Chapter 18: Dragons
But all living creatures in the world are gradually evolving, bringing themselves closer to perfection.
Because of this, the gap between living beings is getting wider and wider, thanks to different identities.
For example, the pupils of prey are horizontal, because they need a wider field of vision to observe their surroundings and better spot enemies, and of course, they also need to see clearly and escape better, so no matter where their head is, their pupils will always remain parallel to the ground.
The hunter's pupil is longitudinal, which can lock on the hunting target more quickly, can also better maintain the stability of the picture, and can also better estimate the height of the object in the longitudinal direction, so such eyes are more common when hunting, and can make better judgments without alarming the prey.
For example, bobcats, leopards, lions, tigers, snakes, crocodiles.
For example, dragons.
Dragons are undoubtedly terrifying monsters at the top of the food chain, and although this creature has not appeared in the mortal world for a long time, and now even exists only in legends, knightly novels, or bard nonsense, becoming a creature more akin to mythology, it is certain that they exist and are powerful.
After all, only an opponent that humans cannot defeat will inspire people's infinite imagination of victory, and appear as the last terrifying creature killed in a knight's novel.
The moment Smirno saw the golden eyes of the girl in front of him, he suddenly figured out something.
No wonder, no wonder she was able to escape from the encirclement and suppression of so many brothers and ascend to heaven, no wonder that the big forces wanted to deal with her by themselves.
There are so many no wonders.
He looked at the girl's indifferent eyes and calm face, and suddenly felt a little frightened.
Perhaps, she is the hunter, and she is the prey.
Zhang Xinyuan's ankles and wrists are covered with several pale blue dragon scales, which are also one of the few characteristics of her bloodline as a dragonborn.
She is not a pure human, her ancestors may have been a male dragon who fell in love with a human girl, or a female dragon who was fascinated by a human youth, but there is no doubt that she has dragon blood in her veins.
Yes, there is no such thing as an all-powerful person in this world, unless...... She's not human!
The rain gradually turned into snow and fell from the sky, and a thin layer of frost was attached to the leaves of the forest, and the snow flew like flocculents, fluttering and being swept up by the wind, and it seemed that it could not be stopped.
There were a few snowflakes, but the lucky ones were not shattered by the wind blade or the wind wall, and fell alone.
Zhang Xinyuan held the sword, and then, out of the sword.
The wind swept and the snow and frost rose into the sky, looking beautiful and dizzying.
She stabbed Smirno with her sword.
It's an ordinary sword, but it's also a very powerful sword.
A trace of ice-blue flame suddenly jumped out of her sword, and instead of the slightest burning sensation, the flame emitted a piercing cold, and the sword also burned brightly.
At the moment when the sword burned, the flowers and trees around it turned into broken blue ice crystals, which made people not only sigh that the creatures born here were really bloody.
The greatsword and the rapier finally met in the air.
The wind suddenly stopped, and the frost and snow melted and melted into icy water, crackling on the leaves, and there was something charming to the eye.
Zhang Xinyuan held the thin sword, standing in front of Smirno with an expressionless face, still maintaining the posture of a forward stab, his close-fitting clothes were in tatters, revealing a large area of naked body, and blood was dripping from the perfect curve.
However, Smirno was not in the mood to enjoy the view.
His face was pale, his chest was stained with spit blood, his body was shaky, he almost fell, he took a few steps back, leaned against a large tree to stabilize his body, untied the wine jug from his waist, and drank with the blood.
His eyes were unwilling, angry, and finally calm.
Zhang Xinyuan put away the sword, and didn't know where she received the sword, watched Smino drink and walked forward.
Finally, Smirno drank the last drop, so he slowly put down the flask: "I have been doing this for twenty years, I have always been cautious, not greedy and not bad rules, I didn't expect to attack the dragon seed this time, it seems that my luck is really bad." ”
He shook his head, and even showed a smile, "But if you have a chance to fight the dragon species, maybe I should say that my luck is really good." ”
didn't care about Smino's self-talk, Zhang Xinyuan walked up to him, looked at him condescendingly, and said calmly: "Since you dare to call your brother to kill me, you must know very well who I am." ”
Smirno smiled bitterly, and secretly said in his heart If I had known who you were, I would not have had any thoughts about you if I abandoned the thieves group on the spot and ran away, but I heard Zhang Xinyuan continue, "You are very strong, in order to ensure my safety, it seems that I should cut off your limbs before you have recovered your combat strength." ”
Smirno didn't know what else to do but smile bitterly, he just said, "I just didn't expect that the descendants of the arrogant dragon would sneak attack, harass, deceive, and even distract me by attacking people who have no resistance?"
Zhang Xinyuan looked at Smino and said very seriously, "Although I am a dragonborn, I have never met my parents, so I can't learn from their arrogance, and I don't know what the so-called tolerance and generosity are, I will be angry, such as the thing that you want to kill me, this incident makes me very angry, so I must take revenge, and why did you kill me." ”
She thought for a moment, spread her hands and said, "I don't believe you have those stupid loyalties to your employers. ”
A smile bloomed on Smirno's face, and then his voice suddenly went cold, "Why should I tell you?"
Zhang Xinyuan shrugged, the wound on her body had begun to heal gradually, however, with this movement, somewhere on her shoulder cracked again, and blood flowed down.
She frowned and said, "Tell me, how about I spare your life?"
Smirno was silent for a moment, as if he was still hesitating, but he heard Zhang Xinyuan's cold voice that didn't seem to have a trace of emotion, "Maybe you think your life is not worth anything, after all, as a thief, you must be ready to die at any time, not to mention that your life is already in my hands, but you think, since you are not my opponent, then the other people in your group must not be either." I could have killed them all, including the old and the children, and if you promised me, I promised not to attack anyone in your regiment. ”
Smirno's eyes flashed with anger, but he was finally relieved, his hands trembled, and he said with a wry smile, "It seems that I don't have a choice." ”
Zhang Xinyuan shook his head, "The moment you were found, you had no choice. ”
After a moment of silence, she added, "Now I would like to sit down for a moment as a guest." ”
Soon after, Zhao Qianyu watched Smirno take Zhang Xinyuan into the camp, and said in his heart that there was really no need to worry about her at all, this crazy woman was a little terrifying now, and after a little thought, she decided to stay outside, and instead of entering the camp with her, she began to build a magic circle, ready to save Zhang Xinyuan at any time.
In case she was really besieged at any cost, he was going to just blow the wall open, and then pull her and run.
In this way, Zhao Qianyu froze at the top of the tree all night and didn't see Zhang Xinyuan come out, and he didn't hear the sound of fighting, so in the end, he only felt that the wind was very noisy tonight, and ......
"Ahh
Actually, the summer nights are really cold.
