Chapter 195: Night Sneak Attacker

More than thirty days and nights have passed since the Emerald Dragon began to attack the Standing Scorpion.

A lot of things happened during this period, but what has attracted Lynn's attention the most at the moment is the madness of Black Pepper......

Black Pepper has gone crazy, from the nightmare at the beginning to the current condition, its spirit has become more and more abnormal, originally Susumi had three battle commanders, Mukla, Black Pepper, and Flying Spear.

After losing two, Susumi decided to re-elect more commanders, otherwise it would be difficult for him to command so many troops, and instead of selecting them directly, Susumi customized a new system called 'Upgraded'.

Linde said that the name Susumi was weird.

But the meaning in it is very simple, the number of kills, the table in the battle to customize the 'level' of the soldier, the senior can command the low, the higher can get the wurm mount, and the highest can be the commander.

Some of them are like competing leaders of the Skeleton Dragon, but no matter how high the 'level' of the Emerald Dragon is, it will not be higher than the king......

In order to customize the new system, Susumi plans to have five ...... here Now the open meadows of the four pyramids are starting to trim the troops, and some powerful emerald dragons will be selected from them, and the attack may be delayed a little longer than expected.

Because the emerald dragon will deceive its own kind, some emerald dragons will presumably lie about their own achievements, and dealing with the false report may be another trouble, but this is none of Lin's business...... Lin was more concerned about black peppers.

The Brain-Maker has been labeled as a 'poisonous, extremely dangerous' creature that caused Black Pepper to become like this, and its artboard has been transported to the city via guò wurm. It must be a short time later. The Emerald Dragons will be able to fully understand this creature.

And as for the black pepper that was bitten. At this time, the emerald dragon didn't know what to do, so it was now tied to a stake with vines, and Lin walked up to it and looked at the emerald dragon who kept saying some strange things.

"They, Oriental...... Quack, ahhh Black Pepper struggled, repeating the words in his mouth.

"Don't go near it!" When Lin's spies approached, the jade dragons guarding the black peppers on both sides immediately raised their spears and said, "The poison in it may be contagious!" ”

"......" Lynn didn't say anything, but she didn't move on.

As a matter of fact. Lynn can cure the black pepper, but if she gets it right, she feels like she's missing some special clues...... Black Pepper's brain is now affected by a special substance.

And this substance is not injected by the brain-making monster, but produced in Black Pepper's own body, this substance was originally used to make the body more excited, but also has some other functions, Lin recently noticed that after every nightmare, Black Pepper's body will produce a large number of corresponding substances, presumably for some reason to induce its body to secrete these things.

This kind of thing is harmless, but after a certain amount. It's going to make the mind abnormal.

Tong Guò studied the black pepper, and Lin had already discovered the cause of the trigger. It was something like an electric current, probably created by the brain-creature when it bites.

Because this kind of thing was so hard to spot, Lynn didn't notice it at all...... And now, Lynn has also found this 'induced current' in another creature.

This is related to the creature that Lynn found before that made the 'ground projectile'......

The creator of the ground projectile, which does not take in nutrients itself, was there waiting there to see, and recently finally waited for a creature to come and feed.

This creature can be said to be a ...... The discharge-type creature looks like a parasite called lice, but it is more than a meter in size, and its two forelimbs are specialized into a kind of power generating organ.

This thing is responsible for feeding the maker of the ground bullet bug, and it usually lives a hunting life, which seems to be nothing special, but its ability to discharge electricity is relatively special, and it will damage the endocrine mechanism of some organisms that are electrocuted, which is very similar to the impact of black pepper.

Presumably, the Brain Monster also has a similar ability, because of this ...... It's called the 'electric lice', and it's the same as the brain-making monster, and it's a creature left over from the subspecial group.

However, the impact of the brain-making monster on Black Pepper is even deeper, it can make Black Pepper have nightmares and other situations, and this nightmare is not imagined by Black Pepper's own thoughts, but is fixed.

In fact, it is difficult to believe that these behaviors of Black Pepper are caused by a single brain-creating monster, and it is likely that there is something else that is continuing to affect Black Pepper.

Moreover, it always mentions the East, where is it?

If Lin wants to solve this problem, she has to keep Black Pepper crazy...... Maybe at some point, Black Pepper will point in that direction.

The night had slowly deepened, and Susumi had finished the first round of selection of the Emerald Dragons, and it had selected a lot of elite Emerald Dragons, just as Lin thought, Susumi didn't believe in the Emerald Dragons who reported their own achievements, and Susumi chose the Emerald Dragons who had seen the battle kill by himself or Mukla himself.

After eating a feast of roasted scorpions, the jade dragons began to build a temporary hut with simple branches and stones, forming a huge camp, almost all the jade dragons slept in the hut, because this kind of appearance is easy to be attacked without knowing, so Susumi also built some 'guard towers' around this area, and some guarded jade dragons stood on them.

Except for Black Pepper and the guards on the surrounding towers, the surrounding emerald dragons all entered the hut, and the surroundings seemed silent.

Black Pepper seemed tired at this point, and it didn't struggle all the time, but it still hadn't slept, and its eyes had been watching in one direction.

Lin didn't enter the hut either, but kept watching the black pepper in the haystack near it.

There was no sound around but the wind, and Lynn had a feeling that something might happen here......

"There's a situation there!" On a nearby watchtower, an emerald dragon said to its companion.

"What's the situation?" The other emerald dragon glanced at the dark woods swaying in the night wind and asked suspiciously; "What do you see?"

"There was something white in the bushes just now...... "I haven't seen a white creature here." ”

"Probably the White Dragon?" Another jade dragon said, "I don't know if there is a community of those creatures around here." ”

"Will they be in the territory of the scorpion?"

While the two emerald dragons were discussing, several white figures suddenly rushed through the jungle, and they ran under the tower at a very fast speed, rushing directly into the camp without the emerald dragon noticing.

"Quack...... The white creatures whispered and quickly approached in a direction......

Where the black peppers are located.

Lynn noticed the sound of footsteps echoing in the camp, and Lynn immediately asked the spy to change color, waiting for the target to approach, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, through the starlight of the sky, Lynn confirmed the figure of the comer.

This is...... White Dragon? At first, Lin thought that there was a standing scorpion sneaking in to sneak attack, why was it the White Skeleton Dragon?

There were five of them, and they looked around nervously as they walked up to Black Pepper's side, and one of them took out a red object and placed it on Black Pepper's head......

That thing is...... Split brain? Things seem to be getting interesting.

The Splinter Brain didn't seem to react much after it was placed on Black Pepper's head, but Lin felt it release some brainwaves, and the White Skeleton Dragons immediately picked up the Splinter Brain, and they were about to loosen the rope that bound Black Pepper, as if intending to take it with them.

But ......'whoosh! ’

The white dragon that had untied the rope looked at his chest in disbelief, where a spear was protruding, and it fell to the ground before it had a chance to scream.

The remaining four white dragons immediately turned their heads, only to see Susumi standing behind them with Mukla and a few other emerald dragons, and there were more emerald dragons around them.

In fact, the Emerald Dragons who kept vigil were not only in the watchtower, many of them were still asleep in the hut, and they should have noticed the movement here, including Susumi.

"Ga ......" The white skeleton dragons looked around in panic, Su Sumi and the surrounding jade dragons seemed to be surprised by them, because no matter which jade dragon it was, it was estimated that this was a sneak attack by a standing scorpion, but it turned out that it was the white skeleton dragon, and they actually went to attack the black pepper ......?

However, Susumi didn't care so much, as soon as it gave an order, all the jade dragons rushed forward, and these white dragons fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

During their fight, Lynn noticed that the white dragons did not seem to be as strong as the usual white dragons, and although they were still tall, they didn't seem to be able to match the Emerald dragons in terms of strength.

Lin speculated that it was a very different kind of white dragon, and after they were killed, the bodies were buried by the Emerald Dragons, and then the Emerald Dragons returned to the house as if nothing had happened......

But this is already very informative for Lynn.

The splitting brain that the white skeleton dragons took out earlier fell to the ground, but fortunately it was not trampled on in the fight just now, so Lin picked up the splitting brain and placed it on the head of Black Pepper.

The black pepper doesn't seem to be fine, but the split brain reacts to the black pepper and it starts to produce stronger signals.

Maybe the White Skeleton Dragon relied on this signal to find Black Pepper...... For now, Lynn can only speculate that they may be the kind of white skeleton dragon that she has seen before that has been affected by the split-brain and has started to build strange structures.

Could they have been, if they have been affected, they will behave even more strangely? It does seem to be a possibility.

Either way, Lynn had already gotten the clues, and Lynn found that the strong signals emitted by the split brain would travel in one direction......

And that direction should be...... The 'city' of the scorpion. (To be continued......)
