Was there a special thing in this world called an 'account book'?
No, there was no account book in this world, at least not for the White Skeleton Dragons. However, in order to record the incoming and outgoing of large amounts of storage items, the White Skeleton Dragons used a special item to record them.
This thing was a special kind of creature, known as a 'transmission worm'.
The transmission worm was a creature that could change color. It was five centimeters long and was a kind of bee. They liked to eat plant seeds, and every time they ate a seed, a brightly colored spot would appear on their abdomen.
Through this spot, they could tell their own kind what kind of food was around. Each seed was usually only shown with a single colored spot, and the size of the spot determined the number of seeds.
Usually, a transmission worm would only have a few small spots because they would not find much food nearby.
The White Skeleton Dragons seemed to have known about this kind of worm a long time ago and used them to record the harvest of nearby plants. They could also be used to record the amount of storage items and so on.
Now, the cub was showing them this kind of worm, and it was very special …
The transmission worm that the cub was holding had extremely large spots on its body. The spots almost covered its entire body and covered its original color. Moreover, it was not just one color, but a mixture of dozens of colors, which made its entire body colorful and rich …
This kind of phenomenon could not happen outside. In fact, even if the transmission worm saw enough food for hundreds of White Skeleton Dragons, it would only show a relatively large spot, and it would not cover its entire body.
Moreover, there were dozens of colors on it, which meant that an extremely large amount of food was gathered in one place. Only a huge storage room could have this kind of possibility …
Basically, every White Skeleton Dragon knew about this kind of worm. The underground storage room of the castle also used this kind of worm to record the amount of food around it.
The Jing Kuang once tried to get rid of these worms. In order to prevent them from sneaking out and being discovered by other dragons, and because they were too small, it was almost impossible to get rid of all of them. Therefore, there would always be some left.
This worm was discovered by the White Skeleton Dragon that fell in, and then it put it in the cub's hand.
Although the transmission worm had been outside for so long and had been frozen to death, its color was still very good, because this kind of worm changed color in a special way.
It also secreted a substance that seemed to make the standing scorpion worm feel nauseous.
"That's impossible … Is there really that much food?" The two Skeleton Dragons looked at the bug in their cub's hand in surprise. Because there was a huge difference between the color change and paint, it was impossible to 'fake' it.
"Is there really a lot of food hidden in the castle? Or did you find a place with a lot of food? "The two Skeleton Dragons were still in disbelief …
"This is from the castle! The food hidden by the king is in there! " The cries of the cub stunned the two Skeleton Dragons … They seemed to think that this was real too …
"I see," said one of the Skeleton Dragons. "If it's true, we'll help you …"
At the same time, the Jing Kuang did not know what was going on. It was preparing some troops to search for food in the sea. In fact, even the Jing Kuang thought that this was a very difficult task.
The Jing Kuang did not know if there were still so many fish in the water, and the situation was uncertain. Therefore, the Jing Kuang decided to send some special soldiers to the hunting team.
By 'special', it meant that they were 'especially useless'. This hunting team was made up of new recruits. Anyway, they could be blamed for any problems that happened.
The Jing Kuang soon set off. It gathered all the new recruits in the castle and asked them to bring some fishing tools to help the other dragons hunt.
Although the new recruits did not want to go, they could not complain in front of the Jing Kuang.
But the Jing Kuang still decided to spend a day and a half to make some special hunting tools. In fact, it was also looking forward to the success of this hunt. In this way, the key problem of food would be solved. The Jing Kuang also went to the library to do some research.
After a day and a half, the Jing Kuang led the well-equipped troops to the square. But at this moment …
"King!" A soldier suddenly rushed in from the small door next to the castle gate and said to the Jing Kuang, "There are many dragons gathered outside! They are all talking about the food storage! "
"Ga?" The Jing Kuang was shocked and said, "What's going on?"
"We want food!" "King, there must be an explanation!" "Ga! Don't hide the food! "
The Jing Kuang walked up the stairs to the top of the castle gate, where there was a 'balcony' overlooking the ground. There, it saw a large number of Skeleton Dragons gathered in front of the castle and shouting. They were all asking the Jing Kuang questions, which made the Jing Kuang panic a little.
"Don't shout!" The Jing Kuang shouted from the high platform, "There is indeed a storage room under the castle, but it is full of deadly … power! If you go in, you will die. And there is no food in there at all. What you saw in the cave last time was all there was! "
"We won't die!" Suddenly, a young dragon walked out from the group of Skeleton Dragons. It looked at the Jing Kuang and said, "Nothing happened in there, but you are afraid that we will tell others about the storage room, so you sent two dragons to kill us! There is food in there that can fill many dragons! "
"Yes." At this time, a Skeleton Dragon walked up and said, "I was there at that time. I saw it fall in."
"Ga …" At this time, the group of Skeleton Dragons began to clamor. In fact, most of the Skeleton Dragons trusted the Jing Kuang, but now they were also confused.
"That young dragon …?" The Jing Kuang looked at it and was stunned. It clearly remembered that it was eaten by worms, but the Jing Kuang quickly calmed down and continued, "You see, after falling in, it will go crazy. After the last incident, the young dragons didn't die much, right? But it is very common to go crazy! "
"Ga … You are right." "Oh, right, after that incident, many young dragons went crazy." The Skeleton Dragons remembered that when the brainwaves affected the island, the young dragons had a higher chance of survival than the adults, but this didn't mean that the brainwaves didn't affect them. Going crazy was very common.
"So it went crazy." "That must be it. Why would the king lie to us?"
"Ga …" The young dragon became a little nervous and scared after hearing the words of the surrounding Skeleton Dragons. But at this time, two Skeleton Dragons stood out from the group and said, "It is not crazy! It brought this out from the storage room! "
As they spoke, they took out a colorful insect. Although the insect was very small, the colorful luster of the insect in the hands of the White Skeleton Dragon was especially dazzling under the scorching sun after the snowstorm.
"This is a transmission insect!" "Ga! This is the first time I have seen a transmission insect with such a color! "" Is this real? "
"This can only be possible if there is a lot of food piled up in a very small place!" The Skeleton Dragon continued, "There must be a lot of food hidden underground, but the king refused to give it to us. Instead, he wants us to hunt in the cold and dangerous sea!"
When Jing Kuang saw the insect that reflected the sunlight, he quickly calmed down.
"Wait a minute!" Jing Kuang shouted, "No dragon has ever seen a transmission insect with such a color, right? Because that is not a transmission insect! It is just a very similar species! "
Jing Kuang had long known that these insects could escape, so he had a countermeasure.
As he spoke, Jing Kuang turned around and said a few words to a guard. The guard quickly ran away, and after a while, he came back with a jar.
"Look!" Jing Kuang grabbed a handful of insects from the jar. These were all colorful transmission insects. He sprinkled the insects down from the balcony and said, "These were caught on the top of the castle. There are no plants there!"
"These insects just look like transmission insects, but they are a completely different species. They must have been born with this color. When the crazy young dragon saw these insects, of course, he must have thought of a lot of food. All of this is just the delusion of the crazy young dragon!"
"Gah … Indeed, although they look very similar, I have never seen a transmission insect with such a color." "That's right … It could be a different species."
The group of Skeleton Dragons below looked at the transmission insects that Jing Kuang had thrown down and believed Jing Kuang's words once again. Jing Kuang's insects were actually caught from the underground storage room. Anyway, if there were any insects that escaped, he just had to say that he caught some of them from another place.
In this way, no dragon would suspect Jing Kuang.
But …
"Isn't this the Magnolia Mushroom?" Suddenly, the Skeleton Dragon that had spoken up for the young dragon said.
"Magnolia Mushroom?" The surrounding dragons looked over and saw that the transmission insect in his hand had a strange yellow mushroom growing on its head.
This mushroom was a type of parasitic fungus that would parasitize some insects, including transmission insects. It would absorb nutrients from the insects and grow a mushroom stalk on its head.
There was nothing strange about the mushroom, but the problem was …
"This mushroom only grows in dark environments," the Skeleton Dragon said. "But why did King say that it was caught on the top of the castle?"
Jing Kuang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Maybe it has been to dark places before."
"But as long as it is exposed to sunlight, the symptoms will disappear very quickly." The Skeleton Dragon turned the insect in his hand around and saw that there were many hairy mycelium all over its body.
"These threads prove that it has always been in a very dark environment, and it can only be infected by eating seeds!" the White Skeleton Dragon said. "King, where did you catch this?" It sounded like a heavenly mystery.
