91. Learning to Fly an Aircraft

Shu Shu always knew that his own talent was poor, but he really didn't expect that it could actually be so poor.

Just by eating a little bit of aquatic plants with spiritual power, he was actually driven to reveal his original shape because he was unable to absorb the spiritual power inside those plants.

It was truly humiliating. Edgar had obviously eaten so much yet was fine, and so was the little snake. Why when it was his turn . . . . Shu Shu was so angry that both his cheeks puffed up.

The chaotic spiritual power inside Shu Shu’s body finally calmed down with Edgar’s assistance. In addition, most of the spiritual power was absorbed by the child in Shu Shu’s belly . . . . Shu Shu still maintained the shape of a little hamster though, lying flat on his back looking skyward and pretending to be dead.

"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?" Edgar asked worriedly.

There was no uncomfortable place, just did not want to move . . . . Shu Shu glanced at Edgar gloomily. Edgar was a very talented mythological animal, while he was a daemon hamster with very poor talent. The gap was really huge, making him want to bite Edgar again.

However, his teeth could not bite Edgar at all . . . . So maddening!

When Edgar saw the little hamster open his liquid dark eyes and grind his teeth yet looking pain-free, he knew that Shu Shu should have no big problem and was only unhappy. So he immediately shifted the subject, "I’ll grill you some fish to eat?"

Having heard what was said, the little hamster turned over and sat up, nodding aloofly. His body was hurt by the rampaging spiritual power; after the pain, he was really hungry . . . .

Although Edgar was currently a fallen beast, but his situation was much better than when he had just met Shu Shu. After all, he had claws now. Edgar cleaned up the fish with his little short claws and directly grilled them on the solar grill.

The grill was not only solar-powered but could also detect the condition of the food and adjust its temperature accordingly. There was no need to worry about the fish getting scorched. As a result, Edgar did not encounter any trouble when grilling the fish and soon had a fish ready. He put it on a plate and then placed the plate in front of the little hamster.

Shu Shu, who had become a hamster and was much smaller than the fish Edgar caught, smelled the fragrance that came out of the grilled fish. He could not wait to climb onto the plate while sniffing the fragrance that filled the air intoxicatingly. After the grilled fish had cooled down, he went straight into the fish belly and then ate the meat on it.

Edgar left two fish for Shu Shu and then put the other two fish into the food processor, turning them into a thick paste for the little snake placed in the box.

The two fish for the little snake’s meal did not have too many seasonings. As for the taste, it could only be described as bland. However, the little snake did not reject it at all and was extremely pleased with his meal.

Shu Shu was also very satisfied with his meal. At the same time, because he got into the fish belly, his body was now full of the smell of grilled fish and looked like a delicious plush ball.

It was too slow to eat like this . . . . Shu Shu gnawed at the fish for a long time and only managed to consume a little. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned back into a human shape. He put on clothes, took a seat next to the table, and started to gorge himself . . . . In fact, his speed was not much faster. When he was being a hamster, the fish bones were very big for him and quite easy to avoid. But now that he had turned into a person, the fish bones became very troublesome.

"Was it enough?" Edgar asked.

"Enough." Shu Shu replied. After wiping his mouth, he turned his gaze toward the remaining aquatic plants. "I feel strong all over after eating it. I want to eat again . . ." Although a moment ago he had suffered unbearable pain from the rampaging spiritual power after eating too much aquatic plants, but now he felt comfortable from head to foot, making him can’t help but want to eat a little more.

Of course, he also wanted to do this to give the child in his belly a little more spiritual power—after eating the aquatic plants, his child had visibly grown bigger, and his belly also stuck out now!

"Let’s wait awhile before you eat again, and you must eat less when you eat." Edgar said. Shu Shu's situation just now had really scared him; however, eating just a little bit of aquatic plants should be good for the child.

Shu Shu nodded, agreeing with regret across his whole face. Edgar glanced at the grill next to him and suddenly said, "I'll let the men who follow us return."

"Eh? Why?" Shu Shu was a bit puzzled. He thought it was very impressive to go out with a large group of people . . . .

"Your secret can’t be known to others, so we’re just going to take a robot along." Edgar explained. Shu Shu had many secrets on his body; some of the secrets did not matter if known by others, but some others . . . had better be hidden for the time being. It was definitely more convenient for them to move without those men.

Besides, Edgar wanted to have a two-person world with Shu Shu instead of being followed by a group of people. However, his wish for a two-person world was impossible because Shu Shu refused to leave the little snake behind and was of the opinion that they could not throw the little snake to others irresponsibly.

Edgar consented.

Anyway, he was now a snake and could not do anything, so it was all right if Shu Shu wanted to take the little snake along.

Parting ways with the soldiers on the oasis, Shu Shu and Edgar got onto the best aircraft left by those men.

The aircraft had autopilot, but it required the pilot to connect to the network to choose a route. Since there was no network on the Fallen Beast Planet, the autopilot was naturally useless.

"Shu Shu, how about you learn to fly an aircraft?" Edgar proposed.

"I can’t, ah!" Shu Shu refused at once. He had not even ridden a bicycle; how could he directly fly such a high-end aircraft?

"Actually, flying an aircraft is very simple . . ." Edgar started to explain to Shu Shu.

Science and technology could liberate human beings. Naturally, many things were becoming simpler and easier to use. The modes of transportation were also the same. The aircraft of the Beastman Empire was much better than human cars—it was pre-installed with many functions such as the ability to automatically get out of the way when there were obstacles ahead and the ability to keep the body of the aircraft steady to ensure that people who were unable to pilot would not get into a traffic accident.

Shu Shu immediately felt reassured after hearing of these two functions. He pressed down the power switch to start the aircraft without the slightest hesitation and then, holding the steering wheel, started to speed up.

In order to avoid being stared at by the strange birds in the sky, Shu Shu flew the aircraft only a few meters from the ground. His grasp of the steering wheel was not so good, so that the aircraft nearly ran into trees and rocks several times. But he did not need to worry at all because every time he was about to bump into things and at imminent peril, the aircraft was able to get out of the way by itself.

Really . . . it was so fun!

Shu Shu felt like he was playing a game. He slowed down the speed of the aircraft to hover in the desert.

This oasis was not far from the area where Shu Shu and others lived. Shu Shu’s area had been very lively recently, and it was inevitable that there were fallen beasts who came to the oasis for a rest.

At this moment, a group of fallen beasts came near this oasis. They glanced at the direction of the oasis and finally sat in the desert to eat the captured prey. These were the group of fallen beasts in the mountain and the hyena who had come to inform them.

The fallen beasts in this group radiated an aura of violence, and the snake fallen beast who took the lead looked incomparably gloomy and cold and seemed to carry a murderous aura. As they ate, they began to communicate.

They had been associates for quite a long time, and they had their own communication methods. The low growls and text allowed them to have a relatively fast-paced chat.

"Aldous, the crown prince and the crown princess are really in that oasis? What shall we do next?" A cat fallen beast turned his gaze toward their boss.

The huge snake beast tapped the ground with his tail. "We must think of a way to save ourselves."

These fallen beasts had all violated the law. Some were downright criminals; they broke their beast cores and became fallen beasts while they were committing a crime or when they were arrested. Some were those who were resentful after becoming fallen beasts; they tried to take revenge and ended up committing a crime. According to reason, fallen beasts like them should be put in prison. But since they were fallen beasts . . . and considering that the Beastman Empire had not prepared a prison for fallen beasts, the people in the upper level of the Empire simply sent them to the Fallen Beast Planet.

Before Reynolds came to the Fallen Beast Planet, such criminals named themselves kings and lorded over the Fallen Beast Planet because they were the most vicious of all. But after Reynolds came, these men were all defeated and could only went into hiding with their tails between their legs. Later, when there were criminals coming, they would be driven away by Reynolds.

This group of fallen beasts understood well that it was clearly impossible for the crown princess to save them with his method of restoring the beast core . . . . Even if Shu Shu was willing to save them, so many people were waiting for Shu Shu to save them. Maybe it would take another hundred years before it was their turn. Therefore, they could only try to save themselves.

"What’s the method?" Someone asked.

"As long as we can grab that Shu Shu, we don’t need to worry about anything else." Aldous wrote on the ground, the snake's vertical pupils narrowing and flashing with cold light.

Along the way, they had asked numerous people about the crown prince and the crown princess and learned many things about Edgar and Shu Shu.

The crown prince was very strong before, but he was just a fallen beast now. Meanwhile, there was a child in the crown princess' belly. So it was not difficult at all to catch them. After catching them, they might be able to become beastmen!

Even if they could not become beastmen . . . . Since they could not recover, it was best that others did not recover either!

Since they had decided on such a plan, they had been tracking Edgar and Shu Shu's whereabouts these days.

These people were just discussing about it, and a goshawk fallen beast suddenly flew over from a distance and then landed in front of Aldous. "The men who followed the crown prince and the crown princess have all gone back, but the crown prince and the crown princess remain in the oasis!

There was still such a good thing? The eyes of these fallen beasts lit up. Just then, they saw an aircraft streaked across the sky and flew away crookedly.

"That's His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince's aircraft." The goshawk fallen beast wrote a sentence on the ground, somewhat stupid. It took them a lot of effort to come up here, and they just happened to run into the crown prince and the crown princess whom were left alone. As a result, before they even started, those two men ran away?

This was so unfair!

These fallen beasts were in a very bad mood. At this moment, they saw the aircraft that had gone away unexpectedly fly back again.

"Let's chase it." Aldous shook his tail and motioned everyone to catch up. But, how could they chase such a fine aircraft? Their feet had all worn down from running, and they still hadn’t caught up with the aircraft, whose flying speed was actually not fast at all.

This aircraft flew crookedly and kept flying back and forth in the sky. They totally couldn’t make out where it was going to go. Sometimes they chased after it with much toil for a while only to see the aircraft above their heads directly turn round and go back. It simply made them feel like spitting out a mouthful of blood.

After doing their utmost to chase, Aldous just wanted to give up. At this moment, the aircraft suddenly stopped in front of them.

Shu Shu had long found that there were fallen beasts following him, and he felt very helpless toward this. He did not know how to deal with the fallen beasts who worshiped him and wanted to please him, so he simply ignored them. He thought they would surely give up after a while, but unexpectedly, these people were surprisingly very tenacious and continued to chase him without stopping.

Running around like this, the bodies of these fallen beasts would be in trouble . . . . Shu Shu thought about going down to have a good chat with them and make them abandon this idea of ​​running after the aircraft.

After the aircraft stopped, Shu Shu shouted at those people, "Hey, you all don't run after me!"

Aldous, leading the fallen beasts, slowly approached the aircraft. He knew that the crown prince and the crown princess certainly didn’t recognize them, so they could completely pretend to be ordinary fallen beasts . . . .

"I'm going to leave this place. You go stay in the oasis, okay? Don't follow me." Shu Shu said again, trying not to look at Aldous as much as possible. He was afraid of snakes after all.

As a result, a wolf-shaped fallen beast beside Aldous suddenly jumped up and pounced on Shu Shu.

"Ah!" Shu Shu cried out in fear. At the same time, Edgar swished his snake tail and struck the huge wolf straight away.

Aldous had already launched an attack at this time and even sprayed his venom directly, but it was blocked before it fell on Shu Shu’s body. He did not know what the hell was blocking the venom.

A group of fallen beasts came over and surrounded the aircraft, wholeheartedly trying to do something big. Edgar looked at them with scorn and excitement in his eyes.
