"Caw —!!! Let us in! "
Under the dim sky, a large group of White Skeleton Dragons shouted at the entrance of the castle despite the heavy snow, but there was no response from the castle …
"It's not safe in the city, let us in …" "It's dying, please open the door …"
The group of White Skeleton Dragons braved the strong wind and snow. Some of them had frostbite on their bodies, and some were even carrying their babies. But no matter how much they shouted, there was no response from the castle gate.
"Caw …" A few dragons fell to the ground because they could not withstand the cold, and this phenomenon was increasing. The torches they brought were almost completely extinguished.
This made the White Skeleton Dragons shout even louder in the wind and snow. Even if their voices were hoarse, they did not stop …
"Caw! Come in! " Suddenly, there was a response to the White Skeleton Dragons' cries. A small door opened on the wall next to the castle gate, and a few guards waved at the White Skeleton Dragons outside.
"Caw!" The White Skeleton Dragons outside immediately rushed to the small door excitedly. They desperately tried to squeeze in, and many of their kind were pushed aside by them. Some of the White Skeleton Dragons that were pushed rolled down the hill, but no one paid them any attention. Under the frenzied crowd, most of the White Skeleton Dragons entered the castle.
There was a spacious square behind the entrance of the castle that could accommodate the group of White Skeleton Dragons.
In fact, not all the White Skeleton Dragons in the city had come. There were only a few hundred White Skeleton Dragons in the city. There were even more White Skeleton Dragons still in the city. Most of them lived far away and could not gather at the castle.
"It's so warm inside …" "We can finally come in." The White Skeleton Dragons patted the snow off their bodies. They were much more relaxed. But some of the White Skeleton Dragons went to the guards and asked, "Why did you open the door so late? Many dragons have frozen to death! "
"Caw! That's right. If you let us in earlier, this wouldn't have happened! "" Yes! Why did you do this? "
"No, it's your own fault." Suddenly, a voice rang out. Jing Kuang appeared at the end of the square with a group of guards.
"That's … the King?" The White Skeleton Dragons looked over.
"You shouldn't have gathered here from the beginning," Jing Kuang said. Jing Kuang said, "The castle is a sacred place. Only the dragons who have been recognized by the King can enter. Do you think you will be recognized?"
"The storm outside is too loud, so it's hard for people inside to hear what's going on outside. When the guards inside heard your cries for help, they immediately tried to let you in, but you pushed and shoved, killing many of your companions! Now you're saying that it's because we didn't let you in! "
After Jing Kuang finished speaking, the entire square suddenly fell silent. Many of the White Skeleton Dragons that had been squeezing crazily earlier could not help but look regretful. Then, Jing Kuang continued, "I'll allow you to stay here, but you'll have to leave immediately after the wind and snow stops. You are not allowed to move around, you are only allowed to stay where you are … "
Boom! Before Jing Kuang could finish his words, a loud boom rang out. The ground of the castle suddenly shook violently!
"Caw! What is this? "" Is it an earthquake? "" Did the storm affect the castle? " The White Skeleton Dragon in the city suddenly panicked. The Jing Kuang was also shocked. It immediately shouted, "Guards, go and see what this is …"
Boom! The sound rang out again before Jing Kuang could finish his words. A large hole appeared in the ground of the square, and a worm covered in purple armor crawled out from the ground!
Lin called this type of worm the Erect Scorpion Worm. Previously, many Erect Scorpions had started to form cocoons before the brainwave spread out. Most of the Erect Scorpions that did this would remain in their original form after the brainwave spread out. They did not turn into anything, but some of the Erect Scorpions turned into strange behemoths. These were the Erect Scorpions.
They were very small at first, no bigger than the Erect Scorpions. However, these worms would quickly devour the surrounding resources to grow, including animals and plants. Even the Vengeful Vines on the White Skeleton Dragon Island could grow into behemoths that were more than 20 meters long or even larger in a short period of time. Some of the worms left with the Erect Scorpions, but some stayed on the island. Lin did not know why, but they were clearly a threat to the White Skeleton Dragon, because it preferred eating meat over plants.
"Don't panic! Kill it! " While the Skeletal Dragons in the square were fleeing in all directions in panic, Jing Kuang was also yelling and retreating. The surrounding soldiers immediately raised their crossbows and began shooting. The arrows hit the exoskeleton of the worms and made crackling sounds. Most of the arrows were bounced off.
However, a few arrows pierced through the cracks in the worm's shell. Feeling the pain, the worm immediately screamed and burrowed back into the ground.
"Did it escape?" Just as the White Skeleton Dragons were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a loud noise came from the ground. The giant worm under the feet of the group of soldiers who shot the arrows earlier rushed out again, knocking many of the soldiers away. The White Skeleton Dragons began to panic again, but more soldiers surrounded the worm under Jing Kuang's command...
"Shoot!" Under another volley of arrows, more arrows successfully pierced through the gaps in the worm's shell. The worm screamed in pain and spat out a large amount of gray liquid from its mouth. Some of the Skeletal Dragons that were sprayed by the liquid immediately let out shrill cries of agony.
Some of the White Skeleton Dragons who got too close had their heads bitten off by the worm.
"Shoot! Shoot! " Jing Kuang's orders did not stop. Under the countless arrows, the worm was suffering more and more damage. Some of the White Skeleton Dragons even pushed in larger crossbows.
It seemed that the worm knew how to observe the situation around it. When it realized that the situation was not good, it immediately burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
"Caw! It ran so fast! "" Everyone, pay attention! " The White Skeleton Dragons were now in a state of extreme nervousness, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a voice.
"Caw! There's a lot of food here! "
Although the voice had nothing to do with the worm, it attracted the attention of all the White Skeleton Dragons, especially Jing Kuang. He realized that the voice was coming from the hole that the worm had first burrowed out from...
The White Skeleton Dragons immediately gathered at the side of the hole and looked down. Due to the dim lighting, they could not see clearly, but they could still see a large number of piles of seeds and broken jars scattered on the ground. There was also a baby crying down there.
