Everything in his surroundings evolved in a blink. He was in the Forest.
"This... woah... I'm really... but how?... woah, I'm back in the forest."
After saying this, Zyric quietly hid behind a tree.
"I have to find the advantage in this, but why am I hiding here?" After saying this, Zyric took out a long knife he had picked up from the dining table. He slowly came out and started walking ahead carefully.
Zyric brought the Fat Insect to his hand.
"Fat Insect, you can see many things, right?" Upon hearing Zyric, the Fat Insect jumped to the ground and vanished.
"I didn't tell you to leave. Did you run away?" Zyric thought that his Fat Insect had abandoned him after returning.
"No, you can stay connected to my mind. And yes, I can detect nearby beasts easily," the Fat Insect said.
"You are connected to my mind?" Zyric said.
"Yes, and what I know, you will also know, and vice versa. If you stay within my range, my strength and senses increase a lot underground. So as long as I am in the ground, stay connected to me, and you will keep knowing if there is any beast nearby," the Fat Insect replied.
While they were talking, Zyric suddenly sensed something.
"There's a dinosaur ahead, running." After saying this, Zyric hid right there.
Just as he hid, a strange dinosaur ran past Zyric very fast. Its speed was extremely high. But Zyric also saw that a spear had been thrust into the dinosaur's body. Blood was pouring from its body because of that spear.
Zyric was watching all this when suddenly some humans came running past him.
"Hey, these are humans. I hope they aren't tribespeople who might cook and eat me." Zyric thought to himself.
In old times, people used to cook and eat humans too, Zyric knew this. So, he got scared and didn't come in front of them. But their clothes looked good. It seemed they were royal-type people.
"Man, despite being so injured, how does it have such speed?" one man from the crowd said.
"How would I know? Catch it first." After saying this, they all continued chasing the dinosaur.
Zyric also began following them slowly, while the Fat Insect was telling Zyric the dinosaur's location. Zyric kept moving forward rapidly.
He reached a place where there was a small open ground. There were fewer trees and plants there, and the dinosaur had fallen. It was now nearly on the point of fainting. It somehow got on its feet and gave a loud roar to frighten the humans.
"He is too stubborn to learn his lesson. Come on, we'll still give you a chance. We won't kill you. We'll tame you, and if we tame you, we'll get your speed, and a swift beast like you would truly be amazing," the man said to the dinosaur.
Zyric could see the dinosaur. It also seemed light, and it had its arms and legs very small, making its speed so great. Its tail stretched far back, and the eyes of the dinosaur were flickering as though it was going to faint.
"Fat Insect, you can help it," Zyric said to the Fat Insect.
The next moment, the Fat Insect suddenly emerged from the ground and started biting everyone's legs.
"Driller Stone!! Run!"
After saying this, all those humans fled the scene. The dinosaur also started fearing the Driller Stone.
But suddenly, it saw a shadow coming over it from the front.
"'Driller Stone', so that is your name? They seem to be quite afraid of you. Is your terror quite high here?" Zyric said to the Driller Stone, for him the Fat Insect.
"Yes, yes, what do you know of my swarm... anyway, yes, my swarm isn't here right now. That's why you're lucky," the Fat Insect told Zyric.
Zyric looked at the dinosaur with a smile. It had fallen, but had not fainted yet.
"Are you okay?" Zyric asked the dinosaur.
"How...? How can you speak my language?" the dinosaur asked Zyric.
"I don't know. Whatever, forget it, I will treat you." After saying this, Zyric slowly pulled out the spear. Zyric saw that there was a strange color on the spear.
"Are you in pain?" Zyric asked the dinosaur.
"Ugh, no. I'm having fun. What else do you want to know?" the dinosaur said to Zyric.
"No, no, no, you are misinterpreting something." After saying this, Zyric took out his treatment box. He had brought a treatment box and medicines with him, which he began applying to the dinosaur's wound. But for some reason, the wound was rotting.
"There's acid on this spear." Zyric said this while checking the spear.
Applying medicine wasn't helping; instead, Zyric's finger started burning.
"Now what should I do? How will you survive?" Zyric said to the dinosaur.
"There's no way for me to survive. I'm going to die, I know this," the dinosaur said to Zyric. Hearing this, Zyric looked sad because he couldn't save it.
"There is one way. Actually, only one way, if you get tamed by this boy." As soon as the Fat Insect said this, the dinosaur looked angry.
"How dare you suggest that I enter his prison-like Fuzan Vault! And anyway, he is a child. Where would he get a Fuzan Vault from?" the dinosaur said to the Fat Insect.
"But you're a Driller Stone. What are you doing with him... with this kid? As far as I know, you're very ferocious and ruthless, so why side with this boy?"
The dinosaur asked the Fat Insect while slowly fainting.
Zyric and the Fat Insect stared at it, the tension thick in the air.
