"What … is this place? Gah! The smell is terrible! "
The legendary Blood Mist Master and the three young Skeleton Dragons had left the underground cave and arrived at a new place. At least, it was new to the Blood Mist.
This was a vast swamp, and the moist ground was covered with small green and brown plants. However, there were also huge plants that were about ten meters tall scattered all over the place.
Beside each large plant was a pile of bones. From the shape, they seemed to be dinosaur bones.
"This place is called the Dragon Bone Swamp," a young Skeleton Dragon said. A young Skeleton Dragon said, "You've seen why it's called that. Look, there are so many bones here."
"I saw it." The Blood Mist nodded and said, "But I want to know why there are so many bones here. Also, is the elder you're looking for here?"
"Do you see that?" A young Skeleton Dragon pointed at a tall plant and said, "Some flying animals will feed other animals to those plants. In the end, the bones of those animals will appear at the bottom of the plant. They should have been digested. The elder … lives here."
"These are carnivorous plants?" The Blood Mist was shocked. "Isn't that very dangerous?"
"They won't eat us," the young Skeleton Dragon said. "But there are other dangers here. We have to move forward carefully …"
As they spoke, the young Skeleton Dragons walked forward. The Blood Mist looked around for a few seconds and then followed them …
As they walked, the Blood Mist did not stop looking around. The atmosphere here was very … strange. There was always a stench in the air. There were piles of bones under every plant, and countless insects were flying around. The Blood Mist thought that any normal dragon would be terrified here.
Gah …
Suddenly, the Blood Mist heard a sound. It turned around and saw an unbelievable scene. Under a plant 20 meters away … One of the skeletons … moved.
The skeleton stood up shakily and walked around with its four limbs. This movement made the skeleton keep making cracking sounds.
"That … What's going on?" The Blood Mist Master had seen many monsters in the dream, but it realized that it seemed to have become … much more timid in reality. When it saw the skeleton, it immediately let out a frightened cry.
However, the young Skeleton Dragons were much calmer. One of them said, "That's a seedling of a plant. It just stood up. Don't worry about it. "
"Seedling?" The Blood Mist was confused. "Aren't those bones?"
"No," the young Skeleton Dragon said. "Those carnivorous plants will plant their seeds in the bones. Let the seedlings absorb the bone marrow and grow. When they grow to a certain extent, they will move on their own. Some are like the Butternut Tree. They will stick some of the surrounding bones to themselves and 'wear' those bones to move. Yes, just like what you see now. "
Blood Mist was shocked when he heard that. He said, "You guys have a lot of … moving plants here."
"Don't you have plants that can move?" The Skeleton Dragon said, "That's really a boring place. But I heard that there are a lot of stone houses, right?"
"Rocks are not as interesting as plants that can move," the fog said. "But why do these plants need to stick to their bones to walk?"
"It is said that it is to go further away from the mother body. This is to prevent them from snatching each other's prey and nutrients after they grow. Look, the plants here are all spaced apart from each other. " The cub said, "I also heard that they are a subspecies of the Cashew tree, but they don't move after they grow up. They are very agile when they are still seedlings."
"Yes! At this time, not only will they run away, they will also … chase after us! "
Hearing the young Skeleton Dragon's exclamation, the bloody mist also saw that the … skeleton sapling was running towards them at a very fast speed.
"What's wrong with it?" Blood Mist quickly asked. However, it realized that its cubs had already run away.
Blood Mist immediately chased after the cubs and asked, "Is it going to attack us? Why are you running so fast?! "
"That kind of seedling will hunt nearby small animals. That's why they wear skeletons! Caw! They used the claws and teeth on their skeletons to tear their prey apart! In the past, seedlings that had just stood up took a long time to learn how to run! How did this one learn how to run so fast?! "
The young Skeleton Dragons spoke as they ran. Blood Mist turned to look at the seedling. It was getting further and further away, and still could not catch up with them.
However, Blood Mist also realized that there was more than one skeleton sapling chasing after them. The piles of skeletons under the plants around them were "ready to move." The skeletons stood up one by one and started chasing after them.
"If this continues, more and more will be attracted!" Blood Mist said, "Where are we going?"
"To the Elder. He will expel these seedlings! Yes, we ran there last time too! "
"…" Blood Mist had no choice but to run after them after hearing their words. As they ran, more and more seedlings followed them. However, these seedlings were not fast. Some of them even fell down while running. It was quite easy for them to run in …
Soon, Blood Mist and the young Skeleton Dragons reached the depths of the swamp. Blood Mist saw … a very special plant.
This plant was different from other carnivorous plants. It looked like the kind of tree that the Skeleton Dragons lived in. It had a thick trunk and a large number of twisted branches. It stood alone in the swamp. The nearest plants around it were more than 100 meters away from it, as if they were avoiding it.
"That is … the Elder's residence!"
The young Skeleton Dragons sped up. When they were within 100 meters of the Elder's tree, Blood Mist was surprised to find that the seedlings had all dispersed. They did not chase after them.
Was there some kind of medicine here that could expel them? Blood Mist lowered its head and looked at the ground. The ground here was covered with brown moss. It was not much different from before.
"Caw, I'm not chasing anymore." The young Skeleton Dragons stopped and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.
"Who is the Elder? Could it be that tree? " Blood Mist asked behind them. The experience of being attacked by the tree made it slightly afraid of trees.
"No, it's a bug," said one of the young Skeleton Dragons.
"… Bug?"
"That's right. We met it during our last adventure. It said that it's living in seclusion and is hiding in this place."
"It seems to call itself Monte or something. It knows a lot of things, so we want it to see this egg … It might know it too."
