Chapter 29
Ugh... It's so heavy, who's pressing on me... Get away... Get away... It feels like there's a huge rock on my back.
Fu Le felt like the air in his chest was almost completely squeezed out. He tried to open his mouth to breathe, but instead, a mouthful of sand filled his mouth. Holy crap!
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Fu Le slightly opened her eyes, revealing a dark yellow hue. Damn it! Who buried her? Luckily, she wasn't buried too deep, and she could still move it. Using all her strength, she finally managed to get out of the sandpit. "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... Damn it, shuttle, are you even human? Why did you bury me? I almost died!!" Fu Le cursed angrily.
Then he took out a mirror from the ring, and upon looking at it, he saw that his nostrils, ears, and eyes—everywhere there was a hole—were covered in sand.
"What the heck? Where am I? Did you teleport me to the desert?" Fu Le looked around at his surroundings. All he could see was a yellowish-brown sky and earth, with sand blowing in the wind and no cattle or sheep in sight.
It was all sand, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Shuttle, what are you doing? Shuttle? Are you pretending to be dead? Is this 1938? Huh?"
……silence……
'Transmitter malfunction. Sorry, there are no meson energy stones here. I cannot collect or absorb energy. Good luck, host.'
"What? No energy stones? What do you mean by 'good luck'?" Fu Le asked in confusion and panic.
'Countdown 336 hours, 335:58:23, system malfunction, requires long slumber for self-repair. Host, goodbye Earth.'
Fu Le: !!!
"What do you mean? A shuttle? A shuttle? How can you be so unreliable?! Why has this taken so long? It's been half a month already! Where are we? Where are we? You need to tell me! Shuttle, you son of a bitch!!"
Being in an unfamiliar place, Fu Le took out the compass he had specially stored in his ring, found the right direction, and after taking precautions against wind and sand, began to head south.
Before long, I was exhausted and thirsty, so I stopped and collapsed on the ground to rest for a while.
"Where am I? Is anyone here?" Fu Le's roar echoed through the desert.
After venting for a while, Fu Le took out a teapot, tore off the veil from his face, drank some fresh milk, and pondered what to do next.
I don't know what dimension this is. The shuttle thing doesn't sound right. I feel like it's somewhere else too. Could it have transported her to some kind of cosmic rift?
In any case, she couldn't stay in the desert forever. Fu Le walked and rested, drinking milk and eating kiwi fruit when she was tired. After resting, she continued to walk forward. In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed, and Fu Le's physical strength had reached its limit, but the desert still had no end.
What is this? Hiking and training in the wild? Just thinking about having to endure the wind and sun in the desert for half a month, Fu Le wished he could die, and his resentment towards the shuttle deepened.
...
The watch hands have struck 11 p.m., but the sky remains unchanged. Where is this edge of the world? Is it where darkness never falls? Or where the days are longer?
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it. At worst, it's just wasting half a month, just hiking for half a month. Time to sleep.
Fu Le took out a sleeping bag from his spatial dimension, packed himself inside, and was about to get a good night's sleep when suddenly something flew across the sky and blocked half the sky in the blink of an eye.
Before he could think further, a sharp beastly cry grew louder as a dark shadow, carried by the wind, swooped down toward Fu Le.
"Holy crap!!" Fu Le was so fast that he only had time to press the button on the protective ring.
'Bang!' A huge bird beak, shaped like a helmet and magnified a hundred times, slammed into her protective shield like a heavy iron rod, making a loud noise.
In Fu Le's horrified pupils, a huge two-headed bird soared into the sky, then cried out and circled in mid-air. Its fist-sized eyes on either side of its two heads stared intently at her, clearly regarding her as prey.
Good heavens!
Fu Le's heart was racing, he was having some difficulty breathing, and his legs felt weak.
Is there any way out for them?
How long will this ring shield last?
Fu Le hesitated for only a few seconds before the two-headed black-feathered bird swooped down again, aggressive and carrying with it a cloud of yellow sand.
"Ahhhhh..." Even with the protective shield, under the stimulation of such a visible and enormous crisis, Fu Le covered his head and knelt on the sand, letting out a shrill scream.
Boom!! The sound was very loud!!
The bird's beak struck hard again, and this time, perhaps it hurt, because the two-headed bird let out a sharp cry. Its feathers, which blotted out the sky, stirred up a cloud of yellow dust around Fu Le, and it flew away diagonally, like a spring up from dry land, before returning to mid-air. Then, its cries became more rapid, and even Fu Le, who did not understand bird feathers, could tell that the bird had gone berserk.
What did she do to deserve this?! Ugh! Fu Le collapsed in extreme fear and resentment towards the shuttle! Shuttle!! I curse your whole family!!
The calls from the sky continued. Looking up, Fu Le could even see the two-headed bird stretching its neck, like a rooster crowing.
At this moment, even though Fu Le didn't want to understand, he knew that the bird was calling to its friends!
If you can block the attack of one bird, what about the second and the third?
Or even more?
How long can the ring's protective shield protect her?
The thought was terrifying; Fu Le trembled all over. Compared to the previous two worlds, this time, her chances of survival were slim.
She had to find a way to save herself, she absolutely had to save herself...
With trembling hands, Fu Le knelt down and pulled out the small bow and arrow that Yu Zhang had given her. She aimed the scope at the two-headed bird's abdomen, took out the arrow, nocked it, and fired. The three steps were completed in one go. She didn't expect to hit the target on the first shot. After all, it was her first time using this. It would be a miracle if she could hit it.
They thought it was just an ordinary steel arrow, but to their surprise, the arrow burst into flames at its sharp tip halfway through the air, turning into a rocket that shot rapidly toward the large bird.
The large bird, which was chirping, looked at the flying object with confusion, not understanding what it was. The bird tilted its head at the same time, but the animal's self-preservation instinct made it fly backward. At this moment, a magical scene occurred. The arrow suddenly had the power to track, the arrowhead changed direction, and a ball of fire burst from the tail of the arrow. It became even faster and chased after the two-headed bird, kissing the vulnerable part of its abdomen.
A mournful bird cry pierced the sky as the arrow exploded, scattering countless bird feathers in the process.
Fu Le below was stunned... He really had encountered a ghost!
Isn't this just a simplified version of an intercontinental ballistic missile? It can even track and change course!
Suddenly, the light dimmed abruptly. Fu Le stiffened his neck and turned his head, only to see a sky full of bird feathers that blotted out the sun, flying in from the distant horizon.
Fu Le: !!!
Is Heaven going to destroy me?!
What should we do in this situation?
Run!!
Fu Le packed up his sleeping mat and ran like a madman.
Next time, next time, she's going to buy two SUVs and put them in her ring, sob sob sob...
From God's perspective, you can see flocks of birds circling and swooping down from the sky, as well as a short, bean-sized creature with a transparent bubble on its head, slowly moving through the sand.
Bang bang bang!! Sharp collision sounds kept coming from his ears. Fu Le was shocked and panicked. He couldn't even cry. He could only run forward as fast as he could.
Fu Le, whose physical strength was extremely poor, felt his lungs burning. In extreme fear, he gasped for breath with his mouth wide open, not daring to stop walking...
Ten minutes... twenty minutes... an hour...
Fu Le was finally too exhausted to move, his vision went black, and he was thrown out, plunging headfirst into the yellow sand. In the sky, another two-headed bird saw that its opportunity had come and swooped down.
'Bang! ! ! '
The protective shield of the ring suddenly stirred, making a cracking sound like glass. Fu Le was startled and sat up abruptly, letting out a hoarse hiss. Was something going to happen? She looked up in alarm, but found nothing.
But at this moment, she had no doubt that if things continued like this, the protective shield wouldn't last much longer.
The Lama people are so unfair; they gave us a protective ring, and it was even a defective one...
