"Ahhh —!!!"
Accompanied by a scream, an aircraft that was spinning in the air crashed heavily into the ground.
"Who are you …"
Amidst the crushed bones and wood, the Scholar struggled to prop himself up and looked at the group of creatures in front of him.
This group of creatures … were quite short, about the same height as a dwarf. They looked exactly like a dwarf, but their bodies were glowing and they could use bows and arrows.
"Is this crystallization?" The Scholar remembered that there was a wonderful fungus in this world that could live in symbiosis with many kinds of creatures and crystallize their outer skin.
Although it could cover the creature with armor, it would also make the creature heavier and less agile. However, the Scholar had never heard of it changing the habits of creatures …
Dwarves did not like to use bows and arrows. For some reason, even the dwarves that lived with the Skeleton Dragon did not use bows and arrows, but this group of dwarves just used them.
There was only one shooting at the Scholar, but when it realized that it could not shoot down the Scholar, it called for a large group of its kind. Under continuous shooting, the Scholar's aircraft was stuck by a large number of arrows and could not fly.
"Wooooooo!"
A dwarf with a skull of some kind of creature shouted, and all the other dwarves surrounded the Scholar. They used rope-like vines to tie up the Scholar's six limbs. As they dragged the Scholar away, they also dismantled the Scholar's aircraft that was not completely shattered. Like skilled Voidfolk mechanics, they removed every piece of wood and bone from the aircraft. Other than the engine, the aircraft was instantly reduced to a pile of parts. They dragged the Scholar and the parts to a place.
… Soon. The day slowly passed, and night was about to arrive.
"What's going on?"
Under the starry sky, the Scholar found himself tied to a piece of wood, and a large number of dwarves gathered around him.
Some of these dwarves were glowing, and some were not crystallized. They were ordinary dwarves, but there was no difference when they interacted with each other. The crystallized dwarves did not seem to be receiving special treatment.
"Wooooooo!"
A dwarf that looked like a leader stood beside the Scholar, holding a bone club in his hand. He wore a bone on his head, and he kept shouting. The dwarves below cheered along with his voice.
"Wooooooo! Wooooo! "
Suddenly, the leader pointed his bone club at the Scholar. The dwarves suddenly burst into loud cheers. They jumped up in excitement, and some of them made various movements on the ground as if they were dancing. The Scholar had no idea what they were thinking.
"Wa wa wa wa wa!!"
The Scholar noticed that the Gnomes were cheering as they took out the bones in their hands. They piled a large number of bones together and formed a small hill.
"Wah — Oh!" Under the leader's command, the surrounding dwarves all jumped onto the small mountain of bones. They quickly pieced the bones together.
"How … How is this possible?"
The Scholar watched as the Gnomes rapidly assembled the bones. At first, the Scholar was puzzled, but after a while … The Scholar was getting more and more surprised. The dwarf put all the bones together, and the bones formed a shape that the Scholar was familiar with — an aircraft.
It was almost identical to the Scholar's. The propeller was made of two long bones pieced together, and the driver's seat was made of the hip bone of some kind of creature. There was also an operating stick made of sharp bones. It looked exactly the same as an aircraft, but it was completely made of bones. The engine was made of a pile of small bones pieced together to form the shape of an engine.
This made the Scholar feel a little incredulous. Even a skilled Voidman could not assemble an identical aircraft in such a short time if they had the materials.
"Wooooooo!" After the assembly was completed, the leader and a few dwarves jumped onto the driver's seat. He pulled the operating stick violently, and then pointed a finger at the sky and shouted, "Wooooooo!"
"…"
However, it was obvious that the aircraft made of bones could not even turn its propeller, let alone fly. After all, it did not have an engine …
"Wooooo …" The leader pulled the operating stick a few times, imitating the Scholar. However, when he realized that it did not work, he jumped down from the top and ran to the Scholar's side.
"Ahhhhhh!" The leader shouted at the Scholar.
Although the Scholar did not understand, he could guess that the dwarf was asking why the aircraft could not fly.
"Put me down first. I can teach you how to fly." The Scholar tried to struggle, indicating to the dwarves that he wanted to be released. At the same time, the Scholar pointed at the aircraft with his head, indicating that he had a way.
"Wooooo?" The leader of the dwarves tilted his head. After a few seconds, he said to a dwarf beside him, "Wooooooo!"
"Ahhhh!" A few dwarves immediately took a pile of excrement and climbed onto the Scholar's body, preparing to stuff it into his mouth.
"Ahhhhh! Stop!"
…
After that, the Scholar struggled frantically, and it seemed to have finally attracted the attention of the dwarves. These dwarves seemed to understand the Scholar's meaning and let him go.
However, the dwarves surrounded the Scholar, giving him no chance to escape. So, the Scholar could only do as he had promised and teach these dwarves how to build the aircraft.
The Scholar found that these dwarves were very strange. Although they seemed to be very intelligent, it was difficult for them to understand the Scholar's meaning. When the Scholar asked the dwarves to collect some materials, they looked puzzled.
Moreover, they would only give the Scholar excrement to eat and nothing else. They completely ignored the Scholar's desire to eat other things.
However, the Scholar still used drawings to teach the dwarves how to assemble an aircraft. However, what he taught them was not the original helicopter, but a two-winged aircraft with propellers.
This type of aircraft was more fuel-efficient, and sometimes it might even be able to fly without fuel. At the same time, it was simpler to construct and could fly faster.
The dwarves looked at the Scholar's drawings and learned very quickly. They quickly built a small version. At first, they were all made of bones. After a long time, the Scholar finally convinced the dwarves to use wood …
After using wood, the dwarves also built some aircraft that could glide. The Scholar intended to let them build the largest aircraft that was big enough for him to ride on. He would then put the engine of the previous aircraft into it.
The Scholar asked the dwarves to build the aircraft so that they could escape from them as soon as possible. (To be continued)
