212F, Latent
The lair of the tree feather dragon was unexpectedly close to the Eling tribe, only about five kilometers, but because there was a hill of tens of meters between the two, the Eling tribe did not care more about the situation here.
The mountain where this nest is located is shorter than the mountain just now, maybe only a dozen meters...... It can only be regarded as a hill. The entrance to the cave is even more hidden, obscured by a tree, and the entrance can only accommodate normal human traffic.
Hairless apes may not be able to enter.
Moran and Ah Xuan found a hidden body and lurked, waiting for Le Pepe.
Noha was afraid that he would be held back, so he followed Lepepe back to the tribe.
They chose a good place to watch, from which they could see the situation in front of the cave entrance, but the other party could not detect them.
There were only two or three feathered dragons wandering over there, and nothing special was seen.
Mo Lan wanted to whisper something to Ah Xuan, but saw him frowning and looking around.
"What's the matter, did you find something?"
"It's fine. ”
He always felt that someone was calling him, but when he turned around, he couldn't see anything. Ah Xuan also had a faint headache, so he thought it was an auditory hallucination caused by a headache.
Moran tilted his head and noticed that he was still frowning, so he spoke.
"Is there still a high fever that hasn't gone away? Otherwise, let's stop here today, go back to the Elling clan to rest first, their rest environment and medical conditions are better. ”
"Don't worry, it's already a lot better. Ah Xuan said.
"I don't know what Le Pepe is coming from, you can squint for a while. I'm here to keep an eye on the surroundings. Moran said persistently.
But as soon as Moran's words fell, he heard the sound of running in the distance.
Moran felt like there were thousands of troops running towards him.
It didn't take long to see a group of Swift Wind Dragons, hairless apes, and Ellings rushing towards the area.
However, there are many hairless apes that are not ridden by the Elling, and the Swift Storm Dragons are all like this...... Perhaps except for the one at the top of the list.
And the Elling clan riding this Swift Wind Dragon is Lepepe.
"It's pretty impressive. It's kind of like a revenge seeker. Moran said with a smile.
"Is this the Elling from before?" said Xuan, "where is her hairless ape?"
"There's a reason for that. Moran said.
On the previous journey to the Wurm, Noha had inadvertently mentioned this matter.
It is said that Le Pepe was once a member of the hunting team, and she herself said that she was originally the captain of the second hunting team.
Le Pepe's former hunting companion was a female hairless ape named Eji.
However, during a dangerous hunt, Eggie abandoned Lepepe and fled.
They don't know how Le Pepe escaped, because Le Pepe was very taboo about talking about that experience.
Moran suddenly remembered Lepepe's wooden legs, which seemed to have been amputated below the knee.
These things are not known to the average Elling, but Noha has been with Lepepe for a while, and only learned from the few words she usually leaked.
Later, Le Pepe was assigned to domesticate hairless apes, but due to the resentment in her heart, her methods of taming animals were somewhat extreme.
But the extreme is extreme, but this method is very efficient.
Although the hairless apes tamed in this way are less wild and unsuitable as hunting companions, they are still very effective for farming and brick moving.
“...... Although this cannot be said to be Le Peipei's fault, it is still very uncomfortable to see the ancestors enslaved in this way. ”
"Ancestor, isn't the hairless ape another creature?" Ah Xuan was puzzled.
"The Theory of Ape Evolution?"
"Ape-man?" is another name for a hairless ape?"
Moran let out a long sigh, as if this part of "common sense" was not stored in Ah Xuan's memory. Although Moran can't be sure of the world that Ah Xuan once lived in due to the existence of various strange beasts, he can at least be sure that Ah Xuan has nothing to do with the world she lives in.
Ah Xuan wanted to ask for further inquiries, but suddenly saw a tricolor Elling clan cautiously and timidly approached this side, but his direction was a little off, and if he continued like this, he would definitely miss their hiding place.
"Hey, Moran, look. ”
"Noha?"
At the same time, the tree feather dragons seemed to be aware of the large army led by Le Pepe, there were only a few at the door, but one of them shouted towards the cave, followed by dozens of tree feather dragons.
Is this a sentry? Does the Kofeather Dragon have such a high IQ?
Moran was a little confused.
"Uh......"
Ah Xuan on the side seemed to let out a groan of pain and covered his head.
"What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's fine. It's just a wound. Ah Xuan said, "Let's hurry up and get the tricolor rabbit fox back." ”
"Ah, yes, without hesitation, Noha is on their guard. Moran said.
They were so alarmed, and Noha was still getting closer...... This kind of behavior is tantamount to death.
-
- Be careful, be careful, be careful.
Noha adheres to this concept, slowly approaching step by step.
Suddenly!
A pair of hands appeared behind him, covering his mouth, ignoring his struggles, dragging him into the grass.
Suddenly, Noha's life was replaying in his mind like a marquee, and he didn't dare to think about his ending, but regretted why he ...... in the first place
"Noha. Why are you putting on a dying face?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Noha realized that the two people he was looking for were right in front of him.
"You scared me to death...... Why don't you remind me first?" Noha held his thumping little heart.
"Still complaining about us? I called you for a long time, and you just walked forward as if you were wandering in the clouds. Do you want to die?" Moran said.
It occurred to Noha that he might be too nervous, focusing on what was in front of him and ignoring the other voices.
"Now that they're alarmed, let's go a little farther away and talk. Moran pointed behind him.
The trio then moved back to their previous hideout.
Noha explained to Moran that Lepepe persuaded some of the First Hunting Squad who wanted revenge, as well as some of the Old Friends of the Second Hunting Squadron, to attract the Lottery.
"Here's to you. Noha handed the bamboo-woven insect cage the size of the Elling Clan's palm around his waist to Moran, "This is the concentric twin cicadas, when one dies, the other will also die." When they escape and the tree feather dragon returns, it will crush another concentric twin cicada. ”
"Oh, there's such an amazing thing. Moran said, "Long insight ......"
"Quietly. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry. ”
Moran closed his mouth tightly and looked around quietly, not alarming them, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Also, I've brought you some food and water. These are cold foods that won't attract them over. Noha gave them the little bag he was carrying.
"This is too sweet, I love you so much. Moran hugged Noha and kissed him.
Noha blushed a little.
"Well, I'll go back. ”
Noha said and was about to get up and leave.
Moran hurriedly grabbed him, "You want to go back?"
Noha was silent for a long time, looking at the large number of tree feather dragons who were chasing the Elling clan team away, and he wanted to cry.
He originally wanted to be a courier brother, but he didn't expect to have to go along with it.
