Chapter 266: The ...... of the Lonely White Lobble Dragon

Sneaking through the stray dragon forest, the cold light and mist died strangely.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nine hundred million years ago, its ancestors crossed the stars at the speed of light, starting from a distant planet and embarking on this long journey.

870 million years ago, its ancestors swam in the boundless depths of the ocean, dividing themselves with a rudimentary semi-permeable membrane greedily absorbing every nutrient they could, not knowing what joy or fear was, just to live for the sake of living.

370 million years ago, its ancestors had the ability to think, even if it was only a small brain, but they began to think while flapping the water, looking at this vast water world with that not very clear vision, and listening to the first sounds of this world.

170 million years ago, its ancestors recovered from a devastating catastrophe and even began to take on some of their current form, quietly navigating the woods, hiding from ferocious predators and searching for food necessary for survival.

Now, the global upheaval caused by the outbreak of the Yanghai Space Gate has basically subsided, and all kinds of strange creatures are scattered everywhere in Lanxing, and it is now sneaking through the dense forest like its ancestors, observing every movement in the environment, while carefully sniffing the chemical scent distributed in the air, trying to find clues that can obtain food to sustain its own life.

The main reason why the Moonmen called this creature was because although most of its skin was brown and dark green camouflage, it had a slender pure white stripe on its back. This may seem odd, as camouflage skin is supposed to be better concealed in the forest, but this elongated white ribbon stands out...... Some of the people who pray for the moon even have some kind of whimsical idea that this creature called the white locust should be sacred and have a mysterious religious significance. Because its shape reminds these moon prayers of their own characteristics: camouflage skin that can freely change color to blend into the environment, but with long silver hair that cannot change color, the two are very similar.

Perhaps in the distant past, these two species, which now seem very different, did have a common origin, but they have now become completely different, and the differences between them are simply worlds apart: the Moon Prayers already possessed a high IQ and logical thinking ability, while the White Ridgedhead was just a very ordinary small predator living in groups...... Sometimes it also acts as a scavenger.

Many people may think of the unique shape of small carnivorous dinosaurs with short forelimbs and thick hind limbs, but in fact, white-ridged dinosaurs do not look like this, their limbs are basically the same length, and they are more like lions when they are prostrate on the ground, but the head shape is more sharp, more like a dinosaur-like head.

Interestingly, as a small predator, the call of the white-locophosaurus was not the ferocious roar of most carnivores, but a gentle, harmless-sounding call...... It's a bit like the cry of a deer, which may also be a deliberate camouflage, after all, this sound can easily make prey let their guard down, and these social white-loofed dragons also have a decent IQ among animals, and are very cunning.

However, at this time, this is obviously a lone white lophonosaurus, for some reason but it has indeed broken away from the group, if it is placed on the earth of Xiao Cheng's era, this level of creature can completely occupy the territory alone and become a hegemon, but on the Lan Star, the white locust dragon that has broken away from the group is not only impossible to dominate a territory, but has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation...... There are so many creatures that can kill the Whitelophosaurus alone, even some plants, such as the Hollow Radius, can kill the Whitespindle.

However, instead of trying to make it back to the group, the white-lobbed dragon walked silently through the forest on its barely silent feet, its large, almost entirely brown head, probing around with its keen sense of smell, looking for anything that might be its food...... The recipes of the white-loofed dragon are very extensive, and from vegetarian diets, to woodrats and the rotting carcasses of giant beasts, it can be treated as a delicacy.

If you look closer, you can see that there are two distinctly raised tumors behind its head, which are not just cosmetic, but in fact have a special type of light-sensing cell all over their surface. Of course, this structure without a lens and retina is impossible to see clearly like a real eye, but these photoreceptor cells are extremely sensitive to color changes, which can make the white locosaurus vaguely feel the strange movement above and behind, so as to gain a huge survival advantage, and because the amount of information generated by this fuzzy sensing method similar to intuition is not very large, it will not cause unbearable pressure on the visual nervous system in the brain, which is not too large.

Soon, the white-locosaurus seemed to sense something special, and it ran forward at a very fast speed, but still maintained an almost silent way of progress, running for about a kilometer before stopping, vigilantly looking at the surrounding scene.

It was a strange-looking place, the trees within a radius of several meters seemed to have been pushed away by some force, and many young trees that were not yet very mature fell to the ground in a crooked manner, leaving a strange scorched black mark on the ground in the very center. The White-Lobbed Dragon's keen sense of smell could sense a pungent scent coming from there, which made it feel a little restless, as it instinctively sensed danger from the unknown smell and almost couldn't help but want to get out of the place as soon as possible.

The strong, pungent smell severely interfered with its sense of smell, and it could only vaguely make out the traces of many other creatures in the area, and this creature was not very large...... It was only a little hesitant to be hesitant by the number of opponents, but the white-locophosaurus was quickly overcome by hunger, and it knew the reaction of many social animals when they were targeted: when one of them was caught, the other members might come and try to rescue it, but as long as the prey was bitten to death, the rest of its kind would no longer offend the predator for the sake of a dead companion.

Whispering excitedly, the white-lobbated dragon in surprise had forgotten a very important thing, how could it be the only creature attracted to this striking explosion area?

Something began to shroud over the area at some point, and the two tumors on the back of its head felt the rapid change of light, and a strange cold wind made it instinctively secrete a large number of hormones that stimulated muscle movement, and it jumped to the right sensitively at a degree that completely exceeded the normal reaction speed, but the expected attack did not come, which made the white locosaurus turn its head in surprise and look behind, the sight in its eyes made it stunned.

Is that...... What is it?

A hazy mist emitting a faint colored glow filled the air behind it, shrinking and expanding. It was something translucent, something weird, it had no fixed shape, it looked like it was made of gas coalescing, and yet it was clearly floating towards the white locutop, constantly making strange tiny popping sounds.

If Xinglan had seen this scene, she would have been surprised to think of the existence that most resembled the thing in front of her: the Demon of the Other Shore, a gaseous creature floating on the nuclear continent, as illusory and ethereal as a ghost.

But this is not the Demon of the Other Shore, absolutely not, if it is possible for something like a flint or a snail to leave the Nuclear Continent and go to other continents, it is absolutely impossible for a creature like the Demon of the Other Shore to exist outside the region of the Nuclear Continent...... In fact, the reason is very simple, because the energy source of the demon on the other side is the ubiquitous particle radiation in the air, if it leaves the nuclear radiation shroud area of the nuclear continent, then it loses its energy source, and the radiation-free zone that is safe for ordinary creatures is a place where the demon on the other side cannot survive.

What's more, although the hazy light mist in front of him is very similar to the demon on the other side, but a closer look can still see that there are many differences between them, and the white spine dragon finally realized that the danger was gradually approaching, it chirped lowly, ready to start escaping, but the light mist in front of it moved sharply and enveloped its head, and gradually wrapped its entire body downward......

Cold and biting, the feeling of the white locust at this time is an indescribable chill and terror, like being immersed in the frozen ocean of the polar cold, of course, it does not know what the polar region is, but this does not affect it to understand what cold is and what fear is.

Maybe many people will feel this way, sometimes you know that you shouldn't breathe at this time, but in the case of extreme fear, you can't help but intensify your breathing, and this is the case with the White Ridged Dragon, which involuntarily began to gasp for breath in a state of panic, and instead inhaled a large amount of that hazy light mist at once. The chill that had only been raging outside the body suddenly invaded the body, and the cold and piercing sensation made its walking movements more and more sluggish, and its muscles began to twitch unnaturally......

The heat in the blood was constantly replaced by cold, the speed of thinking in the brain was getting slower and slower, the muscle cells began to shrink out of control, and finally, the body of the white spindle dragon fell to the ground sharply, its eyes remained wide, but its eyes had gradually collapsed, and the speed of breathing gradually became sluggish.

Soon, the white-ridged dragon fell to the ground and died, it was not killed by external injuries, nor was it killed by a virus, if you have to define it medically, its real cause of death should be hypothermia, if someone touches the body of this white-ridged dragon at this time, he will be surprised to find that this corpse is so cold to the touch, not at all like it just died, but like it has just been taken out after being stored in a frozen cold storage for several days.

In the silence of the forest, the hazy mist of light slowly drifted out of the nose, mouth, and even ears of the white spindle, recondensed and formed in the air, and with a faint popping sound, it hovered in place for a while, as if to confirm something, and then suddenly locked in a direction, and staggered and moved past.
