Chapter 173: Pursuit
Hiding in the shadows of the trees, its eyes fixed on its target, the tip of its spear coated in the venom of the poisoned dart frog, it was very patient, it was waiting for its chance.
Flying spear, the goal of this particular emerald dragon is very clear - Mukla, who has just jumped off the back of the wurm, has deliberately smeared the spear with venom in order to deal with Mukla.
This amphibian creature called poison dart frog is unique to the dinosaur continent, usually amphibians such as salamanders, the skin is poisonous, but the poison dart frog takes this to the extreme, they do not produce poison themselves, but eat the venom of various poisonous creatures and store it in the skin, and then just touch it may make a strong nerve venom penetrate into the body to cause death, but the flying spear is obviously very good at dealing with this creature, and its venom-coated spear is now extremely deadly......
The Flying Spear was now on the trunk of a tree, and Mukla was walking right below with his troops, which was a great time, but what was the point if it succeeded? Jump out and command the troops again? The other jade dragons would definitely be suspicious.
The jade dragon has a rule that it cannot kill its own kind, whether it is a noble or a subordinate citizen, those who kill their own kind will always be slaves forever.
In fact, the jade dragon rarely kills its own kind, and they usually only steal at most, because stealing things will only last for a while if they are treated as slaves, but killing their own kind is quite strict.
As if trying to ignore this question, the flying spear raised its spear high and aimed at Mukla under the tree.
'Whoosh! ’
With a sound piercing through the air, the spear steadied firmly into Mukla...... Half a meter on the ground in front of him, Mukla was before the flying spear threw his spear. It leaps backwards in an instant. Dodged the attack.
At the moment when the spear was stuck in the ground. Mukra and several of the guards behind it immediately looked up at the tree, but there was nothing on it.
When it saw Mukla dodging, the spear hid behind the trunk of the tree, and it must have thought it was strange now, why was Mukla able to dodge?
Of course, Mukla didn't hide when it felt like it was going to be attacked, it had long thought that the spear was going to attack it.
Mukra didn't notice where the spear was. But it had been paying attention to its surroundings since it came down from the wurm, and it was probably aware of where the spear might be hiding, and then it was familiar with when the spear would attack it, and Mukla had been watching nervously.
It wasn't until the Flying Spear was about to attack it that Mukla happened to see the emerald green figure in the tree...... It was able to dodge the ......
Lin found that these jade dragons were really powerful in using this method called 'scheming', and their ideas about this aspect were quite complicated, one side was constantly thinking about how to calculate the same kind, and the other side was constantly thinking about how not to be counted by the same kind......
The word like is the key...... These creatures were so selfish that Lynn even suspected that they weren't social creatures anymore. It's just that a single jade dragon can't survive in the wild, and they only stay in groups as a last resort.
Flying Spear probably didn't just want to kill Mukla. It might even want to take out the entire search party, which of course is almost impossible for it to do on its own, but with the help of the power of some creatures in the jungle, and then it can go back and say that the search party has been ruined for some reason, and that it can officially take the throne itself.
Of course, it's not possible now.
"Come on, it's hiding there!" With a loud roar from Mukla, the surrounding guards immediately climbed up the tree, and the flying spear did not hide when it saw this, it jumped out from behind the trunk, and then jumped directly from the tree to the ground, and then ran into the depths of the jungle.
"Chase! Don't let it run, be sure to fix it! Mukla immediately chased after the spear with a group of guards, and Mukla seemed determined to catch it.
Fast and agile, the Flying Spear burrows into a variety of foliage plants in an attempt to shake off its pursuers, but Mukla's forces are not just emerald dragons, they also carry dozens of electric gnomes who are good at tracking.
In fact, the Electric Gnomes had already spotted it when the Flying Spear was tracking the troops, but because they were familiar with the Flying Spear, they didn't react in particular, but now they also saw the Flying Spear's attack and thought that the Flying Spear was a hostile target.
The gnomes rushed to the front, following the spears in a peculiar way of detecting scents, and they could chase after them no matter how they dodged.
After rushing through a bush, the Flying Spear felt a little tired, and at that moment it paused, a dwarf jumped out of the bushes, opened its mouth and bit directly into the Flying Spear's leg.
The Flying Spear immediately ripped it off with great force, kicking it out, and it once again stepped out of its blood-spattered leg to continue its flight, and more gnomes rushed out of the bushes, biting down on the Throwing Spear's leg in an attempt to restrain its movement.
The spear kicked the nearest dwarf away, and then all it was to hear, 'Whoosh!' ''Whoosh! Several bows and arrows were stuck in the dirt around the spear, and all the gnomes pounced on them at this time, and they bit the whole body of the spear, and Mukla arrived with his troops.
Although it is said that those who kill their own kind only want to become slaves and not die, in fact, because the flying spear is still resisting, there is no problem for other jade dragons to kill it......
Mukla and the guards didn't say a word, they set up their bows and arrows and aimed them at the head and heart of the flying spear.
As the arrow was bounced out by the bowstring, the spear suddenly bent down, causing all the bows and arrows to shoot into the air, and then it threw itself directly to the ground and rolled continuously, throwing off all the dwarfs on its body, and it rolled itself into a patch of grass.
Lynn felt that her desire to survive was really strong, but it didn't make much sense...... Mukra had just sent some of his troops back to the city, and they would inform the city about the Flying Spear, so that the Flying Spear would never return to the city.
And it's hard to say whether it's alive or not, there's a lot of blood on the ground, and the smell of it all the time 'tells' where it is......
However, Mukla was still more prepared, and it sent the troops back to the city in advance to make an announcement, just to prevent the spear from escaping at all.
Mukla and his troops dug through the grass and followed the bloodstains, and they soon discovered where the spears were hiding...... A cave.
It was a cave with a diameter of more than two meters, bottomless, and the blood stains of the flying spears stretched all the way to the depths of the cave, and several gnomes circled around the perimeter of the cave, refusing to enter.
"It's ...... Piercing burrows of sand worms, they have never been that far away. Mukla looked at the cave, and it was hesitant to go in.
The Sand-Piercing Worm is a large worm with a body length of more than 10 meters, which lives at the edge of the jungle at a distance, and it has also been recorded by the Emerald Dragons as a 'Dangerous Creature Slate', and in fact some Emerald Dragons even worship this creature.
Of course, these burrowing things are quite difficult to deal with, much more dangerous than those large carnivorous dinosaurs, if the spear runs in, it is indeed possible to be eaten by the worms, but it is also possible to survive, if Mukla decides to wait here for it to come out, in case the worms are out of trouble, this elusive monster may be able to destroy the whole team!
And Lin knew that Mukla was still worried about a problem, this worm was too close to the city, it would pose a threat to the city, this kind of underground worm suddenly changed habitats, and it was indeed strange to come to the depths of the jungle that had never been before, this kind of worm is not very adaptable, it has great requirements for soil quality, and suddenly ran here...... Maybe it means something is happening in the distance.
"You guys, go back to the city and report." Mukra immediately gave the order, and several emerald dragons rushed back immediately after receiving the order, and then Mukra let the remaining guards disperse, letting them hide in the nearby trees, bushes, and grass, and it still chose to wait for the flying spear to see if it would come out......
Worms rely on their special sense of smell to find prey, and it is useless to hide in general, but Mukla seems to be planning to take this risk, and it has already ordered that if the worm comes out, it will run away immediately, and if the spear comes out, it will be shot immediately!
As for going into the cave to find it, it is probably impossible......
Lin felt that it was unlikely that Mukla would wait for the Flying Spear to come out, and of course the Flying Spear knew that Mukla was blocking it outside, and Lynn had already flown into the cave and saw that the Flying Spear was trying to cover the bite wound on his body with dirt while trying to observe the situation outside......
The two of them formed a stalemate that lasted for thousands of seconds, during which the spear tried to show its head to check, but the arrow that came at it made it understand that it was impossible to get out.
Both sides stayed like this until the night, but Mukla did not give up, and even had the guards light a fire next to the entrance of the cave to prevent the spears from escaping in the night......
The Flying Spear didn't seem to be coming out again, and it made a very bold move, and Lin found that it was crawling deeper into the cave, and the worm cave might have been left behind a few days and nights ago, and the worm might not be here, but it could also collapse and so on.
However, the Flying Spear did not encounter that situation, and Lin followed it all the way deeper into the cave, which was not tortuous, but a relatively straight path.
The spear kept moving inside, waiting for the night to pass, and when the day came, it saw a bright light not far ahead.
Is that...... Outlet! There are no worms in the cave! When she found the exit, Lin could clearly feel the joy of the flying spear, and the flying spear quickly ran out of the cave, and Lin found that beyond the cave was a river bank, and a spacious torrent could be seen constantly surging...... (To be continued......)
