The forest at night felt especially quiet … Only the cries of the Nightwalker Pterosaur reverberated in the air … The noisy battles and earthquakes during the day had long stopped … It was as if everything had entered a deep slumber.
Only clouds of gray smoke slowly spread in the jungle with the breeze of the night … Spread …
The White Skeleton Dragons, Emerald Dragons, and Skeleton Dragons were at the edge of the jungle in the west, east, and south respectively. These dragons were all enjoying this moment of peace without war.
As the night slowly approached, except for a few dragons who were treating the wounded, assembling weapons, and keeping watch, almost all of them had entered a state of deep sleep.
Every dragon seized the opportunity to rest because they did not know what new battles they would face during the day. What they did not expect was that wars sometimes broke out during the night …
"Creak … Creak …" A White Skeleton Dragon who was assembling a ballista sat under a tree and was about to rest, but it saw that the branches above its head kept swaying and making creaking sounds. It was so noisy that it could not rest.
"What's with this tree?" The White Skeleton Dragon stood up and looked at the branches in confusion. The way the branches swayed seemed to be very strange. It did not seem to be caused by the wind, but … the tree was moving on its own.
"Moving on its own? How is that possible! "The White Skeleton Dragon went up and kicked the trunk hard." Be quiet! "
Although there were quite a lot of plants on this continent that could move on their own, trees usually could not move. Even the White Skeleton Dragon who had been on the island for a long time knew this.
"Gu … Ga …" The tree that was kicked suddenly showed a strange behavior. Its entire trunk was shaking non-stop, and a large amount of bark fell off from its body. There were two longer branches at the top. They were bent down like arms. And they were aimed at the White Skeleton Dragon in front of it.
"Creak!" The White Skeleton Dragon handyman screamed in fright when it saw this. It hurriedly ran away, shouting as it ran, "Caw! There's a monster! The tree is moving! "
Many White Skeleton Dragons who were sleeping around were awakened by it. They walked out of their tents one after another. A few soldiers shouted at the White Skeleton Dragon, "What are you shouting for? Is there an enemy attack? "
"No!" The White Skeleton Dragon ran to the soldiers and said, "The tree! The tree is moving! It's pointing at me! "
"Huh? How is that possible? "One of the soldiers clearly didn't believe it, while the other soldier said," Where did you see it? Take us there! This might be … the manifestation of the wood spirit! "
"Wood Spirit?" The surrounding White Skeleton Dragons immediately gathered around and said, "It's possible! Quick, take us there! "
"Ah … Wood Spirit?" The odd-job worker didn't seem so scared after hearing that. "It's right there, just now …"
With that said. It brought the skeletal dragons to the tree from before. The bark of the tree was almost completely peeled off, and it was still swaying. Furthermore, every branch was swaying in different directions. This was obviously not caused by the wind …
"It's the wood spirit!" "The wood spirit has appeared here!" "In other words, the wood spirit has acknowledged us!"
Previously, the White Skeleton Dragons had not dared to chop wood, mainly because they were afraid of the wrath of the Wood Spirit. They thought that if they were recognized, they would be able to chop some wood. That way, it would be much easier for them to make weapons. Of course, they didn't know how the wood spirit would acknowledge them. Usually, it was the Prophet who said so. But now that there were no more Prophets, they thought that the tree was the 'wood spirit' …
The White Skeleton Dragons here were very excited. One of them even ran to the bottom of the tree and said, "We've been recognized now! We've already … "
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the tree's branches bent downwards, like a slap, and sent the White Skeleton Dragon flying, crashing into another tree.
All the White Skeleton Dragons were stunned when they saw this. They didn't seem to understand what had happened. Why would the 'wood spirit' hit them?
"Squeak …" The tree was still shaking, as if it was pulling itself out of the ground to move.
"Coo …" Just as the White Skeleton Dragons were at a loss, another sound suddenly came from the forest, as if it was made by a huge creature.
"Ga! That … "As the voice approached, a figure that was more than three meters tall walked out of the forest. However, this was not a common dinosaur, but a tree that was crawling on the ground. It had no skin all over its body, and its roots seemed to have been broken. Only a small section was left, but it was still wriggling these roots and using the branches that bent down at an abnormal angle to support its body, it slowly moved forward.
"This … is the wood spirit?" The White Skeleton Dragons couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw this. These two were not the only trees that could move. More similar 'trees' walked out of the forest. Although they had no eyes, they all seemed to be staring at the White Skeleton Dragons.
Moreover, it wasn't just this side.
In the eastern forest, the Emerald Dragons had fought here when they attacked Standing Scorpion. There was a huge swamp in the forest here. Although monsters were everywhere, they wouldn't encounter any danger if they didn't get close.
But tonight was not like that …
"Ga wa!" A scream came from the edge of the forest. Many Emerald Dragons held torches in their hands and quickly ran to the place where the sound came from.
"What's going on … What is this?" Under the illumination of the fire, a huge 'flower' with a diameter of more than two meters stood tall. Its petals were covered with sharp barbs. It used these barbs to hook an Emerald Dragon in the center of the flower and was constantly sucking its flesh and blood.
"That's … the 'hook tooth flower' in the swamp!" One of the Emerald Dragons recognized the flower and said, "But this kind of flower shouldn't be so far away from the swamp!"
"Don't worry so much! Burn it quickly! "Under the command of the commander, the Emerald Dragons immediately picked up their torches and rushed to the flower.
At the same time, in the southern forest.
Tucker was not sleeping. Instead, he sat on a big rock and looked at the stars in the night sky.
Originally, Liddle and a few other Skeleton Dragons were here to accompany him, but they were all asleep now. Now, only a few dwarves were beside Tucker. They were patting the skulls in their hands.
"… It's almost time," Tucker looked at the starry sky and whispered to himself softly.
"Wow!" Suddenly, the dwarves climbed up the rock Tucker was sitting on and pulled his hand hard.
"What's going on?" As soon as Tucker said this, the rock under him shook. A few roots that were glowing with blue light extended from below. Floating astronomy.
