Chapter 117: Aryas and the Dreadscales
The poultry at Sulu Farm are free-range and feed on Cordyceps seeds.
On the west side of the main house is a thatched-roof shed, and at night, free-range poultry spontaneously return to the shed and roost on a wooden frame specially built for them, under which Sulu's beagles who dare to bark at broken teeth are tethered.
Sulu's Beagle has a part of the bloodline of the Assam Wolfhound, and is the most fearless of death, even a fierce tiger has to bite a few bites. But tonight, Ron didn't hear a single bark, only a slight whimper drifting through the night.
The beagles were scared, cowering, watching the giant lizards climb the wooden frame, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Close!"
The beagle will be afraid, but the broken tooth will not, but Ron's mind will move slightly, the broken tooth will move quietly, the thick meat pad under his feet absorbs the friction sound, and the dark night cooperates with the stealth to completely cover the figure, and the broken tooth moves to the side of the shed like stealth.
"Click!
It seems that the huge dark green lizard also has intelligence, and instead of sweeping away the birds in the shed, it only chooses the two strongest and fattest ones, twists its neck with its front paws and holds it in its mouth, and then climbs down the wooden frame and crawls along the path from which it came.
"Keep up!"
The dark green lizard in front of it is very fast, more than a step faster than the stealth Broken Tooth, and if you want to keep up with it, the broken tooth will have to give up stealth, but in doing so, it will immediately expose itself.
"Don't panic, follow the smell and follow my orders!"
Calming the somewhat restless broken teeth, allowing the black shadow of the lizard in front of him to disappear from view, Ron calmly turned on the hunter detection ability, adjusted the gear to the beast tracking, and immediately a red dot flashed in the eye socket and quickly moved towards the edge of the eye socket.
"Get out of the stealth, start sprinting, and keep your distance!"
Confirming that he and the black shadow of the lizard were already at a distance that was invisible to the naked eye, Ron immediately commanded Broken Tooth to break away from the stealth and start a sprint, using the red dots in his eyes to assess the distance, and Ron hung far away from the sight of the giant lizard.
This tracking didn't last long, and after about half an hour, the dark green lizard flashed into a small field forest the size of Sulu's farm, and then the red dot in Ron's eyes froze, apparently reaching its destination.
Ron and Broken Tooth were getting a little closer, and their keen dark vision immediately spotted a faint glow of fire coming out of the forest, as if someone had spent the night inside.
............
"Could it be that lizard someone else's companion?"
With a twinkle in his eyes, Ron told Broken Tooth to stop and think.
So far, most of the professionals Ron has encountered have hovered between neutrality and goodness, and he has not yet encountered a professional from the evil camp, but this does not mean that the professionals of the evil camp do not exist.
This is the world of Torrell, and even the gods have their own camps due to the different priesthoods, and according to the nature of each person in the world, there are a total of nine types:
Order Good, Neutral Good, Chaos Good, Order Neutral, Absolute Neutrality, Chaos Neutrality, Order Evil, Neutral Evil, Chaos Evil.
Of course, everyone's camp is not static, and often a major event is enough to completely change a person's camp, even if it is normal to change from orderly and good to chaotic and evil.
However, in general, in order to better survive in this world, most people's factions will only fluctuate in a small area.
Ron, for example, in the world of Torrell, his faction can be summed up as oscillating between chaos neutrality and order evil.
But in any case, a professional who indulges his companions in attacking civilian poultry for a long time is clearly not a character of the good camp.
............
"Broken teeth, stealth!"
"Meow ——!"
Thinking about the possible dangers, Ron immediately put Broken Tooth back into stealth and slowly approached a small field forest.
The difficulty of the current mission has greatly exceeded the situation described by Sulu, and Sulu's mission requirements only require a clear investigation, and do not require killing the other party.
So, in the spirit of being responsible for the mission, Ron decided to get a little closer to make sure he knew what kind of opponent was continuing to steal the property of the mission publisher, so that he could warn Sulu and let him leave with the child, or join forces with the people around him to increase the mission bounty.
After all, Sulu's grilled dog meat is delicious, and the little twin girls are cute.
............
"Crackling~"
The small orange bonfire burned slowly, swaying the shadows of the two people sitting next to them into the distance.
The dark green monitor lizard scales lay quietly beside their master, the dreadscales, sticking out their tongues from time to time to lick the flames and slowly turning closer, but they were all beaten back by the dreadscales with their same scaly claws.
On the other side of the campfire, Dreadscale's temporary companion, a human girl named Arias, with her long dark green hair rarely seen in humans, was helplessly holding her legs at the moment, burying her head in her knees, exuding a full sense of helplessness.
If it falls into the eyes of some passionate young human adventurers, you can immediately sketch in your mind a scene in which a lizardman kidnaps a girl, and the girl swears to the death and waits for the brave to save her.
However, Dreadscale knew that these were disguises, just like he disguised himself as a lizardman hunter.
The girl in front of her is also a terrifying monster clad in human skin, she has terrifying power enough to tear people apart with her bare hands, and a body as hard as iron - this is what Dread Scale learned after the battle, and in the next few days of the journey, Dread Scale found that the girl can last a long time without hunger after eating once.
"Crackling~"
The campfire was a little smaller, and he added a piece of firewood to make the orange flame flourish again, and his mind drifted a little as the flames dissipated.
Towering alder forests, honey-sweet mushrooms, and giant dragonflies that glide on them all vanished after a strange call.
Then there is the endless cold, whipping, enslavement, and experimentation!
"Ariath, what are we going to do next?"
Pulling his thoughts back from the past, he threw one of the roasted chicken to his buddy Scales, and the other pulled a chicken leg and threw it to Arias, gobbling up the rest.
Half a month ago, while the experimenters were not paying attention, Fear Scale and Aryas reached a consensus, broke through the defense of the laboratory, and escaped.
However, they also paid a price for this, and fortunately, the dreadscale can have a special ability, and they have recruited a mountain monitor lizard as a companion to forage for food in this mountain forest, so that they can recover from their injuries.
And now, the injury is almost healed, and it's time for them to continue working towards a common goal. [.]
