Under the bright sun, the Humerus Dragon's exploration team slowly advanced. Deep in the forest, the Emerald Dragon's battle was still ongoing.
There was a huge pyramid here, the second one the Emerald Dragons planned to attack. Just like the previous one, the area around the pyramid was surrounded by grass and low plants. This pyramid was taller than the previous one, about 50 meters tall.
This tall structure in the forest was now under siege by the Emerald Dragon army. A large number of vipers were flying in the sky, and the surrounding forest was filled with the green silhouettes of the Emerald Dragons. Now, the entire Emerald Dragon army had surrounded the pyramid in the dense forest. However, they did not approach the pyramid, nor did they step into the grass around it.
Rin estimated that Susumi brought out about 20,000 troops, and only a small number of them remained in the city. The battle commanders, Mukla and Black Pepper, were also here.
Rin felt that Susumi's deployment of such a large number of troops might be a problem. For example, could the Rissoi bypass Susumi's troops and attack the city?
So far, Rin did not know what the Rissoi were thinking. Susumi's plan was more obvious. She planned to destroy the nearby pyramids, and then focus on the area with the most pyramids. Further away, there was an area with more pyramids, and that was where the Rissoi were most concentrated.
The Rissoi were usually active and were often seen outside. However, since Susumi's deployment, they had all gone into hiding. Perhaps they were hiding in the pyramids. Or perhaps somewhere else. Obviously. They were much better at gathering information than the Emerald Dragons.
Susumi seemed to have realized this. Even with so many troops, Susumi's actions were very cautious. After surrounding the pyramid, Susumi did not immediately attack. Instead, she was preparing.
"Put that … thing down!" Following Black Pepper's listless voice, a few vipers appeared in the sky. These vipers' claws were holding onto a thick string, and below the string were some huge weapons.
These were the 'giant bows' that Susumi had made. As they were too large to be transported through the forest, they could only be carried by the vipers.
Although wyverns usually did not hunt in groups, they were very cooperative when flying in groups. This also allowed them to transport some larger heavy objects together.
The group of vipers slowly lowered their altitude and placed these large objects on the grassland at the edge of the forest.
These bows were finished products. They looked like a large bow that was several meters wide and placed on a strange base. The bowstring was made of the tendons of some large horned dragons. The string had been pulled and fixed to a small wooden gate at the back of the base. In the center of the bow was an arrow that was more than two meters long. The arrowheads were made from dinosaur horns. In fact, most dinosaur horns and teeth were much harder than ordinary stones.
Although it looked like a very sophisticated weapon. But Rin felt that Susumi had simply enlarged the bow she usually used.
Then, the vipers brought in more giant bows. A total of ten giant bows were placed in a row at the edge of the grassland, facing the pyramid in the center of the grassland.
"Prepare to activate!" Under Black Pepper's command, the ten Emerald Dragons walked out of the forest. They walked to the giant bows and placed their hands on the small gate.
Susumi was not here at the moment. She had already divided some of her troops to attack the other pyramids. This was the conclusion that she came to based on Black Pepper's information. However, to prevent any problems from arising, the two troops maintained communication through the vipers.
Currently, the troops here were still under Black Pepper's command.
"Fire!" With Black Pepper's shout, the Emerald Dragons immediately pulled on the small gate of the bowstring.
Bang! Under the powerful force of the dragon tendons, the giant arrow rushed across the grassland at an extremely fast speed and hit the wall of the pyramid with a loud bang.
From afar, one could see that almost the entire arrow had pierced into the stone wall. There were many cracks around it, and one of the arrows had even made a hole in the wall.
Rin felt that the arrow was not only powerful, but it also had something to do with the fact that the wall was not very hard.
When the Emerald Dragons saw the power of the arrow, they were pleasantly surprised. Although they did not cheer, Rin could feel their excitement. They were very happy to have obtained a new powerful weapon.
"Very good! Continue to fire! " Black Pepper was very satisfied with the power of the arrow. Then, a group of Emerald Dragons walked out of the forest with giant arrows and loaded them onto the giant bows.
The only downside of this weapon was that its firing speed was rather slow. It took the Emerald Dragons a long time to load the arrows and draw the bowstrings. It took a total of hundreds of meters and seconds before the row of arrows could be fired again.
Boom! Compared to loading the arrows, firing the arrows took only a moment. The wall that was hit by the arrows let out a loud bang, and the cracks on the wall began to spread rapidly. One of the arrows hit right next to the point where the previous arrow hit, causing the wall to crack and fall off in an instant.
However, if they wanted to rely on these arrows to knock down the entire pyramid, who knew how long it would take?
Moreover, they did not even know if there were scorpions in the pyramid. However, these pyramids seemed to have a special meaning to the scorpions. Although they did not usually stay in the pyramids, they valued these buildings very much. For some reason, they did not know …
At this time, the Emerald Dragons had loaded the arrows for the third time. This time, the arrowheads of the arrows were made of stone. It was probably because dinosaur horns were not that easy to obtain.
Susumi had tried to raise Horned Dragons before. However, Horned Dragons were very violent. They maintained absolute hostility towards non-breeds, which was completely different from Viper Dragons.
Even so, the stone arrowheads could still penetrate the scorpions' weak defense at this speed … Boom!
This was the third time they fired. The surface of the pyramid was already filled with many large arrows. Black Pepper was using the Distant Gazing Tree to observe the holes made by the arrows.
"Next …" Black Pepper was about to continue when he suddenly stopped and changed his words. "Wait! Prepare for battle! "
The surrounding Emerald Dragons immediately tensed up. They all gripped their weapons tightly and saw many scorpions crawling out of the holes in the pyramid.
Previously, they had not come out even after being smoked for a long time. This time, they came out after three rounds of arrows. These creatures were very special.
A large number of scorpions rushed out of the pyramid. They ran across the grass and rushed into the surrounding forest!
"Fire!" Seeing the Standing Scorpions getting closer and closer, Black Pepper immediately let out a loud roar. Countless arrows suddenly flew out from the forest and rained down on the Standing Scorpions. In an instant, a series of miserable shrieks rang out ….
"Kill them all! Leave none alive! "
"Gah —!!!" At this time, countless Emerald Dragons rushed out of the forest. They charged forward with their spears at the scorpions that were full of arrows. The outcome of the battle was decided in an instant.
Black Pepper had captured a few scorpions before, but just as Lin thought, the scorpions could not be used as slaves. Normally, if a Skeleton Dragon was unwilling or disobedient, it could inflict pain on the scorpions and make them obedient. However, no matter how hard the scorpions were beaten, they were completely indifferent.
Because the scorpions were expressionless, the Emerald Dragons even thought that they could not feel pain. Thus, they had no choice but to give up on the idea of using them as slaves …
Therefore, the Emerald Dragons were killing the scorpions in a frenzy. They pierced the scorpions' bodies with their spears, and smashed their heads with their shields.
Since the scorpions could not be used as slaves, they could at least be used as food. The Emerald Dragons were a regular army, and their numbers far outnumbered the scorpions. There were only a few hundred scorpions in the pyramid, so the Emerald Dragons easily won the battle.
The massacre soon came to an end. The scorpions that rushed out were defeated in a short period of time. The Emerald Dragons broke into the pyramid.
Lin also entered the pyramid with them. The structure of the pyramid was slightly different from the previous one, but there was nothing special about it.
The only thing she was sure of was that this was not the scorpions' main camp. There were no eggs or young in here. The scorpions were very small when they were born, and needed to shed their shells many times to grow. There were also no strange phenomena like the Sickle Scorpions or Brain-Creating Monsters.
After taking over the pyramid, Black Pepper ordered some of the viper knights to report to Susumi. The Emerald Dragons began to roast the scorpions while resting …
Meanwhile, Black Pepper lay down on the ground faster than the other Emerald Dragons and fell into a deep sleep.
This was the moment Lin had been waiting for. She now had a way to 'see' Black Pepper's dream. She was finally able to observe this continuous nightmare, mainly because she had been transporting dream connectors from the aerial base to this place for the past few days and nights.
As a matter of fact, there were already a few Dream Connectors in the aerial base. Since the cells of brain-type soldiers were rather complicated, it would take a long time to produce them, so Lin usually kept some in reserve.
After Black Pepper fell asleep, Lin had the Dream Connectors fly down and secretly infiltrate its brain. Since it had the ability to change color, the Emerald Dragons nearby did not notice it …
After Black Pepper fell into a deep sleep, everything slowly changed.
The sky was shrouded by a shadow …
It was like another world. The ground was barren, and there was no sign of life. The clouds in the sky were spinning slowly like a whirlpool, emitting a strange purple hue.
