"This sound..."
In the dark forest, the Scholar was moving slowly.
It could hear a sound coming from the darkness. It sounded like the sound of a musical instrument called a "flute."
The sound... sounded strange. It did not sound like singing at all. However, the Scholar was curious about it, so it moved toward the source of the sound.
Soon, in the black algae forest, the Scholar saw the source of the sound...
"That's it. There must be something strange about it!" Cryopteris whispered on the Scholar's shoulder.
"What is this?" The Scholar looked at the object … It was a sharp stone with many holes on it that was erected in the forest.
It was more than a meter tall, and it kept making flute-like sounds. It did not look like anything special from afar, so the Scholar slowly approached it.
"This is..." After getting closer, the Scholar realized that the sound had stopped. However, nothing else happened, so the Scholar carefully observed the small holes in the stone.
After zooming in, the scholar noticed that there were a lot of tiny creatures around the small hole. They looked like beetles, and their colors and sizes were all different. It seemed that there were many different species mixed in with them.
"These are those things!" Cryopteris seemed to be using microscopic mode to observe the insects on the stone. After a while, it shouted, "We have made a great discovery!"
"What discovery?" The Scholar asked. "You know about these insects?"
"Of course." "They are a very primitive creature, very primitive to the point of being primitive, they are …" Roaring Beetle said.
Boom! Before Cryopteris could finish, the ground suddenly shook. The Scholar looked up and realized that the cause of the tremors came from the forest in the distance.
There was a very large creature there. It was squeezing through the black algae and making its way toward them. Every step it took made the ground tremble slightly, but it was not as strong as the initial tremors.
The Scholar speculated that the creature first fell heavily into the forest from a high place and then ran toward them. It looked like the creature that had knocked down the aircraft.
Now, the Scholar could see more clearly. This was a creature that looked like... a horned dragon, but it was much bigger than a normal horned dragon. It might be close to thirty meters long, which was why it was able to knock down the aircraft.
The Scholar did not have time to think about why there was a horned dragon here because it would hit this place in about ten seconds. The Scholar thought it would be better to hide first.
"Take this stone with you! These insects are a great discovery! " When the Scholar was about to run, Cryopteris suddenly shouted. The Scholar reached out to pull the stone from the ground. Then, it started the propeller and flew into the sky.
After flying to a high altitude, he looked down and saw the horned dragon rampaging through the black algae and fungi forest, leaving only black debris on the ground.
This creature … seemed to have gone mad. It only knew how to charge forward, and the scholar discovered that it was heading in the direction of the Void City.
He wondered if it would crash into Xu Min City. However, compared to the horned dragon, the Scholar was more concerned about the sharp stone in its hand. With that in mind, he asked the Roaring Beetle, "What are the beetles on the stone?"
"What? You don't know? "Cryopteris said." I raised you for nothing. "
"... Stop joking now," the Scholar said.
Cryopteris said, "Okay, then I'll tell you. They are Chibucha bugs."
"Chibucha bugs?" the Scholar said in surprise. "Why are they so small?"
"Maybe they were shrunk by the fungi," Cryopteris said. "Look closely. They look the same as Chibucha bugs."
The Scholar zoomed in on the stone and found that these tiny bugs... were indeed the same as Chibucha bugs. They only had four limbs.
However, they were much smaller than the ones they had seen before. They were like microorganisms.
Cryopteris said, "Maybe we can communicate with them. Then we'll know why they are so small."
"How do we communicate?" the Scholar asked Cryopteris as she watched the horned dragon run away. She landed on the ground.
"Communicate with brainwaves." Cryopteris said. "But there's something wrong with my internal system. I can't release normal brainwaves. My condition was a little strange before because of this. You'll have to help me fix it."
"You really do have a problem..." the Scholar said. "But I don't know how to fix it..."
Although the Scholar had thought about fixing Cryopteris before, she didn't know how to do it. At most, she could only open it to check if there were any parts that were broken.
"I can teach you how to do it. Hurry up and open my head!" Cryopteris said. "If you don't do it, they'll all run away!"
"Run away?" The Scholar looked at the tiny Chibucha bugs again. They were really... taking off one by one from the hole. The Scholar wondered why they didn't all take off. Instead, they lined up and took off one after another. However, if this continued, it was possible that they would all run away.
"There won't be any problems, right?" Therefore, although she was confused, the Scholar followed Cryopteris's instructions and opened its... head.
"Yes, that's it. Take that thing down and put this thing there! No, not this! "
Looking at the large pile of mechanical parts inside, the Scholar kept piecing them together under the guidance of Cryopteris. Soon, these parts were assembled by the Scholar into... a pile of parts.
"Is this really working?" Although the Scholar had studied her own mechanical body and had a general understanding of her own structure, she couldn't understand Cryopteris at all. It was as if they weren't made using the same method.
"Almost there. Put that thing there. Don't touch it! Yes, it's assembled! "
It seemed to be done. Although the Scholar couldn't figure out what the problem was, it just removed some parts and replaced them.
However, after the Scholar put Cryopteris' shell back together, she detected a strong brainwave in an instant.
However, this brainwave didn't come entirely from Cryopteris. To be precise, a brainwave from a distance was transmitted to Cryopteris, and then Cryopteris released it.
