"Bring that bug here!"
Under Jing Kuang's command, a group of White Skeleton Dragons carried over an object called a "box" made of seaweed. From the outside, they could vaguely hear a buzzing sound coming from inside.
"Let's wait for them to go back …" Jing Kuang looked at the vipers that were chasing after the big ostrich in the distance. They looked in his direction. Because the Emerald Dragons knew that they would be attacked by the White Skeleton Dragons if they got too close, they did not continue to fly over. Instead, they went back to the city.
Seeing the vipers fly back to the city, Jing Kuang immediately said, "Now, let them out!"
Sure enough, Jing Kuang's purpose was not just to investigate, but to stick the stinky fish bomb on the vipers' heads.
The White Skeleton Dragons that carried the "box" all showed a disgusted expression, which was caused by the smell of the box …
The White Skeleton Dragons carried a total of 50 boxes and placed them at the edge of the forest. When they opened the boxes, a large number of black bugs flew out of the boxes like smoke and quickly filled the surrounding air.
After flying around in the air for a while, they began to fly in the direction of Scorpion City. They were moving in the same direction as the vipers.
This type of insect was a type of fly known as the 'Spiral Fly'. It originally lived by the seaside of the Skeletal Dragon Island. Their adult flies were very fast, and they would usually lay eggs on the carcasses of fish. A single Spiral Fly could lay 300 to 400 eggs, and the larvae would feed on the carcasses.
However, their larvae's feeding habits were not strictly limited. If there were no carcasses, they would eat all kinds of rotten things. If there were living creatures nearby. They could also burrow into the bodies of living creatures and devour their flesh and blood. They could even bite through the internal organs. It was a very dangerous creature, but because they preferred rotten things, they did not pose much of a threat to the White Skeleton Dragons.
The White Skeleton Dragons were familiar with this type of fly. It was usually used to punish the White Skeleton Dragons that had committed the most "heinous crimes." They would use the larvae of this type of fly to gnaw the body of the White Skeleton Dragons bit by bit. This was the most painful thing for the White Skeleton Dragons. Generally, only the White Skeleton Dragons that directly violated the rules of their creator would be punished this way.
As for Jing Kuang, he wanted to use these spiral flies as a weapon. In the beginning, it had brought a lot of them, and now, it had finally found a chance to use them!
The spiral fly's sense of smell was very good. It could smell fish carcasses several kilometers away, and it would fly to its target as fast as it could.
Since it was impossible for there to be any other fish carcasses on this plain, they would fly directly to the viper that was stuck with the stinky fish bomb.
The smelly fish bombs that the Jing Kuang troops carried were specially processed so that the smell would not leak out. Even if the flies could smell it, they would choose another smell that was more obvious.
A large number of spiral flies flew towards Standing Scorpion City in pursuit of the viper's scent. He flew to the place where the drakes gathered.
The viper dragons gathered under a pyramid in the Scorpion City, and Susumi made a large square here. Many Viper Dragons were gathered here, and many Emerald Dragons were also busy here. They were feeding the Viper Dragons or cleaning their bodies.
Since the Viper Dragons ate and excreted at the same place, it was common for all kinds of insects to gather here. The spiral flies had already scattered when they arrived, so no Emerald Dragon noticed that a large number of these strange flies had sneaked into the square.
The Viper Dragons that had been hit by the stinky fish bombs were now in a corner of the square. Their knights had already gone to prepare water for them to clean up, but the Viper Dragons were still shaking their heads in discomfort.
The smell of the Stinky Fish Bomb seemed to have a significant effect on the vipers. Jing Kuang had already discovered this long ago. The vipers were usually very receptive to the Emerald Dragon's orders. They reacted almost instantly according to the movements of the Emerald Dragon's fingertips. No matter what the situation was, they would not have any problems. They were not even afraid of fire. However, when they were infected by the Stinky Fish Bomb, they would become flustered.
It was the only weakness of the Viper Dragons. Lin had no idea why the Viper Dragons, who rarely came into contact with fish, would be so afraid of the smell.
The Viper Dragons were a huge threat to the Skeleton Dragons. It seemed like Jing Kuang had come up with a way to restrain the Viper Dragons. Normally, it was not practical to use stinky fish bombs on the battlefield, but when it came to these insects …
A large number of spiral flies flew to the Viper Dragons' bodies and quickly laid their eggs. The Viper Dragons did not seem to notice them at all. They usually did not pay attention to these little insects.
The spiral flies would soon die after laying a large number of eggs, while their larvae would hatch in just a few thousand seconds. Before that, the Emerald Dragons had already brought water to clean the Viper Dragons.
However, the eggs of the spiral flies were very sticky. Normally, they would not be able to wash off once they came into contact with the eggs. The Emerald Dragons did not pay too much attention to it. They stopped when they realized that the stinky smell was gone.
After the Emerald Dragons left, the tiny eggs on the Viper Dragons' scales slowly hatched. The tiny larvae crawled out and wriggled slowly.
However, they did not try to attack the Viper Dragons with their fangs when they were born. Instead, they fell from the Viper Dragons' scales and crawled into the rotten things on the ground …
The larvae seemed to prefer the rotten things on the ground to the Viper Dragons' scales, which were almost impossible to bite through. But it did not matter. Even so, they were still a threat to the Viper Dragons.
This was because the larvae themselves emitted a foul smell.
After the larvae ate, they would produce a foul smell similar to that of rotting fish. This behavior seemed to be used to summon more of their kind. The adult worms would only lay their eggs on the carcasses of fish and would not look for other food. When the larvae found other non-fish food, they would release this smell to attract the adult worms to lay their eggs.
It was a very strange behavior. The larvae were guiding the adult worms, but it was very effective …
At first, the smell was relatively small and did not affect the Viper Dragons much, but after a few days …
"What is this smell!?" "It's getting stronger!"
The Emerald Dragons working here all covered their nostrils. The smell spread throughout the city. The Viper Dragons' square was filled with the unpleasant smell. All the Viper Dragons in the square were constantly howling. Some of them even flew into the air uneasily. The Emerald Dragons hurriedly comforted them, but they could not find the source of the smell.
"It should be about time now."
Although the Jing Kuang did not do any investigation, they could still smell the fishy smell of the fish even from far away.
