"charge."
"Chong... Ga?"
In the depths of the dark cave, a white fluffy floating sphere is slowly advancing with a skeletal dragon. The ground here is covered with fragments of eggshells, and the dry air is filled with a rotten smell. Lin feels that this place is still alive. I haven't explored it completely, so I brought Tucker here.
The light emitted by Lin's pompom is much brighter than that of the pterosaur, and the brightness can be adjusted, which is very convenient. At the same time, Lin is also teaching it various vocabulary. Lin does not need it to understand the meaning now, just Need to follow along, Lin wants to see how many sounds Tucker's vocal cords can make.
Lin found that Tucker could make more sounds than previously predicted, but their pronunciation was very troublesome. Brainworms have a separate vocal sac, and skeletal dragons have many restrictions because their vocal cords are in the throat.
If you find the limit, maybe you can try to modify it and make some minor adjustments to make a richer sound.
There is no need for modification yet.
"Cave!" Tucker knocked on the ground full of eggshell fragments, making a 'dongdong' sound, and then he immediately opened the eggshells, and found a lot of eggshells on the ground under the pile of eggshells. crack.
Tucker slammed on those cracks, and with a burst of noise, all the cracks burst together, and a cave appeared in front of Tucker's eyes.
"Quack!" Tucker excitedly yelled at Lin, and then entered the cave.
Tucker's mood in exploring the cave is much higher than Lin's. This has something to do with the white skeleton dragon. There may be a white skeleton dragon hiding here, and Tucker still wants to kill all the white skeleton dragons here.
Maybe its group had a war with the White Skeleton Dragon before? The skeletal dragons on land should be a kind of group that runs around. They live in one place for a while, and then go to the next place. This makes them easy to conflict with other creatures. This is how Aztecs and their heads Crowds of worms fought...
The cave ahead was dark and narrow, Lin didn't know how long it would take to walk. Lin now pays attention to the fungus island for the time being.
The war on the island of fungi can be said to be... quite peaceful. The phages are slowly covering the entire island, while the fungi are constantly digesting themselves. Recently, Lin discovered that they almost digested the entire island mushrooms, and now they are nothing but shriveled shells.
And they didn't fly away or escape from the sea, Lin guessed that those digested parts actually penetrated into the depths of the island. But they do it very secretly,
It's hard to find even a trace, but Lin has recently decided to dig up the island to have a look.
But nothing urgent is happening right now.
Now back here, Lin's pompom and Tucker have been walking underground for thousands of seconds. The cave here is very strange, and the walls and ground around it are relatively flat. It's as if a creature is specially dug out.
On both sides of the road, you can occasionally see some sharp stones, or some dinosaur bones, most of which are horns or claws.
When Tucker saw these things, there would be a feeling of anger, and it went faster and faster here, as the road became wider and wider. There are more things around.
Like various hunting wooden thorns, some scorched wood, some small bone fragments strung together, and the cave walls with traces.
Finally, Tucker arrives at a strange area where... the ground is littered with eggs.
It was exactly the same as the Baikelong eggs Lin had seen before, and these eggs were complete, Tucker saw these eggs. Immediately, he picked up one of them with his claws, and then smashed it hard on the ground.
The 'pop' egg was broken and it was empty inside.
This egg may have been placed for a long time, the flesh and blood inside has long since disappeared, and even the outer shell has become very fragile. The eggs Lin saw before were not so easy to break.
Then Tucker picked up the surrounding eggs one by one, and smashed them to the ground one by one. With a burst of cracking, a large number of eggs were smashed by it, but all the eggs were empty.
Lin knew that Tucker just wanted to kill them, and didn't want to keep any alive. And it smashed one by one very carefully, for fear of missing any eggs.
Lin ignored it and drifted into the depths of the cave.
Lin found that the entire cave was littered with eggs, possibly hundreds of them. Lin slowly floated over the eggs to observe them. Keeping the complete appearance, Lin also saw that an egg had been split in two, and there was still a small skeleton more than one meter away from the egg.
This cub seems to have died before climbing too far after birth. Most biological cubs are born with a full set of life skills, but the Skeletal Dragon is different. Without the protection of the elders, it will not survive for long...
But the question is, how long has it been dead?
The pompon floated onto the skeleton, stretched out a few swallowing tentacles, bit off some fragments of the skeleton, devoured them, and decomposed them. Judging from the state inside... this one seemed to have been dead for ninety days and nights.
Judging from the outside state, it seemed a bit short, and then Lin found some similar cub skeletons nearby. They basically died in the posture of crawling on the ground, and they all crawled in one direction...
Lin floated in the direction they were crawling, and saw more and more skeletons on the ground. It seemed that many eggs in this area had successfully hatched. So most of the eggs here were once 'alive'. Finally, Lin saw the young On the ground where the young bones gathered, there was also the skeleton of an adult skeletal dragon.
This skeletal dragon is lying on the ground, its forelimbs tightly hugging the skeleton of a cub...
It seems that something happened here, so that they all died here, and this skeletal dragon looks like Tucker, lying there waiting to die.
Things seem to be getting more complicated here...
Lin flew over these skeletons. In the second half of the cave, there were not so many eggs on the ground, and there were many broken ones, as well as some wooden thorns and sharp stones, and even some incomplete adult skeletons. It looked as if there had been a fight.
Lin flew to the end of the cave, where the cave wall was relatively flat, covered with a lot of sand and dust, Lin patted it lightly, and it rained down, and at the same time, a cave wall full of cracks appeared.
Maybe there's a passage behind here...
The pompom stretched out a relatively thick tentacle, and was about to smash it hard against the cave wall...
"Gah!" Suddenly, there was a scream from Tucker, interrupting the movement of the tentacles. (to be continued...)
