"Seriously, you're so uncooperative. You have to pretend to be dying and crawl out of the wreckage. Then I have to pretend to be surprised that you're not dead. That's what a movie should look like!"
"We're not shooting a movie …"
"But this is a movie set!"
"… Let's not talk about this for now. It seems to have been destroyed …"
The Scholar and Cryopteris were walking around in a huge prison filled with smoke and dust.
The statue that had hidden the Spirit Spawn had been smashed to pieces by the Skyhowler Beetle's fighter jet. The place was filled with debris from the explosion.
However, the explosion was not that powerful. Or rather, the statue was actually very fragile. In short, it did not affect the Scholar.
As for the Skyhowler Beetle, it had only found a pile of metal fragments that looked like they belonged to a Voidfolk … and cried bitterly.
"This statue is actually a machine …" The Scholar looked at the wreckage around her. From the broken parts of the statue's limbs, she could see that there was a complicated mechanical structure inside.
Every time she saw a piece of wreckage, the Scholar walked up to it to check if the Phantom Whelp was hiding inside, but …
"Why does it seem to have disappeared?" The Scholar said to Cryopteris. "Before you blew it up, I could detect that the Phantom Whelp was inside the statue. After the explosion, it suddenly disappeared. I couldn't detect it at all."
Cryopteris said angrily, "What? Are you blaming me for blowing it up? "
"It could be blown up," said the Scholar. "Or it could have escaped again. Either way, it's troublesome."
"If that's the case, we can only find … find it!" Cryopteris suddenly ran to a place and said, "Come with me!"
"What?" The Scholar immediately followed. Soon, they ran out of the smoke-filled environment after the explosion. The Scholar noticed that the solidified Voidmatter that was scattered everywhere seemed to have disappeared.
The same went for the matter on the Phantom Whelp. In fact, this was what happened after Cryopteris' fighter crashed into it. At the moment of the explosion, all the matter disappeared.
Otherwise, the Scholar would still be stuck and unable to move.
"There! There they are! " Following the Cryopteris' footsteps, the Scholar saw a large group of black-robed Voidfolk appear in front of them. This group of Voidfolk was originally fleeing in fear, but somehow they had quieted down.
They were now all in a circle, and in that circle, there was a … very big thing that looked like a book.
However, this book was three meters tall and six meters wide. It stood in the middle of the crowd and emitted a strange light. Could this book be the reason why the Voidfolk had calmed down?
"What do you want? Who are you? " Hearing the voice behind them, some of the black-robed Voidfolk turned around and asked the scholar, "Why are you here? How dare you interrupt this grand ceremony? "
"Ritual?" The Scholar poked at the detection system and found that the spirit spawn's reaction was among the group of Voidfolk, which meant that it was under the book.
Only then did the Scholar realize that among the group of black-robed Voidfolk, there was … a Voidfolk wearing white clothes.
Its entire body was emitting a faint glow, and it looked very conspicuous. It was a young spirit. Perhaps it had used some method to turn itself into a white-clothed Voidfolk during the explosion just now, and then blended into this group of Voidfolk.
"You stay here and talk to them for a while." Cryopteris' voice transmitted into the Scholar's mind, "I will go in and take care of it."
"What kind of ritual are you doing?" Although the Scholar wanted to rush in and grab the spirit spawn, since Cryopteris said so … then it was better to ask first.
"This is the ritual of our great leader!" The Voidfolk blocking the Scholar said, "You saw the 'descent' just now right? This means that God is approaching us. Now that the descent process is over, our leader will step into the divine book … let the real God possess it, let the real God descend and punish this prison world!"
The Voidfolk became more and more excited as he spoke, as if that was really the case.
"I caught it!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the group of Voidfolk. The Scholar looked in that direction and saw Cryopteris lying on the head of the white-robed Voidfolk.
The white-robed Voidfolk kept shaking his head and shouting for help. The surrounding Voidfolk immediately went forward to grab Cryopteris.
Cryopteris held on tightly and kept roaring loudly. The surrounding Voidfolk covered their heads and fell to the ground one by one … but the white-robed Voidfolk was completely fine.
It looked around and when it realized that it was almost impossible for any Voidfolk to help it, its body exploded with a bang.
The moment it exploded, it turned into countless … spirits and flew into the sky.
"Now! Catch it! Catch them all! "
At the sound of the Explosive Howl Beetle's roar, the Scholar immediately flew up to the specters. As soon as she got close to them, she used a vacuum cleaner to suck them in.
This time, the Scholar directly used a bag with a large capacity. It sucked in the spirits in the sky one by one. Because these spirits did not fly very fast, there were soon only two left.
To avoid the same fate, these two separated and flew in different directions. The Scholar saw this and immediately chased after one. When it caught this one, the other one had already flown out of its detection range.
"Very good, this is enough!" Cryopteris shouted from below. "You can slowly roll down and study these things!"
"That's good." The Scholar flew down with a bulging … bag full of 'spirits' and landed on the ground under the shocked gaze of the black-robed Voidfolk.
Then Cryopteris ran over and jumped on its body. "The mission is completed perfectly. Now we can leave this place!"
"Uh …" The Scholar looked around and said, "How do we leave?"
"That seems to be a problem," Cryopteris said. "Do you know the exit?"
"There is no exit here," the Scholar said. "In the movie, the whole world is covered by a giant prison."
"In other words, we just need to fly up," Cryopteris said. "Then we'll go to the upper level and fly up."
"Wait …" The Scholar said. "Just leaving this prison scenario is not going to help. We are still in the hidden location … We have to find a way to leave this hidden location first …"
"You don't get it," Cryopteris said. "If we return to Lin's original city, Lin can bring us out."
"Is that so? That's good … "The Scholar said." But why do we need to return to the city? "
"That's because, according to legend, this place is pulled closer to the frozen void," Cryopteris said. "Therefore, we have to leave from there."
"What … does that mean?"
