"I don't know how they are doing, but they're better off dead than alive."
The bright sun shone on everything in sight. Two creatures were riding on a small metal boat, listening to the rumbling sound of the boat as they slowly sailed.
One of the creatures on the boat was the one called the Scholar.
It was now looking at the vast sea and the sky. It had opened the helmet of its armor. When it felt the warm and peaceful atmosphere, it was a little puzzled.
"Speaking of which, according to the records on the map, we should have almost reached the destination. Why are we still drifting on the sea?"
The Scholar stood at the bow of the boat, and the other creature stood on its head. Whenever the Scholar spoke, the small Cryopteris would follow up with a sentence.
At first, the Boilerplate could not speak. It could only make a few cooing sounds, but after a few days, it could speak. At first, the Scholar thought that it would learn to speak because Maya said that the Boilerplate would learn from her. However, it did not seem to learn at all. Instead, it said all kinds of strange words, and occasionally, strange words.
"Why is it like this?" Thinking about it, the Scholar poked the Cryopteris on its head. The Cryopteris said, "Because, therefore, it doesn't make sense."
"Forget it … At least it can relieve boredom." The Scholar thought and continued to operate the boat forward.
This boat was the Emerald Dragon, but it was very small. It could easily capsize if it encountered a big storm. However, the Scholar's armor allowed it to live in the water, so it wasn't very worried.
Now, dozens of days and nights had passed since the war. The Scholar knew from the video device. Maya and the others were still in the Southern Continent. Everything was still very peaceful there.
There were no problems with the fungus or the brain spirit. It seemed that everything was resolved …
And …
The Scholar looked at a picture in the video. This picture showed a blue tumbler … the moon.
The moon was slowly moving away from the pompom. The moon should have begun to become normal, so the Scholar could enjoy the journey with peace of mind.
However, now was not the time to enjoy it because … it hadn't discovered the journey yet.
"We are drifting on the sea …" Cryopteris sang on the Scholar's head. "Enjoying the warm sea breeze, facing the terrifying sea monsters …"
"Terrifying sea monsters?" The Scholar was shocked. Because it saw a huge shadow in front of the boat.
Bang! In the shadow of the sea, a huge creature suddenly rushed out. It opened its mouth and bit at the scholar's ship.
The Scholar quickly twisted the bow of the ship, and the ship turned in another direction. The creature hit the side of the hull, causing the ship to shake for a moment before diving into the water.
"That was dangerous …"
Although this Explosive Roar Bug often said some strange things, most of what it said was the 'truth', so scholars had to be very careful.
Fortunately, the creature did not continue to attack. Instead, it quickly swam away. However, the scholar remembered that the creature was called …
"That's a new world!"
Suddenly. The Cryopteris's, and the Scholar saw the shadow in the distance. The Scholar's boat's's's's boat moved..
"Finally, we found the island." The Scholar looked at the island that was getting closer and closer. It had a wide beach and a few coastal plants.
The Scholar steered the boat to the shore and landed on the beach.
"Watch your head." Cryopteris suddenly said. The Scholar looked up and saw a large number of black shadows in the sky. A large number of creatures flew over.
The Scholar noticed that these creatures were … Inca bugs. They began to descend rapidly and flew to the Scholar's's's's''s''s''s''s''s' '.
"Why are they all gathering here?" The Scholar looked at the bugs and walked to the center of the island. Cryopteris said, "The army is here. Not a single blade of grass grows."
"There is no grass here," the Scholar said. "And they …"
When the Scholar approached, a beetle in the swarm suddenly turned to look at the Scholar. It vibrated its wings and said, "You are here."
"I am here, and I am not here." It was Cryopteris who said this. The Scholar quickly said, "Don't mind it. Why are you all gathered here?"
"To prepare." The beetle used its wings to speak in a language the Scholar could understand. "To prepare for a war."
"A war?" The Scholar was confused. "Is it that …"
"Yes, that is the day the world ends," Cryopteris said.
"It is about to begin." The Inca beetle said, "We are going to another place. You can … come and take a look."
"Take a look?" The Scholar said. "Can I really go and take a look?"
Cryopteris said, "Go and witness that moment together. Witness the center of the beginning and the end. Witness the endless miracle. Yes, you are the … bystander in this story!"
"…" The Scholar thought that the Cryopteris did not know how to learn. Perhaps it had a set of 'lines' in its head and would only say them when it felt appropriate.
"Then come and take a look." The beetle in front of the Scholar turned around and walked towards the center of the island. The Scholar heard this and followed.
There was a large number of insects on the island, and they were all looking in the same direction. In the center of the island, there was a … cave.
"There is a cave here … It must lead to the abyss."
The Scholar and Cryopteris came to the edge of the cave. The diameter of the cave was more than fifty meters, and it looked quite large. In the cave, they could vaguely see a very large object.
"What is that?" "We have to get closer to see the truth."
Just as the Scholar and Cryopteris were staring at the object in the cave, the surrounding insects suddenly rushed into the cave. At the same time, the object in the cave shone brightly.
The Scholar noticed that it seemed to be a very large beetle. There were many 'entrances' around its body, and the surrounding insects were all entering those entrances.
The Scholar knew that this was the battleship of the Inca swarm, but it seemed to be much larger than the ones she had seen before. It should have been built during this period of time. How could they build such a large battleship in such a short time?
After the surrounding insects had all entered, the battleship made a rumbling sound and slowly moved forward from the cave. The Scholar saw this and quickly retreated to a safe place …
'Boom!' After a few seconds, the battleship rushed out of the cave with a loud rumbling sound and flew straight into the sky.
"Looking at it from such a close distance … It is magnificent." The Scholar looked at the sky from the ground. Suddenly, she saw a flash of light in the direction of the battleship. She saw … a beetle flying back from there.
This beetle was very similar to the battleship, but it was only thirty meters long, much smaller than the previous one. However, its shape was exactly the same as the previous one, and there were many 'entrances' around its body.
It landed in front of the Scholar, and at the same time, a voice said to the Scholar, "Take this."
"…" The Scholar looked at the beetle. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward and entered the beetle.
"This place … is so special."
After entering, the Scholar saw that the internal structure was not the same as the internal organs. The internal structure was as hard as a shell, and it did not feel like a living thing at all.
'Boom!' Suddenly, the Scholar felt her surroundings begin to shake. The smaller battleship seemed to be flying. The Scholar quickly leaned against the wall next to her. As the ship shook, she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the ground. The Scholar was looking forward to seeing what would happen next …
"…"
The voyage had been going on for thousands of seconds, and the Scholar was still in the relatively bright interior of the beetle.
"You are in a daze. You are bored." The Cryopteris on top of the Scholar's head said, "You should do something interesting, like rolling on the ground."
"That's what I call boring." The Scholar could not help but complain about the Cryopteris. She stood up and said, "I can't see the outside world from here. I don't know where we are …"
"There is no redemption for your ignorant head."
Suddenly, the Cryopteris jumped down from the Scholar's head. It climbed along the wall and into another cabin inside the beetle.
"Hey! Where are you going? " The Cryopteris was too fast for the Scholar to stop, but she soon heard a voice coming from the cabin next door.
"It said that it is too boring to stay here. Let it go down."
"What? I am not that … "Before the Scholar could finish, the beetle began to shake. The Scholar quickly grabbed the wall next to her. The shaking lasted for more than ten seconds, and the wall suddenly opened with a click. The Scholar could not stabilize herself and rolled out.
After rolling out, she found herself on a beach. The beetle behind her did not even have time to scream before it flew into the sky and disappeared.
"Ah …"
The Scholar looked at the sky for a moment, stunned. She seemed to have realized what had happened. Although she wanted to say something, she felt a sense of powerlessness.
The Scholar noticed that she was on a small island. It was a completely deserted island. There was nothing around her except rocks and sand.
The Inca beetles did not fly into the void. They were always on the pompom. So where was this place?
"Now it is not boring." It was unknown when the Skyroar Worm had come out with the Scholar. It crawled back onto the Scholar's head and said, "Then, let us march towards the sunset, Tarantula!" It was as if the Skyroar Worm was floating in the air.
