72. Drive away the one-eyed dragon and rob the female
Ji Mo was in a drowsy state, and suddenly heard a familiar voice that he had been waiting for for a long time-it was Ao Bai!
He immediately raised his head happily, ready to take a look, but Rong Tuo trembled all over his body and threw the mermaid to the mud wall of the river with a flick of his paws.
"Hey~ Why did you drop me?" Ji Mo felt inexplicable and shouted a little angrily, when he was thrown against the mud wall, fortunately he hit it with his feet first, otherwise it would be his stomach that hit the wall first.
In fact, it was a completely instinctive reaction, because the one-eyed green dragon felt the extreme unfriendliness of the white dragon swimming across the side.
"Come here, Ji Mo." Ao Bai instantly sent out a water rope to pull his partner behind him, and at the same time unceremoniously repelled the one-eyed dragon that wanted to get close with his ice spikes.
Ji Mo stretched out his arms to hug the little white dragon's warm dragon body, and finally relaxed, what had happened in the past two days was really unbearable.
"Are you okay?" The little white dragon didn't dare to relax his vigilance against the one-eyed dragon, he hooked Ji Mo's arm with his claws, and asked in a low trembling voice.
In fact, Ao Bai found the bruised and swollen wounds on his partner's face at the beginning, and his heartache and reluctance made him at a loss for a while, and he didn't know how to comfort the other party at all.
Ji Mo smiled, "It's good, it's in a hurry, right?" Look at your eyes, they're bloodshot. I just heard Big Brother's voice, where is he? β
"In front, we caught a lot of eagles, and the big brother was watching them." The little white dragon said murderously.
Rong Tuo was stunned when he saw the appearance of the little white dragon clearly: Does this dragon also have the same abilities as the king? Did he eat dragon fruit too? However, this white dragon looks too young, and it does not look like the legendary eldest prince dragon Ao Yang, who has lived in the holy lake for a long time.
The one-eyed dragon had just swam far behind in one breath in order to avoid the ice spikes, and after figuring it out, he made up his mind and swam back in absolute surrender.
The green dragon cautiously stopped not far in front of the little white dragon, the dragon's body coiled in an orderly manner, its head bowed, and its expression respectful.
"Who are you?" Ao Bai asked in a deep voice.
Qinglong replied sincerely: "I am Rong Tuo, the guardian dragon of the South China Sea. β
"What are you doing in mainland Sicily?" Ao Bai continued to ask, he was also a dragon clan, of course he knew the meaning of the other party's posture at this time - that is, the meaning of admitting that the other party was stronger than himself and willing to surrender and admit defeat.
At this time, with a dragon roar full of threatening battle meaning, Ao Yang's figure appeared in the downstream direction, and after he heard his brother's unusual roar just now, he had to quickly rush over to support.
"Big brother." Ji Mo greeted first, "Thank you, big brother, for saving me." β
Ao Yang glanced at the mermaid a few times, and comforted him indifferently: "Is your stomach okay?" Beaten? But that's okay, we've avenged you. β
"Well, I'm fine." Ji Mo replied with a wry smile, he thought to himself that the beating I received was actually not very strict, and he was a little worried that the Eagle Clan, who had suffered a big loss, would put all the accounts on the eldest brother, and endlessly planned a counterattack - what is inside, the bright gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent.
After Ao Yang and Ao Bai appeared at the same time, Rong Tuo quietly looked at it, and immediately determined that the later white dragon was the Great Prince Dragon of the South China Sea, and the other should be the weak dragon of the East China Sea.
However, how is the little white dragon so far away from the legendary waste dragon and weak dragon? His strength is very strong, not under any royal dragon at all, and what is even more terrifying is that there are dragons in the East China Sea who know the storage of dragon fruits?
Rong Tuo's heart was guessing: Oh~ I finally understand, why the Dragon King of the East China Sea would be willing to send their little prince dragon to the Sicilian Sea, it was clearly intentional, one was to cover up the little white dragon's outstanding ability, and the other was to obtain the dragon fruit nearby.
It seems that our king has been deceived by the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the entire East China Sea is secretly acting to deceive the South China Sea......
Ao Yang asked directly: "Which sea is this dragon from?" What is he doing here? β
"He said that he is from the South China Sea, it seems that the Eagle Clan is not lying, there are indeed more than two dragons in the Sicilian continent." The little white dragon replied with a solemn expression.
It stands to reason that the Sicilian Sea is Ao Bai's sealed sea, and if the sea orcs in other seas pass by, they must get the consent of the sea dragon king, otherwise they can be driven out as a malicious invasion, but at the moment they are encountered on land, and the situation is a little different.
Rong Tuo looked sincerely frightened, and said tremblingly: "I came to the Sicilian Sea with Hei Ling, he is a dragon, and many other guard dragons, and it is the king who asked us to go to the holy lake of the Sicilian continent to protect you...... Later, I accidentally got lost with Hei Ling, and ran into land orcs, they are very hateful, and they are very unfriendly to us sea orcs, and I fought with Hei Ling, and Hei Ling was killed by them, and I was also caught blind in one eye...... Before I came, the king had already confessed, and when I saw you, I just had to tell the truth......"
This is not Rong Tuo's own nonsense, but it is really explained by Ao Kun, the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
The exchange of tasks is a matter of importance, once something goes wrong, immediately go to the holy lake to find Ao Yang, explain a qiΔ, and get the other party's help; Even if Ao Yang refuses to help, he won't drive you away, as long as you stay in the holy lake, you will be safe.
Ji Mo looked at the conversation between Rong Tuo and Ao Yang in disbelief, and was surprised to find that the eldest brother did not scoff or refute it, which was even more strange - and this green dragon, didn't he look particularly capable, evil, and arrogant just now? Why are you shrinking like a quail now?
The little white dragon circled his partner and licked the wounds on the other's face one by one. It seems to be calm on the surface, but there are huge waves in my heart: ...... My god of the sea! So, the eldest brother is a young dragon born to the queen mother, and his father is Ao Kun, the dragon king of the South China Sea? What happened between the Queen Mother and Ao Kun? Even the young dragon was born, no wonder the father was always so cold to the queen mother......
Ao Yang looked lightly at the guard dragon who claimed to have come to "protect" him by Ao Kun's order, and when he heard the other party talk about the pain and despair of the blind experience, he was simply angry.
"Go back to the South China Sea, tell sΓΉ Ao Kun, don't disturb my life again, I Ao Yang doesn't need protection, and the disaster you broke into this time has already affected me."
Ji Mo couldn't help but complain: Even a reckless dragon like you still protects the eldest brother? If I don't help you clean up the mess, big brother can live a very leisurely and comfortable life.
However, it sounds like the eldest brother and his father are clearly connected, at least they were.
The one-eyed green dragon suddenly became anxious, he quickly raised his head, the only remaining eye was full of pleading, and he moved closer and his posture was more humble and pitiful.
"Please, take me in, don't drive me away...... I am blind in one eye now, and when I return to the South Seas, I will be driven out of the dragon guards, and I will be punished by the king, let me stay, I swear, I will only listen to your dispatch in the future......"
Ao Yang ignored him, and directly instructed Xiao Bailong, "Let's go back, if it's too late, it's difficult to walk by land." β
"......" Ji Mo opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything. He was also a little uneasy in his heart, after all, he had just followed Rong Tuo out of the Raptor tribe and swam here by the river, so how could he say that he also owed the other party a favor.
"Okay." Ao Bai carried his mermaid on his back and quickly swam away with the big white dragon in front of him.
As for Rongtuo? He didn't want to say more, after all, it was the guardian dragon sent by his brother's father, and he didn't come to find him. Besides, he and Ao Yang are half-brothers, and it is inconvenient for Ao Bai to interfere in some things.
Ji Mo muttered in his heart: Guarding the dragon? To be honest, if the eldest brother really wants to live on land permanently, there are really not enough people for the dragon...... Alas, forget it, respect Brother DΓ 's decision.
Rong Tuo was abandoned, and the lonely Lingling was left in place.
After the two dragons swam away, the one-eyed dragon stretched its body lazily, and no longer saw the humble panic just now-hey~ It turns out that our great prince dragon in the South China Sea is like this? It's not very domineering, withdrawn, and seems to be quite easy to talk.
- I must follow them to the sacred lake to avoid it first, I have killed too many land orcs in the past two days, and it is too unsafe to wander outside.
After making up his mind, Rong Tuo tried to distance himself as much as possible and cautiously followed.
The white dragons in front of them swam for a while, and Ao Bai reminded:
"Big brother, that dragon has been following us all the time."
Ao Yang said without replying: "Don't worry about him, this is not my territory." "If he doesn't heed the warning and insists on following him to the holy lake, then he will have to be driven away.
Ji Mo thought about it, and still tried to briefly describe in detail what happened after he arrived at the Raptor Tribe, and he said more carefully about what happened when he met Rong Tuo, because he felt that the disaster and mess that the dragon broke into had to be cleaned up.
"So, that green dragon took advantage of me and Ao Bai to contain the Eagle Orcs, and quietly climbed the tree house of the Raptor Tribe and killed a lot of Eagle Orcs?" Ao Yang asked with a sigh.
Ji Mo cheered up and replied, "Yes, at least there are several of them I have seen with my own eyes." I didn't go into the tree hole to look, Rong Tuo stopped me, according to what he said, it was a female who was hiding inside...... "When I said these words, my heart was really heavy and stuffy.
The confrontation and vendetta between ethnic groups is indeed very terrible.
Ao Bai nodded thoughtfully, "That dragon has a bit of courage. Maybe he's been caught blind in one eye by the Eagle Clan and lurking around waiting for revenge? When we attacked, he took advantage of the chaos to climb the treehouse? β
"He didn't say that." Ji Mo replied tiredly, his injured eyes were still squinted, but now they are getting more and more swollen, he can't open them, and he is so uncomfortable, the water in the small river ditch is still too cold after all, and it is uncomfortable to freeze.
Ao Yang sneered, "Although that green dragon looked deferential and pitiful just now, he actually has a strong sense of revenge; And he didn't come to mainland Sicily to protect me, he was lying. Ao Kun also underestimated me too much, because the things he did didn't affect me, so I didn't bother to care, he was too greedy, and sooner or later he would be punished by the sea god. β
Back then, Ao Kun and Ao Ya met and fell in love, and they were together without telling the elders of both sides, and gave birth to Ao Yang. Originally, Ao Kun thought that even the young dragon was there, and the dragon king of the West Sea would hand over Ao Ya to me even if he was not satisfied, right? My weakness in the South China Sea is not permanent, give me a little time, and when I become the Dragon King, the South China Sea will definitely become strong!
Who knew that the dragon king of the West Sea did such a desperate job, he tied Ao Ya back and gave it to the young dragon king of the East China Sea, and sneered at Ao Kun's father, the young and vigorous Ao Kun was severely punished and scolded, and he couldn't accept it at all. When they first separated, the young dragon Ao Yang was always crying and looking for his mother, Ao Kun held a glimmer of hope, took Ao Yang to the East China Sea, and found Ao Ya, who knew that the gentle and affectionate lover in the past did not miss the old love at all, and impatiently emphasized that it was impossible for him to raise Ao Yang and let him take him back to the South China Sea as soon as possible.
Ao Kun suffered one blow after another, and in a fit of rage, he abandoned the crying Ao Yang on the way back to the South China Sea, and when he calmed down and returned to look for it, the young dragon was goneβthere was a huge storm in that sea, and Ao Yang no longer knew where he had been swept away......
"And what did he want to do when he came to the mainland of Sicily?" Ao Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.
In fact, no matter which sea, it is not uncommon for the descendants of the dragon king not to be born by the same mother, and it is not easy for the dragon clan to give birth to a young dragon, so as long as it is their own young dragon, they will take it back to the dragon palace to raise it, and the clansmen will not say anything.
Ao Yang asked rhetorically: "Ao Bai, I know that some dragon orcs may have the ability to control water after transformation, but I have never asked you, why do you also have the ability to condense water into ice?" β
At the beginning, his father Ao Kun still learned about the dragon fruit from himself, and Ao Yang firmly believed that it was impossible for the other party to publicize it, especially to the sworn enemy East China Sea Dragon Clan.
Ji Mo and Ao Bai glanced at each other, Ji Mo nodded slightly, meaning: Since the eldest brother asked, you can answer frankly, the ability to condense water into ice is better than you, it means that he has eaten dragon fruit early in the morning, so what else is there to hide?
"It's such a big brother, I only took shape after I came to the Sicilian Sea, and after I took shape, I was able to control the water. Then I accidentally ate a fruit, which was so uncomfortable that I wounded myself all over my body, and when I woke up, I was able to condense into ice. β
Ao Yang's sharp eyes became calm again, and he nodded, "I'm glad that you didn't choose to deceive me, and I don't want to ask about the rest." The dragon fruit is actually the poisonous fruit of the terrestrial orcs, they use it to poison large beasts, and the eagle orcs tricked me into eating one and wanted to poison me, but unfortunately they miscalculated, and after I woke up from a deep sleep at the bottom of the holy lake, I lived more comfortably. β
"It's not easy for big brother to fight with land orcs." Ji Mo sighed with emotion, "Then I understand, it seems that Qingzhe and their tribe's pearls were exchanged for dragon fruit and the South China Sea Dragon Clan, this time there may be some accident, Rong Tuo and that Jiaolong will have a conflict with the Raptor Tribe." β
What about the other Guardian Dragons and Dragons? Since it was such an important event as the exchange of dragon fruits, the Dragon King of the South China Sea must have arranged it very carefully, not to mention that it was not the first time that it had been exchanged.
Ao Yang said indifferently: "I don't want to care about the affairs between them and the land orcs, Ao Kun will not be able to hide the dragon fruit sooner or later, and let him bear the consequences when the time comes." β
"Ahem~ I really can't imagine it, it turns out that the beast tribe has long had a long-term deal with the dragon clan in private, they are really hateful, and they coax the bird of prey tribe every day to pay attention to you, big brother, the beast tribe is really well-intentioned, I originally thought that their hearts and eyes were not as much as the bird of prey tribe." Ji Mo said with admiration, he felt that the group of beasts were really black-bellied.
Xiao Bailong also said: "I heard Xitu say that the pearls of the beast tribe are all collected by the patriarch, and the raptor tribe will have to take out a lot of dried meat and preserved animal skins if they want to change it, I really admire the patriarch of the beast tribe." β
How shrewd and easy it is, the development of the ethnic group needs such a patriarch.
Ao Yang didn't say anything, and let the little husband who reunited after the catastrophe discuss and discuss it seriously, and he occasionally felt the movement behind him, and found that the one-eyed dragon was really reluctant to follow, and his mood was also quite irritable.
- In the case of not competing for status or mate, dragons do not kill their own kind, this is a rule engraved in the blood and bones. So although Ao Yang knew the other party's careful thoughts, he couldn't kill him directly.
After a short time, after swimming in the chaotic waterway, the two dragons and the mermaid crept ashore and continued on foot, walking for a while to reach the small river connected to the sacred lake.
Rong Tuo did not give up, followed tightly, and accelerated his pace after going ashore, for fear that he would be thrown away.
The one-eyed dragon was just a young dragon who left the warm and safe South China Sea for the first time and left home to participate in an exchange mission in Sicily, and now he had become so embarrassed and difficult, he didn't have the face to go back to the South China Sea, and he didn't want to wander alone - so the three sea clans in front of him were the ones he followed.
The eldest prince dragon is really generous, he actually gave the weak dragon in the East China Sea also ate dragon fruit, if I follow him faithfully and do things for him, maybe I will also get a dragon fruit, then I don't have to risk finding it myself......
When it was dark, they finally returned to the sacred lake.
Ao Bai had already turned into a human form, standing side by side with Ji Mo, and they knew that today's matter was not over yet.
Ao Yang roared loudly and pulled the green dragon Rong Tuo, who was getting closer and closer behind him, with a water rope.
"Are you kidding me? Rong Tuo, you followed me before, I didn't care, but the holy lake is my territory, and no one can come in without my consent. β
The green dragon curled up on the grass without saying a word, trembling and speechless.
"Hmph~ You think I don't know what you're thinking? Stay away from my territory! Ao Yang said without hiding his disgust.
The big white dragon hates most is not Ao Ya, but Ao Kun. Because Ao Ya left quietly when he was asleep, but Ao Kun swam away without looking back in front of him...... Now because of Ao Kun's relationship, he still has to be disturbed by these weak dragons, it's really damned.
Rong Tuo knew that today was enough, and he couldn't test it any longer, so he said with a pale face: "Okay, without your permission, I will step into this lake." β
"Leave now!" Ao Yang unceremoniously opened his mouth to drive away.
Rong Tuo quickly got up and ran out of the bushes around the sacred lake, towards the dark jungle.
Ji Mo and Ao Bai stood quietly aside, because even if the relationship between them and Ao Yang was good, everyone who was interested knew that they should not interfere with the decision of the lord of the territory, it was the absolute right of the lord.
"You go find a river to hide in, and you have a chance to go back to the South China Sea." Ji Mo suddenly shouted behind Rong Tuo.
Rong Tuo paused slightly, then nodded slightly, and walked away quickly.
Turning his head and seeing the unfathomable eyes of the two white dragons, Ji Mo explained frankly:
"Don't get me wrong, when I left the Raptor Tribe to find you today, Rong Tuo helped me, I just don't want to owe him a favor."
"That's already paid off!" Ao Bai immediately made a decision.
Ao Yang didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Ji Mo let out a sigh, "There's no way, it's not okay to owe favors." Let's go home. β
As he walked, Ji Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"It's so dark, why don't Qingzhe and them make a fire?" Ji Mo said in surprise that at this moment, he was hungry and cold, and he was extremely eager for warmth and food.
Ao Bai hugged his partner a little tighter, looked at the expression of his eldest brother, and explained in a low voice:
"Qingzhe and Xitu have gone back to their tribe for the time being, and they won't be back until a few days."
Ji Mo thought for a while, understood, and said to Ao Yang apologetically, "Is it because of me?" Big brother, I'm sorry. β
The three sea orcs walked on the dark shore of the lake, and then they all went into the water, ready to dive to their homes at the bottom of the lake - the wooden hut on the shore was deserted without Qingzhe and Xitu, so it was better to go home first.
Ao Yang turned into a dragon form, slowly dived, and said unhurriedly: "It's none of your business, it's a grudge between me and the Raptor tribe." Qing Zhe just went back to their tribe for a while to avoid it, and found a way to pick it up again. β
"I wasn't sure before, so I didn't make an appointment with them to pick them up." Ao Bai said with some annoyance, "What do you think, big brother?" How can we get in touch with them? β
Ji Mo felt guilty in his heart, and he tried to help find a way: "You have to think of a suitable reason first, how did they go back before?" β
"We sent it back personally." Ao Bai replied, explaining the reason used at the time.
Ji Mo was dumbfounded: "Then, if it was said before that the eldest brother was angry and drove them back, then now he is going to pick them up?" Wait~ Wait~ Are you sure Qingzhe and Xitu are still willing to come back? β
Without waiting for the two dragons to answer, Ji Mo reacted quickly, "Uh~ I just asked casually......"
Ao Yang glared at the mermaid and said domineeringly, "How could they be unwilling? Qingzhe lives happily here, can't you see it? You have to do your best to get it back! If the beast tribe doesn't agree, grab it back! β
"Okay!" The little white dragon looked calm and natural, "Let's go with the eldest brother." β
