Duran hid beneath a large mountain rock and quietly looked ahead.

Three flame lizards of different sizes entwined with each other as if they were fighting. The appearance of the Flame Lizard is very similar to that of a normal lizard, but it is much larger, even catching up with the juvenile crocodile. Their skin can change color freely, from earthy yellow to crimson, blending in with the environment just right, and they are very strong at camouflage.

"Huh? It's a little strange......" Duran was a little surprised, it stands to reason that although the Flame Lizard is a very aggressive creature and has a very strong sense of territory and territory, it is only for non-similar creatures. For their kind, this ferocious creature is generally very tolerant, they are social creatures, and their individual strength is much worse than that of many ferocious beasts on the continent of Fanan, and only by holding together can they survive tenaciously.

It was for this reason that there was very little infighting inside the Flame Lizard, but what was happening on the mountain path ahead subverted the information in Duran's mind - the two larger Flame Lizards were constantly pushing the small lizard, as if trying to drive the little thing out of their territory, and they looked very fierce.

One of the flame lizards had a faint glow of fire in its mouth, as if it could shoot out the flames stored in its belly at any moment.

The persecuted little lizard let out a series of low, rapid howls, and Duran suddenly noticed that the little lizard seemed to have a somewhat different appearance from a normal fire lizard. A normal flame lizard, with limbs and belly close to the ground, and a long, narrow and toothy mouth, very similar to a crocodile. But although the limbs of this little lizard are also attached to the ground, its belly is a certain distance from the surface, its mouth is flat, and what is even more peculiar is that it has a pair of disproportionate small wings growing on its back, and the small wings are constantly fluttering, obviously unable to stir up the wind and air to support its relatively large body.

Its eyes were large, crystal clear, with a lustful red glow, and its skin was fiery red, not in harmony with the earthy yellow of its surroundings.

If it were a flame lizard, it would definitely change its skin color depending on the color of the environment, but this little thing doesn't.

"Isn't this guy a fire lizard? Wing? Could it be a dragon? Duran was taken aback by his speculation, but he quickly dismissed the idea, for dragons were a very rare creature on the continent of Faynan, with only twelve in number, all of whom were extremely vicious. Even if it's a small dragon, its mouth won't be as flat as a duckling.

Duran became more and more incomprehensible.

The two flame lizards became impatient, and they pounced ferociously on the little thing, clawing wildly at it, and in a short time it was full of terrible scars. It cried out aggrievedly, and tears actually flowed from its big eyes, like a child who had been bullied.

However, the two large lizards showed no mercy and pushed it out of their territory, and the lizard with the flame spewed out a small stream of flames, and drove the little thing to the open area on the other side of the mountain road in a demonstrative manner.

The poor little creature smashed its flat mouth, and suddenly its forelimbs lifted off the ground, and it stood up on its hind feet alone.

It turned back with some nostalgia and roared at the two flame lizards, which became more agitated, rubbing their claws on their forelimbs as if they were facing a great enemy.

The little thing hung its head low, covered with scars, and walked slowly down the hill, and in a short time he passed the rock where Duran was hiding.

"What the hell is this guy? Why did the two flame lizards banish it and not kill it......"

Duran became more and more curious, what was the origin of this little thing that looked like a dragon and a flame lizard?

So when he passed by Duran's side, Duran suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Hey! ”

The little thing stopped with both feet, a pair of big eyes blinked, and a very human puzzled look appeared on the little face. He stood there stupidly, staring at Duran for a long time, and after half a minute, he tilted his head and continued down the mountain.

Duran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he was now in a stealth state, and this dumb guy might not be able to see himself.

So he quietly glanced back, and found that the two flame lizards had burrowed into a dark nest on the side of the mountain road, so he released his stealth state and spoke again: "Hey! See now that I don't? ”

The little thing heard the voice again, and turned back in amazement, and he looked at Duran, his amber eyes full of curiosity and doubt.

Duran saw that this guy was completely harmless to humans and animals, and he didn't know how to like it in his heart. He thought for a moment and asked:

"What's your name?"

The little thing shook its head, and its flat mouth opened slightly: "Ah~Bu......"

"Abu? Can you understand me? ”

"Ah ~ Bu ......"

“……”

After the two of them talked back and forth for a long time, Duran was speechless to find that this guy could only say the word "Abu".

So he nodded and said, "Abu, you're hurt, I'll bandage you, right?" ”

Abu leaned closer, looked Duran up and down, and suddenly turned over, and obediently lay on the ground on all fours, looking like he was picking up.

Duran almost didn't laugh out loud, this little guy is too unvigilant, right? I met a random person, and I was defenseless at all.

Duran took out the battle bandage from his satchel, and when he was in the Evil Lands, he didn't suffer any serious injuries, so the bandage was spared. The battle bandage could be used three times, and Duran cut it with a dagger, roughly bandaging Abu's right forelimb and back.

To be honest, Duran's bandaging skills are indeed more layman's, and Abu can often be heard moaning in pain in protest during bandaging, but the little guy still did not make any fierce resistance, just blinked his big amber eyes, and looked at Duran with a pitiful look.

Duran looked at it and sighed in his heart, if this guy is thrown to the earth, he will not be able to sprout thousands of girls. As long as you put it on the stage and don't have to do anything, those cute eyes are enough to make countless women overflowing with love rush to snatch it......

"It's a pity that this is not the Earth, this is the cruel Fernan." Duran put away the bandages and said to himself: "It's useless to be cute, don't look at me like that, wait...... Do you want this? Hey, this is my satchel, you ......."

Without waiting for Duran to finish his reprimand, Abu, who had been bandaged his wounds, pounced on Duran's body very affectionately, and stuffed his big head into Duran's satchel in a ghostly manner, and only pulled his head out clumsily for a long time, and his long flat mouth salivated against the blood melon wrapped in Duran's shirt.

Seeing this guy shaking his head, Duran suddenly understood this guy's plan.

Duran held a blood melon in each hand and asked, "Abu, are you hungry?" ”

Abu stared at Duran stupidly, then nodded violently.

"You can really understand my words......" Duran was amazed, the lingua franca of humans on the continent of Faynan is a language close to English, and those who can use or understand the lingua franca of humans are all advanced intelligent beings. It's a miracle that this little guy of unknown origin can understand his own words.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally his heart was softened by the pitiful gaze of the little one, and he handed the blood melon over with his left hand.

Who knew that this guy's clumsiness was beyond Duran's imagination, his long flat mouth couldn't peel off the blood melon at all, and he could only use his deformed and short forelimbs to keep picking up the skin of the blood melon, and his anxious and greedy appearance made people laugh.

Duran slapped his forehead, snatched the blood melon with ease, easily peeled it off, and then cut it into many pieces with his dagger and fed them piece by piece.

Abu's long flat mouth smacked and devoured the juicy flesh of the blood melon, and his big eyes narrowed into a straight line.

Duran said angrily, "Stupid." ”

"Ah...... Cloth ......"

The little guy lowered his head aggrievedly, and seemed to have lost interest in the delicious blood melon.

Duran looked at the little guy's expression, and an unbearable emotion suddenly rose in his heart, and the information of countless creatures on the Feinan Continent flashed in his mind, but he just couldn't tell what kind of creature this little cute thing in front of him was - this is not a normal thing, Duran thought to himself that ninety percent of the creatures on the Feinan Continent and their special surnames and origins, although there were occasional exceptions, but it was not unimpressive?

"A flat mouth, similar in shape to a fire dragon, appears near the flaming lizard colony...... Could it be that this guy is a fire-eating beast that was on the verge of extinction in the First Age? ”

Suddenly, a somewhat unfamiliar term popped up from the deepest recesses of Duran's memory.

The Fire-Eater is a very peculiar creature that appeared on the continent of Faynan at the beginning of Chaos, but by the end of the First Age, this creature had almost disappeared from the continent. Fire-eaters resemble dragons, which gives them the ability to intimidate other creatures by nature, but it's ironic that fire-eaters don't usually use their appearance to intimidate nearby creatures. They are naturally boisterous and like to hang out with other creatures.

Fire-eating beasts have a very high IQ and can understand the lingua franca of humans, elves, and ancient gods, and they generally feed on ores that contain the power of fire, and occasionally eat some fruit to try new, but never eat meat. These gentle creatures don't have the slightest ability to attack, and their skin is soft and warm, making them perfect as pets. This special surname also led to the extinction of wild fire-eating beasts, which were quickly culled by large predators under the natural laws of natural selection, and by the middle of the Second Age, the perpetual calendar scholars of the Pearl Tower officially declared the extinction of this creature.

Looking at Abu's clumsy appearance and amazing spiritual surname, Duran felt more and more that this guy was the legendary long-extinct fire-eating beast.

It's just that Duran is a little surprised, how could a pure-blooded fire-eating beast appear in the lair of the flame lizard?

(I really ask for a recommendation and collection, thank you)
