Bo bo
The Spirit Glowing Dragon was very anxious and wanted to stop Zhu Minglang.
Dont panic, dont panic, we still have time, they are some distance away… Zhu Minglang comforted the Spirit Glowing Dragon.
The Spirit Glowing Dragon wanted to call for other big brothers and sisters in the Spirit Realm to help, but Zhu Minglang could not open the Door of the Spiritual Realm now, so other dragons could not be summoned.
Moreover, having other dragons nearby wouldnt necessarily be helpful.
As long as external force intervened, it would trigger a decision for self-harm, similar to the female disciple who had chopped off her own head earlier, and one who had died by biting her own tongue.
How could outsiders possibly stop someone who was determined to die?
Knowing this, Zhu Minglang didnt let anyone touch him.
Any intervention, and he would die immediately.
Walking this way, at least there was time to think…
If all else failed, he would let the Spirit Glowing Dragon and the Azure Phoenix Dragon fight to the death with the Red Striped Death God Dragon.
Damn it, damn it, what was I trying to tell you just now, I cant remember, I cant remember!! Mr. Jinli wished he could slap his own face with his tail.
This damnable amnesia, Mr. Jinli sometimes hated himself for always forgetting critical things.
Its alright, we still have time, you think slowly, I actually have some ideas, its just… Zhu Minglang said to Mr. Jinli.
You cant die, if you die… Mr. Jinli also began to grow anxious.
The Azure Phoenix Dragon stayed close to Zhu Minglang, its pair of blue vertical pupils staring at the Tree Trunk Maze.
Anyway, as soon as it saw the Red Striped Death Dragon, it would rush at it, no matter how many there were or how high their cultivation base was.
If it could only make Zhu Minglang return to normal, able to summon Bai Qi, Xuan Sa, Nuwa Dragon… there might still be a chance.
Zhu Minglang continued walking into the Tree Trunk Maze, he could barely turn his head, looking back at the female sword masters who were falling into fear and near collapse…
This was the second time they suffered this torment, and they were barely holding up mentally.
They are all safe… why is this…
Zhu Minglang looked at Tang Zun, Kong Qiao, Lan Zun, the woman in goose-yellow clothes, Bai Qinan…
Last time, they were not chosen either.
The sword masters from Meng Bingcis faction were all safe.
During the first selection of offerings by the Red Striped Death Dragon, about thirty or forty sword masters died, and none from the group he initially led were among them.
He knew this because, during the first bizarre offering ritual by the Red Striped Death Dragon, Zhu Minglang had Tang Zun check the numbers again.
The count was unchanged.
At first, Zhu Minglang thought it was luck that their group wasnt chosen, but the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
All along the way, Zhu Minglang had been pondering the ability of the Red Striped Death Dragon, so powerful it defied heaven, to prevent himself from becoming this offering, Zhu Minglang repeatedly thought about how to break it…
Zhu Minglang was also an often outdoor adventurer, from what he knew, most of the unknown and bizarre aspects of nature were due to not understanding its secrets. By grasping a most critical secret, one would no longer suffer ruthless predation, the simplest rules being, bright-colored mushrooms should not be eaten, and one must be careful of crocodiles and predators behind when drinking water by a river…
What secret did the Red Striped Death Dragon master that could bring living creatures onto its dining table??
Details, there must be some details he had overlooked.
Those that couldnt be explained, he felt might be coincidences…
Perhaps they were not coincidences at all.
There were more than two hundred people in the team.
His faction had ninety-two people.
The first and second times, over fifty people were chosen as offerings. Out of those fifty-plus people, aside from himself, not a single one was from his faction!
Why was this??
Not considering himself as a factor.
All the offerings were actually chosen from among those in Wei Huans faction.
Since entering the Ghost Mark Star, what was different about their team compared to his own faction?
Where had they initially gone?
Their team hadnt been attacked by ancient eagles.
I remember now, I remember now… the breeding of the Red Striped Death God Dragon is extremely harsh, only one survives out of billions of larvae! Mr. Jinli suddenly shouted.
But after shouting, Mr. Jinli wished he could smack himself with his tail. .
What use was it to say such a thing, when Zhu Minglang was about to be eaten!!!
Billions of larvae?? Zhu Minglang was stunned for a moment, a flash of insight crossing his mind!
Red Striped Death God Dragon is a stinging dragon, right, an insect dragon?? Zhu Minglang quickly asked.
Yes, yes, yes!!
A great light appeared in front of Zhu Minglang!
Understood, understood!!
I dont have to die!
Zhu Minglang let out a huge sigh of relief, his heart filled with immense joy!
Why hadnt he thought of this before!
In nature, one often sees creatures that cooperate in hunting.
Take wolves, for example.
Some fast wolves are responsible for chasing sheep and cattle.
Some strong wolves handle attacking isolated targets.
Some old and weak wolves only scare the herd of sheep and cattle.
So even if there are only a few wolves, they can complete a hunt with a large herd of cattle and sheep.
Cooperative hunting, clear division of labor, each to its own!
The rare sacrifice method of the Red Striped Death God Dragon also uses this tactic!!
But the species on the Ghost Mark Star are indeed more clever.
If one kept staring at how exactly the Red Striped Death God Dragon did it, one would never find the answer…
Their cooperative hunting isnt just the Red Striped Death God Dragon as a single species, but other species that were overlooked!
Ancient Eagles!
Red Striped Larvae!!
And the plants growing on this land, the water flowing on this land!
Yes, the species on the Ghost Mark Star know how to hunt in cooperation!!!
Even if they are different species, they each have their roles, making those outsiders die confused and scared, even developing psychological fear and awe of the Red Striped Death God Dragon, just like the real God of Death!
First,
The ancient eagles arent a foolish species, they know they cant kill these powerful humans but still incessantly harass them, the purpose being to injure them, to poison them.
So the ancient eagles are responsible for harassing and driving, and they drive prey into the territory of the Red Striped Death God Dragon.
After the prey is tired, injured, and poisoned, they seek Detoxification Grass and use water to wash their wounds.
Secondly,
Those so-called Detoxification Grasses are full of Red Striped Larvae, including eggs in the water as well!!
These larvae are nearly undetectable, they enter a persons body through wounds, or through drinking water…
The larvae start to grow inside a persons body, burrowing into the muscles, into the bone marrow.
Bone marrow wormsZhu Minglang had seen such creatures before.
Lastly,
When these larvae are spread throughout a persons body, all they need is a command from the Red Striped Death God Dragon, and they will control the person to walk towards the Red Striped Death God Dragon, offering their heads voluntarily…
This is why the Red Striped Death God Dragon doesnt eat the body, only the heads!
The bodies are filled with its offspring!!!
