A small sound was mixed in with the wind and rain. Lin could hear some creatures approaching. The fur ball's body slowly changed color and began to blend in with its surroundings.
But it was too late.
Slap! Along with a strange noise, a few of the surrounding shadows suddenly pounced on the pompom. They grabbed the pompom's fur and began to bite it. However, because the pompom's fur was too long, they couldn't bite the pompom's flesh.
The pompom still had some form of defense. Lin injected a large amount of liquid into each strand of fur, causing the fur to rapidly curl up and form a solid carapace. The teeth of the creatures could not penetrate the dense fur.
After biting for a while, they retreated. Lin now had a chance to see what these creatures were.
An eyeball tentacle stretched out from the gap between the hardened fur, looking at these creatures … This was a small creature, only thirty centimeters long. It was even smaller than a dwarf, but it looked similar to a dwarf. It had a flat face, sharp claws on its limbs, a small and short tail, but most importantly, its teeth.
When they bit her earlier, she could clearly feel a tingling sensation. Now, looking at their exposed fangs, there seemed to be a little bit of light.
Could it be that these creatures' fangs could also generate electricity? Was this mountain really that interesting? How could there be so many electric creatures? Lin had only ever seen a creature that could discharge electricity in the water.
Electric discharge wasn't common, mainly because long-range attacks couldn't be achieved in the air. If it was close, it would be better to use dissolving liquid or poison.
But this mountain was often struck by lightning. So … the creatures here were good at electric discharge? This reason didn't seem to make sense.
For the time being, these creatures were called 'electric dwarves'. They might be a subspecies of dwarves or something. They were now surrounding the fur ball, as if waiting for an opportunity to attack. Even if the fur ball changed color, they could still know its location. Perhaps they had some special way of sensing.
These creatures didn't seem to know how to use things, but they might be a species with low intelligence. They circled around the fur ball and found that there was no point to attack. Then, they turned to the other side …
The 'viper' that was struck by lightning earlier was still lying on the ground. Viper was a name that Lin randomly came up with. She still couldn't confirm its relationship with a wyvern.
The Electric Gnomes couldn't even bite through a pompom, so how could they attack the scales of a Viper?
Of course, they couldn't, but they didn't attack either. What the Electric Gnomes did next was inconceivable. They forcefully opened the Viper's mouth that was still emitting smoke. Because there were a total of fifteen Electric Gnomes, only a portion of them went in while the rest climbed onto the viper's back.
"Wuu …" At this time, the alternative dragon let out a low growl and actually climbed up shakily!
It wasn't killed by the lightning?
However, it did seem possible. The energy of the lightning was different every time. Sometimes it could kill dozens of tons of creatures, and sometimes it could even kill dozens of kilograms …
The strange thing was that after the viper got up, it didn't crush the midgets in its mouth. Instead, it walked back and forth on the mountain top. Its mouth had been open the whole time, as if it was deliberately trying not to bite those midgets.
The dwarf on its back was not thrown off either. Could this be …
The alternative dragon's forelimbs were connected to the wing membrane like a pterosaur, and its hind legs were shorter, so it was especially difficult for it to climb up from the ground. After swaying for a while, it spread its wings and was about to fly.
The group of Electric Gnomes on the viper's back shouted loudly. Lin noticed that even more Electric Gnomes were climbing up from the bottom of the mountain. These creatures were densely packed around the viper and were all cheering excitedly. The viper then suddenly flapped its wings and its huge body flew high into the sky.
Seeing this, Lin also let the pompom slowly rise and followed the alternative dragon into the wind and rain.
In the hazy rain, the alternative dragon flew quickly with a large group of midgets on its back. The pompom couldn't keep up with their speed in this kind of environment. Sure enough, it wasn't good to be so furry …
Seeing that the alternative dragon was about to fly further and further away, the pompom immediately returned to the softness of its fur. At the same time, it shot a silk thread with a hook at the front and hooked onto the scales of the alternative dragon's tail.
This kind of spider silk-like thread had a very strong tenacity. It could withstand a considerable amount of weight without breaking, and it was also waterproof. The pompom was like a balloon being pulled, following behind the viper, constantly swaying with the wind and rain.
The alternative dragon didn't notice what was stuck on its back at all. It kept flapping its black wings and flew forward in the rain. It swept through one forest after another, flying towards an unknown destination …
The Electric Gnomes on its back were originally making a ruckus, but now they were quietly lying on the alternative dragon's back. They were tightly holding onto the alternative dragon's scales, afraid that they would accidentally fall off.
Speaking of which, the word 'careful' was quite strange. Why didn't it mix with 'careful' and 'careful' to mean 'mistake'? Speaking of which, 'careful' had nothing to do with these things.
While Lin was thinking about these questions, she had the pompom release several units of the 'Crawlers'. They crawled along the thread towards the viper. This viper needed to be examined, why did it become so strange after being struck by lightning?
The Crawlers slowly wriggled on the silk thread. They were like caterpillars, using their abdomen to hold on to the thread. Lin had seen many caterpillar-like creatures here. These caterpillars were usually the larvae of certain creatures, and they fed on plants. The Crawlers mimicked their structure, and they were quite stable on the silk thread …
None of the midgets noticed this. They were all tightly clinging onto the alternative dragon's back. The Crawlers crawled along the silk thread onto the alternative dragon's body. They found a gap in the scales, then extended sharp thorns from their mouths, and injected a type of miniature 'Intruder'. The moment they entered the alternative dragon's body, they immediately swam towards the alternative dragon's brain. There might be something wrong with the alternative dragon's brain.
The Intruder quickly arrived at the alternative dragon's brain. Sure enough, Lin discovered that the alternative dragon's brain was damaged. It seemed to be caused by the lightning bolt. Although it was not fatal, it had a great impact on the alternative dragon's intelligence. It might have caused some recognition problems. Was that why the alternative dragon did not attack the midgets?
In addition, Lin also found some food scraps in the alternative dragon's stomach. There were some stones mixed in with them. These stones were the same as the ones that attracted lightning. Did the alternative dragon get hit because it ate these stones? Perhaps there were also some in its mouth, so it was dangerous when it opened its mouth to roar.
The wind and rain continued. The alternative dragon's scales had a special structure that allowed water to leak out without accumulating. This proved that the alternative dragon often flew in the wind and rain. A creature like this should not be so easily struck by lightning. Something must have gone wrong.
But how did the midgets know that the alternative dragon's brain was damaged? It was a strange question, but for now, it was better to see where the alternative dragon would fly to …
The forest in front of her was still as boundless as before. A large amount of rain poured down on the forest below. It seemed that most creatures had gone into hiding, but she could still see some giant creatures moving in the wind and rain.
The trees in the forest below were constantly swaying. Looking down, Lin could see a group of creatures squeezing through the trees. They were a type of tortoise, probably another type of giant tortoise. They had moss-like plants growing on their backs. They squeezed through the trees in the wind and rain, allowing the rain to fall on them as if nourishing the plants on their backs.
This was an interesting phenomenon. At this time, the viper's speed had slowed down a lot. The dwarves on its back stood up and pointed at the tortoises below and shouted. At this time, the viper suddenly flapped its wings and swooped down!
"Wah —!!!" The pygmies screamed in horror. They desperately clung to the viper's back. The viper charged at the tortoises below at an extremely fast speed. The moment it got close, it opened its mouth wide and used its jaws to scoop up a large patch of moss from the tortoises' backs. Then, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky again.
The roars of the tortoises could be heard from the forest below. Unfortunately, they could not fly, so they could not do anything. However, the tortoise bit on the pompom that was being dragged behind the viper. Its strong tensile string instantly pulled the viper in the air.
The alternative dragon kept flapping its wings in an attempt to break free. Then, Lin let the pompadour let go of the string. The alternative dragon, which was flapping its wings fiercely, soared into the sky. The sudden impact caused the two midgets on its back to lose their grip and fell from the sky.
The alternative dragon ignored the two midgets who fell from the sky and continued to fly on its previous route.
After flying for a while, the viper seemed to want to eat the moss in its mouth. It began to close its mouth. The electric gnomes that were originally in its mouth seemed to be frightened and crawled out. They grabbed the scales on the viper's face and climbed onto the viper's head. However, a few of them were too slow and were bitten into paste together with the moss.
Something interesting seemed to have happened …
At this time, the pompadour was in the tortoise's mouth, and the Crawler was still attached to the alternative dragon's body. Looking at the alternative dragon, Lin Sanjiu concluded that the alternative dragon's behavior had nothing to do with the midgets. It wanted to eat the moss on its own. Although the midgets could ride on its back, they could not control it. It seemed that the alternative dragon's brain was not badly damaged. However, its teeth did not look like they were meant for eating plants. Why would it eat the moss?
However, Lin was sure that tortoises were meant for eating plants. The pompadour was in the tortoise's esophagus. When it was eaten, Lin noticed that the tortoises had no teeth in their mouths. They used their hardened lips to scrape off the plants, then swallowed them and ground them with a large amount of sand and stones.
