Boom!
The sound of cannon fire rang out in the night sky.
Lin erected a Styx Cannon at the edge of the Dinosaur Continent's rift valley. In fact, this cannon was built at the same time as the cannons on the Fungus Island before the Plague War. Lin originally thought that in case something attacked, she could use this cannon to defend the rift valley, but later on, she canceled this plan and only built a single cannon.
Since the rift valley was ten kilometers wide, it was the perfect place to test the speed of the bomb. Lin was now using the rift valley to test the speed of the bomb and continuously improve it.
Her goal was to cross the rift valley in one second.
Boom! Another rumble was heard. A rapidly spinning explosive bullet rushed out. The thick fog above the rift was dispersed around it. The armor-piercing bullet flew across the rift at a speed faster than the speed of sound and hit the cliff with a loud boom.
The sound echoed in the valley for a long time. Although the bomb was powerful, it was still... too slow.
The bomb could only travel a few hundred meters per second at most, but ten kilometers was a fantasy.
Speaking of which, what did Arabian Nights mean? It was so strange that even a single sound was hard to explain.
Boom! Lin raised the cannon and aimed at the star in the sky and fired an explosive bullet.
Those spots of light appeared to be very close, but in reality, they were unreachable … Lin called the place where they couldn't fly the 'Barrier Layer'. The 'Barrier Layer' was actually not that far from the ground, about ten kilometers away, but it was an insurmountable obstacle.
Who knew when it would be completed? What would appear in the stars? New life forms?
No matter what, it would probably take a long time. Perhaps it would be better to explore this world first before going?
There were too many mysteries in this world. This was a pretty good feeling... if there was nothing to explore. How boring would that be?
While Lin was working hard, on the other side of the forest, Tucker was also crossing his own obstacle - the war with another tribe.
Unlike the rumbling of cannons from time to time on the other side of the rift valley, Tucker's side could be said to be in the dead of night.
In the beginning, although Tucker angrily gathered the tribe to attack, he quickly calmed down. He deliberately waited until nightfall … When the surroundings returned to darkness, then he prepared to attack …
Tucker took all the tribes as if he was going to hunt in the distance. They would go out in full force, even bringing their young with them. This was a characteristic of Humerus Dragons. Their young would observe actual combat and learn from it. However, they usually did not bring their young with them when they were hunting in close proximity.
Dozens of skeleton dragons passed through the woods quietly and moved toward their target, following the scent in the woods.
The rustling of the wind echoed in the dark forest. The forest here was darker during the day, and there was no light at night. Tucker led the team in front. It held two stones and knocked them from time to time. This was the 'echolocation method' that Lin had taught them.
Through the sound of knocking on the stone, he could confirm the position of the surrounding objects. As a matter of fact, there was no need for sensitive senses. Even a skeleton dragon could do that. Although it was impossible to display a detailed image, it could tell the location of the obstacles around it.
This required a long period of practice. In fact, only Tucker knew how to do it. The practice method was also very simple. Close your eyes and use sound to perceive the world around you …
Just like what Tucker was doing now.
"Stop." Tucker suddenly made a sound, and his tribe immediately stopped.
"Tap." Tucker knocked on the stone and then closed his eyes to listen to the sound. Although it was dark around him, he could feel the difference in the surrounding environment. His sense of smell also smelled the stench of a Humerus Dragon in the air.
To Tucker, this smell was indeed very 'stinky'.
"We're here …" Tucker whispered. He grabbed a small beetle from the leather bag at his waist and threw it into the air.
The moment the small beetle was thrown out, it instantly spread out the four membranous wings inside its shell. At the same time, a faint green light lit up.
It was a type of bug known as neon green. It was flying in the air. Although the light emitted by the beetle was not very bright, it was enough to illuminate the vision of the skeletal dragons in this almost pitch-black environment.
The eyes of the skeleton dragons also had some night vision. They could reflect light many times to increase their vision in the dark. The beetle sprinkled a green light. In the green light, a group of huts appeared in front of Tucker.
Lin had an Observant Eye following them. Looking at Tucker's movements, Lin felt that he could be considered a very powerful hunter.
"Coo …" Tucker made a low sound, suppressing his urge to attack directly. He continued to observe the surroundings with the light of the beetle. The huts of the Humerus Dragons were located in a clearing in the forest. Like the skeleton dragons, the Humerus Dragons slept at night, but they would have a 'sentry' awake at night. It would walk back and forth among the huts, observing for danger.
The sentry noticed the small beetle flying over. It tilted its head and looked at the beetle with interest. It even stretched out its claws to poke it, but the sentry did not sense any danger.
Tucker looked at the sentry's movements and felt a sense of pride. Then, he began to command his tribe.
"You guys, group five, go." As soon as Tucker's voice fell, the surrounding members immediately climbed up the trees around the clearing in groups of five. Each skeleton dragon was holding three spears.
This degree of cooperation was mainly trained when they were hunting. Skeleton dragons were basically like this, giving quick commands with simple words.
Although they were very cooperative, Lin was still a little worried. They had almost never hunted prey over a ton, and rarely fought with large carnivorous creatures. Could they fight the Humerus Dragons?
Tucker seemed to understand this, so he was very careful. Although he was so angry with the Humerus Dragons that he wanted to rush up and kill them as soon as he saw them, he still very quietly gave orders …
The members climbed up the trees more than 20 meters high. They grabbed the spears with one claw and reached into the leather pouches at their waists with the other.
"Woo woo woo …" A member in the tree made a small sound. They told Tucker that they were ready.
Tucker looked at the huts again. And the sentry that was playing with the beetle. Then he said, "Release!"
Under Tucker's command, all the Humerus Dragons released a glowing beetle from their leather pouches. A large number of light spots danced in the sky, illuminating the clearing in the forest.
The sentry looked at the light in the sky with some surprise. Seeing such a beautiful scene, it was very excited. It seemed that the Humerus Dragons' aesthetic standards were very similar to those of the Humerus Dragons.
Lin noticed that many species had their own sense of beauty. Sometimes, a creature would find something ugly. Another would find it beautiful. This was very interesting.
After more than ten seconds, the sentry seemed to have finally realized that there was something wrong with the flying beetles. It began to cry out. Its voice was not loud, but it was loud enough to spread across the entire clearing. The skeletal dragons that were sleeping in the huts began to wake up.
Tucker's tribe in the trees all clenched their spears. This was the opportunity that Tucker had been waiting for.
The heads of the Humerus Dragons poked out of the huts. They seemed to be a little curious about the flying beetles like the sentry. At this moment. Tucker suddenly roared, "Shoot!"
Whoosh!
The sound of a large number of objects shuttling through the forest suddenly rang out. The Humerus Dragons looked at the spears protruding from their chests in disbelief. They fell to the ground before they realized what was going on.
This time, six Humerus Dragons had their chests pierced by the spears in an instant. Most of the others were behind the huts or missed. The Humerus Dragons had come to their senses. Their leader shouted, and all the Humerus Dragons gathered immediately. They looked at the surrounding forest nervously. The Humerus Dragons' night vision was better than the Humerus Dragons', but it was difficult for them to find Tucker's tribe hiding in the trees.
Seeing that the Humerus Dragons had all gathered together, Tucker's tribe immediately began a second round of shooting!
Dozens of spears flew out and pierced the chests of several Humerus Dragons again. The moment they fell to the ground, the leader of the Humerus Dragons finally saw where the spears had come from.
"Caw!" the Humerus Dragon shouted at a tree. All the members immediately rushed to that tree! At the same time, Tucker also made a sound to attack. All the Humerus Dragons rushed down from the tree. They held the last spear that they had not thrown and began to fight the Humerus Dragons.
The two sides were originally equal in numbers, but the Humerus Dragons had lost 12 members in the attack just now, so they were at a disadvantage.
The Humerus Dragons rushed down from the tree and stabbed the Humerus Dragons with their spears. The Humerus Dragons used wooden sticks to fight back. The strength of the two sides was very similar, but the Humerus Dragons' weapons were better. Soon, a few more Humerus Dragons were pierced. Seeing this, the leader immediately shouted and rushed into the battlefield without taking anything.
A spear immediately stabbed at the leader. The leader instantly grabbed the spear and pulled it over. At the same time, its other claw pierced the throat of the Humerus Dragon holding the spear.
The leader was indeed different. A few more spears stabbed at the leader, and it immediately jumped back to dodge them.
Although the leader was very strong, the Humerus Dragons were slowly forced to retreat. However, they still had an advantage. The glowing beetles around them slowly scattered. When the surroundings returned to darkness, Tucker's tribe would not be able to see clearly.
"Caw!" The leader shouted, and the remaining Humerus Dragons slowly gathered together while resisting the Humerus Dragons' spears. The leader seemed to have realized this problem, so it seemed to be trying to stall for time.
"Caw!" The leader shouted and commanded while fighting with the spears it had snatched. Seeing that the surroundings were about to fall into darkness, they were going to win!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a stone flew into the leader's open mouth. The leader's trachea seemed to be stuck, and it coughed continuously. The spear in its hand fell to the ground.
"Die!" At this time, Tucker jumped out from among the Humerus Dragons. He held the spear in his hand and instantly pierced the chest of the Humerus Dragon leader! Amazing astronomy.
