NO.101 ULTRA-ANCIENT WARRIOR - TOOTH DRAGON
Then one day, a huge creature fell from the sky and landed in the forest near the town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Witnesses all spoke of the size of the creature, and those who didn't witness it probably felt the earth tremble the moment the thing hit the ground.
This time, I'm afraid something terrible has fallen.
The people picked out the best hunters to search, and Dima, who had never been out of the village, was with them this time. They walked for a day, and finally, in the depths of the forest, they saw a gigantic corpse. It was about the length of five trees connected together, and it was covered with hard gray scale armor, and even a sword made of steel could not cut through it in its entirety.
The head the size of a small house hung low on the ground, and the broken wing membranes hung from the trees and fell to the ground. Dark red blood flowed from the cracked parts of the body, and a disgusting smell emanated, as if he had been dead for a long time.
Dima gently stroked the corpse and sighed and told people that this was a dragon-like creature, a very powerful species, and somehow died here. The corpses of dragons are cursed, so it's best not to act rashly.
The people listened to Dima's words and left the place, but a few more sneaked back to take some meat or something with them. But in the end they didn't make it back, like many of the people who came here secretly.
Many days after that, Kenny had to get a special product from Toenail Town. In fact, they are not considered specialty, because they do not exchange goods with the outside world for a long time, but concentrate on certain times and hold large-scale gatherings. The town's rally is not only a town's gathering, many people from other places will come here, in addition to buying the town's specialties, but also to see the town's customs.
It's only at this time of year that the town is a place where people can come and go as they please. There have been a few accidents before, but they have all been overcome by the people of the town. They have earned status and respect, as well as trust with their efforts.
At a rally, Dima, who had not been out for a long time, saw their specialties in a wooden box filled with water. In the dark water, there seemed to be countless lights and shadows shaking, and it was like a small fish. They move fast and look vibrant.
Pick up any of them, and you'll find that it's really similar to a fish, but if you look closely, it's not at all. Dima could see that this was just a palm-sized thing, but it was actually very dangerous. The scales on its body are not ordinary scales, but dragon scales, and ordinary swords may not be able to cut them. Its muscles are so strong that Dima believes that if it were in someone's hand, it will jump up and bite someone. Its head resembles those of carnivorous scales, but the teeth that burst out of its mouth are reminiscent of those vicious beasts.
People have given it a figurative name - the Tooth Dragon. The reason why it is called the dragon in the back is not because people can see the dragon scales on its body, but because it is said that this kind of thing is parasitic in the body of dragons. The people who first discovered it took great risks to fish it out of the dragon's body. Many people also died for this, and paid a great price.
The value of this thing is also obvious. Yukihime, who is well versed in the market, bluntly tells Dima that this is what happened to the dragon that fell in the forest in the first place, and some people even think that this is the reason for the death of the powerful creature. A group of undead people found the eggs of the kind on the corpses of the corrupted dragons, so that they could bring them back. The teeth of the little thing are said to be able to bite open even the armor of the Calamity Knight, and in the process of raising it, people find a drug to inhibit its activity, otherwise this thing will not be able to raise at all, and no barrier can stop their teeth. People use it as a hunting helper, and even a sword can't pierce the skin of a fierce beast, and its teeth can bite through it at once. As a result, many people attach its teeth to their weapons, and some people use it directly to attack their prey.
The only thing to be sorry for is that the meat of the Tooth Dragon Tree tastes so bad that it's hard to swallow. So in fact, there are not many people who are willing to raise this kind of thing.
"I don't like them." Watching Dima fiddle with the tooth dragon's teeth, Yukihime's face showed undisguised disgust and looked away. She felt that attaching the sword to their teeth was an insult to the sword itself.
Dima took a closer look and threw the Toothless back into the crate. "Yukihime, what kind of creature do you think this is?" When he has nothing to do, Dima has also taught Xue Ji a lot of practical knowledge, and the division of the ten categories of heaven and earth is also among them.
Knowledge in the ancient world was in the hands of a few, passed down by word of mouth among the people, and only those who were noble and of status had the opportunity to learn this knowledge exclusively. However, in such troubled times, probably only the academy in the imperial capital is still functioning normally.
After thinking seriously for a while, Yukihime said, "I think it should be a dragon, you can see that it still has dragon scales on its body, which is the sign of a dragon." ”
Dima smiled: "You can see that they are dragon scales, it seems that you still haven't learned in vain." But it is not a simple single species. ”
"What does that mean?"
"To put it simply, its teeth have the characteristics of a god-like creature, but its scales have the characteristics of a dragon-like creature, and the blood and muscles flowing in its body obviously have the characteristics of a desolate creature, and it is a magical creature."
"And what kind of creature does it belong to?" Yukihime asked.
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen something like this."
"But doesn't it have the characteristics of three creatures? Could it be hybridized, that ...... Species. When it comes to this kind of thing, Yukihime, who has always been outspoken, hesitates. Maybe it's because it sounds so appalling.
"Impossible," Dima waved his hand decisively, "creatures between different species cannot be together. ”
"Why do you assert that?"
"Ahem, I guess that's what the gods mean."
"But didn't the gods let this freak appear?"
"This, that, I can't tell." Dima failed to answer Yukihime's question, and has not been able to answer it since. The matter passed quickly, and cooled down like the cultivation of the Tooth Dragon. It is said that the medicine used to suppress the tooth dragon seems to be gradually ineffective, and people have not been able to find new drugs, so no one wants to keep them anymore.
Dima and Yukihime's lives go on, and soon it's breeding season again.
At this time of the year, Yukihime continued to hunt down those fierce beasts, and if she was lucky, she could catch a cub of a fierce beast. The cubs of some ferocious beasts are even more expensive on the market than their adult bodies.
But Xue Ji didn't go out this year, in fact, even if she didn't go out, the accumulation at home was enough for her and Dima's life. Moreover, she has successfully made a pact with Dima. One day during this breeding season, she had something important to say to him, and he had to devote all his energy to listening to her carefully.
The process of making an agreement is not simple, and there are many, many things that happen, and the result is the birth of this agreement.
At the beginning of the breeding season, they officially began to live together. In the past, Dima was always wandering around alone, and Yukihime was doing the so-called practice every day, but now they are really together.
They would get up together, fish together, help others build fences, decorate wedding venues together, run to the top of trees on boring nights, and despise the night sky.
Dima naturally didn't feel no sense of Xue Ji's clinging to his behavior, but he didn't express an opinion on it, and he refused to express his opinion on it when others asked. If he really can't do it, he will come up with his own set of truths, "The meaning of life lies in the process, and I have been living for that process." Ahem, don't worry about the outcome or anything. ”
The only thing that shocked Dima was that during the time they had spent together, their understanding had deepened at a frightening rate. It was so terrible that no one, no one, dared to know him so well.
Because he is not a sage at all, he is the incarnation of the Purple Emperor, the master of this heaven and earth, and the master of the world. The Purple Emperor should be a legend, not something within reach, he'd always thought so. However, not so long ago, he was also a man who was known. Although those who knew him were not around, but when he thought that he would be understood, thinking in his current capacity, the first thing that came to him was not anger and fear, but another kind of emotion. He thought of a terrible possibility, did he want to be understood?
No, as the Purple Emperor, what I hope is to be understood. Hell, but isn't understanding the first step to understanding?
The restless thoughts that flowed through his thoughts were finally reflected in his actions. He could no longer play with Yukihime as casually as before, and instead began to listen to her advice, which was simply mad and unreasonable.
As for Yukihime, the time spent together finally made her make up her mind. So on a sunny afternoon, by the uninhabited lake, she and he ushered in a sunset evening.
There was no one around, only the wind blowing gently, ruffling Yukihime's silver hair. On the other side, he blinked, and glanced at Yukihime in some amazement, he really didn't understand - Yukihime took off his armor, got rid of the never leaving Dirandot, and cleaned his body properly - called him here to say something important.
"If there's anything important, just say it quickly." His brows furrowed, and the more he looked at Yukihime's face, the more he had a sense of foreboding in his heart. Could it be that what I thought was going to come true, but that was impossible.
Yukihime took a deep breath and opened her mouth, but she couldn't spit out a word.
"The ......"
"I'm sorry, let me calm down and don't go away! Important words are not so easy to say. Yukihime said in a panic, completely losing her cool as a brave man.
"Okay." He somewhat regretted that he hadn't used the Supreme Rule Emperor these days. It's too late to launch now. The door of the heart is not so easy to lock.
