Chapter 184: Stalemate

Because Lynn's spy suddenly knocked out a hole, the two sides looked at each other in a daze...... This time lasted for dozens of seconds, and suddenly, the scorpions moved first!

They let out a shrill roar and burst out of the hole in the pyramid wall like a swarm! They rushed down the sloping wall and stabbed the emerald dragon below with their spears and other weapons.

The emerald dragon was first frightened by the scorpion's cry, but they also reacted quickly, shouting excitedly one by one and raising their weapons to meet it!

The instantaneous clash of blades reverberated throughout the area with the sound of weapons thumping, and Lin retreated to a farther place to observe the battle.

Although Lin helped the Emerald Dragons knock on the entrance to the pyramid, she didn't plan to help them fight, Lin wanted to see how the Emerald Dragons defeated the Scorpion...... Or be defeated by the scorpion.

The Scorpion's weapons are mainly bonded with special stones and gravel, much like the way they build buildings, this 'special stone' is taken from a type of stone in the ground, which they break up and glue with sand and gravel to form a very strong form.

The weapons of the emerald dragons are quite simple, usually a sharp stone tied to a wooden stick as a stone spear, but they still have the previous numerical advantage, a large number of emerald dragons with spears continue to stab the scorpions, which makes the scorpions have to retreat, some of the scorpions are pushed to the ground by a large number of spears, and then the carapace is broken by the continuous stabbing blows.

The blood of the scorpion had stained the grass on the ground with a fishy liquid, while the Emerald Dragons had little to lose, and after the previous few sneak attacks, their reactions had become noticeably much faster.

Under the constant siege of the Emerald Dragon. Almost all of the scorpions that rushed out were killed. Others retreated to the hole. The Emerald Dragons also walked up the sloping wall, which created a situation: a large group of Emerald Dragons blocked the only pyramid exit of the Scorpion, and the Scorpions that came out would be besieged by the Emerald Dragon.

This made it difficult for the scorpions to rush out and attack in large numbers, and the emerald dragons continued to surround the scorpions with their spears and push them back into the hole, and a large group of emerald dragons kept poking them into the hole with their spears, but the scorpions had already hid deeper and did not come out again.

Some of the more excited Jade Dragons rushed straight into the cave entrance. But the moment it entered, it was pierced through its body by countless standing scorpions......

Seeing this scene, the jade dragons stayed outside the cave entrance and did not dare to enter, but they still blocked the cave entrance, so that it formed a similar form as before, and no one could attack anyone.

But it was clear that it was another victory for the Emerald Dragon, who was shouting outside, while the Scorpion was very quiet and motionless inside.

Lin also squeezed to the entrance of the cave at this time to look inside, and saw that the scorpions were all holding spears. Keeping an eye on it, they were clearly waiting for another jade dragon to jump in.

The life of the scorpion is very peculiar. Emerald dragons usually prefer to live in one room with their cubs and mates, and they don't like to be huddled together, while standing scorpions are densely packed together, apparently their way of life is closer to that of a division of labor species than to individual creatures.

The stalemate continued, and Lin felt as if the scorpions were trying to drag out time, and they would quickly retract each time they hit.

"Get them out with fire!" At this time, Black Pepper shouted in the air, "Hurry up, go find some wood!" ”

This seems to be a common method used in hunting, and when dealing with small burrowing creatures, they smoke them out in a similar way.

With Black Pepper's command, some of the emerald dragons brought some dry wood, blades of grass and flint stones from the jungle, and they quickly built a bonfire on the grass, and then several emerald dragons burned the wood and threw it into the hole.

However, as soon as they threw the burning wood into it, the scorpions rushed forward and trampled on the flames.

"That's not how you threw it!" Black Pepper shouted from above, "Light a fire in front of the cave and fan the smoke in!" ”

The Emerald Dragons seemed to react at this point, and they quickly went to get a few large leaves, and then made a new campfire at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time Black Pepper asked them to collect some special branches, which burned with a lot of smoke, and then they took the leaves and began to fan the smoke into the hole......

At first, the scorpions didn't react in any way, but as the smoke from fanning in them increased, they slowly began to show something abnormal, and they began to retreat deeper into the area, but this still did not stop the smoke and dust from drifting in.

The inside of the pyramid of the scorpion should not be completely sealed, but the ventilation system should be very poor, and a large amount of smoke and dust will be difficult to disperse in a short period of time, which may cause damage to their respiratory system.

Many of the emerald dragons were yelling inside, and they used some words to scold the scorpion inside, although the scorpion didn't understand, but the smoke and noise made them even more uncomfortable.

"......" Some of the standing scorpions made strange noises inside, as if they were starting to feel very uncomfortable, and if they continued like this, they had to come out, otherwise they would all be smoked to death inside.

However, because of the smoke, the jade dragons couldn't see the environment inside the cave, and they were also a little uncomfortable with the smoke, looking at their state, Black Pepper shouted in the air: "Get ready!" They can come out at any time! Aim your spear at the hole! ”

"Whew!" Just as Black Pepper finished speaking, a standing scorpion suddenly rushed out of the smoky cave! With a swing of its spear, it knocked out the bonfire that the Emerald Dragon had built at the entrance of the cave, and then quickly retreated......

Only then did the jade dragons react, they immediately rebuilt the bonfire, this time, they showed a lot of spirit, each jade dragon clenched their spears hard and aimed at the hole, this time they didn't dare to slack off.

Time passed slowly...... For tens of seconds, hundreds of seconds, the jade dragon had been fanning its smoke inside, but after the previous time, the scorpion had not come out again......

Why hasn't it come out? After a long time, the jade dragons had doubts, and Lin also felt a little strange, did they all die inside? Or have you set a trap inside, waiting for the Emerald Dragon to go in and check it out?

Obviously, no Emerald Dragons wanted to go in yet, and they continued to fan their cigarettes...... And the scorpions didn't react at all......

In this way, the light of the sky slowly dimmed, and the surrounding environment ...... It's already night. (To be continued......)
