Chapter 44 Leaving the Abyss

I'm going out now.

Lin and Tucker are on a salt lake, above the lake, the brilliant sunlight is falling, illuminating the darkness here...

Lin has created some floating balls and tied them to Tucker, which is not enough to make it float, but it can greatly reduce the weight of Tucker's body, allowing him to easily climb up the cave wall.

But before that, Lin will use the displayer to show Tucker the final outcome of the White Skeleton Dragon.

When Tucker first saw the displayer, he would treat it as a real scene. Although it is much better now, when it shows the white skeleton dragon, it will still show anger.

The connection between the white skeletal dragon and the fungus, Lin relied on imagination and speculation, they did not leave any paintings or statues to tell this history, everything seemed to happen quite quickly...

Lin felt that this period of history had to be connected from the time they landed on this continent.

Tucker's history is relatively simple, they just have been wandering in the wilderness, and the Baishoulong may have had a longer history, they should have flown over the rift valley of this dinosaur continent, and reached the other side of the rift valley, which is the land of this continent. At the outermost edge, a wasteland, a world destroyed by fungi.

In the outer area, there is a small skeletal dragon that uses bones to build a nest to resist fungi. It was originally considered to be a relatively small skeletal dragon. They are only about one meter long, while the long-seen skeletal dragon is two meters long. Now Lin Thought it might be an abandoned cub or not.

In the beginning, the skeletal dragon should have come out of the inner continent and lived through the rift valley. After being attacked by fungi outside, some adult white skeletal dragons crossed the huge rift valley and returned to the inner mainland. They may have reached a symbiosis with the flying dragon at this time. Relationship.

The relationship they reached may not be like the usual symbiosis, but it is likely that they picked up the baby dragon and raised it, just like the headworm is now.

The white skeleton dragon with the flying dragon is obviously the most powerful hunter in this area. They are invincible in this world, which makes the white skeleton dragon group develop rapidly. They are relatively aggressive creatures, and they are very hostile to Tucker's skeletal dragon. This is a relatively common phenomenon among creatures. Perhaps the two have had a competitive relationship a long time ago.

The fighting levels of the white skeletal dragon and the skeletal dragon should be similar, but the turning point is that a certain white skeletal dragon raised the cubs of the flying dragon. After that, everything is different. Tucker's skeletal dragon group can only be slaughtered. And when the Baishoulong became a top hunter on the mainland, they discovered some problems...

Fungi are still following them.

initial,

The white skeletal dragons discovered that some of their companions were infected with fungi, and they immediately killed them and buried them under the ground of the salt wasteland.

The white skeletal dragons discovered that salt can also prevent the spread of fungi.

But then more and more people were infected. Later, the infected people went to the caves of the salt rock, and the caves here were filled with salt, so that the fungus would not spread...

And the Baike Longmen underground also began its final life, where the fungus still broke out. They killed a large number of white bone dragons, and only a part escaped.

But the part that escaped was also infected and was devoured by the meat-cutter ants so as not to spread the fungal infection.

Regarding this point, maybe they were swallowed by the meat-cutter ants voluntarily, because the battle along the way shows that the White Skeleton Dragon is a race that is quite good at using sacrifice tactics...

In the end, only a handful of them remained. That is, the ones Tucker and Lynn saw.

Of course, there are many problems, such as why there are so many eggs there, why the fungus is petrified, why is such a big flying dragon here...

But what can be confirmed is that this group of white skeleton dragons did migrate underground for some reason, and there was a huge amount of fungi in this underground, but they were unable to climb to the ground in the end.

This fungus is somewhat different from the plague fungus. But it should be a very similar species, or a variant of the plague fungus. It can be confirmed that the meat-cutter ants will not be infected, and their ability to spread is also very limited.

The White Skull Dragon is not extinct. There should be some living in other places. If you encounter them, you may be able to solve some of the mysteries behind, but they must understand the situation here, and... Tucker doesn't kill them.

Now, Lin thought it was time to leave here, and the pompom slowly retracted its tentacles. After Tucker watched it, it was quite happy for the large number of deaths of the white skeleton dragon, but it didn't seem to understand things like fungi.

These things have to be taught slowly, yes... quite a lot to teach them.

Tucker climbed up the wall of the cave, and he was quite amazed at the floating balls stuck to himself, but because there seemed to be too many surprises, now he no longer dances every time he sees a surprise up.

Lin's pompom also slowly floated up from the cave. The height of hundreds of meters is not far away. Soon, Tucker and Lin returned to the sun again.

"Oh!" Tucker shouted excitedly to the sky when he climbed out of the cave. His shout was mixed with a lot of happy emotions, mainly because he learned of the demise of the White Skeleton Dragon. The point of 'hatred', but Lin felt a little pity, the demise of the white skeleton dragon also buried their history.

However, Lin can let Tucker and his group create a new history.

Now, the scorching rays of light shone on the deserted land. Looking around, there were endless white salt fields, and the dry smoke and dust flew around with the hot wind. This place leaked the breath of death all the time.

No wonder the White Skeleton Dragon chose this place, even the plague fungus couldn't spread from here.

Tucker looked around, then lay down on the ground and smelled it. Lin saw it hesitated, and Tucker seemed to be lost.

That being the case, let's go in the direction of that group. They seem to be tens of kilometers away from here now. The parasite that Lin put down at that time is still on the cub, and it can be accurately located.

"Gah!" Suddenly, Tucker yelled and rushed in one direction, as if he had discovered something.

Lin also drifted past, and at this time Lin also found that in the hot salty wind, there were some rotten corpse smells.

The corpse can also replenish nutrients. Although it is said that the water has been replenished just now, Lin and Tucker have not had food for a long time.

After advancing for more than ten seconds, Lin saw a red object appearing in the flying white salt dust, which looked like... a plant.

By the way, it looks like six open white leaves, the color is almost exactly the same as that of the salt field, each one is more than two meters long and half a meter wide, and the whole plant is exuding a very strong rotten smell.

Tucker didn't seem to see the camouflage of the plant. It ran towards the place where the smell was. The moment it reached the center of the six leaves, all the leaves closed immediately, completely shutting Tucker in. .

But after a few seconds, a crack appeared in one of the leaves. Tucker cut the leaf with a sharp stone and got out from inside.

Sure enough, it was a trap plant. This kind of plant should be completely dependent on pterosaurs and other creatures that searched for carrion in the wasteland. Lin found that it didn't even have a root system. It was really not easy to evolve so purely.

Tucker, who didn't find any food, seemed rather disappointed, but it seemed to have discovered something new and walked in the same direction...

That being the case, follow it. I used to follow it when I used pterosaurs. Lin seldom led Tucker and them.

Lin followed Tucker and moved slowly on the desert. The scorching sun in the sky began to dim. When everything became dark, the light of a starry sky replaced the light of day. The hot environment became cooler and even colder. many.

Tucker didn't like to move very much at this time. He lowered his body and started digging on the ground, as if he wanted to dig a hole to live in.

Now seems like a good time to teach it.

But what to teach it? language? Build all kinds of nests? Or... fire?

Judging from the way of life of the skeletal dragons, Lin thinks that if they want to make rapid progress, they may need some special development methods. The most important thing is to teach them how to gather larger groups, plant and other things to achieve a long-term way of life.

At present, Lin only teaches Tucker some common knowledge such as language, and other things have to wait until he meets its ethnic group to teach together.

This dark night passed slowly under Lin's guidance, and Tucker postponed the time of deep sleep a lot. When he came out of the nest made of salt sand, half of the day had passed.

Then Lin began to lead the way to find the group of skeleton dragons.

Across the entire salt field, Lin and Tucker didn't encounter any more situations. There were almost no creatures here, and only occasionally saw the trap plants before. Lin called it 'salt cage', and sometimes saw pterosaurs flying To these salt cages, and then trapped inside with absolutely no escape.

After walking tens of kilometers of salt land, the surrounding environment slowly changed. Occasionally, huge plants appeared on the ground. These plants are covered with highly poisonous spikes, which are relatively rare here and do not prey on animals. photosynthetic plants.

At the same time, Lin also saw the group of Skeletal Dragons. They were not doing well. There were thirty members before, but now there are only a dozen or so left, and they all look weak. Even So is the leader.

The cub was about half missing, but the one Lynn located was still alive.

It seems that they encountered a lot of things along the way. Compared with hunger or lack of water, they looked more like they were attacked by something.

"Gah!" Tucker yelled and rushed over as soon as he saw them, the skeletal dragons over there were startled, and the leader reflexively threw a wooden thorn at it...

But this time Tucker didn't get hit again, the wooden thorn flew past it and stuck on... Lin's pompom. (to be continued...)
