“Dimo, can you fly?”
In a clear space,
Chu Chen watched Dimo striding through the air with its four little legs, seemingly at ease,
and couldn’t help but be surprised.
He thought that Dimo would need to evolve at least once more, becoming a Royal Holy Light Dimo,
before it could fly.
After all, Royal Holy Light Dimo had a pair of light wings behind it, which clearly indicated that it could fly.
But now it seemed that this was just his preconceived notion.
Who said you could only fly if you had wings?
It didn’t have wings, and yet it could still fly!
“Dimo, Dimo! (Buddy, flying is nothing difficult!)”
Dimo replied from the sky, clearly happy.
The feeling of flying was great, and it really liked it.
After a while, it seemed that the novelty of independent flight had passed,
and Dimo returned to Chu Chen.
And its body began to shrink slowly, finally returning to its original form.
“Ah, this!!”
“Dimo, have you devolved?!”
Seeing that Dimo had actually returned to its original form from the Holy Light Dimo form,
Chu Chen couldn’t help but be shocked!
He had never heard of this kind of spirit being able to revert to its original form after evolution.
Could it be that something happened to Dimo, causing its form to regress?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen's face began to show a look of worry.
“Dimo Dimo! (Don't worry buddy!)”
“Dimo Dimo. (I’m just more used to being in my original form.)”
“Dimo! (I can transform back when I fight!)”
Seeing Chu Chen looking at it with a worried expression, as if he had misunderstood something,
Dimo quickly explained a few things.
“You can switch between forms at will?”
“So that's how it is.”
“I didn't know spirits could do that.”
“It makes sense.”
Hearing Dimo's explanation, Chu Chen put aside his worries, and even felt a bit happy.
Honestly, he also thought Dimo was cuter when it was younger.
Although it looked more imposing after becoming Holy Light Dimo, it lacked a bit of cuteness.
It was better now, with its cute innocent look, it looked very good to pet.
“Alright, we’ve made significant progress, it's time to make a new plan.”
“Should we continue grinding or go look for the Star Nucleus?”
After finding a quiet place to sit down, Chu Chen and Dimo
began to think about their next move.
Compared to when they first arrived on this planet,
they could be said to have been reborn,
both man and spirit had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Chu Chen had successfully gone from a mere mortal to a two-star brave mage.
He possessed the strength to kill thousands of Riftworld creatures single-handedly.
As for Dimo, it had completed its first evolution.
It had gained a power that even surpassed Chu Chen’s current strength.
In addition to the increase in strength, they had also fought at least hundreds of battles with Riftworld monsters during this period,
and had accumulated a lot of combat experience.
It could be said that the two of them were no longer the inexperienced rookies they once were,
but could truly be called,
Strong individuals!!
And with such strength,
Chu Chen couldn’t help but start searching for clues about the Star Nucleus.
“Dimo, since we are both far from what we were before.”
“Then we should go look for clues about the Star Nucleus.”
“As for these monsters, we can forget about them!”
“We’ve been grinding for so long, if we keep grinding, I'm going to vomit.”
“What do you think?”
Chu Chen looked at Dimo and told it his thoughts.
“Dimo! (I agree with you, buddy!)”
“Dimo Dimo! (Actually, I’m also feeling sick to my stomach!)”
Hearing Chu Chen’s determination to go find the Star Nucleus,
instead of continuing to grind,
Dimo quickly nodded.
They had been grinding monsters for over a month, not to mention Chu Chen, even Dimo felt sick of it.
It was naturally a cheerful character, and naturally didn't want to keep repeating these boring things.
“Since you agree too, let's make it so!”
“Let's go, start looking for the Star Nucleus!”
“Ugh... Forget it, we’ve been fighting for days, my spirit is exhausted.”
“Let's rest for half a day before we go.”
“Dimo! (I agree!)”
Having made their decision,
Chu Chen and Dimo began to rest in place,
planning to set off to find the Star Nucleus after their energy recovered.
......
On this planet, there was no such thing as night.
It was always in a state of dim light.
Therefore, Chu Chen and Dimo didn’t have to worry about the coming of night making the surrounding visibility blurry and putting them in danger.
This allowed them to relax even more while resting.
“Dimo, wake up!”
After meditating for eight or nine hours,
Chu Chen opened his eyes.
He looked at Dimo, who was sleeping soundly beside him,
and poked its butt with his hand, calling out to it.
“Dimo. (Ugh, I slept so well.)”
Hearing Chu Chen's call,
Dimo rubbed its sleepy eyes,
yawned slightly, stretched,
and came to Chu Chen with a spring in its step.
“Wow, you're full of energy!”
“It seems like you got a good rest, Dimo.”
Seeing Dimo's lively appearance, Chu Chen smiled and patted its head.
“Dimo? (Buddy, should we go?)” Noticing that Chu Chen was still sitting on the ground, Dimo couldn’t help but urge.
“Haha, look at you, you're so eager.”
“Let's go then!” Chu Chen said jokingly to Dimo as he got up.
After standing up,
Chu Chen didn’t immediately leave.
Instead, he looked around,
thinking for a moment.
“I remember that the last batch of Riftworld legions went in that direction.”
“In other words, there might be a native civilization in that direction!”
After analyzing for a moment,
Chu Chen locked onto a location.
This direction was where the barbarians on their ferocious beasts had gone.
“Dimo, let's go!”
“Let's head in that direction!”
After calling out to Dimo,
Chu Chen cast a levitation spell and flew rapidly towards the distance.
Dimo, seeing this, also leaped into the air and followed Chu Chen.
........
In the air,
Chu Chen and Dimo flew,
while paying attention to the situation below.
They wanted to see if they could find any traces of a native civilization.
However, after they flew for four or five hundred kilometers,
they didn’t see a single living being.
Let alone signs of human habitation.
“There’s nothing but ice below.”
“Are there really civilizations on this planet?”
Looking at the towering ice mountains below,
Chu Chen couldn’t help but feel a little doubt.
“Dimo! (Maybe we haven’t flown far enough!)”
“Dimo Dimo! (We might find it if we fly further.)” Dimo offered its opinion after hearing Chu Chen’s words.
“You're right, let's keep flying!”
Chu Chen nodded,
thinking that Dimo made a good point.
He continued flying with Dimo along the same route.
This time, they encountered a few groups of ordinary Riftworld creatures on the way,
so, out of a good habit of not wasting anything,
Chu Chen and Dimo took action,
adding nearly two thousand Locke Diamonds to their collection.
Then, after flying for another thousand kilometers,
they stopped.
“My magic is depleted, I can’t fly anymore, let's rest and go.”
Chu Chen and Dimo came to the top of an ice mountain,
tired, they sat down on the ground.
A whole day of flying made them both very tired.
“We’ve flown for over a thousand kilometers.”
“And still haven’t found a trace of human life.”
“We haven’t even found the previous batch of Riftworld creatures.”
“Did they just disappear into thin air?”
Thinking about how he and Dimo flew for a day without any gains.
Chu Chen couldn’t help but feel doubt.
Perhaps this planet was as he had guessed before, that there was no longer any civilization here?
But where did those Riftworld creatures go?
This was something Chu Chen couldn’t figure out.
“Dimo? (Hey, what's that?)”
While Chu Chen was lost in thought,
Dimo was bored,
so it wandered around the area.
As it wandered,
it saw a strange object glowing on the cliff not far away.
This made it very curious,
so it couldn’t help but come to Chu Chen and tell him about its discovery.
“A glowing object?”
“Where?”
“Where??”
Hearing that Dimo had found a strange thing,
Chu Chen quickly stood up and looked in the direction Dimo pointed.
“That’s... ”
“A piece of... glowing ice?”
“It looks like there’s... a shadow inside?”
“It seems like... perhaps it’s... ”
“A human shadow!!!!”
“A human shadow frozen in ice!!!!”
“Could it be!!”
Looking at the strange ice that seemed to be frozen with a person inside,
a look of shock began to appear on Chu Chen's face.
The ice, which seemed to be frozen with a person, reminded him of someone.
Someone who shouldn’t be here.
