It had been some time since the brainworm's ship was sunk. Although the brainworm's ship was heading this way, it would take a long time for it to arrive. In order to search for it, the brainworm had split up the entire fleet, and now it would take a long time for it to gather back.
At the same time, in the city of Standing Scorpion, which was occupied by the Emerald Dragons, Susumi seemed to have assumed that Standing Scorpion would not return to attack. She began to send a large number of Emerald Dragons to the city of Standing Scorpion, ready to collect a large number of crystals here.
Many Emerald Dragons wanted to use the crystals to exchange for resources or as some ornaments, but Susumi wanted to use the crystals as weapons or armor …
Lin's spy was still in the city in the sea, in the same room as the Sea King of the Skeletal Dragons.
This room felt much more luxurious than the ones she had seen before. The floor was painted with all kinds of shells, and the walls on both sides were decorated with starfish, corals, lobster claws, trilobite shells, and so on. There were also a large number of living creatures floating in the room — aerial jellyfish. They wandered freely in the room, looking very happy.
In the center of the room stood a statue of a Skeletal Dragon. It held a sharp sword and stepped on the skeleton of an unknown creature in a victorious posture.
Lin carefully studied the creature it was stepping on. The statue was carved out of coral bones, but the creature's bones were real. The triangular skull had six eye sockets. Although it looked like an arthropod, it had a long spine and a lot of spikes on it …
This strange creature had never been seen before. This statue was of the Skeletal Dragon known as the "Sea King I". It was said that it defeated this monster and became the Sea King.
On its shoulder. There was also a small statue of a creature that looked like a miniature version of a sea dragon. Could it be the sea dragon outside?
However, Lin was most concerned about the conversation between the Sea King and the Mountain King. At the end of the room, a group of guards was standing in two neat rows. Among them were the kings sitting on two stone chairs.
"It is said that … they found a lot of things." The one who said this was the Mountain King. He looked taller than the Sea King, and the scales on his body were whiter. He seemed to fit the title of Mountain King very well.
"Did they really return to the Creator's Land?" the Sea King asked. "Shouldn't that place have been destroyed?"
"It wasn't destroyed." The Mountain King said, "It is said that there are forests and many strange creatures that we have never seen before. Although the exploration team suffered heavy casualties, they still brought back a lot of information. However, I have to go back and ask the Jing Kuang to know the real situation."
"Jing Kuang? That idiot I loathe? Was it still alive? Are you sure that the information it brought back is accurate? "The Sea King seemed to have a very bad impression of Jing Kuang …
"Of course, at least it won't deceive me, and I won't deceive you." The Mountain King suddenly showed an expression called a 'smile'. It put its hand on the Sea King's shoulder and said, "If the 'Creator's Land' is really that good, then it proves that the Creator may have come back. It had dealt with the terrifying creature there and allowed the land to be filled with vitality once more! This is also an opportunity for us to accept its gift. Our race will be able to expand! "
Sure enough, every king liked to expand their territory very much.
"…" The Sea King lowered its head as if thinking about something. Then, it suddenly said, "Oh right, about the Wood Spirit …"
Then, the Sea King told the Mountain King about the encounter with the brainworm's ship. The Sea King seemed a little nervous in the process because a strange creature that used wood products had suddenly appeared. It might affect the final 'Return of the Wood', and it might cause the Wood Spirit to be angry.
Rin found that these two kings believed in their own worship very much, which was completely different from Susumi. However, if they could not chop too much wood like the brainworm, and use wood in a balanced and reasonable way, they would never anger the Wood Spirit.
The Mountain King did not seem to care much about this. It said, "It doesn't matter. As long as you succeed in sinking it, the 'Return of the Wood' will still be held as usual. However, about the Creator's Land …"
The Mountain King quickly changed the topic back to the mainland. During their conversation, it was obvious that the Mountain King wanted to return to the mainland very much. Was it because it had stayed here for too long? The Sea King did not seem to care much about this matter. In fact, it hated the Jing Kuang very much. It seemed that the Jing Kuang was famous for its extreme selfishness. The Sea King even suggested that all this was a scam by the Jing Kuang.
"The direction of Mugu's flight can't be determined at all. How do you know if it went to a strange place, killed all its companions, and planned to trick you into going there?"
The Sea King's words seemed to be quite close. 'Mugu' was the name that the White Skeleton Dragon used to call the Skyjellyfish.
From their conversation, Rin already knew how the White Skeleton Dragon came to explore the mainland. The Skyjellyfish had a habit of returning. The White Skeleton Dragon probably placed the young Skyjellyfish in the pond in the castle on the mountain. After it grew up, the Skyjellyfish would remember this place and fly out periodically to search for food, then fly back.
The Skyjellyfish would rest near the ground after flying for a period of time, so the White Skeleton Dragon could also go out to explore while the Skyjellyfish rested. When the Skyjellyfish returned, one of the White Skeleton Dragon burned some plants for the Skyjellyfish to smell. That had the function of waking the Skyjellyfish up in advance and allowing it to return.
Based on the Skyjellyfish's habit, the White Skeleton Dragon tied a basket under it and then formed an expedition team to explore the world beyond the island …
At first, the White Skeleton Dragon probably thought that this was purely an act of suicide, because the Skyjellyfish could fly into the sea or other strange places. However, it could also discover the situation on the mainland, which could be a good opportunity to 'shell'!
Therefore, the Jing Kuang and some other White Skeleton Dragons formed an expedition team and hitched a ride with the Skyjellyfish to an unknown place. Later, the Jing Kuang successfully killed most of the members of the expedition team and several of its companions, and successfully brought back the crystal that allowed it to 'shell' instantly …
Like the Emerald Dragon, the White Skeleton Dragon regarded crystals and other shiny things that they found by chance as' precious items'. Usually, they could only find very small fragments, but the huge crystal that Jing Kuang brought back could be exchanged for half of the city …
No wonder the Jing Kuang was so persistent back then. However, it was strange that they regarded such things as' precious items' that had no practical use.
"Don't say that about the Jing Kuang. To me, it's still trustworthy." The Mountain King, on the other hand, trusted the Jing Kuang, although it did not know why. Perhaps there was a special reason.
The Sea King seemed to be a little angry. "Don't forget, it has always wanted to replace your position!"
Based on what it said, it seemed that the Jing Kuang might become the king? This was a big problem if it was allowed to become the king.
The rest of their discussion did not yield any results. The Mountain King kept saying that it wanted to explore the mainland, but the Sea King did not care about this matter. Instead, it kept changing the topic to the Wood Spirit.
After the discussion, they began to eat. Lin found that they were eating the trilobite that she had seen on the stone slab before, which required a lot of seasoning … and they looked quite amused as they ate it.
The two White Skeleton Dragons did not eat it directly. Instead, they took out a stone tool with a very sharp end and poked it here and there. They carefully poked the legs of the trilobite, and then took out the meat inside bit by bit to eat.
There was very little meat in the trilobite. Most of it was in the legs, and most of the seasoning that they put in was sprinkled on the shell. It felt like a waste.
Moreover, the meat that they ate was slowly picked out with the stone tip. It took them a few thousand seconds to finish the whole trilobite. There was still a lot left inside that they did not eat. They basically did not lick the seasoning that was sprinkled on the outside. Moreover, Lin felt that they were definitely not full …
Lin thought that they might have been living too leisurely, which was why they had such a … wasteful way of eating.
After they finished eating, the Mountain King planned to go back. Like the other White Skeleton Dragons, it swam back. When it swam out of the castle, the sea dragon did not seem to be hostile.
They were probably very familiar with each other. The Mountain King seemed to be planning to prepare some things about the wood spirit. The White Skeleton Dragons in the castle were not the only ones drawing pictures. In fact, almost all the White Skeleton Dragons on the ground and in the sea were drawing pictures related to the 'forest'. It seemed that they really wanted a forest. After all, the forest could be said to be the 'foundation of all living things'.
Although there were many creatures in the forest of the Vine of Vengeance, there were only a few species, and their forms were too monotonous. This forced the White Skeleton Dragons to expand into the sea. However, they could not withstand too much water pressure and could not expand indefinitely in the sea.
Lin felt that instead of building houses underwater, they should find a way to build houses that floated on the surface of the water.
However, these species seemed to expand without restraint. Even the Aztec worms were not like this. Perhaps they should be 'taught'?
But it was better to observe first. Currently, Lin had not made any progress in finding the creator, but she had learned some information. Obviously, this creator was the direct cause of the dinosaurs on the continent.
After the mystery of the continent was solved, perhaps she should look for related information underground.
And that ball … Floating astronomy.
