These symbols … probably meant something.
Lin took the thin skin and examined it carefully. There were a considerable number of different symbols on it. Although the Emerald Dragon and the Skeleton Dragon could also draw some symbols, they wouldn't make them so complicated.
This didn't look like a simple drawing, but rather a complicated system …
Lin picked up the next skin. It was also full of symbols, but there was a picture at the bottom.
This picture depicted a … stone. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what it meant.
On the third skin, Lin saw something interesting. It was … a map!
It was full of trees, dinosaurs, and all kinds of environments. It was very similar to the surrounding forest. Lin guessed that they were recording the nearby terrain, but the recording wasn't complete. There were many gaps in the skin. Perhaps the Skeleton Dragon hadn't finished exploring the surrounding environment. Although this place was very close to the crystal forest, they hadn't explored it yet.
If they discovered the crystal forest, they would probably go crazy like the Emerald Dragon when it saw the crystal pyramid.
The way they drew the map was very similar to the Emerald Dragon, but the Emerald Dragon used statues to place the map. They would draw a dinosaur as a representative in an area where dinosaurs roamed.
Moreover, there were a few small symbols under the dinosaur. Those symbols probably represented the dinosaur.
Although this seemed to be the first time the Skeleton Dragon had appeared here, their habits were very similar to the Emerald Dragon's. Were all creatures with unique personalities developing in this direction …?
At this moment, Lin suddenly heard a sound from outside. Lin hurriedly put away the skins. Then she went into hiding.
At the entrance of the tent. The Chief and the Jing Kuang walked in. The Jing Kuang stood at the entrance without moving, while the Chief rummaged through the pile of items on the side and found a small green statue. The statue was in the shape of a dinosaur.
The Chief handed the statue to the Jing Kuang. The Jing Kuang was very excited. It happily said a lot to the Chief and then left the tent.
It seemed to be some kind of reward for the Jing Kuang? The Chief then sat on the ground of the tent. It took the pile of skins that Lin had seen before and pulled out a completely blank one. Then it picked up a slender thing and drew on it …
The slender thing seemed to be the stem of some kind of plant, and a black liquid could be squeezed out from the end so that it could paint on the surface.
The leader continued to draw all kinds of symbols. These symbols were similar to the ones Lin had seen before, but the arrangement was different. Furthermore, it was constantly talking while drawing.
Lin noticed that almost every symbol the leader drew contained a sound. These symbols seemed to represent … sound? Every different symbol had a different sound to represent it …
That's right, this is that kind of system. A system known as' text '! That was the only word in Lin's mind.
So that's how it is. They used symbols instead of images to express sounds, and then these sounds were pieced together to form a word, a certain meaning, and so on.
Did these Skeleton Dragons know how to use such a complicated method? Lin really wanted to see how their lives were like. She had to follow them to their city, if they had a city …
In the end, the leader even drew the image of a crystal under the skin. It seemed like it was recording what had just happened. If he could understand their language, he might be able to learn about the various situations that happened to this group of White Skeleton Dragons from these words …
It seemed that Lin had to learn their language. This shouldn't be too difficult. It was indeed difficult for most creatures to learn another creature's language, but it was much easier for Lin to learn by sensing their emotions.
And so, the spy stayed here for the time being to observe their lives.
After observing for a few days and nights, Lin discovered that the White Skeleton Dragons' main activity was research. They were recording the flora and fauna in the vicinity and drawing these creatures on maps. They even studied the soil, stones, and so on. Moreover, their division of labor was very clear. Some of the White Skeleton Dragons were dedicated to research. They did not wear weapons, and those who wore weapons never did research.
Although these Skeleton Dragons knew how to use a complicated system like 'text', they also liked to communicate in the simplest common language of the Skeleton Dragons, 'ga'. Many of their pronunciations in their language had 'ga' in it.
Their living habits were somewhat similar to that of the Emerald Dragons. They would sometimes quarrel with each other. In short, their level of selfishness was very close to that of the Emerald Dragons. There were not many Skeleton Dragons that were as selfish as Jing Kuang.
Jing Kuang had been living a comfortable life since it came to the camp. It always had a lot of food to enjoy, and the Skeleton Dragons here were quite envious of it …
After a few days, some Skeleton Dragons arrived at the camp one after another. Lin found that most of them were exploration teams of three to five. They seemed to be exploring the nearby area, but they did not seem to have found anything. When they saw the crystals that Jing Kuang brought back, almost all of them were surprised and envious.
Of course, there were also some Skeleton Dragons that showed 'anger' and 'suspicion' towards Jing Kuang.
Not all of them were like the leader, who believed in Jing Kuang's story. Perhaps Jing Kuang's extreme selfishness was also on display, so some of the Skeleton Dragons that knew it were very suspicious of it.
But this did not stop Jing Kuang from being a winner. It still enjoyed the best food and the best treatment.
The leader did not seem to be very familiar with Jing Kuang, so it did not care too much. Lin, on the other hand, was concerned about when they would return.
While Lin was observing the lives of these Skeleton Dragons, the war with the Emerald Dragons seemed to have come to an end. After Susumi occupied the pyramids, the flying scorpions dispersed. They did not continue to besiege the Emerald Dragons, so the Emerald Dragons could rest.
However, Susumi obviously did not dare to leave the pyramids. They might stay here for a while before trying to leave …
Of course, this could lead to the emergence of a new threat.
Recently, the leader of the White Skeletal Dragons had gathered all the White Skeletal Dragons in the camp. It took out a map drawn by Jing Kuang, and the most eye-catching thing on it was a few pyramids.
Jing Kuang seemed to have pointed out where it found the crystal. It might even have said that part of the pyramids was made of crystals. When the leader spoke, the surrounding Skeleton Dragons were very excited.
