"Ao Bai! What the hell is wrong with you? Listen to me, shall we go home right away? Ji Mo almost lay back and dragged Ao Bai's arm and grabbed him.

- Hell, we're just here to patrol the mountains and take an autumn tour, what the hell is going on......

Ji Mo was very nervous, because he felt that Ao Bai couldn't listen to what he said at all now, the last time this happened was the night when Ao Bai successfully transformed into a form, but now that his body has become an adult, is there a second transformation?

The white dragon felt that his brain was in chaos, and the whole person had already walked to the edge of the waterhole boulder, and his mermaid still had his arm hanging on it.

"Forget it, I'll take you down to cool off and sober up!" Ji Mo simply stood up straight, he looked at the surrounding environment, took a few steps back decisively, and suddenly rushed from behind and fell into the waterhole while holding Ao Bai.

Thump~

The sound of the water was loud, and the small pool made a lot of splashes for the two of them. 、

"Are you awake?" Ji Mo asked nervously, and he vigorously pulled his partner to dive under the waterhole.

The pool is typically formed by the impact of flowing water, with a funnel at the bottom, narrower and narrower as you go down, surrounded by dark and cold stone walls, with the occasional few frightened fish fleeing in all directions.

Based on the limitation of the shape, the visibility at the bottom of the pool was very low, but it was unusually deep, and it was pitch black below, Ji Mo felt a little frightened, and he stopped at about the same position.

- So deep? Will there be a sea below? Oh yes, it's impossible, it's all fresh water.

"Ao Bai, are you okay?" Ji Mo hugged his partner tightly, raised his hand and patted his cheek and asked worriedly.

The white dragon's eyes have been out of focus, maintaining the appearance of deep thought.

After a long, long time, when Ji Mo was so anxious that he was about to fire off the pearl, Ao Bai finally exhaled softly, reached out and hugged his mermaid tightly, and kissed his cheek soothingly.

"Are you okay? What just happened? Tell me how you feel in detail, okay? Ji Mo slowly stroked his partner's back and patiently accompanied him.

After Ao Bai slowed down for a while, his eyes suddenly became sharp, he shook his head again, and the cold pool water finally made his mind, which had been chaotic for a while, come to his senses.

"I'm fine, there's something up there tempting me just now - and there's something hiding down there." Ao Bai looked up at the top, and then at the bottom of the pool, his expression looked annoyed.

I was so tempted that I didn't notice another strange breath under the water at the first time.

"What?" Ji Mo exclaimed, and then involuntarily pulled his partner upstream, but soon he reacted again - no, he couldn't go up yet, Ao Bai was in a trance in the air and it would be bad if something happened to him.

"What is it?" Ji Mo asked in a small voice. In this secluded pool, he felt his heartbeat slowly being amplified.

Plop ~ Plop ~ Plop ~

Ao Bai regained his composure, and after looking around, he placed the mermaid on a slightly raised stone wall, and told him: "Don't be afraid, wait for me here, I'll go down and have a look." ”

It's really strange that the breath of the sea orcs can be felt in the deep pool of freshwater.

Ji Mo jumped off the stone wall and grabbed him, "Ao Bai, you wait first!" Sue me、Is that thing dangerous? He was really afraid of the anxious powerlessness that he waited for every time.

Ao Bai had already dived a few meters and was chased by his partner, so he had to turn around and hug him, "There should be no danger, I didn't have the ability to attack before, just like a mermaid." ”

- Since there is no danger, why don't you ask me to come with you to help......

"Ao Bai, if you encounter this kind of non-dangerous thing in the future, remember to call me, you know? Otherwise, I feel useless. Of course, if you think I'm going to be a drag on you, you must leave me behind, lest you spoil your business. Ji Mo asked seriously.

At this time, the surrounding stone wall where the two of them were located was only about five meters in diameter, and compared to the vast sea, it was almost claustrophobia here.

"Okay, then you have to keep up with me, I just want you to rest for a while." Ao Bai stretched out his hand and pulled the mermaid behind him, and sternly admonished him.

Ji Mo nodded, and then it quieted down, and the two continued to dive quietly.

After a while, there was a sharp turn below, and the two sea orcs finally groped their way to the bottom of the pool. Surprisingly, there was a bright light underneath.

The stone walls around the bottom of the pond are glowing and glowing with a soft white light.

"Oh woo woo woo me ~ don't kill me, don't kill me......"

The corners of Ji Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth a few times but couldn't speak.

Hiding in a shallow pit at the bottom of the pool, crying and begging for mercy, it was a huge turtle.

Ao Bai walked over with Ji Mo and touched those white jade-like stone walls, and nodded appreciatively, "Do you remember Ji Mo?" I used to sleep in this kind of bed in my room. ”

Ji Mo glanced at the huge shrunken turtle in the corner again-yes, it was literal, the turtle just shrunk its head and spoke angrily.

Although the crossing fish was extremely curious, he still answered his partner's question.

"Remember, I was hiding behind your bed and was pulled out by you." At this time, when I think about all the things I met that day, I just feel warm and funny.

Ao Bai felt slightly embarrassed, he explained: "At that time, I thought that the queen mother had forced a female who didn't like me at all to my room, and the previous females were very strange, I obviously didn't do anything, and those females also cried a lot. ”

Listening to Bailong's complaining and puzzled tone, Ji Mo made up the scene at that time, and didn't know whether to laugh or be jealous.

Oh, it turns out that before me, the Dragon Queen found you several females......

"Ahem~ Well, I think it's because your beast form is too powerful and powerful, so you deter those female □□." Ji Mo guessed seriously - forget it, this is a stupid dragon.

Ao Bai thought for a moment and agreed, "Maybe, those females are crying so much that I have to ask the queen mother to send them back again." ”

In the above conversation, the shrunken turtle has been eavesdropping, trying to pretend that he does not have zài.

"Ao Bai, ...... him?" Ji Mo pointed to the quiet creature in the corner and whispered to his partner, for some reason he wanted to laugh when he looked at the turtle.

The white dragon walked over slowly, sighed and said to the turtle:

"How long are you going to hide? I've given you plenty of time to calm down, turtle. ”

Ji Mo bent down to look at the inside of the turtle shell of the black hole, "Is it a turtle?" ”

"Yes, it's a lot old." Ao Bai replied that the turtle shell was covered with moss and scratches.

Ji Mo said as gently as possible: "Hello, why do you live here alone?" "No wonder the voice is so urn-like, it turns out that it is a longevity turtle in the East China Sea who doesn't know how old he is.

"Don't kill me~" The turtle repeated in a trembling voice.

Ao Bai sighed helplessly, "Can't you still feel my breath?" Dragons generally don't hurt turtles. ”

Bum~ Why don't I have an impression on this? Ji Mo quickly recorded this question in the notebook in his heart, ready to raise it in tonight's bedtime question and answer activity.

The turtle trembled slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "You yourself said that there is a "general situation"...... I'm afraid you're going to get angry. ”

Flutter~

Ji Mo hurriedly coughed and stifled his laughter.

"So do you want me to be "normal" or angry now? Ao Bai asked patiently.

The turtle still didn't dare to stick his head out, perhaps for too long, it hadn't spoken, and his voice was rough and hoarse, "I hope it's the general situation." ”

"Well, you answer me honestly first, and I won't get angry." Ao Bai pulled the mermaid and sat down on the protrusion of the stone wall in front of him.

The doubts in the white dragon's heart simply kept popping up: First of all, why is there an old turtle in the hidden small waterhole on the island of Sicily? Secondly, it looks like he's been living here for a long, long time, so how did he come here? Finally, the turtle clan of the ocean is generally not afraid of dragons, and even has always taken the initiative to join the dragon clan and follow it for generations, what is the matter with this old turtle? I recognize that I am a dragon, but I still look so scared?

Ji Mo also helped persuade him: "Don't be afraid, we don't have malicious intentions, we just chat." ”

Ao Bai began to ask: "When did you get to the Sicilian Sea?" Why hide here and not return to the sea? ”

Ji Mo subconsciously looked at the position of the turtle's four legs, and in his impression, although the turtle could speak, it could only maintain the shape of a beast - the stubby legs were humanoid and so big, whether it could climb out of the waterhole was another matter. Oh no, if he can take advantage of the rainstorm and the overflow of the pool, then he will definitely be able to do it.

“…… I don't remember, it's been too long, I don't dare to go back to the sea, the dragon will kill me......" The turtle thought for a moment and said slowly.

Ao Bai had a headache, "How can you not remember that you are a turtle?" Don't lie. "How is that possible? The turtle family has always been known for their long life and good memory.

It's a big deal.

The old turtle, which was lying quietly on his stomach, suddenly exploded, and he suddenly stuck his head out, stood on all fours, and was so excited that he was incoherent:

"Can't you remember? Should turtles remember...... There are turtles that I don't remember, I don't remember...... But I'm also a turtle, and you've all gone too far and laughed at me for having a bad memory...... Do turtles have to remember so many things......" he said, shuddering and moving forward.

Ji Mo was taken aback by the other party's abrupt move, and he instinctively took a few steps back; Ao Bai was more direct, and when he opened his mouth, he let out a dragon roar containing threat.

Roar~~~

"Ah~ You're angry now, aren't you?" The old turtle immediately shrank its head and legs quickly, and the turtle shell smashed into the stone wall and even made a slight "poof~" sound.

Ji Mo hurriedly played a round: "No, don't be afraid, he didn't get angry." "Alas~ Maybe the other party is just a confused old turtle, maybe it's really too old.

Ao Bai thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's put this problem down first." Now I want to ask about the evil dragon you said, do you remember this? ”

The old turtle immediately expressed even more fear, "Yes! Right! There are evil dragons, and in addition to the many fierce beasts in this sea, there are also evil dragons! He's so terrible and cruel, it's because of him that I'm hiding here, the dragon is really too powerful, his temper is so bad, he stirs up the sea at every turn......"

Ji Mo and Ao Bai listened hard, but the other party said so much, but it was all those few words over and over again, and there was no substantive content.

Poseidon, what is this turtle trying to express? He's talking about what happened in reality, or is it one of the many legends of the ocean, like the sigh of the god of the sea, the wrath of the god of the sea or something......

After the old turtle finally finished talking in fear, Ji Mo had already sat down speechlessly and hugged his knees in a daze.

At this time, the old turtle stretched out his head again, looked at Ji Mo and suddenly said, "Mermaid, you have the breath of a dragon on your body." Why do dragons find mermaids as companions? Aren't there any females in the dragons? Or is it that the females of the dragon clan are no longer able to give birth to baby dragons? ”

- Poof!

The crossing fish asked expressionlessly, "Why can't the dragon find a mermaid as a companion?" The great sea god didn't have a rule in this regard, did he? "You are a kind of racial discrimination, it is a very strict consciousness error, the beast is equal, and the marriage of thousands of miles is involved......

Ao Bai said seriously: "The females of the dragon clan can give birth to baby dragons. It's just that I'm only willing to let Ji Mo give birth to offspring for me, and other females can't. ”

The crossing fish secretly tugged his partner and signaled him to keep a low profile: Let's just talk about this kind of ** thing in private.

The old turtle muttered disapprovingly: "However, the offspring born of the pure dragon combination is stronger, and the mermaid is too weak to give birth to strong offspring, or it can't give birth to a healthy baby dragon at all-"

Ji Mo couldn't help but interrupt him: "Don't say that, okay?" Before our child was born, you predicted that he was not strong enough, if it weren't for your age, you would be scolded today, believe it or not? ”

It's unbearable! I've never seen such an old man who can't speak, and there are some things that you shouldn't say even if you think about it in your heart. Since you have the desire to be a parent, even if it is a future child, you must do your best to maintain it.

Ao Bai was more direct, he lifted the old turtle up, and said angrily: "I'm angry now, you dare to curse my future child?" "For the little mermaids and dragons in the future, Ao Bai has been looking forward to it for a long time, and now he is really angry to hear such harsh words.

"Woo woo woo ~ can't I tell the truth? Is this how you dragons oppress turtles? Woo woo woo ~ my great god of the sea...... "The old turtle cried aggrievedly, he actually had no malicious intentions, but he couldn't hide his words in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been squeezed out and wandered into the Sicilian Sea.

Ji Mo felt even more depressed when he heard the cry, he patted Ao Bai's shoulder, "Forget it, our own children like it, other people's mouths can't be blocked, even if they are gaged, they can't control their hearts." ”

The old turtle had shrunk up quickly, and did not dare to say anything more.

"This nearby sea is my sealed sea, you can continue to live here, but I hope you are loyal to Sicily and jointly protect Sicily, otherwise I will personally send you to the side of the sea god." Ao Bai let go of his hand and showed his attitude lightly.

"Okay~" As soon as the old turtle was put down, he immediately moved back to the corner in small steps.

After tossing for so long, Ji Mo remembered and asked, "Do you know what's on the cliff?" It's something that can tempt dragons. Maybe he'll know, after all, he's been in the waters for so many years, and the turtle shell is covered with moss.

Who knows, the confused and forgetful turtle shook his head again, "I don't know, in order to avoid the evil dragon, I have been hiding here, and only occasionally when it is too stuffy will I go up to breathe." ”

Ji Mo waved his hand weakly, "Okay, it's okay." By the way, my name is Ji Mo, his name is Ao Bai, what is your name? ”

The turtle thought for a long time before replying, "I think I should be called a ...... Right? ”

"Hu? Call? Tiger? Protect? Then it should be Hu, Uncle Hu, you rest slowly, we have to go back. Oh yes, do you need us to drop you back to the sea? "After tossing for so long, tired and half dead, I met a confused and timid turtle......

"No, I'm afraid of that dragon." Hu shook his head.

Ao Bai patiently explained: "You don't have to be afraid, there is only me as a dragon in this sea." "Do you want to say I'm an evil dragon?

Hu widened his small eyes and looked at Ao Bai, and suddenly made a sudden realization: "Sea God! You look like the dragon—just in a completely different breath. ”

"Ji Mo, it's not early, let's go home first, it's dangerous to go down the mountain after dark." Ao Bai nodded calmly and turned to greet his partner.

How is this turtle different from what I've seen before? Is it a race endemic to the Sicilian Sea?

Before leaving, Ji Mo quickly said goodbye, "Uncle Hu, let's go, don't worry, there is really no evil dragon outside, you can figure it out and go down the mountain by yourself, I saw that your legs are quite long just now......" The words behind him have gradually blurred, because Ao Bai pulled him to dive up quickly.

"Your name is Ao Bai? Then do you recognize my great dragon king Ao Yuan? Thinking about it, he fell back into a deep slumber and continued to squander his long, boring life.

*****

When he was about to emerge from the water, Ji Mo cautiously grabbed his partner.

"Ao Bai, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"Let's not go back the way we came, just go down this stream, and don't come out of the water, I'm afraid you'll be delirious again."

Whatever is on it, I'm not curious at all! That thing makes you look like you anymore, it's so dangerous.

Ao Bai thought about it and agreed: "Okay, just do as you say, I don't want to be tempted anymore." ”

So, after the two left the waterhole, they followed Ji Mo's method, feeling the stones at the bottom of the stream and slowly swimming forward, without their heads coming out of the water to breathe the outside air, so cautiously, they returned safely to the shore below the mountain.

*****

Hetu was lying on his stomach in a clump of vines deep in the forest, his eyes shining with excitement and eagerness.

Rui was hiding not far in front of him, and today was the day he took Xitu out of the real jungle for exercise.

Their target was a herd of jumping sheep grazing in front of them, flocks of them with huge curved horns on their heads and slender hooves, with males guarding the periphery and females and cubs hiding inside.

After Rui found the trail of the jumping sheep, he led the little tiger cub to track him all the way, carefully instructing him on how to distinguish footprints, smells, and numbers.

They have been lurking for a long time, and by this time the prey has let down their guard and is busy grazing.

Rui gestured to Xitu, and both of them lunged out at the same time, pounced on their pre-chosen prey.

They are all in the form of beasts. In the dense forest, Xitu's beast form suffers, because the black fur is too conspicuous among the green leaves, and Rui is very good, he is a leopard, hidden in the withered yellow grass, it is almost one.

Xitu cherishes this opportunity very much. That day, he cried and said countless good words, made countless promises, and with the gray wolf Qiao beside him to help persuade him, Ruicai promised to take him into the jungle for exercise.

Whew~~Wow~~~~

Having succeeded in knocking down and killing a smaller jumping sheep that he had taken a fancy to him, Xitu let out a young roar of excitement.

Rui immediately glanced at the little tiger cub disapprovingly, and the latter immediately closed his mouth.

The jumping sheep just now have been alarmed and scattered and fled, Rui and Xitu took their respective prey in their mouths and began to return to the tribe, and today's exercise Rui has seen satisfactory results.

The little tiger cub followed his father with a light step, and he was so excited that he used a force under his mouth to make the prey's beast blood flow to the ground.

Rui immediately put his prey on the ground, and his prey was precisely kicked and broke the cervical vertebrae, and even blood did not come out; And Xitu is still small and lacks strength, so he can only rely on biting.

"Xitu, immediately turn into a human form, throw away your prey and sit on my back, we must get out of here as much as possible." The cautious Rui felt that it was not safe to run back slowly at the speed of a tiger cub.

Remembering his father's repeated admonitions, "When you enter the forest, you must listen to me", although he was very reluctant to give up his prey, he immediately turned into a human form, and helped pick up Rui's jumping sheep and sit on his father's tall and strong beast.

Rui accelerated and ran without losing his speed in the slightest.

But just as they were about to leave the dangerous area of the dense forest, Rui suddenly made an emergency pause and almost threw off the little tiger cub on his back.

"Xitu! Throw away the prey! "It's really bad luck to happen to this kind of thing today.

Back in the direction of the tribe, two adult beasts appeared, staring at them with cold, bloodthirsty eyes.
