Whoosh!
In the dark underground space, there was the sound of a sharp object piercing through the air.
"Gah!" With a scream, an arrow pierced through the chest of a Skeleton Dragon and it fell to the ground. Its blood flowed slowly on the ground that was covered with seeds …
"There are three more, right? They're quite good at hiding. " Beside the corpse of the White Skeleton Dragon, two White Skeleton Dragons with crossbows in their hands and covered in all kinds of black leather approached.
"No, there are four more. One of them is a cub," said the Skeleton Dragon with the crossbow. "We have to kill them all."
"But I didn't expect the king to store so much food here," said the other Skeleton Dragon. Another White Skeleton Dragon said, "If word of this gets out, those starving dragons outside will definitely swarm in like crazy."
"Why do they think we have to distribute food to them?" The two Skeleton Dragons moved the corpse to a more spacious corner and said, "Don't worry so much. Our mission is to get rid of these stupid things."
"Where are the remaining four?" After arranging the corpse, one of the Skeleton Dragons reloaded the arrow with the venom of the Vine of Vengeance and said, "This place is very big. There are too many places to hide."
"Yes." The other Skeleton Dragon reloaded the arrow and said, "But the hole where they fell has been sealed. The exit is also completely locked. Now, the whole place is in darkness. If they want to get out, they can only take that one path."
"It's there!" As it spoke, it suddenly raised its arrow and aimed in a direction. Then, a 'whoosh!' sound was heard. There was a sudden scream in the darkness …
"Only three left."
This was the underground storage room of the Skeleton Dragon Castle. The square above was still in a relatively calm state. The Skeleton Dragons were still trapped in the city because of the blizzard. They thought that the underground storage room was full of the deadly brainwaves they had encountered before. Although some of the Skeleton Dragons were skeptical, they did not do anything or question the Jing Kuang.
What they did not know was that … in the underground storage room, there was a battle that concerned all the dragons outside the city …
"Walk slowly … be careful." In the darkness, three Skeleton Dragons were moving slowly between the jars of food.
"A few dragons have already been killed. I hope we're not the last ones left." A White Skeleton Dragon walking at the back said, "I didn't expect our lord to do such a thing."
"I think we're the last. I counted the screams just now. "The White Skeleton Dragon at the front said," They might be looking for us now … "
The two dragons that came here to kill the Skeletal Dragons could be called Jing Kuang's "special forces." In fact, the Mountain King and the Sea King of the Skeletal Dragons originally had such forces, which were formed by a special group of Skeletal Dragons.
Lin was quite interested in this because these Skeletal Dragons might be the offspring of a Prophet and an ordinary Skeletal Dragon. Although they did not have the ability of a Prophet, they still had some special abilities.
"Why are you doing this …" There was a baby between the two Skeleton Dragons. It said, "I just fell in by accident …"
"Don't talk!" Suddenly, the first White Skeleton Dragon stopped, and so did the other two.
"They're actually there …" The first White Skeleton Dragon looked ahead and saw a big hole in the wall of the room in front of it. But there were two dragons wearing black leather and holding crossbows standing in the hole. "We can't go over like this …"
"Where?" The last White Skeleton Dragon was confused. "I don't see anything. It's too dark here. "
"Well, can't we go somewhere else?" The baby between them whispered.
"All the doors here are sealed. We can only go out through the tunnel that the worms came in. But they're guarding this place, so we can't escape —"
Whoosh! Before it could finish its sentence, an arrow pierced into the ground beside its feet.
"Caw!" The White Skeleton Dragon at the back was shocked when it heard the sound of the arrow. It stood up and turned to run, but another arrow flew quickly and pierced its head.
"There are only two left now." The two White Skeleton Dragons standing at the entrance of the hole quickly changed to arrows and looked at a pile of cans in the corner of the room. "Caw … They're there."
These two White Skeleton Dragons were called "Assassins." Every "Assassin" had better senses than the average White Skeleton Dragon. Some of them had better hearing, and some had special eyesight. Even in this completely dark underground space, they could perfectly pinpoint the location of their prey.
After knowing that some dragons had strong sensing abilities, the White Skeleton Dragon King of a certain generation had specially gathered this group of dragons and formed them into a team called 'Assassins' to work for him. Over the generations, the number of Assassins had dwindled. This was because if they bred with ordinary dragons, this special ability would also weaken. By the time of Jing Kuang's generation, coupled with the various disasters that had happened before, there were only a few Assassins left. However, they still carried out their duties.
Whoosh! An arrow hit the can of food, but it was not powerful enough to penetrate the can. The last two White Skeleton Dragons were still hiding inside, motionless.
"Outside, what's going on outside … I can't see anything. Are we going to die like this?" Although this cub was close to adulthood, it was still more prone to panic and fear than the adult White Skeleton Dragons …
"Don't be afraid." The first White Skeleton Dragon was much calmer. "I'll protect you and take all the food out of here!"
"Caw …" The cub was stunned. "Can you see?"
"Yes, because I used to be one of them."
Whoosh! Just then, another arrow hit the can. The hidden White Skeleton Dragon poked its head out slightly. It looked at the two Assassins at the entrance of the hole not far away and whispered, "Don't dare to come over? What a cowardly tactic, caw … "
That was because the two assassins only had a keen sense of hearing. They were not like the Skeletal Dragon that was hiding. Its eyes emitted a faint glow, which allowed it to see clearly in this environment.
As it spoke, the White Skeleton Dragon took out something and put it in the cub's hand. "Hold on to this. You must keep holding on to it! Don't throw it away until we get out! "
"Caw, got it."
"Now, get ready!" As it spoke, the White Skeleton Dragon picked up a handful of seeds and threw them to the ground in the distance …
"Caw?" The two Hitmen immediately looked in the direction where the seeds were scattered. They raised the crossbows in their hands and fired at the same time. When the two bolts hit the ground full of seeds, the hiding Skeleton Dragon immediately picked up the baby and sprinted towards the entrance of the cave at full speed!
Whoosh! However, before it could run two steps, an arrow pierced its chest.
"Caw … Why …" It fell to the ground, the cub in its arms falling to the ground.
"Do you think we're as stupid as you? You think you can fool us with just a handful of seeds? " The two Hitmen were now holding another crossbow in their hands. One of them said, "We purposely shot at the spot where you threw the seeds. We wanted you to think that we had shot the arrow. Then, when you ran out, we shot at you with the second crossbow."
The other Assassin said, "Ever since you left, the Assassins are now equipped with more than three crossbows. Caw! You didn't expect that, did you? "
The White Skeleton Dragon that was shot fell to the ground. Its cub cried out beside it, "What's wrong with you? Why are you cawing? "
"It's already dead. Now it's your turn … Wait, what's that sound?"
Boom! Suddenly, a series of explosions came from the floor of the storage room. The floor of the storage room exploded, and a huge worm rushed out!
"Caw?" The two assassins were shocked. The group of skeletal dragons had always ignored the fact that they had never killed the standing scorpion worm. It had only been chased away, but that did not mean that it would not come back.
"Caw!!!" At that moment, the White Skeleton Dragon with its chest pierced suddenly stood up. It used the last of its strength to pick up its cub and throw it at the entrance of the hole in the wall with all its might!
"Run! Don't come back! "It used the last of its strength to shout.
"Caw … Caw!" The cub ran frantically in the hole. Although it could not see, it was running in the right direction.
"Don't even think about running away!" One of the Assassins raised his crossbow and aimed at the hole, but the next moment, the worm's mouth was aimed at its head. It could only roll on the ground to avoid the attack. The worm's head hit the ground, and the other Assassin tried to crawl into the hole, but the worm's impact caused the cave to collapse, and a large amount of mud and stones buried the entrance.
The cub was getting deeper and deeper into the hole, and it was considered safe.
"That's … good." Seeing that its cub had run away, the White Skeleton Dragon that had been pierced fell to the ground as if it had run out of energy. Although it was on the verge of death, its mind was very calm.
"Tell … all the dragons … our king … is not what they think …"
…
"Caw … Caw …" In the twisting tunnel that the worm had dug, the cub was trying its best to run forward. Even if it bumped into the wall a few times, it would immediately feel the wall and continue to move forward.
Although it was still young, it seemed to understand its' mission '.
And it was about to succeed! After running for a while, light began to appear in front of its eyes, and it could slowly see its surroundings clearly.
"Caw … I'm almost there, outside!" The cub was getting more and more excited, but its vision was suddenly blocked by a figure.
"Those Assassins are really useless." Jing Kuang was standing at the entrance of the hole, looking at the cub in front of him. "They actually let the little one escape?"
