47. Guardian Dragon: Eagle Tribulation

Qing Zhe's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he quickly refused: "No need Ao Yang, I will deal with the fish." ”

- Alas~ My cub is so naughty, he actually told Ao Yang that he can't eat fish, and asked Ao Yang to help him remove fish bones......

"Can you really?" Ao Yang's expression was thick with suspicion.

This female cub Xitu can't eat fish in the first place, and the little thing can only starve at the food and can't eat, so how skilled can his mother and father be? I think the two of them are just as clumsy.

"Really, I—I used to eat fish sometimes in the tribe." Qing Zhe raised his head and said that as a female with such big cubs, how could he not handle fish? That's too much to look down on.

In order to prove himself, Qing Zhe immediately took a woven basket, quickly put the two big fish bouncing on the grass into the basket, and then untied the bone knife he carried with him, bravely cut off the life of the big fish, and then came to the lake to wash the food.

Ao Yang looked at the female's series of crisp and neat movements, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to stay on the shore of the lake to watch.

Soon after—

Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~

"Ah~", Qing Zhe screamed distressedly, frowning in annoyance, he checked the location of the missing hole in the bone knife - he was too hard when cutting the fish just now, and he actually broke his sharpest and most convenient bone knife.

This bone knife has a great origin, when Qing Zhe was still a female next to his mother's father, the beast father, after his beast father fought to the death with the golden lizard beast and won the victory, he took off the two sharp and hard horns of the golden lizard beast, polished it into a bone knife, and gave one to each of the two females in the family.

"What's wrong?" Ao Yang leaned over curiously and looked down: Oh, it's just a gap.

Qing Zhe was so distressed that he couldn't speak for a long time, he silently stroked the gap, remembering the scene when his elderly beast father prepared a large bag of things and sent him to the entrance of the jungle in despair and helplessness when he left the tribe that day, and his heart shrank violently.

"Why don't you speak?" Ao Yang waited quietly for a long time, but he didn't notice that the female who had been smiling gently all the time spoke.

"It's nothing, I'll go home first."

Qing Zhe took a deep breath and reluctantly replied, he put the bone knife in the lake water, cleaned it carefully, and then walked back to the wooden house with both hands in his hands, and closed the door with his backhand; Soon after, he came out again, picked up his tiger cub, who was lying on the grass and had dried its fur and was asleep, and laid it on the bed, covered with a fur mattress, outside when the sun was about to go down and it was especially cold when the wind was blowing around the sacred lake.

"Isn't that the beast's bone broken? Is it worth making a fuss? Alas~ females are so strange. Ao Yang was very puzzled, he was left alone on the shore of the lake, and he was not angry—in fact, he was only angry when faced with an obvious attack and sneak attack to provoke the occupation of the territory, and other times, the dragon was a little lacking and a little sluggish.

After thinking about it for a while, Ao Yang decided that Qing Zhe was making trouble, so he kindly helped deal with the fish left on the shore of the lake.

When Qingzhe took care of his cubs, found a bone knife again, closed the door and walked out, what he saw was that the taciturn brown-eyed white dragon was pinching a fish in its two paws, bowing his head and seriously cutting open the belly of the fish to remove the internal organs that could not be eaten.

"Ao Yang, I'll just come by myself." Qingzhe hurriedly ran over, standing on the shore of the lake at a loss and looking up at the dragon.

- Beast God~ How can this be? I was ready to starve and freeze and face the threat of death at all times, but why would the legendary "evil dragon" be like this? Why didn't he abuse and bully me and my cubs? Oh no, I'm so stupid, how could I expect to be treated so cruelly......

The expression on the face of this tiger female was extremely tangled, aggrieved and confused, and he felt that what happened after coming to the holy lake made him feel at a loss.

"Alright, let's take it and cook it." Ao Yang put the fish back on the shore of the lake, urging Qingzhe to hurry up and make a fire to prepare dinner for him and the little black cub, and he had already decided that he would take care of the fish in the future and give it to Qingzhe, because he didn't want to see the females in his territory always make trouble.

Qing Zhe hesitated for a moment before mentioning the two big fish in the basket that were particularly tattered, "Thank you, Ao Yang......"

"Go ahead." Ao Yang still stays on the shore of the lake, and he dislikes to go back to the lonely home at the bottom of the lake more and more, staying on the lake to see and hear more, and life is much more interesting.

During these days, he had to say a lot every day, so he no longer stumbled and lost his words as he did at the beginning.

Qingzhe's cooking place was very close to the shore of the lake, because he needed water, and he only brought a stone pot and a few wooden bowls from the tribe, and the wooden barrel for water was large and heavy, and he was in too much trouble to take care of it.

A lot of dry firewood and dry grass were piled up under the eaves next to the wooden house, Qingzhe began to set up the firewood, poured water in the stone pot, and most of the food at home was always roasted for the little tiger cub to eat.

"Why don't you wake up Cetu to help?" Ao Yang suddenly asked not very happily, he saw that the female was busy making a fire and cooking fish and making soup, so busy that her feet did not touch the ground.

Carefully turning a fish that was being grilled and sprinkling some spices on it from time to time, Qingzhe said happily: "Xitu is asleep, he got up too early today, and he has been running all day. ”

Seeing that his tiger cub was so energetic, bold and cautious enough in the face of wild beasts, Qingzhe, as a mother and father, was extremely proud.

Ao Yang said sullenly: "You take care of the cub too lazy, he is almost an adult." "That cub wasn't like this before, but he became what he is today after his mother and father came, and every day he had to be coaxed and fed by a female to eat fish, it's just that! Roar~~~~!

Qing Zhe hurriedly corrected: "No, Xitu is just a half-grown tiger cub, and he is still early to become an adult, you look at his beast shape or cub body, when he is really an adult, I can't hold him, hey~" What an embarrassing scene, when the cub grows up, the mother and father are too old to hold you.

Ao Yang was still rowing the dragon's tail dissatisfied, and there was a clear disdain in his big brown eyes, he just couldn't get used to the kind of cub that grew up so big and liked to lie down next to the female to eat.

After Qingzhe prepared all the food, the little tiger cub who woke up voluntarily after smelling the fragrance quickly appeared by the fire, he rubbed his eyes and yawned, and lay on his mother's and father's legs in a daze, not yet having much energy.

"Xitu, come, eat fish." Qing Zhe first put the unprocessed raw fish meat, which was more nutritious for the little orc, into Xitu's mouth, and the latter obediently opened his mouth to eat it.

"Mother, father, I prefer to eat grilled fish." Xitu said with a frown.

"No, you are a male orc, you must get used to the taste of raw meat, no matter what kind of prey meat it is, otherwise what will you do in the future? Everybody will laugh at you. Qingzhe insists on raising the cubs in a half-baked way.

Ao Yang was also eating fish at this time, and the two sides were not far apart, which made him feel that the meal was particularly lively and warm.

"Ao Yang, don't you really want to try grilled fish?" Qing Zhe greeted the brown-eyed white dragon on the shore of the lake again, and he felt more and more that the other dragon lived in a huge holy lake, always hunting, eating, and sleeping alone, and lived a really lonely life.

“…… No need. Ao Yang looked at the female's unusually soft eyebrows against the background of the campfire and refused.

The night of the cold season comes early, and it is dark just after eating the fish and drinking the soup.

"Xitu, don't run out to play, it's getting dark." Qing Zhe hurriedly washed the stone pot and hung it upside down, while hot water was already boiling in another larger stone pot, which he carefully wrapped in a cloth and poured into a large wooden basin, brought it into the wooden house, and then closed the door.

Ao Yang knew that the female was hiding and washing.

Whoop~~ The little tiger cub was full of sleep, food and drink, and was chasing the birds on the grass in front of the wooden house.

"Ao Yang, can you turn into a human form and go hunting with me tomorrow?" Xitu looked at the wooden door behind him, and secretly approached the brown-eyed white dragon.

During this time, he went to challenge the small beasts every day, but in view of his limited strength, he was only chased back to the holy lake by the beasts every time, so he wanted to find a helper - cough cough~ He also had to hide it from his mother and father.

"Huh?" Ao Yang simply expressed his incomprehension.

Xitu whispered a discussion:

"The cold season is just around the corner, and I hope to catch a few good fur prey, and my mother and father need more animal skin clothes, and we also need to store jerky. If you're willing to help me, I'll give you half of the dried meat that my mother and father have dried! ”

The little tiger cub vigorously persuaded the powerful dragon in front of him, and he recently found that the dragon seemed to like to eat the dried meat of the mother-father system, so he proposed such a lure condition.

Fur clothes? Also, it's a female after all......

Ao Yang blinked: "You go back to sleep first, remember to close the door, and warn in time if there is any movement at night." ”

"Don't you want to? Then, when the time comes, all the jerky will be yours, and I will only want the skins? "Xitu made even greater concessions.

When Ao Yang just wanted to say something, the door of the wooden house had already opened, and Qing Zhe walked out with a wooden basin, "Xitu, hurry up and go home to get ready to rest, and if you can't sleep, you can help your mother and father rub the straw rope." ”

"I know my mother, father."

The little tiger cub didn't dare to say anything more, and finally whispered to Ao Yang: "If you don't agree, forget it, don't tell my mother and father!" After saying that, he hurried home, for fear that Qing Zhe would know about begging Ao Yang to go hunting together.

Qingzhe habitually sat on the big rock on the shore of the lake, scrubbing the clothes he and his cubs had changed in the old place.

Ao Yang is still watching.

That's how they get along.

Qing Zhe once asked why, and Ao Yang said that because he was curious and had not seen it before, Qing Zhe let him go—the dragon was quite interested in the way of life of the terrestrial orc tribes.

Gradually, they got used to each other's company.

*****

"Uncle Hu, this is our home in the warm season, the one just now is our home in the cold season, there are many suitable reefs and caves next to it, you can choose one to live in." Ji Mo enthusiastically led the turtles on a tour of the Sicilian Sea.

Ao Bai got up early today and set off to patrol the sea, and his anxious and excited back quickly disappeared from Ji Mo's sight, making him sigh and ridiculous - are you worried that I will change my mind and lock you up at home for a few more days? I've never seen such an idle toiling dragon!

"Okay female, where is your partner?" He squinted his eyes and paddled his limbs in the sea, enjoying the vastness and charm of the sea, and felt very satisfied.

The crossing fish swam slowly with the speed of the old turtle, "He went to patrol the sea." Ao Bai is very diligent, I was forced to stay at home to recuperate because of my injury, and there were a lot of fierce sharks in this sea before, all of which were dealt with by Ao Bai. Speaking of his dragon, Ji Mo's face was full of pride and praise.

Hu said happily: "That's good, I was afraid of fierce beasts and evil dragons before I hid on the island, you have to work harder and give birth to more dragons, just rely on your partner one dragon is not enough!" Perhaps this is already a common habit of the elderly, and the nurse has also begun to care about Ji Mo's belly.

"Uh~ yes." Crossing the fish with an embarrassed face, he replied vaguely, he had already considered the problem of offspring in his heart: first of all, a family without children is not satisfactory after all, because he and Ao Bai both like children; The second is that the reality is compelling, Ao Bai can't last a few years, and the world is still the kind of period that needs dragons to thrive, the more the better.

- If you have a conflict with someone, don't you need a helper?

"Then you should often combine with the beast form, so that you can give birth to the baby dragon faster." Hu further cared about it, it was also strange, when the topic of the young dragon was mentioned, the old turtle was not confused at all, he was sober and logical.

Ji Mo secretly took a few steps behind and swam behind Uncle Hu, "Hmm~ That's the case." Another wry smile replied.

He hurriedly placed Uncle Hu near the beautiful and rich coral reef, so that the old man could eat whatever he wanted, and he himself went ashore to do things.

"In the early year of the Western Dynasty, on the twenty-fourth cold, Turtle Hu joined the Sicilian Sea, and he believed in Ao Bai's ability very much and expressed his willingness to live for a long time." Ji Mo habitually carved the big events of the day with sharp horn snails on the shark's wide bone plate. For the sake of his records, he compiled the present year into the early years of the Common Era, and then used the number of days in the cold and warm seasons as the date—as for the dividing line between the cold and warm seasons, he first set it on the day when he and Ao Bai searched for the cold season reef cave to settle down.

After recording the day, he began to pour the herbs, relying on the rough usage of Xitu's brief introduction to familiarize himself with the shape and smell of the herbs, when Ao Bai was injured, he hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dare to use the medicine, for fear that something would happen.

However, when he accidentally scratched himself on the reef hole, he had the courage to apply himself a herb to stop bleeding, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the herb common to land orcs was also applicable to the physique of marine orcs, although Ao Bai had a big temper after knowing it, and the crossing fish was unilaterally cold for several days before coaxing his dragon.

*****

The days passed like this, and Ji Mo sometimes followed Ao Bai to patrol the sea.

"Ji Mo, are you going to go on a sea patrol with me today?" Ao Bai picked up his partner directly from the bed, hugged him in his arms and asked, because they had already discussed it last night.

At this time, they have moved to their home in the cold season, which is very smooth, because they have been arranged before, and it is not much different from the previous home; The turtle guard rarely comes out to hang out recently, and only when the sun is particularly good will he swim out of the reef next door to chat with Ji Mo, and when the temperature is lower, it is estimated that he is really going to hibernat.

Ji Mo was transferred from the bed to Ao Bai's arms, he rubbed his sour eyelids vigorously, frowned, kicked his legs a few times, and unconsciously twisted and stretched.

"Go, why don't you go? I wanted to see what the Sicilian Sea looked like at this time. "Crossing the fish thinks that getting up early in the morning in the cold season is really a terrible thing, but his dragon has never known what it means to sleep lazy, and is always energetic.

"Well, then you sit down for a while, and I'll go and bring in the food." Ao Bai pampered his mermaid to sit next to the table, and turned to go out to get food.

Ji Mo used to be like this, he was listless in winter, and he would rather sleep for twenty minutes more in the morning than get up early to eat hot porridge or hot noodle soup to go to work.

His eyes still didn't move very flexibly, because his brain was in a half-awake state, very dazed.

It wasn't until halfway through breakfast that he asked as if he had suddenly sobered up: "Didn't Uncle Hu get up today?" ”

Ao Bai peeled a prawn for his partner, "Well, I watched, he was still sleeping." ”

"Hahaha~ This time it's estimated that he's going to really hibernate, and we probably won't see him for a long time." Ji Mo thought about the last time he mistakenly thought that he hibernate early, but Uncle Hu angrily said that he was just used to sleeping so much.

"Today we went to the vicinity of the Western Continent to have a look, where there used to be a small group of toothed sharks, and I don't know if they have swam into the deep sea now." Ao Bai told the mermaid today's arrangement.

Ji Mo nodded, "Okay, I might swim slower because the sea is getting colder now." Mind if I drag you back? ”

"I like to be held back by you, and so can the hind paws." Ao Bai said seriously.

Ji Mo patted the stupid dragon's shoulder, "Okay, okay, my hind legs and tail can also be dragged by you, just swim a little slower." ”

The husband and wife went out of the house with all their might, laughing and laughing, and swam in the direction of the western continent of Sicily.

"Ji Mo, do you feel cold?" The white dragon turned his head and asked with concern.

The mermaid shook her head as she swam, "It's okay, the cold snap we encountered on the way to the Sicilian Sea was much colder than it is now." ”

Bai Long brought up the topic again: "Ji Mo, do you say that there are still second or third dragon fruit vines on the sea and land?" ”

It's a headache.

"It's hard to say." Ji Mo said worriedly, "If the dragon fruit vine is suitable for growing on the island, then I don't know how many islands in the ocean, large and small, there is no reason why there are only islands in the Sicilian Sea, right?" Not to mention if the dragon fruit vine drifted from the Sicilian continent, the land is so dense and vast, maybe there is a large area in which valley. ”

The white dragon said worriedly, "If other dragon orcs know about this fruit, then the whole sea will be in chaos." ”

"So we have to hide it tightly, and we must hide it tightly! I have already told you the meaning of the phrase that the husband is not guilty, but I am guilty, and we cannot be the public enemies of the whole ocean. Crossing the fish said nervously.

In the martial arts dramas I watched in my previous life, those who held peerless martial arts cheats, healing elixirs, and famous sword treasures generally did not end well, and the trick was often always from the accidental killing of those people or even the tragedy of extermination or something to uncover the beginning of the whole plot!

Ao Bai hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid of Ji Mo, I understand." "He himself is a dragon, and if he hears that there is such a miraculous fruit on any island in the sea, and says that he doesn't want to get one to eat at all, he is simply deceiving the god of the sea and deceiving himself.

It took them a while to reach the edge of the western continent, and the two of them cautiously circled the area, but finally found no sign of the toothed sharks, assuming that they had migrated to the deep sea.

"They've moved!" Ji Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, no one would be at ease that there was a group of carnivorous sharks lurking in the sea area where he lived.

"But they still swim back in the warmer season." Ao Bai calmly pointed out that this was also the reason why he opened his mouth to invite Ao Yang to live in the Sicilian Sea.

When he and Ji Mo rushed to Fenghai, it was already the tail of the warm season, and he happened to avoid the most rampant period of the fierce beasts, but what about the next warm season? They can't live forever in the shallow sea.

"Wait, Ao Bai, there's a clams there!" Ji Mo pointed excitedly, he is not the short-sighted eye he used to be, there are no electronic products here to spend time, and his eyesight is very well protected.

Ao Bai looked at his partner's happy appearance, and only briefly explained: "Wait, our new home is missing a clams bed!" Then he swam over.

Where can Ji Mo stay, he swam behind the white dragon upside down, the clams were stuck in a hole not far from the Western Continent, and it was very well camouflaged, but he couldn't stand Ji Mo looking at it not far in front of him at that time.

No way, there is no clams bed in his new home, it is very simple. Besides, Ji Mo knew that after the little mermaid was born, he had to stay in the slightly closed clams bed to break through the cell membrane and swim out, which was simply the most suitable crib.

Ao Bai swam straight towards the clodium, "Ji Mo! Hide, he's going to spray poison. "Tridacnes are actually very powerful and fierce sea creatures, and they can even be classified as one of the fierce beasts, and the reason why they are not famous enough is simply because they are not numerous.

"Okay, be careful yourself." Ji Mo went a few meters upstream, almost close to the surface of the sea, keeping a close eye on the clams and white dragons that were entwined not far away.

The accident happened at this moment, Ji Mo felt a shadow covering his head, he instinctively looked up, but there was a heart-rending pain in his shoulder, and then he was carried out of the sea and flew into the air.

Frye let out a smug and excited eagle roar, sharp and high-pitched, resounding through the sea and the sky—I have caught a mermaid, O beast god!

"Ah~~~~" Ji Mo's left shoulder was pierced by a sharp claw, and he was lifted up like this, so painful that he screamed in an instant, and his voice was out of tune
