In the current situation, Fang Er couldn't go back. Who knew if this thing had any remote communication methods or unknown tracking methods.
He casually tied the fishing net in his hand to the driver's seat and flew towards Hokkaido.
The thing was suspended in mid-air, with no place to exert force. Although it struggled powerfully, it had no effect on Fang Er.
Off the coast of Hokkaido, Fang Er found a deserted island, altered the entrance to the space-time channel, and sent a letter inside.
Not long after, Li Tai, Li Ke, and Sun Simiao came "across the realms" as a group!
"Shanzhang..."
Fang Er interrupted them with a gesture and pointed to the "stool" hanging in mid-air.
"I don't know where this thing came from. You guys help me figure it out."
Li Tai curiously poked it with a stick. The thing seemed startled and thrashed wildly.
"Qu ba, pei ba, zhe lan lü de pì fēng."
"Zhan ba, zhan a, yí zuì bèi wéi de mèng."
"Hey?? What is this thing calling?" Li Tai saw the thing let out another series of strange sounds and poked it a few more times happily with the stick.
Sun Simiao, on the other hand, stroked his beard thoughtfully, "Where did this object come from?"
"It crawled out of the volcano on Wò Island." Fang Er explained the whole story.
"Damn it!" Li Tai's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, and he complained with dissatisfaction.
"Shanzhang, you're not being fair. You didn't take me along for something so fun!"
Li Ke, upon hearing this, popped a cigarette into his mouth and lit it with a "pa" sound.
He exhaled a smoke ring and patted Li Tai on the shoulder.
"Fourth brother, don't be impatient. Dad is there. If you went, you'd still end up being beaten eight times a day."
Li Tai: .........
Damn it, he just got drunk and wanted to be a father for a day, and now it's a black history!
Sun Simiao silently took out a scalpel from his pocket, "Prince Kun, could you release this thing for me to dissect?"
Fang Er shook his head with some difficulty.
"That might be a bit difficult. This thing runs too fast, and it jumps a hundred meters high. It jumps even more than a flea."
"Hey~ Shanzhang, watch me!" Li Ke said, pulling a handgun from his pocket and firing three shots.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
It was so fast that Fang Er couldn't stop him.
But the next moment, the thing seemed completely unfazed. Apart from continuing to cry out, not a single bullet hole could be found on it.
The bullets were directly deflected when they hit it.
Fang Er, Li Ke, and Li Tai were all dumbfounded.
Sun Simiao, however, seemed not surprised at all and even reminded them.
"Prince Han was too impulsive. Did you forget where this thing came from?"
"If this thing is a creature from an unknown world, then being bulletproof isn't particularly strange."
"And if this thing crawled out from under a volcano, then given their harsh living environment, it's not difficult to understand."
Fang Er: ..........
As expected, having an elder at home is like having a treasure!
"Damn it, I don't believe it!"
Li Ke cursed and turned to walk away. After a while, he returned with a stick as thick as a thigh and started beating the suspended "stool."
"Bang..."
The "stool" and the fishing net were knocked away together, and then swung back due to the ropes.
With this blow, the "stool's" cry became much louder, almost piercing the eardrums of everyone present.
"Cáng yūn zhuō suī lóu làng lóu..."
"Wèihé wèi hòu sī dēng lóu..."
"Suī néng péng ài yì yǒu fù sì sàn sī yī yǒu..."
"Third brother, what's the point of you hitting it aimlessly when it has no leverage?"
Li Tai scornfully rolled his eyes at Li Ke, then walked to the edge of the nearby forest and carried back a stick himself.
"Come, I'll help you hit it!"
Sun Simiao sat on a nearby rock and watched the two brothers busy themselves happily.
Each with a stick, they started hitting the "stool" as if it were a baseball.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"....."
Fang Er's mouth twitched unnaturally. Damn it, he felt sore for that thing...
But speaking of which, what exactly is this!
Why did it attack him out of the blue?
"Crack!"
Five minutes later, a cracking sound suddenly came from the "stool."
"Stop!"
Sun Simiao quickly called out to stop them.
By the time the fishing net stopped swaying, the "stool" inside was no longer as restless as before.
He walked closer with his scalpel, took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket, and examined it carefully.
Soon, as if he had discovered something, he beckoned to Fang Er and said, "Huh? Prince Kun, come quickly!"
One of the "stool's" six legs had cracked, and some gray liquid was dripping from it.
When poked with a knife, it was no longer able to resist.
Old Sun dipped some of the gray liquid with his finger, tasted it, and nodded, "It seems to have no toxicity."
"Come, put it down!"
Li Ke, upon hearing this, shot the rope above, and the "stool" fell to the ground along with the fishing net.
Everyone worked together to untie the fishing net.
"This dark, gooey thing seems to be armor, or like the shell of a crab."
Old Sun tapped it a few times with his hand, muttering to himself as he listened to the crisp sound.
As he spoke, he inserted his scalpel into a seam and pried it open a few times.
After being beaten by the two brothers for so long, there were more cracks than the one he had seen earlier.
With a little effort, he pried off a piece.
"Clang~"
The fragment fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Li Tai stepped forward, picked it up, and examined it in his hand before saying in surprise.
"Shanzhang, this seems to be some kind of metal!"
Hmm?
Fang Er also became interested. Since it was metal, it meant that this thing was wearing armor outside!
With such means, it implied that it was a civilized race.
The fragment was neither gold nor jade, and it felt smooth in the hand.
Despite being hit so hard by the two brothers, it had not dented or deformed, only showing some cracks, indicating its protective capabilities were quite strong.
Based on this, the creature inside should only have been injured by the impact.
"No!"
"This thing seems to be recorded in ancient books!"
Sun Simiao looked at the fur under the armor and suddenly spoke thoughtfully.
