Chapter 100: A Seed Planted in the Night
These emerald dragons ...... It's not a friendly creature.
It was night, and the starry sky in the sky was shining brilliantly, but far less than the light of the flames...... The pain of being pierced was transmitted throughout Lynn's thoughts......
If you open your eyes, you can see that the pom-pom is full of dancing and cheering, a large group of emerald dragons around a burning firewood to celebrate, the pom-pom is being pierced by two spears cross-pierced by the flames, feeling the heat wave of the flames, its life is slowly draining away......
The pom-pom was caught by them, and after Lin said the lingua franca of the dragon 'Ga', the leader and the surrounding emerald dragons instantly raised their spears and rushed over, there was not much place to hide in the stone house, and the pompoms were quickly pierced by the spears.
This 'ga' is the first pronunciation, and it originally meant to say hello or something, but it doesn't seem to be useful to the leader of the Emerald Dragon......
Then when it was dark, the leader gathered a large group of emerald dragons nearby, and they piled up a large amount of dry wood and raised a raging fire, and at the same time prepared a red fruit, and a lot of dinosaur meat, etc., as if to celebrate.
Instead of celebrating catching pom-poms, they were celebrating the acquisition of a wurm, which was just one of the 'food' that was inserted here, and was placed next to the flames along with the other dinosaur flesh and fruit.
From time to time, some emerald dragons threw large quantities of dry wood into the fire, keeping the bonfire alive, and Lynn seemed to have discovered the word 'bonfire' for the first time, and it seemed quite correct.
The emerald dragon didn't know how to make a fire, and Lynn saw that while they were making a fire, an emerald dragon cautiously approached with a small smoking branch, which was obviously a fire. They also resemble the White Dragons. Make a fire by keeping the fire alive.
It's kind of funny. A race that knows how to use lightning to control the wurm doesn't know how to make fire...... It's easy to make a fire, but even when a species sees the process of a flame being lit, it's hard to think that you can do it yourself! That's it......
The pom-pom's life was slowly passing, its blood flowing down its spear to the ground, and the blood contained a large number of cells and some mini-class 'immune', which had begun to attack the bacteria in the soil, and then began to slowly form a larger form.
Because of the recent rain, the mud is quite damp. In addition, there are a lot of nutrients in the soil, which gives the pom-pom a chance to 'regenerate', and the blood and corpses of ordinary creatures will be quickly broken down by the mud fungus, but Lin will eat them in turn.
"Gah!" The leader held a piece of turkey dragon's thigh meat and stood in front of the campfire and roared loudly, and the other jade dragons raised their food in their hands and cheered at the same time.
The emerald dragons let out such cheers from time to time, and Lin felt that it was more than just a relationship that they were excited about.
The smell of barbecue permeated the jungle and slowly spread, making some low, loud footsteps sound in the nearby jungle from time to time, and any creature knows that cooked food can be obtained without much effort. These scents attract them easily, so the Emerald Dragons often shout as a way to scare off any creatures that want to get close.
Especially the monsters that are huge. It's not something that a spear can deal with......
The electric gnomes around the Emerald Dragons did not celebrate with them, they would always look around nervously except for eating, listening to the small sounds of the jungle, and the electric gnomes seemed to play the role of 'hounds' in the Emerald Dragons...... Speaking of hounds, what is it?
…… All in all, they are responsible for things like searching and guarding, but because gnomes are also highly intelligent, they may be able to do more complex tasks, such as bringing a wurm.
The gnomes seem to be provided with all food by the Emerald Dragon, and their own predatory ability should be poor.
The leader of the Emerald Dragon walked over, and it took out a sharp stone chip, stabbed it into the pom-pom's body, and slowly cut it.
Lin wasn't going to fight back, but the Emerald Dragons were an interesting opponent, and it should be fun to fight them.
Not Lynn's opponent, but ...... Tucker's opponent.
Judging by their attitude towards pompoms that speak a lingua franca and appear to be skeletal dragons, the Emerald Dragons must be quite brutal to other skeletal dragons, they may have killed other skeletal dragons, and if they saw Tucker's group, they would definitely kill them.
In that case, it is up to Tucker to work on them as a target.
In fact, the Emerald Dragons are not much superior to other Skeleton Dragons, but their large population is a difficult problem to deal with, the Skeleton Dragons usually do not have such a large group, and the Emerald Dragons may have gathered together for some reason.
Lynn had thought about this question very early on, asking Tucker and them not to separate the group, but to gather together, and the large number should further promote the development of the group.
The pom-pom was slowly cut through the outer layer of fluff by the sharp stone chips, but the leader of the Emerald Dragon did not see the 'internal organs' inside, and the pom-pom liquefied most of the structures in the body before being cut, which was an autolytic method, and when the leader opened the pom-pom, only a large amount of liquid flowed out.
"Gah?" The leader didn't seem to have seen this phenomenon, and there was obviously blood flowing out just now, but now it turned into a pile of liquid? Puzzled, it flipped through the fluff and found that there was really nothing in it, so it put the fluff on its head in some frustration......
What does it wear on your head?
I don't know what the significance of this move is, but it is worn, and the leader used to wear a skull on his head, but now it looks like this skull has grown hair, which feels quite strange.
The pom-pom let out a number of small eyeballs to continue to observe the situation before dissolving, and the leader stood in front of the campfire with a strange fluff, and he raised the fluff above his head and cheered.
But this time, only one voice answered it, and I saw an emerald dragon come out of the surrounding group of emerald dragons, this emerald dragon was stronger than the others, it stood in front of the leader, and shouted; "Quack!"
This seems to mean that they want to challenge the appearance of the leader, and do they rely on this unreliable method to decide the leader? Speaking of which, creatures like the Skeleton Dragon have a habit of taking care of their youngsters together, so there is no difference between male and female in appearance, so it is possible for both sexes to be the leader.
"Gah!" The leader brought the fluff back on his head and seemed to accept the challenge.
The battle was quite short, and the leader easily knocked the challenger to the ground, and the challenger quickly fled back into the group, fighting in a peculiar way, not with claws, but with heads against each other...... They're not ceratosaurs, but they seem to work very well.
The emerald dragon's feast continued through the night, and when it was close to day, one of the emerald dragons made some spark on the burning bonfire and took it away, and they all scattered, leaving a large number of bones on the ground.
They don't seem to clean up these things, which can easily grow a variety of fungi, including...... Lynn's pom-poms.
Many of the pom-pom's cells penetrated into the mud with the liquid, and Lin began to let it slowly move into the distance, then grow in a plant-like form, sticking out of the roots to absorb nutrients, most of which were a large number of fungi in the soil, and at the same time growing up small seedlings, slowly growing like a tree......
By the second day and night, the seedlings had broken out of the ground and appeared to be a white cone, with small eyeballs appearing on the sides of the cone to observe the surrounding environment.
Lin deliberately moved to a place far away from the Emerald Dragon's stone house group to grow, so that it would not be easy to notice.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Lynn saw a small jade dragon looking curiously, stretched out its hand and poked it, and walked away.
Found by a puppy...... It doesn't matter.
The pom-pom 'sapling' continued to grow over time, and Lynn made a bark-like structure out of chitin, while growing green 'leaves' around it to absorb sunlight and obtain nutrients.
During the time the pom-poms were growing, Lin also observed the life of these green creatures, usually hunting in small groups with a few gnomes, and also feeding on the red fruits grown from a nearby dwarf tree, and the leader would occasionally ride wurms and gather large groups to hunt larger prey, such as some large dinosaur groups, etc.
Strangely, Lynn didn't notice anything they were growing or raising, and the Emerald Dragon's food source came entirely from outside.
Day after night passed without the Emerald Dragon noticing, a small white seedling slowly began to grow in the nearby woodland, observing their every move in life, except for the only Emerald Dragon cub.
The cub comes to see the pom-pom seedlings grow every day and night, and it also engages the seedlings on the stone slabs, but it doesn't seem to tell the jade dragon otherwise, it comes and paints it itself.
This pup ...... It's interesting.
By the time of ten days and nights, the pom-pom seedling had grown into a small tree, as it was white except for the leaves, and it attracted the attention of some other emerald dragons, but they didn't pay too much attention, and only the pup was still around the 'pom-pom tree'.
In this way, day and night passed slowly, the pups recorded the changes of the tree day after day, the pompom tree grew extremely rapidly, it became thicker and thicker, taller and taller, the reticulated roots were devouring the energy of the ground, and the pups were constantly changing the stone slabs to record the growth of the tree......
Until the thirtieth day and night.
The pom-pom tree had reached a height of ten meters, its huge green leaves shielding itself from the scorching sun and absorbing nutrients, and the cub was still sitting under the tree, recording the changes in the tree.
So now it's big enough that maybe it's time for the 'result'. (To be continued......)
