THWIIIIIP—CLANG!
As the five-mile-long Star-Train No. 1 glided down onto the gray stone floor of Dust-Rock Moon’s main crater, a thick net of gleaming silver cables shot out of the central pit and wrapped three times around the front locomotive’s nose cone!
“Apply the air brakes!” Boom-Pot Sun yelled, pulling the heavy iron brake lever with both hands.
SCREEEEECH!
Golden sparks showered off the iron wheels as the train slid to a smooth stop inside the fifty-mile crater.
Even though the train weighed ten million tons, the silver web wrapping the front bumper didn’t snap! Instead, each strand of thumb-thick silver silk stretched like high-tension spring steel, humming with a deep musical note as it absorbed the train’s remaining momentum without breaking a single thread.
Up on the roof of the locomotive, Ye Guhan narrowed his eyes, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword as he stared down at the monstrous creature blocking the track.
Standing three hundred feet tall in the center of the moon crater was a Rank 7 Early Silver-Back Moon-Spider King!
