Chapter 205: Among the Ashes

"Ga ......"

On the edge of the scorched city, shrouded in smoke, there is a small pyramid, and on the side of this pyramid, a white figure lies.

Lin You had been observing its escape route, but she didn't expect that this snail king could survive under that kind of flame.

It had some burn marks all over its body, but it was fine, and its fate may have been good, as the white dragon found a relatively safe way to escape the city amid the raging fires.

It itself couldn't believe it had escaped, and then it rested under the walls of the pyramid.

However, when the flames burned out and the day came, it had not left here, why?

This white dragon is not injured and cannot escape, nor is it the cause of hunger and thirst, but ...... It was still thinking about the crystallization in the city, and now it was looking into the scorched city from time to time, as if it wanted to go in......

I like this crystallization to this point, I can say that I am 'crazy', which is a good word.

However, this white skeleton dragon is indeed not crazy, it purely wants that crystal with its own consciousness, even if it has experienced so much!

So, Lynn decided to name it 'Crystal Mania'.

In fact, the pronunciation is very similar to the original name of the white dragon, and when they came before, Lynn had heard its companions call it by its name.

Perhaps it is this personality that causes it to be selfish, and in fact Lynn has seen a lot of selfish species, such as a shark that kills all of its own species that hatch at the same time. Only the strongest cubs will survive.

But at the end of the day, sharks are solitary creatures. In a situation where a large group can be maintained. These dragons are the only ones who can be so selfish......

Driven by the temptation, the 'Crystal Maniac' walked into the city again, and in fact it was indeed a good time, because the scorpion was probably burned to death, and it would not be detected even if it dragged a crystal of this size out slowly.

However, Crystal Maniac also needs to worry about the situation in the air.

Susumi's three wurm knights wandered the sky, and they had been observing the situation in the city of Scorpions, where almost all of the pyramids had been completely sealed off. You can't see what's going on inside from the outside.

Are the scorpions really dead? This is a matter that Susumi is quite concerned about, and the Emerald Dragon's army is now unable to attack because they still have to take care of the wounded, so Susumi very much hopes that this flame sneak attack will win.

Crystal frantically lay in the scorched grass, it smeared its whole body with ashes, making it change from a white skeleton dragon to a black skeleton dragon, in order to avoid the eyes of the wurm knight in the air, every time a wurm flew by, it immediately remained motionless, and used its 'protective color' quite well.

Soon it was again approaching the huge pyramid, at the entrance. It found the crystal.

The crystal had been kicked into the fire by the black pepper before, but it burned all night without any damage. When the Crystal Maniac saw it, he rushed up and hugged the Crystal like crazy, and then kept touching it.

After confirming that there was no problem, Crystal Maniac covered the crystal with ashes, and Lin found that it still had a 'pity' feeling when it covered the ashes, but it was quickly resolved.

It seems that the crystal maniac likes the beauty of this crystal? It once again dragged the crystal with great difficulty, dodging the wurms in the air as it walked out of the city......

What a strange creature to have such perseverance and yet to the point of selfishness......

Time flowed slowly, and as it approached midday, Crystal Maniac finally dragged Crystal away from the city, and it chose the nearest path, but it still took so long to leave.

But how far does it have to go? Dragging such large crystals through the vast wilderness and jungle to the sea? I also know that this is impossible.

However, it was at least able to rest for a while now, and Crystal Maniac was glad that he was able to leave the city at this time, because a group of Emerald Dragons had come to the edge of the city.

They were a search team formed by Susumi, a total of three hundred Emerald Dragons, led by a new commander, who came to observe the state of the Scorpion, and Black Pepper was also in this team.

While the crystal was dragging the crystals slowly, Lin could also observe them with this group of jade dragons...... What happened to the scorpions? Because Lynn didn't place her eyeballs inside the small pyramid, she doesn't know the situation yet.

The Emerald Dragons walked into the scorched Scorpion City, and each Emerald Dragon looked very nervous, even though they had heard the report from the Wurm Knight that there were no Scorpions here, they were still afraid that a Scorpion would jump out and attack them.

Lynn's spies also changed color and infiltrated the troops, following them on their quest.

Although the Emerald Dragons were also very concerned about the crystals covering the pyramids, they were all mission-oriented, and none of them would try to knock them down first......

At the forefront, the emerald dragons carried a few electric gnomes, and the smell of burning around them did not affect their sense of smell, they sniffed east and west, and suddenly these gnomes gathered in front of a pyramid on the side of the road.

"Stop!" The commander shouted: "This is suspicious, open it and take a look!" ”

"Yes!" Several emerald dragons stepped forward, and they knew that the scorpion had temporarily sealed the entrance to the pyramid with dirt, so they tried to knock on the wall a few times, and when they found a vulnerable spot, they immediately picked up their spears and stabbed them.

Suddenly, the earth blocking the entrance was pierced open by the group of jade dragons, and Lin immediately followed them into the pyramid.

Inside this pyramid...... There was nothing, it was completely empty, only a few broken eggshells.

This made the jade dragons suddenly look frightened, and the scorpion was not dead! They're still alive.

The two sides have fought so far, the jade dragons have become familiar with the tricks of the standing scorpion, although it looks like this place is empty, but it is obvious that the standing scorpion has hidden somewhere, and then the exit is blocked, and the jade dragons knock around on the ground, trying to find the place where the standing scorpion is hiding.

Soon, the Emerald Dragons found a spot on the ground, and after stabbing it with their spears, Lynn saw that it was a hole, and there was something very strange in the pit, which looked like an egg half the height of the Emerald Dragon with a purple shell.

There were five eggs piled up in the hole, and the Emerald Dragons were surprised by this, so they dragged the eggs out and let the commander decide what to do with them.

"What the hell is this?" The Commander kicked the egg on the ground in confusion, and then it poked hard with its spear!

The egg was poked out of a hole in an instant, and a large amount of slimy liquid flowed out of it.

Seeing this, the commander said, "Break it and see." "At the commander's command, the Emerald Dragons smashed the egg completely, leaving it with nothing but a large pile of liquid.

"What the hell is this...... the commander looked at the liquid for a long time, and then said: "Take one and report to the king!" ”

"Yes!" A few jade dragons picked up an egg and ran in the direction of the outside of the city.

They then searched for a number of nearby pyramids, the contents of which were roughly divided into two types, some of which contained large eggs in their holes, and most of which contained suffocating scorpions.

When the Emerald Dragon spotted the scorpions, they were very happy, and Susumi's tactics worked, successfully killing quite a few of them.

In this battle, victory should be theirs!

Later, the army inspected almost every pyramid in the entire city of Scorpions, and all of the pyramids were in the above two cases, and there was no third case - that is, the Emerald Dragon did not find any living scorpions.

It was a strange question, but without the Emerald Dragons careless, the Commander knew that they had managed to take out more than 50% of the Scorpions in this battle, and that the rest were inexplicably gone, leaving only a bunch of eggs.

The commander returned to the Emerald Dragon's camp with some of the eggs and made a detailed report to Susumi.

When Susumi heard the news, it didn't believe it at first, but it only found out after it took a group of troops to check it out himself......

The battle is over!

The Emerald Dragon has won! The news quickly spread among the troops, and each Emerald Dragon cheered about the victory they had won, and the abundance of crystals that would soon be obtained!

And the White Skeleton Dragon Crystal Maniac had already dragged the crystal with the main brain out of the city a few hundred meters away from the city at this time, which was still quite far away from its goal......

Lynn reckoned that it would soon die after entering the jungle, so she had to search for the island herself.

The Emerald Dragons are now doing some repairs, and Susumi has sent a wurm knight back to the city to report the victory, but Susumi has not yet decided to have more Emerald Dragons collect the crystals here.

Although there were some jade dragons who wanted to go and get some crystals now, they didn't move casually without Susumi's order.

At present, Susumi is still concerned about curing the wounded of the entire army first, because the whole team is injured and lives near the rotting swamp, many of the emerald dragons are infected with some diseases, although it is not a big problem, but it will temporarily lead them to be weaker.

After Susumi's troops stayed here for more than a dozen days and nights, they had almost healed the wounded and the problem of infection was almost solved, and then Susumi began to decide to contact the city and send out troops to collect crystals.

The Scorpion did not make any movement during this period, and it seemed that it had completely proved Susumi's victory.

But Susumi did ignore one problem......

Those eggs. (To be continued......)
