Chapter 43 The Shadow of Childhood
That is a distant and ancient legend...
In fact, it is not a legend, it should be a real thing that can be almost completely confirmed.
This was when Tucker was still a cub, and he wandered around with the tribe, hunting, and he was still learning skills at a young age. Living in this era full of monsters, what he needed was extremely powerful abilities.
The skeletal dragons have a specific name for each skeletal dragon, just like the headworms have different names, but there are no names among different tribes, so Lin called their tribes 'Wanderers'.
This is also related to the tribal habits of the skeletal dragons. This is how their race lives, no fixed place, wandering around, chasing prey and living.
The skeletal dragon tribe usually consists of a leader and ten to fifty members. If there are too many members, they will separate and form a new tribe. The tribes seldom communicate with each other and hardly meet each other. , they will accept it into the clan.
Tucker's tribe is a tribe of about 30 skeletal dragons. The cubs will learn various knowledge from the elders of the tribe for about three years, and then they can basically hunt by themselves.
Compared with other dinosaurs, skeletal dragons are not very strong, and they can even be said to be thin, so they usually prefer to live in dry wastelands. There are more small and medium-sized dinosaurs in wastelands, but it cannot be said that wastelands are safer, because Lack of water, growth of trap plants, giant worms slithering through the ground, danger is everywhere.
This is especially true for a small Skeletal Dragon tribe.
Tucker, who is still a cub, is hunting with the tribe today. Usually the cub will follow the mother who gave birth to it, but the skeletal dragon is a little different. Their group will pile the eggs together, and then raise the cubs together, there is no specific The skeletal dragons look after them.
Under the shining of the sun, the group of 'wanderers' is besieging a round-topped dragon. They rarely attack such a huge prey, but their fate is good now. I met an older and lonely yam dragon. Tucker and other cubs were hiding behind a stone, watching the leader and the tribe attack together.
The other skeletal dragons of the group used wooden thorns to stab the belly of the dome dragon to surround the giant beast. Finally, the leader threw the wooden thorn forcefully, piercing the throat of the dome dragon, and the body weighing more than 30 tons collapsed. On the ground, including Tucker. All the clansmen cheered.
However, they didn't have much time to celebrate. The skeletal dragons immediately took out stones or wooden thorns to cut the meat of the round-topped dragon. They couldn't transport this huge creature, so they had to collect as much meat as possible.
But the screams of the dome dragon before death spread across the wasteland,
Within dozens of kilometers nearby, every creature with a slightly better hearing can know it. And those with a better sense of smell can even smell the blood that spewed out when the skeletal dragons cut the meat.
There are countless carnivorous creatures in this era, but the greatest danger still comes from the air.
A large number of small pterosaurs hovered over the corpse of the dome dragon, and suddenly, they all scattered, and at the same time, a huge creature came from the sky. Its wings blotted out the brilliance of the sun, and under its shadow all creatures fled in terror.
Tucker has understood this truth as long as he can remember: "When the sky is covered with shadows, you have to run away desperately."
But it didn't seem to remember much at this time. Tucker watched the flying dragon swoop down from the sky and landed on the corpse of the dome dragon. All the skeleton dragons were scared and ran away immediately.
Mutalisks are among the most powerful predators of this era. It has a huge body, wears solid armor, and breathes flames, but it is only looking for food, and will not chase these thin skeleton dragons and give up the corpse of the round dragon.
Tucker reacted quickly and began to escape with the group, but the dragon's reaction was unusual. It didn't stay there to eat the round-topped dragon, but spread its wings and flew to the sky again, chasing after the fleeing skeletal dragons, when it was close to the skeletal dragons. A burst of fire gushed out, and several skeleton dragons instantly turned into a scorched corpse in the flames, including the leader, who also died at this moment.
The target of the flying dragon was their group, and the remaining skeletal dragons fled in horror. The flying dragon landed on the ground, and several white skeletal dragons jumped off its back. They scattered to chase Tucker. Clans, pierce their hearts with wooden thorns, whether they are adults or cubs.
Although they were small in number, with the help of the flying dragon, Tucker's group was wiped out without even a chance to fight back.
And Tucker himself was saved because he hid in a group of giant tortoises and was not found...
After that, Tucker was the only one left in the desert. Because he followed the group of giant tortoises, he was not hunted by any carnivorous animals. Later, he joined a group of skeletal dragons in the desert and became one of them. Live the life before.
Tucker has always missed his former group, and the cubs are very dependent on the group when they are not fully mature.
However, this new group also perished because it was attacked by a flying dragon during a certain hunting. At this time, Tucker and some other skeletal dragons escaped successfully. At this time, it remembered that those who rode on the back of the flying dragon were like salt Generally pale skeletal dragon.
The white skeletal dragon is an object of extreme fear for Tucker and other desert skeletal dragon tribes. They often drive these wandering skeletal dragon tribes away on flying dragons and slaughter them.
Tucker basically grew up in an environment avoiding the shadows in the sky. By chance, Tucker saw the lair of the White Skeleton Dragon. They built their lairs with wood on taller stone pillars. Produced at this place.
Tucker was later separated from the pack during an attack, and it reached the jungle, where it joined a pack of skeletal dragons.
Since then, it has never seen the Flying Dragon and the White Skeleton Dragon, but Tucker still remembers them.
Lin's pompom retracted the flat tentacles that function as a display, and Tucker's history seems to have been confirmed.
In fact, Tucker doesn't understand many words. Some scenes were thought up by Lin, and then put on the display for Tucker to confirm.
Because Lin has already guessed almost the same before, so almost all of them are correct. In short, the white skeleton dragon was an "air group" riding a flying dragon before. Once they saw a "wandering skeleton dragon" like Tucker, they would kill them.
It doesn't seem to be for eating, but Tucker said that the white bone dragon will eat them.
These white skeleton dragons have great advantages, the most important thing is that they don't know why they have reached a symbiotic relationship with the flying dragon.
They used to seem to swim in the air, but now the white bone dragons are all dead underground, and even the flying dragons are extinct.
This obviously has something to do with fungi... (to be continued...)
