"Let's... get out of here. Buzz, buzz. "
The sun shone on the ground, causing the crystals on the ground to reflect the dazzling light. The Blood Mist Master and the Skeleton Dragon fledglings were standing in the tree hole, looking at the shining ground.
"A lot of strange things seem to have happened here. First, we were attacked by the seedlings, then it rained crystals... but... we survived! Caw, caw, oh! “
One of the Skeleton Dragon fledglings stood at the entrance of the tree hole and shouted. It seemed to be very excited. It was the Skeleton Dragon that fell from the tree and was saved by the rain of crystals.
"So we must cherish the chance of survival..." The Blood Mist's attention was mainly on the surroundings. It was afraid that the skeleton seedlings would gather again.
"Caw, oh! Let's go! " The Skeleton Dragon fledglings were not that worried. However, they quickly left the tree hole with the Blood Mist and stepped on the ground covered with crystals.
"We don't know where the elder went. Yes, he might be hiding in another tree hole. Or he might not be alive... What are you looking for? "
One of the Skeleton Dragon fledglings noticed that the Blood Mist was rummaging through the crystals on the ground. After it finished rummaging, it took out... a crossbow.
"This is the poacher's." The Blood Mist picked it up and examined it. "It seems that it can still be used. As expected, we must have some weapons to protect ourselves."
"Poacher?" the Skeleton Dragon fledglings asked in confusion.
"That's …" The Blood Mist told the Skeleton Dragon fledglings about the poachers. The fledglings were all astonished.
"Did its blood make the trees' pheromones lose their effectiveness? That's incredible! "the Skeleton Dragon said." Why would it have such an effect? "
"I don't know... Anyway, we must leave quickly. Follow me. Let's go back to the previous... place full of flowers!"
"Caw! We got it! "
With that, the Skeleton Dragon fledglings and the Blood Mist set off on the way back. At the same time, on the other side... the elder was still watching them.
"They want to escape. We must follow them and kill them. No dragon can survive."
As the elder spoke, he crawled quickly among the piles of crystals. He followed the Blood Mist and the rest...
…
"What a pitiful sight …" Blood Mist and the baby were walking in the center of the swamp. This place was also ravaged by the crystal rain. The giant carnivorous plants were covered in cracks and wounds. Liquid that looked like blood was slowly flowing out from them. The huge leaves on both sides were also smashed into pieces by the crystals.
As for the ground, there were fragments of crystals and skeletons everywhere. It seemed that many skeletons had tried to escape the rain of crystals, but they were all smashed into paste.
"Why is it raining like this … Where did these crystals come from?" Blood Mist couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sky was clear and cloudless. There seemed to be no problem.
'Crack …'
Suddenly, the blood mist heard some noises behind it. It immediately picked up its weapon and aimed behind it. It realized that there were some crystals moving about 20 meters away from it. It seemed like something was hiding under them.
"That's definitely a seedling that hasn't died yet!" One of the cubs shouted. "There might be more nearby. We have to leave quickly!"
"… Yeah, let's go." The blood mist did not attack. It turned around and quickly ran away with the cubs. After they had run far away, the elder's body emerged from the pile of crystals.
"The next time you find me, I'll tell you. That's when you die … "
After muttering to itself, the elder followed them again.
Just like that, the blood mist and the skeleton dragon's cubs kept moving forward while the elder continued to follow behind. They soon reached the edge of the swamp.
"It seems like the effect of the rain of crystals isn't large." The blood mist stood at the edge of the swamp and looked out. It saw a vast sea of flowers. There were a few crystal fragments at the border between the sea of flowers and the swamp, but there were none in the sea of flowers.
The rain of crystals only affected the swamp and did not destroy this beautiful place. Seeing this, the blood mist was slightly relieved. Then it said to the cubs, "If you see that tree later, you have to explain to it that I'm not a poacher."
"Caw! We got it! "
The cubs appeared to be very cheerful as they skipped towards the sea of flowers. The blood mist was also preparing to follow behind them …
Suddenly, the blood mist heard a sound behind it. The moment it turned around, it saw … a tailless scorpion pouncing on it from behind.
"Caw? Elder! " The blood mist let out a cry of surprise when the elder pounced on its head. The elder hugged the blood mist's head with its limbs. Then it used its forelimbs to clamp down on the blood mist's head. The hard pincers caused blood to flow out of the blood mist's head.
"Caw? Elder? It's attacking it! " The skeleton dragon's cubs heard the blood mist's scream and looked over. When they realized that it was caused by the elder, they were at a loss. One of the cubs shouted, "Elder! Why are you attacking it! Let go of it! "
"It's going to die, you're going to die too … All of you have to die! Don't run, not a single one of you … "
Before it could finish, the blood mist pulled it off its face and threw it to the ground.
"This thing is so strong …" The blood mist immediately picked up the crossbow and aimed at the elder. "You were the one who did that, weren't you? You wanted to kill us from the beginning! "
"Ga?" The youngsters exclaimed in shock, "Elder, is this true? Why did you do that? "
"You guessed it a long time ago?" The elder looked at the blood mist with the eyeball on its head and said, "It seems that you're quite smart. Then, how did you know?"
"I don't know," the blood mist said. Blood Mist said, "It's just that I've always thought you were strange. You disappeared when the sapling attacked us. That's very suspicious."
"You guessed it?" The elder said. "No matter what, you're all going to die. You're already surrounded by my army."
"… Army?"
When the blood mist asked this question, it suddenly heard a lot of cracking sounds. It found that in the flower field behind it, skeleton seedlings were standing up one after another.
Seeing this, the blood mist said, "It can indeed command these things. That's why these seedlings were very smart … Why did you do that?"
"These plants don't have brains," the elder said. The elder said, "But they have a very simple … neural structure in their bodies. This structure allows them to adhere to bones, crawl, and attack nearby small animals. As long as there are some 'transmitters' in their bodies, they can give more orders to their neural structure. Commanding them is quite simple …"
"But … I can only command these things now. I shouldn't be commanding these things. I should be commanding my population, not these fragile plants." When the elder said these words, his mood slowly became quite angry, "This is all the fault of you dragons!" I'm going to kill all of you! "
After it finished speaking, all the seedlings around it immediately rushed toward the blood mist and the skeleton dragon.
Crack! Seeing this, the Blood Mist immediately pressed down on the bottom of the crossbow's handle. Instantly, a sawtooth blade popped out from the head of the crossbow. The Blood Mist swung the blade violently and pierced through the skull of the nearest Skeleton Sprout.
The pierced seedling kept struggling. The blood mist kicked it away and aimed at the elder. "What happened? I just came here. These little ones know you before. We didn't do anything to harm you! "
"I'm not telling you," the elder said. "Go die."
Whoosh! Blood Mist suddenly pulled the trigger, and a crossbow bolt flew out, hitting the ground … one centimeter in front of the elder.
It wasn't because the blood mist missed, but because the elder moved back a little and dodged the attack.
"What a pity. You'll never hit the target. I can tell where you're going to hit based on your body movements … All your pathetic movements have been exposed! Don't you green little bastards worship your ancestors? Now is the best chance for you to meet your ancestors, hahaha! "
The elder moved further and further away and kept talking, as if trying to disturb the opponent with noise. However, the blood mist and the little ones didn't seem to care so much.
The blood mist waved the sword in its hand and cut down the skeletal seedlings one by one. It realized that as long as the sword hit the largest part of the seedling's body, the seedling wouldn't be able to move.
The three little ones used the wooden sticks and stones they picked up on the ground to beat back the surrounding seedlings. Just as the elder had said, these seedlings were a group of weak plants. Although there were many of them, there weren't as many of them as there had been when they'd attacked the tree. The three little ones and the blood mist could beat them back continuously. Furthermore, the blood mist had the time to attack the elder.
Whoosh! Another arrow flew out and pierced the elder's body. Once again, the elder dodged the arrow by a centimeter.
"That thing can really dodge …" The blood mist looked at the elder and cut down another seedling that was close to it. Then, it started adjusting the crossbow in its hand.
Kacha! The crossbow made a sound. After shooting an arrow, the mechanism in the crossbow would automatically reload another arrow. Therefore, the crossbow could be adjusted to continuous shooting mode. The blood mist believed that continuous shooting would be able to hit the elder. As long as it hit the elder, the elder's control over the plants would disappear.
There were only six arrows left. The blood mist wasn't confident that it could hit the elder, but it still wanted to try …
"Do you still want to shoot? It's useless. Struggle as hard as you can and wait for your energy to be exhausted before being eaten clean by the plants. "
Seeing the blood mist raise its crossbow again, the elder immediately taunted it, but the blood mist didn't respond. It suddenly pulled the trigger … Instantly, six crossbow bolts flew out one after another …
