It was an ancient legend in the Skeleton Dragon tribe.
If a bright light appeared in the darkness, it could revive the dead.
However, one must exchange one thing for another. There was no free lunch. Only a newborn life could be exchanged for a dead life.
"Put a newborn life in a bright place, and it can revive a dying thing. No matter what it is, the light will fulfill... your wish."
...
A large amount of nutrients were quickly absorbed by Tucker's cells. These nutrients did not even need to be digested. The symptoms of weakness slowly subsided, and Tucker's emaciated body slowly returned to its previous state. Lin once again resurrected this creature.
After injecting nutrients for a while, Tucker slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. During this time, he looked at the Dumetha tree that was split in the middle, the stone circle that he had set up, and the egg …
Lin felt Tucker's confusion grow. Finally, he looked at the sky and saw Lin's new state...
Lin's new soldier type was more similar to a sea creature. It looked like a fluffy ball with a diameter of about 1.3 meters floating in the air.
There were tentacles with many functions hidden on the pom-poms. They could be extended or retracted. She had used similar tentacles to inject the poison just now. Lin felt that this form was more suitable to mingle with and educate the Skeleton Dragon.
Tucker now looked at the furry ball floating in the air with confusion. He should have heard the sound just now, but in order to let him understand more. The furry ball extended a tentacle with a flat end. In the flat area, there were as many pigment cells as the one displaying it.
Lin displayed the image of a pterosaur. Then she patted the furry ball's body with her tentacle.
Tucker looked at the furry ball's movements for about three seconds. Then, he looked at Lin's movements and the tentacle image and seemed to understand something. In an instant, he regained his previous excitement. His whole body was filled with crazy excitement. He kept dancing on the ground.
The previous dances were very regular, but this time, it was crazy and irregular. Lin could see that he was dancing because he was happy.
Looking at him like this, Lin also seemed to feel the emotion of 'happy'. In that case, she should know why he was waiting for death here. Was it for the egg? This thing would probably take many days and nights to hatch, and it should be a Skeleton Dragon. Tucker wanted to raise a Skeleton Dragon? Previously, he had been incomparably ferocious to Big Brother.
After Tucker danced for a while, he also looked at the egg. Then he immediately rushed to the egg that he had placed on the table and happily hugged it.
Just as Lin thought it was going to do something, a loud bang was heard. The egg was thrown to the ground by Tucker and cracked.
Looks like I guessed wrong …
Tucker was also incomparably ferocious to the small ones. The skeleton dragon eggs were very hard. Just now, there were only some cracks, so Tucker grabbed the egg again and smashed it against a rock. After the sound of the eggshell shattering, Tucker smashed a big hole in the egg …
As expected, Tucker had a lot of incomprehensible behavior.
Tucker held the egg and ran in front of Lin. Then he raised the egg and said, "Caw!" It seemed like he wanted Lin to eat it.
Tucker himself should be very hungry. Lin had only repaired his cells that were about to die from lack of water, but he still needed to eat to recover better.
However, Lin still reached out with her tentacles and scooped up the egg.
These tentacles could also be used as suction. Lin absorbed some of the yellow liquid in the egg and decomposed it in her body. Only then did she realize that there were no young in the egg at all, only the nutritional structure.
Then Lin made a little noise, indicating that she had finished eating.
After hearing this, Tucker immediately grabbed the egg and drank it. In a few seconds, he had drunk the entire egg. The empty egg was thrown aside without even looking at it.
Since he didn't care about the egg, what was he doing before?
Was it some kind of strange … ritual? Lin really wanted to know.
It seemed to be the first time the word "ritual" was mentioned. What was that?
Tucker now excitedly picked up a sharp stone on the ground and began to draw on the cave wall next to him. Lin found that his drawing skills were much better than before, and the drawings were more detailed.
And what Tucker was drawing seemed to be what had happened during this time …
Lin and Tucker had fallen into the cave, then explored inside, encountered Mao Yu, various fossils, and then a place full of bones, being besieged by meat-cutting ants, and so on.
Tucker drew some things in detail, such as the pterosaur filtering salt water, and so on. Then he drew chasing after the skeleton dragon, encountering the Dumeisa Tree, and so on.
In the end, he drew his own actions, found the egg, and put it under the tree. Then … he drew something that Lin had never seen before. In Tucker's drawing, there was a line inserted into the egg and connected it to the tree.
To be precise, it should be connected to the light emitted by the tree. The line didn't touch the tree, but Tucker specifically drew the appearance of the light. It was represented by many lines, and the drawing was quite vivid.
Then he drew that the pterosaur appeared from the light, entered the line connected to the egg, and then entered the egg … Then he drew that the pterosaur was born from the eggshell.
So that's how it is. Lin basically understood when she saw this. Tucker was doing all this in anticipation … that the pterosaur would come out of the egg? Wasn't that obviously impossible? Tucker also knew that it was the skeleton dragon's egg, so why would he have such an idea?
Then Tucker drew another scene. The pterosaur in the egg didn't come out right away, but moved back into the tree. When it came out of the tree, it became the current pompom.
After he finished drawing, he carved those strange marks under the drawing that he often liked to carve …
After seeing this, Lin somewhat understood … This was Tucker's' self-explanatory thought '.
This was a kind of imagination. Tucker imagined that if he did these actions, the pterosaur would come out of the light and enter the egg to be resurrected … Tucker didn't expect the pompom to come out of the tree, but it was resurrected anyway, so he recorded this scene …
Why would Tucker have this kind of imagination? The so-called 'self-explanatory thought' was to come up with an explanation when encountering an incomprehensible situation. However, this idea of the pterosaur being reborn from the light was really strange. Perhaps there was a reason why he had such an idea.
What was the reason? Could it be that he coincidentally found some parasitic creature coming out of the egg, and then thought that the egg could resurrect the creature?
Lin had found that some parasitic creatures would parasitize dinosaur eggs. Regardless of whether there were hatchlings inside, they would devour the nutrients inside and then come out. Maybe this had something to do with it?
When the skeleton dragon saw this, it would think that 'a lifeless egg actually had life coming out of it!' That was why it had such an idea.
Then it would use its developed brain to imagine more, such as where the creature came from, and then it would see the light in the sky …
However, this was just a speculation. The actual source of the creature had yet to be investigated.
This was really interesting. Perhaps it was because their brains were bigger that they had this kind of imagination. But speaking of which, the Cephalopod would never have this kind of strange idea. It was probably because its brain was too big that it was more rational.
For example, it was now teaching the young wyvern how to breathe fire. The headworm knew that the young wyvern couldn't breathe fire yet, so it was only teaching it 'aura' …
The headworm's brain was enough for it to understand the cause and effect of things. It would never randomly come up with a strange idea to explain things, but the skeleton dragon could imagine things like this. It was really interesting.
On the other hand, Gusquido did not have this kind of phenomenon. It might have something to do with the fact that he did not see many things in his living area. Although this phenomenon seemed interesting, it affected Tucker's life. For example, Tucker believed that the pterosaur would be resurrected, so he waited here and almost died. He believed in his imagination very much. Of course, this also had a lot to do with how important the pterosaur was to him.
It seemed that more things needed to be taught, but Lin felt that what Tucker needed most now was vocabulary. He needed to be able to communicate.
However, they had to get out of this cave first.
The Dumetha Tree that Lin destroyed was now slowly shrinking. It looked like it was withering, but in fact, it was just recovering the damaged organ. Lin only attacked one of the roots and the tree that was exposed on the surface. It did not pose any danger to the tree itself. However, Lin thought that the Dumetha Tree might leave this place and go to other places to look for prey. Although it had a certain degree of mobility, it still could not escape from relying on traps to hunt for food.
This wonderful plant meant that they might encounter even more highly evolved plants in the future …
There was a lake ahead where they could fly to the surface, but should they leave this cave just like that? The origin of the fungal fossils was still a mystery. There was also the skeleton dragon here and Tucker's relationship with them.
Tucker's attitude towards the skeleton dragon could be said to be very angry. Because they did not have enough vocabulary, Lin could not ask Tucker to explain everything. However, if they continued moving forward … they might find something.
Tucker's tribe had already left, so they should continue moving forward and see if there was anything interesting.
The cave was quite large, so Lin suspected that a part of it was dug out by creatures. Perhaps it was related to the skeleton dragon.
The cave that Lin explored seemed to have come to an end, but Lin believed that there was still a way to go deeper into the cave …
At this time, Lin also noticed that there was something special coming from the fungal island. Floating astronomy.
