"Caw, oh, oh, oh …"
Around the town where the pyramids stood, five white creatures were quietly crawling on the grass while observing the movements in the city.
They thought that no other creature could see them, but Lin's Eye had been watching them since a long time ago …
However, it was obvious that these white skeletal dragons were not very good at sneaking around. They were white, but they were crawling on the brown grass. Lin was a little worried about whether these white skeletal dragons could enter the city. Fortunately, most of the standing scorpions were gathered in the houses of the pyramids, and very few of them were outside, so the standing scorpions did not notice them.
Seeing that the streets were empty, the five white skeletal dragons stood up and moved slowly against the walls of the pyramids into the city.
Lin noticed that each of these white skeletal dragons was carrying a bag, which seemed to be made of some kind of leather. From time to time, they would take out a small piece of debris from the bag and throw it on the ground.
It looked like the seed of something. Lin Sanjiu wondered what was the point of doing that.
They quietly walked past one pyramid after another. The standing scorpions were basically treating the injured inside, so it seemed to be safe for now.
"Caw!" Suddenly, one of the white skeletal dragons stopped. When it walked past a pyramid, it noticed a crystal embedded in the corner of the pyramid. It immediately took out a small knife-shaped object from the bag and poked it, as if it wanted to get the crystal off.
Strange, did the white skeletal dragons also think that crystals were valuable? Or did the skeletal dragons like shiny things like this, just like how dwarves liked bones?
"Caw!" A few of its companions immediately came over, and these white skeletal dragons did not try to persuade it to leave. Instead, they helped it knock the crystal off the corner of the pyramid …
They kept using stones and things like that. He also used a sharp stone object to knock on the surface, making a 'peng peng peng' sound. Although the sound was not very loud, one of the standing scorpions in the pyramid still heard it. It walked out of the pyramid in confusion, and immediately saw … a corner of the pyramid was missing.
However, the standing scorpions did not seem to be suspicious of this. They took a look and walked back.
The five white skeletal dragons knocked the crystal off before the standing scorpions came out, and then quickly hid on the other side of the pyramid. They were all panting when they saw the standing scorpions leave. Only then did they feel at ease …
The skeletal dragons looked at the crystal they knocked down, put it in a bag, and continued to move slowly. They quietly passed through the path between the pyramids. This time, they did not try to knock the crystal again. However, perhaps because it was too difficult to knock, most of the crystals were in higher places. It was rare to see a crystal in the corner like just now.
The five Skeleton Dragons slowly made their way to the pyramid where Lin's spy was.
The White Skeleton Dragons looked left and right to confirm the situation. They took out a small crystal from the bag — it was a split brain. Then, they quickly ran to the entrance.
The inside of the pyramid was empty. Black Pepper was still inside the cave filled with split brains, while Lin's spy was outside in a state of discoloration. The injured standing scorpions had also been moved away. Now, only the Skeletal Dragon was left lying on the ground.
When they saw it, they quickly ran over and surrounded it, asking all kinds of questions.
The Skeleton Dragon could not move its body yet, but it still tried its best to point at the hole in the center of the pyramid.
"Caw!" Only then did the five Skeleton Dragons notice the hole. They immediately gathered around and looked down.
Although Black Pepper was also down there, Lin was certain that the Skeleton Dragons were not looking at it. Instead, they were looking at … the large crystal that contained the main brain.
At this moment, these White Skeleton Dragons seemed to have discovered something wonderful. They were extremely excited, as if they couldn't wait to jump down and take out the crystal.
However, none of them did so.
Lin realized that they were looking at their companions. They looked at each other as if they were deciding who should go down and take the crystal.
Why were they so troublesome? Could it be that … they were guarding against their own kind?
Indeed, if a Skeleton Dragon went down, it would not be able to climb up by itself. It would need the help of its companions. If the companion above wanted to do something, the one below would not be able to do anything.
So this was the case. These Skeleton Dragons were also a very selfish species …
If they were really a species created by the Yat Tribe, it meant that the Yat Tribe did not care about their development. Perhaps they were just passing on knowledge to them?
"Caw …" When they were unable to decide who should go down, one of the Skeleton Dragons spoke. It said something that Lin did not understand, but the other Skeleton Dragons seemed to agree.
Then, the group of Skeleton Dragons took out something from the bag. It was a creature called a 'snail.' Although the name was strange, this creature was a land snail. There was nothing special about it.
The snails that the five Skeleton Dragons took out were about the same size. Lin noticed that they were only empty shells and were not alive. They pinched the snail shells between their fingers. Then, the five Skeleton Dragons squeezed their snails together and pushed them with all their might …
"Crack …" Soon, the snail shells were crushed by their strength. However, two of the Skeleton Dragons' shells were not crushed. Then, the two Skeleton Dragons stood up and squeezed their snail shells one-on-one …
Could they be using this method to choose who should go down? This feeling … was quite interesting.
In the end, the Skeleton Dragon that came up with this method won! Although there were some cracks in its snail shell, its opponent's was completely crushed! It was very excited, but it did not show it.
The Skeleton Dragons took out a few long ropes from their bags. They seemed to be made of leather. Their manufacturing ability was quite good.
The four Skeleton Dragons that lost in the snail squeezing tied themselves up with the ropes. Then, they fixed the ends of the ropes to the ground with a sharp awl. After giving a few instructions to the Skeleton Dragon, they all jumped into the hole.
Their decision seemed to be too hasty. The word 'hasty' was too strange, but it did not matter. As long as Lin could follow them to their island to take a look, it would be fine.
These Skeleton Dragons did not seem to treat the curled up black pepper as a living thing. When they reached the bottom, each of the Skeleton Dragons looked at the crystal as if they were fascinated. They wiped off the blood that the black pepper had left on the crystal and stared at it without blinking …
After looking at it for a while, the Skeleton Dragons began to move the crystal together. The crystal seemed to be quite heavy. It took four Skeleton Dragons working together to move it. They carried the crystal together and pulled the ropes at the same time as they slowly climbed up.
From here, it could be seen that their ropes were quite sturdy. The awl that was stuck in the ground was also very stable.
However, not long after they climbed, one of the Skeleton Dragons was suddenly grabbed by the leg … It was Black Pepper.
Black Pepper suddenly stood up and ran over to grab one of the Skeleton Dragons. When the Skeleton Dragon turned its head to look, it panicked and began to kick Black Pepper wildly. However, Black Pepper completely ignored it and pulled it down with force. Black Pepper pinned the Skeleton Dragon to the ground and kept hitting it in the face.
The other three Skeleton Dragons did not help. Instead, they carried the crystal and quickly climbed up, completely ignoring the cries for help from the Skeleton Dragon below.
Lin felt that they were even more selfish than the Emerald Dragons. They probably thought that if one of them died, they would be able to get more.
Just as they were about to reach the top, the Skeleton Dragon above stood at the entrance of the cave and blocked their way.
"Caw!" The Skeleton Dragon above pointed at the crystal, as if it wanted them to bring it up first.
The three Skeleton Dragons were hesitant at first, but Black Pepper soon beat the Skeleton Dragon into a bloody pulp and started to pull on their ropes. In a panic, they had no choice but to push the crystal up with all their might.
After the White Skeleton Dragon outside received the crystal, it suddenly had a strange emotion. It quickly stood up and kicked the three White Skeleton Dragons in the cave! The three Skeleton Dragons were not holding on tightly to the crystal because of Black Pepper's shaking. Coupled with the kick, they immediately slid down.
At this time, the Skeleton Dragon outside immediately took out a sharp stone and cut the three ropes.
The three skeletal dragons below had yet to notice that their ropes had been cut because they were already fighting with Black Pepper. However, the situation was almost one-sided. The moment they fell, Black Pepper slit the throat of one of them with her claws. The other two tried to stand up and fight back, but Black Pepper easily kicked each of them in the abdomen, and they immediately fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Just as Lin had expected, these Skeleton Dragons were too weak. Three of them were about two meters tall, but Black Pepper, who was only 1.8 meters tall and lighter than them, defeated them in a matter of seconds.
Even though Black Pepper was a combat commander, they were still very weak …
However, this had nothing to do with the Skeleton Dragon above. It had obtained the crystal itself! It was extremely excited, holding the crystal and touching it here and there.
However, there was another Skeleton Dragon outside that saw everything. That was the Skeleton Dragon that was paralyzed by Lin earlier. It was still lying on the ground, but it did not dare to make a sound …
But it was useless. The Skeleton Dragon that was holding the crystal noticed it …
The Skeleton Dragon stood up, took out a sharp stone from its bag, and walked towards the paralyzed Skeleton Dragon …
Lin thought that they would save it, but it seemed impossible now.
