It was already late at night when Combat Robot No. 223 returned to Fern's tent. Fern was still busy doing something in the tent. When he saw Combat Robot No. 223, he said, "Show me the records." The round thing in the middle of Combat Robot No. 223's body was like a projector and began to show the records taken previously.
When Fern saw the ancient temple, he didn't show anything. Combat Robot No. 223 continued to show the picture. When it came to the picture of the footprints, Fern felt a creepy feeling. Fern saw that the footprints taken by Combat Robot No. 223 were walking towards the temple, so he wanted to find out what was going on.
When Fern came out of the tent and saw the sky full of stars, he was stunned. Then he realized that it was already late at night. The sky was like the aurora, flashing beautiful colorful lights. Barbara was still lying on the beach. Fern walked over and said, "Why don't you go back to the tent?" Barbara opened her eyes, looked at Fern and said, "This is the beach. Compared to the tent, I feel more comfortable here."
Fern understood and stopped persuading Barbara to go back to the tent. The purple-gold-eyed monster flew to Fern's shoulder and found a comfortable position to lie down. Fern smiled and said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself." The purple-gold-eyed monster glanced at Fern and said nothing, then closed his eyes and went to rest. The purple-gold-eyed monster's actions amused both Barbara and Fern.
Fern sat next to Barbara, looking at the starry sky and thinking about the beautiful woman lying on the ice bed in the academy. Fern did not hide the deep longing on his face. Barbara looked at Fern straight, and Barbara felt as if her heart was pulled by something and it hurt.
Barbara covered her chest and went back to the tent. Fern sat on the beach for a while and went back to his tent. The sea breeze was blowing seductively, and Fern and the others fell asleep in this quiet and beautiful environment.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Fern woke up and heard a commotion outside. Fern opened the tent and saw that it was Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon teasing a small crab. Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon chattered non-stop, which made Fern very upset. Fern wanted to ask Barbara if she could understand the purple-gold-eyed demon's words. Fern did not disturb Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon, but went to the beach, picked up some small crabs, and then made a small pot with spare parts to cook the crabs. After the crabs were cooked, he shouted to Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon: "Don't play here, come back and eat." The tone was the same as a mother calling her children home for dinner.
After hearing Fern's shout, Barbara and the Purple-Gold-Eyed Demon stopped playing and sat on both sides of Fern to eat the crabs that Fern had just cooked. While eating, Fern said, "There is a building that looks like an ancient temple in the forest. Let's go and have a look. The footprints we saw in the Dark Forest yesterday are also there. So be careful when you enter the forest."
Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon ate while agreeing to Fern. After Fern finished eating, he put the pot back into his tent, packed a small backpack, and carried it out of the tent. Fern saw Barbara packing up, so he said, "No need to pack up, we will come back to spend the night."
Barbara stopped packing and walked into the forest with Fern. As soon as they entered the forest, Fern, Barbara, the purple-gold-eyed demon and combat robot No. 223 all went into alert mode and walked carefully towards the temple. The road from the forest to the temple was surprisingly peaceful and they encountered nothing.
The calmness along the way made Fern more alert. When they arrived at the door of the temple, Fern, Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed monster did not dare to act rashly. Fern looked inside the temple. Suddenly, the footprints came out of the temple and headed straight for Fern. Fern was startled and subconsciously stepped back. The purple-gold-eyed monster stood in front of Fern and roared at the footprints, "Oh~".
The footprint seemed to be stunned for a moment, paused, and then walked towards Fern again. Fern took out the Fire Dragon Spear, pointed it at the footprint, pulled the trigger according to the method of the Fire Dragon Cult, and the bullet hit the air above the footprint. Then, green blood was seen flowing down.
"Ah~" a roar came from the location of the footprints, Fern was overjoyed, the blood flowing out meant that he could hit the target, Fern nodded at the purple-gold eyed monster, the purple-gold eyed monster understood, and immediately enlarged its body and attacked the location of the footprints. The attack of the purple-gold eyed monster did not have the effect he imagined.
On the contrary, the purple-gold-eyed monster was blocked by the footprints and was shocked to retreat several steps. After being overjoyed, Fern saw the purple-gold-eyed monster being repelled, so he shouted to combat robot No. 223: "Start automatic attack mode." After receiving the order, combat robot No. 223 used magic to attack the footprints.
When Fern saw the footprints retreating repeatedly, he knew that the attack of combat robot No. 223 had worked. Fern also took the Fire Dragon Spear and pulled the trigger again and again, shooting at the footprints. Many bullets were dodged by the footprints, but some were not. The footprints roared "Ahh~ Ahh~", and green blood was flowing in the places where Fern hit them.
Barbara chanted a magic spell, and slowly a vortex of water began to appear around the footprints, which perfectly outlined the shape of the footprints. It looked like a human figure, but not quite. Fern shouted to Combat Robot No. 223, "Is there any way to identify it?"
Battle robot No. 223 replied, "Sorry, we can't recognize it." Fern was helpless. Barbara said, "Do you want to negotiate with it?" Fern nodded and said, "That's the only way." Fern said to the footprints surrounded by water, "Can you show your true form? Let's solve this peacefully."
The footprints were heard saying, "Ouch~Ouch~", as if they were a little angry. Fern gave an order to the battle robot No. 223, saying, "Translate." The battle robot No. 223 translated, "You evil people broke into my territory and hurt me."
Fern heard what the footprints said, so he replied: "Sorry, we didn't mean it, we just thought you were going to attack us." The footprints didn't seem to appreciate it, and said: "Ouch~" Combat Robot No. 223 translated: "You have already injured me, and you still dare to say that!"
Vern apologized again sincerely: "I'm sorry, we really didn't mean it. We attacked because we couldn't see you." Barbara also echoed beside him: "We really didn't mean it." Footprints said: "Ouch~." Combat Robot No. 223 translated: "Get out of my territory immediately."
Fern said, "We are just here to find something. We won't hurt you." The footprints in the water said, "Ouch~" Combat robot No. 223 translated, "It won't hurt me, why don't you take this thing off quickly." Fern heard it and quickly asked Barbara to break the magic.
After the footprints came out, they snorted and said, "Ouch~" Combat Robot No. 223 translated, "You damn intruders, leave my territory immediately." Barbara was not convinced and said, "Hey, we said we were just looking for something and didn't mean to hurt you. This is all a misunderstanding. Why can't you understand?"
Barbara looked at the location of the footprints angrily. The footprints accidentally lifted the magic on their bodies in anger, exposing their true identities. Barbara laughed when she saw the true identity of the footprints. The footprints became even angrier and roared to attack Barbara.
Fern quickly stopped Footprint and said, "She is not laughing at you, calm down." Footprint resisted the urge to attack Barbara, and Barbara also resisted her laughter. It was not that Barbara wanted to laugh, but she really couldn't help it. Footprint had a cute face like a raccoon, but a strong body like a bear. It was too funny.
Fern said to Footprint expressionlessly: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Fern. I'm here to find the source of life. I really have no intention of hurting you. May I ask who you are?" Footprint had an unhappy and arrogant expression on his face, and he was almost rolling his eyes. Fern held his forehead, not knowing what expression to make.
At this time, the footprint spoke, and said: "Oh~", and the combat robot No. 223 translated: "I am the manager of this area, and they call me Guaiguai." This name is still very suitable for Guaiguai. Fern asked again: "Is there a power called life force in this area?"
"Ooooh~?" Guaiguai looked at Fern in confusion. Combat robot No. 223 translated: "Life force? What is that?" Fern didn't know how to explain it, so he said: "Is there any special power in this area?" Guaiguai thought for a while and pointed to the temple and said: "Ooooh~Ooooh~".
Battle robot No. 223 translated: "That temple is very special. It's very comfortable to stay in it." Hearing what Guaiguai said, Fern began to look at the temple. Guaiguai saw Fern's eager eyes and quickly stood in front of Fern to block him and said: "Oh~!"
Battle robot No. 223 translated: "This temple is mine, you can't take it away!" Guaiguai thought that Fern wanted to take the temple away. Fern looked at Guaiguai and knew whether to laugh or pretend to be serious. Fern couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't want to steal your temple, I'm just looking for something. Once we find it, we will leave immediately."
After hearing what Fern said, Guaiguai stepped aside and let Fern continue to look around. Fern asked Guaiguai, "Can we go in and take a look?" Guaiguai thought for a while and said, "Oh~ Oh~." Combat Robot No. 223 translated, "Of course you can, but you have to come out after you finish looking."
Fern said, "If we don't find what we're looking for after we finish looking around, we'll leave immediately." After hearing what Fern said, Guaiguai let Fern and the others enter the temple. Guaiguai led Fern and the others into the temple. When they arrived at the temple entrance, they found that the temple was not as small as it looked from a distance, but was actually very large.
