Chapter 1141 Night of Bones

"...This place feels a bit..."

An emerald dragon and three skeleton dragon cubs were walking under a... big tree. ? E novel ? ?

The trunk of this tree is ten meters thick, and there is a large tree hole. In this tree hole, strange sounds are continuously echoing.

"Do we really want to go in?" Master Blood Mist looked at the tree hole. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly... which made him not want to go in.

"Don't worry, the elder is still very gentle." After the skeleton dragon cub finished speaking, he shouted to the tree hole: "Elder! Are you here? We are here!"

"Gulu..." A sound suddenly came from the tree hole, and a... very small creature emerged from the hole of the tree hole.

"It's...the elder?" Xue Wu thought that the person living in this big tree was some kind of huge monster, but now what appeared was a creature thirty centimeters tall.

It looked a bit like a scorpion without a tail. The moment he saw it, Xue Mist... heard the sound it made.

"This time you brought a green dragon." The creature called the elder said: "Do you want to know the story about this green dragon?"

The creature spoke the language of the emerald dragon, but its words were addressed to the young skeleton dragon.

"You..." The blood mist asked this creature one step ahead of the skeleton dragon cub: "What on earth are you...?"

"I was discovered by the green emerald dragon for the first time." The elder used the small and dark eyes on its head to look at the blood mist and said: "I am called the elder of the depths of the swamp. I answer all the lost dragons. Their confusion... Now, do you have any special questions?"

"..." Blood Mist wanted to say something, but it felt that it didn't know where to start. At this time, a cub said: "The elder knows a lot of things. It has always been willing to answer our questions."

"That's right, that's why I'm called elder. I know a lot of things." The elder said, "But I also have my own real name..."

"Real name?" Xue Wu asked: "That is... what?"

"My name is Montemok, and I am one of the leaders of a powerful biological race." When the elder said this, he seemed to have a 'sad' emotion: "My 'mother' created me .

Expect me to lead my entire species. "

"Moreover, my mother... told me that it had an 'old enemy' that it would spend all its life chasing, so she gave me the leadership of the entire group. But... it turned out that I don't have the ability to control the population."

"I asked my mother for help, but I couldn't contact it. I don't know where it went... It seemed that it had gone to a very far away place to track down its old enemy."

"I can only come to this place and live in seclusion, hoping to find my mother again at some point..."

After saying that. The elder looked very sad.

"Gah... we know this will get better." "Yes, you will definitely be able to see your mother again." All the skeleton dragon cubs seemed to have heard this story, and they all showed sympathy.

Although Xue Mist could see that the elder was indeed sad, it was a little... not quite understanding this sadness.

Mainly because what this elder said was very strange to Xue Wu.

"So, what are you here for?" The elder put away his sadness and said: "I know a lot of history from ancient times, such as when the green dragon was born, and when..."

"Let's show you this!" Before the elder could finish speaking, a young skeleton dragon placed the crystallized egg in front of the elder.

"This!" The elder crawled to the side of the egg, knocked it with his forelegs and said, "I didn't expect you to find such a thing. This thing is..."

"But what?" The skeleton dragon cub asked quickly.

The elder said: "It's just an ordinary egg." After finishing speaking. The elder turned around and climbed back into the tree hole...

"Gah?" The skeleton dragon cub and Xue Wu were stunned for a few seconds. After reacting, they immediately picked up the egg and followed it into the tree hole.

"This is no ordinary egg! Elder, we found it in a very special place!" A cub yelled in the tree hole. The moment his voice fell, the entire dark cave suddenly 'popped' The sound lit up.

The dragons here also saw the scenery of the entire cave. There were various things piled up everywhere in the tree cave, including bones of living things, dry plants, and some strange-shaped objects. On the top of the cave, there were A light object.

The elder is in the center of the cave. It is holding something like a plant fruit between its forelimbs and is eating it slowly.

"Do you think that is unusual?" The elder's eating harmony seems to have no conflict. It can talk while eating the fruit: "What do you think is unusual?"

"This is it!" The cub brought the egg to the elder, pointed at the cracks on the egg and said, "Look. It's full of crystals inside!"

"This is really extraordinary..." The elder threw aside the fruit he was eating, and then stared at the cracks in the egg carefully and said, "It seems to be occupied by crystallized fungi, and they have transformed the environment inside. But the egg itself is ordinary."

"Really?" said the skeleton dragon cub: "But we thought that place was very strange, so we brought this most peculiar thing here..."

With that said, several cubs introduced the situation in the underground crystal lake to the elders. After hearing this, the elder said: "Is the crystallization phenomenon... it seems to be spreading recently? I decided to follow you there to have a look."

"That's great! The elder wants to go with us!" The skeleton dragon cubs cheered immediately, and Xue Mist kept watching there without saying anything.

It just felt that this elder was very strange, but it couldn't tell what was strange...

"But this will not pass until next day." The elder said, "You can live here for now."

"Why?" Xue Wu asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the dark night here becomes very dangerous?"

Xue Wu said and looked outside at the same time. He found that the sky outside had slowly darkened...

"It will indeed be dangerous..." the elder said: "This night is called the 'Night of Bones'. We must hide in a safe place until daylight."

"...Night of Bones?"

When the sun slowly sets and the stars fill the sky, Xue Mist realizes why it is called such a...

Through the light in the tree hole, Xue Mist could see that all the skeletons in the swamp outside were moving. They were staggering around. There were many more skeletons than the group of skeletons that chased them before. They were densely packed. The sight is covered with blood mist, but there is a special place. They will not come within a hundred meters of the tree where the elder lives.

"They will start collective actions at a certain time..." The elder said to the blood mist while looking at several sleeping skeleton dragon cubs: "They will attack any nearby creatures, but when it is close to daylight, When the time comes, they will start to move... they will disperse en masse, looking for new places to live and grow."

"You know them quite well..." Xue Wu said, "Why don't they come over?"

"This tree secretes pheromones that they hate." The elder said: "So it is very safe here... You should also rest early and wait until daylight so that you can have physical activity."

"I don't feel tired yet..." Xue Wu kept looking at the group of shaking skeletons in the distance and said, "I still want to see them..."

"Really? Then I'll rest first." After the elder finished speaking, he lay down with the skeleton dragon cubs, while the blood mist continued to stay awake, looking at the shaking skeletons in the distance.

Xue Wu always felt that he didn't want to sleep because he felt that something would happen if he went to sleep... But as time passed slowly, he felt that he might be thinking too much.

Those skeleton seedlings were indeed what the elders said, none of them were close to this place, and as the day approached, the skeleton seedlings began to disperse.

They did not go back to the original pile of bones and lie down, but moved farther away. It seemed that these seedlings were indeed looking for a new place to grow, and maybe they would leave the swamp.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Xue Wu suddenly heard a burst of... screams.

The seedlings that were scattering in the distance gathered again, and Xue Mist noticed that they were gathering in a certain direction.

Xue Wu looked in that direction carefully, and saw a figure... of a dragon.

The dragon was covered in blood and seemed to have been seriously injured. It was being chased by a large group of skeleton seedlings, but its running speed could barely keep it from running faster than the seedlings.

"Isn't that the poacher?"

Although the blood mist couldn't see the dragon's face clearly, it could see the equipment the dragon was wearing and holding a crossbow in its hand. This was one of the poachers it had seen before.

"Why is it here...Gah? It...they are coming?"

Xue Mist was surprised to find that the poacher ran within a hundred meters of the tree, and the skeleton seedlings also chased after him, seemingly unaffected at all.

"Wait a minute! Don't lure them here!" Xue Wu saw this and shouted quickly, but the poacher immediately ran faster when he saw Xue Wu, but it seemed to be too injured and fell down. Fell on the swamp ground.

Suddenly a large number of seedlings surrounded it. They used the sharp parts of the bones to cut open its skin and flesh crazily. The poacher's blood slowly spread on the wet swamp...

Most of those skeleton seedlings were eating greedily, but some of them also paid attention to the blood mist... (To be continued.)
