After rummaging through the system warehouse for a long time, he finally found something he wanted.
An old-fashioned film camera.
Hehehe, electronic products don't work, but this kind of thing should work, right?
"Click, click..."
"Click, click, click, click..."
He frantically took pictures of the mountainside. After finishing, he threw the cameras back into the system warehouse and retrieved new ones.
However, these photos would need to be developed by someone after he returned.
The cracked mountainside continued to spew out scalding liquid.
Fang Er attempted to get closer again, but was pushed back by the high temperature of the crater.
Even with the system's protection, he still felt very uncomfortable.
This situation was like a human being able to breathe in a specific liquid but still feeling discomfort.
He cautiously observed his surroundings. Such a massive disturbance could not possibly be caused by those mushrooms.
The dust devil continued, with large amounts of volcanic ash being swept into the crater.
It was as if heaven and earth were being poured in.
In the sky, the dark clouds formed by volcanic ash were visibly shrinking at a rapid pace.
Initially, when the dark clouds covered the largest area, they could almost encompass the entire "Jiaopenji" (a colloquial and derogatory term for Japan).
But now, the outermost edges had shrunk to within Honshu Island.
"Damn it, it seems I don't need to worry about radioactive dust anymore."
Although he still hadn't figured out the reason, it did lift a weight off Fang Er's mind.
"Tap, tap..."
"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the distant mountainside.
It sounded like something was tapping on stones, or like someone typing on a keyboard, incessantly.
"Kid, retreat quickly!"
The system's voice sounded in his mind.
Although Fang Er didn't know what was happening, he heard a trace of panic in the system's voice.
This had never happened before!
"Whoosh..."
The gold-dredging ship retreated a hundred kilometers like a streak of light.
"Sister System, what's wrong!"
Only then did he ask.
"Something came out of the volcano, it seems to be an unknown life form!"
Fang Er: ???
Unknown life form?
Could it be that the explosion had created a wormhole leading to another unknown world?
"What are you thinking? With this little energy, how could that be possible!"
"If it were as easy as you think, would I have bothered to come all the way from a parallel world to the main world to find you?"
Damn.
That made a lot of sense.
So, what could this unknown life form the system mentioned be?
And where did it come from?
Fang Er became intensely interested in this question.
Damn it, cursed bird facing upwards, it will never die for ten thousand years!
He gritted his teeth and made a risky decision, controlling the gold-dredging ship to turn back.
"You scoundrel, you haven't paid your dues yet! If you die, what will I do!"
"Do what! If I don't figure out what's going on, I won't even have the appetite to give you my dues!"
Fang Er immediately retorted.
Things were as he said, if he didn't understand the reason, he couldn't even eat well...
A few minutes later, he hovered in the air a few kilometers from Mount Fuji, peering down at the foothills with binoculars.
Compared to when he had left earlier, the foothills were now covered with many strange "things."
He called them "things" because he had never seen anything like them before.
They were less than three feet tall, completely black.
They had six legs, but no heads were visible.
They looked like aliens from a sci-fi movie.
Or like ordinary stools in people's homes, just with two extra legs...
Suddenly, one of them moved.
It tapped the ground a few times with one of its "legs" and then charged towards Fang Er.
The other "stools" followed behind, numbering in the hundreds!
Fang Er's heart sank.
What in the world were these things!
At such a distance, he couldn't believe they could detect him!
But the reality forced him to admit it.
"Tap, tap..."
"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
In less than five minutes, he was horrified to find that these things had already reached within a hundred meters of him.
The tapping sounds he had heard earlier were the footsteps of these "stools" moving.
"The front wheel doesn't turn, the back wheel turns..."
Fang Er: ???
Holy crap, these things can talk?
But he couldn't understand what they were saying.
He tried to project his brainwaves, hoping to communicate with them.
But he quickly got a very baffling result. In his "brainwave" world, these things seemed to not exist at all!
He couldn't "see" them!
Fang Er withdrew his brainwaves and looked warily at them, "Where do we dig potatoes?"
The "stool" that had discovered him first spun around a few times in place, unsure if it understood.
Then, it spoke again, "Karaoke king is so..."
Fang Er: ........
Damn, no communication!
"Click, click..."
The strange sound came again, and the thing actually stood up.
Can you imagine what a headless corpse with six legs standing with its arms raised looks like?
The thing opposite him was in that pose now!
"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
As the thing stood up, the other "stools" suddenly charged rapidly towards Fang Er.
It seemed they had hostile intentions.
Damn it...
Fang Er quickly retreated, simultaneously increasing his altitude. Before he understood their attack methods, maintaining a safe distance was necessary.
"Boom!"
He casually threw out a B-2 bomber, which landed on the ground and turned into an exploding fireball.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
Furthermore, after the explosion, they jumped consecutively and slammed into Fang Er.
Their speed while crawling on the ground was already astonishing.
But seeing them leap, Fang Er's heart leaped into his throat.
These things were just too outrageous!
A slight jump could reach a hundred meters high, and their speed was incredibly fast!
Even faster than when they were running on the ground!
Seeing the "stools" charging towards him at high speed, Fang Er controlled the gold-dredging ship to advance instead of retreating.
Just as he was about to have "intimate contact" with one of them, he threw out a large net with a wave of his hand, while simultaneously turning the ship sharply and accelerating to near-supersonic speeds.
The "stool" brushed past Fang Er, its body passing through the fishing net.
Feeling the rope in his hand suddenly tighten, Fang Er's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
Hehehehe!
Caught you!
Although it was incredibly heavy...
The "stool" army didn't seem to react intensely when they saw their comrade captured. They continued to bare their teeth and claws at Fang Er, pursuing him relentlessly, just as before.
However, the one trapped in Fang Er's net kept struggling, repeatedly howling the same phrase.
"Stealing heart Liang, Xin Huiyang..."
