Chapter Twenty-Four: Sleep

"Because of me?"

Caesar looked back, his pale yellow pupils staring at the forest elf on his shoulder: "What's the matter?" ”

Luna licked the drink from the small bowl and calmed her resentment at humans, "You must be pretending, right?" You wouldn't know that twenty orc warriors go every day to hunt the Beyth Ergothorn, right? Whoaβ€”it's your favorite food. ”

"Although the horned cows are not high-level monsters, they act in herds, and they are quite cumbersome to catch, and the difficulty is almost the same as when you watched the orcs hunt the ferocious species some time ago, or ...... Next time let's try it ourselves? ”

After saying that, Luna stuck out her tongue and wanted to lick her drink again, but found that the small cup in her hand was empty, so she had to flap her wings and return to the lair.

While Caesar wasn't looking, she secretly scooped a large bowl from the huge stone cup.

Hey, earned....

"Is that so?"

Caesar didn't pay attention to Luna's small movements, and turned his gaze back to the territory of the Crow Clan, staring at the orcs who were trading with humans.

Previously, most of Caesar's attention was focused on watching the orcs hunt for ferocious species and asking the wizard Sifu for advice on the principles of spells, and he was somewhat indifferent to the remaining orcs, he really didn't know that his food would put such a heavy burden on the tribe.

But in fact, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't change because of this.

You must know that this is a transaction with a clear price, and if the orcs want to get the protection of a real dragon in the future, they must have enough resources to invest it now, otherwise where to find such a good thing, this is not a fairy tale.

What really surprised Caesar was that the Crow Clan had been embarrassed to such an extent, and they still didn't say a word, never mentioned this stubble to him, and persuaded themselves to restrain their appetite or something.

"It's kind of interesting...... These guys. ”

Caesar stared at the green-skinned orcs of the Crow Clan for a moment, and it wasn't until the trade was over that the humans rode away that he turned and crawled back to the lair.

……

The average black dragon has very little experience in its juvenile years, and they spend most of their time in deep sleep, and as one of Eladia's most sleepy species, this will not change until their juvenile or even adolescent years.

Caesar, by contrast, was much more active, genetically modified, had no dragon inheritance to learn to digest, and hadn't fallen into a long slumber for a long time.

But in recent days, Caesar has realized that he is becoming more and more tired and irritable, and through his body's reactions, he soon realizes that he is about to enter a third long period of hibernation.

The creature became so lazy that he didn't even want to leave the lair to talk to the old wizard, but after a lunch to say hello to the orcs who were in charge of transporting the food, he dug out a huge rock from the bottom of the cavern, completely blocking the entrance, leaving a small gap for the elves of the forest to enter and exit, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Little Luna was still quite dissatisfied with Caesar's dormancy, although every time the dragon slept might awaken the sentient abilities and bring herself one step closer to freedom, Luna hated the lifeless cave, the lonely situation - and the stupid big man next to her who snored like thunder.

Some time ago, Caesar frantically ate the accumulated nutrients, and now it plays the most effective role, and the size of the black dragon began to grow in a new round in the sleep, gradually growing to a length of nearly ten meters, and his wingspan is even more exaggerated to nearly twenty meters.

At the ends of his front and back limbs, the claws were harder and sharper, and a single roll or even casual movement in his sleep would scratch the hard marl floor into a ditch, and the guy's head began to grow a little bigger, more like a red dragon than a black dragon, and his cheek muscles became stronger and more developed to enhance the bite force of his mouth.

In order to protect the cavity of Caesar's neck from the outside, which contained the special solution, his chin also grew slightly, but the change was not noticeable, and it was far from the extent of the change that could be seen with the naked eye.

At the same time, the fangs on the anterolateral side of Caesar's maxilla became thicker to the point of protruding from the mouth, which could be seen from the outside even with the mouth closed.

In his mouth, the fangs of his upper and lower jaws became thin and short, and it is worth mentioning that this time he was asleep, Caesar had ten new teeth with jagged edges, which were densely distributed around the mouth along with the other teeth.

Time flies, and during Caesar's slumber, Luna, who signed a contract with him, almost never goes out, except for the occasional pick-up of the unnamed plant to boil water, and spends most of her time in her own small house, sometimes tidying up her nest when she is in a good mood.

"Every time dragons have to sleep for so long, won't worms grow grass on their bodies?"

On this day, Luna had a whim, and cautiously approached the black dragon in front of her, which was huge for her, and she needed to be cautious enough, because the thorns on Caesar's body were also very lethal in his sleep, and every time he twisted his neck or rolled over, Luna had to quickly dodge it.

- If she is suppressed by this big guy, it is impossible for her to break free with her current ability.

When she approached Caesar's body, a strong smell immediately penetrated Luna's nostrils.

"Gross-"

The fairy of the forest made a regurgitating gesture and said resentfully: "It's all stinky......"

The black dragon had been asleep long enough this time that it was covered in dust and condensed dirt, and she knew that this strange black dragon didn't like filth either, so Luna tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally flapped her wings and carefully cleaned it up.

This took a lot of work on Luna, you must know that the black dragon with a body size of nearly ten meters is no less than a behemoth for the small forest fairy, fortunately, it is idle and idle, looking at the shiny scales Luna is still quite accomplished, so after every break, the little guy will still work very hard as always.

But Caesar didn't know anything about them, and he slept soundly.

β€”β€”

During Caesar's sleep, the green dragon and the human adventurers also fought into a war, after gaining the support of the northern countries, the main force to challenge the green dragon has changed from adventurers to a real kingdom legion, and in this tug-of-war, the green capital jade is also famous for its strong strength, and has won the refuge of many evil races, incorporated into the army of the green capital, and the two sides are evenly matched.

It looks like the war will drag on for a long time, until one side is dragged down alive.

When the sleeping black dragon awoke, the biological clock in his body told him that a whole year had passed, and that it was still the dry season, and the air was hot and dry.

Caesar felt that the cave was much smaller, but he soon realized that it was because of his size, and as soon as the creature woke up, his stomach twitched, and he was so hungry that he had to find something to put on his stomach.

Caesar hurried out of the lair.

The Crow Clan below the hill was still the same as usual, and when they found that the black dragon had awakened and grown larger, the orc warriors realized that their hard days were coming again.
