Chapter 276

The scorching sun in the desert was so dazzling … The scorching heat roasted the nerves of every living creature.

Especially this creature lying on the ground.

Fear, hunger, despair … Its mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and when these emotions were mixed together and raised to the extreme …

Slap!

It woke up …

The skeleton dragon looked at its own body in surprise, as if it thought it was already dead, so it was quite confused at first.

This creature's behavior was really strange. After discovering that it was still alive, the first thing it should do was not to be confused, but to confirm the danger. There were all kinds of terrifying creatures staring at it.

For example, a pterosaur covered in scales.

The Skeleton Dragon happened to see Lin's Pterosaur at the same time. It was startled by the sudden appearance of the Pterosaur. It rolled a few times on the ground and pulled out a sharp stone from its waist to point at Lin's Pterosaur. Its forelimbs were still trembling slightly.

Lin did not do anything, just looked at it.

After a while, the skeleton dragon put away the sharp stone. It might have thought that Lin's pterosaur was too small to be a threat, or it simply thought that the pterosaur did not have the intention to attack.

Many creatures could tell whether the other party had the intention to attack. This kind of awareness was shown in some subtle movements, such as breathing speed, heartbeat, changes in eyes, and so on. Many creatures learned to distinguish these small changes.

Speaking of eyes, Lin found that arthropods liked to use a structure called 'compound eyes' made up of a large number of small eyes, but vertebrates were different. These were just two major categories. Almost every creature's eyes were very different. However, only vertebrates could see something special like 'eyes'. This was because their eyeballs could move.

The eyes that Lin used were a bit different from the eyes of other species, but in general, the visual effect wasn't too different from that of a normal large creature. Furthermore, different types of soldiers used different eyes. Lin had recently learned the eyes of a new creature she had discovered in the sea. This creature's eyes were the most complex eyes Lin had ever seen, and it was called the 'Mantis Shrimp'.

Speaking of which, mantis shrimp was a creature that evolved from a cockroach, and was very common in this dinosaur continent. However, mantis shrimp had nothing to do with them.

Thinking of this, Lin found that the skeleton dragon had already run far away.

It was walking along the path between the canyons. When Lin saw it, she immediately ordered the pterosaur to follow it. The skeleton dragon was nervous when it saw the pterosaur, but after Lin followed it for a while, it relaxed again.

After walking up the canyon, Lin once again saw a wilderness. This wilderness seemed endless, but the environment was very rich. There were plants and large dinosaurs. There were strangely shaped boulders at the feet of the Skeleton Dragon. There were a large number of low plants.

As the Skeleton Dragon walked, it suddenly pulled out a sharp stone and crouched among the short grasses. It kept flipping the plants with its forelimbs as if it was searching for something.

Suddenly, Lin saw that the Skeleton Dragon seemed to have discovered something. It used a sharp stone to dig a sizable hole in the ground. Suddenly, a large number of tiny creatures rushed out of the hole it dug.

Lin's pterosaur stood beside the skeleton dragon and observed it. At first, these small creatures looked like insects, only a centimeter long, but upon closer inspection, they were different. They were covered in short hair and had long tails. They seemed to be a type of vertebrate.

These creatures rushed out and scattered everywhere. The Skeleton Dragon smashed them to death with rocks and licked the creatures that were smashed into paste.

Lin saw the opportunity and used the pterosaur's long mouth to bite a small creature that escaped, but she did not swallow it. Instead, she trapped it in her mouth.

This creature should have research value.

After eating a bunch of tiny creatures that were as good as nothing, the skeleton dragon continued to move deeper into the desert. Lin followed behind it, and the skeleton dragon seemed to have acknowledged Lin's pterosaur as well.

After walking for a while in the desert, Lin noticed that the Skeleton Dragon was looking at the sun in the sky as if to determine the direction. At the same time, it pinched the soil and some plant debris on the ground and put it in front of its face to smell.

It probably found the traces of its tribe. Many creatures would determine their direction according to the sun.

At this moment, the skeleton dragon seemed to have discovered something. It quickened its pace and ran to a pile of rocks. It climbed on top of the rocks and seemed to be looking into the distance.

Seeing this, Lin flew to its side and looked in the direction of the skeleton dragon's vision. In the distance, a large group of sprinting dragons was eating the grass on the ground.

These sprinting dragons would raise their heads and look left and right every time they ate, as if they were afraid of something. Suddenly, one of the sprinting dragons began to run for its life. Seeing this, the other sprinting dragons also ran after it.

"Hiss!"

Following a sharp roar, several creatures with sharp wooden spikes suddenly jumped out from the sand among the sprinting dragons. These creatures were obviously the same species as the skeleton dragon. They threw the wooden spikes with all their might, but the sprinting dragons had already run hundreds of meters away. None of the wooden spikes could hit their targets.

The leader of the group of skeleton dragons was obviously very angry because it did not catch its prey. Because the leader jumped out later, it did not even have time to throw the wooden spikes in its hand before all the sprinting dragons ran away.

The leader roared out of anger, but the skeleton dragon on Lin's side was different. It was very happy to see its tribe. It immediately rushed over while shouting!

Finally, it found its tribe. In order to distinguish this skeleton dragon from the other skeleton dragons, Lin decided to name it... "Tucker".

Because the ancient squid that was given this name died very quickly last time, Lin decided to give it the name.

"Whoosh!"

However, Tucker stopped halfway. The leader seemed to be shocked by Tucker's cry. The leader reflexively threw the wooden spike, which pierced Tucker's chest...

Tucker clutched his chest and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The leader was shocked when it saw this. It and the other skeleton dragons immediately surrounded Tucker. They kept making all kinds of sounds as if they were discussing something. After a while, the leader carried what looked like a horned dragon's mouth and placed it beside Tucker.

Then, the skeleton dragon group left. Lin felt that Tucker could still be saved, but they did not seem to want to save him.

It seemed that its journey was over. Was Tucker dead just like that...?

In fact, it was far from over.

Lin had the pterosaur approach Tucker and use its mouth to pull the wooden spike out of his chest. This kind of wooden spike was usually only about five centimeters thick and did not cause much damage.

Then, Lin would resurrect him again!

"Whoosh!"
