"Release!"
Along with the command, all the emerald dragons loosened the ropes that bound the swamp wood. At this moment, countless rocks were instantly ejected from the ground. They were like bombs, piercing through the air at an extremely fast speed and colliding with the group of scorpions in the air.
Smack!
There was the sound of something being smashed. A stone directly shattered the shell of a flying scorpion. When countless stones flew into the air, the scorpion's remains and blood fell like rain.
"Oh, oh, oh! That's great! "" Shoot them down! "
The Emerald Dragons cheered. Susumi's new weapon was called the "stone throwing tree." It was indeed more effective than a bow. Although its projectile shooting method was not very suitable for attacking targets in the air, Susumi had to try for a long time before she could find a suitable position to shoot. At least, it was still more effective than a bow.
The point where the stones were shot was located deeper into the swamp forest. It was not near the Emerald Dragons' camp. Susumi separated some of her troops to shoot the stones, while the archers remained in their original position. This attracted the attention of the standing scorpions, so they did not notice the shooting team in the forest.
While the Emerald Dragons were cheering, Susumi showed a worried expression. If the standing scorpions flew a little higher, this method would not be able to hit them.
However, with this as an opportunity, Susumi had a new weapon. She had already recorded this weapon and was preparing to use it in other places in the future. This weapon might be more useful than a giant bow.
"Tch …" A part of the flying scorpions was smashed down. They did not fly higher. Instead, they made a strange sound.
This sound echoed throughout the sky. All the Emerald Dragons could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"They might be trying to do something. Be careful! "Mukla was in charge of commanding the shooting team in the swamp forest. Mukla looked at the sky with the telescope and saw that all the flying scorpions had begun to circle in the air. They were flying faster and faster, but they did not fly in this direction. This made Mukla a little confused, but he still gave the order.
"Continue to prepare to attack!"
The Emerald Dragons had now pulled down the swamp wood with ropes again and moved new stones to put on it.
"Gah!" Suddenly, one of the Emerald Dragons that was moving stones screamed. A large amount of blood spurted out from its neck, and it fell to the ground with a frightened expression.
All the Emerald Dragons looked in the direction of the scream, but they saw nothing except a headless corpse and a head that had rolled to the side.
"What happened? What is this made of? " Mukla immediately walked over. He was surrounded by Emerald Dragons with weapons in their hands. They surrounded the corpse, but could not get any explanation …
"Ga!" Suddenly, another scream came from nearby. Mukla turned his head and saw another Emerald Dragon that was carrying stones not far away had fallen to the ground. Its neck was bleeding profusely …
"Be alert! There's something here! "Mukla shouted," Pay attention to your surroundings! Bring the dwarf over! "
At this moment, some Emerald Dragons brought the Lightning Gnomes over. The dwarves sniffed the ground around the corpse. Suddenly, as if they had smelled something disgusting, they screamed and ran away.
"Hey! Stop running! " The Emerald Dragons with the Lightning Gnomes immediately chased after them, but because the Lightning Gnomes ran too fast, they could not catch them at all.
"What's wrong with them …" Mukla was puzzled by the situation, but he had no choice. He could only shout, "Be on full alert!"
The Emerald Dragons immediately picked up their spears and leaned their backs together to prevent any sneak attacks from behind.
However, this also caused a problem. They could no longer carry stones.
At the periphery of the forest, Susumi found that the stones had not been fired for a long time. She was puzzled. She said to an Emerald Dragon behind her, "Go and check on them. Why haven't they fired?"
"Yes!" When the Emerald Dragon heard this, he immediately ran into the forest … But after that, he did not return.
Time passed slowly. Susumi did not receive any news. It was obvious that something had happened over there.
However, it was unlikely that she would go over now because the sky was slowly darkening. It was very easy to be ambushed in the forest. Therefore, Susumi decided to call them back directly!
Susumi opened her mouth and shouted in Mukla's direction, "Mukla! If you can hear me, come back quickly! "
As soon as Susumi finished speaking, there was movement in the forest. The firing squad from before walked out of the forest.
"What happened?" Susumi asked Mukla as soon as she saw him.
"There's an ambush …" Mukla panted, "Something ambushed us in the forest. It has already cut off the necks of a few dragons, but we can't find where it is. The Lightning Gnomes can't find it either."
"…" Susumi was silent for a while. Then, she shouted, "Be on full alert! Raise the bonfire!"
The Emerald Dragons raised the bonfire at the edge of the forest. When the fire lit up the surroundings, the scorpions in the sky were still flying tirelessly. The Emerald Dragons did not know what their purpose was, but they could only treat it seriously and nervously.
Lin had been observing them all this time. Lin believed that Susumi had already figured out the purpose of the scorpions.
The purpose of the scorpions was to exhaust the Emerald Dragons. The flying scorpions were constantly hovering in the sky, so the Emerald Dragons had to keep an eye on them. Every Emerald Dragon had to keep an eye on the sky, in case the flying scorpions suddenly rushed down.
At the same time, the flying scorpions used another method of ambush to make the Emerald Dragons even more nervous. If this continued, the Emerald Dragons would not be able to rest. They would be in a constant state of tension for a long time. Now, even if it was nighttime, they would not be able to sleep.
Lin noticed that the flying scorpions seemed to have become smarter. In the past, their tactics were simpler, and they did not have good control over some of the larger units. Now, they could use more complicated tactics.
Even though the flying scorpions could fly, they were not as numerous as before. They had no chance of winning against the Emerald Dragons, so they came up with this tactic.
Susumi should have noticed this, but she did not seem to have come up with a countermeasure. As long as the flying scorpions were hovering above them, the Emerald Dragons could not move.
If it were only the Emerald Dragons, they could retreat into the swamp forest. That way, the flying scorpions would have a hard time sneaking through the complicated branches and leaves to launch a sneak attack. However, the Emerald Dragons had many vipers with them. The vipers could not crawl into the forest on the ground. If they wanted to move, they would have to fly, which would make them vulnerable to attacks.
Susumi could not give up on the vipers, so she was caught in a dilemma …
Of course, flying scorpions also required stamina. Perhaps Susumi wanted to take a gamble and see which side would run out of stamina first.
While the two armies were in a stalemate, some of Lin's exploration teams had arrived at the crystal forest. They were the hunters who came down from the floating base. This special place was still the same as before. There were crystal trees that could record sound, strange rib centipedes, and now there was the possibility of a 'treasure'.
However, no one knew if the treasure was still here. Perhaps it had been taken away by the flying scorpions. So the spies were still in the city of the flying scorpions, searching in the huge pyramid …
While the multi-faceted search was in progress, something happened in the distant Emerald Dragon City.
A traveling team had arrived at the edge of the Emerald Dragon City in the middle of the night.
However, they did not seem to know that they had arrived at the city …
"What the hell is this?"
Under the night sky, the thirteen Humerus Dragons looked at the tall white wall in front of them. They were a little puzzled.
These Humerus Dragons were the traveling team that had set out. They had experienced all kinds of things along the way, but they did not encounter any great danger. They were all wearing dinosaur skins, carrying bags made of dinosaur skins and all kinds of tools. After overcoming the difficulties along the way, a … wall stood in front of them.
Obviously, there would not be such a stone wall about ten meters high in the forest. The Humerus Dragons had never made a wall themselves, but they could guess: it was probably built by something.
"There are sounds inside." A Humerus Dragon leaned its ear against the wall and said, "It seems that there are a lot of creatures inside."
Another Humerus Dragon also leaned forward and listened to the sounds inside. It said, "Yes, the sounds of the creatures inside sound a little like Fei Mao."
"Let me go up and have a look!" A Humerus Dragon tried to climb up the wall by following the cracks and protrusions on the wall. The Humerus Dragon's claws were very suitable for climbing, so it climbed up the wall easily.
When it climbed up the wall, it suddenly saw an incredible scene in front of its eyes. It jumped down almost immediately and said to the Humerus Dragons around it, "There are a lot of Fei Mao in there! This is really their city! "
"Really? It seems that we have finally arrived.
At this time, a Humerus Dragon dressed differently walked out from the group of Humerus Dragons. It was wearing armor made of bones, which made it particularly conspicuous among the group of Humerus Dragons.
"Leader Tucker!" The other Humerus Dragons saw it coming and immediately made way for it.
Tucker climbed up the wall and saw all kinds of buildings and houses inside. There was a basin of fire placed at the entrance of these houses. A large number of Emerald Dragons gathered in front of their houses or on the streets. They were eating and cheering happily.
"They … are holding a banquet?" At this time, a few Humerus Dragons had also climbed up the wall. They looked at the scene in the city and felt quite amazed.
After looking for a while, a Humerus Dragon said, "These green dragons don't seem to be as cruel as Fei Mao said. Maybe we should go in and try to communicate with them."
