Chapter 8: Hunger and Cold
In the salt ground as white as snow, the huge body of the deep sand bus lay on the ground, blood flowing from its cracked carapace wounds, and a large number of standing scorpions were constantly pulling and biting these wounds......
The Deep Sand Bus was motionless, just lying there quietly, but because of its heavy carapace, the scorpion could not bite its body so easily......
"Goh?" Suddenly, a standing scorpion that was biting seemed to feel something, it looked up at the sky, at this time, the surrounding standing scorpions also made the same action, they hesitated for a moment, then spread their wings and flew into the air, and flew away without looking back......
Only the Deep Sand Bus remained in place, still motionless, as if it were dead, until thousands of seconds had passed.
......A cold wind blew around the body of the deep sand bus, and the salt and stone debris on the ground also danced with the whirlwind, and the sky, which was originally relatively bright, was now shrouded in darkness.
As the surrounding wind became more and more intense, a large amount of sand and gravel were blown into the sky, and the rolled up sand and gravel formed a 'salt dust explosion' raging on the earth, and its power even made the roots of the tree that created the zào stick out of the ground were creaking, and even the body of the more than ten tons of deep sand bus was shaking slightly......
But it still didn't move, and the deep sand bus was not dead, but there was some kind of special change going on in its body......
In the body, the deep sand bus put together the gel that sealed Monte II and the crystals of the Yate group, and contained it in a sac, which was filled with a large amount of dissolved liquid. It seems to want to dissolve them.
This creature ...... It's amazing. This was the first time Lynn had seen such a situation. Generally speaking, if a 'Montezuma' dies for some reason, a living Deep Sand Bus will produce a new 'Montezuma'.
If it hadn't died, the Deep Sand Bus would have tried to save the brain, but now it's doing this strange thing......
Monte II is not dead, and the creator of Zào may have had some purpose for 'sealing' Monte II in the first place, and in the beginning, it is possible that the brainwaves released by the Brain Monster had some effect on Monte II and his troops. So they behave abnormally.
Keep watching, and what interesting things might happen to them.
However, they had to survive the blizzard.
Now, there has been a strong storm on the mainland, and the salt land is also the affected place, in the strong wind and snow, the body of the deep sand bus has been slowly buried, the cold makes its wounds begin to freeze, but this has not affected the body activity of the deep sand bus.
Isolated from the bitter cold, Monte II continued to live in the deep sands and underwent a slow transformation......
What will it become. No one can know......
The scorpions, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much about the crystal, they had left the salt field before the wind and snow came. And flew into the distance.
Before that, some of the scorpions had flown away from the continent, and now it seemed that the group was planning to join them.
However, many creatures will not be able to escape this place, and the blizzard will sweep through many areas, and the creatures that are still alive on land will be hit hard again.
Especially for that island.
Now, the island of the White Skeleton Dragon has returned to its more normal form, and the White Skeleton Dragons have finally stopped shrinking in warm huts with the help of the new 'mud armor', but have come out to do things, but most of the food of the White Skeleton Dragons comes from the sea, because they don't want to go into the sea to swim, and the plants grown on the land cannot grow due to the cold, so the White Skeleton Dragons have entered a state of food shortage.
When the food they had stockpiled was almost exhausted, they began to plan to get the food and various supplies of the white skeleton dragons who had died from brain waves, but before that, Crystal Maniac had already had a large number of soldiers collect those things and distribute them to all the white skeleton dragons 'equally'.
But this 'average' apparently didn't please the white dragons, as they only got a small amount per dragon and only about 30% of the cubs.
So, the White Dragons formed a team and came to the castle.
Seeing a large number of white dragons coming, the guard picked up the weapon in his hand and said, "What are you trying to do here?" ”
"We need food, it is said that there is still a lot of stock in the castle, let us see the king, it will definitely not sit idly by!"
A few of the white dragons who seemed to be in charge of the team said to the guards guarding the entrance of the castle, Crystal Maniac is still a very 'wise' leader in their minds, after all, Jing Maniac did not run out to assign it himself, but let other captains complete it.
The guards shouted, "Go back!" This is a forbidden place, and you dragons can't come in! ”
One of the white dragons stood up and shouted, "Gah! How can you be without food? I saw a lot of food being taken back to the castle without being distributed! ”
"It's not about the food, you know? It's a forbidden place......"
"......" Jing Mad looked down from the window of the castle, only to see a few guards and those white dragons who came to ask for food, and both sides seemed to be about to fight.
After looking at it for a moment, it quickly ran out of the room.
"All the dragons, listen!" Just as the two sides were arguing, a small door next to the castle gate suddenly opened, and the figure of the crystal madness appeared there.
"It's the king!" "The king is coming!" At this time, all the dragons cheered.
"We don't have much food left, most of it was taken away by our army when they set foot on the land of the Creators, and now, there is only a very small amount of food left in the castle, not even enough for the guards here!" "So, we all have to rely on ourselves, now the plants are withering, so our food source can only be obtained from the sea!" ”
"Don't be afraid of the cold, I will raise an army, and they will go hunting with you in the sea next day and night!"
"Gah!" "I see!" "The king is amazing!"
There were no doubters in Crystal Maniac's words, and they all quickly dispersed, and Crystal Maniac quickly ran back to the castle.
"Maybe it should have been ...... That's right. Crystal Maniac muttered to itself as it ran, and suddenly it quickly ran out of the room and into the basement of the castle as if it had thought of something.
This is a place to store food, there are a lot of plant seeds in jars everywhere, most of the plants in the white bones dragon species can only be eaten by seeds, and the seeds are easy to preserve, most of the seeds kept in the castle are several kinds of seeds, in addition to some dried meat pieces and fish and other meat food, these things are piled up in multiple rooms in the basement, although it is not enough to feed the white bones of the entire city, but it is completely fine for the remaining white bones dragons to eat for more than a dozen days and nights.
This place is generally only a few guards who are responsible for carrying food, and because they are placed in multiple rooms, and a group of guards here are almost all from the Sea King's Castle now, and the few 'nobles' who are still alive in the castle have never been to this place at all, only Jing Maniac almost completely investigated the entire castle when he became king.
So it can be said that no dragon knows that there is so much food here except for the crystal madness......
It can distribute them, but ...... Crystal Maniac obviously didn't want to do this,
Looking at the reserves here, it then walked to the entrance and turned to the guards guarding it, "Have you ever entered a deeper room here?" ”
"Nope! King! The guard replied immediately.
"Very well, no one is allowed to enter deeper rooms except by my orders, you know?"
"Gah!"
With that, the Crystal Maniac left the place and continued back to its room in the castle.
It seems that it is not necessary for Crystal Maniac to hide a large amount of food, because it will definitely not be able to eat it on its own, but it is also because it wants to protect its own life, because the recent crisis does not know when it will end, and it needs to fully grasp everything that can keep it alive.
But......
"What's that?" When Jing Mad sat by the window and looked out, he suddenly found that the outside had been covered by darkness, and the wind was blowing on the ground, and the dry debris was rolling on the ground with the cold wind, and some of the older stone houses even began to shake.
The white dragons hurriedly hid in their houses, only to see endless white spots appear in the sky, and endless snowflakes rushed to the ground with the storm.
At this moment, the entire island was shrouded in darkness, and the violent wind and snow hit the earth, and all the qiē was overwhelmed by the snow white......
The Crystal Maniac just felt strange, the sturdy castle made it not feel dangerous, but the White Skeleton Dragon in the city was different.
The cold wind would penetrate through the cracks in the windows or walls, and as the wind became stronger, the roofs of some stone houses were even blown away by the strong winds, or the entire house was destroyed, and many white dragons screamed and ran out of their huts, and some of the white dragons' houses were fine, but they could hardly feel warm, so they all ran out against the heavy snow and gathered towards the ...... Castle.
"King!" In the castle, several guards were reporting to Crystal Maniac, "There are a lot of dragons gathered outside, and they want to take refuge in the castle!" ”
"I see ......" Crystal Maniac stood at the window and looked down, the windows of the castle were particularly reinforced, so it was not greatly affected, it looked at the many gathered white dragons, and Crystal Maniac's mind became a little angry.
But it quickly regained its composure, and it turned to the guards and said, "Let them in, but ...... Wait a while. (To be continued......)
