Chapter 2, Dragons and Monsters
It was an ordinary day in the forest, the sky was clear, the breeze caressed the turquoise lake, the waves were sparkling, and everything seemed so peaceful.
Herds of horned deer walk to the lake, and unlike ordinary deer, they have a sika deer-like body, but they have several pitch-black horns on their necks, each about the size of a horned deer's eyes, and when in danger, these horns will glow blue, knocking off or killing enemies.
This is "Warcraft", or in this world, humans define animals such as Horned Deer with supernatural abilities by a general term like "Warcraft".
Stepping on a dead tree that was half soaked in water, some of the horned deer lowered their heads, they only came to drink, and experience told them that there were only fangs in the lake, just swarms of brainless beasts, and unless they fell into the water, they were no threat at all.
However, in order to be wary of other predators that may appear near the water, when other horned deer are drinking, there will still be a horned deer with its head raised and vigilant to provide a relatively safe drinking environment for its companions.
This time, however, they made the mistake of empiricism, there was no danger of approaching them in all directions, the real danger was under the surface!
In the turquoise waters of the lake, a slender white shadow with a dark blue mane swam slowly, and the waves on the surface of the water were still the same as before, not in the slightest change due to the appearance of underwater creatures.
Quiet.
Eerie stillness.
The horned deer standing guard had its head offset, its ears moving, and it did not notice any danger.
It's time for it to drink.
It lowered its head...... I saw two golden dots of light underwater.
What is that?
This is the last doubt of the horned deer in this life.
The dragon jumped up from the water with lightning speed, bit off the neck of a horned deer with one mouth, raised his hand and crushed the head of a horned deer with one claw, and finally the dragon swung its tail and knocked the three horned deer unconscious, and the rest of the horned deer were frightened and quickly left the lake and fled towards the forest.
"Five ......"
The dragon has been in this world for seven days, and since the toothfish in the small lake have eaten up, except for the first day, the rest of the six days have been in a state of hunger, and can only eat dirt, which is very bad for his injuries, and he is now only curing his flesh wounds, and some of the injuries that hurt the muscles and bones must be recuperated for more time.
However, the lake is connected to an underground current rather than a surface river, and the only source of food left for the animals that come to the lake from time to time to drink after eating up the toothfish.
After ordinary creatures are devoured and digested by dragons, they don't provide much mana and nutrients to dragons, unless it is a "demon beast" like today's horned deer (in the dragon's worldview, a monster is a monster), the nutritional level is higher than that of ordinary creatures, and because the "monster" has less impurities in its body, its meat is also more delicious, which is the type that dragons like.
The dragon that eats the five-horned deer lies on his stomach on the lake and basks in the sun, which is a time to enjoy every day, and he often takes advantage of this time to think about the rest of his life.
In the flood wilderness, he is a member of the hundreds of millions of dragons, a little white dragon who is very ordinary from beginning to end, born in an ordinary dragon family, and his status in the family also belongs to the kind of dragon with no sense of existence, except for the ability that normal dragons should have, there is no outstanding talent, and he was sent to the battlefield after only three hundred years of cultivation, and finally became one of the trillion cannon fodder.
The dragon who was lucky enough to pick up a life didn't want to repeat the frightened dragon life of the past, so he decided to be an ordinary dragon, simply spend a long life, and give birth to a baby if he has time.
"Let's settle down here."
The dragon chose to be at peace with the situation, and after deciding on the goal of the dragon's life, just as the rest time was over, the dragon dived into the lake, this small lake, from now on, was completely his territory.
He will spend an ordinary life here.
Unfortunately, dragons are not one of the most inconspicuous dragons in this world, on the contrary, dragons are unique in some sense in this world.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than three hundred days have passed since the dragon arrived in this world, the sun and the moon in the sky have changed more than three hundred times, there is no trouble with war, life is easier than he imagined, and after repairing most of the injuries in his body, he does not eat flesh and blood often, because as long as he breathes (spitting), he can be satisfied.
With the passage of time, the influence of the dragon also spread in the forest, the existence of the dragon in the small lake has long been discovered by the inhabitants of the forest, the monsters know that there is a "big snake" in the small lake, the power of the "big snake" is extremely powerful, can step on the clouds and soar into the sky, can call the rain clouds in the dry season.
In the hot and dry season, in previous years, you can only choose to survive or migrate, but because of the existence of the "big snake", during the drought, the "big snake" will circle in the sky, and it will rain not long after.
At first, the Warcraft thought the form of the "Great Snake" was very strange, but after the "Great Snake" showed its abilities, the Warcraft gradually got used to the appearance of the "Great Snake", and affectionately called it the "Lord of the Morning Light and Rain". Morning Light is the name of this forest, the Forest of Morning Light.
However, as a client, the dragon did not know that he had established a positive image in Warcraft, the reason was that he had never communicated with Warcraft, because no Warcraft came to him, and he was an introverted dragon.
And it's not because of the dry season or his fear of heat, or the main reason is not these, but because he doesn't want to waste his ability as a dragon because he wants to be an ordinary dragon.
In the dragon's own opinion, he is not talented, if he doesn't exercise from time to time, what is the difference between him and salted fish?
In the flood famine, if it weren't for the need for cannon fodder during the war, his mediocre little white dragon might not have been born at all.
"The lake is still too small."
Recently, for some reason, the mana recovery speed is very fast, and his body has also begun to recover, from three zhang at the beginning, restored to thirty zhang (usually three zhang long), equivalent to one-third of the peak, this small lake that is only one mile wide is too small for the dragon, and he has to expand the size of the lake if he doesn't want to move, and it is best to connect it with the river and the sea.
In addition to this lake, the nearest river is fifty miles away, and to be connected to it, this project is not small for the current dragon.
The dragon did not complain, after inspecting the terrain, he chose two most suitable rivers, one flowing in and one out, and when the two rivers were completed, the middle triangle would become an "island", a project that took more than thirty days and was completed by the dragon alone and with his bare hands.
During the course of this project, the monsters of the Forest of Morning Light once again saw the power of the "Great Serpent" and the "Lord of Morning Light and Rain", his claws were extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay, and the hard stones were as soft as clay under those five fingers and sharp claws.
