"Where did this monster come from? Has it been buried here since the beginning? " Jing Kuang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the monster burrowing into the pile of split brains. Lin walked over to the edge of the pit and looked down. She saw that the hole the monster had burrowed into was still there, and a large number of split brains were squeezing into it …
There might be even deeper tunnels down here. Lin Sanjiu decided to go down and take a look later.
Now that most of the guards had recovered, Jing Kuang looked around and said, "You guys, capture those strange dragons and get rid of those disgusting lumps of meat!"
So that's how it is. Those split brains are disgusting to normal Skeletal Dragons? Lin had just noticed this. Disgust was a very useful feeling, as it could keep creatures away from all kinds of danger. However, the Skeletal Dragons that had been 'inspired' obviously did not find the split brains disgusting …
"Gah!" The guards who had recovered immediately got to work. At that moment, the Prophet, whose sword was stuck in the ground, took advantage of Jing Kuang's carelessness to pull out its sword. Then, it quickly ran to the edge of the pit and jumped into the pile of split brains.
"You!" Just as Jing Kuang was about to give chase, he saw the Prophet dive into the pile of split-brains. When he saw the countless wriggling split-brains, Jing Kuang's face had an uncomfortable expression. He didn't want to chase after the Prophet.
Just like that, Jing Kuang's guards captured all the Skeletal Dragons and tied them up with ropes. To deal with the pile of split brains, Jing Kuang also ordered a group of guards to bring over many cans of something called 'grey oil'.
Grey oil was mainly made from a kind of mud that they dug up from the bottom of the sea and dried under the sun. It burned very efficiently.
"Pour the oil in!" A large number of guards stood at the edge of the pit and ordered under Jing Kuang's command. He poured all the oil in his hands into the hole of the split brain. The split brains were drowned in the oil. One by one, they began to struggle.
They might have been intelligent, but their mobility was too poor. There was no way they could escape. When the pit was filled with oil, a guard brought in a brazier that had been burning around the room and poured the fuel inside along with the flames …
"Phew …"
The light of the flames instantly made the entire space extremely dazzling. The air was filled with the smell of burning flesh and blood, and a special sound, "Ah —"
It sounded like a scream. Were these brains … screaming? They seemed to be sending out brainwaves before they were consumed by the flames. The brainwaves were transmitted continuously, and it sounded like claws scratching wood. It made Jing Kuang and the White Skeleton Dragons very uncomfortable.
"That should be enough … That monster will definitely be burned to death or suffocated down there! Let's leave! " Because his brain waves felt extremely uncomfortable, Jing Kuang quickly led the guards and dragged the tied-up Skeleton Dragons away from this place.
Now, all that was left was a burning pit.
Because they were in a cave, the constant burning caused the oxygen to disappear very quickly. The surroundings were soon filled with the smell of burnt smoke, and the flames were slowly extinguished. All that was left was a large pile of charred remains. A large number of split brains and the Sea King's headless corpse had been burned to ashes. Some of the ones buried below might not have been burned, but they would also suffocate or die from the heat.
The split brains did not retaliate except for a scream. Lin felt that they might not be able to send out any powerful brainwaves in their shellless state, and … they were no longer of any value. The monster had been successfully "revived," so there was no need for the split brains.
With that in mind, Lin's spy jumped into the pile of charred flesh and began to dig at the place where the monster had burrowed. After a while, Lin reached the bottom.
The pit was very shallow, about three meters or so. However, there was a strange sight at the bottom of the pit. A group of split brains had their tentacles tightly wrapped around each other. Even after death, the tentacles did not loosen in the slightest. After Lin pulled the tentacles away, she saw a large black hole at the bottom.
The spy entered the hole and slowly crawled down …
This seemed to be quite deep …
After walking for a while, the spy reached the bottom. It was a very spacious cave, and there was a damp puddle of water on the ground. There were many skeletons on the puddle of water, and a type of glowing fungus grew on the bones. There were also many small beetles around.
It felt like a very special place. Because of the light, Lin saw the monster lying on the ground as soon as she entered. The arrow in its face had been removed, and the Diviner was lying beside it.
The monster did look like a worm. Its body was about ten meters long, and it felt like an elongated brain monster.
Are they … resting now? That's interesting …
At the same time, the Jing Kuang was leading the guards to search the cave. After it brought the group of 'inspired' skeletal dragons out, they began to search the cave.
"This is … a tree!" Lin released her eyeballs and followed the Jing Kuang to the room where the Diviner held the ritual. There were many recording trees here, and the skeletal dragons called them 'trees'. It sounded strange.
"There's one here too!" "There's one here too!" The voices of the guards came from the surrounding rooms. They had found the Tree of Life in the rooms in the surrounding rock walls.
"There are so many of them … Are these seeds?" In the Diviner's room, the Jing Kuang opened a bag and saw that it was filled with small, densely packed seeds.
Trees were very expensive in the skeletal dragon city. One seed could sell for about a thousand shells. This was because this plant was very rare, and it always died mysteriously. It was very difficult to raise. Most skeletal dragons believed that its brown leaves could be used as medicine. Some skeletal dragons used it to record the sounds of other creatures, and some even thought that they could communicate with the wood spirit through it. Although it seemed to have many uses, it was actually not very useful. It was only expensive because it was' rare '.
The skeletal dragons did not understand the pattern of its recording and pronunciation. The Diviner seemed to understand, but it obviously did not spread the word.
"Take these away!" Under the Jing Kuang's command, the guards took the bag of seeds out. At the same time, they began to uproot the trees on the ground.
When one of the guards was uprooting a tree, he accidentally touched the swollen part at the base of the tree.
"Ah —!!!" The tree suddenly screamed, and the guard was so scared that he threw the tree to the ground.
"Gugugu!" "Ahhhhhh!" "Wahahaha!"
After that tree shouted, all the other trees in the cave began to shout as well.
"What's going on?" The guards were shocked by the sudden screams. The trees sounded different, but the frequency was very similar.
The moment they screamed, the monster in front of Lin's spy suddenly woke up, as if it had been awakened.
"Gugu …" The moment it woke up, it saw the spy in front of it.
A wave of brain waves spread out as the monster woke up. Lin knew that changing color was useless against this thing, but it did not seem to have any intention of attacking.
"You … Come here." Suddenly, a low voice came from the monster's mouth. It was using the skeletal dragon's language …
It could talk? Its mouth did not move at all, so it might have a vocal sac or something.
But why did it want the spy to go over?
The spy did not move. Seeing this, the monster continued to say, "Come here, come here, come here …" It kept repeating this word, and at the same time, sent out brain waves with the same meaning …
It seemed like it wanted to control the spy to go over? But that was obviously impossible.
"Why don't you come over yourself?" The spy asked tentatively, and the creature was stunned for a moment before it stopped its brain waves and voice.
Then, it fell into a state of silence again.
It seemed like it did not want to move, but used this method of control. Just like when it was shot by the Jing Kuang, it did not rush forward, but instead fled back into the ground.
"Gah?" At this time, the Prophet under the monster woke up. When it saw the spy, it jumped up with a stick and said, "Who are you?"
"Kill," the monster suddenly said, "Kill it, head, and bring it back."
"Gah!" After hearing the monster's' order ', the Prophet raised the stick and rushed at the spy! But the spy easily kicked the stick out of the Prophet's hand and pinned the spy to the ground.
The Prophet was stronger than the average Skeletal Dragon, but overall, it was very weak. These Skeletal Dragons were like babies compared to the Emerald Dragons or the Skeletal Dragons.
"Gah …" The Prophet was pinned to the ground by the spy. It cried out in pain, but the monster was still indifferent. Its huge size was just for show.
"There's a hole here!" Suddenly, there was a voice from above. It seemed like the Jing Kuang's guards had come back to investigate and found a hole dug by the spy in the middle of the charred split-brain …
"Gah!" The monster seemed to panic when it heard the voice. It raised its head and looked left and right, but there were rocks everywhere. It seemed like it had nowhere to run.
Although it looked like a worm, it did not seem to have dug this hole. Then, what was with the tremors when it 'woke up'?
"Go down and take a look!" Following the voice, a large group of guards and Jing Kuang entered the hole together.
Lin immediately went into stealth mode. Now, only the Prophet and the monster were left in this place …
"Gah!" The Prophet ran to the monster's side, and a large number of guards surrounded them.
"You pathetic group of abandoned people!" The Prophet looked at the guards and shouted, "You have been abandoned by your creator, and you dare to disrespect its messenger? Do you know what will happen to you?"
"I only know that your blood will be spilled in this hole!" The Jing Kuang shouted, "Crossbows ready … fire!"
