44. Reborn: My neighbor is a dragon

"Ao Bai!" Ji Mo looked at the uncontrollable chaotic scene in front of him and didn't know what to do, he watched his partner roll and crash at the mouth of the dangerous waterfall regardless of a single thing, and the surrounding river, grass, bushes and stones fell in all directions, and then, he fell, and the silver-white slender figure disappeared in front of Ji Mo's eyes.

"Ao Bai ~ my God!" Ji Mo quickly chased after him, his mind was racing to think about how to deal with it, if he knew that there would be such consequences after coming up, he would stop Ao Bai no matter what method he used.

After crossing the quiet waters of the U-shaped stone wall, the fish was immediately carried forward by the turbulent water at the mouth of the waterfall, and he had already put all his body and mind on his partner, and he had forgotten to dive to the bottom of the river to hold the stone to stabilize himself.

"Ah~~~" The next moment, Ji Mo also fell down with his head down, his limbs spread wide in mid-air, and he couldn't help but scream.

Puff~

God forbid, Bodhisattva bless, God bless, this mermaid did not fall to the stone wall, he fell into the pool with the current.

Rao is like this, Ji Mo is mermaid will definitely not be drowned, but because of the wrong posture in the water, he is dizzy, nauseous, and tinnitus, and he can't slow down for a while.

At this time, Ao Bai was continuing to roll and crash in the stone wall outside, constantly roaring and roaring, and the scales on his body fell off in large pieces in the collision, and the blood was dripping; The pain in his body was so great that he didn't even notice that his mermaid fell from above, he only knew that the muscles and nerves in his whole body were twitching and constricting violently, and he could only use his body to constantly hit the hard objects around him to make him feel better.

This stream was originally a beautiful natural scenery with flowing water, lush flowers and trees, and songbirds coming and going leisurely, but now it has been destroyed by Ao Bai and a dragon.

On the other side, Ji Mo finally struggled to wake up from the dizziness and tinnitus when he slowly sank halfway to the bottom of the pool uncontrollably, and he immediately used his hands and feet to swim upstream, anxiously trying to find his dragon.

"Hey~ What the hell are you doing? I can't sleep properly! At this moment, an old, low, and slightly angry voice came from below.

Ji Mo hurriedly lowered his head to look: "Uncle Hu? Aren't you hibernating? He saw the old turtle cowering at the bottom of the pool to avoid the dragon, and he was slowly waving his limbs and paddling the water, and from time to time small pebbles fell into the water below.

- Poseidon! How long has it been since you moved?

"I'll tell you later, I'm in a hurry now, and I'm out of company." Ji Mo didn't have the patience to wait for the other party's slow speed to swim to his side, and hurriedly greeted him and swam up flexibly first.

After Ji Mo came out of the water, he immediately climbed up the smooth stone wall with agility and looked around: "Ao Bai! ”

Then, at the bend of the stream below, he spotted the white dragon curled up abnormally, Ao Bai was still gently moving, making a □□ of unknown meaning, and the bloody back made his heart shrink violently and his eyes hot.

"What's wrong with you, Ao Bai, don't scare me~" Ji Mo's straw sandals had long since fallen somewhere, and at this time, he didn't care about the stones of different shapes under his feet, and ran over quickly.

"Ao Bai~ How are you? Can you hear me? Ji Mo choked and asked cautiously, he knelt behind the curled up white dragon, not daring to reach out to touch the other party's shocking back that had lost the protection of its scales.

The white dragon's tail was the most badly injured, and almost all the scales were gone, but he still kept flapping, looking extremely agitated.

Ji Mo looked at the huge stone in front of him, and then at his partner who was hiding his head with his back to him, he leaned over and looked down from the top of the stone wall, and immediately his heart ached - Ao Bai's head and face were even more injured, and the blood was still flowing down, and it was still flowing down, one by one, into the still muddy stream.

"Ao Bai~ Don't be afraid, I'm Ji Mo, can you turn back first? Let me see how you're hurt......" The thought in the heart of the crossing fish at this time was: I swore that I would never let Ao Bai set foot on this mountain again in the future, and that poisonous plant must be destroyed! Non-negotiable destruction! That damn killing thing!

Bai Long had recovered a little at this time, his mouth tasted the taste of his own blood, and his nose was full of blood, but fortunately, there was no Ji Mo, it was all mine...... He could feel that his head was badly injured, so he hesitated and didn't dare to turn back, worried that his mermaid would be scared and worried when he saw it.

After experiencing the painful torture of the non-dragon and the catharsis of self-harm, the white dragon finally quieted down from exhaustion—why did I eat that red fruit? He didn't quite know why, as if he had to eat it for granted, and he didn't hesitate at all.

"Ao Bai, are you out of strength? Come, I'll help you turn around, how do you feel now? Is there something strange flying and jumping in front of you? Do you have strange sensations in your ears, eyes, nose? After observing for a long time, Ji Mo finally found that Bailong's abdomen was relatively intact, he immediately put his hand on it, and continued to gently caress and comfort him, while asking the other party if he would have symptoms such as hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and sensory failures after poisoning.

After feeling the warm and gentle touch of the mermaid on his abdomen, the white dragon let out a □□ of guilt and pain, and he felt that his whole body was in pain.

"Huh? What did you say? Be louder, don't be afraid, I'll take you home right away and have a good rest. Ji Mo thought of the packet of herbs sent by the little tiger cub, and what made him sad was that he originally thought that he was just looking after the family and trying it when he had the opportunity, but who knew that it would come in handy so soon!

Ao Bai said tiredly: "I'm sorry Ji Mo, I don't know why I ate it." He finally slowly stretched out and was no longer tightly curled.

Ji Mo's expression almost didn't stop the moment he saw his partner's face, and he squeezed out a smile with a crying face to comfort his dragon: "Okay, there is no need to mention that matter, I know I can't blame you...... I'm sorry, I should have stopped you no matter what, I regret it so much now, I really ......" When the crossing fish said at the end, his facial features were distorted with remorse, and he really hoped that when he turned back time, the sea god could give him another chance to choose.

"Don't cry, I'm fine now." The white dragon raised his head and leaned over and gently licked the mermaid's red and swollen eyes.

Ji Mo took advantage of the situation to hug the white dragon's head and asked him nervously, "Can you turn into a human form?" Oh no, you shouldn't be in human form now, the beast form can recover faster! Is there anything special about it? ”

Ao Bai nodded, "I'm going to keep this form for a while, I'm just tired, and I don't have any special feelings, don't worry about me." ”

"Is there really not? Didn't you see anything strange or hear a strange sound? Ji Mo asked again and again worriedly, afraid that the damn fruit had a strong hallucinogenic effect, or would damage nerves or something.

The white dragon rested his head on the mermaid's shoulder uncontrollably, slowly closed his eyes, and said weakly, "I only saw that you were scared and heard that you cared about me." Ji Mo, I want to sleep for a while before going home. He had only felt the exhaustion he had felt on the night of his last transformation.

"Wait! Can you spit it out? Can you spit out what you just ate? Ji Mo spoke without giving up, but who knew that Bai Long's head gradually sank, and finally leaned completely on his shoulder.

"Alas~"

The mermaid sighed, trying to put the white dragon's head on her waist and abdomen, "Okay, you sleep, we are not in a hurry to go home." ”

After the white dragon slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, Ji Mo lowered his head without hesitation, and carefully helped his partner lick the wounds on his head and face, hoping to make him get better soon.

- I really want to take him down the mountain, it's always not safe to stay here......

It's a pity that Ao Bai is now in the shape of a dragon and is injured, and the most important thing is that it is just a narrow and shallow river in front of him, and he can't drag the white dragon down the mountain at all.

It was only then that the turtle guard slowly climbed up the stone wall, but fortunately his legs were long enough and strong, otherwise he would have to get stuck in the waterhole.

After squinting his eyes and getting used to it for a long time, he dared to open his eyes under the daylight of day, "O sea god! What's going on? Is the storm coming? ”

Not far downstream, Ji Mo, who was leaning against the stone wall and holding the white dragon, responded when he heard this: "No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you to rest, Uncle Hu." ”

The turtle walked awkwardly downstream on its stout four legs, "Oh~ It's okay, I've woken up today." ”

Ji Mo replied absentmindedly: "Hmm." At this time, he very much wanted to go down the mountain to bring up the herbs and pick a few for the white dragon to use, but he didn't dare to let his partner stay alone on this barren mountain.

After a period of squabbling, the turtle guard poked his head out from behind the stone wall, his neck quite long.

"Hey, what's wrong with your dragon? Why did he lose his temper so much? ”

Ji Mo turned his head and glanced at the small round eyes on the side of the turtle and said, "It's nothing, he just had a fight with the python above, and accidentally made a little mess of your place, I'm really sorry, please eat a big lobster another day." "Labor and management must climb up again by the way, uproot that dangerous plant, and never suffer from it!

He was lying next to the stone wall, and it was rare for him to have someone to talk to, and it was rare for him to be able to go ashore during the day.

"Really? The smell of the snake was so bad that I had to sleep every day to ignore it. Hu said with a sigh.

Ji Mo held his dragon solemnly, carefully making his face face face face inside, not wanting others to see him so wolfish and unbearable, and believing that he himself would not be willing.

"Well, it's okay now, Ao Bai has already packed up. Aren't you hibernating? The two of us actually came up to look for you this time, but when we went down, we came up again, thinking you had hibernate early. ”

"How is that possible? It's still so warm, I'm just getting older and need more sleep. "Defend righteousness and sternly stated.

Ji Mo became more cautious when his partner was injured, almost a bit of a soldier, he looked at the turtle seriously, and then compared his own combat strength with that of the other party, and the crossing fish sadly found that he should not be Uncle Hu's opponent - if there was only one person, it would be no problem to escape in minutes, but there was a sleeping white dragon by his side, so he had to take care of him.

"Really? Now that the weather is so nice, why don't you go home and sleep for a while? Ji Mo said that he didn't want to say anything when his partner was injured.

After a moment of sluggish reaction, he said in surprise, "What's wrong with your dragon?" My Poseidon ~ His tail is almost broken! ”

This sentence made Ji Mo bite his lip vigorously in an instant, and his heart was so painful that he couldn't speak, he wanted to trust the turtle in front of him, but he felt that they were just meeting each other for the second time, let alone friendship, and they couldn't even talk about their familiar faces.

"Hmm~" Ji Mo dealt with it perfunctorily, and he was already in a hurry.

Hu suddenly took a step closer to Ao Bai's stretched body in the stream, lowered his head and opened his mouth-

"Don't touch him!" Ji Mo sternly stopped the sound, he immediately exploded, and quickly put Ao Bai's head gently on the pebbles and pillowed it, he rushed to Ao Bai's tail, and struggled to pick up the dragon tail and move it back a little farther, his eyes were angry, but more nervous, and he looked at the turtle without blinking.

- Who knows what he wants to do? Who knows if he's a good turtle or not?

"Hey~ mermaid female, why are you so rude? I just wanted to help him see if his tail was broken. Although the old turtle was old and confused, he was not stupid, and after looking at Ji Mo in a daze, he saw the obvious defensive meaning on the other party's face.

Ji Mo slowly retreated to Ao Bai's head to guard him, his eyes still staring at the turtle, "I can apologize: I'm sorry Uncle Hu." However, Ao Bai is very reluctant to be touched by others when he is resting, so you better stay away from him, lest my dragon lose his temper again, and he is the one who caused the chaos around him. Ji Mo said half-truthfully, he really couldn't fully trust a strange turtle orc who had only met for the second time.

He was a little scared and said, "I know, they all like this when they get angry, and they destroy the surroundings in a mess, and no one dares to approach them. ”

Ji Mo's heart moved, and he asked quietly, "Have you ever seen the second dragon that lost its temper?" What does he look like when he's angry? ”

Evil dragons? But what is certain is that this Uncle Hu must have seen more than Ao Bai.

He recalled, tremblingly: "Yes, they were very terrible, killing each other, I just accidentally passed by, they lifted me up and threw me desperately on the rock, I don't know how long, until a group of sharks swam over to rescue me, and my turtle shell was smashed at that time...... After they went berserk, I secretly left the sea and floated to this sea with the current, who knew that there was also a dragon who liked to lose his temper here, alas~"

They? Here's one too?

For the words of this turtle orc, Ji Mo didn't dare to listen to it as the ocean orc's version of the One Thousand and One Nights fairy tale, he tried to distinguish every word the other party said.

"They? Cannibalism against each other? Did you mean to see a group of dragon orcs fighting for a mate? Ji Mo asked speculatively, because Ao Bai had told him more than once: Because dragon orcs are scarce and it is not easy to transform into shapes, they generally do not kill each other except for competing for mates.

After thinking for a few seconds, the elder monk said in a daze, "Really? Do you see them competing for a mate? ”

Poof~ It's none of my business, those words are obviously your own words......

The corners of Ji Mo's mouth twitched a few times, and he patiently explained: "Of course I haven't seen it, in fact, I haven't seen the dragon clan kill each other." ”

Hu then talked endlessly, upside down, and was very eager to talk about a lot of scenes of the day, and the mermaid listened to it so much that he felt that Uncle Hu's hypnotic skills were slightly better than the high math teacher in his previous life.

During this period, Ji Mo looked down at the white dragon from time to time, and he didn't let go until he found that the other party's wounds were secreting a transparent protective film, at least the bleeding was stopped, and the wound would not be infected again, and when he came to his senses, he must find a way to take him down the mountain.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and Ji Mo still didn't dare to let go of the white dragon and go away to catch the big fish, so he could only catch some small fish and shrimp from the cracks in the stones around him to eat, and at the same time couldn't help but put them in front of the white dragon's nose to try and see if there would be a miracle of suddenly waking up and eating.

However, it didn't.

Halfway through, the turtle kept talking in a mouthful of words, and he didn't even bother to eat dinner, and the jump distance between topics was more than 108,000 miles, and Ji Mo went from listening completely to his heart, to going in and out of his left ear, and finally turning a deaf ear.

Ahem~ Uncle Hu, aren't you tired? It's getting dark......

"It's late, it's time for me to go home and sleep, and I'll come up and talk to you tomorrow if I'm not sleepy." Hu suddenly cleared his throat, and after finishing speaking, he began to slowly turn around and walk in the direction of the waterhole, he felt that after saying so many words to this mermaid female today, even the turtle shell on his back became much lighter.

Ji Mo smiled and waved goodbye: "You go slowly, if you don't see us tomorrow, it means that we have already gone down the mountain, welcome to the Sicilian Sea to find us." ”

The turtle should be behind the ear, and it didn't even look back, and continued to walk with a relaxed pace.

In the dark, the sound of the waves crashing against the reef and beach under the mountain became clearer, Ji Mo hugged his dragon tightly, looked up at the bright moon on the mountain, this situation and this scene, it felt like returning to the previous life to go to the coastal city to play.

"It's just the two of us, but you don't have to be afraid, sleep in peace, I'll keep vigil." Ji Mo lowered his head and kissed Bai Long's face and dragon horns, satisfied that his partner had been very stable and normal breathing rate and body temperature, and softly comforted.

*****

Ao Yang felt that this period of life was much more fulfilling than before.

"Woo~Woo~~~~!" Xitu jumped in from the bushes on the shore of the lake, and after rushing into Ao Yang's territory, he turned around and roared into the bushes.

"Hmmm~~Wow~" In the woods behind the bushes, an angry jackal beast was snorting and scraping the ground with its hind paws, he desperately wanted to rush over and tear apart the little tiger that provoked him, but he was afraid of the powerful dragon.

As a result, both sides could only yell at each other angrily, and both felt that they were particularly angry.

Ao Yang heard the movement and floated to the surface of the lake to take a look: sure enough, it was the little black cub who didn't know the height of the sky and was much more courageous than the strength of the little black cub who was challenging the fierce beasts around his territory again, of course, it seemed that this time it was still a failure.

When the jackal found Ao Yang, it quickly turned around and hid in the depths of the dense forest, not daring to stay any longer.

"Alas~ you scared my prey away again." The little tiger cub sighed in frustration, turned to look at Ao Yang and said.

"I didn't do anything." The brown-eyed white dragon calmly pointed out the facts, "It's just that they're afraid of me." ”

Hmm~ I know you're much stronger than me, but the beast scared away when it saw you, and chased after me when it saw me......

Qing Zhe was busy washing the fruit and cutting it to dry by the lake, and when he saw his cub come back again dejectedly, he quickly hugged him vigorously and encouraged:

"You've done a good job, Xitu, don't get too far from the Holy Lake, you know? Mother and father only allow you to go to the edge to see, and if something is wrong, you have to run back immediately. ”

No way, who told him to raise a little orc instead of a little female? The little orc must learn to hunt from a young age, otherwise there will be no female willing to partner with him when he grows up. Therefore, Xitu's move just now was allowed by Qingzhe: on the premise of ensuring his own safety, he went to challenge the small beasts nearby.

"Your cub is too weak." Ao Yang suddenly interjected, which was completely from his heart.

The father of the mother must not be happy to hear this evaluation, but given the strength of this dragon, Qing Zhe can only speak gently for his tiger cub: "No, Xitu is a very brave and strong little orc, and his father and Angke often praise him for his earnestness and hard work in learning to hunt!" ”

Ao Yang looked at Qing Zhe's frowning brows and cold red hands, he suddenly became unhappy, and added in an accentuated tone:

"Your cub is as weak as you!"

Qing Zhe simply gave up the verbal dispute with the dragon, and replied with one word lightly: "Hmm." ”

He and his mother and father spent a few days building a simple log cabin, the crevices of which were covered with thin twigs and pliable grass, so that it was warm and reassuring to rest at night—better than sleeping in an open grass nest, for there were so many beasts nearby.

"I'll help dry the fruit together." After the little tiger cub ran into the wooden house, he turned into a human form and walked out, and the mother and son began to concentrate on washing and drying the fruit.

Ao Yang swam over and watched without saying a word.

Qing Zhe looked at the huge dragon-shaped reflection that was motionless on the surface of the lake, and he thought that this fruit had been picked from the fruit trees in Ao Yang's territory after all, so he enthusiastically picked up a ripe fruit:

"Would you like one?"
