"Construct, shape, and travel through the ocean."
On the Gemini Island in the distant ocean, the headworm and the little wyvern were lying on the beach. It planned to build a boat with wood that could move on the sea. Because of the battle with the Inca swarm, the headworm realized the importance of moving in the water. It also planned to produce aquatic troops, but for the headworm, it was not easy to create a new troop. It would take a long time.
So, it was better to build a boat.
Building a boat required very advanced technology. That was what the headworm thought. But what it did not know was that in the distant continent, there was a group of short creatures that had mastered this technology …
…
There was a river that crossed the wasteland. This was the only stable water source in the wasteland. At the same time, it was also known as the 'Dragon River'. This was a name given by the skeletal dragons because a kind of giant dinosaur often passed by this river. Recently, there was a new group of people living near the river near the salt flats.
After changing from the forest gnomes to the river gnomes, the gnomes' lives had changed a lot. The gnomes did not like to live alone, so they used all kinds of bones they found on the road to create a cave-like 'house' by the river. There were also bones around their territory. They especially liked to string some skulls together and put them around the house. This seemed to have a frightening effect on other creatures.
This could probably be called a 'Horror Totem'.
The gnomes were very adaptable to the new environment. Their skin, which originally liked the dark, quickly adapted to the sun. But originally, the gnomes mainly ate the small pterosaurs and their eggs on the cliff. Their blowdarts were also very suitable to deal with these small pterosaurs. But here in the wasteland. There were huge dinosaurs and all kinds of dangers everywhere. In order to deal with these dangers, the gnomes used a special method.
"Wow! Ah! Oh! " On the river bank under the hot sun, the new leader of the gnomes waved the thigh bone in its hand. It was instructing the gnomes to use dried vines found nearby and a hollow bone to tie together to make a shape of a leaf.
This bone and vine combination was three meters long and one and a half meters wide. The gnomes were quite familiar with making it. It seemed that they had made it before.
Lin's pom-poms had been paying attention to the lives of these dwarfs recently. If they did not adapt, they might become extinct. Now, the pom-poms had changed their colors and were observing them from high up in the sky.
The leader commanded the dwarves to make ten boats, and each boat had five dwarves sitting on it. They were armed with blowdarts and other weapons. After sitting on the boats, a large number of dwarves pushed them into the river.
The leader himself was also sitting on one of the boats. The boat had a platform made of bones for him to stand on, and when they all entered the water. The leader raised his thigh bone and shouted, "Wow!"
Perhaps it meant to move forward.
The pom-poms followed them to the river, but before this, Lin had not been sure where the river led to. Now was the time to confirm where the river led to.
Over the past few years, aside from observing the lives of various creatures and building a base, Lin had also been working on a special project. Overall, it had been completed, but she needed to wait for a special opportunity to start it …
Until then, she would continue to observe their lives. There was also the matter of the Dream World … In the Dream World, apart from being able to create a different and interesting world, there were many other uses. For example, Lin could experiment and piece together some different types of soldiers, and then piece them together outside.
This would save a lot of nutrients. If she was not satisfied with what she had pieced together, she would have to use more nutrients to modify them. It was very troublesome to modify them, and it was also very fast.
However, it was better to observe the outside for now …
The gnomes' boats did not have a way to propel themselves. They just let the boats drift slowly along the river. If they wanted to change directions, they would use some relatively long thigh bones to row. However, the boats made purely of bones and vines did not have any water entering them. It was a very good structure.
Obviously, they had made something similar in the past, although she did not see them making anything at the cliff.
Lin followed the gnomes to the center of the river. They floated on the water for about a hundred meters before stopping. The current here was very slow, and it seemed to be a good place to stop the boats. Under the command of the leader, the gnomes all jumped into the water. Only the leader remained on the boat. Some gnomes were responsible for stabilizing the boat and preventing it from changing directions.
After a while, the gnomes in the water swam up. They were all holding fish or other aquatic creatures in their mouths. They threw the fish onto the boat and dived down to catch more.
Gnomes were very good at swimming. The boats were used for them to store food, not to move.
So that's why, instead of hunting the difficult dinosaurs and plants in the wasteland, they were here to catch fish to eat? In that case, they should continue living. Lin should also leave. The pompom continued to float upstream. Perhaps she could find something special upstream.
Something special …?
Just as Lin was thinking this, the pompom suddenly saw a white object appear on the river. It slowly floated down with the current.
This is … a White Skeleton Dragon? Sure enough, they were distributed in other places. I have to go upstream to take a look.
"Woah?" The leader of the gnomes saw the White Skeleton Dragon floating down the river. The dragon happened to float past his boat. The leader poked the White Skeleton Dragon with his thigh bone in confusion.
"Ga!" The White Skeleton Dragon suddenly grabbed the thigh bone in the leader's hand and dragged the leader into the water …
"Woah!" The leader of the gnomes screamed as soon as he fell into the water. The gnomes who were fishing in the water immediately gathered around and bit the White Skeleton Dragon with their sharp teeth. The gnomes were as agile as fish in the water. The White Skeleton Dragon did not even have a chance to fight back. Its blood dyed the river red.
"Woah!" The leader of the gnomes yelled after making sure the White Skeleton Dragon was dead. The gnomes immediately pushed the boat back, leaving the White Skeleton Dragon's body behind …
