"Look, it's just like the king said. They're stuck in the swamp."
On the green grass, several green dragons wearing green cloaks were lying on their stomachs, looking at the silver ships in the distance with ebony eyes.
"Where did these things come from? They destroyed our harbor, "an emerald dragon said." That's a huge loss. "
Most of the houses in the harbor were 'empty' houses that had not been sold yet. Therefore, destroying them would be a huge loss to the emerald dragons.
Most of the people who stayed in the canyon were commoners because they did not have crystals to build houses. The commoners who went out to live were mostly hired by the nobles. They could only squeeze in some narrow and dirty places. Only after earning enough crystals could they buy their own houses.
Normally, houses could be built at will. However, not only did they have to buy the materials, they also had to pay the guards' protection crystals to prevent attacks from Mao Yu, dinosaurs, and thieves. The protection crystals were much more expensive than the materials.
Therefore, most of the houses were built by the nobles. They could hire some soldiers to build the houses for free and then sell them to the commoners. This formed a relationship of buying and selling houses.
"Anyway, it's none of our business. The nobles have to worry about it," another emerald dragon said. "We just need to watch them here."
The ships kept swaying on the spot, unable to move forward. Most of them were slanted and looked like they were trapped.
A group of silver-armored dragons were moving around on the ships. They looked very anxious. Some of them were tied to ropes and checking under the ships.
However, they did not seem to be able to get the ships out of the swamp.
The emerald dragons who were observing said, "What should we do now?" "Wait for the next order … Wait. Something strange is coming out. "
The emerald dragons saw some black creatures coming out of the ships. They crawled along the hull and under the ships. They did not need to pull the ropes and would not fall into the swamp.
These black creatures climbed down from the ships. They crawled across the swamp and gathered under one ship. They seemed to be trying to push the ship.
"What … are those creatures? Go back and report! "A few emerald dragons hurriedly ran away.
…
What are those creatures? If they were to be named, perhaps they should be named something like fish …
Lin was also observing the situation here. These black creatures were originally the Silver Scaled Dragon's creatures used to propel the ship. After a preliminary observation, Lin found that this creature looked like a fish.
They were about one meter long, and their skin was as smooth as a sea creature's. They had dorsal fins on their backs, and their half-meter long tails were flat, suitable for swimming. They had suction cups on their limbs, and they could stick to the hull to move. They had gills, but they could also breathe on land.
This creature is muscular. It could run very fast on land, but Lin thought that most of its structures were for living in water.
From the outside, it looked more like a finned salamander. However, its structure was similar to that of a fish, and it could stand up halfway. Now, they were using their wide feet to step on the swamp and using their forelimbs to push the boat.
Their intelligence was not high, and their brain capacity was only 0.7%. They could understand the silver armored dragon's orders.
These strange creatures should be called 'half-fish'. They should be a subsidiary species that the silver armored dragon brought from somewhere. The silver armored dragon had to keep shouting on the boat for them to move.
They were similar to the relationship between the electric gnomes and the emerald dragons. These half-fish were trying to push the boat out of the swamp. Although they could stand in the swamp with their webbed feet, it was impossible for them to push the boat. A few half-fish had already sunk into the swamp.
No matter how the silver armored dragon shouted, they could not push the boat out.
Lin felt that the silver armored dragon's shipbuilder did not consider the possibility of the boat encountering large potholes or swamps when making the boat. Did they not have such an environment where they lived? How could such a place exist in this world?
The place they lived in was strange, and Lin also felt that the silver armored dragon's language was strange. They seemed to be speaking a different language system. Although there were some words that the white dragon used, they were basically new, or they were using old words to create new words.
Why did they do this? Lin felt that this was meaningless, because old words could also express things and meanings now. Did the color of their scales change, and so did their personalities?
… This did not feel very possible …
Because of this, Lin wanted to ask them directly.
"Gaaaaah!" The silver armored dragons on the boat shouted. They realized that the half-fish could not move the boat, so they had to order them to return.
Dong!
Suddenly, a sound came from behind them. The silver armored dragons were shocked. They quickly turned around and saw a hard armored dragon standing behind them. However, this silver armored dragon was not wearing any armor. Its scales shone under the sun.
"Gaa?" The dragons were a little confused, because there was no dragon standing here just now.
"Can you understand?" The unarmored dragon spoke.
In fact, this dragon was a 'spy' that Lin had just created, and it was speaking the original white dragon language.
The Silverscale Wyverns were stunned. Lin could sense that they were extremely surprised. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, they suddenly roared and drew their weapons to slash at the spy!
The blades slashed the spy's body, and the spy fell to the ground with blood spurting out.
… This reaction seemed to be a little unexpected.
Lin did not strengthen the spy. Its structure was similar to that of a normal silver armored dragon. What was interesting was the reaction of this group of silver armored dragons. They seemed to have a strange emotion towards the dragon that spoke the original language, and subconsciously wanted to kill the target.
They did not feel anger or fear when they attacked, which meant that they were not afraid or angry. It was more like a … nervous reflex?
Was there such a strange nervous reflex?
Lin felt that perhaps she should take a look at their memories, but that might not be useful. Lin thought that it would be better to just watch them go back to their home.
"Gaa …" The silver armored dragons lifted the spy's body and threw it into the swamp from the boat.
They did not seem to feel much about the death of one of their own.
In fact, Lin almost thought that this group of dragons was a group of white skeletal dragons that did not live on the dinosaur continent, and not the descendants of the Jing Kuang …
However, Lin found something in the depths of their cabin …
This should be the place where the commander stayed, but now that there were no dragons around, Lin's eyeballs flew here. The whole room was filled with many stone and metal objects. Lin was surprised by this. Just like before, they were not made of wood. So far, Lin had seen only stone and metal.
The previous airships were considered to be made of wood, but the ships here were not made of wood at all. Lin felt that they must have received some kind of inspiration.
Their devices seemed to be relatively simple. Lin had investigated most of their devices before, and all the devices Lin saw so far were operated by wheels, and these wheels were operated by the half-fish or silver armored dragons themselves.
In other words, they relied purely on their physical strength to operate these things. It was a strange feeling.
But the most interesting thing was that in the center of the room, there was a statue.
The statue was two meters tall and made of a white stone. It was shaped like a white skeletal dragon, holding a weapon and wearing armor. Although the face could not be seen, there was a line of words at the base of the statue.
"The Eternal King, the Messenger of the Will of Creation — Jing Kuang."
It was written in the primitive language of the white skeletal dragons. It was obvious that this group of silver armored dragons worshipped the Jing Kuang. Even if they had encountered some kind of misfortune, they still seemed to believe in the things of the past … And the reason why they killed the spy could be found from this.
Next to the statue of Jing Kuang was a stone slab, on which there were some words written in the language of the White Skeleton Dragon.
The content was mainly about the greatness of the Jing Kuang, saying that it had great strength and wisdom, and the last line was written: "This is the language of creation. Those who are not qualified are not allowed to read it. You can only look at it, or you will be punished."
"It seems that they think that the original language is something very 'noble', and that only those who are qualified can read it? What is this qualified person? "
Lin wanted to see what the creature that taught them … was.
…
After this, several days and nights had passed.
The silver armored dragons were completely trapped in the swamp area and could no longer move forward. The giant ships that seemed to be able to crush everything were now useless. Although only a few ships in front were stuck in the swamp, the ones behind did not dare to move forward, so they seemed to want the ships behind to turn around and move in another direction.
There was a large swamp between the port and the Emerald Dragon Canyon. Although there was a road in the swamp, there was no way for such a large ship to pass through. However, this group of silver armored dragons obviously did not intend to give up. They turned the ships that were not stuck to the north …
The north used to be a desert, but now, because of the nutrients from the tsunami and the Mystifying Rain, this dry world had turned green, and all kinds of wonderful plants grew there.
Among them, the most abundant was a plant called 'Vine Fern.' These plants were native to the Northern Continent, and their seeds had even survived hundreds of years of ice in the desert.
The silver armored dragons had sent scouts to explore there and found that there was no swamp there, so they seemed to think that they could go around it.
After making the decision, the silver armored dragons left a part of the team to guard the ships that were stuck in the swamp, and the ships behind began to turn around and move in the direction of the desert …
But they did not know what they would encounter. Floating astronomy.
