Rin thought that Susumi would be in the depths of the palace. Why would she be here? She stared at her own statue as if deep in thought.
Other than the statue, the palace was surrounded by entrances to other rooms. Susumi didn't like decorations like the other Emerald Dragons, so this place was very spacious. There were no guards here, but there were some Electric Gnomes running around on the ground. Some of them were even sleeping on the ground.
Electric Gnomes were actually only found in the Upper Zone. They used to be used to capture wyverns, but now they were also used to hunt for prey. Normally, the Emerald Dragons of the Lower Zone wouldn't be able to come into contact with these creatures.
At the same time, they were also used to guard the Upper Zone Emerald Dragons' residences to prevent other Emerald Dragons from stealing anything. At the same time, they could also be used to catch jade that was everywhere.
However, when Rin created this spy, she had added a special scent that the Electric Gnomes couldn't identify. With the perfect camouflage ability, they wouldn't be able to detect the spy's location.
Rin quietly approached Susumi from behind. The cub was already fully grown up. Due to her experiences as a child and the various battles she went through to become a king, she was much stronger than the average Emerald Dragon.
After some observation, Rin noticed that the guards were also usually stronger. This was a result of their division of labor and inheritance, which led to the differences between the Emerald Dragons.
Rin didn't know what Susumi was thinking. Perhaps it was because of 'that' new problem that she recently encountered.
"My Queen." Suddenly, an Emerald Dragon wearing horned dragon skin walked out from the door on the right. It said to Susumi, "The South, the situation is more dangerous." Then it quickly walked back into the room.
"As expected." Susumi turned around. She followed the Emerald Dragon into the room. Lin quickly followed him in.
The room wasn't as spacious as it used to be. The entire place was occupied by a stone slab that was more than 10 meters long and wide. There were many small stones, branches, sand, and other things on the slab. If one looked closely, they would find that it was a map of the nearby area.
There were also large egg-shaped stones and various small carvings of Skeleton Dragon houses. It looked very interesting. Susumi had even made a map of the entire city. Here, it could be seen that a large number of small houses were surrounded by a wall, and the surrounding forest was represented by a large number of branches.
There were also various dinosaur figurines placed in some places, probably to indicate where the creatures would appear. This was quite an elaborate design. Susumi was not as fond of enjoying life as other Upper Emerald Dragons, so she made many practical things.
Susumi and the Emerald Dragon were mainly concerned about the south of the map. Lin had taught Susumi the concept of north, south, east, and west, and it was later widely used.
In the southernmost part of the map, there were some strange trees. These were Crystal Trees. However, crystals were not easy to obtain, so they were replaced by statues made of white stones.
In the vicinity of the crystal forest. There was also a statue of a strange arthropod.
It was a Standing Scorpion. They still lived near the crystal forest, and now they had developed into a rather large community.
The Standing Scorpion community could be said to be a little special … It was probably because they were separated from the Atte community. Although these Standing Scorpions behaved exactly like other creatures when they first encountered them, now they had developed in a completely different direction. They were different from the Emerald Dragons, and also different from the Skeleton Dragons. They had developed into a unique system …
Although there were not many Standing Scorpions that escaped at the beginning, as arthropods, their reproduction speed was quite fast. Moreover, they were the closest to the Emerald Dragons. For the Emerald Dragons, they were indeed an extremely powerful opponent. The Standing Scorpions were not comparable to those small communities of Skeleton Dragons.
Susumi looked at the small Standing Scorpion statues on the map. Various emotions emerged in her mind. Some of them were more irritated. She was probably regretting not attacking the Standing Scorpions earlier.
At first, the leaders objected to Susumi attacking the Standing Scorpions. However, after that, Susumi had gotten rid of these leaders. However, Susumi was busy with various things and did not deal with the Standing Scorpions. Now, they had become a huge problem.
"Mukla, how many of them are there?" Susumi asked the Emerald Dragon. It seemed to be called Mukla. The Emerald Dragons were very casual when it came to naming things.
"According to the report of the Wyvern Knights, there are about thirty thousand of them," Mukla replied.
"Thirty thousand …" Susumi fell into deep thought again. Although there were a lot of Emerald Dragons, not all of them could fight. Susumi's troops made up about twenty percent of the community. This number was enough to manage the community, but it might not be enough to deal with the battles outside …
If there were not enough guards, Susumi might have to find temporary Emerald Dragons from the Normal Level to replenish her troops.
The male and female Emerald Dragons had the same physique, so they could both fight. However, this would inevitably cause many of their young to be abandoned.
Susumi also had to deal with various problems within the community. Now that there was a possibility of a war, Susumi seemed to be having a hard time making a decision.
Rin thought that they should also be involved in a war, but Susumi did not seem to want to settle things peacefully.
With that thought in mind, Rin quietly walked up to Susumi and said, "Why don't you try to communicate with them?"
"Communicate? That's impossible! " Susumi shouted without thinking. It was only then that she realized that there was nothing around her. She was stunned and said, "Who's talking?!"
Mukla was also shocked by Susumi's sudden outburst. He quickly asked, "My Queen, what's wrong?"
"There's something here …" Susumi looked around and immediately squawked. A few electric gnomes immediately ran into the room. Without needing Susumi to say anything, they began to search the room.
Mukla became nervous when he saw this. He shouted loudly and a group of guards immediately rushed in.
"Guard this place! Something's coming in! " Under Mukla's orders, the guards spread out and searched everywhere with the gnomes. They had seen creatures with strong hiding abilities before, which was why they were so nervous.
Although they could not find the spy, Rin thought that there was no need to continue hiding. With that thought, the spy revealed himself in front of the Emerald Dragons.
