Clap!
A small flame lit up the land that was filled with darkness.
This was once a place filled with fire and smoke, but now, as if a storm had just passed, the island entered a short period of silence and darkness.
In the darkness, some creatures used the incendiary materials they brought to light small bonfires on the beach and discussed the previous battle.
That sudden war had ended, and the core 'protagonist' of the war — the pope's floating fortress — was now a huge shadow the size of a hill, lying quietly on the island in the night.
Small bonfires lit up beside the remains of the fortress. These bonfires were made by the Emerald Dragons and Skeleton Dragons. They were eating all kinds of food, and the smell of food filled the air.
At the same time, some Emerald Dragons had built 'watchtowers' to prevent them from being attacked again. However, many Emerald Dragons thought that this was unnecessary because the sky was filled with insects.
They had been circling the sky since the beginning of the battle and had never stopped.
"Do you really think that it's controlled?" Susumi sat on one side of the bonfire while the Scholar sat on the other side. Susumi looked at the Scholar and said, "… I don't think that the creatures called 'brain worms' can be controlled."
"Why do you think so?" the Scholar asked. "Although their spirits are strong, but …"
"I've lived for a long time. I have a lot of time to understand … all kinds of things." Susumi looked at the fortress. A large number of insects were gathered near the huge wreckage. They kept digging at the fragments of the wreckage, as if trying to find the pope.
"Queen, it seems that the enemy's warships have all crashed."
An Emerald Dragon ran over from afar and reported to Susumi.
Under Susumi's orders, the Emerald Dragons also participated in the excavation. However, they weren't excavating the fortress. Instead, they were inspecting the pope's aircraft.
As the Emerald Dragons had lost many of their ships, they were trying to find materials from the aircraft to repair them.
"They were all attacked by the brain worms," the Scholar said. The Scholar said, "You saw the orbs of light, right? The brain spirit attacked us while we were fighting."
The Scholar also looked at the wreckage of the fortress. This fortress wasn't destroyed by the Inca swarm. It was hit by the light from afar, even though it was already on the verge of collapse. But the crucial blow was delivered by Brainwave.
Although the fortress had been destroyed, the imam inside should be fine. There were some very sturdy 'rooms' inside, and the Inca bugs could sense the imam's' aura 'from inside. So now they planned to dig the immortal out.
The Scholar wanted the Inca swarm to not kill the imam yet, but the swarm did not respond.
"Those things called brain spirits want to use this opportunity to destroy all of us, and that Head Teacher is just an 'object' that can be abandoned," Susumi said. "In any case, after we find the Head Teacher, I believe those insects will kill him."
"Who did you kill? Kill me? I'm so scared. " Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Susumi and the Scholar's bonfire. It was the brain-created monster from before.
"This thing is still here?" Susumi looked at the brain-created monster and said, "These creatures have very strong vitality."
"You don't have brains to eat here?" The brain-created monster looked at the food beside the bonfire and said, "There are no brains here. There's no bite. "
"The fortress was destroyed mainly because of this thing," the Scholar said. "Its brainwaves affected the imam, and the fortress's attack became slower. So I think the imam is being controlled."
The brain-created monster said to the Scholar, "You told me to do it! You told me to kill it, don't push the responsibility to me, or I'll kill you! "
"I've seen these creatures before." Susumi said, "They used to be normal, but now they're becoming more and more abnormal."
"That's because they're getting further and further away from the brain. These creatures … used to work together according to the 'brain's' orders. For the sake of the brain, for the sake of the brain, they've been working hard. But recently, they've been getting further and further away from the brain. In their thoughts, the brain's voice is no longer as loud. Without the guidance of the brain, they've started to lose their sense of direction … "
At this time, another creature appeared near the bonfire, and it explained the brain-created monster's situation. And this creature was …
"Imam?" The Scholar looked at the small and round creature in shock and said, "When … No, you're not the imam."
The Scholar looked at the creature carefully and found that it was different from the imam. First, it was slightly bigger, and it was riding a … Cryopteris.
"I seem to be late, don't mind me."
This creature should be one of the brain-created creatures. Although it was riding a Cryopteris, it was not Maya, but … Moketu. And it appeared beside the bonfire like a ghost.
"Why …" the Scholar asked, "Only now? You should have received … the invitation. "
"I'm late because I had a strange feeling before." Moketu looked at the Scholar, then looked at Susumi and said, "None of you felt … the imam had an abnormal emotion, so I decided to observe first, then arrive, quietly arrive, now …"
Moketu looked at the wreckage in the distance and said, "As I expected."
"Now, the brain-created monster is living with us." The Cryopteris under Moketu said, "The imam is probably the same, so it decided to attack us before."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hearing this, the brain-created monster suddenly opened its mouth to bite the Cryopteris, but the Cryopteris roared at an even faster speed. The brain-created monster suddenly screamed and kept retreating …
"No, the imam will make rational decisions," the Scholar said, "It won't be so simple …"
"This is a very simple matter." The Cryopteris said, "We know ourselves very well, we know our personalities very well, and we also know the personalities of our own kind. The imam's thinking may be much simpler than you think."
"But, we don't have to care about this now. In a while, we can gather the troops to attack those things in the south, and at the same time … save Maya."
"…" The Scholar wanted to say something, but it remained silent. Everything could wait until they found the imam. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Please search for Floating Astronomy.
