They had woken up …
"Caw …?" A White Skeleton Dragon that was moving rocks looked around in confusion, as if wondering what it was doing. There were other White Skeleton Dragons moving rocks around it. The White Skeleton Dragon immediately put down the rock in its hand, ran to another White Skeleton Dragon that was moving rocks, and asked, "Caw?"
"Caw?" The Skeleton Dragon was stunned for a moment, and it put down the rock.
It seemed that they had woken up at different times. Lin saw that more and more Skeleton Dragons were puzzled by their actions. They seemed to remember what they were doing, but they did not know the meaning of it.
They might have done it unknowingly. So that kind of brainwave could have such a strange effect on them? But … what was the meaning of it?
Some of the Skeleton Dragons that were piling up corpses and preparing to drag them to the river also realized what was going on. They looked at the corpses in confusion, and suddenly felt sad.
"Caw —!!!" The Skeleton Dragon raised its head and roared into the sky. All the Skeleton Dragons that were still moving rocks and corpses woke up at the sound of its roar.
They put down the rocks in their hands and gathered in front of the howling Skeleton Dragon.
Lin saw that they were all looking at the piles of corpses. Each of the Skeleton Dragons had mixed emotions. Some of them were very sad, and they seemed to be regretting …
They were regretting what they had done, causing the deaths of so many of their companions. Most of them must have died of exhaustion. The Skeleton Dragons rarely rested when moving corpses.
"Caw caw caw!" Suddenly. One of the Skeleton Dragons roared, and the other Skeleton Dragons were also filled with extreme anger. They madly rushed to the lithosphere that they had piled up before, kicked the rocks, smashed them, and pushed them away. Each of the Skeleton Dragons was doing this angrily. Soon, they had completely destroyed the lithosphere that they had piled up.
It seemed that the Skeleton Dragons were very angry about what they had done, so they felt that they should destroy it?
The Skeleton Dragons probably had not been making these lithospheres all the time. They also had to spare time to hunt and fetch water. Plus, they had to make these lithospheres. It was understandable that they had gone from thousands to less than a hundred now.
After destroying all the lithospheres, the Skeleton Dragons were so tired that they lay on the ground. Some were drinking water or eating something. Lin felt that they were relaxed, as if their tiredness had improved a lot.
Next. The Skeletal Dragons returned to their normal state. When night fell, they scattered the piles of corpses and lurked around the corpses, trying to catch the pterosaurs that went to eat the corpses.
The way they used corpses was quite impressive. The pterosaur could not see clearly in the dark. The success rate of capture was much higher. Pterosaurs relied heavily on their eyesight, and flying creatures were usually like this …
These Skeleton Dragons seemed to be starving. In the dark night, they caught quite a number of pterosaurs and ate until they were all full. Only then did they stop.
When it was daytime, the fully-fed Skeleton Dragons gathered together. They stood in front of the corpse and said some strange words. Most of them were 'Ga'.
The White Skeleton Dragon did not seem to have a very detailed language …
After they finished speaking, they left the corpses there and returned to their huts, as if they were starting to live a normal life.
In the next two days, these White Skeleton Dragons destroyed all the other rings. After that, they did not do anything special, just like normal White Skeleton Dragons.
They mainly lived in huts and hunted wild creatures for a living. Periodically, they would go to the river to get water.
Lin found it strange that there were many rooms in the cliff by the river. They did not seem to have been made by the White Skeleton Dragons. Perhaps there were other creatures living nearby.
Lin also saw some White Skeleton Dragon corpses in the river earlier. Perhaps there were other White Skeleton Dragons living nearby and were affected by the same thing?
Why did they make those rings? It did not seem to make sense. Perhaps it was because the White Skeleton Dragons imagined it. Sometimes, they would imagine strange patterns to explain the things around them.
Lin continued to observe these White Skeleton Dragons for a while. They had been living in huts, very similar to the White Skeleton Dragons in the forest. They did not have any young in their group. They probably kept the habit of throwing their young out. The difference between them and the White Skeleton Dragons in the forest was that they lived in large groups. However, it was also possible that they were influenced to gather together.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with these White Skeleton Dragons, the pompom floated back to the river and continued to flow upstream.
There should be more split-brains and creatures affected by the split-brains nearby. The pompom flew past the canyon. The river kept flowing southwest. The current here was faster than before. Lin Sanjiu could see some large fish swimming in the water.
Unlike the colorful creatures in the sea, the creatures in the river were usually gray and black. Although there were some colorful creatures, they were relatively rare. It was an interesting phenomenon because the color of the sand in the river was similar to the color of the sea. However, the color of these creatures was very different …
She found it. That was …
On the river bank, Lin saw some huts. Although they were all huts, they were obviously different from the huts of the White Skeleton Dragons. This must be a White Skeleton Dragon's hut.
Since Tucker had absorbed a lot of White Skeleton Dragons, there were not many other White Skeleton Dragons in the forest. However, there were obviously more White Skeleton Dragons further away …
Both White Skeleton Dragons and White Skeleton Dragons had the habit of spreading their groups. Lin Sanjiu did not know why the Emerald Dragons were all gathered together. However, seeing that each group of Emerald Dragons lived under a giant stone egg, it was likely that they were originally from different groups. Different groups of Emerald Dragons could exchange mates to avoid inbreeding.
Some species were fine with inbreeding, but others were very problematic. This was quite interesting.
The pompom flew above the huts of the White Skeleton Dragons. There were a total of 49 huts. According to the general population of White Skeleton Dragons, this was close to the largest group. They would split up when there were more than 50 huts.
"Caw caw!" Lin heard a noise coming from nearby. The pompom flew in the direction of the noise and found the White Skeleton Dragons living behind a big stone.
The situation was a little strange. A large group of White Skeleton Dragons were surrounding one White Skeleton Dragon. The White Skeleton Dragon's hands were clenched tightly, as if it was holding something.
"Caw!" The White Skeleton Dragon holding the object shouted. It was protecting the object in its hands and threatening the other White Skeleton Dragons to stay away.
Lin already knew what it was holding because she could feel the brainwaves coming from it.
Unfortunately, no other White Skeleton Dragons supported it. Two White Skeleton Dragons rushed forward and pressed it to the ground. One of them stepped on its hand so hard that the object in its hand fell out.
As expected, it was a red crystal.
"Caw!" A few White Skeleton Dragons picked up the crystal that fell out. Then, all the other White Skeleton Dragons turned around and left, leaving the White Skeleton Dragon holding the crystal lying on the ground …
Lin Luoran had never seen a White Skeleton Dragon divided like this before. It was indeed the effect of the crystal.
Lin followed the group of White Skeleton Dragons. After a few hundred meters, they arrived at a strange place. There was a small mountain of rocks here. On the top of the mountain, there was a rock. Some red crystals were placed.
A White Skeleton Dragon climbed up the mountain and placed the crystal on the top of the mountain. There were five of them in total? They had collected so many split-brain crystals.
After they were placed, the Humerus Dragons stood around the hill, and began to chant something that no one could understand. They even began to dance and dance.
White Skeleton Dragons and White Skeleton Dragons did not have a complete language. They usually used the common language "Caw." However, it was quite versatile and could contain many meanings.
Crack! Just as the White Skeleton Dragons were performing this strange ritual, the crystals on the mountain shattered in an instant.
"Caw?" The White Skeleton Dragons looked at the mountain as if they had been awakened. When they saw the flying shards, they immediately rushed up like crazy! But when he was halfway there, he stopped again …
Why did they do that? That must be what they were thinking now.
These White Skeleton Dragons should be returning to normal soon. The pompom had no time to observe them now. It continued to move forward to see if more White Skeleton Dragons or White Skeleton Dragons were affected.
In the following day and night, the pompom continued to move upstream with the flow of the water. Just as Lin thought, it found many groups that were affected. Most of them were White Skeleton Dragons. In fact, there were very few White Skeleton Dragons. After they were affected, they would basically build a strange building and worship the split-brain crystal. They would also throw the corpses of their dead companions into the river …
This phenomenon kept happening on both sides of the river. Lin speculated that the crystals flowed down from the river and were picked up by the White Skeleton Dragons on the river bank. Lin went to investigate some groups that were further away from the river and did not find any such phenomenon …
Along the way, Lin 'rescued' dozens of White Skeleton Dragon groups. Apart from the group she saw at the beginning, most of them were small groups with only a dozen or so White Skeleton Dragons in each group. The worship buildings they built were different from each group. As for the size of each building, it was related to the size of the group.
In other words, the source of the problem was flowing upstream. There must be something going on there. Could it be that they could find another mastermind of the Atte Tribe? However, they should be a branch-type species with a single brain.
The pompom followed the river upstream. After walking for more than a hundred kilometers, it finally saw … the end of the river. (To be continued. Continue reading.)
