Lin's surroundings were shrouded in darkness.
This was an underground passage. It was the passage that the Frost Spiders had drilled out. It was also the current location of Lin's spy.
The spy had jumped in before the Emerald Dragons blocked the passage. This passage led deep into the underground. Lin felt that it might be connected to the city where the Scorpion was.
She could still hear the sounds of fighting from above. The battle between the Scorpion and the Emerald Dragons would last for an unknown amount of time. Generally speaking, it was difficult for both sides to kill each other. The Emerald Dragons could not easily pierce through the Scorpion's shell, and the Scorpion could not easily pierce through the Emerald Dragons' leather armor.
Their victory depended entirely on their additional troops — the Viper Dragons, as well as the various monsters left behind by the Atte tribe.
The Scorpion did not seem to be very 'familiar' with using the Atte creatures. They did not let these creatures fight together. Instead, they took turns. Perhaps there was a purpose behind this, or perhaps they were simply not easy to control.
Initially, if the Frost Spiders and the Scorpion army had charged together, it might have been more effective. It was also a good idea to emerge from the Emerald Dragons' army. However, after that, it would be easy to be surrounded. Moreover, the Frost Spiders' sparkling shells made of crystals would make the Emerald Dragons even more excited.
These creatures determined whether the Scorpion could defeat the Emerald Dragons. They should be used carefully.
Lin came here mainly to see if there was anything about the brain. The spy held the split-brain in his hand. The signal from the split-brain was transmitted into the depths of the passage.
Lin's spy was not the only one in this dark passage. Beside the spy was another Emerald Dragon — Black Pepper.
Black Pepper was the first Emerald Dragon to jump into the passage after the Frost Spiders drilled out. Even though it looked normal now. It still did some strange things.
"Give that to me … That's mine …"
Black Pepper stretched out its hand. It tried to take the spy's split-brain. The spy took a step back and slapped its hand away. "You should continue forward and follow your thoughts."
"Caw … Yes, I can feel it …" Black Pepper turned around and continued to slowly move deeper into the passage.
Black Pepper seemed to be getting crazier. Was it because it was too close to the source of the signal? Thinking of this, Lin quickly followed after him.
This passage was very unstable. Rocks would fall from time to time. Coupled with the sounds of fighting above, it felt like it would collapse at any moment. There were also many small scorpions that had poisoned the Emerald Dragon to death. However, they seemed to have lost their ability to attack and were lying motionless on the ground.
Although Black Pepper seemed to be crazy, it was careful not to step on these scorpions. It seemed that its mind was still at a normal level …
After walking for several hundred meters in the tunnel, Lin felt the road slowly begin to extend upward. Very soon. Soon, they would see the light and reach the exit.
"This is … where it is." Black Pepper was the first to climb up to the exit. The spy followed. The exit was on the surface, and the moment Lin came out, she saw all kinds of strange things around her …
This place … was inside the pyramid.
The ground around her was filled with things made of crystals. Most of them were shaped like pots or bowls. It felt like they were made of 'ceramics' by the Emerald Dragon. These containers were filled with … eggs.
These should be the eggs of the Standing Scorpion. However, they were smaller than the ones Lin saw before. They were only about five centimeters in size. This was obviously a room used to store eggs. In front of Lin, there were a lot of crushed containers and eggs. It seemed like the Frost Spiders had crawled here and started to dig here …
As expected, the Standing Scorpion did not seem to be able to control the Frost Spiders. Otherwise, it would not have let them crush the eggs here.
Black Pepper followed the broken eggs and crushed crystals to the exit of the room. Lin followed it out of the room.
Outside the room was another room … It seemed like the inside of the Standing Scorpion's pyramid was like this. The rooms were connected to each other without any passages. They were all very spacious. This room was also used to store eggs. However, there were even more strange things here. Some of them were made of crystals.
After walking through a few more rooms, Lin and Black Pepper arrived at the exit of the pyramid. Standing here, they could see the empty city of the Standing Scorpion. The whole city was made up of many smaller pyramids and larger pyramids. There were no divisions or walls. It seemed like the pyramids were simply squeezed together. Not a single Standing Scorpion could be seen here. It seemed like they had all gone to war.
Black Pepper jumped down from the exit and walked into the houses made up of smaller pyramids.
It completely ignored the houses around it and quickly walked in a direction — another large pyramid.
This pyramid was next to the one they just came out of. The signal was the strongest there. There must be something there. The split brain was trembling non-stop. Lin even thought that there was a brain inside …
No, it was not a brain. If it was the mastermind of the Atte race, the signal would be even stronger.
After walking into the pyramid, Lin found that it was a spacious room. The layout was completely different from the previous one. It seemed like there was only one room here.
This room was also filled with eggs. In the center of the room was a large pile of red crystals. These crystals were the same size as the split brain.
Was that a split brain? The Standing Scorpion piled the split brains together. Was that why there was such a signal? No, there should be something in that pile of split brains.
However, Lin was more concerned about a white creature next to the pile of split brains.
It was the White Skeleton Dragon.
Why was the White Skeleton Dragon here? However, it was obviously related to the White Skeleton Dragon that tried to ambush Black Pepper.
"Caw?" At this time, the White Skeleton Dragon also noticed Black Pepper and the spy. Lin felt that it was extremely surprised. Then, it immediately turned around and ran to the other exit of the room!
Before Lin could do anything, Black Pepper was one step ahead. It caught up to the White Skeleton Dragon in a few seconds and pressed it to the ground. It shouted, "What the hell are you?!"
It was unclear whether Black Pepper was crazy or normal. However, the White Skeleton Dragon obviously did not understand. It made a confused caw and struggled wildly. It kicked Black Pepper's abdomen. When it stood up and was about to escape, Black Pepper grabbed its tail.
Black Pepper pulled its tail and the White Skeleton Dragon fell to the ground. Black Pepper immediately stepped forward and rode on its body. It raised its hand and was about to hit the White Skeleton Dragon's head.
"Go away." Lin walked forward and pushed Black Pepper away. She took out the Dream Link that she used on Black Pepper and stuck it on the White Skeleton Dragon's head.
With this, she should be able to find out the situation of the White Skeleton Dragons … Amazing.
