Because Lin's spies had suddenly knocked out a hole, both sides just stared blankly at each other ….. This lasted for dozens of seconds. Suddenly, the standing scorpions moved first!
They let out sharp roars and rushed out of the hole in the pyramid wall like a swarm of insects! They rushed down the sloping wall and stabbed the emerald dragons below with their spears and other weapons.
The emerald dragons were first frightened by the roars of the standing scorpions, but they quickly reacted. One by one, they shouted excitedly and raised their weapons to meet the enemy!
The instant the weapons collided, the whole area echoed with the sound of weapons hitting each other. Lin retreated to a distant place to observe the battle.
Although Lin helped the emerald dragons to open the entrance of the pyramid, she did not intend to help them fight. Lin wanted to see how the emerald dragons would defeat the standing scorpions ….. or be defeated by the standing scorpions.
The standing scorpions' weapons were mainly made of special stones and sand. It was very similar to the way they built buildings. This' special stone 'was a kind of stone taken from underground. The emerald dragons would crush this stone and glue it with their saliva to form a very strong shape.
The emerald dragons' weapons were quite simple. They usually used a sharp stone tied to a wooden stick as a spear. However, they still had the advantage of numbers. A large number of emerald dragons kept stabbing the standing scorpions with their spears. This forced the standing scorpions to retreat. Some of the standing scorpions were pushed to the ground by a large number of spears, and then their shells were shattered by the continuous stabbing.
The blood of the standing scorpions stained the ground with a fishy liquid. The emerald dragons, on the other hand, did not suffer any losses. After experiencing several sneak attacks, their reactions were obviously much faster.
Under the constant siege of the emerald dragons. Almost all the standing scorpions that rushed out were killed. Some of them retreated to the hole. The emerald dragons also walked up the sloping wall, which led to a situation where a large group of emerald dragons blocked the only exit of the pyramid. The standing scorpions that came out were besieged by the emerald dragons.
This made it difficult for the Standing Scorpions to rush out and attack in large numbers. The Emerald Dragons constantly surrounded the Standing Scorpions with their spears and pushed them back into the cave. A large group of Emerald Dragons kept stabbing the Standing Scorpions with their spears, but the Standing Scorpions had already hidden deeper and no longer came out.
Some of the more excited Emerald Dragons directly rushed into the cave. But the moment it entered, it was pierced by countless scorpions …
Seeing this scene, the emerald dragons stayed outside the cave entrance, not daring to enter. But they still blocked the entrance, forming a similar situation as before. No one could attack each other.
However, this was clearly another victory for the Emerald Dragon. The Emerald Dragon was shouting outside, while the Standing Scorpion was very quiet inside, not moving at all.
At this time, Lin also squeezed her way to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, only to see the Scorpions holding spears in their hands. They were clearly waiting for another Emerald Dragon to jump in.
The lifestyle of the Lizards was very peculiar. Emerald Dragons usually liked to live in their own house, or with their young and mate. They did not like to be crowded together, but the standing scorpions were crowded together. Obviously, their way of life was closer to that of a division of labor than a creature of individuality.
The two sides continued to be in a stalemate. Lin felt that the Standing Scorpions were trying to stall for time. Every time they attacked, they would quickly retreat.
"Use fire to get them out!" Black Pepper shouted from the sky, "Quick, go and find some wood!"
This seemed to be a common way of hunting. When dealing with small creatures that dug holes, they would use this method to smoke them out.
Under Black Pepper's command, some of the Emerald Dragons brought dry wood, grass, and flint from the forest. They quickly built a bonfire on the grass. A few of the Emerald Dragons then burned the wood and threw it into the cave.
However, as soon as they threw the burning wood into the cave, the Standing Scorpions immediately rushed forward and stomped the fire out.
"You can't throw it like that!" Black Pepper shouted from above, "Light a fire in front of the cave and fan the smoke inside!"
The Emerald Dragons finally reacted. They quickly gathered a few large leaves and started a new bonfire near the cave. At the same time, Black Pepper asked them to gather some special branches. These branches would produce a lot of smoke when burned. The Emerald Dragons then used the leaves to fan the smoke into the cave.
At first, the Standing Scorpions did not show any special reaction. However, as more and more smoke entered the cave, the Emerald Dragons began to show signs of abnormality. They began to retreat deeper into the cave, but it still could not stop the smoke from entering the cave.
The pyramid of the Standing Scorpions was not completely sealed, but the ventilation system must be very poor. A lot of smoke would not disperse in a short period of time after entering the cave, which might cause damage to their respiratory system.
Many of the Emerald Dragons were yelling at the Standing Scorpions. Although the Standing Scorpions could not understand them, the smoke and noise made them even more uncomfortable.
"Hiss …" Some of the Standing Scorpions made strange noises as if they were starting to feel uncomfortable. If this continued, they would have to come out. Otherwise, they would all die from the smoke.
However, due to the smoke, the Emerald Dragons could not see what was going on inside the cave. They were also feeling uncomfortable from the smoke. Looking at their condition, Black Pepper shouted from the sky, "Get ready! They may come out at any time! Aim your spears at the cave entrance! "
"Hiss!" As soon as Black Pepper finished speaking, a Standing Scorpion suddenly rushed out of the smoke-filled cave! It swung its spear and destroyed the bonfire that the Emerald Dragons had built at the cave entrance. Then, it quickly retreated.
Only then did the Emerald Dragons react. They immediately built a new bonfire. This time, they were much more alert. Each of the Emerald Dragons held their spears tightly and aimed at the cave entrance. This time, they did not dare to be careless.
Time slowly passed. Dozens of seconds, hundreds of seconds, the Emerald Dragons kept fanning the smoke into the cave. However, after the previous incident, the Standing Scorpions did not come out again.
Why did they not come out? After a long time, the Emerald Dragons began to have doubts. Lin also felt that it was a little strange. Did they all die inside? Or did they set a trap inside and wait for the Emerald Dragons to go in?
Obviously, none of the Emerald Dragons wanted to go in. They continued fanning the smoke … and the Standing Scorpions did not respond.
Just like that, the light in the sky slowly dimmed. The surrounding environment … had already entered the night. Floating Astronomy.
