When the meteor streaked across the sky, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Although there was still a long time before the next full moon that Lin had been waiting for, it wasn't like she had nothing to do now. Various creatures were developing rapidly, especially the Emerald Dragons. They had formed a huge community. Lin decided not to just observe them, but to get in touch with them.
This should be … … very interesting.
In the depths of the dinosaur continent, in the distant southern forest, a green creature gently landed on the ground … …
In front of the creature was a wall that was ten meters tall. It was made of square stones piled up together. Some of them looked old, and there was a lot of moss growing on them.
Sure enough, it felt different up close. It was a very spectacular sight.
The green creature looked at the wall and took a few steps back. Then, it suddenly sprinted and jumped halfway up the wall.
It was only about 1.8 meters tall, but it could jump almost five meters high. This should be considered … normal.
The creature looked exactly like an Emerald Dragon. In fact, it was a creature created by Lin to imitate the Emerald Dragons. Lin wanted to use this new 'spy' to infiltrate the Emerald Dragon community. Now, in front of Lin was a rock wall made by the Emerald Dragons. This wall surrounded all the boulders and the Emerald Dragons' living quarters. Lin didn't accurately calculate how wide it was, but it was undoubtedly increasing. The Emerald Dragons used this wall to completely isolate their living quarters from the forest outside.
The wall was originally built to prevent large carnivorous creatures from attacking because the average large carnivorous dinosaur was no more than six meters tall. However, building this thing consumed a lot of resources and energy … … Moreover, it was only able to defend against large ones. It couldn't defend against small ones. Some small carnivorous dinosaurs could rely on their unique hooked claws to climb in. This had always been a problem.
The spy began to walk along the wall to the left. After walking for about a hundred meters, Lin saw the entrance.
The entrance was about five meters wide. On both sides stood an Emerald Dragon draped in dinosaur skin and holding a bone spear. When Lin's spy walked in front of them, they looked at him in confusion. However, they didn't do anything.
The main purpose of standing here was to prevent creatures from running in from the entrance. When they saw that the spy was one of their kind, they wouldn't think of stopping him.
After entering the entrance, a completely different scene appeared in front of Lin. This place could no longer be called a 'village' or a 'community'. It could be … … called a 'city'.
Lin was currently standing on a flat road carved out of pure white rocks. Under the scorching sun, it reflected a gorgeous light. Countless Emerald Dragons were walking back and forth on this white rocky road. Some of them were dragging rocks, some carrying meat... Some of the Emerald Dragons were carrying ceramic objects of various shapes on their heads. Each of the Emerald Dragons seemed to be very busy. They formed a green river that flowed slowly in the area called the city.
There were all kinds of stone buildings on both sides of the road. Most of these buildings were square in shape. Most of them were residential areas, while some had other uses.
Lin slowly moved forward and entered the Emerald Dragons. This place was a completely different world from the forest outside the wall. Although they were also as green and full of vitality as the forest, they gave Lin a monotonous feeling.
There were a lot of Emerald Dragons. Lin didn't count them carefully. Perhaps there were more than a hundred thousand of them.
Countless voices kept echoing in the spy's auditory organs. Lin could distinguish every word in detail, but most of them were meaningless shouts and quarrels.
Right in front of Lin was an Emerald Dragon. Its feet were covered with a piece of horned dragon skin. On top of the skin were some ceramics and dried meat. This Emerald Dragon was displaying its items to see who would be willing to trade with it. Suddenly, Lin noticed a small Emerald Dragon stealthily approaching. The Emerald Dragon took a piece of dried meat from the horned dragon skin and immediately turned around to flee.
The Emerald Dragon who was displaying the items noticed the small Emerald Dragon running away. It quickly chased after the small Emerald Dragon, kicked the small Emerald Dragon, and took the jerky back …
This phenomenon was actually very common here. Lin thought it was the result of uneven distribution. Originally, the Emerald Dragons raised their offspring together. However, after Susumi and some high-ranking Emerald Dragons believed that their offspring should inherit their status, the habit of raising their offspring together changed. The Emerald Dragons raised their offspring alone. Some Emerald Dragons couldn't get enough resources because of their jobs and other problems. They couldn't raise their offspring and could only abandon them. That was how these small Emerald Dragons were born.
And there were quite a lot of them.
After the change, the Emerald Dragons were usually raised by a male and female pair. They also lived together in the same house. However, even if two Emerald Dragons worked together, it was sometimes difficult to get enough resources.
The small Emerald Dragon that was kicked curled up on the ground. Lin could feel its extreme sadness. This phenomenon was … strange.
This group of Emerald Dragons had formed their own kingdom. They used the towering walls to isolate themselves from danger. However, in this kingdom, they treated their own kind as enemies. Quarrels and injuries were always happening. The competition was not over yet.
"I need two pieces of skin for mine!"
"Two pieces? One piece is already too much! "
Just as Lin was thinking, she suddenly saw a pair of Emerald Dragons arguing by the roadside not far away. One of them was holding something made of ceramic, while the other was holding a pile of Turkey Dragon skins.
They seemed to be arguing because of a trade. The two Emerald Dragons were arguing more and more. The one with the ceramic looked like it was about to attack.
Just then, an Emerald Dragon with a weapon came over. The two Emerald Dragons immediately stopped arguing and walked away with their things.
Some Emerald Dragons with weapons were often seen walking around on the road. They were the 'better treated' Susumi 'guards.' They were mainly responsible for everything related to combat. Generally, they would also stop other Emerald Dragons from arguing or fighting with each other. Some of the more rowdy Emerald Dragons would be captured and enslaved by the guards. As their territory was still expanding, they needed a lot of workers.
Therefore, the Emerald Dragons would usually run away and stop arguing when they saw the guards. But because of this, the Emerald Dragons' minds were always filled with fear. Many of them often had to endure hunger and other pains.
This was indeed a big problem. It wasn't easy for a species to develop to the point where they weren't affected by the various carnivorous creatures, the cold, and the environment outside and become a 'top creature'. But now, they were suffering more and more.
However, the Emerald Dragons wouldn't slowly die out like the Mad Scorpions. After all, their numbers were still increasing and the system between them was constantly changing. It was hard to say if the Emerald Dragons could live a better life, but at least they could maintain their stability.
But if they encountered a real opponent, it would be hard to say.
The spy continued to stroll in the Emerald Dragon city. Green figures were still busy around her. Was there only one species in such a large area? It seemed that the species that caused this phenomenon in the past had almost all been wiped out by Lin.
But this place wasn't always green. Lin saw a white figure in front of her. They were dragging a vine that was tied to a large rock.
A few Emerald Dragon guards with weapons stood on both sides of the rock. The Emerald Dragons passing by quickly made way for them.
The white figures that were moving the stones were all Skeletal Dragons. They were usually around two meters tall, much taller than the 1.8 meter Emerald Dragons. However, the Skeletal Dragons nearby had all been defeated by Susumi. She had captured many of them and used them as slaves.
The Skeletal Dragons dragged the rock with all their might and walked past the spy. They had always been asked to do this kind of hard work. They were the ones who suffered the most, but they couldn't do anything about it. Some of the Skeletal Dragons outside had noticed Susumi's attack and gathered together. But because there were too few of them, it was difficult for them to put up any effective resistance.
Lin followed behind the Skeletal Dragons slowly. She wanted to see what they were building. After a while, an Emerald Dragon guard suddenly turned around and asked, "Why are you following them?"
The spy replied, "I'm following them. What's the problem?"
"Don't cause trouble." After saying this, the guard turned around and continued walking.
Some Emerald Dragons tried to snatch the guards' weapons, which was why they were nervous. But as long as they didn't do anything, there was nothing they could do.
The White Skeleton Dragons dragged the boulder that weighed several tons forward with all their might. One of the White Skeleton Dragons seemed to have reached its limit and collapsed on the ground. Two Emerald Dragon Guards immediately went over to drag it away while the rest of the White Skeleton Dragons continued to drag the boulder.
In the beginning, the Emerald Dragons treated the Skeletal Dragons badly. Usually, they would wake them up and continue working. But because of this, many of the Skeletal Dragons died, and there weren't many of them left. So now the situation was better. If a Skeletal Dragon fainted, the Emerald Dragons would wake them up and continue working.
But this was only a little better …
