Chapter 99: Aerial Combat
The pterosaur had not expected an additional gain. After seizing its prey, it began a rapid ascent.
The fierce wind howled past, and the intense air pressure made Luo Wen’s eyes feel extremely uncomfortable, impairing his vision. His eyes started secreting fluid, forming a thin membrane-like covering.
This was a skill Luo Wen had acquired from the Submersible Bug. Unexpectedly, it proved not only effective underwater but also quite useful in the sky.
Regaining his ability to see, Luo Wen noticed the ground rapidly receding until it faded beyond his vision, becoming a blur. This indicated that he had been carried to at least three hundred meters above the ground, and the pterosaur showed no sign of stopping as it continued to ascend.
Since becoming an insect, Luo Wen had only suffered during the initial hatching phase. Once the Brood Nest was established, he had gradually begun living a life akin to a lord. If he hadn’t been so picky himself, he could have even had dedicated bugs feeding him.
This perilous situation was something Luo Wen hadn’t encountered in a long time.
Adding to his troubles, he had only recently awakened, his mind was still groggy, and his stomach was yet to be filled. Surrounded by strange creatures, he felt as though he were in a dream—a surreal and unreal experience.
Yet, the smooth fur beneath his hands, the hard claws gripping him, and the occasional cheerful chirps from the creature above kept pulling Luo Wen back to reality.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Luo Wen realized he could no longer discern his altitude. White clouds surrounded him, and the temperature had dropped sharply, though the cold didn’t pose much of a threat to him.
