Chapter 208 Shadows under the Moon

"It's a lunar eclipse, I didn't expect it to be ...... in another world."

When I think back to the moon on the earth, it seems to be as white and bright as this one, and the two are like twins.

This is different from the otherworldly depictions in many works.

Those worlds often have more than one moon, or different colors and shapes, which seem more magical than here.

"Master, what is a lunar eclipse?"

The little Lori in black asked, sitting on her lap.

"When the Moon moves to the shadowed part of the Earth...... Forget it, what are you talking about? ”

Xia put her chin on the top of the head of the black-clothed little Lori, holding her and blowing the night breeze, her long silver hair fluttering slightly, at this moment, her thoughts seemed to drift to the blue planet.

"But master, that dark place is getting bigger and bigger."

The voice of the little Lori in black seemed to be a little nervous.

"This is supposed to be a phenomenon caused by the movement of the planets......"

Natsu looked at the growing black spot on the moon, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The lunar eclipse on the earth is the earth's umbra slowly obscuring the moon, and the appearance is round or arc, but why does the black dot in front of you look a little strange?

"Quick, put the axe away, stealth!"

She put the little loli in black in the air, picked up the rock wall and hid in the cave, and quickly blocked the entrance to the cave.

In the dark night, a huge shadow fell into the forest, and Xia felt the entire stone mountain shake slightly.

She pressed her eyes to the hole she had poked open. Look outside.

"Meat wings?"

A pair of huge flying wings appeared in the small hole, and the sound of flapping wings came from the ears, and at the same time, there was a sense of terrifying oppression in the face.

"The hosts. Be...... Dragon! Pure-blooded dragons! ”

The little Lori in black shouted incognito outside.

"How can there be dragons in this forest?"

Natsu held her breath.

At first glance, the thing in front of you looks a little like a lizard, but it is countless times larger than a lizard.

It has a thick neck, its body covered in heavy, hard scales with a metallic sheen, and its pupils glow like lava deep underground.

"How do you know it's a pure-blooded dragon?"

She looked at the terrifying creature outside, and a tremor ran through her heart.

It wasn't the first time she'd seen a dragon.

She and Stephanie had once encountered a baby dragon cub in a deep ravine. It was hunted down by its parents for a long time, but the bodies of the three dragons were green. The head in front of him was dark red, but he didn't have time to look at the other party's appearance because he was running for his life.

"According to the size and some characteristics, the host. Head, neck. The claws, as well as the position of the flesh wings, the pure-blooded dragon is quite different from other wurm creatures. ”

The little Lori in black replied:

"But the dragon doesn't seem to be an adult...... Ah, it's not badly wounded! ”

"I'll go down and take a closer look at the master."

She ran to the dragon and watched for a moment, and said:

"This is a red dragon, probably just past its infancy, and it has a large hole in one of its legs, and the bone in it should be broken, and this wound is recent. Some relatively fresh blood stains can also be seen on it. ”

Dragon's blood?

Xia Tun, who was still a little shocked, suddenly came to his senses:

"Quick, go pick up some! Use a large bottle. ”

“…… Got it, master. ”

The black-clad little Lori approached the dragon's wound. After lifting the invisibility, he quickly took out an opaque glass bottle and collected blood underneath the dragon.

The red dragon appeared to be alert to movement in the surrounding forest, unaware that someone was taking away its own dripping blood on its numb hind legs.

Even if Stephanie is lifted from invisibility, the sense of existence in this world is almost zero, which is more effective than any ability to conceal the breath. As long as you can't see her, you won't notice that there is such a little guy by your side.

Of course. This is just for the dragon in front of them, and many strong people can judge whether there is anything around them based on the movement of the sound and air current. That's when she moves and she'll be noticed.

"I remember that dragons have the ability to detect invisible objects, so I'd better not go near it."

Although Natsu also wanted to see this legendary giant creature up close, he resisted the urge to sneak past for the sake of his own life.

Even if she is now a fifth-turn profession, she will not have much upper hand in the face of a pure-blooded dragon clan that has passed the juvenile stage, which is determined by the disparity between the two races.

If the other party is a real adult dragon, the Sword Saint and the Law Saint will also have to turn around and run, which is already a storage zài that can destroy the entire city alone.

"How the hell did it get hurt? Can you see it? ”

After the black-clothed little Lori quickly collected a large bottle of dragon blood and flew back, she asked in her mind.

Both of them know that greed will not end well, so it is enough to get only one bottle.

"There is a circular piercing wound on the hind leg, which looks like it was injured by a weapon such as a spear and a crossbow, but there don't seem to be such large guns and crossbows in human society."

She thought for a moment:

"Only the spears of ancient giants can inflict similar wounds...... By the way, the top-level magical weapons in the ruins should also work. ”

"There haven't been giants on the continent for nearly a thousand years, okay? Pure nonsense. ”

Imagining the scene of the giant and the dragon fighting, Xia couldn't help but be a little leisurely, but she also knew that this kind of speculation was very unreliable.

"Anyway, we chose a bad place, it shouldn't climb the hill to check if there are people, at least it's safe in the hole for now."

She watched as the red dragon outside the hole slowly walked towards the large cave that Stephanie had spoken of, which turned out to be its temporary dwelling.

"It's too high here, jumping down will definitely make a noise, but flying will produce elemental fluctuations, and dragons are extremely sensitive to these things, and they can't run away when the time comes."

Xia let the black-clothed little Lori lift her invisibility. Grabbing his arm, he flew out, staggering towards the forest.

Although I don't know the principle of the flight of the artifact Lori, it must be much more hidden. After all, you can't see the sky in a cave.

Before he could move to the top of the forest, the dragon in the cave suddenly let out a roar!

"Didn't you find out?"

Xia was shocked.

"Master, look below!"

The black-clothed little Lori grabbed her and flew forward, Natsu lowered her head and looked down at the ground, and found a shadow six or seven meters long at the edge of the forest.

Despite its size, the shadow was silent, and neither she nor Stephanie noticed when the other was approaching. It's like a ghost in the night, weird and mysterious.

"The hosts. It's a spider! ”

Stephanie recognized the shadowed body.

"Is there a spider that big around here?"

Xia looked at the shape of the leg that was several times thicker than his waist, and felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Every time we pass by this place, we are the owners of the fast guò, and we have never stayed in the neighborhood during the day and at night."

Stephanie was a little frustrated. Although she could sense that there was something around, if the other party was good at concealing her aura, she would not be able to detect the other party's strength and danger at all.

This spider is clearly a species with a talent for stealth.

"I don't blame you, there are so many creatures in the forest, who would have known that such a big guy was hidden here."

Natsu touched her hair, and the two of them were already hiding in a big tree at this time, watching with bated breath as the spider crawled towards the cave.

"It's good I didn't spend the night in that cave."

Natsu's heart was full of joy.

"I'll go see the host again! Maybe they'll lose both, and we'll be able to pick up some bargains. ”

The two traveled very the mainland, which caused the black-clothed little Lori, who was already a fan of money, to be unusually obsessed with money and treasures. Although Xia wanted to leave immediately, he swallowed back the words when he saw her eyes shining.

"At least it's safe here. If there is a problem, run away immediately, and these two guys don't know who is more powerful. ”

"That big spider is so cunning, it secretly laid a lot of webs in the cave, and the red dragon was entangled in the webs!"

The battle situation came from the little Lori in black:

"The spider squirted venom at the red dragon, right on its wounds!"

"The red dragon breathed fire and burned most of the cobwebs."

The spider ducked. It's so agile! ”

The spider spewed out a few more webs, and the red dragon's movement was restricted...... Its flames don't seem to be able to spit out continuously. This should have something to do with the fact that it is just getting into its formative years. ”

Natsu recalled his knowledge about dragons:

"The dragon has an organ called is-um, and all the blood will pass through this place after leaving the heart, and the lungs can be filled with energy to spew and attack, maybe the dragon in the growth and juvenile stage This organ is not fully developed."

Of course, this is a record on Earth, and it remains to be seen whether it is consistent with the dragons of this world.

"Remember that the dragon clan has a very strong physique, and it should not be afraid of toxins, and it will be very difficult for that spider to win this battle, and the body of the two sides is obviously stronger than the dragon body."

Xia asks Stephanie about:

"Is there a contact war between the two sides now? Spitting fire and poison all the time? ”

"Not yet, master, the spider seems to be consuming the red dragon's body...... Hey, there are a lot of spiders again! ”

Hearing this, Xia noticed a strange movement in the surrounding forest.

Something crawled quickly between the ground and the leaves, surging in the direction of the cave, some of which had appeared around itself.

She slowly drew her sword.

A dark shadow lunged at her from the tree, half of her body slashed off with a single sword, and sticky sap spilled onto the trunk.

The corpse split into two halves and landed on the ground, and was immediately swallowed up by large and small black shadows behind him.

"Bang!"

Her legs slammed into the trunk of the tree, her body leaped high into the air, a cyan whirlwind held her legs, and Xia hovered above the forest, her scalp tingling as she watched the spiders rush towards the cave.

"Boom, boom—"

A series of explosions were heard in the cave.

"What's going on? Stephanie, could it be that the red dragon is going to explode and breathe? ”

Xia asked in surprise.

"No, master, that spider summoned a lot of weird little spiders, and a few of them were bright red and climbed on the dragon and blew themselves up."

"Exploding spiders?"

She thought of the spider boss in a certain game, and that boss was the type that would summon his subordinates to blow himself up.

"Wow, in addition to this red spider, there are also some black spiders with very hard bodies, and the wings and tail of that dragon can't break them at once, only by biting them with their mouths."

…… Spider Army vs Red Dragon?

It's an interesting subject.

Natsu dodged the cobwebs and venom that shot from the ground, and the wind elemental wrapped around her legs carried her high into the air, out of the range of the spiders.

Unlike the Eastern Dragons, the Dragons tend to be a symbol of evil in the West, and there are few Western works on Earth that portray them in a positive light, even on a continent that resembles the magical world.

Someone hates spiders and doesn't like evil characters, so there's no intention of helping either side.

At this moment, Xia heard a long-sounding, but fast-paced language in his ears.

The words were filled with anxiety, fear, and deep anger that resounded around the rocky mountain, the source of which was the cave.

"Master, this is the language of the dragon, this little dragon who has just reached the growth stage is asking you for help."

"Dragons?"

Xia had a ridiculous feeling in his heart:

"Translate and listen...... Talk about how it found me in the neighborhood. (To be continued)
