"Caw …"
At the edge of the charred city that was shrouded in smoke, there was a small pyramid. On the side of the pyramid, a white figure was lying down.
Lin had been observing its escape route. She didn't expect this king of snails to be able to survive the flames.
There were some burn marks all over its body, but it wasn't a big deal. Perhaps its fate was very good. This white dragon had found a relatively safe path and escaped the city in the raging fire.
It couldn't believe that it had escaped. Then, it leaned against the wall of the pyramid and rested.
However, when the flames burned out and daylight arrived, it actually stayed here and didn't leave. What was the reason for that?
It was not that the Skeleton Dragon was unable to escape due to its injuries, nor was it thirsty. It was just that … it was still thinking about the crystal in the city. Now, it would look into the charred city from time to time, as if it wanted to go in …
To be so obsessed with the crystal, it could be said that it was' crazy '. That was a good word.
However, this white dragon wasn't crazy. It purely wanted the crystal with its own consciousness, even if it had experienced so much!
Therefore, Lin decided to name it — "Jing Kuang."
In fact, the pronunciation was very similar to the white dragon's original name. Before they came, Lin had heard its companions call it by that name.
Perhaps it was this personality that caused its selfishness. In fact, Lin had seen many selfish species. For example, there was a kind of shark that would kill all the hatchlings around it when it hatched. Only the strongest of the hatchlings could survive.
But in the end, sharks were solitary creatures. In a situation where they can maintain a large group of people. Only these white dragons could be so selfish …
Driven by temptation, the Jing Kuang once again entered the city. In fact, this was a good opportunity. The standing scorpions were probably burned to death. Even if it slowly walked out with such a large crystal, it wouldn't be discovered.
However, the Jing Kuang still had to worry about the situation in the sky.
The three viper knights of Susumi were hovering in the sky. They had been observing the situation in the city of standing scorpions. At present, almost all the pyramids had been completely sealed off. From the outside, they couldn't see what was going on inside.
Were the Lishikaga really dead? This was something that Susumi was very concerned about. The Emerald Dragon's army could not attack because they had to take care of the injured. Therefore, Susumi hoped that they could win this flame attack.
Jing Kuang was lying on the scorched grass. It had covered itself with ashes, turning it from a White Skeleton Dragon into a Black Skeleton Dragon to avoid the eyes of the viper knights in the sky. Every time a viper flew past, it would immediately stop moving. It had made good use of its' protective camouflage '.
Soon, it approached the huge pyramid again at the entrance. It found the crystal.
The crystal had been kicked into the fire by Black Pepper, but it remained undamaged even after burning for an entire night. When Jing Kuang saw it, he rushed up like a madman and hugged the crystal. Then, he kept touching it.
After confirming that there were no problems, Jing Kuang covered the crystal with ashes. Rin noticed that Jing Kuang felt a sense of 'pity' when he covered the crystal with the ashes, but he quickly finished it.
It seemed that Jing Kuang liked the crystal because of its beauty. Once again, Jing Kuang dragged the crystal with great effort. While avoiding the viper dragons in the sky, he walked step by step out of the city.
What a strange creature to have this kind of perseverance but also to the extreme of selfishness …
Time passed slowly. When it was almost the middle of the day, Jing Kuang finally dragged the crystal out of the city. He chose the shortest path, but it still took him a long time to leave.
However, how far was he going to go? Dragging such a large crystal through the vast wilderness and forests to the seaside? It was obvious that it was impossible.
But now, he could at least rest for a while. Jing Kuang was glad that he could leave the city at this time. A group of Emerald Dragons had arrived at the edge of the city.
They were a search team formed by Susumi. There were a total of three hundred Emerald Dragons led by a new commander. They were here to observe the state of the Lishikaga. Black Pepper was also in this team.
While Jing Kuang dragged the crystal slowly, Lin could also observe the situation with this group of Emerald Dragons. What was wrong with the Lishikaga? Lin did not put any eyeballs in the small pyramid, so she did not know the situation yet.
The Emerald Dragons walked into the scorched city of Lishikaga. Every Emerald Dragon was very nervous. Although they had heard from the viper knights that there was no Lishikaga here, they were still afraid that Lishikaga would jump out and attack them.
Lin's spies also changed their expressions and blended into this troop, exploring together with them.
Although the Emerald Dragons were also very concerned about the crystals covering the pyramid, they all put the mission first. None of them tried to knock the crystals down first.
The Emerald Dragons at the forefront brought a few electric dwarves with them. The burnt smell did not affect their sense of smell. They sniffed around and suddenly, the electric dwarves gathered in front of a pyramid by the roadside.
"Stop!" the commander shouted. "This is very suspicious. Open it up and take a look!"
"Yes!" A few Emerald Dragons walked forward. They knew that Lishikaga had temporarily sealed the entrance of the pyramid with mud, so they tried to knock on the wall a few times. When they found a more vulnerable spot, they immediately picked up their spears and stabbed it.
Immediately, the mud blocking the entrance was poked away by the Emerald Dragons. Lin immediately followed them into the pyramid.
This pyramid … There was nothing inside. It was completely empty, only some broken eggshells.
This made the Emerald Dragons panic. Lishikaga was not dead! They were still alive.
The Emerald Dragons had been fighting for so long that they were familiar with Lishikaga's tricks. Although this place was empty, it was obvious that Lishikaga had hidden somewhere and then blocked the exit. The Emerald Dragons knocked on the ground, trying to find where Lishikaga was hiding.
Soon, the Emerald Dragons found a place on the ground. After poking it with their spears, Lin saw that it was a pit. There was something very strange in the pit. It looked like an egg with a purple shell that was half the height of the Emerald Dragons.
There were a total of five eggs in the pit. The Emerald Dragons found it very strange, so they dragged the eggs out and let the commander decide what to do with them.
"What the hell is this?" The commander kicked the egg on the ground in confusion. Then, he poked it with his spear!
A hole was instantly poked in the egg, and a large amount of sticky liquid flowed out.
Seeing this, the commander said, "Break it and see." Under the commander's orders, the Emerald Dragons completely broke the egg. There was nothing inside except a large amount of liquid.
"What the hell is this …" The commander looked at the liquid for a long time and said, "Take one and report it to the King!"
"Yes!" A few Emerald Dragons carried an egg and ran out of the city.
Then, they searched some nearby pyramids. The 'contents' of these pyramids were roughly divided into two types. Some of them were the same as before, with some large eggs in the pit. Most of the pyramids had Lishikaga that had suffocated to death.
When the Emerald Dragons found these Lishikaga, they were very happy. Susumi's tactic had worked. They had successfully killed a lot of Lishikaga.
Victory in this battle should belong to them!
Later, this army checked almost every pyramid in the city of Lishikaga. All of the pyramids had the above two conditions. The third condition did not appear. In other words, the Emerald Dragons did not find any living Lishikaga.
This was a very strange problem, but the Emerald Dragons did not care. The commander knew that they had successfully killed more than 50% of the Lishikaga in this battle. The rest of the Lishikaga had mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a pile of eggs.
The commander took some of the eggs back to the Emerald Dragons' camp and reported in detail to Susumi.
When Susumi heard the news, she did not believe it at first. But after she personally led a group of troops to check, she realized …
The battle was over!
The Emerald Dragons had won! This news quickly spread among the troops. Every Emerald Dragon was cheering for their victory and the large number of crystals that they would soon obtain!
At this time, the Skeleton Dragon Jing Kuang had already dragged the crystal with the brain a few hundred meters away from the city. It was still quite far from its goal …
Rin estimated that it would soon die after entering the forest. She had to search for the island herself.
The Emerald Dragons were now doing some repairs. Susumi had already sent a viper dragon knight back to the city to report the victory. However, Susumi had not yet decided to send more Emerald Dragons to collect the crystals here.
Although some Emerald Dragons wanted to go and collect some crystals now, without Susumi's order, they did not move.
At present, Susumi was still focused on treating the wounded in the entire army. Because the whole army was injured and lived near the rotten swamp, many of the Emerald Dragons were infected with some diseases. Although it was not a big problem, it would temporarily weaken them.
Next, Susumi's army stayed here for more than ten days and nights. They treated most of the wounded, and the infection problem was almost solved. Only then did Susumi decide to contact the city and send out the troops to collect the crystals.
During this time, the Lishikaga did not do anything. It seemed to be enough to prove that Susumi had won.
But Susumi had indeed neglected a problem …
