Bab 299: Chapter 298
"Tch …" The white dragon's sharp claws sank deep into Tucker's wound. Then, it stopped breathing and stopped moving.
Was it planning to hold Tucker back until the moment of its death?
If that was the case … the collapse of the cave might have something to do with the skeleton dragon … Could it be … that they deliberately lured Tucker here to destroy the cave?
This tactic was relatively common. It also meant that the skeleton dragon had to die. But how did they know that Tucker would choose this direction? Perhaps the skeleton dragon had some habits that Lin didn't know about? For example, a certain smell or something that made Tucker choose this direction.
Now the walls of the cave were shaking more and more violently. A large number of stones fell from the ceiling. Tucker forcefully pried the skeleton dragon's claws away and ran toward the exit of the collapsed cave.
Lin flew behind Tucker. She suddenly noticed that the tremors were all around them and moved with Tucker. Not the whole cave was shaking. If that was the case … the tremors were caused by a creature!
Boom! A loud noise came from the ceiling. A large number of stones suddenly fell from the ceiling. A blue light shone from the cracks in the ceiling.
Were those … tree roots? Yes, they were the tree roots of the tree they saw earlier. And they were wriggling …
It seemed that they were the cause of the tremors in the cave. The surrounding caves were also collapsing with the explosion. In front of Lin and Tucker, a large number of tree roots stretched out from the cave walls, completely blocking the way.
Lin had seen quite a few plants with a mobile structure, but because they didn't have a brain, their reactions were almost always fixed and monotonous. The same was true for all kinds of trap plants, it would take a very long time to change them. But this tree seemed to be very mobile, even though it was still much slower than animals.
The reason it attacked this place was simple. This kind of tree lived underground. If it didn't eat meat, what else could it eat?
Tucker saw the tree roots blocking the way ahead. Almost without hesitation, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it. The stone hit the tree roots and bounced back immediately. It seemed to be very soft.
Looking back now, the skeleton dragon's body was surrounded by a large number of tree roots. They were like tentacles wrapping around the skeleton dragon's body.
Lin realized that the tree roots could only detect food after contact. After a tree root touched something, it would slowly move. Everything around him would slowly move past him. Since that was the case …
The pterosaur flapped its wings and crashed into the tree roots in front of it. The tree roots immediately surrounded the pterosaur, and the concentrated tree roots created a path on both sides.
"Ga!" Tucker shouted, as if he wanted to immediately rush up and pull the pterosaur out of the roots.
"Stop!" Lin's cry made Tucker stop. Then Lin continued, "Leave."
"Caw …" Tucker seemed to be very hesitant, and when Lin shouted again, "Leave!", he finally moved his legs again and ran out from the side …
Lynn could feel the intensity of Tucker's mood swings. They were so intense that they were evident in the structure of his face.
The pterosaur released a small flyer to follow Tucker and quickly caught up with the fleeing Tucker. Lin was still concerned about it. But with its intelligence, it would probably be fine.
Next, the pterosaur might have reached the end. The surrounding tree roots were constantly squeezing it. For ordinary creatures, this was extremely painful. The feeling of their bones and flesh being crushed together might cause their brain to faint due to the excessive amount of information.
The tree roots were wrapped in a high-hardness structure similar to the bark of ordinary plants, but overall, they were more like the muscular tentacles of ancient squid and ammonite creatures. But interestingly, these tentacles did not secrete any dissolving fluid. Instead, they were constantly squeezing with pure force. Moreover, the places they were squeezing were very uneven. This would cause some places to burst open. The flesh and blood inside sputtered out and sprinkled on the tree roots, slowly being absorbed through the small holes on the tree roots.
Lin now had a preliminary understanding of this tree. After the petrifying poison hardened creatures, these tree roots would follow.
Then, the tree roots would extend into the burst open wound and continue to absorb the flesh and blood inside.
This was a good opportunity. Lin prepared some very small spherical objects inside the pterosaur's body. The outer shell was composed of various dissolving fluid components. These small spherical objects were also sucked into the small holes on the tree roots along with the flesh and blood.
The small sphere was transparent. Through the light and the eyes of the soldiers that Lin placed inside, they could see that there was a structure that resembled a blood vessel inside. A large amount of absorbed matter was transported deep into the tube. The tube had a powerful absorption ability, and Lin felt that there was no need to hide anymore. The soldiers inside the shell began to crawl out of the shell. They all had sharp claws and looked like spiders. They stuck themselves to the walls of the tube and began to attack all the cells inside!
Some of the spherical objects did not crack. They continued to flow deeper into the pipe to observe the structure inside.
At the same time, Tucker also ran out of the collapsed cave and arrived in front of the previous fork.
The only area where the tree roots were squirming was inside the cave just now, but there was no movement next to the tree. This was very interesting. Tucker stared at another cave at the fork, as if he was hesitating. After dozens of seconds, Tucker decided to enter this cave.
This cave was filled with darkness. The flyers used their own small echo system to determine the surrounding environment, while Tucker relied entirely on his sense of smell.
Skeletal dragons did not like the dark, but they still had the ability to move in the dark.
Lin found that the structure of this cave was very similar to the previous one. The ground was covered with gravel and the cave walls were made of rocks. There were no traces or creatures around.
Tucker walked faster and faster. Lin felt a slight fear and nervousness in him. He seemed to want to kill the other skeletal dragon. Lin did not know what the relationship between them was, but he was so persistent that there must have been some problems in the past.
Tucker, who was moving faster and faster, even began to run. In the darkness, he accidentally kicked a stone and fell to the ground, but he quickly got up and continued to run. Lin found that there were several open spaces in front of him.
There were many fragments on the floor of this space. Because of the darkness, Lin didn't know what these fragments were, but they looked like … eggshells … and among these fragments, there was a complete … egg?
Tucker stopped when he stepped on these fragments. He seemed to be very curious about these shells, but he had to worry about something else.
The skeletal dragon … was right above Tucker! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Please read it at m..
