Chapter 139 The Awakened Group
What appeared before Liddell's eyes was a huge...pompom!
The pompom had a diameter of more than a hundred meters. It seemed that because the pompom was too big, Liddell completely forgot what he was supposed to do and just stared blankly.
The next moment, the huge pompom suddenly shrank to its original size of more than one meter in diameter, and floated in front of Liddell, but Liddell was completely stunned at this time, as if it would take a while to recover.
This seems quite interesting...how did it come here?
Lin had noticed the intruder outside a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to be a small skeletal dragon. In fact, after watching the war between the skeletal dragon and the dwarf, Lin continued to sleep and observed the situation inside.
Lin still needs to make a lot of adjustments in the 'dream', such as being equal to the real time. The way of species change in it is not so perfect at present. There are many places that need to be modified. One thing is that they change too fast. In just a few days and nights, a lot of strange appearances appeared...
When Lin is completely asleep, Lin is completely cut off from the outside world, but there are some special sensory tentacles spread all over the underground base, and there are other places in the jungle, they are used to sense earthquakes, or a large number of enemy troops are coming, etc. A large situation thus awakens Lynn.
At the same time, Lin also installed a connection device among the pompom statues in the skeletal dragon community. As long as the skeletal dragons put their heads in, a kind of spiritual tentacles inside will automatically bind their heads and release electrical signals. It can connect their brains to this dream, and the effect is very similar to that of the previous hallucinogens. It is also possible to feel real pain and other feelings here, but this aspect seems to be not very perfect...
Lin only told Tucker about this. That was before it attacked the dwarf, and Lynn told it to blow the horn of the ceratopsian, which would open the connection port of the statue's base.
But why didn't Tucker come in, but a little skeletal dragon? Discovered by blowing the horn by accident? Or did Tucker let it in? Speaking of which, this little skeletal dragon is an 'apprentice' of Tucker, who seems to be called Liddell...
The teaching of the small skeletal dragons is mainly taught by some experienced skeletal dragons, in addition to their usual observation with the group, and each skeletal dragon will bring some small skeletal dragons as 'apprentices'. This Farin seems to be very good. Tucker himself also selected a few lively and active cubs to teach, and Liddell is one of them.
The pompom was floating around Liddell, and it finally came to its senses after being stunned for a long time. Seeing the pompom in front of it, Liddell immediately yelled: "Gah! Chief! Illness...Gah!"
It seems that because the language has not been fully learned, Liddell's speech is somewhat slurred. But Lin still heard one sentence.
Tucker they have diseases?
"Get out." After Lin finished speaking to Lidell, the world around him disintegrated and disappeared instantly. When Liddell saw clearly again, it found that its head was still in the hole in the base of the statue, and it immediately pulled it out .
"Liddell!" It found several skeletal dragons around it worriedly, watching it get out. A big skeletal dragon immediately said: "What happened?"
"It's ready." Liddell said, "The pompom is back..."
As he said that, Liddell pointed to the sky, and the skeletal dragons immediately looked up to the sky, only to see a white pompom slowly descending from the sky.
"Pompons!" The skeletal dragons cheered excitedly when they saw the pompoms in the sky!
Lin watched the surrounding environment slowly drifting down. Now Lin has realized that there is indeed a big problem here...
The coughing of the skeletal dragons was everywhere. Except for the cheering ones below, they all seem to be very weak. They should be infected with some kind of disease. It seems that not only the sensory tentacles that remind big events are needed, but also small problems must be reminded.
Lin looked around and found a skeletal dragon lying in front of the tree house. It looked very weak. The pompom flew over immediately, stretched out its tentacles and penetrated into its nose and mouth, and released a large number of small soldiers to attack it. Monitor.
That's right.
Lin easily discovered the cause of their disease, which was a fungal infection. There was a lot of fungal dust in the lungs of this skeletal dragon, which seemed to cause pulmonary hemorrhage and other conditions, and eventually the entire lung might be damaged.
Of course, this is not a plague fungus. Most fungi have similar infection capabilities, but the immune cells of the skeletal dragons are very strong, but this fungus is brand new to them, so they have no resistance.
They may have been infected by running to some places they have never been to, but some of the skeletal dragons are also resistant. For example, the few skeletal dragons cheering below are relatively strong resistance, but the adult ones seem to be more resistant. Weak, but why does the cub seem to be perfectly fine? I'll have to look it up later.
Although the possibility of the original skeletal dragons getting sick is very low, if they get sick, the whole group may be destroyed, so Lin must help them.
The skeletal dragons often cough after being infected, leading to the infection of other skeletal dragons. It is too easy for Lin to solve this problem. Lin can easily kill these fungi by putting them into the exploration units. They use simple And the violent method devours the fungus, and then releases a nutrient solution to restore the damaged lung structure inside.
Then, the pompom continued to fly to other skeletal dragons, and put them in a small army to deal with the fungus.
At the same time, the pompom also eats some of the nutrient balls that grow on the dragon's perch to replenish nutrients, thereby creating more troops.
Lin found that because of the war, the number of skeletal dragons had become very small, less than one-fifth of what it used to be, but the cubs were fine, and there were only a large group of cubs and weak adult skeletal dragons left here.
These cubs... are quite strange. They can resist this disease not because of their own resistance, but because they are infected with a parasite.
The parasite also lives in the lungs, a larva known as a 'lung fly', but it does minimal damage and secretes an inhibitory ingredient that inhibits the growth of the fungus in the lungs , so the pups are mostly fine.
The lung fly will not parasitize the adult skeletal dragon, and the larvae that parasitize the young will also break away and become adults when the young grow up, so the adult skeletal dragon will be sick...
So that's the case, is this called 'striking the wrong way'? It doesn't seem right either.
At this time, the pompom flew to the dragon's perch where Tucker was, and Tucker was lying there in a deep sleep, motionless, and seemed to have no major problems.
The pompom continued to heal Tucker with tiny units. In the following time, Lin slowly cured all the skeletal dragons here, including Tucker, and they recovered quite quickly. I can move.
When the skeletal dragons woke up, they were quite surprised, and all the skeletal dragons gathered in front of the pompom statue as quickly as possible.
Once again, they did a celebratory dance for the pom-pom, with Liddell as 'Find the pom-pom' being one of the focal points this time around, although Lynn thinks it just happened to find the connecting hole.
"The pompom is here! Santos is gone!" Under the night sky, the cheering skeletal dragons piled up all kinds of food and held up a red fruit to celebrate the pompom!
At first they called the pom-poms the 'giver', but that was changed and Lynn told them to just call the pom-poms pom-poms, which felt better.
But no matter which name it is, the word pompom is a thing of worship for Tucker and the others.
"Liddell, the pompom seeker!" At this moment, Tucker stepped out from among the cheering skeletal dragons, and handed little Liddell a small statue of a pompom.
"Gah!" Liddell took the statue, and it looked quite excited, as if Tucker intended to make it the next leader.
This doesn't seem very good. After all, Liddell didn't do anything special, but just discovered the hole. Lin felt that it was necessary to teach them a little bit.
The current dream world is not perfect, Lin plans to temporarily close that hole, and open more holes in the future so that they can all be connected to the dream world.
That would probably be interesting, but Lynn thinks that this may lead to the phenomenon of 'addiction'. They may not want to be active in the real world because they like to be active in that world. In fact, this phenomenon has already appeared now, some When Skeletal Dragon has been painting, he will become fond of doing this kind of thing and not doing other things.
Lin learned about the battle situation of dwarves from Skeleton Dragon. It seems that those little creatures are still very powerful. Tucker kept some dwarf cubs and piled them in a tree house. Lin thinks that their diseases may be caused by dwarves. Those hobbies Bone creatures do have the potential to harbor a lot of fungi.
But now that the dwarves have fled to the wasteland, and the white skeleton dragons have probably been killed, then the skeleton dragons are the only ethnic group here, and they can develop without restriction.
Lin will observe them closely to ensure the development direction of the skeleton dragons. As for the emerald dragons on Susumi's side, Lin will not care about them, and then see how the two groups develop differently.
After the celebratory ball, Pompom continued to stay in Tucker's group, Lin told Tucker how to choose a leader, and after that, Pompom left Tucker's group...
After that, everything was quiet...
Because several races were separated, there would be no wars, and each race would start a new round of development. Pompom flew to the remote wasteland. Near the river that crossed the wasteland, Lin saw a large number of escaped gnomes forming a new colony here. The bones are no longer just decorations, they are also used to build nests .
As for the White Skeleton Dragon... are they really extinct? (to be continued...)
