Under the blood red sky, it was drizzling.
On the grey ground, two creatures were slowly moving forward.
"It's … been a long time."
"I didn't expect … it to be so long."
The ball of fur flew under a withered tree and landed on the ground.
The journey here had been going on for a long time … at first, the creator thought that this place would not be too big, it thought that this place was very close to the exit.
But in reality, this place was too big, now, they did not even know where they were …
The environment of this place was quite strange, it was barren land everywhere, the ground was like rotten mud, mixed with many bones and other things.
Other than that, the ground was gray and full of cracks. Occasionally, one or two withered trees could be seen on the ground. The sky was always red and drizzling, and the fog was not too thick. This was the overall environment of this place.
To the Voidfolk, this environment made them feel fear, and to the creator, this environment made them feel irritated.
But to Lin, the only thing that made her feel strange was that the Voidfolk who entered here was able to survive in this place for so long.
"Looks like we're lost, fur." The creator climbed under the tree, under the tree was one of the few places that was not affected by the rain.
In this place, one would feel cold, hungry, and tired, almost all the feelings were exactly the same as in the real world. Living here was a very difficult thing.
If one died here. In other words, he was truly dead.
Of course. To the creator, it was just a tentacle dying, but to the Voidfolk or the brain spirit who entered here, they would really die.
That was why the brain spirit wanted to seal this place and did not want to explore.
"Ah —!" Suddenly, the ball of fur heard a scream, in front of them in the quagmire, a strange creature crawled out …
There were many creatures here. These creatures were almost all extinct in the Voidfolk world, but they all had one thing in common, they would make the Voidfolk feel fear …
For example, the creature in front of them was like that.
It was called the 'Dragger' by the Voidfolk, it was a creature with long grey fur that lived in the quagmire, it had six limbs and was about the same size as the Voidfolk.
Its face looked like a Void Dweller with a cracked mouth. Every Void Dweller who saw it would feel extreme fear. The strangest thing was that its screams were very similar to the screams of Void Dwellers. It was said that these creatures used these screams to disguise themselves as Voidfolk who were in trouble in the swamp, and then dragged the Voidfolk into the swamp when they approached.
But in reality. The Voidfolk lived in the city and did not go to the swamps in the wild. Its cries were just so-so. Perhaps one of the Voidfolk saw this creature and came up with a story.
This was also the reason for their extinction.
"We need it for food, Fluffy." The creator looked at the dragger and said, "The speed of hunger here is much faster than outside … I underestimated this place."
"Yes."
The pompom simply replied.
The creatures here were all edible. Although some were poisonous, they seemed to be useless to the creator and the pompom. However, the difficulty of capturing the creatures was another problem …
"Go!" The creator suddenly bounced over and wrapped itself around the dragger's neck. The pompom immediately flew over and pierced through its head.
This kind of creature was relatively simple.
Tens of seconds later.
"This thing provides very little nutrients." The creator used the tip of the tentacle to eat the creature's flesh and said to the pompom, "Fluffy, now, we should find that Fool."
"Why do we need to find it?"
"Find it, we can see the range of its fear. From there, we can know how big this place is. " The creator said, "The things here are formed based on the Fool's fear. However, a Fool will not be afraid of too many things. In their small minds, their fear is limited."
"Fluffy, that's why I'm puzzled about this." The creator raised his tentacle and said, "The size of the world here has exceeded the range of the Fool's fear. I suspect that this world may be formed based on the fear of multiple Fools …"
"Multiple?" The pompom asked, "Didn't you say there was only one?"
"I'm not very clear about the rules here, Fluffy. This world will form its fear based on the first intruder, but if there is more than one intruder …"
"Hehehehehe …"
Just as the creator was talking, a strange sound was heard.
In the sky, there was a group of black creatures flying. They had black wings and were hairless. They were also making strange sounds.
Lin knew that they were a group of creatures called 'Night Laughs'. They made strange sounds that terrified the Voidfolk. Of course, the thing that scared the Voidfolk the most was their faces.
"Hehehe …" A Night Laugh swooped down from the sky and landed beside the corpse of the creature that the creator and the pompom had killed.
They were flying creatures that ate carrion. The Night Laughs' faces were very round and were covered with circles of barb-like teeth. There were no eyes or other organs. They used the teeth on their faces to scrape the flesh off and eat …
Because their appearance and cries were too scary, these creatures were hunted by the Voidfolk in large numbers …
But now, they seemed to want to kill the creator. More Night Laughs landed beside the corpse. They not only liked to eat rotten meat, they also liked to catch living things.
However, they also had a certain level of intelligence. They might have seen the pompom and the creator killing the dragger, so they were hesitating whether to move forward or not.
"It's time to go, Fluffy." Seeing more and more Night Laughs, the creator climbed down from the corpse and crawled away.
Although it was the creator, it was only a broken tentacle. It did not have the ability to fight against so many creatures.
Although Lin felt that the pompom could win, she did not care too much. She followed the creator and left this place.
The pompom looked back. After leaving, the group of Night Laughs pounced on the corpse and started to devour it.
…
"How do we find those Voidfolk?" while flying, the pompom asked the creator.
"I found a clue just now." Saying that, the creator spat out something from the tentacle. "Look."
This is … a bullet from the Voidfolk? The pompom grabbed the small thing that the creator spat out and found that it was a very old type of bullet. The Voidfolk had used it in wars before.
"The creature that we caught just now was attacked," the creator said. The creator said, "Based on its scent, we can find the Fools … Yes … They are nearby."
This bullet did have a smell. In that case, the Voidfolk here were quite powerful. They could create weapons in this environment?
Then we have to take a look at them.
Just like that, Lin and the creator changed their target and headed towards the path of finding those 'Fools'.
As they moved forward, they found many traces left behind by them. There were traces of fires in the holes under some withered trees, footprints in other places, as well as skeletons of creatures that had been hunted.
Other than that, Lin also saw many creatures. These creatures … might be able to reappear in the world of the Voidfolk.
Based on the various traces, the pompom and the creator found a special place.
Boom — —!
Lightning flashed across the sky. The creator and the pompom arrived in front of a large building.
This building looked like a rotting wooden house. The wooden door at the entrance was hanging there shakily, and the inside was pitch black. Nothing could be seen.
However, they could smell something from inside.
"They should be hiding here. Fluffy, we need to hide as well."
The creator went into the entrance. The pompom also changed its color and flew in.
Boom — —! As the lightning lit up the sky once again, Lin finally got a good look at the structure of this house. The cracked floor, the cracked walls, and the scattered furniture. This was obviously a very old void-folk house, everything here was quite old for a void-folk.
And this house had a second floor.
Lin could hear voices coming from the second floor.
It sounded like some Voidfolk were talking.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
"Soon, we'll find that thing. We can get rid of this place and those glowing things."
"We've already gotten rid of them! But we've entered another nightmare. Wait, something's coming in. "
"Is there? It must be an illusion. "
"There's no illusion in this world."
The creator and the pompom came to the top of the stairs. They could see a few Voidfolk sitting on the ground on the second floor. They wore clothes that looked like 'raincoats', but there were many small holes in them.
And they all held weapons in their hands, but it didn't feel like they made them.
"I can feel … the fear of these Fools." The creator lay beside the pompom and said, "Their fear is quite great. They are the reason why this world was formed."
"They're here!" Suddenly, a Voidfolk shouted. But it didn't rush over. Instead, it opened a window and jumped down. A few other Voidfolk also jumped down after it.
What were they doing? The pompous ball and the Creator went to the window to look and realized that a huge black shadow had appeared in the misty rain outside …
"Follow them, Fluffy." The creator also jumped down and said, "I've found the edge of their fear."
