Chapter 141: The Wandering Corpse

In the water, the bloody breath was wafting, and the speed at which the smell was transmitted in the water was also quite fast, and the gnomes knew this, so they abandoned the corpse of the white skeleton dragon and fled on their own.

The corpse floated slowly in the water, and suddenly, there was a 'grunt' in the water, and the corpse sank into the water.

In the field of view of the pom-pom, you can see something very large swimming in the water, its body may be about ten meters long, and its appearance is very familiar to Lynn.

The pom-pom slowly descended into the water, and in the river, Lynn saw the creature in its entirety - it was a giant shark.

Are there sharks here? The shark was grey, and Lynn wasn't sure if it was a saltwater shark, but if it was, it meant that the river was flowing into the sea.

Some marine creatures can also move in freshwater, and it's no surprise that sharks have this ability.

This shark had just swallowed the corpse of the White Skeleton Dragon, and if those gnomes had been carrying the corpse of the White Skeleton Dragon, they would have been swallowed, maybe the gnomes had seen this kind of shark before...... Of course, they don't necessarily run away because they know they will attract sharks, and some other creatures will be attracted to them as well.

In this river, there are quite a few wonderful creatures.

The shark began to swim upstream, and Lin planned to follow it to observe the upper reaches of the river, and should be able to meet other groups of white skeletons......

The pom-pom uses its tentacles to grasp the shark's dorsal fin exposed in the water and slowly moves forward in the water, the upstream river channel is relatively spacious, about 200 meters, the river water is very turbid, but it does not seem to be deep, and some large dinosaurs can often be seen drinking water around the banks of the river on both sides. So far, there have been no white dragons.

Lynn looked at the landscape around her. The topography of the place is recorded. Speaking of which, Lin hasn't explored the entire continent yet, mainly because she has other things to do, and now, it can be said that she is more 'idle'.

'Goo'......' At that moment, Lynn heard some sounds in the water in front of her, and a white thing floated down.

This is...... White Dragon? How can there be such a white dragon floating down?

The shark seemed to have spotted it, and it dived straight into the water. Lin floated to the top of the white skeleton dragon and looked at it carefully, this was the appearance of a corpse, not like the previous one was still alive.

This smell is ......

Lynn suddenly felt a smell, and then the pom-pom flew a little higher, and Lynn saw many corpses floating down, some of them smelling of decay, some of them not.

This feels weird, could it be that something is going on with the White Skeleton Dragon? But it doesn't look like that...... How can it be a little rotten and some tasteless?

The shark was so happy that it swallowed the first carcass in one gulp. Then he went upstream, one by one, and ate all the corpses completely. But as it swam towards the last corpse, Lynn noticed another large black shadow in the water on the opposite side of the shark.

The black shadow was very long, and it seemed to be the kind of creature called 'crocodile', it was about the size of a shark, but Lynn felt that the shark must be heavier in terms of weight......

In the murky water, the two huge figures first confronted each other for a while, and then the shark suddenly rushed forward first! The crocodiles fought back, and their shadows in the river were stirred together, shaking along with the murky waters......

The battle lasted for a short time, and Lynn could see large patches of blood flowing from the river, one of them seemingly having been bitten in the abdomen, and some internal organs and undigested corpses could be seen floating on the surface of the river.

In the midst of all these fishy smells, a huge dorsal fin protrudes from the water, it is a shark! Shark it won!

And it doesn't seem to be injured, it is biting and eating the corpse of the crocodile, among the large number of internal organs and debris, Lin found a lot of stumps and other things such as the white skeleton dragon, it seems that this crocodile has eaten a lot of corpses upstream.

This is......

Lin suddenly saw that there was a not-so-white forelimb floating in the water, this seemed to be the limb of a skeleton dragon, could there be a skeleton dragon on it?

The pom-pom left the shark that was still devouring the crocodile carcass and continued to float up the river, from here on, there would often be some corpses on the river, some white dragons, some skeletons, and many small fish around their corpses, which was a very good meal for them.

But who threw the food down?

Now, the pom-pom follows the river into a valley, flanked by tall and steep rock walls, some pterosaurs live in some crevices in the rock face, this place is somewhat similar to the cliffs in the jungle, it should be very suitable for the gnomes, why didn't they choose here? Is it because you didn't find out? Or is it something else?

Because, Lynn also saw some square openings in the rock wall on the left......

Square? This is obviously suspicious.

The pom-pom flew to the rock wall on the left, and the hole was just five meters from the top of the rock wall, and there were many square openings around it, and the positions were all the same, and Lin found one to get into.

The pom-pom's body is just enough to get into this kind of hole, and inside it is a small cave, and there are many woods, stones, and other things scattered all over the ground.

There must have been some kind of life here, but would the White Skeleton Dragon actually dig such a room in the rock wall?

There was also an upward passage along which the pompom floated out, and when she exited the passageway, Lynn found that it was still ...... A wasteland.

There was nothing around, but there were many neatly arranged passages on the ground, all of which were supposed to lead to the 'rooms' in the rock walls.

But there was no white skeleton dragon here, and then, the pompom burrowed into the surrounding passage, and basically every room was so scattered that it seemed to have been attacked by something, could it be that the white skeleton dragon that lived here was killed and thrown into the river? But what about those attackers? Where did they go?

"Gah!" Lynn suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from a distance.

The pom-pom immediately flew in the direction of the sound, which seemed to be far away, perhaps several kilometers, but could easily be heard in such a wide and quiet place.

The pom-pom flies over the plains of the heath, where there are many thorny plants, which are much more 'plain' than those trap plants.

Getting closer and closer to the place where the voice came from, Lin could see a white figure lying in the distance under the shadow of a large rock, the white skeleton dragon seemed to be weak and almost dead......

Lynn, though, was more concerned about what was behind it.

Behind this weakened white dragon, there was a white 'hill', this was not a real mountain, but a pile of white dragon corpses, maybe a dozen, and there were many pterosaurs eating these corpses......

Beneath the pile of corpses, there was a piece of bark, and there was a long trail of drag on the ground behind......

It seems that the white skeleton dragon piled the corpse on the bark of the tree and dragged it in the direction of the river? Why would it do that?

The pom-pom continued to fly up the trail, and soon, Lynn spotted other white dragons dragging corpses, all of them were padding the corpses on the bark and dragging the bark, but almost every one of them was exhausted, and it was impossible for them to drag it to the other side of the river.

There was a large group of small pterosaurs flying around the sky, some of them couldn't help it anymore and flew up to eat it, some of the white dragons would drive away these pterosaurs, but some of them were no longer able to drive them away.

Skeleton dragons don't have the habit of devouring their own kind, but there is no need to deliberately throw the corpse into the river, just throw it into the wilderness and it will soon be eaten by the pterosaurs, and there will be no disease transmission.

Speaking of which, gnomes will eat dead of their own kind, and will also use the bones of their own kind as 'art', but this habit does not seem to have any effect on their usual unity.

The white dragons looked quite resolute, as if as long as their hearts were still beating, they had to drag the carcass to the river.

Seeing them like this, Lin felt that it might have something to do with 'worship', and the dragon liked to worship all kinds of things, and guided them to all kinds of wonderful behaviors.

The pompom didn't bother the hard-working white dragons, and continued to fly forward, hoping to find the reason for their dragging corpses.

The pom-pom flew higher and higher, and the field of vision became wider, and soon, Lynn saw something wonderful in the distance, as if it was ......

The pompom immediately flew over, only to see that in the vast wilderness, a large number of white dragons gathered, Lin saw that they were all carrying large and small stones, this seemed to be building some big building, what Lin saw at the moment was that these white dragons surrounded the stones into a huge circle of rings, some of them looked like the kind of pits made by the Inca insect swarm, the outermost circle was about fifty meters in diameter, they were now trying to pile these circles high, and the white dragons were carrying stones one by one......

What are they doing with these things? Moreover, the stones used to pile up are quite large, and each of the white skeleton dragons looks quite tired, and some of them fall directly to the ground, at this time, other white skeleton dragons will drag the fallen ones away, and then pile them together, looking like they are specifically responsible for handling corpses.

Looking at the pile of corpses nearby, there must have been a lot of deaths, they must have piled up this kind of thing because they worshipped something, and they died so much and didn't stop, it's really hard to understand their thoughts......

It seems that there are no leaders in this, and it is possible that the leaders are also carrying stones, so they can't be seen, and they seem to be dragged to the river to throw them away when the corpses reach a certain distance......

Pompoms flew past them, and Lynn discovered that not far from the construction site was a village of white dragons' shacks.

There were no white dragons in the village, and it seemed that they had all gone to make those kind of circles, and Lin felt that if they continued like this, they would either starve to death or die of exhaustion...... So, do you want to help them? (To be continued......)
