Chapter 43: The Shadow of Childhood

That's a distant and ancient legend......

Actually, it's not a legend, but it's a real thing that can be almost completely confirmed.

This was when Tucker was a cub, he wandered around with his tribe, hunting, and as a young man, he continued to learn his skills, and living in an age full of monsters required immense abilities.

The Skimmer Dragons have a specific name for each Skeleton Dragon, just like the Head Worm has a different name, but there are few names between the different clans, so Lynn calls their clan 'Wanderer'.

This is also related to the tribal habits of the wrecked dragons, whose race lives in this way, living in no fixed place, wandering around, chasing prey.

Dragonship tribes usually consist of a leader and ten to fifty members, and if there are too many of them, they will separate and form new clans, and the clans rarely interact with each other, rarely meeting each other, but they will accept a lone dragon into the clan.

Tucker's clan is a group of about thirty dragons, and the cubs will learn various knowledge from the elders of the group for about three years, and then they can basically hunt on their own.

The size of the skeleton dragon is not very strong compared to other dinosaurs, and it can even be said that it is thin, so they usually prefer to choose to live in the dry wasteland, there are more small and medium-sized dinosaurs in the wasteland, but it cannot be said that the wasteland is relatively safe, because of the lack of water, trap plants breed, huge worms pass through the ground, and danger is everywhere.

This is especially true for a small dragon clan.

Tucker, who is still a cub, is hunting with the tribe today, and usually the cub follows the mother who gave birth to it, but the skeleton dragon is a little different. Their colony will pile eggs together. The resulting pups are then raised together. There is no specific skeleton dragon to take care of them.

In the light of the sun, the Wanderer group was besieging a dome dragon, they rarely attacked such a large prey, but they were now in a good fortune, encountering an older and lone dome dragon, and Tucker and the other cubs were hiding behind a rock, watching the leader and his people attack.

The other dragons of the clan stabbed the dome dragon in the abdomen with wooden spikes to encircle the beast, and the leader finally threw the wooden spikes with great force. Piercing the throat of the Dome Dragon, the body weighing more than thirty tons fell to the ground with a bang, and all the clansmen, including Tucker, let out cheers.

They didn't have much time to celebrate, though, as the skeletal dragons immediately took out stones or wooden spikes to cut the flesh of the dome, and they couldn't take away the massive creatures, so they had to collect as much meat as they could.

But the dome dragon's screams before death spread across the wasteland, and within tens of kilometers of the vicinity, every creature with a slightly better sense of hearing could know it, and those with a better sense of smell could even smell the blood of the skeletal dragons as they cut their flesh.

There are countless carnivorous creatures in this era. But the greatest danger comes from the air.

A large number of small pterosaurs hovered over the carcass of the dome. Suddenly, they all dispersed, and at the same time, a huge creature came from the sky, its wings obscuring the light of the sun, and in its shadow, all creatures fled in terror.

Tucker has understood this for as long as he can remember: "When the sky is obscured by shadows, run away without recklessness." ”

But it didn't seem to remember much at this time, and Tucker watched as the wyvern swooped down from the sky and landed on top of the dome dragon's corpse, and all the dragons fled in fright.

The Wyvern was one of the most powerful predators of the age, with a huge, armored, and flame-spitting mouth, but it was only looking for food, and would not chase these skinny skeletons and abandon the corpses of the Dome.

Tucker quickly reacted and began to run away with the group, but the wyvern's reaction was unusual, instead of staying there to eat the dome dragon, it spread its wings again and flew high into the air, chasing the fleeing dragons, and when it approached the dragons, a flame erupted, and several dragons instantly turned into charred corpses in the flames, including the leader, who also died at this moment.

The wyvern was all about their group, and the rest of the wyverns fled in terror, and the wyvern landed on the ground, and several white skeletal dragons jumped from its back, and they scattered in pursuit of Tucker's group, piercing their hearts with wooden spikes, both adults and cubs.

Although they were few in number, with the help of the Wyverns, Tucker's clan was wiped out without even a chance to fight back.

Tucker himself was saved by hiding in a pack of giant tortoises and not being discovered......

After that, Tucker was the only one left in the desert, because he did not suffer from any carnivore prey, because he followed the giant tortoise group, and later joined a group of dragons in the desert, and became one of them to continue to live his previous life.

Tucker has always been very fond of his former group, and the cubs have a lot of dependence on the group when they are not fully mature.

However, the new group was also destroyed by a Wyvern attack on a hunting trip, and when Tucker and the other dragons managed to escape, it remembered the skeletal dragons that were as white as salt on the dragon's back.

The White Dragons are an object of extreme fear for Tucker and the rest of the desert Dragons, often riding Wyverns to drive away and slaughter the wandering Dragons.

Tucker grew up hiding from the shadows of the air, and by chance, Tucker saw the lair of the White Skeleton Dragon, which was built out of wood on a tall stone pillar, and Tucker also discovered that the Wyvern was also produced in this place.

Later, when Tucker became separated from the Clan during an attack, he reached the jungle and joined a group of dragons there.

It hadn't seen Wyverns or White Dragons since, but Tucker still remembered them.

Lynn's pom-pom retracted the taboo tentacles that had the ability to manifest, and Tucker's history seemed to be confirmed.

In fact, Tucker doesn't know many words, and some scenes are where Lynn comes up with them and puts them on the display for Tucker to see and confirm.

Because Lynn had guessed pretty much before, it was almost all correct, in short, the White Skeleton Dragon was a 'Sky Race' riding a wyvern before, and they would kill it if they saw a 'wandering Skeleton Dragon' like Tucker.

It doesn't seem like it's meant to eat them, but Tucker says the White Skeleton Dragon will eat them.

These white dragons have great advantages, the main thing is that it is not known why they have a symbiotic relationship with the wyvern.

They used to seem to swim in the air, but now the white dragons are dead underground, and even the wyverns are extinct.

This obviously has something to do with fungi...... (To be continued......)
