In the night sky, the starlight shone on the ancient buildings on the ground. This used to be a prosperous country, but now there were only broken ruins left.
A creature called the Scholar walked under the starry sky, looking at the road in front of it.
There were many square and tent-shaped stone buildings on both sides of the road, but they were all full of cracks, and there were many plants growing on them.
These buildings were very old, but they still showed their former … glory.
This was a city of Skeletal Dragons. It used to belong to the Skeletal Dragons, but in various events, the Skeletal Dragons here all disappeared, leaving only ruins.
The Scholar had lived here for many days and nights. It had set up its residence in a house and used some of the food found nearby to sustain itself.
While it was sustaining itself, it would often wander around the ruins, studying the past life of these Skeletal Dragons.
At first, it stayed here because it could not find a way to leave this Skeletal Dragon Island, but after a long time, the Scholar found that there were many interesting things here. It would not be a problem to study here for decades.
However, the Scholar did not want to stay here for so long because it had other places to explore, but it also wanted to study this place and understand the secrets here.
So, it was now studying things here as fast as it could …
Now, the Scholar came in front of a resident's house.
"I should be able to find something there, I heard some sounds recently …" The Scholar looked at the cracked stone door of the house, its body still emitting the fluorescence of the fungus. This allowed it to see the environment clearly in the dark.
But now, it was not necessary. Because tonight's starry sky was so bright. Therefore, the light of the fungus on its body only made the Scholar more conspicuous in this ruin, and it did not help the Scholar's vision.
The Scholar had encountered many creatures here, such as small groups of pygmies, large carnivorous dinosaurs, giant flying creatures, and some … sea monsters that climbed up from the sea to the land to reproduce.
Although they were scattered and rarely seen, every single one of them was very threatening. The Scholar had to be careful at all times.
Recently, the scholars had become interested in another new type of creature.
"There are traces left behind by them …" With the light passing through the gaps, the Scholar could see the decorations in the room. Common things like stools and chairs were scattered to one side, and there was a skeleton of a Skeletal Dragon lying on the ground.
It seemed that these things had been there for a long time, except for the skeleton.
Because there were still pieces of flesh on it, and there were bloodstains on the ground, the scholar was certain that … this skeleton had only recently appeared here.
This door had been opened recently, but it was closed again. She pretended that she had never been pushed before.
Thinking of this, the scholar forcefully pushed the stone door of the entrance. These old stone doors were usually quite tight and required a lot of strength to push them open, but this one was easily pushed open by the Scholar.
The scenery inside was displayed in front of it, and the smell of blood rushed to its face.
"How many is this …"
The scholar looked at the skeleton inside and carefully observed its structure.
These White Skeletal Dragons were the creatures it was interested in … Recently, the scholars discovered that they had appeared here, and they generally referred to them as … 'Crazy White Skeletal Dragons'.
They could also be called Mad Skeletal Dragons. They were a special kind of Skeletal Dragon. According to the scholar's observation of their behavior and language, the scholar was able to confirm that they were a kind of primitive Skeletal Dragon.
The scholar understood the history of the White Skeletal Dragon. This kind of creature originated from its creator. After the creator created the Subspecies, he found that this kind of creature was not 'loyal' to him.
Therefore, the creator created a kind of individualized creature. The difference between individualized creatures and subspecies was that the entire group would not instantly rebel against him because of a single thought.
The creator created the White Skeletal Dragon as his worshippers. In fact, he did not create them, but used some special viruses to make primitive creatures evolve.
However, the Subspecies continued to influence the White Skeletal Dragon created by the creator. Their actions caused some of the White Skeletal Dragons to go crazy, and this kind of White Skeletal Dragon later lived on the dinosaur continent.
This kind of White Skeletal Dragon was not so 'developed', and they still maintained a very primitive state of life. They lived in very small groups scattered all over the place, and they had never developed.
This group of White Skeletal Dragons had a set of relatively special living habits, and their way of speaking was also different.
The scholar originally thought that this kind of White Skeletal Dragon had completely disappeared in the past, but he did not expect that they would appear in a place like this.
The skeleton in this room belonged to a Mad Skeletal Dragon. Judging from the traces and minced meat on the skeleton, it was obviously made by a dwarf. Dwarves also lived in small groups here. It was said that there were originally many dwarves living here, but due to the scarcity of food, the large number of dwarves living here slowly decreased and soon became scattered.
Now, only a few small groups lived here, but they were still very aggressive. They could gnaw a White Skeletal Dragon until only the bones were left.
The dwarves also knew how to make traps.
The scholar found that there were many small things crawling on the skeleton. These things were called 'shrieking worms'. If approached, they would make a very loud sound.
The dwarves deliberately left some minced meat and did not finish it, and then waited for a creature to approach the skeleton and make a sound …
However, the scholar would not go near the skeleton. After looking at it for a while, the scholar turned and walked to the other side, toward a staircase that led to the second floor of the room.
If the appearance of these Mad Skeletal Dragons here was strange, what they were doing was even stranger.
There was nothing in the room on the second floor, only some scattered debris. It was impossible to tell what they were originally, except for one thing. This thing was still very intact.
The scholar picked up this thing. It was a stone slab, and a lot of words were written on it.
The scholar remembered that these primitive White Skeletal Dragons could not write, but they did write something on this stone slab in the White Skeletal Dragon language. The words written on it were …
"We must gather. The moment of being summoned has come. Soon, a new object will descend, and we will all be saved by it."
It seemed that these White Skeletal Dragons were carrying out some kind of religious activity. The scholar thought that they might have a new belief in something, and it was necessary for them to come to this island to carry out this activity.
However, these White Skeletal Dragons did not appear in large numbers. According to their living habits, they should be moving in groups, but they only appeared alone, and placed these stone slabs with the words written on them in each building.
So far, the scholar had found many stone slabs, and the words on each stone slab were almost the same. These White Skeletal Dragons seemed to be placing stone slabs everywhere.
However, the scholar recently discovered that these stone slabs were not just ordinary stone slabs.
Smack! The scholar picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard on one of the stone slabs. The stone slab immediately shattered, and among the fragments, something sparkling appeared.
"These are crystals." When the scholar reached out and touched these sparkling fragments, it suddenly felt like an electric shock, but this feeling quickly disappeared.
Previously, the scholar accidentally broke the first stone slab and found these things, but at that time, it did not carefully study these crystals. Now, it wanted to take a closer look at them.
After the electric shock disappeared, it was replaced by another feeling. When the Scholar Scholar held most of the fragments in his hand, he could feel something strange coming from somewhere else. Was it … a location?
Yes, this feeling was telling the scholar that there was something not far away from here at that location.
The scholar speculated that it was the location of another stone slab.
This kind of crystal might be the one in the underground cave of the Standing Scorpion that was related to brainwaves. They might be like … a network, connected to each other.
When the scholar held this crystal, it also felt this connection.
But what did this connection mean? The scholar carefully felt it and found that the skeletal dragon did not place the stone slabs randomly. They formed a certain pattern.
The scholar found that they did not place these things properly. It could feel that some of the stone slabs were missing, as if the slabs needed to be arranged into a certain shape, and now a few of them were missing …
What would happen after the slabs were arranged properly? Or could it be that because the scholar broke some of them, they could not be arranged properly?
Either way, as long as it had these fragments, it should be able to know the skeletal dragon's movements.
The scholar collected the crystal fragments and then left the room. Under the night sky, it returned to its residence.
Just like that, a day passed. When the next night came, the scholar held the fragments in its hand.
"They're coming again …"
Through the fragments, the scholar could feel that an object was moving quickly and was getting closer and closer to it.
"This time … Where will it be placed?"
The scholar stayed in its house and carefully felt. It checked the position of the other stone slabs again. The scholar did not know what shape they would be placed in, but if they were placed in a simple circle, then the next place to place the slabs would be … right here.
"Caw!"
Just as the scholar had this idea, it heard the skeletal dragon's cry from outside. It poked its head out of the window and saw a skeletal dragon holding a stone slab standing under its house.
This skeletal dragon did not seem to know that there was such a thing as a door. It climbed up the wall directly …
