Midgard's … Whelps.
Although she did not know much about them, she knew a lot about them.
In the Dust World, the Luminous Firefly had destroyed everything belonging to the Transpirators. However, it was not all done by the Luminous Firefly. Lin was also involved in the battle.
Combined with her research on the hidden location, Lin knew a lot about them.
It seemed that the Transpirators had been looking for Midgard's whelps in the Dust World. It was not that they did not find them, but they had found them a long time ago.
After analyzing the fragments left behind by the Transpirator in the Dust World, Lin discovered something about the Fledglings.
Since a long time ago, the Transpirators had used Po Yan's recorder to find the whelps. They did find them, but they did not catch them.
In the last record, it only said that the whelps escaped from the Dust World, but it did not say where they went.
As for why Lin thought that the 'specter' the Scholar found was a whelp, it was mainly because she saw some descriptions of the whelps in the records.
Generally speaking, Midgard's whelps only existed in the frozen void. However, under certain circumstances, they would come to this … void.
Midgard's larvae were not 'physical' creatures at first. They were like dream creatures, transparent objects that resembled energy and air, and their composition was similar to the 'specters' that the scholars discovered.
It was confirmed that the whelps ended up in this hidden location. However, there was a problem. Did the Transpirators put the whelps here, or did the whelps run here on their own?
Lin believed that the whelps did it on their own. The Transpirators might not know that the whelps were here.
In any case, Lin believed that they should capture the whelps and at least do some research. She hoped that they could do it.
…
"It's getting faster and faster."
This was a forest, a forest made up of black plants.
The Scholar's fighter jet was flying over the jungle at high speed, chasing after the target that was also fleeing at high speed.
The target was more than ten meters in diameter and looked like a large transparent sphere. The Scholar had always called it a 'specter'.
Recently, she received news that the specter might be … a Midgard's whelp. What the Scholar needed to do was to capture it.
At the very least, he would be able to capture a portion of them for detailed research.
Although it looked like a ghost, it could indeed be caught because it couldn't penetrate anything. As long as one used a tool similar to … a vacuum cleaner, it could be sucked up.
The Scholar had such a tool with her, but the problem was … she had to catch up with the Ghost Whelps first.
The spirit youngling had built an... old-fashioned metal-styled city. It was said that it had the ability to create all sorts of environments at will. The main reason for that was because it could 'tamper' with its creator's simulation device.
Using the simulation device and some of the things in this hidden location, it could create all kinds of urban environments at will, although he did not know why it did so.
Cryopteris said that this might be a way for it to disguise itself, although the Scholar felt that it would be too obvious if it kept changing.
No matter what, he had to catch it first.
Previously, the Scholar Walker had wanted to approach the old metal-styled island where the Spirit Cub was hiding to capture it. However, the Spirit Cub seemed to have realized something and fled.
The Scholar had no choice but to chase after it.
It had been easy for the Scholar Walker to catch up with it, but now, it seemed that the Spirit Cub's speed had increased tremendously.
It was difficult for the fighter to catch up with the target.
Now, it was about two kilometers away from the target. The Scholar Walker had adjusted the fighter to the fastest speed, but the target was still... flickering in the distance.
The Spirit Cub did not fly forward at high speed. It would occasionally slow down, but when the Scholar Walker closed the distance, its body would flicker and appear far away.
It felt like it was teleporting. According to Cryopteris, there must be a teleportation system used to set up buildings here. The Spirit Cub might be using these systems.
However, it only teleported a little bit each time, not too far away. Was it playing with them? Or was it impossible?
In this regard, the Scholar Walker had some guesses. Perhaps the Spirit Cub could not use the teleportation system too much. Otherwise, it would be discovered by the Evaporator.
Although it could be used to teleport Voidfolk and the like, teleporting itself would be a problem.
Regardless, it would be difficult for the Spirit Cub to catch up with it, so...
"This is the only way!" Looking at the Spirit Cub in the distance, the Scholar Walker tapped on a red dot on the operation screen. The fighter suddenly rushed forward at an explosive speed.
"Beep! Engine overload! Engine overload! "
The sound echoed on the operation screen, but the Scholar Walker completely ignored it. It controlled the fighter to get closer and closer to the target at an extremely high speed...
"Very good, that's it!" Cryopteris shouted. "Run like a madman! Smash it into pieces! "
"Boom!" The fighter flew past the location of the Spirit Cub. At this moment, the large transparent and faintly glowing thing dispersed.
It was as if it was smashed into pieces.
The Scholar Walker immediately turned on the ejection system and ejected itself from the cockpit. Then, it activated the thrusters on its body and flew towards the location where the Spirit Cub was smashed into pieces.
The moment it detected any 'Spirit Cub' in the air, the Scholar Walker immediately picked up a... vacuum cleaner and sucked it in.
This was originally a tool used to absorb air samples. It was shaped like a snail shell, with an adjustable suction port and a sample bottle connected to the back. After filling one bottle, it could be replaced with another.
This thing was rarely used, but now it could be put to good use.
The Scholar Walker put the absorbed 'Spirit Cub' into the sample bottle. When it found that it was full, it quickly replaced it with another bottle. However, the Scholar Walker found that there were no more Spirit Cub around.
There were no more ghosts in the surroundings. He had just filled up a bottle.
The bottle was only ten centimeters in size. The Scholar Walker felt that the amount was too little...
"They're there!" Suddenly, the Scholar Walker heard Cryopteris shouting. It turned its head and saw a large amount of light gathering beside it. It gathered into a huge vortex, just like before.
This seemed to be a good opportunity...
With that in mind, the Scholar Walker immediately lifted the vacuum cleaner and flew towards the vortex.
"Idiot, don't go there!"
