This feeling of surprise …
It had been a long time since she felt this way.
Lin's floating ball was now flying over the Emerald Dragon City, but this place … could no longer be called a city, it couldn't even be considered a ruin. The entire land seemed to have been crushed, and even the ground level had become much lower. When flying over, all she could see were rocks, mud, and various fragments of things.
This phenomenon didn't only appear in the entire Emerald Dragon City, the surrounding jungle was also affected. A large number of plants fell into the crushed ground … This was like an earthquake, no, it was much more terrifying than an earthquake.
However, all of this was centered around one point, which was the location of the creator's tree trunk.
Now, this location was a huge pit hundreds of meters deep and wide. The pit was filled with all kinds of debris, and the original water had been completely drained away. Everything seemed to have disappeared.
Only a huge explosion could cause such an effect, and it happened underground. It caused the soil and rocks around the tree trunk to be pushed away by the strong impact, and at the same time, shattered the entire underground of the city, causing the earth to shatter. The Emerald Dragon City could now be said to have completely disappeared.
Fortunately, there were a lot of solid rocks under the Emerald Dragon City, so the explosion didn't affect too far away. However, it was still very powerful. This was the largest explosion Lin had ever seen. The ark was also blown to smithereens in an instant. Only a part of the cells survived, and their location seemed to be even deeper. Lin was now letting this group of cells begin to devour the surrounding debris to regenerate. When she saw the remains of the ark, she would be able to better evaluate the power of this explosion.
If a large number of explosives were gathered together and then created a huge bomb. Perhaps it could also achieve this kind of explosive effect. However, Lin wasn't likely to do that.
The floating ball floated into the huge pit of the explosion. It stretched out a tentacle from the surface of its body and picked up something that looked like a piece of wood from the ground. Although it was already dry, Lin could see traces of it being dissolved.
It was as if the tree trunk had melted its own skin, causing the explosion. Without the protection of the sturdy tree bark, the power of the explosion would be even greater. Lin could still feel some subtle and wondrous' touch 'in the crater caused by the explosion. But she couldn't describe what it was exactly.
Furthermore … Lin still didn't know the purpose of its creator's actions. Perhaps it had simply gone mad, or perhaps this was some sort of defense mechanism?
Perhaps when the creator's memory was invaded, it would trigger some kind of self-destruction to stop the invader. That was indeed possible, but what was the reason for those strange stones that emitted heat and the water that stirred up the entire trunk?
Was it purely due to the loss of his brain?
However, Lin felt that the 'creator's' actions were all part of its body's ecology, it was just that because its brain was missing, the timing of its actions was a bit off.
Under normal circumstances, what kind of situation would these behaviors be displayed under?
I have to think about these things slowly … But this time … It seemed like it was really over. The roots of the entire continent had stopped moving. They no longer grew uncontrollably. Instead, they quieted down.
It had finally stopped. This battle … should be over by now.
However, the destruction left behind by the creator was still there. Everything seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The entire land was torn apart, and countless creatures had gone extinct.
This continent seemed to have returned to the moment when creatures first crawled onto the land. Only a small number of creatures were still crawling in the ruins of this world.
Lin … still had a lot of things to do. Furthermore, the creator had left Lin with a lot of questions. She needed to do more research … However, because of the creator, Lin had a new goal.
To meet the Starry Sky Tumbler.
But first, let everything begin to be reborn at a faster speed.
…
In a faraway place, there was an island on the edge of the continent. Part of the island was called Vengeance Jungle, while the other part was a city made of white stones …
Now, at the border between the city and the jungle, a white figure stood there.
"… I'm back." The Jing Kuang stood on the wasteland at the edge of the jungle, quietly looking at its city. However, it didn't take another step forward. Its thoughts were filled with hesitation …
When it set off, it led a large number of white Skeleton Dragons, including handymen, soldiers, builders, researchers, and so on. There were almost 100,000 white Skeleton Dragons. It also brought a huge airship and set foot on the continent of the creator with an unparalleled momentum.
But now … everything seemed like a dream. The handymen were gone, the countless brave soldiers were gone, and the airship was gone. Even the shiny spoils of war were not brought back.
Although the Jing Kuang was still alive, it felt like a heart without a body. It was meaningless.
Countless white Skeleton Dragons in the city were waiting for Jing Kuang to bring back news of victory. But if it came back with news of a total annihilation, what would they do?
The Jing Kuang didn't dare to face its own race or the other white Skeleton Dragons. It didn't want to admit its failure. Even if the ordinary white Skeleton Dragons couldn't do anything to the Jing Kuang, there were still many 'nobles' in the castle who opposed the Jing Kuang. This huge failure would definitely affect the position of the Jing Kuang, and it might even lose its ability to be king.
But the Jing Kuang didn't want to go back and look for those soldiers. It didn't want to face those terrifying roots again …
What should it do? For the Jing Kuang, this was indeed a difficult problem.
"Caw …" Suddenly, a strange sound came from the city and interrupted the Jing Kuang's thoughts. There was more than one sound, and there were quite a lot of them. They came from the city in the distance, and it aroused the curiosity of the Jing Kuang.
"… Strange." Puzzled, the Jing Kuang slowly walked into the city. It came to a house on the edge of the city and looked in through the window. It saw a white Skeleton Dragon lying on the ground, and two young dragons were feeding it …
The white Skeleton Dragon didn't seem to have any injuries on its body, but it seemed unable to move. It could only lie on the ground and moan. It even needed its young dragons to take care of it.
The Jing Kuang looked at some of the houses nearby and found that many of the houses around it were the same. Most of the Emerald Dragons seemed to have contracted some kind of disease and were lying on the ground, unable to move …
"What the hell is going on? Is it some kind of plague? " The Jing Kuang thought that it might be some kind of epidemic. As it walked, it found itself near a cemetery on the edge of the city.
"How many more will there be …" It saw a group of white Skeleton Dragons dragging a corpse and burying it in the cemetery. The Jing Kuang was very curious, but it didn't want to show itself. Then, it thought of a way. It walked to the wasteland, found some hay, and tied it together to cover most of its face. Then, it walked to the cemetery and asked the white Skeleton Dragons who were burying the corpse, "What's going on here?"
"What do you mean what's going on?" The white Skeleton Dragon seemed to be very surprised when it heard the question. "Don't you know?"
"No, I came back from afar," the Jing Kuang said. "Just tell me what's going on."
The white Skeleton Dragon looked at the masked Jing Kuang for a while, but it still said, "Before this, something strange happened here. Many dragons began to have inexplicable headaches, and then this happened."
"Some dragons died because of it, and many seemed to have fallen into a state of paralysis. But some dragons are fine … But those paralyzed dragons can't eat, and we can't take care of so many dragons. They can only die slowly … Now, waiting for the king to come back is our only hope … Caw? Where did he run off to? "
Before it finished speaking, the figure of the Jing Kuang disappeared.
"Could it be that incident last time?"
The Jing Kuang was now running quickly to the castle, thinking about all kinds of strange things that happened last time in Standing Scorpion City.
"I see, that also affected this place … Maybe this is an opportunity."
…
At the same time, on the other side, there was an underground cave, and it was extremely humid. There were large puddles of water everywhere, and in these puddles of water, there were some creatures that could change into strange colors.
"What are these creatures called?"
Beside the puddles, a group of green dragons was pointing at the creatures in the water, and the creatures in the water began to change into various colors, as if they were responding.
"King." Mukla was still beside Susumi. There was a very strong vibration outside just now, as if something had happened … But the soldiers who went to investigate had not returned yet. “
"…" Susumi was silent for a while, then said to Mukla, "We can leave now, it's safe outside."
"King? How do you know this? "Mukla's reaction to Susumi was very strange …
"Because that's what they said." Susumi looked at the creatures in the puddles of water that could change color.
Mukla looked at the creatures in confusion and said, "They … can talk?"
"There are more strange things," Susumi said, "but for now, we have to get through this crisis first."
Not long after, the Emerald Dragons followed Susumi out of the underground cave and came to the surface outside.
And what unfolded before them … was something that they could not believe.
But … it didn't matter, as long as they survived. Rin found that Susumi seemed to be affected by the Brain-Creation Monster, causing her to have a special 'communication' ability, and she could even converse with the Ancient Abyssal Squid.
This allowed Susumi to reach a safer place, and she escaped the huge explosion.
But the creature with the highest survival rate in this disaster was … Sky Fairy.
