"What?" Ji Mo asked nervously and in surprise.

――Isn't the Sicilian Sea a well-known nest of ferocious beasts in the sea? Even this place is the site of the dragons' orcs coming of age trials; The Sicilian continent is the territory of the sworn enemies of the sea orcs, which daring dragon dares to run to the land to wander, oh no, looking at the angry expression of the little tiger cub, that dragon must not be simply "here for a visit", it should be to go wild and provoke.

There was no way, he and Ao Bai had just arrived in the Sicilian Sea, and they didn't know which dragons had come here to participate in the adult trial before.

Ao Bai's tense face finally eased, he was worried that this cub would hide such an important matter from them, and frankly, it would make Bailong feel disappointed.

"Have you seen him?" Ao Bai asked gently, in fact, he and the mermaid were thinking the same now - there must be some stubborn dragon orc from the sea who came to the Sicilian Sea to participate in the adult trial, and then couldn't resist the curiosity to go ashore and touch the territory of the land orcs.

Xitu said aggrievedly: "Yes, he lives in the holy lake of our dense forest, and he almost drowned me......

- Wow rub! A naughty dragon who bullies a little tiger cub?

"Uh~ Xitu, can you sue me, why does that dragon want to ...... What about the one that drowned you? Ji Mo tried his best to appease the little tiger cub, he inexplicably had a feeling of weakness, and always felt that it was his own people who bullied other people's children, and now the child came to the door crying and complaining.

Xitu cheered up now, he felt that Ao Bai and Ji Mo seemed to have a way to help him out of the siege, he immediately cheered up, 1510, painted voices, and supplemented actions from time to time to better tell the process of being threatened by the evil dragon and finally imprisoned when he participated in the Little Orc Jungle Trial, focusing on the thrilling scene when he was almost drowned.

Ao Bai and Ji Mo listened to it, and their expressions were wrong: that dragon, that dragon is really incomprehensible, is there such a special dragon in the ocean?

"His name is Ao Yang?" Ji Mo's face was confirmed to Xitu, but his eyes looked at Bai Long inquiringly, meaning: Do you know that guy Ao Yang? What kind of sea is such an adventurous dragon?

The little tiger cub nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I specifically asked him, and he said that his name is Ao Yang." After he finished speaking, he also looked at Ao Bai with expectation, and appealed earnestly in his heart: Is it your brother? Is it your friend? If so, let him leave our sacred lake, the dragon that threatens to drown us land orcs every day!

Facing the two hot eyes, Ao Bai still shook his head calmly, "I've never heard of a dragon named Ao Yang before, but the ocean is so big and the four seas are so far apart, maybe it's a dragon orc in a remote sea." ”

"But, but, he looks like you." Xitu continued to fight, he felt that only dragons could suppress dragons, who let Ao Yang live in the holy lake? As long as the dragon doesn't leave the water, the land orcs can't do anything about him, and that dragon is so powerful.

Ji Mo asked: "It's very similar?" What does Ao Yang look like? "Crossing the fish thought to himself, the scales and eye colors of the two dragons are still relatively difficult to match, not to mention that my Ao Bai is such a handsome silver-white dragon.

"His scales are also white, and his appearance is very similar to Ao Bai's, but his eyes are brown—oh yes, when he becomes a human, his face looks very similar to Ao Bai's, except that his hair and eyes are brown." ”

Ao Bai also began to be slightly curious, after all, among the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and the dragon orcs he had seen, his own silver-white scales were still relatively rare.

"Is that actually the case? However, you have to see it with your own eyes to find out. Ji Mo said cautiously. Of course, he didn't plan to take the initiative to go ashore to see, how dangerous it was, the sea orcs left the sea like a stranded shark, they could only flutter helplessly, looking scary but without combat effectiveness.

"Ao Yang~" Ao Bai Youzai recalled carefully and carefully, and made sure that the other party was at least not the dragon clan of the East China Sea, and he basically had an impression of the dragons of the East China Sea.

Xitu said anxiously, "Then, won't you take him back to the sea?" "Take him back to the ocean, so I can go home, or he will ask me to go to the holy lake to talk to him......

Ji Mo flicked his tail in embarrassment, and carefully and patiently explained:

"Xitu, listen to me first, the Ao Yang you are talking about, I don't know Ao Bai, and according to what you said, Ao Yang has not just landed on the continent from the Sicilian Sea, he has been living in your holy lake for a long time, and has even fought countless times with the orcs of the Sicilian East Continent and the West Continent, and it is estimated that the hatred has been very deep!" Alas~ Where did the dragon come from so bold and eclectic, and he actually singled out the orc warriors of the entire Sicilian continent!

After a pause, Ji Mo saw the corners of the little tiger cub's mouth and ears and tail that were obviously drooping, and he couldn't bear it, so he could only analyze it in depth to tell him about his and Ao Bai's sufferings:

"Xitu, if you want Ao Bai and me to go ashore and bring that Ao Yang back to the sea, it is probably impossible, because we judge that Ao Yang has been an adult for a long time, and he is very strong, and he has a very bad temper - you know, Ao Bai and I have always lived in the sea, in fact, our hometown did not even have many islands before, so we have never set foot in the land forest, and we are worried that we will run into your people."

Ao Bai also nodded, and he said more frankly: "Xitu, in fact, Ji Mo and I have just come to the Sicilian Sea, and we don't dare to leave the sea at will, because our strength and strengths can only be expressed in the sea. ”

I'm sorry, but I can't put my life and that of my partner at risk to the land orcs.

The little tiger cub understands these truths, of course he also knows Ji Mo and Ao Bai's fear and defense of the Sicilian continent, and rashly asks the two ocean orcs to go ashore, in fact, he ignores the safety of the two of them, and when he thinks of this, Xitu's face is full of shame and apology.

"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who embarrassed you. However, I really don't want to go back to the Holy Lake to chat with Ao Yang, my home is in the tribe......"

――Poof~What?

Ji Mo hurriedly asked: "No, that, Xitu, you have successfully escaped now, what are you going back for?" "What nonsense is this little tiger cub talking about.

Ao Bai also built him: "Since your tribe is so far away from that lake, and there is not only that water source, then it is better to follow your previous practice and try to stay away from the holy lake, why fight with Ao Yang and lose both?" ”

Only then did Xitu react, he had just forgotten to say his biggest trouble, and then he hurriedly added in a panic:

"Oh, of course I don't want to go back, but Ao Yang said that if I don't go back on time, he will catch all the orcs passing by the sacred lake and drown!"

Traversal Fish found this too incomprehensible, and he sneered, "Is he scaring you?" Are you going back? ”

"No, he's not scaring me, he's serious. I now know that the warriors of the tribe who set off to hunt the "fierce beasts" in the holy lake were actually killed by Ao Yang. Xitu said very solemnly.

Ji Mo thought for a while and tried to help find a way to deal with it: "Xitu, it's better to be like this, you and your mother and father secretly hide for a while." I still feel that Ao Yang is scaring you, because as long as he is a sea orc, he will not dare to leave the water lightly, since Ao Yang can live in the dense forest for so long, he must pay more attention to this aspect, otherwise he will be slaughtered by your warriors early in the morning, because the beast form of the dragon is not suitable for fighting on land at all. ”

The little tiger cub still shook his head in frustration, "No. At first, I thought that it would be fine for my people not to go near the sacred lake to hunt, but I finally realized that even if my people only appeared by the river, as long as Ao Yang thought, I saw him jump into the river and disappear that day. ”

My God~ That dragon is really, really arrogant, and he actually pulled the hatred of the entire Orc tribe of the Sicilian Continent without fear! Is it disgusting that life is too dull......

Ji Mo patted his head frantically, and stopped talking to the little tiger cub, but the other party's point of view that he could insist on keeping his word at a young age and not affecting innocent people was right, and the crossing fish couldn't persuade him, "It's okay Xitu, you just take care of yourself and hide, don't worry about Ao Yang's threat!" "This kind of obviously selfish words, that would be teaching a bad child, he can't do that.

He felt guilty because he couldn't help the little tiger cub.

Frankly speaking, Ji Mo felt that Ao Yang's strength was above Ao Bai, that guy was able to forcibly occupy the holy lake of the Sicilian Continent, and bravely repelled the siege and sneak attack of countless land orc warriors, Ao Yang was not an idle person - the most important thing is that listening to Xitu, Ao Yang's personality is still very grotesque, withdrawn, moody, and a problem dragon, he is likely to have some special encounters.

If you want to help, you have to weigh your own strength, but this time you really have more than enough power.

Ao Bai listened quietly for a long time, and then suddenly said:

"It's okay, you go back to the Holy Lake on time. Since Ao Yang didn't kill you at the beginning and was willing to let you go home, it means that he has let go of his murderous intentions towards you; Judging from your description, the land orcs who were killed and wounded before took the initiative to attack him, which is why he resisted angrily - as for why the dragon lived on the continent and did not want to return to the sea, we can't figure it out. ”

Xitu was actually not so afraid, because Ao Yang didn't want to drown him later, he was just unwilling and aggrieved, after all, he lived in the tribe before, why did you Ao Yang insist that I go to the holy lake to chat with you?

Ji Mo only felt helpless:

The patriarch and warriors of the Eastern Continent did not agree to make the decision to slay the dragon again for the sake of a cub in the tribe, from the perspective of the tribe's stability, it is irreproachable, after all, Ao Yang is so powerful, if more than half of the warriors who participated in the dragon slaying operation are killed or injured, then who will protect the clansmen?

In order to keep his promise and not affect his own people, Xitu is not willing to run away with his mother and father without permission, which is also right, he is a very responsible little orc.

Ao Yang lives alone in the holy lake, insisting on leaving the little tiger cub to talk to him, although this is not right, but from the perspective of personal strength, no one can stop him.

When Ji Mo racked his brains to think of the end, he could only look at Xitu sympathetically, and said silently in his heart: Actually, you are just unlucky, you got lost and actually broke into Ao Yang's territory, fortunately, the other party softened and didn't really drown you, otherwise ...... today

The three of them were silent for each other, and Xitu finally spoke helplessly:

"I will go back, he only gave me three days. He's a dragon, but I can't keep my word, or the beast god will punish me. I just don't know how to tell my mother and father, he has been guarding me for the past few days since I came back, and today I came here secretly under the pretext of picking fruit. Xi Tuqing said very lowly that what had happened recently was obviously beyond his capacity, and the little tiger cub looked distressing.

Ji Mo wanted to blurt out several times: Why don't you take your mother and father to live on our island! But turning his head to look at the young and handsome Ao Bai who had just become an adult next to him, his impulsive words were held back: Ao Bai is his partner in life and the father of his future children, if he is now confronted with the powerful Ao Yang because of his blind impulse, he will definitely regret and commit suicide if something happens.

Ao Bai walked over and patted the little tiger cub on the shoulder, encouraging him again: "Don't be afraid, that dragon is just too lonely, so I want you to talk to him, and he is willing to help you prepare food, this is a very rare kindness, you just don't anger him...... I'm sorry Xitu, but I don't have a way to go ashore and walk into the holy lake to help you stop Ao Yang. ”

Anyway, I let this cub down today.

Ji Mo didn't know what to say, a good little orc was coerced by the dragon, and he could only teach Xitu in a low voice:

"Xitu, if you really decide to keep your promise to go back to the Holy Lake, remember not to be impulsive, to learn to be patient, I heard you say, Ao Yang is not by nature to like to kill, he is just a little withdrawn and domineering...... Alas~ In short, you must be careful. He couldn't go on after only a few words, in fact, he couldn't help but hope that Xitu wouldn't go back.

Xitu said strongly: "Thank you Ji Mo, I remember, in fact, Ao Yang is not so bad, he will remember to catch fish for me to eat every day, I hope that in the future he can also agree to let me go home often to see my mother and father - just take it as my early adult trial, the holy lake is in the depths of the dense forest, surrounded by large fierce beasts, I must become a warrior of the tiger clan as soon as possible!" ”

Ao Bai patted him on the shoulder again, "You are now, the little orc warrior of the Tiger Clan." After thinking about it, he spoke slowly:

"Xitu, you go back and tell Sù Ao Yang that the white dragon of the Sicilian Sea and his partner are willing to invite him to Fenghai to play." Forget it, since you have decided to live in the Sicilian Sea forever, sooner or later you will meet Ao Yang, it is better to invite him generously, and you can't hide it for long.

Ji Mo looked at Ao Bai worriedly, in fact, he hoped that his partner could hone for a longer time before thinking about seeing that strange dragon, after all, it was unusual for a dragon to live in the dense forest on land for so long, he was worried that Ao Yang would have any prejudice against his clan, otherwise why did he choose to avoid living on land? The battles of this world can be bloody.

"Don't worry, as long as it's not a fight for mates, dragon orcs generally won't kill each other." Ao Bai whispered to comfort his mermaid, he still had some vague expectations, thinking that Ao Yang might be able to become the first guardian dragon to join the Sicilian Sea.

"Okay, Xitu, you sue sù Ao Yang like this! Sicily cannot be just the two of us forever. Ji Mo took a deep breath and said cautiously.

*****

Tomorrow he was about to return to the Holy Lake, and Xitu was lying on the familiar wooden bed at home, so sad that he couldn't speak, and his mother and father Qingzhe roasted him fragrant meat, and he couldn't eat it.

"Xitu? Hitto? Why don't you eat barbecue, is it because your stomach is upset? Qingzhe pushed open the wooden door and walked in, sitting behind the cub curled up with his back to him with his back with concern, gently stroking his back and asking.

Xitu heard his mother's gentle voice, and curled up even more, he really didn't know how to tell his mother and father that he was leaving home again tomorrow.

"Xitu, I know you're not asleep, is something going on?" Qingzhe asked patiently, since his partner Xige resolutely chose to leave, raising this cub is almost all the motivation for him to live.

The little tiger cub felt that his arm was constantly being gently caressed, which was the action of his mother and father to coax him to sleep since he was a child.

"Well, no matter what it is, Mother and Father won't blame you, can you say it now?" Qing Zhe's coaxing voice had a sly smile, he thought that the cub had done something wrong again, and he was afraid that he would not dare to say it if he was angry. If it's not surprising, it's usually a little orc fight today.

The little tiger cub slowly began to weep, and now he was lying on the warm and comfortable animal skin cushion at home, and his mother and father were coaxing him incessantly, and he really did not want to go back to sleep alone in the grass nest by the holy lake......

"Mother and father~" Xitu choked up and opened his mouth, and decided to tell him the news of leaving, if he disappeared again for no reason, his mother and father would probably be in a hurry, and he would not have to eat many pearls.

"Well, you can say it, it's okay, my mother and father have promised not to blame you." Qing Zhe patted his tiger cub lovingly, recalling the thin limbs of Xitu when he was born, and the appearance of constantly closing his eyes and constantly leaning into his arms, feeling that all the hard work was worth it.

Xitu turned around, suddenly stopped and hugged the waist of the tiger female and began to whimper loudly:

"Mother and father ~ Xitu is leaving again, Xitu is leaving again tomorrow......"

Qing Zhe was stunned, he hugged the little tiger cub's head, originally thinking that he would hear the news of "Mother and father, I fought with that wolf/stupid bear/that lion again" today.

"What? Where are you going tomorrow? Qing Zhe asked nervously, his little tiger has had accidents one after another these days, and his heart is about to be anxious as a mother and father.

No one told Sù Qingzhe about Xitu being imprisoned by the dragon last time, everyone just told him: Xitu left with the wolf orc Wolf who went to the dense forest for the adult trial that day, and the little cub refused to return to the tribe, so that Wolf almost failed to pass the adult trial! After being told by the patriarch, Wolf naturally agreed, and Qing Zhe naturally led his disobedient little tiger cub to find Wolf and apologized sincerely for a long time.

"Mother, father, there is an evil dragon that tells me to go to the holy lake tomorrow to chat with him......" Xitu buried himself in his mother's father's arms and roughly told him what had happened, because he didn't know when he would be back tomorrow, and it would be bad if his mother and father kept waiting.

"Mother and father, Xitu doesn't dare to go back alone...... I'm afraid that Ao Yang will kill me in anger......" At the end, the little tiger cub could no longer pretend to be brave and strong.

Qing Zhe didn't come to his senses after listening to it for a long time, he hugged his tiger cub tightly with a complicated expression, and instinctively comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xitu, Mother and father won't let you face the evil dragon alone, don't be afraid." ”

It turned out that the "fierce beast" of the holy lake in the mouth of the tribal warriors was actually a dragon? That dragon is so hateful that it actually embarrasses a little orc so excessively!

Xitu secretly took out a few pearls from the animal skin mattress and stuffed them into his mother's and father's hands, for the reason that he had thought about it early in the morning:

"Mother, father, this is the pearl that the dragon gave me, you remember to hide it, and when you feel uncomfortable, take out a smashed powder stew broth and drink it." Anyway, they are all dragons, Ao Bai and Ji Mo can't say it, so it's better to say that it was given by the evil dragon, and no one knows anyway.

Qing Zhe was still a little skeptical, but now looking at the pearls in his hand, he had to believe it: all the pearls in the tribe are under the care of the patriarch's partner, they are all very small, and all the young ones taken out by his own cubs are big, round and shiny, if it wasn't given by Ao Yang, how did it come about?

"Xitu, don't be afraid, your mother and father won't let you return to the Holy Lake alone, I'll go back with you!" Qing Zhe said very resolutely, when he heard that his tiger cub was almost drowned by the evil dragon, his heart was almost broken, now that he knew, how could he be willing to let him go back again to face Ao Yang alone? He couldn't stand it when he thought about it.

The little tiger cub was stunned, and then shook his head frantically: "No, no! Mother and father, if you stay at home, I will come back to see you often, Ao Yang didn't embarrass me much later, you can't go! ”

"Don't talk about it, mother and father, let's clean up, and we'll go to the holy lake together tomorrow! Don't think you've snuck away, or you'll have to go into the jungle alone. Qing Zhe said without fear and concession, the little tiger is one of his qiē, even if it is an evil dragon, he is not afraid!

*****

So, when Ao Yang got up early that day and waited for the little orc to return as promised, he actually found that the little tiger cub had walked out of the bushes in his territory, and then ...... Another female coming out?
