Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple each had a large Spider Silk Bag full of Source Stones tied to their carapaces, trudging behind Grass Dragon with great difficulty. As soon as they neared the cave entrance, all six legs went soft, and they collapsed on the spot.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, save us~"
"Grass Dragon wants to kill us bugs~"
Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple wailed piteously.
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress looked toward Grass Dragon, "What's wrong?"
Grass Dragon replied calmly, "These two little things are bold as thieves, they actually dared to threaten and extort Mountain Lord Melde."
Grass Dragon shot back, "Dragon Cypress, didn't you assign them to watch me? But they started scheming for kickbacks themselves. Even know how to play tricks. How old are these little warriors anyway? Can't just let them run wild. I'm helping you discipline them."
Dragon Cypress: "...Well disciplined!"
Dragon Cypress: "…I'll give them a real lesson when we get back."
