Chapter 85 Eggs and Fruits
The oval object Tucker is holding is an egg.
"The giver is leaving, beautiful thing, give, giver."
'The Giver' is what Skeletal Dragon calls Lin's pompom, which comes from the language vocabulary of the head worm. The head worm uses this name to describe some things, such as good things like rain in the sky to make the plants grow faster, and Skeletal After Long knew the meaning, he called Lin's pompom that way.
The pompom stretched out a tentacle, rolled up the egg and put it in front of it. The egg shone with silver-blue light, which was very gorgeous under the sun.
But this is not the egg of the skeletal dragon. Their eggs are white with rib-shaped patterns on them. This egg... where did they get it from? Lin hasn't seen it yet.
Occasionally, the skeletal dragon likes to pick up some shiny things and pile them together, usually some stones or something. It is the first time to find eggs. They have always liked this kind of objects and regard them as precious things, so Tucker Will give it to the pompom.
Lin felt that these things were useless. Of course, this egg was still useful. It could be eaten or smashed, or used to train the creatures that were about to hatch inside.
Of course, in advance, there must be creatures in it...
Lin's pompom stretched out a tentacle with a mouth and swallowed the egg for monitoring. Lin now uses a micro-unit infiltration method to observe the situation in the egg without causing damage.
After carefully inspecting the inside of the egg, Lin found that it was actually... a cub of a skeleton dragon? And it has matured, and it looks like it is about to hatch.
wrong. This is not Tucker's skeleton dragon, but the white skeleton dragon.
Sure enough, there are other Baikelong tribes nearby. The color of their eggs is so strange.
"Where are you looking?" Lin immediately questioned Tucker.
"Southeast, east." Tucker immediately raised his forelegs and pointed to the woods. Recently, they often like to run into the woods. Since this is the case, Lynn will take that as the starting point.
The pompom spit out the egg, and told Tucker back to it: "Keep it." Then the pompom flew high and flew towards the jungle.
Skeletal dragons usually do not have a specific breeding season, and they will start breeding when food is abundant around them. When the eggs are born, they will be piled together and taken care of uniformly, so they are unlikely to be picked up. Could it be that the habits of the white skeleton dragon are different?
The pom-poms move swiftly through the jungle,
There is no long dragon perch in this place, but it is replaced by another kind of shorter tree. The ground is full of dense dead leaves and many balls.
The pom-poms floated down slowly. Grabbed a ball with its tentacles and ate it.
This ball is also called 'fruit', and it is a newly evolved form of plants here. In order to spread farther, they specially wrap their seeds with a layer of 'meat' to attract others. creatures eat it, carrying the seeds farther afield.
Interestingly. Even plants that are otherwise highly poisonous produce very tasty fruit, often attracting creatures with a taste known as 'sweet'.
The fruits of some plants are also poisonous, probably related to the fact that some arthropods will drill in to 'eat' their fruits for nothing. After all, these small insects will not transport their seeds, and sometimes they will even eat the seeds in the core. This is very bad for plants.
Poisonous fruits are resistant to predators, but often require specific poison-resistant organisms for transport. Diffusion reproduction is more troublesome.
The evolution of plants here is really getting more and more interesting.
The pom-poms were flying, and Lynn saw something that looked like...a shed?
By the way, this looks like the shed that Tucker and the others built before. Now they don't build these things very much. Lin looked closer to the shed and found that it was empty.
"Woooooooooooh!" Suddenly there was a roar from the surrounding forest, and dozens of white figures rushed out of the forest, surrounding Lin's pompoms.
These are... White Skeleton Dragons.
They rushed up like crazy, and Lin's pompon immediately accelerated and flew into the air to avoid the attack. When Lin just looked down, a large number of wooden thorns were thrown up, and these wooden thorns stuck into the pompom In the hair, but not in the flesh, Lin shook it a little and it was all gone.
They seemed to want to kill the pompom very much, a group of white skeleton dragons roared below, and at this moment the pompom transformed and disappeared from the air.
The white skeleton dragons were obviously stunned. They stayed below and watched for a long time, and they all left very disappointed after a few hundred seconds.
They may be creatures that want to catch and take their eggs. Relying on the ability to change color, the pompon followed the group of white skeleton dragons. They circled around in the jungle, and finally reached a relatively open place. Lin found that there were Dozens of shacks, this group of white skeleton dragons obviously lived here.
Lin walked around among their huts and found that their lifestyle was similar to that of the skeletal dragon, but there were no cubs here, and Lin saw some of their members walking away with the silver-blue eggs Enter the jungle, and then take it to a far away place...then put it in the wild and bury it. After that, these white-skeletal dragons no longer cared about the egg and walked back to the group.
Are they going to hatch their eggs in the wild? Does the White Skeleton Dragon still have such peculiar habits?
Then Lin has been observing this group of white skeleton dragons for the next few days and nights. There are more than 30 white skeleton dragons in this group. The cubs were released into the wild, about 100 meters away from the group, and the cubs were allowed to crawl out and run back into the group. Only the cubs that had the ability to survive could join the group.
This kind of behavior of the white skeleton dragon makes the cubs have to work hard when they are born, so it is not surprising that the eggs are picked up by other creatures. I don’t know how long they have lived here. They are only a few hundred meters away from the dragon’s habitat. It's really rare to meet.
But this strangeness didn't last long. After a day and night, Lin found that a skeletal dragon from the Tak tribe appeared near the huts of the pile of white skeletal dragons. It seemed to come here by accident, and panicked after seeing it. Ran back in a panic.
Lin also put some eyeballs on Tucker's side to observe. After the skeletal dragon ran back to the dragon's habitat, he immediately notified Tucker. After hearing this, Tucker suddenly ignited a burst of strong anger. Came over here...
This may be... the first war of the Tucker tribe. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
