Only Villette looked completely bewildered, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
Is this guy really that awesome?
After a moment of contemplation, Walter asked Jiang Lin:
"What about the second thing?"
Seeing that someone had asked, Jiang Lin replied directly:
“We are now trapped inside the stomach of a giant cricket.”
This answer stunned everyone present.
Welt and Himeko frowned deeply...
Xing, however, said with a pessimistic expression, "Let me go, I don't taste good..."
“I see. That explains my previous encounter with Villette.”
Yinzhi seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.
March 7th was a little dazed, but still couldn't help asking:
"What do you mean? What have you discovered this time?"
“Did Villett ever mention that when we first met, he was trapped in a dark, damp, and enormous cave, unable to escape?”
Looking back, I can recall hearing swallowing and wriggling sounds coming from inside the cave.
At this point, Danheng also came to his own conclusion.
"If this is true, then perhaps we encountered the same giant true worm."
Then came another long silence.
Then March 7th couldn't help but speak first.
"Don't be so pessimistic, say something..."
"To meet you all here, I, Yinzhi, have no regrets even in death."
"Forget it, you'd better just stay quiet."
March 7th said speechlessly.
Finally, Himeko spoke up, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"Let's take it one step at a time. First, what method should we use to deal with the bugs on the train?"
"I think the second option is better. Let's lure all the bugs over first. I'm confident I can handle them all." After thinking for a moment, Walter came to his conclusion.
The rest of the passengers on the train then joined in supporting Walter.
"Yes, Uncle Yang is amazing. We'll definitely be safe and sound."
March 7th said optimistically.
"Yinzhi is also willing to lend a helping hand to everyone."
Then, Himeko looked at Jiang Lin.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Jiang Lin."
Jiang Lin nodded slightly and said calmly:
"It's nothing, after all, I came here to help you."
Then Jiang Lin activated the aura belonging to the Insect King within his body...
A moment later, a series of noises came from all corners of the train...
A swarm of insects rushed into the observation car.
Seeing this, Walter didn't hesitate and launched a simulated black hole towards them...
The battle began quickly and ended just as quickly...
No more insects emerged from the train...
"Is...is everything cleaned up?"
Pam asked with some concern.
"Yes, I can feel it. Even those insect eggs just hatched quickly and flew towards us."
Jiang Lin gave Pam's question a definite answer, which made the tense crowd breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Himeko spoke up:
"Next, we should think about how to solve the problem of giant stinging insects."
Walter then proposed:
"Perhaps we could try temporarily overloading the train engine to impact the insect's stomach and force it to burst out of the giant true worm's body at supersonic speed."
"Why not just jump away?"
Xing asked with some doubt.
Dan Heng crossed his arms and shook his head: "The preparations required for the jump are numerous, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't attract the attention of the Zerg swarm again during the process."
Walter added again:
"This method does come with risks. The engine could spontaneously combust. But there's no better way."
“I think that’s inappropriate,” Yinzhi retorted at this moment.
"Is it possible that we... might fail?" March 7th scratched his head, his tone full of worry and uncertainty.
Walter shook his head: "To be honest, that's possible. The train's exterior walls might be melting in stomach acid."
Yinzhi looked serious.
"It seems the most heinous villain is right outside the car!"
March 7th scratched her head, her voice trembling: "How terrifying! Will my teddy bear and rabbit in my room be melted by stomach acid?"
They've been with me for a long time; I have to rescue them.
"Jiang Lin, what do you think?" Xing looked at Jiang Lin.
"I'm thinking..."
Walter reassured everyone, "I don't think everyone needs to worry. I just need some time to check the engine with Himeko. Everyone, just calm down."
Dan Heng also looked at everyone: "It's okay, we'll deal with any crisis together."
After Welt and Himeko left...
The people who stayed here all became very negative.
Villette, in particular, was almost ready to start writing his will.
But then I thought that if I died here, my will would be dissolved...
In the end, it was the train conductor Pam and the cheerful March 7 who managed to rouse everyone's spirits.
And at this time...
Yinzhi pulled Xing aside by herself.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Jiang Lin silently activated the aura of the Insect King once again.
And the giant true gnats in the starry sky…
After feeling the breath in my abdomen again...
It tried its best to pat its belly with its short limbs.
He seemed to be calling out something...
"You shut up... hurry up and spit it out!"
As it spoke, it slapped even harder...
Chapter 31 Successful Escape...
Meanwhile, on Silver Branch and Star's side...
Yinzhi placed one hand on her chest: "I apologize for my abruptness. It was very strange that I suddenly asked to speak with you alone."
In fact, I had a strong feeling that, as a pure and beautiful knight, this was a battle I had to face.
I think it's possible for me to get off the train and confront the giant stinging insect head-on, attacking its stomach wall with my long spear to cause it to spasm and vomit the train out.
"only you?"
"I find it hard to describe this phenomenon, but when I witness certain things, I feel a sense of 'beauty' from the bottom of my heart."
It is vague and can only be perceived instinctively.
Yinzhi turned around and then continued.
"Perhaps I've been traveling alone in the Milky Way for too long, and I can't understand where this feeling comes from."
But I know that as a knight, my duty is to protect the seeds that contain "beauty."
Standing before it, I can withstand everything...
And now, the Star Train is that seed.
He looked at the other people on the train: Himeko, Walter, March 7, Danheng, Vilit and Jiang Lin.
"I feel a sense of belonging here, a warmth like home, and I believe this stems from the deep affection between you all."
Yinzhi placed one hand on her chest, her tone resolute.
"Therefore, I vow to use my body as a shield to defend this ray of warmth, instead of living in peace and letting it in turn become a shield to protect me."
At this solemn and serious moment, Jiang Lin suddenly came over.
"Defend what? What do you mean by defending? Defend Emperor Wu?"
While interrupting Yinzhi's oath, Xing was also alerted. She then put her hands on her hips, her face serious:
"No matter what, I can't let you go alone."
