In the temple, there is a statue of a three-legged bear, and on the wall are painted many stories about this three-legged bear. Fern asked Guaiguai, "Who is this statue?" Guaiguai bowed to the statue devoutly and said, "This is our great hero." When Fern heard this, he knew that it was another story of a heroic rescuer who was being worshipped.
So Fern began to look at the murals, which told the life story of the bear. The bear had three legs when it was born and was called a monster at first. Later, when enemies invaded, the three-legged bear fought to the death, protected this peaceful land, and was worshipped.
The strangest thing here is that the three-legged bear came back to life. There was only a ball of fog painted on the mural, and it didn't say what it was. The resurrection of the dead aroused Fern's interest. Fern pointed at the ball of fog on the mural and asked Guaiguai, "What is this?" Guaiguai glanced at the place where Fern pointed.
He shook his head and said, "Oh~." Combat robot No. 223 translated, "I'm not too sure either." Fern sneered, "I don't know. You were worshipping so enthusiastically just now." Although he sneered, Fern would never say that in front of Guaiguai. He might not know when he would be kicked out.
Fern continued to look at the mural. The further he went inside and the closer he got to the statue, Fern found that his strength seemed to be slowly recovering and he no longer felt as tired as before. Not only Fern, but Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon also had this feeling. Fern was very excited when he felt this power.
Fern's excitement was gradually worn away as he couldn't find the source of power. Fern searched the entire ancient temple in circles, but except for that one time when he was close to the statue, Fern and the others never felt it again. Fern was very sure that the feeling just now was definitely not an illusion.
But they just couldn't find where the power came from. Fern was anxiously circling the statue. Fern and the others stayed in the temple for a long time. Finally, they were kicked out of the temple in a strange impatience. Fern was kicked out in a daze. Barbara looked at Fern in a daze and said, "Fern, let's go back to the beach first and come back tomorrow. It's a little late today."
When Fern came to his senses, he found that the sun was about to set. Fern nodded to Barbara and said, "Okay, we'll go back today and come back tomorrow. I'll go back and figure out what went wrong." So Fern took Barbara, the purple-gold-eyed demon, and combat robot No. 223 back to the beach.
When Fern and the others returned to the beach, the sunset was already fading. Barbara touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry." The purple-gold-eyed monster next to her also echoed, "Oh~". This time there was no need for translation, Barbara knew that the purple-gold-eyed monster meant that he was hungry too.
Fern originally wanted to go back to the tent to sort out his thoughts, but when he heard what Barbara and the Purple-Gold-Eyed Demon said, he went to the river to find some crabs and caught a few fish in the sea. While grilling the fish, he cooked crabs in a makeshift small pot that he had made in the morning. Barbara and the Purple-Gold-Eyed Demon looked at the fish and crabs expectantly.
Looking at Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon, Fern couldn't help but want to laugh and said, "You two take care of the fish and crabs. I'm going back to the tent first. There are some things I haven't thought through yet. I need to think about them carefully." After that, Fern went back to the tent. Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon continued to look at the fish and crabs with anticipation.
After Fern returned to the tent, he piled the parts aside and lay in the tent recalling the details of today. What was wrong? Fern fell into deep thought for a long time. Outside, Barbara and the purple-gold-eyed demon had already started eating fish and crabs. Barbara looked at the tent while eating.
Fern suddenly had an idea and figured out why he felt something was strange today but couldn't find the answer. It turned out that there was something strange about the mural. The mural showed that a group of kind and honest bears lived in this area, but today, there were no monsters or beasts along the way. It was eerily quiet. Moreover, there was nothing in the ancient temple, but it made people feel full of vitality.
Thinking of this, Fern felt that he should go to the temple again tomorrow. He should be able to find the answer this time. When Fern was thinking about it, he heard a roar. The sound was like the sound of a whale, but not necessarily. Fern hurried out of the tent to check. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw Barbara with a nervous look on her face and the vigilant purple-gold-eyed monster.
Fern asked, "What was that sound just now?" Barbara replied, "There is something roaring in the sea. I can feel it. It is a huge thing coming towards us." Fern said to Combat Robot No. 223, "Combat 223, survey the sea water."
Combat robot No. 223 replied: "Command received, survey started." Combat robot No. 223 floated to the sea surface and began to survey. Barbara looked at Combat robot No. 223 nervously and said to Fern: "Why don't I go down to the sea to see what it is."
Fern tried to stop her, "It's too dangerous. Just wait on the shore. Even if you are a mermaid, what if that thing down there attacks you?" Barbara had no choice but to give up. The purple-gold-eyed monster said, "No matter what it is, be prepared for it in advance."
Fern nodded, indicating his agreement with the words of the purple-gold pupil monster. After returning from the survey, combat robot No. 223 said: "The survey results show that there is a huge object moving in the water, but we have not detected what the object is." The words of combat robot No. 223 were undoubtedly of no use.
Fern and the others could only wait. Fern looked at the sea with a vigilant face. The sea was so calm at the moment. Under the moonlight, it looked quiet and beautiful. "Woo~" That sound came out again. Barbara became more nervous. Fern saw that Barbara began to sweat, so he asked with concern: "Barbara, what's wrong with you?"
Barbara looked at the sea nervously and said, "I feel that thing is very scary, Fern, let's hide first, it's too scary." Barbara felt that the fear in her heart was growing bigger and bigger. Fern looked at Barbara and didn't know what to do, so he just hid first.
Fern said, "You guys hide first, I'll pack up the tent. All my parts are still in the tent." Barbara said in horror, "There's no time, Fern, give up the tent and hide first, it's coming." Fern suddenly looked at the sea and saw a large area of shadow. Fern immediately said to Barbara, "Barbara, hide first." Barbara immediately ran into the woods with the purple-gold eyed monster.
When they ran into the woods, they found that Fern and combat robot No. 223 had not caught up. Barbara looked at the beach and found that Fern was still racing against time to pull up the tent. Barbara really didn't understand Fern's behavior. For Fern, spare parts were the most important things in this world. If he wanted to survive on this continent, he must have these parts.
"Woo~"
Fern, who was folding up the tent, felt the roar coming from behind him. He immediately stood alert with the Fire Dragon Spear in his hand. He turned around carefully and found something floating up from the water. It looked like a whale, but the difference was that it had densely packed eyes on its forehead, which made it look creepy.
Fern hurriedly shouted: "Purple-gold eyed monster, quickly transform back to your true form and take my tent away." The purple-gold eyed monster instantly transformed back to its true form, pulled up Fern's tent, and took Fern with it, flying back to the forest. Fern stood in the forest and watched the monster slowly climb ashore.
Barbara felt her scalp tingling when she looked at the monster, and Fern felt the same. For people with trypophobia, the sight of this monster is unbearable. "Woo~" the monster roared again and again, and the sound was a bit sharp. Slowly, the purple-gold-eyed demon felt something was wrong.
The purple-gold-eyed monster said, "There is magic in its roar. If you listen to it for too long, you will be controlled." Fern looked at the monster with a serious expression and said to the combat robot No. 223, "Activate magic defense to shield the sonic attack." Combat robot No. 223 slowly floated up and said, "Magic defense activated." Barbara asked Fern worriedly, "What should we do now?"
Fern looked at the monster, not knowing what to do. He said, "Let's observe first and see what the monster wants to do." The monster kept roaring on the shore. Not long after, the voice of the purple-gold pupil monster came to Fern's mind. The purple-gold pupil monster said, "Fern, look at the woods over there!"
When Fern heard the words of the purple-gold-eyed monster, he immediately looked towards the woods over there and saw Guaiguai walking towards the monster. Fern said, "Combat Robot No. 223, analyze Guaiguai's condition immediately." Combat robot No. 223 began to scan Guaiguai.
Battle robot No. 223 said: "The scan results show that it is in a free state, its will is not clear, and it is being controlled." Fern heard the analysis results and looked at Guaiguai in shock. After a moment, Fern said to the purple-gold pupil monster: "Find a way to bring Guaiguai over. He is walking forward and will be in front of the monster."
The monster with purple-gold eyes said, "Okay, I'll go rescue Guaiguai later, you cover for me." After Fern nodded, he took out the Fire Dragon Spear and aimed at the monster. The monster with purple-gold eyes immediately transformed into its true form and flew to Guaiguai's side. When the monster saw a monster coming out to make trouble, the sound waves of its roar became louder and louder. The monster with purple-gold eyes became unstable and almost fell down. Seeing this, Fern immediately pulled the trigger and shot the monster.
The bullet hit the monster's body. The monster didn't know whether it was in pain or anger, but it roared at Fern. The monster's densely packed eyes glared at Fern. Then Fern saw two tentacles beside the monster, coming towards him, so fast that Fern didn't have time to react.
Fern was knocked away by the tentacles. If it weren't for the protection of Combat Robot No. 223, Fern would have been seriously injured. Barbara hurried to support Fern and said, "Are you okay?" Fern said, "I'm fine." She approached the monster and pointed the musket at it, pulled the trigger, and shot the monster. The purple-gold-eyed monster took advantage of this gap, grabbed the monster and fled into the depths of the forest.
When Fern saw that the purple-gold-eyed monster had taken Guaiguai away, he said to Barbara, "Let's go!" Then Fern took Barbara and walked deeper into the forest.
