Chapter 143 Going Against the Current

They woke up...

"Gah...?" A white skeleton dragon who was moving a stone looked around suspiciously, as if he was wondering what he was doing. There were other white skeleton dragons moving stones nearby. The white skeleton dragon immediately put down the stone in his hand and ran away. Going to another white skeleton dragon who was moving, he asked, "Gah?"

"Gah?" The White Skeleton Dragon was stunned for a moment, and it put the stone down.

It seems that they wake up at different times. Lin saw that more and more white skeleton dragons were wondering about their actions. They seemed to remember what they were doing, but they didn't know the meaning of doing so.

They may be doing this unconsciously. Could the brain waves have such a strange effect on them? But... what's the point?

Some Baikelong who were piled up corpses and prepared to drag them to the river also reacted. It looked at so many corpses suspiciously, and a sad emotion suddenly surged in its heart.

"Gah——!!!" The Bai Skeleton Dragon raised his head and roared to the sky. All the Bai Skeleton Dragons who were still moving stones and corpses woke up under its sound.

They put down the stones in their hands one after another, and gathered in front of the howling white skeleton dragon.

Lin found that they were all looking at the piles of corpses. The emotions of each white skeleton dragon were very complicated, some of them had very sad emotions, and they seemed to be regretting...

They are regretting why they did this kind of thing, which caused the death of so many companions. Most of them should be exhausted. The white skeleton dragon seldom rests when carrying the corpse.

"Quack quack ah!" Suddenly. A white skeleton dragon roared angrily, and the other white skeleton dragons were also filled with extreme anger. They frantically rushed to the rock circle that was piled up before, kicked these stones fiercely, smashed the stones, and pushed the stones away. Every white skeleton dragon was doing it angrily. Soon, they piled up the original pile. The stone circle was completely destroyed.

It seems that Bai Shoulong is very angry at what he has done, so do you think it should be destroyed?

The Baikelong should not have been making this kind of circle in the first place. They also have to spare time to hunt and fetch water, plus building this thing, it is understandable that there are less than a hundred of them now.

After breaking all the circles, the Baikelongs were so tired that they lay on the ground one by one. Some were drinking water or eating something. Lin felt that they had a sense of relaxation, as if they were much better tired.

in the next.

The white skeletal dragons all returned to their normal state. When it was dark, they scattered the piles of corpses, and then they lurked next to the corpses, trying to catch the pterosaurs that were going to eat the corpses.

The way they use corpses is quite powerful, and pterosaurs can't see clearly in the dark. The success rate of capture is much higher, pterosaurs are very dependent on vision, and flying creatures are usually like this...

These white-skeletal dragons seemed to be starving, and they caught quite a few pterosaurs in the dark until they were all quite full. They are willing to stop.

When it was daytime, all the satiated white skeleton dragons gathered together. They were standing in front of the corpse, saying some strange words, most of them were 'ga'.

The White Skeleton Dragon doesn't have a very detailed language yet...

After they finished speaking, they left the corpses there, and they all returned to their own huts, as if they began to live a normal life.

In the next two days and nights, these white-skeleton dragons broke the other circles. After that, they didn't show anything special, just like ordinary white-skeleton dragons.

They mainly live in huts, hunt some wild creatures for a living, and regularly go to the river to fetch water.

What is a little strange to Lin is that there are many rooms in the cliff by the river. It seems that it was not made by the white skeleton dragon, and there may be other creatures living nearby.

Lin also saw the corpse of a skeletal dragon in the river before, maybe there are skeletal dragons living near here and have been similarly affected?

Why do they pile up that kind of circle? It seems meaningless, probably because it was imagined by the white skeletal dragons. Sometimes they imagine some strange patterns to explain the surrounding things.

Lin continued to observe these white-skeleton dragons for a while. They have been living in the shed, which is very similar to the lifestyle of the white-skeleton dragons in the jungle. There are no cubs in their colony, and they probably maintain the habit of throwing their cubs out. The difference between the jungle white-skeletal dragons is that they live in large groups, but it is also possible that they gather together after being affected.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the group of white skeleton dragons, the pompom floated back to the river and continued to fly up the river.

There should be more split brains nearby, and creatures affected by split brains. Pompoms flew over the canyon. This river flows southwest. The current here is faster than before. You can see some large fish in the water Swim around.

Unlike the colorful creatures in the sea, the creatures in the river are usually gray and black in color. Although there are also colorful creatures, they are relatively rare. This is an interesting phenomenon, because the color of the sediment in the river is similar to that in the sea. But their colors are quite different...

I found it, it's...

On the river bank, Lin saw some huts located there. Although they were all huts, they were obviously different from the huts of the White Skeleton Dragon. This must be the hut of the Skeletal Dragon.

Since Tucker has absorbed many skeletal dragon groups, there are no other skeletal dragons in the jungle, but obviously there are more skeletal dragon groups in farther places...

Both the skeletal dragons and the white skeletal dragons have the habit of spreading out groups. I don’t know why the emerald dragons are all gathered together, but seeing that each group of emerald dragons lives under a giant egg, they should be different communities. They can exchange mates with each other to avoid inbreeding.

It's also interesting that inbreeding is fine for some species, and it's a big problem for others.

The pompoms flew to the huts of this group of skeletal dragons. There are 49 huts in total. According to the general group of skeletal dragons, this is already close to the largest group, and they will divide into groups if there are more than 50 skeletal dragons.

"Quack!" Lin heard a loud noise nearby, and the pompom flew in the direction of the sound, and found the group of skeleton dragons living here behind a big rock.

The current situation seems a bit strange, I saw a large group of skeletal dragons surrounding a skeletal dragon, and this skeletal dragon's hands were tightly clenched, as if holding something.

"Gah!" the bone dragon holding something shouted, it was protecting the thing in its hand, threatening other bone dragons not to come over.

Lin already knew what it was holding, because there was a feeling of brain waves coming from there.

It's a pity that there are no other skeletal dragons to support it. Two skeletal dragons rushed forward and pressed it to the ground, and another stepped on its hand hard, causing the things in its hand to fall out.

Sure enough, it was a bright red crystal.

"Gah!" Several skeletal dragons picked up the fallen crystal, and then all the skeletal dragons turned and left, leaving the skeletal dragon who was holding the crystal just now lying on the ground...

I haven't seen this kind of divergence in the skeletal dragon, and it really is the effect caused by that kind of crystallization.

Lin followed the group of skeletal dragons. After they walked several hundred meters, they arrived at a strange place. There was a hill made of stones. On the top of the hill, there were some red crystallization.

A skeletal dragon climbed up the hill, and put the crystal just now on the top of the hill. Are there five in total? They actually collected so many split brains.

After placing them, the skeletal dragons stood around the hill, chanting some unknown words in their mouths, and danced and jumped up.

Neither the White Skull Dragon nor the Skeleton Dragon has a very complete language. They generally use the 'universal language' of Ga, but in fact this is quite versatile and can contain many kinds of meanings.

'Snapped! ’ Just as the skeletal dragons were doing this strange ritual, all the crystals on the hill shattered in an instant.

"Gah?" The skeletal dragons looked at the hill as if they were awakened, and when they saw the debris flying all over the sky, they rushed up like crazy! But stopped in the middle of the rush...

Why do you do that? They must be thinking so now.

The life of these skeletal dragons should return to normal soon, and the pompon has no time to observe them now. The pompom will continue to move forward to see if more skeletal dragons or white skeletal dragons are affected.

In the following days and nights, the pompoms continued to move upwards with the water flow. As Lin thought, many affected groups were found, most of which were white skeletal dragons. In fact, there were very few skeletal dragons. After they were affected, Basically, it is to build a strange building, and then worship this split brain. In addition, it will definitely throw the dead companion's body into the river...

This phenomenon has always appeared on both sides of the river. Lin speculates that there are crystals flowing down from the upper reaches of the river, and then picked up by the white skeletal dragons on the river bank. Lin has investigated some communities far away from the river, but she did not find this phenomenon. Phenomenon……

Along the way, Lin 'rescued' dozens of groups of white bone dragons. Except for the group I saw at the beginning, most of them were small groups. Not the same, as the size is related to the size of the community.

In other words, the source of the problem is on the river, there must be something going on there, could it be possible to find the mastermind of another Ater group? But they should be single-brained division-of-work species.

The pompom followed the river all the way up, and after walking for nearly a hundred kilometers, it finally saw... the end of the river. (to be continued...)
