It hid in the shadows of the trees, its eyes fixed on its target. The tip of its spear was covered in poison dart frog venom. It was very patient, waiting for an opportunity.
Fei Mao, this special Emerald Dragon, had a very clear target — Mukla, who had just jumped down from the back of the viper. To deal with Mukla, Fei Mao had deliberately covered its spear with poison.
These amphibious creatures called poison dart frogs were unique to the dinosaur continent. Usually, amphibious creatures like salamanders had poisonous skin, but poison dart frogs took advantage of this to the extreme. They did not produce their own venom, but stored it in their skin by eating various poisonous creatures. Just touching the venom could cause a strong nerve venom to seep into the body and cause death. However, Fei Mao was obviously very good at dealing with these creatures. Its spear covered in poison was now extremely lethal …
The javelin was now on the trunk of a tree, and Mukla happened to be walking past it with his troops. This opponent's timing was perfect, but what would be the point if he succeeded in killing Mukla? Would it jump out to command the troops again? The other Emerald Dragons would definitely be suspicious.
The Emerald Dragons had a rule that they could not kill their own kind. No matter if it was a noble or a commoner, those who killed their own kind would be forever enslaved.
In fact, the Emerald Dragons rarely killed their own kind. At most, they would steal things, because they would only be enslaved for a short period of time. However, killing their own kind was quite serious.
Fei Mao seemed to ignore this serious problem. It raised its spear high and aimed at Mukla, who was under the tree.
Whoosh!
With a sound of piercing through the air, the spear stabbed firmly into the ground … half a meter in front of Mukla. Before Fei Mao threw the spear, Mukla had already leaped. It instantly leaped back. It dodged the attack.
The moment the spear stabbed into the ground. Mukla and the few guards behind it immediately looked up at the tree, but there was nothing there.
When it saw Mukla dodging, the javelin immediately hid behind the tree trunk. It must be wondering why Mukla was able to dodge it.
Of course, Mukla did not dodge because he felt that he was about to be attacked. He had long expected Fei Mao to attack him.
Mukla did not notice where Fei Mao was. But when Mukla dismounted from the Viper, it had been paying attention to its surroundings. Perhaps it had realized where Fei Mao might be hiding, and was also familiar with when Fei Mao would attack it. Mukla had been paying close attention to its surroundings.
Just as Fei Mao was about to attack him, Mukla saw the emerald green figure on the tree … and thus, he was able to dodge …
Lin realized that the Emerald Dragons were really good at scheming. Their thoughts in this regard were quite complicated. One side was constantly thinking about how to scheme against their own kind, while the other side was constantly thinking about how not to be schemed against by their own kind.
'Same kind' was the key word … These creatures were truly selfish. Lin even suspected that they were no longer social creatures. It was just that a single Emerald Dragon couldn't survive in the wild, so they had no choice but to live in groups.
Fei Mao probably didn't just want to kill Mukla. He might even want to eliminate the entire search party. Of course, it was almost impossible for him to do it alone, but he could borrow the strength of some creatures in the forest. Then, he could go back and say that the search party was destroyed for some reason, and he could officially become the king.
Of course, that was impossible now.
"Go, he's hiding there!" Following Mukla's roar, the surrounding guards immediately climbed up the tree. Fei Mao saw that and did not hide anymore. He jumped out from behind the tree trunk, then jumped directly from the tree to the ground and ran into the depths of the forest.
"Go! Don't let him get away, we must get rid of him! " Mukla led a group of guards and immediately chased after Fei Mao. Mukla seemed determined to catch him.
Fei Mao ran very fast and nimbly. He constantly burrowed into all kinds of complicated branches and leaves in an attempt to shake off the troops that were chasing him. But Mukla's troops were not only Emerald Dragons, but also dozens of Electric Gnomes. They were good at tracking.
In fact, when Fei Mao was following the troops, the Electric Gnomes had already noticed him, but because they were familiar with Fei Mao, they did not have any special reaction. But now, they also saw Fei Mao's attack and thought that Fei Mao was a hostile target.
The Gnomes rushed to the front. They followed Fei Mao with a special way of detecting scent. No matter how Fei Mao hid, they could still chase after him.
After rushing through a bush, Fei Mao felt a little tired. The moment he stopped, a Gnome jumped out of the bush, opened his mouth, and bit Fei Mao's leg.
Fei Mao immediately pulled the Gnome down and kicked him away. Once again, he continued to run with his bleeding leg. More Gnomes rushed out of the bush and bit Fei Mao's leg, trying to restrict his movement.
Throwing Spear kicked away the nearest dwarf. At this moment, there was a 'whoosh!' 'whoosh!' A few arrows were stuck in the soil around Fei Mao. All the Gnomes also pounced on Fei Mao and bit him all over. At this time, Mukla arrived with his troops.
Although killing one's own kind would only make one a slave and not die, in fact, Fei Mao was still resisting, so the other Emerald Dragons had no problem killing him.
Mukla and the guards did not say a word. They raised their bows and aimed at Fei Mao's head and heart.
As the arrows bounced off the bowstring, the javelin suddenly bent down, causing all the arrows to miss. Then, it directly fell to the ground and kept rolling, shaking off all the midgets on its body. It also rolled into a patch of grass.
Lin felt that his survival instinct was quite strong, but it was meaningless. Mukla had just sent some of his troops back to the city. They would inform the city about Fei Mao's whereabouts. This way, Fei Mao would never be able to return to the city.
And it was hard to say whether he could survive now. There was a lot of blood on the ground, and his scent was constantly 'telling' where he was.
However, Mukla was more prepared. He sent his troops back to the city in advance to prevent any possibility of Fei Mao escaping.
Mukla led the troops to dig through the bush and followed the blood trail. They soon found Fei Mao's hiding place … It was a cave.
The cave was more than two meters in diameter. It was bottomless. Fei Mao's blood trail extended deep into the cave. A few Gnomes circled around the outside of the cave, unwilling to go in.
"This … is the cave of the Sand Worm. They have never been so far away." Mukla looked at the cave. He was now very hesitant to go in.
The Sand Worm was a large worm with a body length of more than ten meters. It lived at the edge of the forest far away. It was also recorded on the 'Dangerous Creatures Slate' by the Emerald Dragons. In fact, some Emerald Dragons even worshipped this creature.
Of course, these things that could burrow into the ground were quite difficult to deal with. They were much more dangerous than the large carnivorous dinosaurs. If Fei Mao ran into the cave, there was a chance that he would be eaten by the worm, but there was also a chance that he would survive. If Mukla decided to wait for him to come out, it would be troublesome if the worm appeared. This kind of elusive monster could easily destroy the whole team!
Lin knew that Mukla was worried about another problem. The worm was too close to the city, and it would be a threat to the city. It was strange for the underground worm to suddenly change its habitat and come to the depths of the forest that it had never been to before. This kind of worm's adaptability was not very strong. It had a high requirement for the quality of the soil. For it to suddenly come here … it might mean that something had happened in the distance.
"You guys, go back to the city and report." Mukela immediately gave the order, and the Emerald Dragons immediately rushed back. Mukela then ordered the rest of the guards to disperse and hide in the nearby trees, bushes, and bushes. Mukela still chose to wait for the flying spear, to see if it would come out …
The worm relied on a special sense of smell to find its prey. Ordinary hiding was useless, but Mukla seemed to be willing to take the risk. It had already ordered the guards to run immediately if the worm came out, and shoot Fei Mao to death when he came out!
As for going into the cave to look for him, it was probably impossible …
Lin felt that it was unlikely that Mukla would wait for Fei Mao to come out. Fei Mao obviously knew that Mukla and the others were blocking him from going out. Lin's Flyer had already flown into the cave. She saw Fei Mao trying to cover the bite wounds on his body with soil while trying to observe the situation outside …
The two sides formed a stalemate that lasted for a few thousand seconds. During this time, Fei Mao tried to poke his head out to check, but the arrows that were shot at him in an instant made him understand that there was no way he could go out.
Both sides stayed like this until night fell. Mukla still did not give up. He even ordered the guards to light a fire next to the cave entrance to prevent Fei Mao from escaping under the cover of the night …
Fei Mao did not seem to have any intention of coming out anymore. He made a very bold move. Lin noticed that he was crawling deeper into the cave. Based on Lin's speculation, this worm cave might have been left here a few days ago. The worm might not be here, but there could also be a collapse or something like that happening inside.
However, Fei Mao did not encounter such a situation. Lin followed him deeper into the cave. The cave was not winding, but a relatively straight path.
Fei Mao kept moving forward inside, waiting for the night to pass. When the day came, he saw a light not far ahead.
That was … the exit! There were no worms in the cave! When they found the exit, Lin could clearly feel Javelin's joy. Javelin quickly ran out of the cave. Lin found that there was a river bank outside the cave. She could see a wide torrent surging unceasingly … It was as if she was floating in the sky.
