott?"

He muttered to himself from behind, but the people in front of him had already disappeared.

Scott, panting, waved his hand and yelled, "Keep up with me!"

Meanwhile, ahead, the crowd had already surrounded Kafka in a wide open space.

"Welcome, fellow train crew members, you've got me!"

Kafka's gaze swept over everyone, her tone tinged with amusement.

"Was this also part of your plan?"

Xing took the initiative to speak.

"Hehe." Kafka looked at her with a doting gaze and chuckled softly.

“Show your hand, Kafka. We’re here just as you expected.”

Walter looked serious.

"It's not a plan, it's the future. We intervene among countless future possibilities to make the best future a reality. Don't flatter us, Walter. The Star Core Hunters are merely slaves to fate."

"The best future? Whose best future?" March said aggressively, hands on her hips. "Who can let someone else arrange things for them while believing that the other party will have their own interests at heart!"

“The entire universe—do you believe that?” Kaffa glanced at her.

"You could also say: the entire universe to me."

"Surrender and explain to the immortal boat, if there's a reason..."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Xing's face, but it quickly turned into determination.

“We will take you to see General Luofu. Since you believe you are innocent, you might as well explain to him, and he will make his own judgment.”

"No, I hate doing things at other people's pace."

Kafka crossed her arms and shook her head slightly.

"Time is running out, hurry up and get started, or it will be too late."

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. Why aren't you guys up yet?"

At that moment, Scott finally arrived at the scene, panting. He glanced at the situation on the field and his eyes lit up when he saw the woman with purple-red hair in the middle.

"Scott, you're still talking about us. Didn't you want to show us the company's foundation? Where's this foundation?"

March stood guard with a longbow in hand, somewhat speechless.

"Hmph, little pink-haired girl, what's your hurry? The real protagonist should always be the last to appear!"
