Why was she the only one affected?

Qiong asked in confusion, "If Onpharos is a poison circle, they should all be wiped out. It doesn't make sense to target only March 7th."

"It's just a matter of time, but I don't know for sure."

Sunday shook his head and said that the situation silenced everyone and brought the exploration to a standstill, but only Qiong's thinking was not affected.

“This place is no good. On March 7th, let’s leave now. Let’s not go to Onpharos. How about we go to Car Wash Star? It’s bound to be full of foam and water there.”

Qiong grasped March 7's hand and said, "What he said was quite bold. He directly gave up on pioneering Onpharos, which meant that the trip was in vain." Himeko and Welt wanted to say something, but seeing March 7's situation, leaving was indeed the best option.

"Don't worry, we've come all the way to such a mysterious place, how can we give up just because of me? Let's set off first, I'll catch up with you as soon as I recover."

March 7th could feel Qiong's care for her. He was the first to stand up and the one who was most worried about her. When it came to her feelings for him, March 7th also showed a faint smile.

"March 7th, don't gamble with your life. The train can't be without you, and neither can I..."

Qiong was still very worried about March 7's physical condition. This kind of accident had never happened before. He was afraid that March 7's life force would be absorbed by some strange thing, and then he would really be doomed.

"Wow, why are they putting on a sentimental show? It's no big deal, don't be afraid."

March 7 knew what Qiong wanted to say. Their relationship had been more than friends but less than lovers for a long time, but neither of them had confessed. However, they liked each other, so it was only natural for Qiong to worry about her, and March was also very happy.

"Qiong, here you go. Take my camera with you. We agreed to take pictures when we land, so I can only ask you for help now."

On March 7th, Qiong handed his blue camera to Qiong. Qiong hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, so March 7th put his arm around Qiong's shoulder and gave him a gentle hug. Only then did Qiong put the camera away.

"Let's go outside and talk first, so that March 7th can get some rest."

Himeko spoke up, and Sora glanced at March Seven with concern. After waving to her, she left the room with the others and chatted in the corridor.

“Qiong, I know you’re worried about March 7, but everything about Onpharos is unknown. Even if we leave now, it might not solve her physical condition.”

Himeko said to Sora, which was also the reason why she did not agree to leave. If leaving would restore her health, she could just let March Seven leave on her own using the Boundary Anchor. But it was too risky to do so without knowing the cause of her illness.

"You mean, on March 7th, something was taken from Onphalus?"

Upon hearing this, Qiong frowned and said that he had no good feelings towards Onfaros anymore. March 7 was a girl he cared about very much, and now Onfaros was threatening her safety.

"Let's just consider this a guess. I'd like you and Miss Huang Quan to lead the way on this pioneering journey, along with Dan Heng."

Ji Zi looked at Dan Heng and said that Dan Heng understood what she meant. Qiong was an impulsive person. If he and Huang Quan were to go over there, then the people of Onfaros would be in real trouble. Huang Quan, the ethereal messenger, only had feelings for Qiong and was practically his accomplice. Dan Heng's task was to persuade Qiong in time.

"Okay, I have no objection."

Qiong nodded in agreement. If the method for recovery on March 7th was in Onfaros, he would go without hesitation, and the plan was thus finalized.

After agreeing, Qiong turned around and went back to March 7's room. She still looked very weak, but she smiled when she saw Qiong.

"Little March, you rest well here. I'll go check on Onfaros first. You'll be alright."

Qiong saw that March 7th's back was bent over and knew that she didn't even have the strength to sit. So she bent down to take off her shoes and socks, lifted her legs and put her on the bed, and then covered her with a quilt.

People often say that idiots don't get sick, but you're even more of an idiot.

March 7th lay flat on her back and said to Qiong. Qiong smiled at her, lowered his head and kissed her cheek before leaving.

"How dare you take advantage of my weakness to ambush me?"

March 7th glared at Qiong and said, "He's taking advantage of my misfortune, that's really wicked." She raised her hand to hit Qiong, but he nimbly dodged it and ran out of the room in a flash. After watching him leave, March 7th closed her eyes and fell asleep, so that he wouldn't worry.

Chapter 428 Unexpected and Super Unexpected

"Should we ram it in with a train?"

Qiong asked Himeko, "Although we've decided to go, neither I nor Danheng have the power to traverse the universe. We still need to consider how to get into that shining star."

"Of course not Pa!"

Pam was very dissatisfied with Sora's behavior of not treasuring the train, but Sora's thinking was indeed spot on.

"This journey is dangerous, so the train conductor has specially prepared a handkerchief for you in the carriage."

"Onfaros is outside the service range of interstellar peace communications and lacks means of long-distance communication. In order to provide you with maximum support, we plan to detach a car from the Star Train and use it as a landing capsule, which can also serve as a safe house after landing."

Himeko continued Pam's words and explained to Sora how to enter Onpharos. Sora showed an expression of "I knew it," knowing that he had not guessed wrong. The difference was that the train was separated into sections. The many carriages of the Starry Sky Train were not just for show.

"Don't worry, the carriages have independent propulsion systems that will definitely get you into Onfaros and find a safe place to land."

Pam was most confident when it came to trains. It said that if it was safe, it was definitely safe. Qiong and Danheng trusted it too. After they were ready, they walked with Huang Quan through the long carriages and came to the last carriage of the train.

This place is no different from a regular passenger car, with all the necessary facilities, including rooms. It can indeed be used as a safe house. The protection of the pioneering power makes it resistant to damage, and it can even be brought out of lava if it falls into it. It is a rare and valuable means of transportation.

"The carriages are preparing to separate! Three, two, one!"

Pam's voice came from the loudspeaker. Qiong stood in the carriage looking out the window and realized that she was getting further and further away from the train. Then, the six thrusters under the carriage ignited at the same time and rushed towards the shining Onpharos.

After entering the glittering star, Qiong felt a momentary lapse in consciousness, as if he were about to faint. At this moment, Huang Quan reached out and touched his forehead, and Qiong quickly regained his senses. When he looked out the window again, he saw a giant.

This giant was at least several thousand meters tall, carrying an object that looked like a large bowl on its back. Qiong looked at it more closely and found that the giant was not a living creature, but a stone sculpture. The technology and magical power of Onpharos, which could build such a huge stone sculpture, must be far superior to that of ordinary civilizations.

The carriage flew past the giant. Qiong continued to look down and found that the surrounding environment was a series of mountains. It must have been nighttime, as the environment was dark. Some broken buildings could be seen built inside the mountains, but there were no traces of intelligent life. They were probably just ruins.

"The Underworld..."

Qiong was about to discuss his thoughts after seeing these things with Huang Quan when her eyes suddenly sharpened. She grabbed Qiong's waist and pulled him behind her. The scabbard of the katana automatically fell off, revealing the sharp blade, and then she slashed forward.

boom!

The side of the carriage shattered with a crash, and a long spear was pierced into the carriage but blocked by Huang Quan's katana. The moment the spear and katana touched, a large number of sparks burst out. Huang Quan frowned slightly, and the katana quickly turned crimson red before he slashed out with it.

Stab it!

The sound of space being shattered appeared, and a crimson blade light flew out along with the spear on the blade. The spear fell into the mountains, but the blade light that Huang Quan swung seemed to be tracking a target and flew away into the distance. The blade light quickly disappeared from sight. Qiong opened his mouth and waited for more than ten seconds, but then heard a wail from afar.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The wails were filled with anger, resentment, surprise, and other emotions, but one thing was certain: something had died under Huang Quan's blade. Although the attacker's purpose and motives for attacking the carriage were unknown, Huang Quan would not show mercy to such a despicable person and would kill without hesitation.

"Dead?" Qiong asked Huang Quan.

"died."

Huang Quan said confidently, she was very confident in her abilities. Just now it was a serious strike from the Void Envoy, who infused his Void Destiny into the blade light. This strike was enough to shatter space and cut beyond Onfaros. If it landed on the local natives, they would naturally be reduced to ashes and no one could save them.

"What kind of hellish place is this Black Tower? Is this how they greet us?"

Qiong looked at the broken wood and glass scattered on the ground, as well as the cold wind constantly blowing in from outside, and was immediately furious. Onpharos was a damned place. It had taken away March 7's energy before, and now it wanted to kill her. If it weren't for Huang Quan being there, the carriage would definitely have crashed.

"Danheng, are you alright?"

Qiong looked at Dan Heng and asked, "Just now, only Huang Quan could react to this situation. Dan Heng didn't even know what happened. Now that everything is over, he is still frowning and thinking."

"It's alright. The carriage's defenses are actually quite strong. That gun must have been thrown out by a powerful individual. We've been targeted since we arrived, so let's proceed with caution."

That was all Dan Heng could say. Just as he was about to ask about Qiong's condition, a chilling power appeared beside him. Even Huang Quan showed a surprised expression and looked at Qiong's body.

Qiong was now enveloped in the power of destiny. He had previously possessed four different destinies, making him a super opportunist. However, the power of destiny he possessed now was none of the previous ones; it was the cold and piercing power of memory.

At this moment, Qiong looked up and saw that he was not in a train carriage, but in a colorful universe. Standing in front of him was a star god whose entire body was made of ice. He did have a human form, wearing a rectangular crown as if a king had descended to earth. A string of beaded curtains hung down in front of the crown to cover his face, but there were no facial features on his face, only black ice.

"Memory Star God, Fu Li."

Qiong uttered the name of the star god before him somewhat haltingly. It wasn't that he was scared, but rather that his body was instinctively trembling in the cold memories of destiny, the power of destiny surging into his body regardless of whether he wanted to accept it or not.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Do you think I'm handsome?"

Qiong couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand why he was glanced at by the Star God of Memory as soon as he arrived in Onfaros. He felt very familiar with this feeling. He had been seen three times before, and each time the Star God would give him a destiny gift package. If there was no misunderstanding, he would be a person with a destiny of memory after he left.

As Fu Li's figure gradually disappeared, Qiong also emerged from the star god's gaze. He looked at Huang Quan and Dan Heng beside him. Both of them clearly sensed that some important figure had just passed by, but neither of them made any wild guesses.

"Haha, well, I got a look from Fu Li, and he seems to find what's going on here quite interesting."

Qiong smiled awkwardly, unable to think of a way to explain to his companions. The only reason he could think of for the Star God to look at him was that the memories here were worth seeing, to the point that even the Star God had to stand up to look at them. No wonder the Black Swan had gone to great lengths to trick him into coming here; even her boss liked this.

P.S., where in the underworld can one still suffer injustice? To put it simply...

I thought it was a speed bump. I couldn't see it because of the blind spot. What were they mumbling in Titan language? Go tell my Void Commander, we're all trying so hard to live. I've tried so hard, how come you're still alive?

Chapter 429 Pink Puppy

"I don't know what to do about your situation. Let's land first and repair the carriage."

Dan Heng covered his forehead and said, "Qiong was glanced at by the Star God as soon as he arrived. This is not a good thing for a journey that has just begun. Based on the previous experiences, the Star God only stood up to look at them when they were about to die. But they were glanced at as soon as they entered Onfaros. Isn't this telling them that this godforsaken place is very dangerous and they should leave quickly?"

"Too."

Qiong agreed with Danheng's statement. This carriage was still very important. Without it, even moving would be a problem. After being attacked, it had started to sway, and Qiong was afraid that it would fall down immediately.

Danheng went to the control room of the carriage, grabbed a lever and slowly pressed it down. The carriage's propulsion began to weaken, and it fell towards a flat hill with ruins, landing safely on the ground.

"I'm in charge of repairing the carriages. You try communicating with the train."

Danheng took out a pile of wood and a toolbox from the warehouse and said, "At this moment, Qiong felt that reading books was still beneficial. Danheng had never done carpentry before, but he knew how to do it."

Qiong took out her phone, found the Starry Sky Train family group chat, sent a few messages, and saw a message sending failure message. Obviously, there was no way to connect to the outside world from here.

"Why don't you go and check out the surrounding area first?"

Danheng was already laying wood, and it looked like it would take some time to repair the carriage. Qiong looked around and found that there was only one road leading to a stone gate, so she took Huangquan's hand and walked over.

Qiong, being an outsider, certainly didn't have the key to open the door, but as he approached the stone door, a faint light appeared on it, and the stone door opened automatically, revealing the passage inside.

"Oh, it's an automatic door."

Qiong is now fairly certain that this is a magical world, because the working principle of this stone door seems to have nothing to do with science. Ahead is a dilapidated corridor, which means that this building was once very magnificent, but now it is in ruins, with rubble everywhere.

Qiong and Huangquan entered the building and found that the right side of the corridor connected to an empty platform. Beyond the platform was the dark mountain. This building was originally built in the mountains. Looking out, they could see traces of other buildings, but they were not very clear.

"Wait, someone is watching us."

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Qiong's forehead. He looked behind him and saw a pink shadow disappear quickly. He rubbed his eyes. If it wasn't a hallucination, it looked like a pink puppy that could fly.

“It’s gone,” Huang Quan said.

"Did you see it too?"

"Yes, it's pink."

Huang Quan's words confirmed that Qiong was not mistaken. He thought for a moment, then took Huang Quan's hand and walked back. After a few steps, he looked back and saw the pink puppy again. It was floating in the distance, looking at Qiong, as if it wanted to lead him forward, but Qiong refused.

Since Danheng was still inside the carriage, Qiong didn't want to go too far. She just wanted to check the situation briefly. If Danheng's home had been stolen by something, that would be a real disaster.

"Come back so soon?"

Dan Heng was adjusting the wood in his hands when he saw Qiong and Huang Quan return. He said, "If they have made any discoveries, it is normal for them to come back now."

“There are natives here, and I saw a pink puppy,” Qiong said.

"If it's a dog, it must have an owner. There should be human-like creatures living here."

Dan Heng nodded. Qiong's decision to come back was correct, because if they went any further, they might see the dog's owner, which could cause unnecessary conflict. It would be better to wait until he finished repairing the carriage before going together.

Danheng was repairing the carriage, and Qiong couldn't help much. So she sat down at the tea table inside the carriage, took out the coffee machine and made Huang Quan a cup of coffee that suited her taste, and made a cup for herself as well. Outside it was a dark night, but inside the carriage were warm orange lights and hot coffee, which made her feel warm.

"Hmm, I feel like something's missing. Where's my signature weapon?"

Qiong stroked his chin, deep in thought, feeling as if something was missing. Huang Quan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What special weapon?"

“Every time I’m looked at by the Star God, I get a corresponding weapon. Before, I had a baseball bat, a rifle, and a hat, but now I’m empty-handed. It’s not appropriate.”

Qiong meant that he was criticizing the Memory Star God for only looking at him without giving anything in return. He felt that he, a handsome young man, was being looked at for nothing, and despite his large size, the God of Memories didn't even offer a reward, just taking advantage of him for free.

"You should realize you're using local weapons, right? Just wait for the locals to give them to you."

Huang Quan smiled slightly and explained how Qiong obtained all the weapons. None of them were given by the Star God. So far, the only weapon they had seen directly bestowed by the Star God was Fei Xiao's axe.

"Hey, you mean that spear just now, wasn't it...?"

"I don't think so."

While Qiong and Huang Quan were chatting, Dan Heng repaired the carriage. Fortunately, it was only the corridor side that was damaged; if the guest room side had been breached, he would have been helpless.

Chapter 430 Such a strong sense of security

"Let's go and take a look at the front."

Dan Heng opened the carriage door and stepped out, followed by Qiong and Huang Quan. However, looking around at the barren land, he felt it wasn't safe to continue like this.
