Chapter 187 Alien in the Tower

Right now, it was the middle of the day, and there was a large group of emerald dragons resting on the ground after eating the standing scorpions. Many of them should have not eaten for a long time, so most of them were full and had to rest.

Regular troops are different from them. Every regular soldier pays attention to the surrounding situation all the time. Although they also eat, they don’t eat much. At the same time, there are many sub-dragons circling in the sky. There is a situation where you are surrounded after sleeping...

Heijiao is riding on the sub-dragon fully now, and it is paying attention to the direction of the jungle. Suddenly, an emerald dragon came out from the jungle. It walked up to Heijiao and said: "Commander, the investigation report has come out. It's..."

Black pepper said: "Very good, tell me what is the reason?"

Lin's spies also ran behind the sub-dragons riding Black Pepper to listen to them. They were investigating the fact that most of the emerald dragons in the jungle had been killed in a short period of time.

At that time, there should have been several thousand emerald dragons in the jungle, and it was impossible to kill them all at once. Even if they were attacked by surprise, most of them should be able to escape.

"They mainly ate this." The investigating Jade Dragon took out a red fruit, put it on the ground and said, "It may be that the group of standing scorpions put these fruits in the surrounding jungle, and they picked them up before going to bed. ate."

"Is this the reason?" Heijiao said, "Indeed, we should have given them more food. Forget it, bury all the corpses, and then report to the king!"

"Yes!" The Emerald Dragon left immediately.

Lin knew that the fruit was poisonous and would cause drowsiness after eating it. Even if you are beaten to death, it is difficult to wake up. Emerald dragons of the regular army often come out to hunt. I know this kind of fruit, but those emerald dragons in the provisional army don't know it, and the food they brought when they came out was almost finished, so they picked it up because they were hungry?

But... how did the standing scorpions feed them? It must not have been put there in advance, because I didn't see it when I came here.

It should be that before they went to bed, the standing scorpion threw the fruit to the group of emerald dragons in some way, letting them pick it up and eat it...

In short, the main reason is that they are too hungry, let's ignore this. Lin is now going to see what's going on inside the pyramid.

Black Pepper let a group of emerald dragons guard the entrance of the pyramid, but still no one was allowed to go in to investigate. At this time, Lin could just go in and have a look...

"Hey, what do you want to do?" When Lin approached the entrance of the pyramid, the emerald dragon who guarded the gate immediately pointed his spear at the spy and said, "This place is very dangerous! Go back to your team!"

Lin said directly: "The commander asked me to go in and have a look.

"

"Really?" Although the emerald dragon looked dubious, he stepped aside and said, "Then hurry up and go in."

Lin walked into the pyramid. At the beginning, there was a long and narrow passage filled with the smell of smoke. Even after so long, the smoke has not dissipated.

After walking for a while. Lin saw many corpses of emerald dragons on the ground, and Lin checked them. They were almost all suffocated.

It's a normal way to die, but why didn't I see Li Xie's body...

Lin continued to go deep inside, and soon reached an open space, the place was very empty, and the corpses of emerald dragons were everywhere on the ground...

It seems that they were all the emerald dragons that squeezed in. They all died here. It seems that it was a wrong decision to let them in... No, no, these emerald dragons were not suffocated.

Lin found that many emerald dragons had long scars on their bodies, as if they had been cut by something, some even had their abdomens cut open, and their internal organs flowed all over the ground...

The weapons used by the standing scorpions are all spears, they should not be able to do this kind of wound, and where are the creators of the damage and the group of standing scorpions?

There is something suspicious there... Lin saw a large pile of emerald dragon corpses piled up in the center of the empty room. Lin walked over and turned the pile of corpses over. Under the pile of corpses that had begun to stink, Lin saw something purple.

what is this?

"Hey!" Suddenly, the purple thing moved, it suddenly jumped up from the ground, and stood in front of Lin.

Is this... a standing scorpion?

Lin saw that this creature had the same body shape as the standing scorpion, but it was a little different. Its legs were longer, and its forelimbs were not like the pincers of the standing scorpion, but two scythe-like cutting limbs with sawtooth.

Among standing scorpions...is there such a species? Could it be... Lin suddenly thought of a possibility.

This weird scythe standing scorpion glared at Lin's spy, just as it was about to move, Lin suddenly said to it in Liscorpion's language: "What are you?"

"Hey?" The Sickle Scorpion was stunned for a moment, and then it also said, "You, understand our language?"

It didn't seem to speak smoothly, and it felt like its vocal sac was damaged. Lin continued to ask, "You, aren't you Lixie?"

"I am, what? You, you don't need to know, your group will perish and regret it, attack us!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Scorpion with the sickle suddenly rushed up, and the two sickle-shaped forelimbs slashed at Lin's spy at the same time, but before being cut, Lin jumped back and avoided the slash of Li Scorpion. attack.

"Hey!" The Sickle Standing Scorpion rushed over again. It swung the sickle and slashed at the spy's abdomen or neck continuously, but the spy kept avoiding it with a more flexible figure. After a few seconds, Lin felt Sickle Lixie's movement was a little slower, and the spy immediately kicked Lixie's abdomen, kicking it a certain distance.

The standing scorpion stuck its forelegs into the ground to stop its retreating body, but this time it did not continue to attack, but stared at the spy.

It is probably the first time it has encountered such a flexible 'Emerald Dragon', and it is also the first time Lin has seen this kind of standing scorpion here.

This standing scorpion is very strange. In fact, Lin did not carefully observe the life of standing scorpions in each pyramid. She only kept observing the place where Lin brought them out to settle in the beginning. Of course, she had never seen this kind of standing scorpion there. Scorpion's...

Lin thinks that the change of this standing scorpion has something to do with them being the remnants of the Yate tribe. Maybe the standing scorpion itself has some transformation capabilities. Like a division-of-labor species, different bodies respond to different situations.

It is not clear under what circumstances this change will occur, maybe some standing scorpions can change into other forms...

But what is interesting is that the standing scorpions are obviously still like individual creatures. They have not formed a collective consciousness, nor are they commanded by a high-intelligence brain. non-divisional organisms.

This is a very strange form, and it is only possible for the standing scorpion to be produced. Lin also thought about it, what would happen if ordinary species with division of labor lived like individual creatures? That will definitely cause those stronger fighters to look down on those weaker workers, and then the workers feel dissatisfied and start not to work, the soldiers have nothing to eat, and then they are extinct together...

It would be fun to have this situation, maybe the standing scorpion can be achieved, if they can change into extremely different forms, the current sickle standing scorpion is not too different.

"Hey..." Li Scorpion has been staring at the spy, as if looking for an opportunity to attack, every predator is like this, trying to find the moment when the opponent is negligent.

Lin, on the other hand, was looking around to see if there were any other hiding places for standing scorpions. There was indeed no dead body of standing scorpions here. Those standing scorpions should have dug holes and hid in other places...

But where is that cave? Moreover, Lin thinks that there should be a place to store water, because standing scorpions cannot live without water, and they must keep their respiratory system moist.

"Hey!" The scythe standing scorpion suddenly rushed over again, and the two sickles swept towards the spy's body. At an extremely fast speed, the spy's body was cut from the middle in an instant.

Li Scorpion seemed to be taken aback for a moment, it didn't expect it to succeed so easily this time, but the spy's cut-off section did not flow out of internal organs, in fact there was not even a drop of blood, at the same time, the spy quickly opened his arms and hugged Li Scorpion. The head of the scorpion.

"Huh!" At the moment he hugged the Liscorpion, the spy blew a large amount of powder into its face, and the powder mixed into the Liscorpion's respiratory organs. Constantly shaking his head.

That powder has a hypnotic effect. In fact, Lin ate a red fruit of that kind before, decomposed the fruit into powder in the body, and then spit it out.

This thing also has an effect on the standing scorpion. The standing scorpion uses the sickle to support its body so as not to fall, but it has become weaker and weaker. In the end, it still couldn't resist the feeling of groggy and fell to the ground.

At this time, the spy's lower body slowly moved and crawled over, and the cross-section was connected with the upper body, recombining a complete spy.

In fact, the original design of the spy was like this. There are no internal organs and no bones in the abdomen. It is a pile of very tough muscles. If it is cut, it can stop bleeding quickly and cause no harm to itself, but neither can the spy. It was chopped down to where the internal organs were placed.

Lin walked to the standing scorpion with a sickle lying on the ground, and carried out some simple tests on it. Except for a pair of sickles, this creature had the same structure as a normal standing scorpion. It should be under certain circumstances. This caused the standing scorpion to grow a pair of sickles, and it also killed all the emerald dragons here.

Lin thinks it may not be able to do it alone... Then where are the other standing scorpions hiding?

'Boom'.

Suddenly, Lin heard a voice... (to be continued...)
