Chapter 2 Forest Hunting
The blood wolf watched the other party kill himself, gave the other party a warrior salute of a predator, and turned to drag the seriously injured body away.
After the blood wolf returned to the empire with the newborn child of Yingteng, the nobles of the empire reacted greatly.
On the one hand, the Blood Wolf's exploits have earned him the respect of the other noble Predators, and on the other hand, the Predators have never adopted human children.
The upper echelons of the empire have different opinions on how to deal with this baby, after all, the tradition of iron-blooded is that the strong are respected, although the powerful warrior is gone, what to do with his descendants is really a headache for the iron-blooded nobles, and finally after discussion in the council, the decision is finally handed over to the blood wolf.
After thinking about it, the Blood Wolf decided to adopt him as his adopted son.
On the one hand, this baby is the descendant of a glorious warrior who can defeat the veteran Iron Blood head-on, and according to the tradition of the Empire, he should be helped by the Predator; On the other hand, it was, after all, the opponent's defeated man, and the other party let it live, and in return, it raised his offspring to adulthood. This is also one of the iron-blooded traditions, but in the battle of life and death, the victor raises the children of the defeated side.
It's the first time I've used it for a foreigner.
In this way, this newborn little life became a member of the Iron and Blood Empire.
After Ying Ao became the adopted son of the Blood Wolf, he was nurtured and trained by the Iron Blood Empire.
In view of Ying Ao's lack of adaptation to the environment of the Iron Blood Empire's home planet, the blood wolf deliberately took Ying Ao to live on the planet he managed, and for this reason, the blood wolf even deliberately found a human woman from the planet he managed as the nurse of the war dragon.
It wasn't until Ying Ao was 15 years old that he came to his home planet with Ying Ao after his body was able to withstand the environment of the iron-blooded home planet.
In the empire's home planet, after the empire's potential stimulation and training, Ying Ao's body has a certain degree of rejuvenation, and the dragon blood hidden in the body is richer than that of his father, so Ying Ao's physical fitness is higher, and there is almost no difference from ordinary predators.
This has attracted the attention of the Empire, although the technology of the Iron-Blooded Empire is advanced, but strictly speaking, there has not been much progress for more than a thousand years, and it has fallen into a bottleneck in the evolution of civilization.
Even though the empire was almost the weakest among the major civilizations and therefore received the least resources, even this greatly increased the empire's strength.
Therefore, the descendants of the major civilizations were very interested in the Iron Blood Empire, although the Iron Blood Empire still maintained restraint for a period of time after the departure of the major civilizations, but after hundreds of years, the Iron Blood Empire has begun to capture the descendants of the major civilizations to study.
For War Dragon, a human with a trace of strong bloodline, the empire was immediately divided into two factions:
One faction advocates for the most traditional Predators that it is okay to do research, but it must not jeopardize the child's development. The main reason is that the previous second and third generations of bloodline have not been studied clearly, and he doesn't know how many generations of bloodline can be studied...... It's just a waste of time and energy;
The other faction is the more corrupt members of the aristocracy, these noble members are not very strong, most of them rely on the glory of their ancestors, so they have a pathological fanaticism to improve their own strength, but they are not willing to sharpen their bodies and fighting skills at all. Instead, she is very interested in all kinds of research, but this kind of research is of great benefit to the overall interests of the empire, which is why the Iron Empress will allow these short-sighted, pretentious moths to exist.
And now the two factions are arguing at the court meeting once a week, and the Iron Blood Empress feels a headache, but although the Queen is not a hero, she still has means to deal with these guys, so the Iron Blood Queen choked those noble Iron Blood to death with the phrase 'deal with tradition'.
Although these nobles are very unhappy, but in the empire, the will of the iron-blooded empress represents almost everything, unless they can win over the elders of the major tribes unanimously decide to dissect and study the war dragon, otherwise there is the empress Chrysostom, these guys don't dare to do it without permission, not to mention that this guy's guardian is still a madman like a blood wolf......
For these aristocratic iron blood, the traditional iron blood of blood wolves and lone wolves who do things 'crazy' is crazy.
Therefore, the final result of the negotiation between the two sides was that the war dragon would have a physical examination every few months. Blood draw studies.
The war dragon was thus spared.
However, although some of its bloodlines were stimulated, most of the power was still asleep in the body of the war dragon, and had not been awakened.
16 years later.
In the quiet depths of the forest, even under the soft light of the moon, which is cloudless, the depths of the forest are unusually dark.
Ying Ao, who was lying in the makeshift tree nest to stay alert and fall asleep, opened his eyes suddenly, just now, the warning rope he set was touched by something, although it is very likely to be a small vegetarian animal with no danger, but it cannot be ruled out that it is a carnivorous beast that comes out to hunt at night.
Ying Ao alertly grabbed his weapon: a wooden spear made from the branches of an anomalously hard tree.
The body moved slowly, and without making a sound, he stuck his head out of the tree nest and looked under the tree: ten months of forest life made Yingao's night vision beyond imagination, even in the depths of the forest where ordinary people couldn't reach out to his fingers, he could see everything around him clearly by sporadic moonlight.
Soon, Ying Ao found something that touched his warning rope: a fierce beast that came out in the wild to forage, but this fierce beast was not one of those beasts that could climb trees, which made Ying Ao quietly relieved.
The two days and two nights of escape in a row have overwhelmed Ying Ao's body, fortunately he found a small river, and after using the river water to cover up his own smell, Ying Ao finally managed to escape from the pursuit of the swift wolves that pursued him, but even if he successfully escaped, but the long period of exhaustion ordered Ying Ao to reach his limit, both mentally and physically.
He didn't want to leave the abandoned bird's nest if he could, so he observed the beast and found that it had wandered around the neighborhood, and left without even passing by the big tree under him.
Ying Ao breathed a sigh of relief from this situation, tightened the rope used for vigilance, and then returned to the 'bird' nest to continue resting.
The next morning, Ying Ao opened her eyes just after the 'sun' had risen, and Ying Ao happily took a hitch, the guard rope was only pulled once, and then no other beasts passed, which was really lucky for Ying Ao.
After checking his belongings, Ying Ao quickly rolled down from the 'bird's nest and put away the braided straw rope that served as a warning rope, Ying Ao nervously walked towards the interior of the forest with his spear: he didn't have time to hunt yesterday, and it was already nearly dusk after escaping from the pursuit, and if he didn't find some food, his body would not be able to hold on.
