Vol 4 Chapter 44: Leaving the abyss

I am going out now.
Lin and Tucker are on a salt lake. Above the lake, the beautiful sunshine falls down, illuminating the darkness here...
Lynn has created some floating tied to Tucker, which is not enough to make it float, but it can greatly reduce Tucker's body weight, allowing it to easily climb up the wall of the cave.
But before that, Lin will show the show to Tucker about the final ending of Bai Xiaolong.
When Tucker first saw the displayer, it would be a real sight. Although it is much better now, it still shows anger when it shows the white dragon.
The connection between the white dragon and the fungus, Lin is by imagination and speculation, they really did not leave any paintings or statues to tell this history, everything seems to happen quite quickly...
Lin feels that this history has to be linked from when it landed on this continent.
Tucker's history is relatively simple, they just wandered in the wilderness, and Bai Xiaolong may have had a long history. They should have flown over the dinosaur continental rift to the other side of the rift, which is the continent. The outermost periphery, a wasteland, the world destroyed by fungi.
In the peripheral area, there is a small Snapdragon that uses bones to build a nest to resist fungi. Originally it was considered to be a relatively small Snapdragon, they are only about one meter long, and the long-eyed Snapdragon has two meters. Now Lin I think that the pups that may have been abandoned are not necessarily.
At first, the dragon should have lived from the inner continent across the rift. After being attacked by fungi outside, some adult white dragons crossed the huge rift. Returned to the inner continent. They may have reached a symbiotic relationship with Feilong at this time.
The relationship they reach may not be like the usual symbiosis. It is very likely that the baby of the dragon has been picked up and raised, just like the brain worm.
The white dragon with the dragon is obviously the most powerful hunter in this area. They are invincible in this world, which makes the white dragon's ethnic group develop rapidly. They are a kind of more aggressive creatures, and they have a very good attitude towards Tucker's dragon. Strong hostility, this is a relatively common phenomenon between creatures, and perhaps the two have had a competitive relationship a long time ago.
The fighting level of the Bailong and Xiaolong ethnic groups should be similar. But the turning point is that a white dragon has raised the dragon's cubs. After that, everything is different. Tucker's dragons are only slaughtered, and when the white dragons become the top hunters on the mainland, they I found some problems...
Fungi are still following them.
Initially, the white dragons discovered that some of their companions were infected with fungi, they immediately killed it, and then buried them under the ground of the salt plains.
The white dragons found that salt can also prevent the spread of fungi.
But then more and more people were infected, later. The infected people are all under the cave of the salt stone, where the cave is filled with salt. So the fungus will not spread out...
In the underground, the Dragon Gate, the beginning of the life, where the fungus still broke out, they killed a large number of white dragons, only a part of which escaped.
However, the part that escaped was also infected, so it was swallowed up by the minced ants to avoid spreading the fungal infection.
In this regard, perhaps they are voluntarily swallowed by the cut ants, because the battles on the way are visible, the white dragon is a race that is quite good at using sacrifice tactics...
In the end, they left a very small number, which is what Tucker and Lin saw.
Of course, there are many problems in this, such as why there are so many eggs there, why the fungus is petrified, why a big dragon is also here...
However, it can be confirmed that this group of white dragons did migrate to the ground for some reason, and this ground has ever swelled a huge amount of fungi, but they eventually could not climb to the ground.
This fungus is somewhat different from the plague fungus, but it should be a very similar species, or a variant of the plague fungus, which confirms that the cut ants are not infected and that their ability to spread is limited.
Bai Xiaolong is not extinct. There should be some living in other places. If you encounter them, you may be able to solve some of the mysteries behind, but they must also understand the situation here, and... Tucker does not kill them. Only then.
Now, Lin believes that she should leave here. The pompons slowly retracted the tentacles. After Tucker finished reading, it was quite happy for the death of Bai Yulong, but it did not seem to understand things like fungi.
These things have to be taught slowly, there are quite a few things to teach them.
Tuck climbed up the cave wall, and he was quite surprised by the floating ball stuck to himself, but because the surprise seemed too much, now it will not dance every time he sees a surprise. It is.
Lin's pompoms slowly drifted from the caves. The height of hundreds of meters was not too far away. Soon, Tucker and Lin returned to the sun again.

Hey!
Tucker shouted excitedly into the sky as he climbed out of the cave. Its shouts were mixed with a lot of happy emotions, mainly because it learned about the demise of Bai Yulong, and Tucker had arrived for this race. The point of 'hate', but Lin feels a little pity, the demise of Bai Xiaolong also buried their history.
However, Lynn can make Tucker and its ethnic groups create a new history.
Now, the hot light shines on the deserted land, looking around, there is no end of the white salt, the dry smoke flies with the hot wind, this place is constantly revealing the breath of death.
It is no wonder that Bai Yulong will choose here, even plague fungi can not spread from here.
Tucker looked around and slammed on the ground and heard that it was a little hesitant. Tuck seemed to be unable to find his direction.
If this is the case, go to the direction of the ethnic group. They now seem to be tens of kilometers away from here. The parasite that Lin had put down at that time is still on the baby, and can be accurately positioned.
"Oh!" Suddenly, Tucker yelled and rushed in one direction, and it seemed to find something.
Lin also drifted away, when Lin also found that in the salty hot air, there were some rotten corpses smell.
If you have a corpse, you can also add nutrients. Now, although the water has been supplemented enough, Lin and Tuck have not got food for a long time.
After more than ten seconds of advancement, Lynn saw a red object appearing in the white salt dust of the flying, which looked like a plant.
Yes, like six open white leaves, the color is almost the same as the salt, each piece is more than two meters long, half a meter wide, the whole plant is emitting a very strong rotten smell.
Tucker didn't seem to see the camouflage color of the plant. It ran to the smell. As soon as it ran to the center of the six leaves, all the leaves immediately merged and Tak was completely closed inside. .
But after a few seconds, a crack appeared in one of the leaves, and Tucker cut the blade with a sharp stone and drilled it out.
Sure enough, it is a trap plant. This plant should be dependent on creatures such as pterosaurs that look for carrion on the wasteland. Lin found that it seems to have no roots. It is not easy to evolve so purely.
Tucker, who didn't find food, looked rather lost, but it seemed to have discovered something new and went in one direction...
If that's the case, then follow it. I used to follow it with the pterosaur. Lin rarely gave Tucker their way.
Lin followed Tucker slowly in the desert, and the scorching sun in the sky began to become bleak. When everything became dark, a starry sky replaced the white light, and the hot environment became cold and even cold. a lot of.
Tucker didn't like to move at this time. He squatted down on the ground and seemed to want to dig a hole to live.
It seems to be a good time to teach it now.
But what about teaching it? Language? Building a variety of nests? Or... flame?
From the perspective of Xiaolong's lifestyle, Lin believes that if they want to make rapid progress, they may need some special development methods. They should teach them how to gather bigger communities, grow things, and achieve a long-term lifestyle.
At present, Lin only teaches Tucker some common knowledge such as language, and other things have to wait until after encountering its ethnic group.
This dark night, slowly under the guidance of Lin, Tucker pushed back the time of sleep a lot. When it came out of the nest caused by salt sand, the day was half gone.
Then Lin began to lead the way to find the ethnic group of Xiaolong.
Crossing the whole piece of salt, Lin and Tuck did not encounter any more situations. There are almost no creatures here. I only occasionally see the trap plants before. Lin calls it 'salt cage' and sometimes sees pterosaurs. To these salt cages, and then trapped inside, can not escape.
After walking through dozens of kilometers of salt, the surrounding environment has slowly changed. There are occasional giant plants on the ground. These plants are full of highly toxic spikes, which are rare here and do not prey on animals. Photosynthetic plants.
At the same time, Lin also saw the ethnic group of Xiaolong. They did not look very good. There were 30 members before. There are only a dozen left, and they are basically a weak model. Even The same is true of the leader.
The baby is about half lost, but the one that Lin is positioned is still alive.
It seems that they have encountered a lot of things along the way, and it is more like what was attacked than hunger or water shortage.

Hey!
Tucker yelled as he saw them, and a few dragons suddenly frightened, and the leader even cast a wooden thorn on it.
But this time Tucker didn't make any more moves. The wood thorn flew past him and was tied to Lin's pompom. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
