"… Are they not leaving anymore?"
"I don't think so." "Huh?"
"Where did the elder run off to?"
"I don't know …"
This was the kingdom of the Skeleton Dragons. In a swamp deep in a canyon, the Blood Mist and three Skeleton Dragon fledglings were sitting on a thick branch.
Although the sun was high in the sky, they could not move. The main reason was that a large number of … saplings had gathered under the tree.
It seemed that due to the sudden appearance of the poacher, the saplings were able to get close to the tree for some reason. Therefore, all the saplings gathered around the tree.
The poacher had already been eaten clean by the saplings. Its skeleton had also been torn apart by the saplings. Its head, claws, and feet were all taken by different saplings as their own body parts.
The saplings were supposed to disperse during the day, but because of that incident, they did not disperse. Instead, they turned to attack the Blood Mist and the other dragons in the tree hole.
The Blood Mist and the three Skeleton Dragon fledglings climbed up the tree in a hurry. Although the saplings could get close to the tree, they were still resistant to touching it. Therefore, they did not climb up the tree.
However, they did not leave either. They surrounded the tree and waited. This made the Blood Mist feel rather … troubled.
Another troubling thing was that the elder was missing. When the Blood Mist and the Skeleton Dragon fledglings fled together, they did not see the elder. They did not know where it went.
It should not have been eaten by the skeleton saplings because the Blood Mist had been paying attention to the saplings. It did not notice where they were gathering. If there was food, they would definitely gather there.
"Caw … What should we do now?" The Blood Mist looked at the large group of saplings below and said, "We can't leave like this."
"They should be able to leave. They will get hungry if they stay there for too long." One of the Skeleton Dragon fledglings said, "But we don't know where the elder went … Is it still alive?"
"It should be … Caw! Look! " One of the Skeleton Dragon fledglings suddenly screamed. It pointed down and saw a sapling starting to do strange things.
The sapling pierced some sharp bones on the bark. Then, it climbed up the tree by clinging to the bones as if it was climbing a ladder.
"They know how to do this!" The Blood Mist was shocked. "How can they be so smart?"
In addition, it also saw some seedlings. These seedlings used the mud in the swamp to stick to the bark and then climbed up. It seemed that as long as he did not come into direct contact with the bark, there would be no problem. This made the blood mist quite shocked.
"Caw! They're coming! "Hearing the cries of the baby Skeleton Dragon, the Blood Mist immediately said," Don't be afraid, leave it to me! "
Blood Mist broke off a long branch from the side. When one of the saplings climbed higher, it suddenly knocked it down.
"Caw! Amazing! We want to fight too! " The baby Skeleton Dragon picked up a branch like the Bloody Mist did. At this moment, more and more seedlings were climbing up from below.
"They … seem to be helping each other!"
The blood mist saw that a few seedlings were painting mud and making bone ladders. They did not climb on their own. Instead, they were helping their companions to climb up. This strange behavior made the blood mist feel more and more amazed, but it still waved its branches forcefully, beating down every single seedling that climbed up.
"More and more of them!" A large number of saplings continued to climb up the tree. Although it was easy at first, it slowly became more and more difficult.
…
"It seems that they can't hold on any longer."
At this moment, more than a hundred meters away from the tree, the creature called Elder was looking at the dragons that were trying their best to beat the skeleton seedlings on the tree.
"They are dying. What pitiful creatures … But it can't be helped." It seemed to be talking to itself. The Elder was speaking in a language that was neither Emerald Dragon nor Skeleton Dragon, "They must die, especially the green one. Speed up the attack …"
The moment it finished speaking, the skeletal saplings moved even faster.
"Caw! They're climbing up! " The blood mist was trying its best to wave the branches in its hands, but for every one that was knocked down, two more would rush up. The skeleton seedlings were endless.
"Caw!" Suddenly, a baby Skeleton Dragon beside it screamed. Its branches were pulled by several skeleton seedlings, so the baby Skeleton Dragon's entire body was pulled down by the seedlings. When it fell to the bottom of the tree, countless seedlings immediately surrounded it.
"Caw — No!" The other two baby Skeleton Dragons also screamed. They immediately got up and were about to jump down, but the blood mist immediately pulled one of them back and said, "Wait! You can't go to your deaths … "
Boom —!!!
The baby Skeleton Dragon was struggling to break free from the blood mist. But at the same time, a violent roar suddenly sounded like an explosion in the sky.
The originally clear sky was covered by boundless dark clouds at some point in time. The rumbling of thunder reverberated in the clouds, and then … countless substances fell from the sky.
"That's …" Even though the situation was tense, the blood mist could not help but be attracted by the scene in the sky, because the things that fell were not rain. Instead, they were small, shining … crystals.
Smack!
The first crystal smashed into the blood mist's face, causing it to cover its face with its hands in pain.
At the same time, it also saw … more crystals falling around, falling into the huge group of skeleton seedlings under the tree.
In an instant, countless crackling sounds rang out. The skeletal saplings trembled under the impact of the crystals. The bones they wore didn't seem to be sturdy enough and soon burst apart, revealing the green and tender plant structure inside.
The skeleton seedlings also lost the idea of attacking at this time. They immediately spread out, looking for any place to hide from the crystals.
Seeing that the seedlings had scattered, the blood mist immediately jumped down from the tree and picked up the Skeleton Dragon baby that had just fallen … Although it was injured all over, it was still alive. The blood mist quickly brought it back to the tree hole.
The other two baby Skeleton Dragons also jumped down from the tree and entered the tree hole. They did not say anything, but all huddled in the safest corner of the tree hole. They listened to the continuous crackling sounds outside and prayed that they could still survive in the future …
Slowly … the crackling sounds stopped.
The blood mist looked out of the hole and found that the rain of crystals seemed to have stopped. The sun once again lit up the ground outside, and the ground was almost … covered with broken crystals. The skeleton seedlings that had been smashed by the crystals were also mixed in.
"A miracle happened, but they won't be saved."
The creature called Elder … was not smashed by the crystals. It was still looking at the hole from afar.
