The initial battle only lasted for a short while. After being ambushed by Standing Scorpion and successfully counterattacking, every emerald dragon seemed to be very excited. They believed that they had won!
The morale of the emerald dragons was extremely high. They raised their weapons and roared excitedly. Under Black Pepper's command, the emerald dragons began to attack the pyramid!
"Ohhhh! Kill them all! " The emerald dragons were extremely excited. They ran wildly in the direction of the map. Even when they saw some small wild dinosaurs, the emerald dragons could not help but go up and poke them a few times.
Lin also charged along with them. It was an interesting phenomenon. The emerald dragons were not so excited because of the previous small victory. Lin guessed that it was because they had been too depressed all this time.
These emerald dragons' daily lives were oppressed. The lower level of the emerald dragons lived day and night without food. Although the ordinary level of the emerald dragons had a better life, they still had to put in all their effort to live. They had to constantly produce things to obtain resources, or use labor to obtain resources.
If they were like this for a long time, their thoughts would be suppressed for a long time. Some of the secretions in their brains would not be discharged for a long time, causing their bodies to slowly deteriorate. When the pressure accumulated to the limit, they would commit suicide.
However, there was only one way to release all this, and that was through battle.
Generally speaking, making one's thoughts happy was also a way to reconcile them. However, the most direct way to do this was through battle, or violence. By using all one's strength to destroy things, one's long-suppressed thoughts would obtain an extremely comfortable release! It was like expelling all the waste in one's body!
These Emerald Dragons, who had been suppressing themselves for a long time, had successfully defeated Li Xie's sneak attack. Their suppressed thoughts were released at this moment, so they became extremely excited. Many Emerald Dragons in the center of the team also felt very excited after seeing their companions kill Li Xie even though they did not directly fight.
Lin could see some of Susumi's regular soldiers among them. They did not seem as excited. After all, these soldiers did not live oppressive lives and often participated in activities such as hunting.
Perhaps it was because the emerald dragons became excited that Black Pepper gave the order to attack.
It was not wise to attack directly.
The huge pyramid had appeared in front of the emerald dragons. The area around the pyramid with a radius of more than 50 meters was covered with a type of grass about one meter tall called golden grass. It seemed that Li Xie was not suitable for an ambush here.
"Ohhhhh!!!" The Emerald Dragons roared excitedly and rushed into the grassy area around the pyramid. They rushed directly in the direction of the pyramid. They seemed to be fearless now, but their madness would make them …
"Be careful! Ambush! " Black Pepper suddenly roared in the air. The grass on both sides of the Emerald Dragon army suddenly shook violently. A group of standing scorpions suddenly jumped out from the grass. The spears in their hands suddenly flew out and pierced through many Emerald Dragons on both sides of the team.
"Ga!!!" These Emerald Dragons seemed to be overly excited. They weren't afraid when they saw their companions being stabbed to death. Instead, they raised their weapons and attacked Li Xie.
However, these standing scorpions were even faster. After throwing their spears, they immediately dived into the grass and quickly scattered.
So that's how it is. Using such a sneak attack tactic? It seemed that Li Xie didn't want to fight recklessly. They always used this hit-and-run tactic. Did that mean that their numbers weren't enough to fight against the Emerald Dragons?
Black Pepper seemed to be thinking about this too. He rode on his viper and watched carefully in the air. Lin felt that he was recording the fighting style of these standing scorpions so that he could report it to Susumi later.
"Don't run! Ga! " The Emerald Dragons wanted to catch up to the standing scorpions. They followed the tracks left by the standing scorpions and scattered in the grass.
"Don't scatter! Gather together! "Black Pepper immediately shouted when he saw this. However, some of the Emerald Dragons were too excited. They ran too far away. By the time they reacted, they found themselves standing alone in the grass.
One of the Emerald Dragons realized that something was wrong and wanted to return to the team. However, it suddenly felt like its tail was being pulled by something. Before it could react, a powerful force dragged it into the grass. Then, there was an extremely sharp scream.
"Ga!" At this time, there was another scream. Another Emerald Dragon was dragged into the grass. After that, there were a few more screams. The scattered Emerald Dragons on the grass were all ambushed.
Seeing this, Black Pepper didn't ask the Emerald Dragons to gather together. Instead, he shouted to the team, "Attack! Go all out! Let's kill those monsters hiding in the grass! "
"Ga!" A large part of the Emerald Dragons' team was still in the forest. When they heard Black Pepper's order, they immediately rushed into the grass. A large number of Emerald Dragons charged together. Their numbers were enough to occupy the entire grass. No matter how good the standing scorpions were at hiding, many of them were caught by the Emerald Dragons. Every one of them who was caught was immediately killed by the Emerald Dragons. The remaining standing scorpions who were still hiding in the grass had no choice but to retreat.
It seemed that the standing scorpions here only dared to ambush. They didn't dare to attack the Emerald Dragons' army. Perhaps there weren't many of them. At least, there weren't many of them here.
"Surround this building!" Under Black Pepper's command, the Emerald Dragons spread out. They cleared the grass around the pyramid and slowly surrounded it. The pyramid was nearly thirty meters tall. Now that it was surrounded by the Emerald Dragons, there were no longer any standing scorpions in the grass. There was no longer a need to worry about being ambushed.
The Emerald Dragons had already occupied the grass around the pyramid. They were even more excited after their victory. However, they had to stop attacking because they couldn't see the entrance to the pyramid.
The entire pyramid was surrounded by walls made of rocks and sand. There was no way for them to enter. This made the Emerald Dragons quite confused.
Even Black Pepper, who was riding on a viper, circled the pyramid a few times in the sky. He didn't find anything strange.
Could this pyramid be a trap? In fact, that wasn't the case. The spy walked to the side of the pyramid and put his ear on it to listen carefully. He could hear some voices coming from inside. The standing scorpions were talking inside.
Obviously, the inside of the pyramid was hollow. However, ordinary Emerald Dragons couldn't hear it. The spy's hearing was more sensitive. Lin could even hear some of their conversation. It sounded like they were coming, they were outside, and so on.
There didn't seem to be any actual content. It was more like the standing scorpions were gossiping among themselves. However, Lin still heard something special. "Trapped."
Who were they referring to when they were trapped? Was it referring to the standing scorpions? Or the group of Emerald Dragons outside?
The standing scorpions might have blocked the entrance before the Emerald Dragons came. Or, they might have another entrance that led to the pyramid.
The Emerald Dragons were now waiting outside. They didn't have any weapons or methods to break the walls of the pyramid. Some of the Emerald Dragons began to hit the walls with stones and wooden sticks. However, it didn't work at all.
If the standing scorpions stayed inside and didn't come out, it would lead to a battle of attrition. No one knew how much food the standing scorpions had. The Emerald Dragons obviously couldn't afford it. Their excitement would soon subside, and there wasn't much food left.
However, Black Pepper obviously had a way. He shouted in the sky, "Make wooden hammers and break the walls!"
"Caw?" Most of the Emerald Dragons looked at the sky in confusion. They didn't know how to make wooden hammers. However, the regular soldiers in the team stepped forward and began to teach the Emerald Dragons how to make wooden hammers.
First, they knocked down a big tree. Then, they sharpened one end of the tree. Then, dozens of Emerald Dragons hugged the tree and hit the wall with the sharpened end.
It seemed quite simple. The soldiers gathered the Emerald Dragons. These Emerald Dragons were holding stone axes and other weapons. Just as they were about to start looking for the tree, a voice stopped them.
"You don't have to do that." The person who said this was Lin's spy. Lin stood in front of the tree-cutting team and blocked their way.
The Emerald Dragon soldier at the front said, "Don't block them. Get out of the way!"
"I told you, you don't have to do that." The spy walked to the edge of the pyramid under the curious gazes of the Emerald Dragons. Then, Lin climbed up the slanted wall and stopped at a height of about five meters. She then said to the Emerald Dragons, "This is the entrance."
After saying that, the spy suddenly knocked on the wall. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound and a huge crack appeared on the wall.
Then, the spy jumped down from the top. The crack on the wall continued to spread. Finally, a part of the wall collapsed completely, revealing a hole about two meters in diameter.
Lin noticed that some loose gravel had fallen from the pyramid. It was obvious that the standing scorpions had temporarily pasted the gravel on the wall. However, it was impossible to tell because it was the same as the surrounding walls.
All the Emerald Dragons looked at the hole in surprise. Looking in from the outside, they could see the densely packed standing scorpions inside. Similarly, the standing scorpions looked outside in surprise. Although their carapace-covered faces were expressionless, Lin could sense their emotions.
