Lin's pom-poms slowly placed the gnome on the edge of the cliff. The gnome was motionless as if it was dead, but the moment the tentacles let go of it, it suddenly fled into the forest and disappeared without a trace ….
This skill is not bad. It knows how to stay still and play dead to make the predator relax, although even cockroaches can do this.
The gnome's nest should be at the bottom of the cliff. It would probably come back after a while, so Lin changed the color of her pompom and waited here.
At this time, one of the many eyeballs that Lin released earlier found a group of white skeletal dragons. It was about three hundred meters away from the huts on the cliff, located in the forest west of the cliff. There were ten huts, and white skeletal dragons were eating fruits in a circle in the huts.
It seemed that the two groups of white skeletal dragons were very close to each other. Lin Sanjiu did not know what the relationship between the two groups was. If they were so close, they should be on good terms.
Usually, social creatures would be in a competitive relationship with another group of creatures of the same species. They often had a large territory, but the white skeletal dragons seemed to be different.
Lin's eyeball discovered another group of Skeletal Dragons two hundred meters north of the cliff. There were also ten of them. Since a Skeletal Dragon usually lived in only one hut, the number of huts was enough to determine the population of their group.
It seemed that they were on good terms, or they would not be so close to each other. But if that was the case, why didn't they live together? They were scattered all over the place. Could it be because...
To avoid being killed all at once?
That was unlikely... Anyway, she would record them and observe them.
At this time, there was a rustling sound in the forest. The gnome that ran away earlier had returned. It looked around. After finding no danger, it walked towards the cliff...
The pompom changed color and followed behind it. Just as the gnome was about to climb down the cliff. It suddenly saw the group of white skeletal dragon huts not far away.
The gnome was stunned for a moment, then slowly approached the huts... Was it going to do something while the white skeletal dragons were not there?
The dwarf swayed its small body and gently approached the huts. It used its flat nose to sniff the air. After confirming the situation, it ran to the edge of the cliff and cried out towards the bottom of the cliff.
"Gua, gua, gua." The sound gave Lin a strange feeling. Gnomes' vocal cords seemed to be different from the others. Following its voice, three dwarves appeared from the bottom of the cliff. They climbed up along the vines and crevices on the cliff. The four dwarves gathered together.
Lin thought they might have grown so small to get used to crawling around, but there were other possibilities as well. The pompom followed the four dwarves into the huts of the Skeletal Dragons. They quickly searched through every hut, searching every rock and wooden stick that the Skeletal Dragons had placed inside. The dwarves would then collect the bones they found. They were collected by throwing them directly into the mouth.
However, he didn't swallow it. The Forest Gnomes had an organ in their mouths called a cheek pouch. It can be used to store food and the like.
Apart from the bones, the dwarves threw everything they found aside. However, there was no food here. In the end, they found the hut where the fire seed was placed.
The dwarves entered the hut cautiously. This hut was the largest, and it was most likely the leader's room. However, there was nothing special here. The dwarves noticed the skull with the Flame Flower seeds. They immediately rushed up and picked up the skull, then threw away all the seeds inside.
The pile of leaves where the fire seed was placed was also rummaged by them. The fire seed was then extinguished by a dwarf with a stomp.
Just like that, the four dwarves stuffed their mouths full of bones and carried a skull on their backs. They quickly escaped from the huts and climbed down the cliff.
Lin really wanted to know how the group of white skeletal dragons would feel when they returned.
The pompom followed the dwarves down the cliff, leaving an eyeball to observe the huts.
The dwarves quickly climbed down the cliff. Their movements were so fast that they scared off a large group of small pterosaurs along the way. The dwarves climbed to the bottom of the cliff near the rapids. They flipped over a large pile of leaves and branches, revealing a cave.
It seemed that this was their nest.
The dwarves entered the cave one by one. The pompom followed behind them. The size of the cave was just enough for a pompom with a diameter of more than a meter to fit in.
The cave was relatively spacious. Lin found that there were bones everywhere. Most of them were leg bones. They were inserted into the ground one by one. Sometimes, there was even a skull on top of the leg bones.
These dwarves liked to do these strange things … The skulls were also of various kinds. Most of them were of pterosaur skulls, and some were of horned dragons. However, they were all small or young dinosaurs. Lin actually found a skull of a white skeletal dragon among them.
It might be the skull of a white skeletal dragon that they found outside. What was the point of putting these bones here?
… What was that? Lin suddenly found a glowing skull on the side of the road ahead. There were many other glowing skulls around.
The pompom took a closer look and found that the skull was filled with the larvae of a kind of carrion beetle. Their tails were glowing, as if they were sucking the nutrients in the bones.
The cave passage became more and more spacious. There were bones on both sides of the passage. There were also vines hanging on the walls of the cave … Why did these dwarves like bones so much?
The cave was quite deep. Lin followed the four dwarves for dozens of meters and arrived at a very open space.
There … were a large number of dwarves gathered here!
There should be over a hundred of them. They gathered together and made a lot of noise. Their voices made Lin feel a little irritated. There were many glowing bones around the cave. The light here could no longer reach them, so they relied on these bones for illumination. In the center of the cave, there was a small mountain of bones, and on top of the small mountain stood a special dwarf.
This dwarf was wearing an eggshell. It looked like the eggshell of a large dinosaur. It was probably picked up outside. It held a wooden stick in its hand. There was a glowing white skeletal dragon skull on top of the stick.
This strange-looking dwarf was obviously the leader. It looked around at the noisy dwarves below, raised the wooden stick with the skull stuck in it, and then opened its mouth … …
"Wah —!!!"
At the dwarf leader's strange yell, they all stopped making noise and looked at the leader in the middle.
The leader waved the stick, and the dwarves immediately made way. The four dwarves who went out earlier came out from the middle. They walked up to the leader and spat out the bones they had obtained earlier. They also placed the skull in front of the leader.
After the leader looked at the bones, it suddenly yelled, "Wah wah wah wah!" Then, all the dwarves in the cave shouted together! They seemed to be very excited in an instant.
They seemed to have very strange habits. Lin planned to list them as targets for observation.
On the other side, the group of White Skeletal Dragons had returned from the huts on the cliff. Unlike the excited dwarves, the White Skeletal Dragons were enraged when they saw that their huts had been turned into such a mess.
One of the white skeletal dragons rushed into the hut. When it saw that the fire had been extinguished, and the skull with the Flame Flower was gone …
"Gah —!!!" The white skeletal dragon roared angrily. It rushed out of the hut and roared at another white skeletal dragon outside.
Lin still remembered this white skeletal dragon. It was the one who collected the seeds and added fuel to the fire.
"Gah!" The other white skeletal dragons looked at the white skeletal dragon. They surrounded it and grabbed its limbs …
The white skeletal dragon kept struggling, but it was useless. It was dragged to the edge of the cliff by its own kind, and then thrown down from the cliff.
Following a cry, the white skeletal dragon slammed into a rock protruding from the cliff. A huge amount of blood spurted out from its mouth, and it stopped moving …
The other white skeletal dragons who threw it down glanced at it, then turned around and walked into the woods.
Their behavior was really … too stupid.
Lin only had one comment on their actions.
Did the white skeletal dragons think that their companion had extinguished the fire? Based on their intelligence, they should know it was impossible. If the fire had been extinguished by accident, there was no need to kill it. Lin doubted if they were the same kind.
Skeletal Dragons behaved similarly, but they only 'banished' their fellows who had committed a mistake. Furthermore, they were able to join other species very quickly without killing them. It seemed that the White Skeletal Dragons had developed some very strange behaviors …
At this moment, the dwarf leader in the cave suddenly let out a loud cry. Ten dwarves immediately rushed out of the cave. Lin followed them and observed. She saw that the group of dwarves had climbed from the bottom of the cliff to the place where the Skeleton Dragon had fallen to its death. They surrounded the protruding rock. A few dwarves grabbed the corpse and tried to drag it down with all their might.
They seemed to know that a white skeletal dragon had fallen to its death in the cave. Or were they familiar with the habits of the white skeletal dragons? Or did they extinguish the fire on purpose?
If that was the case, they were too smart. It did not seem possible.
The group of dwarves stopped after pulling the corpse. It was indeed a problem for them, who were only half a meter tall, to pull the two-meter-tall white skeletal dragon from the cliff. The dwarves surrounded the corpse, as if they were hesitating about what to do.
After a hundred seconds of consideration, they finally decided to pull it down!
Five dwarves pushed on one side, while the other five pulled on the other. They worked together to pull the corpse down from the protruding rock.
However, the corpse was quite heavy. The ten dwarves used their hands and feet to hold on to the cliff, and it was quite strenuous for them to hold on to the corpse with their mouths. Suddenly, two of the dwarves slipped and hung in the air with the corpse still in their mouths. The remaining eight dwarves also lost their grip on the cliff due to the sudden increase in gravity. The ten dwarves fell into the rapids below the cliff together with the white skeletal dragon's corpse. Floating Astronomy.
