"That's it … done!"
Under the scorching sun, a creature called the Scholar was trying its best to piece together an object in front of it — an aircraft.
After returning to the ground, the Scholar used the sunlight to charge the imaging device and found the location of its aircraft.
It also found something that could be used to repair the aircraft.
However, unlike its initial idea, the Scholar did not use the creator's roots to repair the aircraft. Instead, it used some bones.
These bones were found by the Scholar on its way back. It did not know what kind of creature it belonged to, but it was quite resilient and could be used as a prop to repair the aircraft.
Moreover, the aircraft's propeller and engine were not damaged. It only needed to repair the other parts of the aircraft and the aircraft could rise again!
"Finally, it's done." The Scholar tried to turn on the engine. There was still some liquid left in the engine. This liquid was difficult to spoil, so it could still fly.
Now, the remaining energy was enough to fly to find a new Bewitching Fruit.
However, the Scholar did not want to fly so soon because it felt … hungry.
"I need to find something to eat." The Scholar looked at the salt ground around it and remembered the plants that tasted like meat in the cave.
After being parasitized by the fungi, the Scholar did not feel any particularly big changes. However, there were some small changes. In addition to being able to glow in the dark, it also found that its sense of smell became more sensitive. They could smell things from a long distance away.
However, there was also a disadvantage. It was easier to feel hungry.
The Scholar originally thought that it was more resistant to hunger, but now it found that the speed of hunger was faster than before. It was obvious that the fungi were sharing nutrients with it.
However, as long as it didn't cause any harm to its body, the Scholar didn't really care if it was just a small problem.
… No, it did not seem to be indifferent.
Now, where should it go to find food?
Under the scorching sun, the salt ground was still so desolate. Only a few 'extreme creatures' such as salt jade would appear in this place. If that's the case …
Then it's better to leave first.
Thinking. The Scholar sat on its aircraft. After starting the engine, the aircraft made a 'click' sound and rose into the sky.
Then. Where should it fly to? The Scholar thought as it operated the aircraft. It thought that if it reached Lin's base, it should be able to solve the problem of the parasites.
However, it didn't plan to go back now because it realized that the fungus didn't have much effect on its body. Moreover, it had many benefits, such as its sense of smell, which was very important. Furthermore, it had confirmed that the fungus would not grow any further. It had maintained a stable state and would not harm its life. Just like how it wouldn't hurt the Chibcha bug.
Moreover, the fungus could glow on its body. The Scholar had used the imaging device to see how it glowed, and it felt that it was much cooler than before.
Although there were no Voidfolk here to look at it, the Scholar realized that she still cared a lot about her appearance.
However, what the Scholar wanted to find now was food.
It flew across the sky. The Scholar looked at the vast land. There were not many living creatures on the salt ground. However, some could still be seen. Carnivorous plants were more common in salt flats, but other creatures were rarer.
Since that was the case, he could only fly back to the plains from before.
What was that?
The Scholar suddenly saw a strange 'device' on the wasteland below. It looked like it was assembled from a large number of bones, and its shape was somewhat similar to …
Catapults?
Bang! Just as this thought popped into the Scholar's mind, the device below suddenly threw out a huge object. This object smashed towards the Scholar!
The Scholar hurriedly pulled the lever, and the object flew past the Scholar. At the same time, the Scholar was able to clearly see the object's true appearance. It was a sphere made of bones, about three meters in diameter, and there were several creatures inside …
Gnomes.
Slap! After the bone sphere flew past the Scholar, it fell on the ground and shattered into pieces. However, the gnomes inside it ran out of the pile of broken bones as if nothing had happened. The Scholar noticed that there were also many gnomes on the catapults below. They pulled the catapults and aimed at the Scholar in the air, ready to launch another attack.
The Scholar hurriedly pulled the lever in its hand and let the aircraft fly higher in the air. At the same time, another bone sphere flew over.
However, because the distance was too high, the bone sphere did not hit the Scholar.
"They're all sitting in the sphere?" The Scholar realized that the bone sphere was also filled with gnomes. They seemed to have burrowed into the sphere and then flew out like bullets. This strange behavior did not hurt them.
The Scholar ignored them and quickly flew in another direction. It did not want to be caught by the gnomes.
However, the gnomes seemed to be very interested in the Scholar. When they saw the Scholar turn, they quickly ran after the Scholar's aircraft on the ground, as if they did not want the Scholar to escape.
Clack clack clack clack …
The Scholar's aircraft was constantly making noises, and it was difficult for it to speed up. Although it was flying faster than the gnomes, the Scholar was worried that it would not be able to fly out of the gnomes' sight before it ran out of energy.
This was a vast plain. If it could fly over the forest, it might be easier to shake off the gnomes …
Over there!
The Scholar suddenly noticed a large group of creatures on the salt flats in front of it — the Pang Yanyu.
The Pang Yanyu was a subspecies of the Yanyu. Just like the Yanyu, they liked to use salt as protection. However, they were gentler than the Yanyu because they were vegetarian. They often traversed the salt wasteland and went to various places in search of plants to eat.
Although they were vegetarian, they would not be polite to anything that came close to them.
The Scholar immediately controlled the aircraft to fly above the group of creatures. The gnomes ran after it, but when they approached the Yanyu group, they hesitated.
"Now's the time!" The Scholar quickly increased its speed to the maximum. This would consume extra energy, but it also flew very far away, shaking off the gnomes that were following it …
When it saw that the gnomes were blocked by the Yanyu group and did not follow it, the Scholar sighed in relief.
"Phew, now, I should fly over there."
In the distance, a tall mountain appeared in front of the Scholar. There were many plants growing at the foot of the mountain. The Scholar thought that it should be able to find food there. With that in mind, it flew over there.
The Scholar planned to rest for a while before flying to other 'famous scenic spots' on the continent. (To be continued)
