"Ao Yang, we're back on time." Xitu stepped out of the bushes first, keeping his mother and father behind, and looked at the evil dragon floating quietly in the center of the sacred lake, and shouted with some anxiety, he still carried a huge burden on his back.

Qing Zhe did not flinch, he calmly brushed aside the nervous and scared tiger cub in front of him, and instead stood in front of himself, lifting the burden behind him by the way, and bravely greeted the silent evil dragon in the distance:

"Hello Ao Yang, I am Xitu's mother's father, I heard my cub say that you like to chat with him very much, and often catch fish for him to eat, thank you."

- Is this a dragon? Is this the dragon of the sea? Will he roar like crazy and rush over and tear us apart the next moment? It doesn't matter~ As long as Xitu is not alone, I will accompany him no matter what happens.

Ao Yang was a little unhappy, he thought to himself I obviously only allowed your little black cub to come back alone, what is the matter with one more now? This is my territory! However, the female was quite bold......

"Ao Yang, you don't have to bother taking care of me in the future, my mother and father will take good care of me." Xitu still cautiously held on to his mother and father, and from time to time out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the bushes behind him, where were a few warriors such as Father Rui and Ang Keqiao, the gray wolf, who escorted the mother and son to the holy lake.

Qing Zhe sincerely spoke again: "Ao Yang, don't worry, I just came here to take care of my cubs." Swear to the beast god、I, Qingzhe, have absolutely no other intentions! "What's going on? Is it because the dragon has been silent that he is simmering his anger?

Xitu cautiously spoke: "Ao Yang, if you don't agree with my mother and father coming over, then I'll let him go back to the tribe now, don't be angry." After saying that, the little tiger cub desperately dragged his mother and father back, trying to take him out and let Yafu and Joe help them send him home.

No, no! This dragon has such a strange temper that I must not let my cub face him alone.

"Xitu, fight for it again." Qing Zhe soothed the little tiger cub.

Not far from the Holy Lake, Rui and Joe and a few other powerful and kind orc warriors were waiting quietly, this escort operation was actually their personal decision, and it had nothing to do with the tribe. As the warriors of the tribe, this holy lake and the evil dragon in the lake are not the first time they have met, and the two sides have actually had many life-and-death conflicts, for no other reason - their own territory actually let a dragon in the ocean occupy a piece, which is a huge insult to all the orcs in the territory.

"Ao Yang, don't worry, I won't disturb you, if I take care of you, won't you have more time to chat?" Qing Zhe gritted his teeth and spoke again, his voice was always gentle and unhurried, and at this time he also slightly prayed.

The little tiger cub was still very afraid that the dragon would suddenly get angry, although they were far away now, but last time he ran farther, and the result was not tied back by the opponent's water rope.

"Forget Ao Yang, my mother and father just sent me here this time, and now he is about to return to the tribe." Xitu unilaterally notified, and then dragged Qing Zhe's waist back with brute force, the strength of the half-big tiger cub was not small, and Qing Zhe immediately walked back involuntarily.

"Xitu!" Qingzhe tried hard to comfort the tiger cub, "Xitu! Let's wait, Ao Yang is not angry, you don't have to worry about me, mother and father can't leave you here alone, really, I can't let you stay here alone......"

Ao Yang was angry before, so he was stunned and didn't speak, but then he looked at the mother and father of the little black cub who had not expressed fear, but kept expressing his willingness to stay together and face his "evil dragon", his mood was very delicate.

- As for why he knew that Xitu had been secretly calling himself an "evil dragon" behind his back, it was because the tiger cub had angrily shouted "Ao Yang is an evil dragon" in his sleep several times! The most hateful! ”……

"Let them go at once, or stay all." Ao Yang looked coldly in the direction behind the bushes and said that he had known that there were several adult male orcs hiding behind him.

Xitu looked at his mother and father, and then turned his head to look at the bushes, "Mother and father, you go out quickly, let Ya Father and them send you back, the evil dragon never jokes!" ”

Qingzhe has a slender body, because he was seriously ill before, so he is still a little thin, he has honey-colored skin, handsome facial features, and bright black eyes.

"Ao Yang~ I'm really just here to take care of Xitu, and it will definitely not affect you anything, please believe me, okay?" Qing Zhe did not give up and continued to lobby the big dragon in front of him, although the other party's beast form looked strange and powerful, and he was very threatening and aggressive, and his eyes were still very unfriendly, but in order to be able to accompany his tiger cub, Qing Zhe tried his best to ignore the fear in his heart.

Rui and Joe gathered behind the bushes and discussed anxiously, "What does the evil dragon mean?" Alas~ Qingzhe is coming! "You're just a weak female, it's not enough for people to be pinched to death in a dragon's claw.

"He's the mother and father of Xitu, where is there a female who doesn't love her cubs?" Rui's worried and emotional tone couldn't hide his admiration.

Joe said sarcastically, "yes, the female who doesn't love the cubs hasn't been found yet, but the male has one." "Hmph~ The kind of beast father who is also worthy of being a cub?

The orc warriors present were all tacitly disdainful, and their faces were full of disdain and contempt.

Most of the people agreed with the decision not to slay the dragon made at the tribal warrior conference before, private feelings are private feelings, tribes are tribes, and the orc tribes in the Eastern Continent have lost a lot of warriors in several battles with Ao Yang before, seeing that the cold season is coming, and the fierce beasts are about to rush out of the dense forest to wreak havoc, for the stability of the tribe, it is indeed impossible to lose strength lightly.

Either way, you're the beast father of Xitu, and you've said countless times that your favorite female is Qingzhe - but then you abandoned your mate cub and found a new one! Now that such an unfortunate thing has happened to this poor mother and son, you have not even taken the initiative to care about it once, and even in the morning when a few of us proposed to safely escort Qingzhe and Xitu to the holy lake, so many orc warriors in the tribe who knew about it came out to say goodbye worriedly, but you Xige hid at home and didn't come out!

"You can stay, all the orcs hiding behind, and leave my territory immediately!" Ao Yang warned sternly. After staring at the female with the black and moist eyes for a long time, he actually thought that he could leave him to try it first, and if the other party was too annoying, at most he would send it back to his tribe immediately, anyway, he was just a female who was no threat to himself.

-- The most important consideration is that with him, the little black cub will not always cry and beg him to let him go back to the tribe to see his mother and father or something, and he has no good way to take the awkward cub, at most he will repeatedly threaten to drown you and not give you fish to eat.

"Can I stay? Thank you, Aoyang! Qing Zhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the evil dragon in front of him, and at the same time he hurriedly urged behind the bushes urgently:

"Rui, Qiao, Jia, go back quickly, Ao Yang agreed to let me stay, thank you very much, willing to send me and Xitu here, you leave quickly, I'm worried that Ao Yang will be really angry later." Qing Zhe was so grateful that tears gleamed in his eyes, those childhood male and female friends in the tribe really helped him too much.

Xitu's cub's head made him hesitate and struggle for a moment: did the dragon actually agree to let his mother and father stay? Do I still insist on letting my mother and father come home? In fact...... If only my mother and father could stay with me...... However, what if Ao Yang suddenly loses his temper and angers his mother and father one day?

"Qingzhe, Xitu, you have to be careful, the tribe will never forget you, you will always be welcome back, and you will always be grateful for your willingness to take into account the safety of the clansmen and voluntarily come to accompany the evil dragon!" Rui said helplessly, seeing that Xitu was able to make such a decision to embarrass the cub, he was really heartbroken and relieved.

"Ya Father~" The little tiger cub reluctantly called, this silent leopard who silently paid a lot in his growth will be the object of his respectful and filial piety in his life.

Rui said in a deep voice, "Go Xitu, you are the future warrior of the Tiger Clan, even in the face of the evil dragon, you can't be untrustworthy, let alone involve other innocent clansmen, Ya Father will often find a way to come to see you, take care of your mother and father, remember?" ”

Xitu said sadly: "I remember the father, you go quickly, if you don't go again, you will be angry." ”

*****

"Ao Yang, can Xitu and I build a small cabin there? Promise not to take up a lot of your territory, the cold season is coming soon, Xitu is still a cub, he will be frostbitten and sick, so there will be no one to talk to you. Qing Zhe took Xitu's hand and walked over, pointing to a small patch of grass by the lake and cautiously discussing with Ao Yang, both of whom were carrying a big burden behind their backs.

- So, there is one more female and cub in my territory?

The brown-eyed white dragon flicked his tail with some regret and annoyance, and said nonchalantly: "Before, the little black cubs just slept on the grass. "The implication is: you female come here and ask so much, it's really troublesome!

Xitu dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and really wanted to scratch the dragon's claws: That's because I wanted to escape all the time, so I just found a grass nest and rested, but my mother and father are here, do you want to let a female sleep in the grass nest? It's too much!

Qingzhe put the burden on the grass, and by the way, he helped unload the cubs, and naturally hugged his cubs and said: "Uh~ But Xitu he is really still a cub, if it is the warm season, I don't dare to speak, but it will snow in the cold season of the dense forest, how can my cubs still sleep in the grass nest at that time?" As a mother, this tiger female naturally has to work hard to get a better environment for her cubs to grow up.

Ao Yang nodded the little tiger cub with his chin, "You, come over immediately, I have something to ask you!" Then he nodded the female with his chin: "If you want to build a wooden house, you can build it, but you must demolish it for me when you leave, my territory does not need wooden houses." "Females are such troubles, alas~

The little tiger cub was surprised and said, "But how did my mother and father build a wooden house by himself?" I'm sure I'm going to help. ”

As a result, Ao Yang, who was angry because he was annoyed that he had left the female with a soft heart, immediately mobilized his strength and sent out a water rope to tie up the little black cub standing in the distance, ready to ask him something.

"Whew~!" Xitu subconsciously exclaimed.

Qing Zhe was caught off guard and saw that his little tiger was dragged away by the dragon very roughly, he hurriedly chased after it, and shouted in fear: "Ao Yang, don't be angry, if you don't agree, we won't build a wooden house!" Don't hurt my cubs! "Forget it, the wooden house is not a wooden house, let's take a step at a time, Xitu can't have an accident.

This tiger female can also swim, Qing Zhe chased his cub and jumped into the holy lake, swimming forward with all his might, listening to his cub screaming, and then looking at the dragon's obvious unhappy appearance, Qing Zhe's heart beat fast, for fear that Ao Yang really wanted to drown Xitu again.

"Mother and father, don't come here, go back to the shore and wait for me!" Xitu was once again dragged forward by the water rope, and tried to turn back and tell Qing Zhe, he felt that Ao Yang was just dissatisfied with his assertion that he had brought his mother and father over.

Ao Yang pursed his lips and watched the female desperately chasing the little black cub, as if he really wanted to do something to his cub, it was simply inexplicable! He looked at the mother and son in front of him with considerable dissatisfaction, and then mobilized another water rope to tie up Qingzhe and send him back to the shore of the lake and throw him into the grass nest.

Qingzhe fell heavily on the grass and immediately struggled to get to his feet again, the cold water of the lake making him shiver from the cold.

"If you dare to step into my lake without my permission, I'll drown your cub." Ao Yang looked at the female who fell into the grass nest with a straight face, and said that he didn't know why, he didn't choose to say "drown you", but threatened to "drown your cub", but it turned out that the latter obviously scared the female more.

"Good, good! Aoyang, I promise not to set foot in your lake, as long as you don't hurt my cubs! Qingzhe's face turned pale with nervousness, and he quickly promised to swear in a loud voice, for fear of angering the dragon.

The little tiger cub was very sad and heartbroken, because his mother and father were treated so rudely and savagely by the evil dragon.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send my mother and father back to the tribe!" He looked into Ao Yang's eyes and said.

The brown-eyed white dragon took the cub to the middle of the lake, turned into ice cubes and made him stand, and said, "No, he must stay with you, lest you always want to go back to the tribe." "Forget it, just let him stay, it's just a skinny female anyway.

"Ao Yang, my mother and father won't disturb you, don't hurt him, okay? If you hurt him, I'd rather drown with you than talk to you. The little tiger cub stood on the ice and said sternly.

The brown-eyed white dragon was a little helpless, even a little aggrieved, he glared at the huge dragon eyes and said, "That's good." If your father and mother provoke me one day, I will remember to drown you when I want to drown him! "I didn't do anything at all, and it was clear that you brought a female without my permission.

Qing Zhe stood on the shore of the lake and looked out at the center of the lake in fear, but when he saw that the tiger cub was standing on something, looking up at the dragon and the two sides should be talking, he was finally not so worried, the scene just now really scared him - but what did the two of them have to talk about? Xitu is just a cub, how can he know too many things......

After observing uncomfortably for a while, Qing Zhe rubbed his sour eyes and looked at the sky: it was already afternoon.

The female of the tiger clan faced the direction where the cubs in the middle of the lake were waiting, and quickly sorted out the two big burdens that she brought over, which were the animal skin clothes, animal skin mattresses, dried fruits, spices and herbs that were hurriedly packed up last night, as well as a few pieces of dried meat, flints, and some small things.

Not...... I'm not sure if Ao Yang really agreed to let us build a wooden house, but at least we have to build a thatched hut, otherwise we will definitely get sick if we sleep on the grass in the open during this season.

Qing Zhe began to take out the bone knife with his hands and feet, walked to the lush grass not far away and began to cut the grass, and then cut down some small trees of good size.

"What is he doing?" After harshly interrogating the reason why the little tiger cub brought his mother and father over, Ao Yang heard the movement on the shore of the lake, turned his head to look at the unusually busy female and asked.

Xitu said angrily: "Of course, it is a place to live after the construction, how can the female sleep in the open grass nest?" You must know that females are very weak. ”

"Then why don't you let him stay in the tribe?" Ao Yang asked expressionlessly.

The little tiger cub said bitterly, "Of course I don't want my mother and father to come, but he insists on coming, and if I don't bring him with me, my mother and father will sneak into the dense forest to find me." ”

"Hmph~ It must be because you cried too much that the female had no choice but to follow." Ao Yang squinted at the little orc and said that he didn't believe in such a stupid female at all.

*****

Ji Mo and Ao Bai traveled home with complicated feelings.

"You say, will that Ao Yang hurt Xitu?" Ji Mo asked again worriedly, no matter what happened to the other land orcs, that little tiger cub was really very sensible, filial, and lovable.

There was a mermaid sitting on Ao Bai's back, because the bag of herbs could not be soaked in the sea, so Ji Mo could only sit on the dragon's back and lift it as high as possible.

"Don't worry." Ao Bai was very calm, and he explained gently: "First of all, adult orcs generally do not harm cubs and females; Secondly, Ao Yang was willing to prepare food for Xitu, which was a very kind act; In the end, he would definitely not forget that he lived in the territory of the land orcs, and if he killed the local females and cubs for no reason, he would not get any benefit, and it would only make those land orcs hate him even more. ”

Ji Mo's hand holding the animal skin bag became more and more sore, and then he simply put the bag on his head and carried it on his shoulders to relieve the weight on his hands.

"I don't know if Ao Yang will come out when we know the news that we invited him to come out to the Sicilian Sea." The crossing fish said curiously, the Sicilian Sea is so big, it must be better than the lake on land, isn't it the nature of dragons to like to swim in the vast and boundless ocean?

Ao Bai was also unsure, "I never imagined that there would be a dragon who would abandon the sea and live on land, which is completely against the habits of our dragon clan, but the residual smell of Xitu's body tells me that he is not lying, he did encounter another adult dragon." ”

When they finally returned to the island, Ji Mo's hands were so stiff that he couldn't put it down, Ao Bai quickly took the burden, and the two of them went to the beach together, these herbs definitely couldn't be brought back to their homes in the sea for storage.

"Let's put the herbs into this shell first, and then slowly try their effects when we have the chance." Ji Mo carefully opened the animal skin bag, carefully put the herbs inside into a large shell that fit tightly, and then put a larger shell on the outside to ensure that it would not be wet by the rain and dew, and then hid the shell in a small hidden stone cave at the foot of the mountain.

"Ao Bai, we might as well go to that waterhole again and find the turtle Uncle Hu, we were careless before, and we always thought that what Uncle Hu said was nonsense...... Think about it, he mentioned the evil dragon, he also mentioned that the evil dragon looks very similar to you, where are there so many dragons in the Sicilian Sea, it is very likely that Uncle Hu is talking about Ao Yang. Ji Mo sighed and said with a wry smile.

I'm sorry, but we did think that you were old and all we were thinking about making up our own stories, but we didn't think that what you said was actually the truth.

The white dragon nodded, he was extremely interested in Ao Yang's existence, his sealed sea urgently needed to be enriched and strengthened, and the important premise of attracting other sea orcs to come over to live was that there must be enough and powerful dragon orcs in the Sicilian Sea to deter and hunt the sharks and poisons rampant in the sealed sea, otherwise those weak water orcs would not dare to come over because they were afraid of the fierce beasts.

"Okay, let's go up and ask if he knows anything about Ao Yang."

Feeling that the prosperity of the Sicilian Sea saw new hope, Ao Bai and Ji Mo once again climbed the mountain of the island with great expectations.

This time, it was still the same stream as last time, and the husband and wife never let their guard down.

However, when they dived to the bottom of the pool again, they were stunned to see the turtle protector cowering in the corner motionless.

Ji Mo swallowed his saliva quietly and asked his partner cautiously: "Ao Bai, Uncle Hu, what's wrong with him, he, him?" He screamed for a long time without responding, and he didn't move even when he patted lightly, did the turtle sleep too deeply or ...... Ahem, you're sleeping?

"I think he's already starting to hibernate." Ao Bai said helplessly.

The crossing fish cried and laughed and complained: "Started hibernation so early? I remember that the turtle tribes in the East China Sea usually hibernate in the middle of the cold season. "Now the cold season has just seen the head, which means that this Uncle Hu is going to sleep for more than half a year.

Ao Bai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Forget it, maybe it's because he got the wrong time." ”

The husband and wife could not hide their disappointment and dived into the waterhole, because of the arrival of the cold season, the water volume of this stream has begun to slowly decrease, and it can't even cover the bodies of Ji Mo and Ao Bai.

Ao Bai suddenly came out of the stream, looked at the top of the waterhole cliff steadily, and said to his partner resolutely:

"Ji Mo, let's go up and have a look together, okay?"
