Chapter 240: The Underground Lurker
After the snow melts, the sea of trees and the spectacular white scenery have disappeared.
However, it has not returned to the same situation as it should have been after the winter of previous years.
One by one, one twisted forest after another stood in the otherwise "ordinary" sea of trees.
Meandering, forming a variety of crevices and convex convexities, leaving one shadow after another.
When the wind blows, there is a whining sound, as if to indicate that there is some enemy hiding in the forest.
And the forest area of these twisted trees is too large, and the giant trees that stand in the forest are obviously not easy to avoid danger by cutting down and bulldozing.
A group of dwarves –
The dwarven vanguard, numbering nearly three hundred, was observing the vast twisted forest from afar.
At a distance from them, a group of giant horned beasts were watching the scene.
Truth be told, as much as they still wanted to join the Mountain Kingdom, they had already put a lot of thought out after learning that the forces that now occupied the center of the sea of trees were dragons.
Even, it can be said that if they want to participate in this dwarf war against the dragon, they would rather give up.
However, they may not have much of a choice.
In the distance, in the direction of the Broken Crest Desert, one after another behemoths with dark scales landed on top of the giant trees, watching the enemies who tried to hide their bodies through the tall trees.
It was a feathered dragon.
These nest dragons, who can elementalize life force and inflict weakness and even fatal effects on the enemy, are waiting for the attack order from the nest dragon commander.
However, their rulers, with black bodies larger than them, were gazing at the sea of trees from the sky.
Its gaze seems to be able to directly observe the flow of the wind element, and it seems to be able to directly observe any area where there is an abnormal disturbance of the wind element.
And at the same time......
A large orb of slate-gray stone stood quietly in a hole beneath the ground.
Although the body was curled up, it was vaguely visible that it was a dragon-like creature covered with hard scales and a brownish-gray body like sand and rock.
At this moment, the vitality on its body seems to have completely shrunk into its body, and there is no sign of interaction with the outside world at all, quiet like a corpse, and like a lifeless stone corpse.
But......
Beside it, in a blood-red, jewel-like thing, a will fluctuated slightly along with the fluctuations of blood energy.
It was also at this moment that this stone-like nest dragon trembled slightly, and its body slowly stretched out.
A nest dragon with a slight shadow of its silhouette unfurled in the underground cavern dug out by the roots of the trees controlled by the Lepidoptera.
Physically, it may be because of the special tag [Sentinel], which can save energy and change the explosive state.
In the energy-saving or enhanced perception mode, it hides the astringent breath, reduces physical activity, and improves the evolutionary direction of perception, and the earth line believes that hard bones can improve its energy-saving mode in this state, and a mimic rock scale armor can also allow it to increase its integration into the underground environment, and like many abyssal dragons, it has a special scale armor like a scorpion.
The same type of suture receptor as the scorpion exists on the scale of its body.
The sound, especially the vibration, was a fairly obvious signal to the Yuanlong, to it:
"Your Majesty."
The nest dragon made a sound, and the long tail paws behind him swayed slightly, and several specialized scales made a slight abnormal sound on the rattlesnake-like tail paws.
The earth line examined it, the west wind abyss dragon.
To be precise, it should be Zephyr II.
Although the current Abyssal Dragons are led by the Dinosaurus "Balance", it is clear that there is a clear difference between the Dinosaurus and these lurkers who lurk underground, acting as scout guards and delivering fatal blows.
The leader of the Abyss Dragon, after recovering the bones of the West Wind Abyss Dragon, the Earth Walk also hatched it again.
However, it is clear that it has not inherited the memory of the first generation of Yuanlong ruling the "West Wind".
But that doesn't stop the Terrasians from establishing it as the leader of the Abyssal Dragons of the Underworld.
Earth's gaze fell on one of its forelimb paws.
Originally, because of the lung scorpion material, the west wind abyss dragon deliberately evolved the scorpion's pincers for it as an attempt.
But, obviously, the claws in the shape of pliers, are not suitable for the ground row.
Arthropods have many limbs, and there is nothing wrong with evolutionary pliers.
However, in the case of quadrupeds such as dinosaurs, the evolution of forelimb claws into pincers undoubtedly deprived them of the ability to support their feet for walking.
However, because of this experience, their claws have a relatively special structure-
Even though they have regained their regular forelimb claws like those of other nests, and exist in a four-legged stance, they ......
The edges of their forelimbs and claws resemble the forelimbs of a wyvern, or the winged hands of a beast.
But it was clear to the ground that this was not a flying structure.
Rather, it is a "shield" that can add some defense to one's body when curled up.
A hand shield, or an arm blade, perhaps.
It's just that this "hand shield", the front part of this arm blade, is a sharp thing like a triangle.
This is a special product that gradually iterates after the evolution of the pincer-like forelimb claws of the Yuanlong.
To use the example of a dragonman, it's like having the head of a spear tied to the back of their upper limb claws.
If the dragons suddenly emerge from the shadows, the tips of their forelimb claws, the thick spikes, can cause fierce punctures and lacerations.
Moreover, compared to other nesting dragons, the Abyssal Dragons also had quite long tail claws, just like Lepidopterans.
It can even be said that the posture of these abyssal dragons is the posture that evolved for the action of "pounce".
The "burst mode" after accumulating their strength, which is like the state of excitement after an unknown amount of stimulants, brings destructive power, and is undoubtedly a deadly threat to the enemies who emerge from the vicinity of these abyssal dragon ambush sites.
It's just that if it's the only one, it may be more difficult.
Compared to other nest dragons, the reason why this Abyssal Dragon Commander "Zephyr II" was able to reach a body size of ten meters was due to its longer tail compared to other nest dragon commanders.
But...... This does not mean that its true combat power cannot compete with the nest dragon of the same size.
At least, the blow that erupted from the Sentinel Mode switch is comparable.
ps: This group of abyssal dragons specialized underground, I really haven't thought of any good words.
There are also two "Shadow Abyss Dragon" and "Night Abyss Dragon", do you know how to choose a name, help you think of one?
Otherwise, I can only use one of these two, or which of these two names do you think is good, leave me a message.
