Chapter 169: The Jade Meeting
"The king has not returned."
In the palace of the Emerald Dragon City, Mukla and a group of noble emerald dragons are surrounding the hall, and they seem to be discussing something.
"Yes, it's been five days and nights."
An emerald dragon covered in large red leaves and with a horned dragon skull on his head said, "Shouldn't we find a way?" If the king never returns, the situation will be very bad. ”
"yes." Another emerald dragon said, "The idea of going to get Doruk's egg by itself is too risky, it may have ......"
At this point, the emerald dragons fell silent.
This group of jade dragons was a part of the jade dragons that especially supported Susumi when Susumi first developed, they fought with Susumi and planned all kinds of things together, and now that they have become nobles, most of the jade dragons began to not want to do troublesome things, and enjoyed a life with sufficient resources all day long, and even ignored things about war.
In fact, it had been a long time since they had spoken to Susumi and had not managed anything for a long time.
But then, when they learned that Susumi had left to get Doruk's eggs, they all gathered together and held a 'council' on the topic of what to do if there was no king.
The purpose of these noble jade dragons to participate in the council is very obvious, that is, they want to become the throne themselves.
Susumi had no offspring, so each of them thought they were qualified enough to be kings, and the Emerald Dragon was a peculiar phenomenon, even though these nobles lived a full life. But they are constantly trying to get more resources. Get a higher level of enjoyment.
For the king is not like the former princes. You don't need to have strong strength to be there, and you won't be challenged, so this group of jade dragons are very excited, each of them wants to be in this position, they can have a huge palace and their own troops, what a big temptation is this?
Lynn is also a member of this council, but is now invisible and discolored, and does not participate in discussions......
"We should choose a new king." The jade dragon draped in red leaves from before continued, "This can manage ...... more effectively"
"Absolutely not!" It's not done yet. It was interrupted by a shout from Mukla, who looked at the group of emerald dragons and roared, "Wait until the king returns!" Even if it doesn't come back, you idle Gams don't deserve to be kings! ”
"What did you say?" When the other jade dragons heard this, they were furious and said, "You say we are gags? ”
'Grunch' is the word for the Emerald Dragon, meaning something like 'excrement', and Lynn has noticed that they have been using this word to describe their own kind lately.
This is also a fun phenomenon, I don't know when the jade dragon invented the use of language to attack the same kind, this trick will not cause damage to the other party, but is purely used to provoke the other party, because other creatures can't understand it. So it's specifically for the same kind of use......
Lin reckoned that they couldn't attack casually, so they changed to verbal expression. After inventing this way of dealing with the same kind, will it make the Emerald Dragon even more selfish? Presumably, it will definitely be, and it will also make the two sides of the conflict even more excited.
"You don't think you're a cruff?" Mukra walked directly in front of the jade dragon, glared at its eyes and said, "Then you can try to prove it." ”
Mukla is also the Emerald Dragon who has supported Susumi for a long time and has followed it to this point, unlike other nobles, it does not enjoy the resources obtained excessively, but has always followed Susumi to learn about it, and Mukla himself likes to make all kinds of new things, and it is also very good at fighting.
Lin felt that it was possible for Mukla and Susumi to have offspring, but they were of different genders.
The bodies of those noble layers who only enjoy have weakened and do not know much about fighting, and unlike them, Mukla's body has obviously not weakened, but looks quite strong.
When that noble layer was stared at by Mukla, it already had a feeling of fear, and it couldn't make a sound at all.
The other jade dragons didn't say anything, these nobles all had the same status, so they couldn't command anyone
"In that case, let it be decided, and we have decided to wait for the king for thirty days and nights." While everyone was silent, one of the emerald dragons spoke, this emerald dragon was not wearing dinosaur skin or leaves, it could be seen that its body had many scars on its scales, it also had a string of sharp dinosaur teeth on its neck, it was also one of the commanders in charge of fighting and hunting large creatures, its name was 'Flying Spear'.
"The king may be fine, but we can't wait any longer, the king is riding a wurm, and even if there is a problem with its wurm, thirty days and nights will be enough for it to return here."
The name 'Flying Spear' is not its original name, it gave itself its own name, at the time of battle, because its flying spear throwing technique is particularly powerful, other jade dragons also recognized its name, the name of the jade dragon is indeed very casual.
The words of the Emerald Dragon's 'Flying Spear' were approved by most of the nobles, and they all agreed.
Although it is said that the noble class can usually command ordinary guards, in fact, these jade dragons who specialize in combat have considerable prestige in front of any other jade dragon, let alone as full-time guard commanders.
"So be it." Mukra looked at the situation, and it had no choice but to agree, but it immediately said, "But we must send out a search force." ”
"Of course, we must go and find the king." "I will lead my troops to Doruk's lair and find the king's trail," said the Flying Spear. ”
Mucha said: "Very well, it was decided, and now the meeting can be dismissed." ”
After Mukla's words fell, the surrounding emerald dragons scattered and left the palace, but when the flying spear was about to leave, he was stopped by Mukla.
"I will go with you to find the king." Mukla said to the Flying Spear: "You can't go by yourself. ”
"Of course...... Mukla. Flying Spear nodded in agreement and walked out of the palace.
They seem to have a very complex mindset and behavior...... Lin looked at the appearance of this group of jade dragons, and with the feeling of the love in their hearts, she could basically guess their thoughts, and the flying spear also wanted to be the king, but it didn't obviously come out, Mukla really wanted Susumi to come back, and it was afraid that the flying spear would do to Susumi if it found Susumi on the road, so it had to follow.
Of course, it can't go on its own, otherwise it doesn't know what they will do in the city with the flying spear and other nobles.
Although Susumi has done a lot of ways to make other jade dragons worship him, in fact, it is only effective for the ordinary layer, and these jade dragons in the upper layer may not worship it too much because it is easy to see Susumi, and of course, Susumi also has a considerable number of supporters......
However, it is not that these jade dragons usually do not support Susumi, but after thinking that Susumi might die, the idea that they want to be the king suddenly came to them.
Curiously, this complex act of acquiring the throne does not seem to have much to do with the Emerald Dragon's intelligence, and some species with half the brain size of the Emerald Dragon will also behave similarly, taking advantage of the leader's weakness to gain the leader's position.
It's an interesting phenomenon, but in any case, it's a great thing to be able to compete for the throne.
Although, they may be less likely to ascend to the throne.
Over the course of the next day and night, Mukla and Flying Spear left the city with an army of two hundred emerald dragons and began their journey into the jungle in search of Susumi.
Lynn wanted to go with them, but lately, Lynn had detected something special.
It was under the rift.
…………
This is the center of the rift, full of black mud and oddly shaped plants, where Lynn's leg was found, and now, Lynn has set up a 'digging station', a spherical base that towers over the mud, this base is about three meters in diameter, and will produce some small troops 'mud drillers' to search the mud here.
This is a black worm-type class about two meters long, recently, Lin was about to change positions after almost searching this quagmire, but just as she was about to leave, Lin suddenly found a ...... under this quagmire Cave.
The quagmire was not very deep, only more than ten meters deep, and the cave was hidden under a stone, which was not discovered at first, when Lynn occasionally asked a mud driller to try to burrow into the bottom of the mud.
Now, a large number of Lynn's mud drillers have entered the cave, and it is not surprising that there is a cave in general, but the cave was clearly excavated by creatures, and some carapace fragments have been found inside.
This is a carapace fragment of the horseshoe crab known as 'Coiled Fear', and the material is clearly the same as the leg.
But the cave was just over a meter in diameter, and it was impossible for such a huge creature to get into, so Lin thought that there was a possibility that the pan dread had been broken down in some way, and most of its body had disappeared as a result, leaving some pieces here.
Is it because of death that the fear is eaten? This is unlikely, normal creatures don't eat the shell, and Lynn thinks something broke it down before transporting it.
What creature could do that? Why do they do it?
The mud drillers had now gone deep into the cavern that led to the ground, and Lynn thought that the secret might be hidden in this cavern.
But by the time Lin thought so, the mud drillers had already come to an end, and the cave was only a dozen meters long...... Strange, isn't it here?
Just as Lynn thought this, a special feeling suddenly came to her. (To be continued......)
