4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2146
"... this place feels a bit ..."
A cub of emerald dragons and three skeleton dragons is walking under a ... big tree.
The trunk of this tree is ten meters in diameter, and there is a large hole in the tree where strange sounds are constantly echoing.
"Are we really going in?" Master Blood Mist looked at the tree hole, and the dark paint inside could not see clearly ... which made it a little unwilling to go in.
"Don't worry, the elders are still very gentle." After speaking, Miaolong cubs shouted at the tree hole: "Elder! Are we here? We are here!"
"Guru ..." There was a sudden sound in the tree hole. I saw a small creature in the hole of the tree hole.
"It's ... elders?" Blood Mist thought that some kind of huge monster was living in this big tree, but now it was a creature with a height of thirty centimeters.
It looked like a scorpion without a tail, and the moment he saw it, the blood mist ... heard its sound.
"You brought a green dragon this time." The creature called the elder said, "Do you want to know any stories about this green dragon?"
This creature speaks the language of the Emerald Dragon, but its words are addressed to the skeletal dragon cubs.
"You ..." and Blood Mist questioned this creature a step ahead of the cubs: "What the hell are you?"
"I was first spotted by the green emerald dragon." The elder looked at the blood mist with the small, dark eyes on his head. "I am called the elder in the deep swamp, and I answer all the lost dragons. Their confusion ... Now, do you have any special questions? "
"..." Blood Mist wanted to say something, but he felt that she didn't know where to start, and a cub said at this time: "The elder knows a lot of things, and he has always been willing to answer our questions."
"Yes, so I am called the elder, and the things I know are long and old." The elder said: "But I also have my own real name ..."
"Real name?" Blood Mist questioned: "What is that ...?"
"My name is Montemoque, one of the leaders of a powerful biological race ..." When the elder said this paragraph, he seemed to have a "sad" emotion: "My" mother "made me , Expect me to lead my entire population. "
"Moreover, my mother ... told me that it had an" enemy "to chase even after spending all its life, so I led the general group, but ... but found that I did not have the ability to control the population."
"I rescued my mother, but I couldn't reach it. It didn't know where to go ... It seemed to go to a distant place to track the enemy."
"I can only come to this place, hiding from the world, looking forward to finding my mother again at some point ..."
After speaking, the elder was very sad.
"Ga ... we know this will be all right." "Yes, you will definitely see your mother again." The cubs seem to have heard this story, and they all showed sympathy.
Although Blood Mist saw that the elders were indeed sad, but it was a little ... not quite aware of this sentimentality.
Mainly, what the elder said was wonderful to Blood Mist.
"So, what are you doing here?" The elder said sadly: "I know a lot of ancient history, such as when the green dragon was born, and when ..."
"Let's show you this!" Before the elder finished, a skeletal dragon cub put the crystallized egg in front of the elder.
"This!" The elder climbed up to the egg, knocked with his forelegs, and said: "I didn't expect you to find this kind of thing, but this thing ..."
"But what?" Miaolong cubs quickly asked.
The elder said, "It's just an ordinary egg." After he finished speaking, the elder turned and crawled back into the tree hole ...
"Gah?" Skeleton cubs and Blood Mist froze in place for a few seconds. After the reaction, they immediately picked up the egg and followed into the tree hole.
"This is not an ordinary egg! Elder, we found it in a very special place!" A cub yelled in the tree cave. The moment the sound fell, the dark cave suddenly burst. The sound rose.
The dragons here also saw the entire cave. There are various things piled around the tree cave, with biological bones, dry plants, and some strange-shaped objects, and there are some at the top of the cave. A glowing object.
The elder is in the center of the cave. It uses its forelimbs to hold something like a plant fruit and is eating slowly.
"Do you think that is unusual?" The elder's eating and vocalization do not seem to conflict. It can talk while eating fruits: "What do you think is unusual?"
"It's here!" The cub brought the egg to the elder and pointed to the crack on the egg: "Look, there are crystals inside!"
"It's really unusual ..." The elder threw away the fruit he was eating, and then stared carefully at the crack of the egg. "It seemed to be occupied by crystallized fungi, which transformed the environment inside. But the egg itself is ordinary. "
"Is it?" Said Miaolong cubs: "But we think that place is wonderful, so we brought this most peculiar thing ..."
Having said that, a few cubs introduced the situation of the underground crystallization lake to the elders. After hearing the elders said, "Does the crystallization phenomenon ... seem to be spreading recently? I decided to follow you there to see."
"Great! The elders are going with us!" The skeletal cubs cheered suddenly, and Blood Mist was watching there all the time, and said nothing.
It just feels that this elder is very strange, but it insists that it is strange that it can't say ...
"But this will not pass until the next day." The elder said: "Now you live here first."
"Why?" Blood Mist wondered: "Does the night here become dangerous?"
Blood Mist said and looked at the outside at the same time. It found that the sky outside had slowly darkened ...
"It will indeed be dangerous ..." said the elder: "This night is called 'Bone Night' and we must hide in a safe place until day."
"... Bone Night?"
When the sun slowly fell and the stars were all over the sky, Blood Mist knew why there was such a name ...
Through the light in the tree hole, the blood mist can see that all the skeletons in the swamp outside are moving. They are walking around staggeringly. This is much more than the group of skeletons chasing them before. They are densely packed. The sight covered with blood mist, but there is a special place, they will not be close to the tree where the elders live within 100 meters.
"Every time they will start a collective action ..." The elder said to the blood mist while watching a few skeletal dragon cubs that were asleep, "They will attack any creature nearby, but when approaching the daylight At that time, they will unfold and move ... they will spread out and find new places to live and grow. "
"You know them quite well ..." Blood Mist said: "Why can't they come?"
"This tree will secrete the pheromones they hate." The elder said: "So it is very safe here ... You should also take a rest early and wait for the day to do physical activity."
"I don't feel tired yet ..." Blood Mist kept looking at the shaking skeletons in the distance: "I still want to see them ..."
"Really, then I'll take a rest first." After the elder had finished speaking, he and the skeletal dragon cubs lay together, while the blood mist continued to keep awake, looking at the shaking skeletons in the distance.
Blood Mist always doesn't want to sleep because it feels like what will happen after falling asleep ... But as time goes by slowly, he feels that he might think too much.
Those skeleton seedlings are indeed as the elders said, no one is close to this place, and as the day approaches, the skeleton seedlings begin to spread out.
They did not walk back to the original pile of bones and lay back, but moved further away. It seems that this group of seedlings did find a new place to grow, and may not necessarily leave the swamp.
"Gahhhhhhhh !!!"
Blood Mist suddenly heard a burst of ... screaming.
In the distance, the originally dispersing seedlings gathered again, and Blood Mist noticed that they were gathering in a certain direction.
Blood Mist looked carefully in that direction, and it saw a ... dragon figure.
The dragon was covered in blood and seemed to be seriously injured. It was chased by a large group of skeleton seedlings, and its running speed was still able to keep it running faster than the seedlings.
"Isn't that the poacher?"
Although Blood Mist couldn't clearly see the dragon's face, it could see the equipment worn by the dragon and was holding a crossbow in his hand. This was one of the poachers he had seen before.
"Why is it here ... quack? It ... are they coming?"
Blood Mist was surprised to find that the poacher ran into the 100-meter range of the tree, and the skeleton seedlings also chased after him, completely unaffected.
"Wait a minute! Don't lead them here!" Blood Mist shouted quickly, but the poacher immediately ran faster when he saw the Blood Mist, but it seemed to fall off his foot because of the injury. Fall to the swamp.
Suddenly, a large number of seedlings surrounded it. They used a sharp part of the bone to cut its skin and flesh frantically. The blood of this poacher slowly spread on the wet moor ...
Most of the skeleton seedlings are eating greedily, but some attention is also paid to the blood mist ...
