Chapter 217: The Defender
This is a world in the water, with seaweeds, stone houses, white figures and schools of fish swimming between this wonderful underwater city.
Although there are no roads in the city, the arrangement of each house is still neat, and in addition to the ordinary houses where the white dragons live, there are some very special buildings, such as the spy underneath, there is a circular pillar with a statue standing on it.
The statue is of a white dragon holding a spear with three points, wearing strangely shaped armor, and the inscription on the pedestal below: 'May the soul of our great King of Yaras remain here to protect the peace of the Sea City forever in memory of the great service of our great King of Aras in his war against the Sea Devils.' ’
In fact, there is this statue everywhere, the so-called 'King of Aras', Lynn has seen the story of it in the library, mainly saying that it has a wonderful weapon that can summon lightning and make the waves roll when used, and it used this weapon to defeat a monster from the sea and save the city of the White Dragon......
The White Dragons do like to do this kind of thing, but they mainly like to think of imaginary objects of worship as exactly like themselves, rather than in various forms like the Emerald Dragon, which is quite special.
Maybe there are more dangers in the sea, so they erect these statues everywhere to protect the safety of their surroundings, but they also understand that such statues have no practical use, so there are still many soldiers here.
However, it is not easy to rely on the guards alone, as danger can come from all over the place, and the White Skeleton Dragon prefers to keep a creature to protect them.
Now, the Spy just happened to swim past an 'undersea farm' where the creature was raised.
This place, called the farm, looks like a large stone cage. There are many creatures called 'puff shrimp' in the cage......
At the same time, the puff shell shrimp is also a creature that makes the bubbles needed by the white squirt. The Spy swims above the cage. Some bubbles can be seen sticking to the ground, and they are filled with oval-shaped eggs.
At this moment, a white dragon opened the door of the cage, and this white dragon held a ball of seaweed in his hand, and it touched the seaweed to these bubbles, and the bubbles immediately stuck to the seaweed.
At this point, it gets the eggs out of the bubble and stuffs them into other nearby bubbles, and finally it empties all the bubbles stuck to the seaweed and leaves.
This bubble is used to replenish the air in the house. The shell of the bubble is encased in a large amount of sticky substance, and it is filled with oxygen, and the bubble shrimp generally use this bubble to put their eggs.
They behave in a strange way, as most terrestrial arthropods return to the water to lay eggs, while bubble shrimp have to keep their eggs in the air, presumably to prevent some marine parasites.
However, their behavior was discovered and used by the White Skeleton Dragon, which created an underwater house, and the sticky substance of the bubble shrimp is very stable, and the bubbles will not burst as long as they are not used too hard.
At the same time, the puff shell shrimp is also a large creature with a body size of about three meters. Lin felt that they came from creatures like the Brondo Scorpions, and that they wouldn't attack the White Dragon. I don't know why, but the White Skeleton Dragon can't command them, but as long as they are released, they will move around the White Dragon's houses and cities, and they will automatically protect the safety of the White Skeleton Dragon's city, these shrimp are quite hostile to other more dangerous sea creatures.
As a result, puff shell shrimp can be seen swaying all over the sea city, and the white dragon will drive some of the breeding shrimp to the 'farm' in order to collect the bubbles.
Presumably, the establishment of the city in the sea has a considerable connection with these shrimps, and the main reason why the White Skeleton Dragon wants to live in the water should be related to the plague fungus, the White Skeleton Dragon accidentally discovered that the fungus is afraid of the sea, so they become quite fond of water.
They must have been in the water for a long time, and Lynn was now more than a hundred meters above the surface, but they could still move freely at this depth, presumably their lungs could withstand some pressure.
The castle that Lynn was going to was deeper.
It towers over a sea trench, and the castle is almost exactly the same as a city on land, a square castle, but slightly smaller, about fifty meters high, and about three hundred meters wide......
It's hard to imagine how long it took the White Skeleton Dragon to build this huge castle underwater.
And how is it made? There shouldn't be a way to glue stones in the water, but it's easier to build smaller buildings by stacking them on top of each other, or slowly building them with a large stone, but how do giant castles come to be?
The Spy had now reached the castle, and the Spy slowly landed in front of the gate, where there were no houses around, only a large pile of rubble and various marine plants.
There were many glowing fish swimming around the Spy, as if they were very curious about the Spy, and Lynn was very curious about the castle......
Its gates were small, a little over two meters, and they didn't have the kind of large gates on land, but they were small but numerous, and a large number of small gates lined the bottom of the castle walls, which made it a little unclear which gate to enter.
Or are these doors connected?
Lynn approached a door and reached for a stone door overgrown with tiny algae...... It's not just an ordinary stone, it's ...... Chitin? It's chitinous coral!
Lynn was suddenly a little surprised, not only the gate, but also the surrounding walls, and possibly the entire castle were made of coral chitin......
Could it be that there was originally a huge coral here, and then the Emerald Dragon turned it into a castle? However, it is unlikely that such a large castle would be stacked with scattered coral bones.
However, there are no corals in the vicinity, and why do corals grow so large at the edge of the trench?
Isn't that a good feeling that there are more questions than information, but in any case, this coral must have died a long time ago, and the White Skeleton Dragon just took advantage of its skeleton......
......Just as Lin was thinking, the spy suddenly heard a muffled voice...... When this voice sounded, the glowing fish around them instantly escaped.
It felt like some kind of dangerous creature was about to appear......
Lynn looked up, in the direction of the sound, and saw a giant creature lying on top of the wall, its eyes fixed on the spy.
Lynn found the creature to be somewhat crocodile-like, but more elongated, somewhat resembling a new type of reptilian 'snake', but it also had thick limbs with huge claws, and its head somewhat resembled that of a large carnivorous dinosaur, with a flatter tail.
This creature is well suited for swimming in water, and it is quite large, about 25 meters long, and is a giant marine carnivorous creature.
Moreover, it looked like a reptile, and in addition to crocodiles, it was the first time that Lynn had seen a giant reptile in the sea.
However, this creature seems to have a great hostility towards the Spy, its eyes are firmly fixed on the Spy, this is not a normal hunting desire, ordinary creatures hunt will hide this desire, but it does not hesitate to release, as if it simply wants to kill the Spy......
Why? Does the spy have some kind of hatred for it? Apparently it can't be, and the Spy is too small for it to want to eat the Spy......
'Goo! ’
Suddenly, the creature opened its mouth, and a huge amount of bubbles erupted from its mouth, and the Spy felt a wave of heat rush towards him...... Is it hot?
The Spy kicked the ground, then turned and swam backwards, dodging the large bubble.
At this moment, the creature rushed towards it, and Lynn noticed that it swam like a normal fish, swinging from side to side, but very fast, and the huge body rushed from the top of the castle to the ground in an instant, and the strong impact stirred up a large cloud of dust on the seabed.
Unaffected by the dust, the creature quickly spotted the spy hiding in the dust and rushed towards it.
It seemed to have some sort of detecting ability, perhaps by smell or something, but Lynn believed that the creature had no ability to breathe in water, and that it needed to breathe on the surface.
The Spy swam quickly towards the heights, and the creature followed, the Spy was very fast in the water, not comparable to the average White Dragon, but the creature was approaching at a faster speed, but just as it was about to make contact with the Spy, it suddenly turned and swam back, and then lay on the top of the castle.
This seems strange......
Thinking about this, Lynn let the spy swim a little closer, and the creature suddenly raised its head and looked at the spy with hostility, and the spy swam away, and it fell back on its stomach......
It feels like you're guarding this castle, and it's really interesting, but does it have anything to do with the 'Aquaman' inside? Or is it just a place to go? It's no wonder that there are no White Dragon's houses around, but how can other White Dragons enter the castle in this case?
Either way, it would be easy for Lynn to get in, and the Spy only needed to change color to get close to the castle.
The creature was able to find the Spy in the mud, but was completely unresponsive to the approach of the discolored Spy, who pushed a door under the castle and walked into the castle. (To be continued......)
