Chapter 207 Questions About Transformation

"Those things...what are they?"

The emerald dragons gathered at the edge of the jungle, looking at the huge black shadow in the sky... Their current emotions include doubts, confusion, and... fear.

The black shadow is composed of countless small creatures, and those creatures look very familiar.

"Are those standing scorpions? How could it be..." At this time, Susumi was also looking at the situation in the sky. This situation was unbelievable to him. Why did the group of standing scorpions fly suddenly?

In fact, not only Susumi, Lin was also a little surprised by the flying Liscorpion.

The 'eggs' that Susumi and the others discovered before were not eggs, but something similar to a pupa. The deformation of standing scorpions is similar to arthropods such as beetles. They do not grow new organs and structures directly from their bodies. , but needs to create a shell to wrap itself, and then dissolve itself into a liquid state inside, reorganizing the entire body.

This is an extremely complicated way, each cell is rearranged, can create a completely different organism, so many insect larvae and adults are completely alike.

Standing scorpions look very close to their previous form, but major changes have taken place in their bodies. In order to be able to fly, they must first replace with a lighter porous carapace, and then adapt their body shape to aerodynamics. It is the change of the internal organs structure, but it is relatively easy to add wings.

However, one doubtful point is that the Yate tribe used to be sea creatures, and they should not have any flying species, but the wings of the standing scorpion are not the membranous wings of common arthropods, but the wing shape similar to pterosaurs . Lin speculates that maybe the Yate tribe had such units before. They look suitable for flying out of the sea to attack surface creatures.

But why is the standing scorpion deformed now? Susumi burned more than half of it with fire before changing? If they start they can fly. The Emerald Dragon has long been defeated. Did Li Scorpion originally have this transformation ability, or did it come later? This is also a mystery... Lin thinks that they are similar to brain worms, and may require the colony to reach a certain point before they can produce new arms... But further research is needed on this aspect.

Li Xie's decision to transform seems like a 'gamble', because Li Xie can't be sure whether the jade dragon will destroy the eggs. Although they are protected by the smell, the transformation time is too long. It's hard to say anything, but it's true that they won the bet now.

Lin was very interested in their various questions, so I asked a Lixie to ask them.

Thinking about it, Lin's spy left the emerald dragon's camp and walked towards the city of standing scorpion.

And the Emerald Dragons,

Still looking in surprise at the flying Liscorpion troops in the air.

"I didn't expect the eggs to become like this, but their number seems to be small, Wang." Mukla stood beside Susumi, who had been carefully observing the group of standing scorpions. Although they fly over the sky, the actual number is not as high as the eggs they find in the city.

"I noticed." Susumi said: "Maybe some eggs didn't hatch successfully. No matter how they become like this, even if they can fly, it is difficult to resist our troops with such a small number... Bows and arrows ready!"

Under Susumi's order, the surrounding emerald dragons reacted. They picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at the flying scorpion in the air. The flying scorpion hovered in the air and flew back and forth, but did not move.

Mukla noticed this phenomenon, and it said: "It's a little strange, king, they haven't attacked all the time."

"Then let's attack first, shoot the arrows!"

'Whoosh! ’ A large number of arrows rushed into the sky immediately, but before they touched the flying scorpion, they lost momentum one after another and fell from the sky to the ground...

But the flying scorpion still didn't attack, but hovered in the air, as if waiting for something.

"Is the range not enough?" Susumi looked at the situation, and it didn't know what to do for a while. The bow and arrow used by the Emerald Dragon now has a range of more than 100 meters, which is not very far, and the killing range is even closer.

Now Susumi felt a little anxious, but it was impossible for the sub-dragon to attack the standing scorpion. Even if the sub-dragon would not be bitten, the emerald dragon riding on it would be easily attacked by the standing scorpion.

And those giant bows were also damaged in the battle, now the only way for Susumi is...to build them again.

The manufacturing method of the giant bow is relatively complicated. You need to find suitable wood, and then you need to cut and other work to make it. So Susumi didn't bring too many here at the beginning, but another reason is that it is not convenient to transport.

But Susumi has now found a way to make another giant bow. Its eyes looked at some trees on the edge of the swamp. These trees are called 'swamp wood'. Susumi used to get sap from these trees before Burning raid in the night.

But now, Susumi thinks of more uses for the tree.

"Mukla, pass the order to the soldiers!" Looking at the flying scorpion that did not rush down from the sky, Susumi said to Mukla: "Using those trees, we may be able to hit them..."

"Tree?" Mukla didn't know much about it at first, but after listening to Susumi's explanation, it immediately ran away to command the soldiers. Some soldiers followed Mukla's orders, and most of the jadeites The dragons still held their bows and arrows and looked at the sky. As long as they kept looking at the standing scorpions, they would not rush down.

Susumi didn't know what method he would think of? Although Lin has basically guessed it.

This side of the eyeball is watching Susumi's command, while on the other side, Lin's spies are now approaching the city of Liscorpion...

The appearance of this city that was burned by the fire is a little different now. Most of the tops of the pyramids have been opened, and it is estimated that the group of flying scorpions flew out from there.

They have such a powerful shape-shifting ability, it is impossible for them to learn it during the war. It must be that there were similar units in the Yate tribe before, but why did the standing scorpion change now?

Lin felt that there were more secrets in the pyramid.

Speaking of which, the white skeletal dragon crystal maniac dragging the main brain crystal has been on the edge of the plain these days and nights, and it has not yet entered the jungle.

Although some dinosaurs occasionally appear in the urban plain here, they are basically vegetarians, and there is no threat to Jingkuang. In the jungle, no creature will let go of a piece of fat dragging a heavy load.

However, Lin felt that Jingkuang didn't enter the jungle because he was afraid, it was purely because the terrain in the jungle made it impossible to drag the crystals properly.

After such a long time, Lin found that it was becoming more and more anxious, and tried to drag it in, but such a large heavy object could easily get stuck in tree roots or various places.

But it is still working hard, its perseverance is quite strong, it is a pity that it has wasted its perseverance on this kind of madness, this is also a rare sight.

Lin has now entered the city and came to the previous pyramid. The pit in the center of the pyramid is still empty, and there are split brains dug out by Black Pepper everywhere around.

Moreover, it doesn't look like Li Scorpion has been here...

It seems that although the Liscorpions buried the split brain and master brain here, they don't seem to take it very seriously, otherwise it wouldn't have been so long since they didn't find out the situation...

No, there is something here.

Lin felt some changes in the surrounding air, and there were some very subtle noises, as if... there were some creatures hiding here.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Indeed, there is a strange sound echoing...is it there?

The next moment, the spy picked up a split brain and threw it towards the rear wall. With a 'snap', the split brain seemed to hit something and was bounced aside.

I saw the wall there shaking, and a creature appeared.

It turns out that it is the ability to change color. In other words, this is also a variety of standing scorpion.

Lin found that this creature looked exactly like the scythe standing scorpion she had seen before, except for the ability to change color.

It seems that the standing scorpion is not only a flying scorpion, but also other standing scorpions have become other types, but no matter what, the previous type should not be retained...

The standing scorpion seemed a little surprised when it was discovered. It quickly swung its forelegs and rushed over, but Lin easily took a step back and avoided the attack.

The speed of Liscorpion is not much stronger than before, it seems that apart from the ability to change color, it has nothing special.

Maybe you can ask this standing scorpion how they achieve their transformation.

Seeing that Li Scorpion was about to continue to rush over, Lin immediately yelled at it: "You, stop!"

When Li Xie heard the 'Emerald Dragon' in front of him speak Li Xie's language, he stopped for a moment.

Unexpectedly, it stopped. It must be that the Jade Dragon spoke Liscorpion language too strangely, but when Lin was about to continue speaking, the other party asked Lin a question: "Why?"

"Why? What do you mean?" Lin asked suspiciously.

Sickle Liscorpion said, "Why are you attacking us?"

Lin didn't expect it to ask such a normal question, and thought it would be as difficult to communicate as the previous one. Thinking about it, Lin replied: "This is the king's decision."

"King?" Li Xie didn't seem to understand this word.

Lin said: "The king means the leader. Everything is decided by the king. The other members don't know what the king thinks."

"If there is no king, the war will stop?"

"Maybe so."

…………

Next, Lin and Lixie talked about some things. Lin found that Lixie liked to talk a lot, and felt that he was a very 'different' Lixie. Through the communication, Lin also learned some details about Lixie's life, and at the same time asked about Regarding the problem that they will deform. (To be continued..)
