A world without conflict... without deceit? A world where every member could live happily?
Perhaps this place was unimaginable for Fei Mao, but it was true. Perhaps it was just like a dream for the Emerald Dragon...
The longer Fei Mao lived here, the more Lin noticed that his thoughts changed. Fei Mao did not try to tell the Skeleton Dragons about the way of life of the Emerald Dragons, or anything else. He did not try to change the Skeleton Dragons or deceive them. Instead, Fei Mao was completely 'melted' by the life here.
Lin believed that perhaps every Emerald Dragon had a place like this in the depths of their thoughts. There was no competition, only joy. Fei Mao used to be a very 'scheming' Emerald Dragon, but after coming here, he had completely abandoned those thoughts.
Lin noticed that Fei Mao would be chanting something excitedly every night. It seemed to be thanking something he worshipped, thanking it for letting him drift to such a wonderful place.
Fei Mao's thoughts changed rapidly. At the same time, he was also trying very hard to learn the way of life of the Skeleton Dragons here.
Living among the towering trees, it could be said that every day and night was a time of joy. The sounds of singing would always echo in the forest. The resources of the Skeleton Dragons were usually piled up in a few fixed spots in the center of the Dragon's Roost. There was no one to distribute them. Every Skeleton Dragon would take a certain amount of food according to their own situation. No one would try to take more, so there was no need for any guards.
The cubs were always playing in the forest. The Skeleton Dragons still used the same way they used to educate their cubs. They would not teach their cubs too much. Instead, they let the cubs observe on their own. Usually, the cubs could move around the forest city on their own. They could observe how weapons were forged, how armor was sewn, how stone paintings and statues were made, and so on.
They could also play around. Playing around could also be considered a form of training. It was very helpful for improving their hunting skills in the future.
The cubs' food was also concentrated in a few different places. The cubs would go and get it themselves.
Fei Mao was very surprised at the degree of freedom the cubs here had. Emerald Dragon cubs were sent to 'school' regularly to study not long after they were born. They had to learn a lot of knowledge every day and night. There was no time to play. It was the same for both commoners and nobles. They already felt a considerable amount of pressure when they were young.
But here, the cubs only had joy.
Because there was no detailed division of labor and no pressure on the members, there were many inventors among the Skeleton Dragons. Some Skeleton Dragons would always try to piece together new things, including weapons, armors, or other things. Unlike the Emerald Dragons, most of the Emerald Dragons had no time to do these things due to the pressure of various things. Some Emerald Dragons that managed to become commoners were also busy enjoying themselves. Only a small number of Emerald Dragons specialized in manufacturing. Because of this, the items made by Skeleton Dragons were much better than those made by Emerald Dragons.
Javelin also discovered that the Skeleton Dragon was not only good at making things, but also good at eating.
In addition to meat, the main food of the Skeleton Dragons was the 'energy fruits' of the Dragon Perch.
This was also what surprised Javelin. This kind of tree would produce a kind of fruit that looked like a small purple ball. But unlike ordinary plants, it could be produced at any time. It was much better than those plants that could only be harvested at regular intervals.
These balls usually appeared on tree trunks or even in treehouses. They were very delicious. At the same time, the Skeleton Dragons were also good at mixing these balls with other food to make more delicious food or drinks.
In return, the Skeleton Dragons would grind most of the leftover bones and food scraps and bury them next to the roots as nutrition for the Dragon Perch. At the same time, they also needed to help the Dragon Perch clean up.
But the Skeleton Dragons would not always enjoy themselves. Fei Mao could often hear the clanging of weapons. There were always some Skeleton Dragons training with each other and honing their strength.
The Skeleton Dragons trained like this to protect this place. They knew that there might be dangerous creatures outside, but the most important thing was to participate in hunts. They often went to distant places to hunt various large dinosaurs or groups of dinosaurs.
After that, Fei Mao had the opportunity to participate in one of the Skeleton Dragons' hunts.
Hunting. This was perhaps the only place where the Skeleton Dragons competed.
From each hunt, the skeletal dragons would choose the next leader candidate based on the performance of each member. The candidate would have to go through a lot before he could become the leader.
That was how Lidl became the leader. When he was young, he found Lin's pom-poms. He should have been chosen as the leader, but after Lin told Tucker about it, they didn't want to choose him again. However, Lidl still relied on his own efforts to become the leader …
The Skeleton Dragons' performance during the hunt was mainly to show off their hunting skills, not to harm their own kind. No Skeleton Dragon would try to squeeze other Skeleton Dragons to make themselves look better, nor would they try to fabricate achievements. In fact, Skeleton Dragons did not even have the concept of 'deceiving their own kind'.
Lin had contributed to the current development of the Skeleton Dragons. Otherwise, the Skeleton Dragons might have lived a life similar to the Emerald Dragons.
If one thought about it carefully, that kind of life was indeed 'uncomfortable'. It was not easy for creatures who lived a difficult life to gather together, create things, and defend against external enemies. But when they slowly grew stronger and were no longer threatened by the terrifying creatures outside, they still lived a difficult life. And this time, the threat changed from the creatures outside to their own kind.
Most of the Emerald Dragons never found happiness. They just escaped from one kind of competition and fell into another. Their pain seemed to have never stopped. In fact, it seemed to have become even more bitter. At least, there were no suicides in the past.
Perhaps when the Emerald Dragons realized that the threat came from their own kind, their thoughts changed. They felt that everything was unreliable and became more and more selfish...
In the past, they relied on the unity of the group to obtain resources together.
Although Lin found that some Emerald Dragons would try to help their own kind for free, their numbers were too small to change the current situation.
But for Fei Mao, he could not understand how these Skeleton Dragons could live such a wonderful life. Why were their thoughts so different from the Emerald Dragons? Fei Mao could not understand these, and he had tried to find the answer.
The Skeleton Dragons also worshipped many things. In this forest, there were statues of these worshipped things. Although there were many things to worship, the thing that the Skeleton Dragons worshipped the most was still — the pompom.
Although Fei Mao did not know what it was, seeing how the Skeleton Dragons worshipped it, Fei Mao also began to worship the pompom. He believed that this would bring him happiness.
In fact, he had already obtained it.
After living with the Skeleton Dragons for a while and seeing everything here, Fei Mao seemed to have made up his mind to live here, learn the language here, and forget everything in the past...
This was a good idea. In the beginning, Lin was worried that Fei Mao would affect the Skeleton Dragons' habits, but it seemed that the possibility was relatively low.
Now, Fei Mao seemed to be worried about the Skeleton Dragons. Lin found that he often stood on high places and looked in the direction of Emerald Dragon City. He was obviously afraid.
Fei Mao liked this place very much, so he was afraid that the Susumi would attack this place. Many times, the Skeleton Dragon that lived with him asked Fei Mao about the Emerald Dragon community, but Fei Mao did not say anything.
Lin realized that Fei Mao was afraid that this place would be attacked. Fei Mao liked this place, but it did not mean that the other Emerald Dragons would like this place. They might be interested in the resources here, like how the Dragon Perch Wood was superior to other plants, so they might want to plunder this Skeleton Dragon City... This was what the so-called individualistic creatures were like. Their personalities were different, and the whole community could not be judged by the thoughts of one member.
Therefore, Javelin completely avoided mentioning anything about the Emerald Dragon City to the other Skeleton Dragons. It didn't want them to communicate with each other. It didn't even speak the language of the Emerald Dragons. Instead, it tried to learn the language of the Skeleton Dragons.
Fei Mao almost thought of himself as a Skeleton Dragon.
However, the Skeleton Dragons were also very curious about the green creatures. Even if Fei Mao did not mention it, they might follow the river upstream to take a look. There was still a chance that they would come across an Emerald Dragon City.
Lin did not think there was much to worry about, because any Skeleton Dragon could participate in the hunt. Almost every Skeleton Dragon was good at fighting. Although they lived a happy life, they were not weak at all. They would not back down in a fight, nor would they run away in fear, which made them quite powerful.
However, it was also possible that an Emerald Dragon would 'mix' with the Skeleton Dragons and cause their habits to change. If that was the case, Lin would have to deal with it...
Lin did not care about the other species, but the Skeleton Dragons had to be kept in this state.
The two species would interact sooner or later. Fei Mao was so surprised when he saw the Skeleton Dragons' town. What would the Skeleton Dragons think when they saw the Emerald Dragons' city? However, the Skeleton Dragons would definitely be captured and enslaved if they went there.
That being said, they would not communicate with each other so soon.
While Fei Mao was living with the Skeleton Dragons, Susumi also returned to the city with the search party.
Mukla reported to Susumi about the nobles who tried to fight for the throne when he left. Susumi, however, decided to put the matter aside for now.
Because a war was about to break out. Floating astronomy.
