The sun on the salt flats was still scorching hot. The skeleton dragon tribe slowly moved forward in the wilderness. Just the previous day and night, they had made Tucker their leader.
However, they didn't become the leader immediately, but after a hunt, they were willing to recognize Tucker as the leader. They didn't have any complicated ceremony to become the leader, but it was more like the whole race instantly recognized him as the leader and began to listen to Tucker's command.
Lin, on the other hand, had always been regarded as a "special" person...
When he became the leader, Tucker began to "show off his knowledge"... It sounded like a funny word.
Tucker began to teach the others how to draw just like Lin did. He had learned almost everything Lin taught him, and could also teach the other Skeleton Dragons perfectly. It seemed that all Skeleton Dragons had this habit of teaching, which allowed their descendants to learn quickly.
Tucker taught the other skeleton dragons to use a drawing to represent what they saw, record what they saw, and even draw what they thought. The skeleton dragons learned quickly, and then they used it to teach their young.
Then there was the vocabulary. Everything had a corresponding pronunciation. Previously, the Skeleton Dragons also had vocabulary, but it was not complete. Now, they finally had a complete vocabulary!
The young could also grow quickly through this learning. They did not need to see the real thing to recognize the prey, but could recognize it directly from the drawing. They could also learn how to hunt from the drawing. After some calculations, Lin believed that this could speed up the learning time of the original young by about half.
Unfortunately, the growth of the young could not be sped up, but the half-grown young should be able to join the battle. This could directly improve the skeleton dragons' hunting ability.
After this, the skeleton dragons fell in love with drawing. They always drew all kinds of things on places like rocks. Even if they could not take the rock away, they would still carve it.
Lin had been paying attention to her surroundings during the journey. She looked for creatures to ambush her, but she did not see any white skeleton dragons after walking for dozens of kilometers.
Lin asked some of the skeleton dragons who had learned more words. They said that it was indeed a white skeleton dragon that had ambushed them, and it had happened at night. However, it had only ambushed them once and never appeared again.
In that case, she did not care too much. When they reached their destination, she would teach them more complicated things.
Their journey in the desert continued. In this desert filled with salt, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up. Along the way, the only animals Lin saw were some small pterosaurs. They were searching for dried corpses on the salt ground to feed them. Other than that, there were also salt cages used to prey on the pterosaurs and plants that weren't traps but were highly poisonous.
The Skeleton Dragons basically relied on these poisonous plants for food. Some of them could be eaten directly because they knew which parts were edible and didn't need Lin to filter them. Of course, they preferred to eat the ones Lin made.
However, Lin usually didn't help them much. Instead, she let them think of their own ways to survive.
The journey lasted for five days and nights. The feeling of dryness and salt wind accompanied every skeleton dragon. Tucker was their leader. It often walked at the front and often let out loud cries to make the members of the tribe more energetic.
They seemed to have a lot of strange thoughts when they were tired and weak. This would affect their movements, and they would need their leader to do something called 'encouragement' to make them more energetic.
It felt really troublesome.
However, after walking for so long in the salt flats, when they saw that the scorching sun was still emitting heat in the sky, their minds might have some strange thoughts. It seemed that they didn't know where to go. Perhaps only their leader knew the way. If this continued, they might get lost in this wasteland.
If there were no objects around, Lin found that most creatures would just walk in circles. This seemed to have something to do with their brains. Skeleton Dragons were good at chasing after smells on the ground, but when there was no smell, they couldn't do anything …
Thump …
Suddenly, a shocking sound came from the front. It sounded like some kind of creature was moving. Tucker immediately rushed forward and hid behind a rock to observe.
That was … the first time he saw a large animal on the salt ground.
Lin floated up and saw dozens of huge dinosaurs moving slowly on the ground. They were creatures called draconic beasts. They were about three meters long and probably weighed two tons. Like the Skeleton Dragons, they were probably on their way to cross the salt ground.
The draconic beasts were fat and had short tails. They looked like horned dragons without shields or horns. They were very suitable prey and excellent navigators.
Tucker looked at the group of creatures and made a small sound with his mouth. At the same time, he raised a rock with a picture engraved on it and waved it. All the draconic beasts immediately ran over.
Then, they kept a certain distance behind the group of draconic beasts. Lin's fur could change color, so she could float closer. The draconic beasts were not in good condition and were quite nervous. They immediately ran wildly when there was any movement around them. This forced Tucker to keep a distance from them.
However, it was worth it to follow them. The group of draconic beasts kept moving in one direction and did not go in circles. After thousands of seconds of following them, the unique fragrance of plants slowly appeared around them and the air started to feel less dry …
Finally, on the white horizon in the distance, there was a … green!
"Caw!" Tucker was the first to see the green color. He shouted excitedly and rushed over. All the dragon beasts in front of him were scared and ran in all directions. Then, Tucker's group also rushed out with him. They ran crazily toward the green color. When they got close, all the members let out a burst of exclamations!
Lin floated up from behind. She saw that the greenery was a vast expanse of green land. Huge grasses as tall as three meters filled Lin's vision. Occasionally, she would see a taller and 'fatter' tree standing among the tall grasses. This place was called the 'Grassland Plain' by the Skeleton Dragons.
They had seen the 'mirage' of this plain once before, but it did not deceive the Skeleton Dragons who used smell as their standard for finding things …
The term 'mirage' sounded strange, but in general, it was a kind of light refraction illusion.
The Skeleton Dragons dove straight into the haystack that was taller than them. Lin floated over it and saw a lake more than ten meters wide a few dozen meters away. Tucker used his sense of smell to track down the source of the water. When they saw the lake, they jumped into it without a second thought!
Watching the Skeleton Dragons swimming in the lake, Lin could feel their excitement. However, it seemed a little inappropriate because they seemed to be too excited and forgot about the danger. They had to be taught that.
In the grass by the lake, a creature was staring at the Skeleton Dragons swimming in the water. However, it seemed to be hesitant because of the number of Skeleton Dragons. In the end, it turned around and left.
The Skeleton Dragons swam in the water for a long time. When they came ashore, the sky once again ushered in darkness. However, this time, they did not have to dig holes in the ground.
The skeletal dragons cut down the tall grasses and tied them together in circles to make the shape of a hut. Even the little skeletal dragons were involved in the construction of the hut. It seemed that Tucker and the others were planning to live in this place.
While they were building the hut, Lin slowly floated to a higher place to observe the environment. This' high grassland 'stretched for five kilometers. At the end of the grassland was a jungle. The trees looked quite thick and were more than fifty meters tall. They were a kind of giant plant.
Through the starlight of the night, she could see some large dinosaurs moving around the edge of the jungle. There were also all kinds of strange sounds coming from the grass. There should be a lot of creatures here.
This environment looked very good.
Then, it was time to start educating the Skeleton Dragons here! Lin would create a race with high intelligence!
At the same time, Lin could also observe the development of Gusquido and the other Skeleton Dragons to see how much faster a race with her teaching would develop compared to a race without her teaching …
Lin had already come up with a method to make them grow quickly. Although Lin had never taught any other species before, and this was her first time, so she might not be able to do it well, even if it failed, it wouldn't cause any problems. Furthermore, it was very interesting, so why not?
Why not? She should also teach them such strange words.
When the day came, the Skeleton Dragons walked out of the hut they weaved out of grass. The beginning of the day was supposed to be their hunting time, but this time, Lin gathered them together and gave them their first lesson …
The Skeleton Dragons now had a certain level of manufacturing ability, but the huts they made did not seem to have any defensive capabilities. It seemed that other than keeping them warm, they did not have any other effect. They needed to build something stronger.
Lin used the pigment cells to show some different huts. She asked the Skeleton Dragons to build them out of bones or stones. She also used a compression-resistant structure to defend against the attacks of some large creatures.
Near the hunting grounds, the Skeleton Dragons would usually leave if they did not see any prey. Lin asked them to dig holes in the ground to hide and wait for prey to come over before attacking.
At the same time, she could also teach them to make traps and other things.
The Skeleton Dragons seemed to understand immediately. They learned very quickly, but it was quite troublesome for them to dance after learning.
Next, it was time to hunt. The Skeleton Dragons did not seem to have lived here before, but they could still track down their prey. When they approached their prey, Lin taught them a new kind of knowledge — calculation.
Calculation could increase the attack range and hit rate. However, Lin would not explain something as complicated as calculation directly. Instead, she taught them in another way. For example, if a dinosaur was moving at a speed of ten meters per second, where should a wooden spike be thrown to hit the target? This had a lot to do with the direction of the wind, the distance, the size of the wooden spike, and the strength of the Skeleton Dragon. Lin would directly tell them where to throw the wooden spike, and then let the Skeleton Dragons feel the difference.
If they could master this, they would become hunters with 100% accuracy.
Calculation could be used for many other things, but it was enough for the Skeleton Dragons to hunt.
