"Phew — —"
In the cinema of the Voidfolk, in the movie hall where 'White Hell' was playing, there were only a few Voidfolk lying on their seats, snoring away.
Although there was occasionally interesting content in the movie, most of it was flying over the sea, which must have led to this scene.
However, the two creatures operating the aircraft that transmitted the images never thought of sleeping.
They had been paying attention to this matter.
Under their operation, the aircraft flew across the vast ocean, past one island after another, looking for traces of the strange starfish creature.
Although Maya said to fly directly to the starfish creature's final destination, they still 'conveniently' passed by a lot of places on the way.
Because they had to investigate the local ecological environment, as they found before, most of the islands on the ocean were completely covered by fungi.
And in the areas covered by these fungi, there were almost all kinds of creatures living there. The imam thought that this was the manifestation of the fungi learning from the creator and beginning to create an environment.
But what the truth is, except for the fungi itself, no creature knows...
And on all the islands they passed by, they found tentacles. The starfish left one of its tentacles on each island. This starfish had a total of ten tentacles, that is to say, it left one on all ten islands.
Except for the first island, the other islands were all fungi islands, and these tentacles fell in the jungles made of fungi. And the fungi did not do anything special to the tentacles.
Perhaps because these tentacles were not made of cells, and they were quite strong. It was almost impossible to break its shell with ordinary metal tools.
After flying over all the islands, the imam and Maya found something.
"It's not flying around randomly, but following this route..."
The aircraft was checking the recorded map. The islands on the map were now connected with each other by lines. These islands were islands with tentacles, and these ten islands just happened to form a circle.
"It's likely to come here."
Therefore. The aircraft came to the circle. There was also an island in the circle, and it was the closest to the last island the starfish visited.
But now the starfish did not seem to be here, at least the aircraft had not seen it yet. It decided to explore this island first.
This island was also occupied by fungi, but it was different from the others. This was because the fungi here weren't in the form of plants.
The island was almost entirely made of rocks. Perhaps the solid rocks did not contain any nutrients, so there were no plant-like fungi growing on them. However, this island was filled with a certain kind of creature.
The imam called them 'Sprayed Mushroom Gull' because they looked like the creatures called birds on pom-poms. They were white and had a wingspan of one meter.
Like birds, they gathered at the edge of the island when the aircraft approached. These 'fungus scattering gulls' also flew up in flocks. As they flew, fungus dust scattered down along with their flapping wings.
It was still a mystery whether these things were part of the fungal environment. The dean believed that the crystallized creatures were wild species that lived normally in the fungal environment.
As for those 'birds', they might be like the Plague Dragon and the infected Voidfolk, being used as weapons of the fungus.
The locations of most of these weapons were unknown because they had not been seen during the exploration. This group of strange creatures was … the first batch.
They did not attack the aircraft and would even hide in the surroundings. They behaved like wild creatures, but the imam still thought that they were weapons … mainly because they were covered in dense fungus dust.
However, this was not very important now. The aircraft flew quickly on the island and soon explored the environment of this island.
Other than the 'Sprayed Mushroom Gull', there were only rocks and the fungus dust they scattered on the island. The starfish did not seem to be here.
And if the starfish was here, it would have been here a long time ago because the aircraft had always been following behind it. It would not suddenly fly in front of the starfish.
Therefore, the imam and Maya both decided to let the aircraft fly to other places to look for it.
But just as the aircraft flew to the edge of the island, they suddenly saw something.
'Boom!'
This thing made a loud roar. Not only did it stop the aircraft, it also woke up the Voidfolk who were sleeping in the cinema.
They saw a huge object approaching quickly from the distant sea. This object was more than ten meters in diameter and looked like … a starfish with all of its tentacles cut off.
"That's it! It's rolling … Do you see it? It's rolling! "
Yes, this starfish was like a wheel. It was constantly spinning as it moved forward.
"It's just spinning." "Spinning is rolling. The two are one. It hasn't changed for countless years. You have no right to separate the two."
The aircraft watched the rolling starfish fly to the center of the island. A large number of Sprayed Mushroom Gull seemed to be greatly frightened. They fluttered and flew around the island, but they seemed to be unwilling to leave the island. They only flew to the edge of the island and fell back to the ground.
The starfish that had its tentacle broken stopped in the center of the empty island. It stopped spinning and slowly landed on the ground. Then … it lay on the ground.
The aircraft had been watching from the side and did not act rashly. However, the starfish did not act rashly either … To be precise, it did not move at all.
This lasted for about six thousand seconds. Looking at the starfish that had not moved, the imam made a suggestion. "We should do some research on it."
"It might even roll on its own." Maya said, "Continue to do more observation. At the same time, transfer the distant troops here."
Indeed, because there were not many tools on the aircraft, there was not much point in continuing the research now. There might even be some … unexpected results, such as waking it up and causing it to run away.
Therefore, waiting was a better choice. When other aircraft with more tools arrived, then … they could try to capture it.
"What are they doing?"
Suddenly, the imam and Maya saw that the Sprayed Mushroom Gull at the edge of the island suddenly flew up. They all rushed toward the starfish.
From the looks of it, they seemed to want to … attack. (To be continued.)
