Chapter 284: The Fog in the Night
The jungle of the night, the feeling, the special silence...... The only thing that echoed in the air was the cry of the nocturnal pterosaur...... The noisy wars and earthquakes of the day have long since ceased...... It seems that all the qiē has fallen into a deep sleep.
There were only clouds of gray smoke, slowly spreading through the jungle with the light breeze of the night...... Diffusion......
The White Dragon, the Emerald Dragon, and the Skeleton Dragon, they are located on the edge of the jungle in the west, east, and south, and these dragons are enjoying the tranquility of this moment without war.
As the clock ticked into the night, they all fell into a deep slumber except for a few dragons who were healing the wounded, piecing together weapons and guarding.
Each dragon seized the opportunity to rest, because during the day, they did not know what new wars they would face, but what they did not expect was that wars sometimes broke out in the night......
'Squeak...... Quack...... 'A white-skeleton dragon handyman with a ballista patchwork sat under a tree and tried to rest, but it saw that the branches above its head were always dangling and creaking, and it was difficult for it to rest.
"What's the matter with this tree?" The white dragon stood up, and it looked at the branches suspiciously, and saw that the branches seemed to be shaking in a strange way, not like the wind blowing, but like ...... The tree moves on its own.
"Moving? How could it be gack! The white skeleton dragon went up and kicked the trunk of the tree with his foot, saying, "Be quiet! ”
Although there are quite a few plants on the continent that can move on their own, trees are usually immobile, and even the White Skeleton Dragon, who has been on the island for a long time, knows this.
"Goo...... Ga ...... "The tree that had been kicked suddenly behaved strangely, the whole trunk was shaking, and a large amount of bark was falling off its body. And on top there are two longer branches. It was bent like an arm. And it was aimed at the white dragon in front of it.
"Quack!" When the white skeleton dragon handyman saw this scene, he immediately screamed in fright, and he hurriedly ran away, shouting as he escaped: "Ga! There are monsters! The trees are moving! ”
Many of the sleeping dragons were woken up by it, and they came out of their tents one after another, and several soldiers shouted at the handyman, "What is your name?" Is there an enemy attack? ”
"Not really!" The handyman ran up to the soldier and said, "Tree! The trees are moving! It's pointing at me! ”
"Quack? The tree moves, how is this possible! One soldier was clearly not convinced, while the other said, "Where did you see that?" Take us to see it! That maybe...... It's the manifestation of the spirit of wood! ”
"Wood Spirit?" When the surrounding white dragons heard this, they immediately gathered around and said, "It's indeed possible! Take us to see it! ”
"Gaga...... Wood Spirit? The handyman didn't seem so scared when he heard it: "Right there, just ...... just now"
said. It brought the white dragons to the tree from before, only to see that the bark of the tree was almost gone, and it was still shaking, and each branch was swinging in a different direction, which was obviously not caused by the wind......
"It's the Spirit of Wood!" "The Spirit of Wood has manifested here!" "So, the Wood Spirit has already approved of us!"
Previously, the White Dragons had been afraid to cut wood, mainly because they were afraid of the wrath of the Wood Spirit, and they thought that if they were recognized, they would be able to cut some of them, so that it would be much easier for them to make weapons. Of course, they don't know in what form the Wood Spirit will approve of them, which is usually what the prophet says will approve of. But now that there are no prophets, they will think that the tree is a 'wood spirit'......
The white dragons here were all very excited, and one of them even ran under the trees and said, "We have been recognized now!" Already ......"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the tree's branches bent downward, sending the white dragon flying like a slap, crashing into another tree.
All the White Dragons were stunned when they looked at this, they didn't seem to understand what was going on, why the 'Wood Spirit' was hitting them?
The squeaky ...... tree was still shaking, as if it had pulled itself out of the ground and moved.
'Goo......' Just when the white dragons didn't know what to do, another voice suddenly sounded in the jungle, as if it was made by some behemoth.
"Gah! The ...... "As the sound approached, a figure more than three meters tall walked out of the forest, however, this is not a common dinosaur, but a tree crawling on the ground, it has no skin on its body, its roots seem to have been broken, only a small section remains, but it still wriggles these roots, and supports its body with branches that bend down at abnormal angles, and slowly advances.
"This ...... Is it the Spirit of Wood? "When the White Skeleton Dragons saw this, they couldn't help but take a few steps back, there were more such moving trees, there were more similar 'trees' coming out of the jungle, although they had no eyes, they all seemed to be staring at the White Skeleton Dragon.
And it's not just here.
In the jungle to the east, the Emerald Dragons fought here when they attacked the Scorpion, and there is a large swamp in the jungle here, although it is full of monsters, but if you don't get close, you won't encounter any danger.
But that is not the case tonight......
"Quack!" A scream rang out at the edge of the jungle, and many emerald dragons, torches in their hands, ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from.
"What the hell is going on...... What is this? "In the light of the fire, a huge 'flower' with a diameter of more than two meters stood tall, its petals were covered with sharp barbs, with which it hooked an emerald dragon in the center of the flower, and was constantly sucking its flesh.
"That's ...... 'Hook tooth flower' in the swamp! One of the emerald dragons recognized the flower and said, "But this flower shouldn't be so far from the swamp!" ”
"Don't worry about that! Burn it! At the commander's command, the Emerald Dragons immediately picked up their torches and rushed towards the flower.
At the same time, in the jungle to the south.
Instead of sleeping, Tucker sat on a large rock and watched the stars in the night sky.
Liddell and a few other dragons had been with him, but now they were all asleep, and now there were only a few gnomes with Tucker, who were slapping each other's skulls.
“…… The time is approaching. Tucker looked at the starry sky and whispered to himself.
"Wow, oh!" Suddenly, the gnomes climbed onto the stone where Tucker was sitting and pulled his hand hard.
"What happened?" As soon as Tucker said this, the stone beneath him shook for a moment, and several glowing blue roots protruded from below. (To be continued......)
