The castle was now ablaze with flames. Under the influence of the Jing Kuang, the guards gathered together and happily held a banquet. They drank delicious drinks and ate delicious food, enjoying the wonderful life brought to them by the Jing Kuang.
However, they did not notice what was happening in the square.
Lin watched as a crack slowly appeared on the back of the Echo Worm. It felt like a chrysalis was about to metamorphose, and something was crawling out from inside.
Why did the Jing Kuang not dispose of the carcass, but leave it in the center of the square? Lin felt that they might have thought it was too troublesome. Moreover, the Skeleton Dragons had never seen a creature that could survive being burned.
But in fact, there were many such creatures. Some plant seeds needed to be burned at high temperatures to break open their shells. Then, they would fall on the ashes and germinate. Because the fire burned everything, they had no opponents and sufficient nutrients to support their growth.
Apparently, there was a similar structure in the body of this Echo Worm. It might have used its shell to contain something, and after the body was destroyed, the thing inside could still survive.
"Woo …" With a cry, the creature crawled out from the remains of the Echo Worm. It shook its body and shook off all the dust on its body, revealing its appearance.
This creature … looked like a round ball of meat with a diameter of about three meters. There were many wrinkles on the surface of its body and some spikes. There were many thick tentacles around its body. As a whole, it looked like a close relative of the ancient squid, a creature known as the octopus …
But the most eye-catching thing was the top of its head. There was a semi-circular transparent cover. And inside the cover was … a brain.
Why did it put its brain in that position? It was very strange …
"Where is this? Caw … "Suddenly. The creature spoke in a low and fluent Skeleton Dragon language.
Strange, why did these creatures speak the Skeleton Dragon language? Did the Prophet teach them?
"Caw!" Suddenly, it let out a painful howl. After a few seconds, it said, "Could it be … I know what happened … Caw!"
"It turned into such a strange creature … Caw! No, don't try to control me! "
The creature had been talking to itself the entire time. Moreover, it kept twisting its body and struggling. Lin thought of a special possibility …
With that in mind, Lin slowly approached the creature and carefully looked at its brain under the hood … As expected! This was the brain of a White Skeleton Dragon. Was it really like this?
This brain should be the Sea King's brain. When the Echo Worm ate the Sea King's head, it did not "kill" it. Instead, it took out its brain and stored it in its body. That was why the Echo Worm could speak the White Skeleton Dragon's language. And this creature … seemed to be directly controlled by the Sea King's brain.
However, it did not seem to be able to fully control it. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a phenomenon. The creature was probably sending messages to the Sea King's brain, allowing it to move in the way it wanted.
However, the Sea King refused to listen and shouted, "No! You can't control me! You are not the Creator, you are not … Gah! I'll kill you! Even if I have to die together with you! " It struggled like a madman. It rolled around on the ground and crashed into the high platform in the middle of the square. This lasted for a few hundred seconds before it slowed down.
"I understand … Let's move." The Sea King seemed to have calmed down. It was no longer crazy and did not resist. Instead, it moved its body and walked toward the city.
This was a very special phenomenon. It should belong to one of the Atte soldiers. Moreover, it could connect to the Sea King's brain? However, Lin thought that it might not be fully controlled by the Sea King and that the creature was still moving on its own. After all, its body shape was completely different from the White Skeleton Dragon's, so it was impossible for it to move so smoothly. The Sea King's brain might only provide it with a part of its thinking ability.
At the same time, this creature was also providing nutrients to the Sea King's brain to keep it alive. It was connected to the Sea King's brain through nerve lines so that they could "communicate" with each other.
In any case, this new "Sea King" now seemed to belong to the Atte tribe.
Now, the square was empty. None of the White Skeleton Dragons noticed the appearance of the "Sea King." The Sea King slowly moved to a house next to the square. Suddenly, it said, "Don't go that way. There are many dragons there."
"Coo …" Then, it walked in another direction.
This was interesting. They could actually communicate with each other? This creature might have another brain in its body. They could really communicate with each other. However, there was no need for it to make sounds. It might just be a habit of the Sea King.
It seemed that the Sea King was not controlled by the White Skeleton Dragon. Instead, it was raised by the creature. Because of the nerve connection, the Sea King's thoughts could also affect the creature's movements.
Now, it … or rather, 'they' had crawled into the small paths between the houses. It crawled carefully in the dark, afraid of being discovered by other White Skeleton Dragons.
Lin thought that this creature should be called … Just call it the Sea King. Lin thought that they should capture it and study it carefully.
Lin wanted to know the Atte tribe's purpose. She wanted to see if they wanted to revive their tribe or do something else.
"Something is following us? I know … "Suddenly, the Sea King made a small sound. It seemed that the Sea King had noticed that a spy was following them.
"It's just a dragon. Let's stop first and kill it when it gets close," the Sea King said in a small voice. Then, it stopped and stood there motionlessly.
Everyone here heard it … Although the Sea King had used a small voice that ordinary White Skeleton Dragons couldn't hear, it was ineffective against spies. However, this was also good. Lin didn't have to guess what it was thinking.
Lin had already transferred some troops from the nearest air base. However, this island was quite far away. It would take some time for them to arrive.
Before that, let's see what it's going to do.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in front of them. A White Skeleton Dragon walked into the alley. Although it was dark, with the help of the starlight, the White Skeleton Dragon saw a huge monster lying in the middle of the alley …
"Caw —!!" It suddenly screamed loudly. Two guards happened to pass by the entrance of the alley. They heard it and immediately ran in.
