The warriors of the Eastern Continent looked at their patriarch Xige one after another, their expressions were very solemn, and most of the orcs did not approve of slaying dragons now.

- Oh no, I don't approve of slaying dragons again!

It is not a matter of time for the Holy Lake to be taken over by the evil dragons. Therefore, from the dragon slaying initiated by the Eastern Continent alone, to the dragon slaying arranged by the Western Continent alone, and then to the dragon slaying organized by the two tribes together, the ending is either a tie or a fiasco, and the best one is a defeat for both sides.

What's in the picture? The continent of Sicily is so vast, and although the sacred lake is very important, it is not so important that it will put the lives of all the orc warriors into it, right?

The most important thing is that they have figured out the temper of the evil dragon: as long as they don't take the initiative to attack him, the dragon is actually quite safe, he is always a dragon, and he does not dare to go out of the holy lake and stay away from the water at will. If he was such a rampant and careless character, he set foot on land early in the morning and was slaughtered by the orcs.

Therefore, the current state of stalemate equilibrium, if not ideal, is the most appropriate.

Higg pondered for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Scar, I have a lot of sympathy for the warriors and females of the Raptor Tribe who were injured by the dragon, but I'm sorry, we Eastern Continent tribes don't want to participate in this dragon slay."

As soon as these words came out, the warriors of the Eastern Continent suddenly relaxed a lot, and looked at Xige with more appreciation-my beast god, my mother/beast father/partner/cub in my family is still waiting for me to hunt back, if I go to slay the dragon on the eve of the cold season, if I have an accident, how will my family survive this cold season......

Rui's clenched fist quietly loosened. Some time ago, when the weather was still warm, he would call his companions to go to see Xitu and Qingzhe every time, and at first they were always very worried that they would find their cough on the shore or surface of the lake...... corpses, and often sent them food and fruits, until they found out that the evil dragon had not harmed Qingzhe's mother and son, and they were relieved.

Higg looked at the patriarch and orcs of the Western Continent who were glaring angrily on the other side, and said resolutely:

"Scar, all the warriors of the Western Continent, if you want to say that dragon slaying, our tribe is never afraid, and it was our tribe that took the lead in the dragon slaying battle - but now that the cold season has arrived, our tribe is built on the ground, and the fierce beasts and blizzard in the cold season are our primary enemies, and if we go to slay dragons now, the safety of the females and cubs in my tribe will not be guaranteed."

His explanation at the beginning was quite polite, but Higg's next words were very unkind, and the tiger in the prime of life said menacingly:

"Your raptor tribe doesn't have those concerns, because your tribe is built on the trees of the ancient wood forest, and the fierce beasts in the cold season can't affect you, and your eagle tribe can survive the cold season by eating preserved fruit and water, but we are different, we need more food! Scar, you don't think about our tribe at all! ”

The people of the Raptor tribe were silent and looked at their patriarch.

Scar cleared his throat, and he said stiffly, "Higg, why do you think of us like that? Who said that the blizzard of the cold season had no effect on our tribe anymore? The blizzard of the cold season will hinder the flight of our eagle people, and every cold season blizzard will crush ancient trees, destroy wooden houses, and hurt my people! ”

The orcs of the Raptor tribe nodded in agreement.

Rui spoke again: "Since this is the case, both sides are not suitable for fighting, so why do you still propose to slay the dragon?" Patriarch Scar, we want to hear the real reason. ”

Higg glanced at his former good brothers with appreciative eyes, but it was a pity that now he was able to let them sit side by side with each other, and it was only for the sake of the tribe.

The orcs of the Raptor tribe did not respond in any way, and pretended not to understand.

"The real reason? The real reason is because the dragon seriously injured our two orcs and scared two females of the tribe! Isn't that a good enough reason? If you don't believe me, you can go to our tribe and have a look, Frye and Ter can't get out of bed yet. Skarser slapped the table indignantly and said.

- I won't tell you because our warriors have discovered the surprising fact that the dragon has hidden his companion in the Sicilian Sea, and that his companion is still a mermaid, and we discovered it first, and the mermaid should belong to our tribe.

Higg was not a mediocre patriarch, and he was very qualified in his role as patriarch: calm, wise, and big-pictured, otherwise the tribesmen would not have embraced him.

"We don't suspect that the two Eagle Clan warriors were seriously injured by the dragon's attack, and we also hope that the beast god can bless them and let them recover as soon as possible. It's just Scar, I've made it very clear just now: slaying dragons now is not a wise decision, and I can't put my people in danger. ”

Scar looked at Higg rather dissatisfied: "You're a tiger too?" If you are so small and have no courage to do big things, I look down on you!

Higg looked at Scar calmly: You didn't tell the truth, cunning eagle. I know you're just looking for more warriors to take on the dragons, and that's what happens after that...... You won't say? I also despise orcs like you who hide and tuck.

"Hehe~" Scar laughed angrily, "Well, since you are worried about this and that, and refuse to participate in the dragon slaying, then we can't force you." It's just Higg, shouldn't you have any scruples about provoking the dragon because the dragon has taken your cubs and ex-mate captive? I can hear you clearly, your tiger cub and ex-mate have been captured by the dragon for a long time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the orcs of the Raptor tribe immediately showed a sneering smile, and their eyes were full of contempt.

Higg was unmoved: "The dragon did indeed capture one of our tribe's cubs and his mother's father. However, I can honestly swear to the beast god: I, Higg, will never make a decision that is detrimental to the interests of the entire tribe just because of the safety of a mother and son! It doesn't matter if the cub is my cub or not, if the female is my former mate. ”

Rui listened expressionlessly, and didn't know how to evaluate Higg in his heart, but the fact that this orc abandoned the cub and the female he once loved so much was ironclad, and even if he was a qualified patriarch, he couldn't erase that heavy mistake.

Who is to blame? Both Qingzhe and Xitu are innocent. As a female, Qingzhe was the most painful, and he almost couldn't stand the blow and died, but fortunately he still had a lively and sensible cub, if it wasn't for the concern of raising Xitu, Qingzhe's illness might not be able to get better.

Scar sneered: "This is your territory Hig, you say yes and that, for your housework, we Raptor Tribe can only care about a few words." ”

The two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel.

The two great tribes of Sicily had been fighting for a very long time for a long time because of the competition for a wider range of hunting in the dense forest: hatred and blood, revenge, you attack me today, and I will lead people to fight back tomorrow - if it weren't for Ao Yang's sudden occupation of the holy lake, then they would not be able to just sit and negotiate in secret now, and most of them would have fought to the death.

Yes, these orcs of the Eagle Clan did not dare to fly directly and land on the territory of the Eastern Continent, because that would definitely cause chaos in the tribe: so many females and cubs' families had been hurt by the Eagle Clan, and when they saw the winged orcs, they had to fight to the death?

After the two patriarchs attacked each other for a while, Scar was finally defeated first, because their tribe still had to exchange the animal skins, dried fruits, and dried meat they brought with them for pearls, who made the pearls in the Eastern Continent have more pearls?

As for how it came about? No one knows, anyway, the number of pearls that have been passed down from generation to generation is known only to the patriarch and his partner, and it must be kept secret.

Higg nodded: "Take out the hides and dried fruits and take a look." ”

Alas ~ The Raptor tribe occupies the ancient wood forest of the Sicilian continent, which is a paradise for fruit trees and vegetarian beasts, and the fruit yield of the dense forest near the beast tribe is obviously not as good as that of the west, but the females and cubs in the eastern continent are much more than the Raptor tribe, and the food is always not enough to eat in the cold season.

*****

In the evening, Higg led the warriors and the orcs of the Raptor tribe to exchange their needs, and then dragged back to the room with tired steps.

"Get out!" His current partner, Kari, scolded irritably, and smashed a bamboo tube out.

Since becoming a partner, Higg has become more and more reluctant to speak, and Kari has become more and more fond of digging at his past and asking him endlessly.

"What's wrong with Kari again?" Higg asked patiently.

He really couldn't figure out why such a simple and cheerful female had such a bad temper after being pregnant with a cub, obviously Qingzhe became more gentle and smiling when she was pregnant with Xitu before......

Karry's belly was already big, and he suddenly sat up from the bed, holding his stomach and pointing at Higg, his voice sharp and aggrieved: "Again? What do you call again? I'm pregnant with your cub right now, and that's how you talk to me? How did you promise my beast father and mother father back then? That's how you took care of me? ”

Higg compromised with a headache: "Okay, I'm sorry I can't speak, I won't say that in the future, okay?" "There are always so many things to do in the tribe, and he has to face these things when he comes home after he is busy, and he is so tired.

Kari didn't give up: "What's your tone?" Are you disgusted with me and the cubs? I know that your Xitu and Qingzhe were captured by the evil dragon, so your heart also ran to the holy lake with you, right? I tell you Sigg, you'd better mind your own mind and don't let me find anything, or else—"

"Enough!" Higg couldn't help but growl, "Don't be cranky and suspicious, okay?" ”

Tears welled up in Kari's eyes, and his fingers trembled.

Subsequently, the quarrel between the husband and wife escalated in full swing and went out of control.

Kari cried and screamed, accusing Higg of not caring enough about him and the cubs, and of being obsessed with Qingzhe, until his stomach was upset, and Higg hurried to ask the priests of the tribe to come and check on him.

Higg leaned wearily against the wall in front of his house, silently looking at the dark forest in the distance.

- Am I really doing something wrong? I'm an orc, I want to be a warrior, I want to be a patriarch, I want to have a lot of cubs, what's wrong with me? Qingzhe, Qingzhe, he took the initiative to dissolve the partnership, and it was he who said that he didn't want me anymore, as long as he wanted it. It was just an accident between me and Kari, who was in the middle of the woods, and it was just the two of us who were with each other, and Kari was crying so pitifully......

Ji Mo, the mermaid, has been so idle in the past few days that the fish's tail is about to grow moss.

Waking up to eat, in a daze, sleepy, tired and sleeping, Ao Bai completely restricted his activities.

He was now able to sit up and move his fingers with ease, but he couldn't lift his arms or shake them back and forth. Ao Bai stayed at home to take care of him, and by the way, he found out the relatively unfamiliar sea nearby, and drove away or cleaned up all the dangerous creatures.

"Ao Bai~" Ji Mo only swam out of the house by swinging the fishtail, slowly looking around for his partner's figure.

At this time, the white dragon was exercising his abilities in the form of a beast, and in front of him was a huge coral reef rock, and there were already many traces of shattering or perforation.

Sensing the approach of his partner, Ao Bai turned around to meet him.

"Ji Mo, why did you wake up so quickly today? How does your shoulder feel? He quickly turned into a human form, his strong and powerful arm held up his partner's fishtail, his other hand wrapped around the other party's waist, and kissed the white shoulder in front of him.

"It's not early, I've been like a pig lately, what if the tail doesn't have to degenerate for a long time?" Ji Mo sat relaxed on Ao Bai's arm, swinging the fishtail leisurely.

Ao Bai carried him and swam home, "Pig? Do you mean the purr? How is it possible, the purr is such an unbearable beast, and you are the best-looking mermaid in the ocean. ”

In order to show his praise, he bowed his head and gave Ao Bai a long and passionate kiss, and finally bit his chin slightly, successfully making his dragon smile satisfied and happy.

"Hahaha~ You can just talk to me about this kind of thing in the future, but don't say it to other people, lest they laugh at you again for having no vision and actually falling in love with the clownfish." Ji Mo joked with his black fishtail without any guilt.

Ao Bai was a little embarrassed, because when he first saw Ji Mo, he honestly evaluated him: Oh, is it a clownfish?

"You're the best-looking mermaid, and my vision is the best." Ao Bai said proudly that although he did think that Ji Mo was special at that time, he just liked this cheerful, kind and optimistic special mermaid.

"Tut-tut~ Forget it, it's up to you." Ji Mo slapped Ao Bai's thigh with a fishtail.

"Uncle Hu still hasn't woken up, I went to see him again just now, it seems that he has really entered hibernation. Ao Bai, you go and move a few rocks to block his door, and then remove it when the warm season comes. There are too many ferocious sharks in the deep sea, and I don't know if they eat turtles or not. Ji Mo cares about their only neighbor very much, and every day when he goes out, he will go out to the reef cave next door to have a look.

Ao Bai agreed, "Okay. Ferocious sharks generally do not eat turtles because their shells are very hard. But if they're hungry, let alone turtles, they'll attack me. ”

He put the mermaid back on the bed again, in fact, if it weren't for Ji Mo's strong opposition, Ao Bai would probably have sealed the doors and windows with water curtains, and hid and closed his mermaid tightly.

"Hello~ I'm not sleepy at all now!" Ji Mo flapped his tail with a headache, and now he finally understood what he had done wrong:

When Ao Bai was seriously injured, he also very forcefully asked him to maintain the dragon form and lie on the bed to recuperate, and even if he moved a few more times, he couldn't help but nag a few words, and he very much hoped that his partner could lie quietly and let his body recover as quickly as possible.

Feng Shui turns around......

"Don't move, watch your shoulders, don't shake your tail around anymore." Ao Bai directly pressed the lower half of the mermaid's body and conscientiously implemented his comprehensive captivity plan.

Ji Mo struggled to struggle, but still didn't give his tail to □□, once his dragon made up his mind to use brute force to suppress it, he couldn't escape once.

"I'm hurting my shoulder, not my tail! Ao Bai, you let go first, it's very uncomfortable for me to be motionless like this. "It seems that the hard ones won't work, so try soft words and it won't work.

Ao Bai was also lying on the bed, and he had been tired until he had come home lately. As for the ability control of water and ice, the objects he used to train his hands were the reefs on the bottom of the sea, the seagrass that drifted with the currents, and the very small fish and shrimp that were very fast. The experience of being suppressed and teased by the Eagle Clan that day was so bad that he couldn't be idle when he thought about it, and all his anger turned into motivation for exercise.

"Nope." In the face of the mermaid's unreasonable demands, Ao Bai expressed his attitude with two simple words.

"Hey! Let go! The more he couldn't move, the more he wanted to move, the rebellious nerves in Ji Mo's body began to become active, his tail was suppressed, his hands couldn't move, and he simply hit Ao Bai with his head.

After a dull bang~, Ao Bai turned his head and glared at the mermaid, with a smile in his eyes, and then he fixed Ji Mo's head by the way.

"Don't make a fuss, if you make any more fuss, I'll lock you up at home." There was also a faint threat in Ao Bai's reassuring tone.

“……”

After thinking for a while, the crossing fish quieted down for the sake of freedom.

"Alas~" This is Ji Mo's obviously unfinished sigh.

Ao Bai immediately cooperated intimately and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Here are the two of them, they are already very familiar with each other's personalities, Ao Bai is actually a male who loves his partner very much, he is never willing to be wronged or snub Ji Mo, unless Ji Mo wants to do something he resolutely opposes.

Ji Mo cleared his throat: "Ahem~ My tail is particularly uncomfortable, you are too hard." ”

"Well, what about now?" At this time, Ao Bai pressed the mermaid's tail with one leg, and he immediately relaxed a little after hearing the complaint.

"Okay Ao Bai, I was joking with you just now, and I promise not to move again, so, can you take your legs away?" Ji Mo's eyes were very sincere.

"Huh?"

"I swear."

"Okay." Ao Bai finally stopped teasing his mermaid, he withdrew his legs, closed his eyes and smiled, his side face was particularly handsome.

"I don't know how Xitu is now, I hope he has returned to the tribe, Ao Yang can't keep detaining him, right? Bullying a cub is too much. Ji Mo stopped playing around and got down to business.

"It's hard to say, Ao Yang is not an ordinary dragon." Ao Bai said cautiously that he was actually very curious, because in his mind, the behavior of a dragon leaving the sea to insist on fighting for territory with the land orcs was really incredible.

Ji Mo wondered, "We have asked Xitu to convey our invitation, but Ao Yang has not appeared until now, and I don't know if he disdains, disgusts, or hates the sea orcs. If I were a dragon, I could have a good life in any part of the sea, so why live in a freshwater lake in fear and watch out for the orcs nearby? ”

Ao Yang, what a strange dragon.

"I can't figure it out either." Ao Bai sighed, "Ao is the surname of the royal dragon of the sea area, which means that his background is definitely not low, if nothing else, Ao Yang will also have his own sealing sea." As long as the dragon males do not make any unforgivable mistakes, they will be assigned a piece of the sea that they are guarding, and the specific location range depends on the favored Cheng dù. You see, when my father and queen mother gave me the Sicilian Sea, I could not even take shape, and a dragon like me would not be deprived of the right to seal the sea—"

"The reason why the Father and Queen Mother gave you the Sicilian Sea must be because you are strong enough." Ji Mo interrupted, he didn't want to hear Ao Bai talk about his former self in such a tone, "If it is given to a dragon who has no ability, he will be scared away by the fierce sharks and land orcs here when he swims over." ”

Ao Bai didn't refute, he knew that his partner had always been special to protect himself.

"Thank you Ji Mo, I will never be scared away by ferocious sharks and land orcs. I swear that you and your children will live in peace in the Sicilian Sea than in the East China Sea! ”

*****

The orcs of the Raptor tribe spread their wings and prepared to fly back to the tribe.

"Hmph~ Those cowardly beasts are also worthy of being called warriors?" Scar said annoyedly.

Their tribe used so many animal skins, dried meat and preserved fruits every time, but they could only exchange them for a few pitiful little pearls, and as the patriarch, he was really under great pressure.

"That's it! To be afraid of a dragon is to be afraid of a dragon, what excuse do you make? It's the cold season, it's the blizzard, and it's the beasts, and we're not afraid of the raptor tribe! ”

With reluctance and relying on their ability to fly, a group of resentful Eagle Orcs specially went around the sky above the holy lake to look down.

They were amazed by what they saw: the dragon had left the lake and had taken on a human form, wearing a fur dress? He was crouching on the shore of the lake to handle his prey, and there was a female and a cub next to him?

And most importantly, the three of them get along very well?

The orcs of the Raptor tribe looked at it in a daze, and were very shocked.

A new idea suddenly occurred to Scar's head, and he roared angrily:

"Damn Higg! Damn the tribe of beasts! They lied to us, they simply deliberately sent a female to the dragon, and after winning the dragon's favor, the female will get countless pearls from the dragon! ”
