"Wahhhh!"
Flames, darkness, and cheers! A large group of short creatures were gathered around the special stone slabs they had collected. They had lit many bonfires on the ground and were celebrating around the burning bones.
But why are they celebrating? Was it because he had defeated the White Skeleton Dragon? Because he found the slate? Or perhaps it was because of some other reason …
All in all, the dwarves were quite excited. They cut the skeletal dragons that they had slain in the battle into pieces and used sharp bones to barbecue them next to the fire. The aroma of barbecued meat and smoke filled the air, making the scholars in the building feel a little hungry.
"Is it safe now?" The Scholar looked at the delicious gnome barbecue in front of her and then looked at the sky. She didn't know why, but after the gnomes collected the stone slabs, they all flew away.
"Don't you know the current situation? Random monsters? "The imam said," The reason those standing scorpions left is because their plan has been achieved. "
"Initially, the reason Scorpion came here was to help the White Skeleton Dragons so that their plan could be completed smoothly. However, because of your actions, they did not complete the plan …" the imam said, "However, when they were trying to capture you, they suddenly realized that the dwarf had placed the slates together. The slates achieved the desired effect, so they left. However, they should still be nearby to ensure that the plan continues as usual."
The Scholar asked, "Are you saying that the effect of stacking these slabs together is the same as when we placed them in a circle?"
"The effect of those crystals is very wondrous," the imam said. "I don't know their overall characteristics either. But that is indeed the case now, and because they are all piled up together, the one you destroyed before is meaningless. "
The Scholar was shocked. "Then wouldn't all the previous efforts have been for nothing?"
"No …" The imam said, "The other reason why they were placed in a circle was because they could use the wide circle to detect the surrounding environment. Now that we're piled up together, we can still transmit some kind of information, but the detection range has been greatly reduced. We're safe here. "
"Really? But … "The Scholar looked at the pile of stone slabs and said," Should we continue to stop them? "
"The reason I asked you to destroy the stone slab was to prevent them from detecting us." The imam said, "The plan to stop them from sending messages is secondary. Now, even if they can gather the slate and send messages, it's meaningless because they lack the key item."
The Scholar was puzzled. "What is the key object?"
The imam said, "It's … me."
Next, the imam briefly told the scholar about the crystallized pyramid created by the brain-creating monster. The plan to create a brain monster did require several steps to be completed. The pyramid and the stone slab needed to work together to send a message.
As for the pyramid, it failed because it was launched prematurely by the immortal. Therefore, there was no point in gathering the stone slabs.
"Let's continue to wait." The Imam said, "After I recover, I can summon my machines here. We can easily defeat them and destroy all the stone slabs."
"But …" The Scholar asked, "You didn't get hurt on the way here, did you? Why didn't you call for an aircraft at that time? "
"I've already called them by then, but they haven't arrived yet." The imam said, "Maybe I lost control for some reason. No matter what, I'll be able to call for more aircraft soon. For now, we just need to wait …"
Wait … Just as the imam said, the Scholar and the imam continued to hide in the dry grass, waiting for the stars to slowly pass by. The light of day illuminated the skeleton dragon ruins.
The gnomes had eaten their fill for the night, but they did not drink enough. Almost all of them left the streets. They ran to the jungle outside the ruins to find water to drink.
The sea was nearby, but there was no fresh water. Therefore, the gnomes had to run far to get water to drink. Therefore, they only left five guards to guard the stone slabs.
These stone slabs did not seem to be that important to them. The guards played with each other near the stone slabs. They did not seem to care about the stone slabs that much.
Perhaps the stone slabs did not affect them that much? The Scholar remembered the imam saying that the brain-creating monster could not control the gnomes. However, it did see the brain-creating monster use its brainwaves to disperse the gnomes.
Perhaps … it could only cause some effect, but it could not control the gnomes like it did the skeleton dragon.
"Shouldn't we do something now?"
The gnomes looked quite scary when they were densely packed together. However, with only five of them, they did not seem to be a threat at all. Because they were too short, and the Scholar was sure that they had thrown away all the bone bombs.
"Wait for me to recover," the imam said. "Moreover, Li Xie is still nearby."
"Is that so …" Although the Scholar had only been lying there for a long time and wanted to move, it did not do so since the imam said so.
They continued to wait, looking outside and nothing happened … The Scholar felt more and more sleepy, almost falling asleep …
"Woah!"
A sudden scream woke the Scholar who almost fell asleep. It saw that the gnomes guarding the stone slabs were gone. It looked a little further and found that the gnomes were running wildly on the road … as if they were running away from something.
"What happened?" Looking at the situation in front of it, the Scholar immediately asked the imam.
"… Imam?"
However, the Scholar did not get a reply. It suddenly realized that the imam was not beside it … Did he leave when it was about to fall asleep? But why did he do that?
"Quickly hide in here!" At this time, the Scholar heard the imam's voice. It found that the imam's original position had sunk in a little. It seemed that the imam had crawled deeper into the haystack.
"Why?"
"That might be their purpose."
Hearing the imam's words, the Scholar asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"Rumble …" Before the imam could answer, the Scholar heard a sound coming from outside. It saw a huge, spider-like creature crawling to the side of the stone slabs on the ground, lying on the stone slabs and making chewing sounds.
The Scholar was surprised. "It's … eating the stone slabs?"
"As expected …" The imam said. "Because they can't find me, they plan to use something else as a replacement … This creature is to replace me as the 'Master' of Yat."
