56. Secrets of the South China Sea: Pregnant with a cub?
"Ao Bai be careful!" Ji Mo looked at the other white dragon that pounced with anger and murderous intent, and was so frightened that his heartbeat almost stopped--just start fighting without saying a word? Why don't you ask first? You're all dragons!
Ao Bai quickly pushed the mermaid in his arms away from the distance, "Ji Mo go and hide!" Then he roared fearlessly and greeted him.
The blood of the two dragons seemed to boil, and they collided heavily, and the claws, horns, scales, and powerful tail slammed into each other, stirring the lake into a turbulent and rippling splash.
Roar roar roar ~~~
Ao Yang's brown eyes narrowed dangerously: Dragon? There's a dragon in my territory? Why did he attack Qingzhe?
Roar~~~~
Ao Bai's blue eyes looked eagerly: We have no ill intentions, I have come to ask for your help.
Heh~ I hate dragons the most, but unfortunately, I'm a dragon myself. Even if I have taken refuge in a freshwater lake on the mainland, will my life be disturbed by dragons?
Ao Yang released the coercion of his body, he mobilized all his strength, and blatantly interrupted Ao Bai's explanation, a huge column of water appeared above the holy lake out of thin air, and swept away the opponent with a face and face, with the intention of lifting the opponent and throwing him out of the holy lake and falling to the stone pile on the shore of the lake.
Damn dragons! How dare you sneak into my territory without my consent and want to harm the females who live on my territory? It's intolerable......
"Ao Bai!" Ji Mo was pushed to the edge by the fluctuating water flow caused by the two dragons attacking each other just now, and at this time, looking at Ao Yang's strength that was not inferior to Ao Bai's, and the angry appearance that couldn't listen to any explanation at all, he was a little panicked, and felt that the development of the situation was completely beyond expectations.
Of course, Ao Bai would not sit still, he also mobilized his strength to fight back, both dragons were smashed to the spot, and then roared and fought together, both sides felt that they were threatened and provoked by Yan zhΓ²ng, and they were furious.
The fight between the two dragons, the others only had the share of onlookers, and they couldn't even get closer, because the center was full of ice spikes and water swords.
Soon, both dragons were wounded, and there were many white scales floating on the surface of the lake.
After all, Ao Bai was much younger, and his strength and skill were relatively inferior, so he was also seriously injured: a large area of skin on his back had lost the protection of scales, and his ice-blue eyes were full of anger and helplessness.
It's been a long time since Ao Yang has encountered such a fierce opponent: his forehead was cut by ice spikes, and the blood flowed down and dripped into his own mouth, a fishy sweetness.
At the same time, there were traces of the other party's blood on his front paws, the smell, the smell...... Damn a little familiar?
It seems that a long, long time ago, he was also a young dragon with a father and a mother, and they lived together as a family of three on a hidden island, and his mother was a very, very gentle and gentle female dragon, no matter how naughty his young dragon was, pestering and asking for this or that, he never got angry, at most he laughed and said to his partner: Look, our baby dragon is so naughty.
And in Ao Yang's very limited memory, his father's shadow is very faint, he only remembers that it is a green dragon, very strong and silent, whenever Ao Yang is too naughty, he will stretch out the dragon claws, grasp his young dragon in the heart of the claws, sigh and say: Why are his scales white? You must know that we have never been born in the South China Sea.
Ao Yang's mother always smiled apologetically: I'm sorry, my eldest brother and third brother are white dragons, although I am a golden dragon, but ...... You know, I have the blood of my grandfather Osu in my veins......
Although a long time has passed, those memories have miraculously become more and more vivid, and I can't forget them. Although he was no longer sad, far away from the island, the sea, hiding in a freshwater lake far away from the four seas, and now, he could actually distinguish from the strange white dragon in front of him...... A mother's taste?
Ao Yang didn't say a word, and swung his tail again to attack the past, if he didn't hurt the killer for the sake of his own kind before, then now he is really because he was disturbed by the memory, and he attacked fiercely regardless of it.
"Ao Bai! Don't be angry, we really don't have malicious intentions, if you really don't welcome us, then we'll go right away, we'll go right away! Ji Mo shouted desperately, he chased after the two dragons with his tail swinging, not knowing what else he could do to stop their fight besides explaining.
My God, didn't Ao Bai say that dragons generally don't kill each other except for fighting for mates? Oh oh oh, mate mate, female, that female just now! A female who was tied up with a rope by Ao Bai.
Ji Mo reacted suddenly, realizing the point of Ao Yang's anger, he immediately turned around and looked back to find the female he saw first.
At this time, Qing Zhe couldn't take care of hiding, he just stood on the shore of the lake, holding the bone knife in both hands and looked anxiously, he was even more confused, he didn't understand why another white dragon suddenly appeared in the holy lake, and there was one, that one should be the legendary mermaid, right?
Ji Mo swam quickly to the shore of the lake and moved closer to Qing Zhe, who first took a few steps back vigilantly, but after looking at the mermaid's appearance, he regained his footing.
- I should be able to defeat this humanoid fishtail, he doesn't even have legs, and the merfolk of the ocean are said to be very weak and gentle and not aggressive.
Poor crossing fish, in this way, was deeply despised by the females of the Tiger Clan, a tribe of terrestrial orcs.
"Hello, hello, I'm Ao Bai's partner Ji Mo, you're Ao Yang's partner, right? I'm very sorry just now, my dragon has no malicious intentions, he didn't want to hurt you by tying you with a water rope, we just wanted to inquire about Ao Yang's whereabouts! Could you please explain it to Ao Yang? We really don't have any ill will! Ji Mo threw himself into the shallow water in front of Qing Zhe and explained anxiously, he also thought that the handsome and slender man in front of him who looked very gentle would not hurt him.
Qing Zhe was still holding the bone knife tightly, he listened to a large series of eager and slightly strange explanations from the sea mermaid, and after carefully identifying and digesting them, he explained with some embarrassment:
"I'm not Ao Yang's partnerβ" What do you call Ao Yang?
Ji Moxin said I don't believe it! My companion is a dragon, and whenever I am threatened, he will also lose his mind and attack in a rage, the dragon is a very protective sea orc, and hurting his partner is equivalent to offending his scales - and, at other times, the dragon is calm and even a little indifferent, such a stinky temper of the ocean royal family.
"I can apologize, I apologize to you on behalf of my partner Ao Bai: I'm sorry! Could you please explain it to Ao Yang now? Ao Bai is also a dragon, they are all dragons, they are the same race, please! Ji Mo felt that his heart was beating fast, and from time to time a black, a Venus, and a white expanse flashed in front of him.
What is wrong with me? Am I going blind?
Qing Zhe looked at the mermaid in front of him with some hesitation and pleaded anxiously, the other party's body was obviously weakened: his face was pale and his lips were shaking, and he shook it several times, and what was even more pitiful was that the shoulders on both sides were full of large scars, and his arms seemed to be a little wrong, because when the mermaid swam over just now, he was just swinging his tail hard, but his hands were extremely stiff and did not swing with the tail.
A poor mermaid is begging me for his dragon......
Qingzhe was shaken even more, he was also a female, and he used to be anxious and sad for his partner.
"Ao Bai!" Ji Mo looked back and found that his dragon had gradually lost the upper hand, because his combat experience was obviously not as good as Ao Yang's.
"I beg you, I beg you! Hurry up and persuade Ao Yang, please! Ji Mo struggled to pounce forward, almost falling at Qingzhe's feet.
-- It is better to ask for the female in front of you than to ask for it, and the dragon with a particularly bad temper will definitely not ignore the female he cares about.
Qing Zhe was completely shaken when he looked at the slender fishtail of the other party's pitch-black crystal reflecting the colorful sunlight, and the pearls that slowly condensed in the corners of his eyes.
"I, I'm really not Ao Yang's partner, you, mermaid, don't be like this......"
Qing Zhe ran out of options, and the bone knife in his hand slowly put down, because he inexplicably felt that the mermaid in front of him was gentle and kind.
"Ao Yang, Ao Yang! Don't fight, that dragon didn't hurt me, don't fight yet! Qing Zhe took a few steps to the side of the fight and shouted to stop it.
Ji Mo felt that his heartbeat was amplified again, and it was slow enough, he lay on the grass on the shore of the lake, and he didn't have the strength to turn over.
The chaos didn't last long.
The little tiger cub came back a step too late because his father had come to see him again. Rui was wounded, and this was the last time he came to visit Xitu before the cold season came, and by the way, I would like to bring him some food, because the snow is about to start, and the warriors of the tribe will be extremely busy: repairing and strengthening their cabins, protecting the tribe, saving clean water, collecting herbs called for by the priests, and arranging food reserves arranged by the patriarch, etc.
When Xitu stepped on the meadow of the sacred lake with the animal skin bag on his back, he heard his mother and father shouting anxiously: Ao Yang, Ao Yang! Don't fight, that dragon didn't hurt me, don't fight yet!
My beast god~
Xitu ran over after seeing the scene in front of him clearly: It's over, it's Ji Mo and Ao Bai. How did they get over? Why did you fight with Ao Yang again?
"Ao Yang, stop fighting! Ao Bai is my friend, and that dragon is my friend! Stop, they have no malicious intentions, Ao Bai is a good dragon! β
In a hurry, Xitu turned into a little tiger and shot out like a black arrow off the string.
"Ao Yang, don't fight, Ao Bai is my friend, and he told you that he and his mermaid companion are willing to invite you to the Sicilian Sea. It's my fault, I, I haven't had time to tell you yet......" The little tiger cub panted and swam to the two dragons and shouted anxiously.
Qing Zhe was completely stunned: how could my cub know this mermaid and that white dragon? Or say it's his friend?
Ji Mo was sweating profusely, he turned his head to look at Ao Yang who had suppressed Ao Bai just now, and mobilized his strength to condense a large piece of ice spikes, his heart was about to be frightened, but fortunately, the female in front of him spoke in time, and the little tiger also ran over, Ao Yang slowly stopped attacking, and Ao Bai retreated to a safe area.
"Hey~ Xitu is such a good cub, it's not in vain that we met for a ......" Ji Mo muttered with satisfaction, and then completely lay on the grass.
Qing Zhe was close, and he could hear it clearly: It turns out that he really knows my cub? How else would he know my cub's name is Xitu?
The tiger female's heart was completely messed up, and he watched as the mermaid slowly closed her eyes and lay on her stomach without moving again, "Mermaid, mermaid, what's wrong with you?" β
Qing Zhe cautiously squatted down and asked in a low voice, but received no response.
On the other side of the lakeshore
Ao Yang glared at the little black cub: "Xitu, you'd better explain it to me!" "This cub is so capable of making a fuss, and actually lured a dragon and a mermaid to my territory, alas~
Xitu looked at the defeated white dragons, feeling guilty and frightened: "I'm sorry Ao Yang, I'm sorry Ao Bai, it's all my fault...... Ao Bai, you asked me to sue him before, but I haven't sued him yet. At first, I was worried that Ao Yang would go to the Sicilian Sea to find your troubles after he found out, but then a lot of things happened, and my mother and father also accompanied me to the Holy Lake, and I was afraid that my mother and father would be sad to know that I secretly ran to the Sicilian Sea to find the Pearl Island...... So it's just, it's not said yet......"
Ao Bai couldn't even sigh, he said helplessly: "Then you say it now, I'll look at you and say it." β
The little tiger cub swam to Ao Yang's side, raised his paw and rubbed him carefully: "I'm sorry Ao Yang, I always thought that you were an evil dragon and Ao Bai was a good dragon, so I didn't dare to tell you about Ao Bai Jimo's invitation." Well, I'll tell you now: Ao Bai, the white dragon of the Sicilian Sea, and his mermaid companion Ji Mo, after they heard about your deposit, they are very welcome to visit the Sicilian Sea! β
After Xitu finished speaking, the scene was silent, and the eyes of the two dragons were still not so friendly.
Ao Yang suddenly sneered and asked, "Is she okay?" Also, is he still alive? β
"Who?" Ao Bai asked puzzled, he still didn't dare to be distracted, because he felt that Ao Yang's killing intent had not faded, "Who are you talking about?" β
The little tiger cub was sandwiched in the middle, and he looked up curiously: brown-eyed white dragon, blue-eyed white dragon, well~ they do look alike.
Ao Yang said disdainfully: "Can't you tell the smell of my blood?" Don't you think there's something wrong? It turns out that the young dragon she gave birth to later was actually so dull and stupid? β
Hmph~ Look at your ugly blue eyes, thin dragon body, short dragon horns, and thin scales! I'm really going to laugh at the dead dragon!
The poor young dragon Ao Bai, who had just come of age, was despised by Ao Yang, a young dragon who had dominated the holy lake for a long time and killed the orc tribe in all directions.
However, how could this weak dragon also have the ability to condense water into ice? Is it due to the inheritance of blood, or is it because he has also eaten poisonous dragon fruit?
Ao Yang's eyes are very complicated: there is disdain, ridicule, sentimentality, and suspicion
Ao Bai shook the dragon's tail, suppressed the tumbling and rushing doubt in his heart, and replied cautiously:
"Your blood has the scent of my mother's heritage. However, I am the youngest young dragon of the queen mother, and I also have a big brother, and his sealing sea is the East China Sea. β
My god of the sea, I am sure that there is nothing wrong with my nose, but how can the blood from Ao Yang's wound have the breath of a mother? What's going on here?
Ao Yang raised his chin high, looked down at the young dragon Ao Bai, who was half a head shorter than himself, and said viciously: "Oh, it turns out that there will be a male dragon willing to have that kind of female dragon?" Actually gave birth to two more baby dragons? Tut-tut~ It's really, it's amazing. β
Ao Bai was stunned, and didn't know how to refute: he, he should also be a young dragon born to the queen mother, so now he looks down on the queen mother?
"Hahaha~ Ao Bai, is it? It seems that you don't like her very much. Don't say it, the Sicilian Sea is your sealed sea, right? "Although Ao Yang was young when he left, he was not completely ignorant.
Ao Bai was poked in the sore spot, his expression was a little sad, but he still calmly admitted: "Yes, the Sicilian Sea is now my sealed sea." β
Xitu interjected timidly: "Yes, I have been to the Sicilian island, and Ao Bai and Ji Mo are very hospitable and very friendly. β
"Shut up!" Ao Yang lowered his head and reprimanded this troublesome tiger cub, "Why didn't you say it before?" Well? Ao Yang is an evil dragon, Ao Bai is a good dragon? Well? Then follow them back to the island of Sicily now, and never set foot in my territory again!" β
The little tiger cub was scolded and felt very uncomfortable, and he bravely replied: "Let's go, I'll take my mother and father away immediately, and I'll never come back." β
Ao Yang choked, he moved his mouth, a little at a loss, and simply ignored him.
At this time, Qing Zhe on the shore of the lake had already turned Ji Mo over, since he was Xitu's friend and had helped his cub, he should definitely not be treated coldly.
"Merfolk, mermaid, what's wrong with you?" Qing Zhe patted his cheek and found that the other party's body temperature was abnormally low, he was a little confused, and he didn't know if the mermaid clan was born so cold, but it was definitely not normal for this mermaid to suddenly fall into a coma.
Qing Zhe felt that he couldn't handle it alone: this is a mermaid, I don't know how to take care of the mermaid......
"Hey~ You don't fight, do you? If you don't fight, come over and have a look! That dragon, is it called Ao Bai? Your mermaid seems to be sick, and he suddenly faints, so come and see for yourself! Qingzhe shouted loudly.
Ao Bai suddenly couldn't care about the vigilance, he immediately turned his head to look at the other side, and was very annoyed in his heart: Shouldn't Ji Mo listen to me and find a place to hide? Was it that the female who did something to him?
"Ao Yang, I don't mean to covet your territory at all, I have my own sealed sea, and my partner and I live very happily in the Sicilian Sea, so you can rest assured. We came here this time to ask for your help, my mermaid was attacked by the damned land eagle clan, and was seriously injured, and the recovery is very bad, there is no priest in the Sicilian Sea for the time being, and my mermaid will not be able to get proper treatment......" Ao Bai said as he cautiously retreated and swam in the direction of Ji Mo.
Xitu had no scruples, he was surprised and worried when he heard the news that Ji Mo had been attacked by the eaglemen, and he had already swam to the shore and ran over there.
Ao Yang's expression softened a little: Is it a damn eagle man again? They actually flew to the Sicilian Sea and attacked the mermaids of Ao Bai?
"Hmph~ What kind of dragon are you? Actually let his partner be attacked by land orcs! Ao Yang scoffed rather disdainfully.
Ao Bai swam fast even if he retreated, and he would not hide his mistakes: "It was indeed my carelessness, that day I took Ji Mo to patrol the edge of the Western Continent, and that damn eagle sneaked up on my mermaid while I was catching a clam...... Ji Mo was scratched on the shoulder by the eagle's claws, and his arm was now unable to exert strength or lift it. β
At this time, he had already swam to Ji Mo's side.
Ao Yang swam a few meters faster and passed him to see the mermaid lying on his back on the grass.
Hmm~ This mermaid's shoulder was indeed injured, and looking at the scar, it is estimated that a lot of blood was shed at that time and the injury was very serious.
Ao Yang's expression was even more relaxed, he couldn't stand being fooled the most, and after knowing that Ao Bai was not lying, his hostility slowly decreased
"Ji Mo!" After Ao Bai noticed that Ao Yang had unloaded his killing intent, he dared to turn into a human form and walked up directly to pick up his mermaid.
Qing Zhe immediately looked away in embarrassment and took a few steps back.
"Don't you have any clothes?" Ao Yang immediately asked, and he saw Qing Zhe's crampedness.
Ao Bai didn't care about answering at all, he carried the mermaid back to the holy lake, and the water would make the sea orcs feel comfortable and safe.
"Ji Mo, Ji Mo, wake up~" Ao Bai anxiously patted the other party's cheek, and asked Qing Zhe with concern and inevitability: "What's wrong with him?" Did you do anything to him? Ji Mo is just a mermaid! β
Xitu was also dumbfounded, and he said sneeringly: "Ao Bai, this is my mother and father, he won't hurt Ji Mo, even if he is a mermaid." β
Qingzhe also hurriedly explained: "I didn't do anything!" Ji, Ji Mo swam in front of me by himself, he looked uncomfortable in the first place, your mermaid has been trembling and shaking, and his face is very ugly, he asked me to help persuade Ao Yang, and then he just lay on his stomach and didn't move, I really didn't do anything! β
Beast God, although I watched his tears condense into pearls, I really didn't have any bad intentions, and I really didn't hurt him......
Ao Yang angrily reprimanded: "Qing Zhe, it is impossible for him to hurt your mermaid, didn't you yourself say that your mermaid was seriously injured and never recovered?" What's so strange about a weak mermaid fainting in a hurry? Merfolk are inherently that weak! β
"Ao Yang, don't say that." Although Qing Zhe moved this dragon to defend himself, based on Ao Bai's anxiety for a reason, he didn't care too much. On the contrary, when he saw the young husband and wife in front of him with such a deep relationship and mutual support and help, his heart was actually sour and moved.
Qing Zhe said gently: "Don't worry, Ao Bai, does Ji Mo often faint like this?" Has he not eaten in a long time? Could it be that you are hungry? β
Ao Bai denied repeatedly: "No, Ji Mo never faints suddenly, I will find enough food every day, but he doesn't like to eat fish and shrimp recently, he eats very little, and he always wants to sleep, I don't know if it's because freshwater fish and shrimp are not delicious." β
"Your mermaid is so hard to raise." Ao Yang pouted and evaluated objectively.
Ao Bai was not happy, he explained hatefully: "Ji Mo was not like this before, it's all to blame on those damn eagles, they hurt my mermaid like this!" β
Based on the female's way of thinking and keen intuition, when Qing Zhe heard "I don't want to eat, eat less, and always want to sleep", he subconsciously glanced at Ji Mo's lower abdomen:
"Uh~ Ao Bai, how long have you been married? Could Ji Mo have become like this because he was pregnant with your cub? β
