"Gah!" A blood-curdling scream echoed through the lightless night sky.
As the two skeletal dragons pulled out their spikes, a huge amount of blood gushed out wildly, and the Mountain King fell to the ground with a cry.
Seeing that they had succeeded, the two skeletal dragons immediately turned and fled into the dragons. It was only then that the guards around the Mountain King reacted and gave chase.
But in this complicated city, it should be difficult to catch them …
Because it had just returned from the coast, the Mountain King did not have a mount or armor. It had nothing, and the guards around it appeared weak after the previous incident. This was the king's weakest moment.
But it did not expect that the skeletal dragons would actually attack. The king was indeed detestable, but it was not because it did not handle the city's construction or resource allocation well, but because it did not care about these things. Compared to managing the entire city, the Mountain King preferred to do what it liked. It spent almost every day and night enjoying itself, and rarely managed the city.
And this time, when it heard about the situation on land, it did not care so much and left the castle with a large number of troops.
This caused the other skeletal dragons to be dissatisfied with it, but Lin really did not expect them to actually kill the king.
Still, it could be other skeletal dragons doing the same thing … But it was only possible for these selfish species. Although it was possible for normal creatures to kill their leader, they would never use such sneaky and 'despicable' means to challenge their leader. What was this called again?
Right. It seemed to be called 'assassin'.
"Gah …" The Mountain King now fell to the ground. Its abdomen was still bleeding. The two Skeletal Dragon 'assassins' did not hit any vital parts, which was why the King of the Mountains did not die immediately. Even so, it was in grave danger. Fortunately, some of the Skeletal Dragon guards seemed to know how to heal. One of the Skeletal Dragon guards quickly plugged the King of the Mountains' wound with a plant leaf and smeared some strange liquid on it.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Under the dark clouds of the night, a group of guards carried the Mountain King back into the castle. The king was now unconscious, and after entering the castle, it was quickly moved to a special room for treatment.
There were many White Skeleton Dragons that were good at healing. They were all gathered here, but they seemed to be at a loss when it came to such wounds.
Just like how they usually liked to use tools, they also liked to use all kinds of things when they healed. However, Lin found that most of the White Skeleton Dragons' healing methods were targeted at certain diseases. They basically used plants to heal. They also know how to put something on the wound to stop bacteria from getting in.
Although they didn't know that there were bacteria, they knew that applying some plant juice could prevent the wound from getting worse. It was probably the result of many experiments.
However, they didn't seem to know how to deal with such a large wound. At most, they only knew how to stop the bleeding. Then, they could only watch Wang Manman recover or die.
Lin also did a quick check and found that some of King's internal organs had been injured. Although he wouldn't die immediately, it was only a matter of time.
Unless … Lin helps it.
Just as the surrounding Skeleton Dragon healers were nervously surrounding the King, the door to the room was pushed open, and a special Skeleton Dragon entered.
… Jing Kuang. It really was him.
"You are …" The surrounding White Skeleton Dragons stepped aside when they saw Jing Kuang. This was because Jing Kuang now had a very high status in the castle. After all, he was the 'Hero' who landed in the 'Creator's Land'.
"King, what the hell is going on?" Jing Kuang walked up to King, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Who the hell did this to him!"
As he spoke, he made a very sad expression … as if he was very worried about King.
Wasn't this a little too obvious … Lin felt that Jing Kuang wasn't handling things well here. If he hadn't come over, it would have seemed more realistic. Although the news of the king being attacked spread quickly, it didn't spread that quickly. Besides, other skeletal dragons weren't allowed to enter Jing Kuang's room, and he usually stayed there all day without coming out.
Now that he received the news and ran out so quickly, it felt like he had been exposed. Although Lin had already thought of this, his running over made it even more certain.
So this was Jing Kuang's so-called conspiracy. Let the King of the Mountain go out, then wait for him to come back and stab him to death.
Or let the King of the Mountain die on land with endless dangers. The result would be the same. In this way, the surrounding White Skeleton Dragons would probably accept him as the new king.
Lin had also heard the White Skeleton Dragons on the street discussing something about 'not being accepted by the creator'. She guessed that it was Jing Kuang's doing. He probably knew that King couldn't enter land, so the other White Skeleton Dragon residents would spread the news and think that he wasn't accepted by the creator.
However, the other White Skeleton Dragons didn't seem to suspect anything. Perhaps it was because they had never experienced something like this before? A White Skeleton Dragon guard said to Jing Kuang, "I don't know … Two dragons suddenly ran out and stabbed King …"
"I see, I know."
Jing Kuang suddenly stood up and said, "I've already guessed this, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Those two White Skeleton Dragons that attacked King, I know where they came from."
"What?" The surrounding White Skeleton Dragons were shocked. "Who was it that tried to assassinate King?"
"They're dragons from the Sea King's side." After Jing Kuang said this, the surrounding White Skeleton Dragons suddenly went into an uproar.
… Was he planning to make an enemy of the Sea King so soon? Lin felt that Jing Kuang wasn't good at hiding, but there really weren't any White Skeleton Dragons around who suspected him.
"No!"
At this time, another White Skeleton Dragon walked into the room. This White Skeleton Dragon was the Prophet that Lin had seen before, the old White Skeleton Dragon. He pointed at Jing Kuang and shouted, "It wasn't the Sea King who attacked King! It was … "
"Don't listen to him!" Jing Kuang suddenly shouted, interrupting the Prophet. "This Prophet …" Jing Kuang hesitated, then said again, "He has violated his own rules. He's no longer a Prophet!"
Lin also noticed that the old White Skeleton Dragon's voice was a little strange. It was because of the damage caused by his loud roar last time. However, was the Prophet's rules something that all dragons knew?
"Arrest the Prophet who violated the rules!" At Jing Kuang's shout, a few guards walked up hesitantly. However, before they could touch the Prophet, another White Skeleton Dragon rushed in and shouted, "King, there's a situation! There's a lot of huge logs on the water by the shore! "
