"They said that they live a normal life here."
"… Is that so? But what's with that brainwave? "
The Scholar was moving quickly in the dark forest. Cryopteris was talking to it about the Chibucha worms.
The Chibucha worms did communicate with the Cryopteris after it released its brainwave. However, the worms did not know anything about fungi. They seemed to be living a normal life here … Normal creatures.
Their way of life was to collect fine dust as food and build underground nests and prominent stone fortresses. Their intelligence was not very high, at least not as high as the big Chibucha worms.
It seemed meaningless to investigate them, so the Scholar decided to take a look … at the place where the brainwave came from.
Previously, the Scholar detected that the Cryopteris' brainwave was not its own. It was guiding the brainwave from another place.
"Is that so?" Cryopteris seemed to be completely unaware. "I am using my own brainwave! My brainwave! There is no doubt about it! "
"…" The Scholar did not answer. It looked at the light emitted by the city in the distance. Now that they were getting closer to the city, Cryopteris might return to its abnormal state.
But no matter what, the Scholar had to confirm the location of the brainwave. So, it walked faster and faster.
Cryopteris did not say anything. As time passed, the Scholar finally returned to the city.
When it entered the city, the Scholar found that the streets at the edge of the city were full of overturned vehicles. A large number of armed civilians stood on the streets, looking in the direction of the forest.
This should be the result of the horned dragon just now. The horned dragon ran into the city, and no one knew where it went. Only the afterimages of the streets were left.
However, when the Scholar walked through the forest, it did not see the horned dragon's black algae reach the city. Maybe the horned dragon flew along the way. It … should be able to fly.
"We are back here … I can feel the fried egg calling me!" When the Scholar stepped into the city, Cryopteris seemed to become … a little abnormal.
However, the Scholar ignored it and walked directly into the street. A few armed Hollow Civilians saw it and immediately shouted, "You! Wait a minute, who are you? "
The Scholar ignored them. Instead, she activated her stealth mode and instantly disappeared before the eyes of these people.
The citizens were stunned. Not only did they see the Scholar disappear, but they also saw … the Cryopteris. Since the Cryopteris wasn't invisible, it looked like it was standing on thin air and flew away.
While the citizens were still in a daze, the Scholar quickly found the source of the brainwaves. It was … there.
The Scholar saw a building. It looked like an ordinary … shopping mall. There didn't seem to be anything special about it, but the Scholar could detect brain waves coming from underneath the building.
After entering the shopping mall, the scholar discovered that it was quite lively inside. Many Voidfolk were walking around the merchandise. Although the location of the Horned Dragon Incident was not far from here, this place still seemed normal. The Voidfolk here were buying things as usual.
"There … there are fried eggs here!"
Cryopteris suddenly screamed, jumped down from the Scholar's shoulder, and ran away.
"Wait a minute … Forget it." The Scholar wanted to look for it, but after thinking about it, the Scholar decided to look for the source of the brainwaves.
Because, the Scholar had a feeling that this brainwave seemed to have … some effect on Cryopteris.
It couldn't be said that it controlled Cryopteris, but there were some negative effects. As for why it was fine, the Scholar didn't know … But the Scholar wanted to use this opportunity to investigate.
Therefore, the Scholar quickly walked to a door with a sign that said, "Non-employees Are Not Allowed". This was usually a place like a warehouse. After the Scholar walked in, she quickly found a passage that led to the basement.
After entering the basement, the Scholar found this place … strange.
It was a very large space. The ground was covered with countless metal pipes, and these metal pipes were all gathered in one place.
It was … something like a tree stump. It was almost ten meters wide and only three meters tall. A large number of metal pipes were connected under the tree stump. It looked very … out of place.
It seemed that metal and wood had always been very incompatible things, but they were connected together. This made the Scholar quite … curious. Walking to the side of the tree stump, the Scholar reached out her hand and gently touched it.
The moment she touched the tree stump, she felt a sudden … information suddenly enter her mind.
From this information, the Scholar found countless … metal pipes. It turned out that they were not only laid in this basement, but they also extended underground, spreading out like tree roots. They spread all over the city and even extended into the black algae forest outside.
"It covers such a large area … What is this thing?" The Scholar slowly retracted her hand and took out some … tools from her waist, preparing to examine it more carefully.
"Don't touch it!" Suddenly, the Scholar heard a loud shout. She turned her head and saw a large group of Voidfolk running in from the entrance of the passage she came down from.
These Voidfolk were the people who bought things from the mall above. They were still carrying the goods they bought …
But their eyes were staring straight at the Scholar.
So, the abnormal development of these Voidfolk was because they were affected by this thing? Looking at them, the Scholar confirmed the answer she had thought of before.
But what was this tree stump and metal pipe? It did not seem to have anything to do with fungi, but more like …
"Kill it!" A loud shout came from among the Voidfolk. These Voidfolk shouted and waved the goods in their hands at the Scholar.
The Scholar thought that if they wanted to protect this tree stump, it was too … ridiculous.
But this also gave the Scholar another idea. Maybe this tree stump was not the key item. It should be some kind of transmitter, so it did not need any powerful troops to guard it. But when they saw it invading this place, the surrounding Voidfolk would still attack it.
Because these Voidfolk were normal … flesh and blood, the Scholar easily knocked them all out.
And when the Scholar wanted to continue her research, she heard that voice again.
"You dare to be so arrogant, then I will have to personally destroy you with my mouth!"
"…" Only then did the Scholar notice that it was not the Voidfolk who were shouting from the beginning, but … Cryopteris.
