Thud! Lin looked at the skeleton dragon that was likely to be the Third Prophet and said a lot of things. It then stabbed the wooden stick in its hand into the ground and shouted, "The creator will be revived!"
Then … nothing happened.
"Caw?" The skeleton dragon seemed to be quite surprised. Then, it continued to stab the ground with the stick and said, "Revive! Revive! "
No matter how hard it tried, nothing happened. Some of the Skeleton Dragons around it were looking at it with strange expressions. It had to stop and ask in confusion, "Is there something wrong with this ritual?"
Lin looked at the skeleton dragon and noticed a problem. The stick in its hand … was actually made of wood.
And it didn't look like a random branch, but wood that had been specially shaved. There were many strange patterns carved on it, as if it was made with great care.
The skeleton dragons hadn't used wood products for a long time. Did this group of skeleton dragons not worship the Wood Spirit?
And the strange ritual they were doing now seemed to be the method to revive the creator that Lin had seen before.
But it obviously didn't work … Lin didn't think that doing some strange actions and saying some strange words could revive the creator.
"Prophet … What's the reason?" A skeleton dragon asked. "We've been preparing for so long. Why is there no reaction?"
The Prophet, who was indeed the White Skeleton Dragon with the wooden stick, said, "This … That's impossible. I listen to what it says to me every day and night. There's no way I'm wrong … Right, maybe someone is out of sync!"
"Go and investigate!" As soon as the Prophet finished speaking, the skeleton dragons around it immediately dispersed. They walked to the rock wall on one side of the cave and pulled open the stone door, revealing the room inside …
Lin found that there were five Skeleton Dragons gathered in almost every room. They were wearing clothes that seemed to be woven from leaves, and they were originally sitting on the ground motionless. They were sitting on the ground, but when they saw the door open, they immediately stood up.
"Which one of you is out of sync?" The skeleton dragon that opened the door said. "How dare you do such a thing. All our efforts will be in vain!"
Lin followed behind it curiously. What did they mean by out of sync?
"No, we are definitely not out of sync!" The skeleton dragons in the room all shook their heads. "You can investigate!"
"Really?" The Skeleton Dragon that opened the door walked to the corner of the room. Lin saw a plant that looked like a small tree, but its leaves were brown.
The tree must have been specially planted by the White Skeleton Dragon. There was a pile of soil where the tree grew from. The Skeletal Dragon gently pulled the tree up and saw a swollen structure at the root.
Lin felt like she had seen that structure before.
Then, the White Skeleton Dragon knocked on the swollen part. Immediately, the tree let out a series of sounds — "Gu Ga Ga Ga …"
Didn't the voice come from the Skeleton Dragons in the room just now? Could it be that this tree … was the same kind of crystal tree?
Lin still remembered that the crystal trees in the Crystal Forest had a strange 'recording' structure. It could record a creature's voice and replay it at certain times.
And this tree … seemed to have the same function?
The White Skeleton Dragon knocked a few times and listened to the gurgling sounds inside. Then it said, "There's indeed no sign of dissynchronization. Let's check the next one!"
After saying that, it buried the tree in the ground and walked to the next room.
Lin watched it leave and immediately went to the tree. She used the Spy's Claw to insert a miniature soldier into the tree to observe the situation inside …
When the soldier quickly passed through the transmission pipe in the tree and entered the root, Lin found the organ. After some investigation, Lin found that … it was indeed the case.
This tree did indeed have a recording organ like the crystal tree. Although it was much smaller than the crystal tree, it still had the same effect of being able to record the sounds of nearby creatures.
This structure was very strange. Because it looked useless, Lin thought that it should also be a kind of crystal tree. Although it wasn't covered with a crystallized skin and was very small, its body structure was very similar to that of a normal creature.
Indeed, there were some species that were very different but of the same type. Did the White Skeleton Dragon plant this tree here specifically for … recording?
The Skeleton Dragons continued to investigate the other rooms. There were trees in every room. They pulled up the trees to listen. Lin found that most of the leaves of these trees were chewed up. They seemed to be made of jade, which caused the leaves to be dyed brown.
The Skeleton Dragons mainly listened to the frequency of the sounds in the trees. It seemed that every gurgling sound had to be made at a certain time. If it was slightly faster or slower, it would be regarded as' dissynchronization '.
It seemed that this was how the ritual was conducted. The Skeleton Dragons in all the rooms here would make the same sound at the same time. Then the Prophet would recite some strange words and use a wooden stick to knock on the ground and say to revive the creator.
However, the Prophet thought that the Skeleton Dragons in the room who were chanting 'gurgling' were not in sync, which caused the ritual to fail.
However, they had now investigated all the rooms of the Skeleton Dragons. There were a total of nineteen rooms, and they found that they were all in sync … Now, there was only one room left …
This room was the one that Lin had seen at the beginning. The door was not closed tightly, and she could see what was inside through the cracks …
The investigating White Skeleton Dragon pulled open the door to the last room. It explained to the White Skeleton Dragon inside, then went to uproot the tree and listened carefully.
The first few sounds seemed to be synchronized, but the last one … Lin heard it three seconds earlier than the last one.
"Gurgling! There's something dissynchronization here! "The Skeleton Dragon immediately shouted when it heard this." Prophet! I found it! "
Lin felt that the Skeleton Dragon's hearing and memory were pretty good, because it was hard to tell if one did not pay close attention.
The Prophet also arrived at this time. She looked at the five Skeleton Dragons in the room and said, "How dare you dissynchronize? You have offended the creator! Kill them! "
"No! No! "The five Skeleton Dragons said in a panic." Can't we do it again? Some mistakes are inevitable … "
"Shut up! You trespassers! "The Prophet shouted." Take them away! "
"Gurgling!" At this time, the Skeletal Dragons in the other houses gathered and surrounded the Skeletal Dragon in this house. They grabbed the five Skeletal Dragons, stripped them naked, and tied them up.
"No!!!" Ignoring their screams, the group of Skeleton Dragons led them to the fork in the mine tunnel, where Lin had been before.
They walked into another tunnel, and Lin's spy followed them. When they first entered this tunnel, they could smell … a rotten smell …
The smell grew stronger as they went deeper into the tunnel. The Skeleton Dragons were uncomfortable, but they still moved forward. Soon, Lin followed them to the end of the tunnel …
This was …
A strange scene unfolded before Lin's eyes. This was a space that was at least thirty meters wide. There was a round pit about twenty meters in diameter on the ground, and the pit was filled with … split brains.
Where did they get so many split brains? These things filled the round pit, and there were many skeletons and all kinds of remains around the pit. The rotten smell came from them.
Lin also noticed that these split brains were not covered with crystals. Each split brain was usually covered with crystals on the outside, and flesh on the inside, but they appeared in the form of flesh.
Moreover … they were all moving slowly, as if their mobility was much stronger than the common split brains.
"Execute these offenders!" Suddenly, the Prophet shouted. The five Skeleton Dragons were pushed to the front of the pit. They were pressed to the ground, and a few Skeleton Dragons stood behind them with weapons in their hands.
"No … Gurgling!" Following a series of screams, the five Skeleton Dragons' limbs were chopped off! Blood spurted out like a fountain.
The Skeleton Dragons who had their limbs chopped off were in so much pain that they could not even make a sound. They were then thrown into the pit filled with split brains. The split brains immediately began to move, and the slender tentacles that grew out of their bodies moved, slowly surrounding the Skeleton Dragons.
The White Skeleton Dragons were soon drowned by the huge number of split-brains, and their severed limbs were also thrown into the pits of the split-brains.
The Skeleton Dragons around them watched this scene in silence. Lin noticed that some of the Skeleton Dragons were slightly fearful, but most of them did not feel anything at all … This was really strange.
They were actually so cruel to their own kind. This really opened Lin's' eyes'.
"Let the offenders be devoured. This is the best punishment for them!" After the Prophet finished speaking, she led the large group of Skeleton Dragons back.
Lin's spy remained in this place.
The sight of so many split brains gathered together was quite spectacular. Moreover, they seemed to be different from the common split brains. Apart from having no shells and being very active, they also had a special characteristic — they did not emit brain waves.
Lin did not know how they gathered here. Were they also born from the Brain Creation Monsters? Furthermore, to feed so many split brains, where would the Prophet find the food?
Could it be … that she used other Skeleton Dragons to feed these split brains?
