"Tell me your purpose and your secret!"
"Don't even think about it! I'll never tell you! "
"Then … I'll just have to dig out your head!"
This was a strange space. It was a desert surrounded by sand and dust. As long as the wind blew gently, rocks would be shattered into pieces, and the fragments would be reorganized by the wind and sand to form rocks again.
A large, round creature was lying on top of a worm-like creature. It yelled, "Where are my tools for dissecting skulls?"
As soon as it finished speaking, a large number of stone fragments condensed around it and formed a sharp tool.
But just as it was about to stab the tool, a voice sounded.
"I've been summoned!" The round creature looked at the creature it was pressing down on and said, "I'll leave first, but remember, I've won this time!" After that, it began to roll its body slowly into the air …
"I don't feel good after returning to this world." When it opened its eyes again, the headworm was on its ship. It looked around and found Lin's carrier floating beside it.
The carrier opened its mouth, and a strange creature landed in front of the headworm.
"Do you have any impression of this creature?" Lin asked the headworm.
If the headworm had any interaction with the Atte race in the past, it should have some impression of this relatively advanced troop class. But it might not have, so it decided to take a look first. This creature, which contained the Sea King's brain and another brain, obviously had high intelligence. It should be a commander-level creature.
The headworm looked at the creature carefully and said, "It looks stupid. It needs to be studied."
Lin said, "We can't kill it yet. This thing is very interesting. "
…
That was it. Lin gave the Sea King to the headworm to study for a while. Lin continued to observe other things.
Now, many things were happening everywhere. In the salt flats, Lin built an underground base and continued to dig deeper into the ground for research. She found more of those strange plant roots.
There seemed to be a huge network of roots here, but she did not find any 'physical' parts.
At the same time, on the Skeletal Dragon Island. Lin's spies also looked up more information about them living on land. Although most of the information said that the creator was in the form of a Skeletal Dragon and came here from a distant place.
But there was also a small amount of information that showed that the creator was originally on land. At some point, it destroyed the monsters on land … those large arthropods, and then created the Skeletal Dragon and other creatures.
Although there was less information on this side, the side with less information felt more reliable. It was different from what the white skeleton dragon thought. Perhaps the creator … had never left.
If they continued to dig, they should find something.
On the Skeletal Dragon Island, something special was going on in the Jing Kuang.
After a few previous events. The support for Jing Kuang had reached its peak. Everyone in the Skeleton Dragon City, including the young ones, knew Jing Kuang's name. At the same time, Jing Kuang began to officially manage the city.
Its first order was to increase the amount of stone collected at the mining site to make more weapons. At the same time, it began to recruit more soldiers.
Jing Kuang made a propaganda to the residents of the city. "In the land of the creator, there are not only endless forests and wonderful creatures, but also many terrifying creatures. They have occupied the place that originally belonged to us, so we need the power to drive them out! We are the real people of the creator! "
"If you think you are strong enough, go to the castle and sign up for the war to return to the land of the creator!"
This propaganda seemed to be very effective. Many Skeletal Dragons went to the castle to sign up and join the army. However, Jing Kuang was not like Susumi's last recruitment. Those recruited Skeletal Dragons had to go through strict training before they could officially join the army.
Presumably, Jing Kuang still remembered the scene of the Emerald Dragons attacking Scorpion City. In order to face those powerful green creatures, he needed an even more powerful army … Although the White Skeleton Dragons were not physically strong, they still had the advantage of numbers.
They were the most numerous of the three types of Skeletal Dragons. In fact, if they had not been attacked by the plague fungi before and then migrated to the island, they would have spread all over the mainland.
Moreover, they had many powerful weapons. They were not as simple as equipment made of smelted stone. Many of the weapons were invented when they lived on the mainland. Although they were not on the island, their information was recorded in the stone slabs in the library. As long as Jing Kuang wanted to, it should be easy to create them.
Jing Kuang's landing would obviously cause a big impact on the mainland.
However, Jing Kuang did not only want to build an army. It was also developing a special tool.
It wanted to bring most of the Skeletal Dragons on the island to the mainland in one go. In order to achieve this goal, it was planning to create something that could cross the Rift Valley …
Aerial Jellyfish could not be commanded, so the Skeletal Dragons could not rely on this creature. However, Jing Kuang seemed to have come up with a way to rely on the smaller aerial jellyfish …
"This is very good. I can let them carry us one by one …" Jing Kuang was in the largest house in the castle, also known as the 'palace'. It sat on the largest seat and was planning the information and plans in its hands. Lin was a little surprised that Jing Kuang could come up with so many ideas on its own, but this probably had something to do with its complete lack of trust in other Skeletal Dragons …
"King!" Suddenly, a Skeletal Dragon walked in from the entrance of the palace. It said in a panic, "The … The Prophet of the Sea Castle is dead!"
"What?" Jing Kuang suddenly looked very surprised. "How did it die?"
"That … The Prophet stabbed himself to death with a sword! King, could this be … "
"So that's how it is …" Jing Kuang made a thoughtful expression and said, "Then it seems that this Prophet is the same as the Prophets here. Their souls have returned to the land of their creators. This means that the time for us to set off has arrived!"
"Yes! King! " The soldier was obviously very excited after hearing this. In fact, in the whole city, except for the very old Skeletal Dragons, there was no one who did not want to go to the 'land of the Creator' …
"Their souls are protecting us. We have to depart as soon as possible! But before that, I need to mobilize a team … "Jing Kuang said and stopped. It put aside the slate in its hand and said to the soldier," You are … Bruton, right? The captain of the barracks in the South City? "
"Yes!" The Skeletal Dragon soldier said immediately.
"Very good. You will be the vanguard this time!"
It was stunned and said, "Huh? Vanguard? "
… After a few days …
"Listen up! We are the vanguard! " A Skeletal Dragon in shining armor stood on top of the castle with dozens of soldiers. They were now at the eastern edge of the top of the castle. Looking down from here, they could see a wasteland.
"Our mission is to test the method invented by King to land in the land of the Creator!"
"It is said that after landing, there is a huge rift valley. That is a test given to us by the Creator. We have to pass through that rift valley to reach the beautiful land full of forests."
"Therefore, King intends to use this method to bring us over!"
As the captain spoke, a few guards walked over with a rope. On the other end of the rope, there were two jellyfish about two and a half meters long tied to it.
The aerial jellyfish was pulled away by the soldiers, but it did not struggle. Instead, it floated slowly.
"Now! Start the test! "The captain shouted," Take this jellyfish to that place! " The captain pointed to the wasteland outside the castle. A red stone pillar stood on the ground a few kilometers away.
"If the jellyfish can bring us to that place, it means that we can fly over the rift valley!"
The captain's words made the soldiers look at each other. Many of them thought that this was a good method. Although giant aerial jellyfish were quite rare, there were many small ones. Some of them were young, and some were subspecies. But no matter what, they could all fly.
But no matter how good the method was, there would definitely be failures in the beginning. But who would be the first failure?
The captain pointed to a soldier in front of it and said, "You! Come forward! "
"Huh?" The soldier was stunned, but he walked forward helplessly …
Then, a few White Skeleton Dragons tied the ropes of the two empty jellyfish to its body and said to it, "Listen carefully. When you get close to the target, cut one of the ropes with your sword. After you let one of the jellyfish escape, the other one will slowly descend because it can't support your weight. In this way, you will be safe … Caw!"
Before he could finish, the two aerial jellyfish that were not moving suddenly pulled the soldier up into the sky!
"Huh!" The soldier shouted in panic. The Skeletal Dragons below also shouted at him, "Cut the ropes! Cut the ropes! "
"Cut?" The soldier immediately reacted. He pulled out his sword and cut the ropes on his body. But when he realized that he had already flown to a relatively high place …
In the end, he could only scream in the air. Fortunately, the jellyfish flew to the pool at the top of the castle and survived.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of problems with this method. However, if the direction is controlled properly …" Jing Kuang watched their test from the palace in the distance. Following which, he turned his head and shouted to a soldier behind him, "Prepare that 'thing'!"
