"What's going on here?"
Lin's spy immediately turned around when he heard the voice. He saw a Skeletal Dragon that looked exactly like the spy standing behind him. It was accompanied by some guards wearing strange armor.
This Skeletal Dragon … could it be the Sea King? It looked like it. Lin had already sensed them when they came over, but she did not look.
"Caw …" The Skeletal Dragon looked at the spy and the Sea King in surprise. "There are … two kings?"
The Sea King looked at the spy in confusion. "Who are you? Why would an unknown dragon come in here? "
An unknown dragon? Did the Sea King not see what he looked like? Forget it. If that's the case, I'll leave first.
In the next moment, the spy disappeared in front of the Skeletal Dragons.
All the Skeletal Dragons were shocked. The Sea King even shouted in panic, "What's going on? Where did it go? It must have used some kind of method to escape! Go find it! We can't let a foreign dragon in here! "
"Caw!" All the Skeletal Dragon guards immediately dispersed. They separated to check behind the statue and the room where the Skeletal Dragons were drawing.
Of course, they could not see anything. The spy was very good at hiding. Lin also knocked on the armor of these guards. Their material was different from the green armor worn by the guards on the ground.
The armor on the ground was mainly made of a mixture of stone materials that had been melted at high temperatures. Lin had seen the relevant manufacturing methods in their library. Generally speaking, it was made of stone rather than the shell-like materials obtained from living creatures.
They also used this method to make all kinds of things, according to the purpose of the things they made. The various ingredients inside were different. However, the weapons and armor they made were not very hard.
Instead, they were like Purgatory Worms. Lin's Pioneers also made carapaces with stones obtained from the depths of the earth. These carapaces were extremely hard. Lin once wanted to use meteorites to make carapaces, but she felt that it was difficult because there were too few materials.
These guards in the sea, they wore a lighter type of armor that seemed to be obtained from some kind of sea creature. The shape was also convenient for them to swim and fight at the same time.
However, Lin was puzzled. Why did the Sea King not recognize her? Even if it had not seen a reflective surface. It should have seen the drawing.
At this moment, the white dragon that had been talking to the spy also realized that the spy was not the Sea King. Now that it was looking at the real Sea King, thoughts of fear kept surfacing in its mind, as if it was afraid that the Sea King would punish it for admitting its mistake.
"You!" Suddenly, the Sea King shouted at it. "How's the preparation of the Wood Spirit?"
"Caw!" The Skeletal Dragon was stunned. "Yes, it's almost completed..
"Very well, we must be prepared! Only then can the Wood Spirit return! "The Sea King turned around and left after he finished speaking. The White Skeleton Dragon immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
The spy was now following behind the Sea King, while the guards were still searching for him.
According to the Sea King. It seemed that not all Skeletal Dragons could enter the castle, probably because they might be attacked by Sea Dragons. If he wanted to let new Skeleton Dragons in, he would probably have to use some special method.
Or did the Sea Dragon 'know' the King? If that was the case, the relationship between the Skeletal Dragons and the Flying Dragons was really good …
"So busy, so busy, so many things …" King muttered something in a low voice while quickly moving forward. Lin followed him through a room with a door that wasn't closed and was filled with a large number of stone slabs.
It might be like a 'library' where some things were recorded … The spy thought as she walked in.
This place was much smaller than the library in the castle on the ground. The whole room was only about ten meters long and wide, and the stone slabs were piled up in the corner.
Lin picked up a stone slab at random and looked at it. She found that there were a lot of food ingredients recorded on it.
… This was quite complicated. There was a 'cooking method for trilobites' written on it. A trilobite about thirty centimeters long required dozens of ingredients, and the main function of these ingredients was to 'flavor'.
Lin felt that these Skeletal Dragons must be living a very leisurely life, otherwise, they would not have come up with such a thing. It was much more troublesome for them to find these ingredients than trilobites … Or perhaps, such troublesome food was specially eaten by 'nobles'. Ordinary Skeletal Dragons would have a much easier time eating it.
Lin put down the stone slab and picked up the next one. It said 'how to draw'.
This one looked quite normal. Lin put it down and picked up the next one. This one said 'a hundred ways to cheat, so you can grow a shell in one day and night!'
They actually taught on stone slabs how to cheat their own kind? Lin thought that trickery should be done secretly. The Skeletal Dragons were really not simple. But then again, the Skeletal Dragons would not be fooled by these stone slabs.
They probably did not classify these stone slabs properly. After flipping through many stone slabs, Lin finally found a record of the Wood Spirit.
Lin thought that this might have something to do with the creator, but after looking at it, she realized that was not the case.
A long, long time ago, this Skeletal Dragon Island was full of all kinds of trees. The tall trees towered into the sky, and the Skeletal Dragons were naturally very happy to use them.
After they arrived on the island, they began to chop down wood like crazy. Wood was used for many things, such as building houses, making weapons, burning, or making decorations. It could be said that the Skeletal Dragons were completely inseparable from wood. There were also some Skeletal Dragons that specialized in chopping wood to exchange for shells and to buy food.
But because they chopped down trees too frequently, they could not stop in the end. Almost all the trees on the island were chopped down, and in the places where there were no trees, a kind of strange vine began to grow.
The Skeletal Dragons called these vines "Vines of Vengeance." They could grow very big and very quickly. Soon, they covered the areas where the trees were chopped down.
It was because the Vine of Vengeance could not be used without wood. Also, there was a small needle on the vine that would poison anyone who pricked it. Although it was not fatal to the White Skeleton Dragons, they would be unconscious for one to two days. Therefore, it was still dangerous.
Moreover, these vines had a special characteristic. They could take revenge. If they were uprooted, after a day, the Skeletal Dragon that had pulled them out would grow sprouts of the vines all over its body. In the end, the Skeletal Dragon would die from being pierced by the roots of the vines. That was why they were called Vines of Vengeance.
Moreover, the Skeletal Dragons found that even if they set fire to the vines, the vines would quickly regenerate from the ashes. Moreover, they had a lot of water in them, so they were quite difficult to burn.
The Skeletal Dragons were frightened. They thought that the Vines of Vengeance were caused by the Wood Spirit's anger because they had randomly chopped down trees. Therefore, the Wood Spirit let a large number of Vines of Vengeance grow to punish them.
Lin thought that the original trees had suppressed the vines. When the trees disappeared, the vines began to grow crazily. The Vines of Vengeance should be a form of parasitism. They could let their seeds grow on other creatures.
Perhaps the seeds of the vines were at the roots. When the Skeletal Dragons pulled them out completely, they would be splashed on their bodies. This was quite interesting.
Later, the Skeletal Dragons could only pray for the Wood Spirit's forgiveness. The King began to mobilize the entire city. They gathered all the wooden houses and everything made of wood together and threw all the wood back into the jungle formed by the Vines of Vengeance.
No wonder Lin did not see anything wooden here. At most, there were some small shrubs. So it was because of this.
Because of the Skeletal Dragons' actions, the Wood Spirit was willing to forgive them. The Vines of Vengeance slowly stopped spreading to the Skeletal Dragon city.
This was quite interesting. No one knew what stopped the Vines of Vengeance from growing. However, the Vines of Vengeance still occupied a part of the island. Still, the outcome was not bad.
After that, the Skeletal Dragons began to use only stone houses and weapons. They did not use any wood products. If anyone used wood products privately, that Skeletal Dragon would be enslaved.
The Skeletal Dragons also used slaves like the Emerald Dragons, but they did not use them much.
Every once in a while, the Skeletal Dragons would put a large amount of wood back into the jungle of the Vines of Vengeance.
They called this action "returning," which was to return the wood to the Wood Spirit.
Because there was too much wood piled up before, there was no way to put it all back at once. They had to put it back in batches. When the previous batch of wood was almost rotten, they would put it back. At the same time, when the wood was put back, a large number of Skeletal Dragons would hold up the "forest" they had drawn, hoping that the island would return to its former appearance.
However, this seemed unlikely, so the Skeletal Dragons were now more concerned about the development of the sea.
So that was it. There was such an interesting history. When Lin looked down, the image of the Wood Spirit was drawn at the bottom of the stone slab.
Why did it look like another Skeletal Dragon? Moreover, this Skeletal Dragon had a lot of leaves growing on it … The Skeletal Dragons' imaginations were really inseparable from their own appearance …
At this time, Lin left the room and continued to follow the king's scent to the room where he was …
After walking through a short corridor, the spy arrived at the place where the king was. Lin found the king and another Skeletal Dragon in a rather large room. They were discussing matters about the Wood Spirit. The other Skeletal Dragon seemed to be a relatively important character.
"King!" Suddenly, a Skeletal Dragon ran over from the other side of the corridor in a panic and shouted at the Sea King, "The sentries just found a huge piece of wood floating on the water!"
