Whoosh!
An arrow flew from afar and pierced into the ground.
It was the blood mist's … head. That was what happened the second before the caterpillar picked it up.
The arrow made the caterpillar stop in its tracks. It turned in the direction where the arrow came from. All the surrounding worms that were eating cans did the same.
Although the blood mist could not turn its head, it tried its best to look in that direction. It could barely see a few … gray figures running towards it.
"Those are … Skeleton Dragons?"
As the grey silhouettes got closer, the Blood Mist could finally see them clearly. There were a total of six Skeleton Dragons. They were all wearing light armor and holding cylindrical weapons in their hands as they ran towards the Blood Mist.
"Are the Skeleton Dragons here to deal with them?" The blood mist immediately had this idea. Ten caterpillars immediately stood in front of the 'mudskipper' that was still eating cans and spat out a flash of … liquid at the Skeleton Dragons.
The six Skeleton Dragons immediately dodged. One of them leaped high and aimed the cylinder in its hand at the caterpillars.
Whoosh! An arrow shot out of the cylinder and instantly pierced the head of a caterpillar. The caterpillar immediately fell to the ground and kept struggling on the ground.
"Caw!" The Skeleton Dragon in the air shouted. The other five Skeleton Dragons raised their weapons and shot at the same time. After the sound of arrows flying through the air, another five caterpillars … fell to the ground at the same time.
The caterpillars seemed to be panicking. They kept shooting at the Skeleton Dragons around them, but they did not seem to be cooperating. Every attack was easily dodged by the Skeleton Dragons. And every time the Skeleton Dragons attacked, they could knock down a caterpillar.
Soon, the ten caterpillars here fell to the ground because their heads were penetrated. Only one creature was left … It was the creature that had turned into a mudskipper after eating the cans … It was still eating the cans, as if what was happening around it had nothing to do with it.
However, the Skeleton Dragons did not seem to intend to let it go. One of them aimed at the mudskipper's head and shot an arrow.
'Whoosh!' Arrows were shot out at high speed. But at the moment when it was about to hit the target, the arrow suddenly seemed to hit something and was bounced off.
"Is there something blocking it?" Although the Blood Mist didn't see anything, the arrows flew away. The Skeleton Dragons were also surprised, and they continued to shoot … However, every arrow that came within ten centimeters of the Mudskipper Fish would be deflected.
At this moment, Mudskipper no longer ate canned food. It raised its head and looked around, focusing its attention on a Skeleton Dragon. At the same time, all the caterpillars in the area were rushing over.
"Ga ga ga!" The Humerus Dragons realized that the situation was not good. The Humerus Dragon that was in charge of commanding shouted, and the surrounding Humerus Dragons immediately began to move.
Two Skeleton Dragons ran to the caterpillar on the ground and cut off a soft thorn. The other two picked up some crystals from the ground … and the other two picked up some canned food.
"… Quack?" The two Skeleton Dragons holding the canned food noticed the blood mist. The Blood Mist immediately tried to twist its head with all its might and made some noises.
Seeming to have noticed something strange about the blood mist, one of the Skeleton Dragons picked up the blood mist's condensed head. Then the Skeleton Dragon in the lead shouted, and all the Skeleton Dragons present immediately leaped into the air.
They seemed to be equipped with some kind of … flying device on their backs. The blood mist felt that it was being grabbed by the Skeleton Dragons and was flying quickly in the air. The large group of caterpillars on the ground and on the bridge looked over, but they didn't seem to be able to do anything to the flying target, so they didn't chase after it.
The six Skeleton Dragons quickly flew to the top of the cave. They flew into a narrow cave with the blood mist. After entering the cave, the Skeleton Dragons turned off the flying device and ran quickly into the depths of the cave.
After running for about a few hundred seconds and passing through several forks, they stopped.
"Ga! Ga ga! " The Skeleton Dragons formed a circle and piled up the things they had taken … including the blood mist.
This made the blood mist feel that this group of Skeleton Dragons was a group of … thieves who were now "dividing up" the stolen goods, but it seemed to be the case.
The Skeleton Dragons paid the most attention to the blood mist because it looked much more special than the other things. They looked at it for a while, and the Skeleton Dragon that seemed to be the captain took out a small … bottle from its armor, which was filled with a transparent liquid.
The Skeleton Dragon poured the liquid on the blood mist's head. After a while … the blood mist suddenly felt that the crystallization that had frozen it began to melt.
"Ga!" The blood mist was very excited, which meant that it was possible to recover. So, it immediately said to the Skeleton Dragons, "Thank you so much! Do you have a way to recover me? "
"Ga?" The blood mist's words shocked the Skeleton Dragons. One of them asked in surprise in the Emerald Dragon Language, "You're … alive?"
"Ga? You don't know that I'm alive? Then why did you … defrost me? "said the blood mist." Whatever, there should be a way to recover me, right? "
"I just think that you're very strange … so I wanted to see how you became like this." The Skeleton Dragon captain said, "We haven't seen such a situation before."
"I am …" Sanguine Mist thought for a moment and told the Skeleton Dragons what had happened. The Skeleton Dragons were very surprised when they heard the story. The captain said to Sanguine Mist, "You must have been blessed by the pompom."
"But … if you haven't seen such a situation before …" said the blood mist with disappointment, "… does that mean that you can't heal me?"
"Not necessarily," said the captain. "You can go to … Yuan Bai."
"Who is that?" asked the blood mist in confusion.
"It's a Cashew Tree that lives in the Dense Vine Forest. It's very good at … regeneration. That's also where our healers gather," said the Skeleton Dragons. "If our warriors have any broken limbs or similar conditions, they can heal them … but for now, they haven't seen a situation like yours, so they might not be able to …"
"Ga! No matter what, there's hope! "said the blood mist excitedly." Can you take me there? "
"Of course …" said the Skeleton Dragon captain. "I believe they would like to meet a dragon with a unique condition like yours."
"Ga! Thank you so much … "said the blood mist." Speaking of which, what are you doing here? "
"You should have seen it earlier …" said the captain. "We're dealing with this group of … crystallized monsters."
"Do you know them well?" asked the blood mist. "This place is quite deep underground, and you managed to find it …"
"Not really," said the captain. "But we do know part of it. For example, all their bases are connected to caves, and this place we're in now is one of them."
"This group of crystallized monsters has only appeared recently …" Another Skeleton Dragon said, "They have been moving around underground. Occasionally, they would come to the surface and place some explosives that can crystallize the surroundings, or crystallize some creatures. We noticed them a long time ago. At first, they didn't cause any big problems …"
"But recently, they've started to crystallize the underground structure on a large scale, causing the geology to become extremely unstable. At any time … there might be an earthquake or something like that. Furthermore, their attacks on creatures have become more frequent. They've captured a large number of creatures, crystallized some of them, and turned some of them into … canned meat, just like what you saw."
"You know quite a lot about them," the blood mist said. "So, you want to stop them? Why don't you have a large army to destroy them but only let a few dragons in here? "
"We're still in the detection phase. There's no war yet," said the captain. The captain said, "In the process of investigating this place, we discovered more things. Previously, we thought that the soft caterpillars were the culprit. However, we noticed another creature here. It was the creature that ate the canned food earlier. It has the ability to command other caterpillars."
"You mean that Mudskipper?" asked the blood mist. "What is it?"
"It's not a Mudskipper …" Humerus said. "We've been to a base before we came here, and we've seen this kind of creature there. Its form changes according to the food it eats. It will transform into the combined form of the food it eats before …"
"The one we encountered earlier did not have the special ability to block arrows," the captain said. "But this one does. Perhaps … there's something different between them."
"These creatures are really strange …" said the blood mist. "What do you plan to do?"
"We can only get rid of them. They have no intention of communicating at all … This was proven a long time ago when they first appeared," the captain said. "Anyway, for now, we should …"
"Gulp …"
Before the captain could finish, a sound came from afar. The humerus dragons looked in that direction and saw … the Mudskipper appear in the tunnel. Behind it was a large group of caterpillars.
"Ga!" The humerus dragons raised their weapons, but before they could do anything …
"Listen … gulp … speak …"
A sound came from the Mudskipper's mouth. It was using the Emerald Dragon's language.
"You … use … gulp … sounds to communicate?" It did not seem to be very familiar with its speech. It was stuttering, and there were some strange sounds mixed in. It sounded like bubbles.
"You can communicate with us?" Skeleton Dragon's captain immediately asked, "Who exactly are you …?"
