Comprehension (Part 1)

Sunlight pierced the thin mist, rescuing Whispering Forest from its dark dampness.

Within the endless expanse of dark green forest.

A small flying vehicle, shaped like a triangular disc, flew forward with faint transparent light flames spraying from its rear.

It was not moving quickly, just fast enough for the people aboard to clearly see their surroundings.

The entire vehicle resembled a thin triangular sheet, its surface bright silver like a mirror, reflecting the dense trees and vegetation around it.

That reflection instead gave it excellent concealment.

Wei He sat in the driver's seat, carefully observing everything around him.

Whether it was the plants, or the startled deer, squirrels, and rabbits.

Or the venomous insects awakened from their slumber by the flying vehicle—none of them were the targets he sought.

This planet concealed some sort of secret.

A secret capable of forcibly suppressing Star Abyss's contaminating power.

For this inspection, Wei He had brought a small experimental vial.

And now, he was looking for places where it could be used.

Around the flying vehicle, the other five members of the armored team followed vigilantly as guards, ready for any trouble that might arise.

Although Wei He was an Illumination and far stronger than the five of them, they were just right for handling minor nuisances.

Before long, Wei He's eyes suddenly lit up, and he brought the vehicle to a stop.

He slowly lowered it, parking beside the roots of a massive tree by the roadside.

Then he stepped out of the vehicle and stood before a patch of wildly overgrown green shrubs.

Once he had stopped, Wei He took a tiny transparent vial from his pocket.

If anyone else saw someone carrying such a thing while out and about, they might have assumed it was perfume or mosquito repellent.
