"Stop!" Black Pepper shouted. The entire army stopped in the forest. They were now about two kilometers away from the pyramid. Although they could not see it clearly in the forest, Black Pepper had no problem in the air.
This pyramid was newly erected. The erector scorpions mainly used a kind of saliva to glue a large amount of sand and special stone fragments together to create this kind of tall building. Usually, the height of a pyramid was about 30 meters, and some were even higher.
In fact, Lin did not know what the lizards were thinking. Although the lizards did not show any signs of attacking the Emerald Dragons, they kept building pyramids in the direction of the Emerald Dragon City. Some lizards would leave the group to investigate further. They had seen the Emerald Dragon City before, but they had never come close.
At this time, most of the Emerald Dragons were lying down to rest because they were tired from walking. However, some of them were still very nervous.
Black Pepper was circling in the sky on his viper. He slowly flew closer to the pyramid. Lin noticed that he was using a special item called the 'Distant Tree' to observe the target from the sky.
The Distant Gazing Wood was the newest invention of the Emerald Dragons. First, they prepared to use a hollow piece of wood. Then, they stuffed a transparent round beetle shell into the front and back of the wood. After that, they would be able to see very far by picking up the wood.
This was probably the result of an emerald dragon accidentally looking at two beetles together and realizing that they were closer together. These beetles with a transparent convex carapace were called 'star eggs' by the emerald dragons. The nobles liked to use them as decorations.
These things eventually became useful in war, but they were very few in number. Black Pepper was probably the only one in the entire army who had a 'Distant Tree'.
Black Pepper was not the only one looking at the pyramid. Lin's spy could not see the situation clearly from below. However, the floating eyeball could observe from the same position as Black Pepper. Lin saw that there was no movement at the pyramid. Not a single lizard was outside.
Could it be that they were all hiding inside?
Black Pepper was also puzzled by the absence of a single lizard. He looked for a while before turning around to fly back.
"Send out the reconnaissance team!" Black Pepper shouted in the sky. "We can't see clearly from the sky. We need a team to scout!"
"Caw?" When the Emerald Dragons below heard this, they all looked at each other. They had only been trained to line up and did not have a detailed division at all. No one knew who was supposed to be the scout …
Although the purpose of this unit was to test the opponent's fighting style. However, they couldn't just casually rush to the pyramid to seek death … Even if they hadn't experienced war, they could feel that there was no one there. It was too suspicious.
However, perhaps there was no need to rush over there to seek death.
Now, Lin could hear some sounds … … the sound of leaves rubbing against each other in the surrounding forest, the sound of moving creatures … … however, due to the dense forest, she could not see anything at all.
"What's that?" Other Emerald Dragons also noticed the sounds in the forest. They immediately shouted, "Be careful, there's something around us!"
"Is there something?" The emerald dragons who had been resting on the ground immediately stood up and looked around nervously.
"Could this be …" Black Pepper, who was in the sky, also noticed the abnormality below. The jungle around the entire army began to stir … The trees and leaves were shaking.
"Defend! Attention! Defense! They're in the woods! "
The moment Black Pepper shouted these words, the surrounding forest suddenly shook violently. Suddenly, countless figures rushed out from the trees and bushes. Their bodies were covered in carapace, and they held spears made of rocks in their hands as they pounced on the emerald dragons.
The emerald dragons barely had time to react. The emerald dragons at the outermost perimeter were instantly pierced by the spears of the scorpions and fell to the ground. Their old skins did not provide any protection at all.
All the emerald dragons were frightened by this. They kept squeezing in in panic, as if they had forgotten to fight back. However, these scorpions were really powerful. Lin did not even notice when they had surrounded them, although spies did not have any detection abilities.
Is it really not working? Lin's spies were closer to the periphery of the army. They could see that many emerald dragons were killed without even being able to resist.
"Quickly fight back! Don't be afraid, there aren't many of them! " Black Pepper shouted with all his might in the sky. Finally, some emerald dragons began to react. They began to use the weapons in their hands to block the scorpions' attacks and counterattack.
"Ga!" One of the emerald dragons shouted and stabbed the scorpions' chest with its wooden spear. However, the scorpions did not react because the wooden spear could not pierce through its carapace.
The scorpions slapped the emerald dragon's wooden spear away and stabbed the emerald dragon with its stone spear at the same time. However, its stone spear suddenly stopped halfway …
The scorpions turned around and saw another emerald dragon grabbing its arm. The dragon's powerful strength made it unable to move its arm.
The emerald dragon that grabbed the scorpions was Lin's spy. It was much stronger than the average emerald dragon. The spy twisted with force, and the scorpions screamed in pain. Lin then let go of the scorpions, and the scorpions immediately threw away their spears and fled into the forest.
As expected, equipment is also a problem … Lin looked around. Many emerald dragons were already fighting the scorpions with their weapons, but they could not penetrate the scorpions' carapace.
Moreover, because this group of emerald dragons had gathered at the last minute, none of them knew how to use a bow. However, in this situation, even if they did use a bow, they would still hit their companions.
However, the emerald dragons had another advantage, which was their numbers. Although the scorpions' sneak attack was very sudden, there were only a few hundred of them. After the emerald dragons realized this, they began to attack the scorpions together. Even if they could not penetrate the scorpions' carapace, as long as the scorpions were knocked to the ground and attacked continuously, cracks would still appear.
The emerald dragons' approach was really good. At first, Lin thought that they would all run around in panic. However, they managed to counterattack in time and did not further increase their losses.
The scorpions realized that they slowly lost their advantage in sneak attacks, so they immediately retreated into the forest and soon disappeared.
"They ran away!" After seeing the scorpions run away, many emerald dragons began to cheer. "We won! We won! "
"Very good!" At this time, Black Pepper's shout rang out in the sky. "Now, let's attack that large building!"
