"Squeak!"

"Rattletail, dragon!"

"Kara Kara Kala~"

As the last tail swayed, an invisible force spread with the sound, and the Sandfury Moonlight Rats who heard the slightly different sound of the spring water flowing immediately fell into a panic, and they twisted their bodies and heads uneasily, but they did not have the courage to escape.

Then, the gravel on the side of the tail slowly floated away, revealing a huge gray-ochre lizard about fifty centimeters in color, this lizard had a snake-like neck fold with eyes, but it was still in a state of contraction, and on its back was a series of slender spines, one attached to the tail.

"Shhh

"It's not much, but it's enough to fill your stomach for a few days!"

Although it hissed, it opened its mouth to reveal authentic dragon language.

Just as Miska said in her terror, the creature in front of her, which resembled a lizard and a cobra more than a dragon, was an authentic dragon, and its name was exactly that—Rattletail!

This is a dragon that lives only in the desert, preferring to burrow into its nest and enjoy life rather than let the whole world know its prestige.

In fact, they do the same - even hunting, they lurk in the soft gravel, attract all kinds of creatures with the wagging sound of their tails, and launch surprise attacks when their targets pass by.

Conspicuously different in appearance from other dragons, rattletails have no wings, claws with membranes between them, sharp teeth in their throats, and a rattlesnake-like tail - but admittedly, they are pure dragons, not wurms.

At birth, rattletails had smooth ochre scales that grew darker and darker as they aged, eventually becoming dark purple, dark gray, or black in adulthood.

Young rattle-tailed dragons had two clumps of sarcoma on their neck, and when they reached adulthood, they would turn into special ribbed neck folds. The expansion and tightness of an adult rattletail dragon's neck fold correlates with its anger level, and usually only fully unfolds when fighting an enemy such as the Blue Dragon.

As far as dragons are concerned, rattle-tailed dragons have a very short lifespan, they age five times faster than ordinary dragons, so they have reached the age of the primeval dragon at the age of two hundred and forty, and can live up to three hundred years old.

However, such a rapid growth rate also means that it only takes two hundred and forty years, and when other dragons are still young dragons and have the strength of young dragons, Rattletail Dragons already have the power to destroy a country!

............

Rattletails can get the nutrients they need to survive from heat and sunlight, but they prefer to eat meat - and if they have the chance, they won't let go of even intelligent creatures.

And if they come into contact with a rattletail dragon while they are not hungry, they are also willing to talk to other sapient beings, and may ally with sapient beings if they have enough wealth.

Legend has it that sometimes rattle-tailed dragons would capture adventurers or merchants in order to gain information from the outside world - of course, most of those caught ended up being food for rattle-tails.

The rattletail that crawled out of the gravel at the moment was nothing more than a young dragon, but it was enough to devastate the entire Sandfury Moonlight Rat hunting party - although the Moonlight Rat was able to catch rattlesnakes, in terms of challenge level, rattletails and rattlesnakes were not on the same level at all.

"Shhh

"I'm moving!"

The huge mouthparts open and countless sharp teeth can be seen wriggling in the throat - unlike other dragons, once the prey falls into the throat of the rattle-tail, it will no longer retain its intact body, because these teeth, which are like a combination of a blender and grinder, will instantly grind the prey into a pulp that the rattle-tailed dragon can better absorb - which is also matched by the rattle-tail's extremely fast growth rate.

............

"Squeak!"

Shrieking with a shudder, Miteka shuddered and closed her eyes - as a decoy rat, Miteka was the closest moonlight rat to her prey, and naturally she was closest to the rattle-tailed dragon when it crawled out of the gravel - naturally, he was also the first target to devour the rattle-tailed dragon.

However, the expected pain did not come, and after a moment of slow hesitation, Miteka slowly opened her eyes.

As a result, the back of a majestic moonlight rat riding a huge beast (at the angle of the moonlight rat) came into view, and the rattle-tailed dragon, whom he thought was extremely dangerous, had retreated into the distance.

"Squeak!"

"You don't need to be afraid!"

"It's just a little rattletail!"

Appearing in front of the Sandfury Tribe's Moonlight Rat Hunting Team and rescuing them, it was naturally Ron who came to the Enok Desert to find the Wind God - relying on a magic map and compass, Ron easily found the right direction and crossed half of the Sword Desert region - fully prepared, with plenty of water and food, all Ron had to worry about was the heat of the day and the cold of the night, as well as the unlikely appearance of higher creatures.

If Ron hadn't encountered the Sandfury Moonlight Rat Hunting Party, he would have gone straight to the location provided by Graypaw, confirmed by the Halfling Wanderer, and set out to find the mythical creatures possessed by the Wind Divinity - however, when Ron saw the Moonlight Rats living in the desert, his interest in finding the Wind Divinity was temporarily suspended.

Just like Ron thought before entering the teleportation array, since the Moonlight Rat leader Grayeye in the Mage Tower has a fairly high level of intelligence, why can't other Moonlight Rats have it?

So, directing Broken Tooth into a stealth state—after entering the Paradigm Path, Broken Tooth's stealth ability has taken a qualitative leap forward, and it is able to hide its form even if there is no shadow—and Ron follows the Sandfury Hunting Party for several days.

Whether it is physical or intellectual,

Rattle [Supernatural Abilities]:

Rattle-tails can shake their tails in standard motions to make them cluck, and non-dragon creatures within 240 feet must pass the Will Waiver (difficulty 10 + half of Rattletail's life dice + charisma adjustment), otherwise they will panic 4d6 under the effect of this sonic wave and psychic influence, but the life of life dice above 5 will be changed to 4d6 rounds. Those who pass the Will Waiver will no longer be affected by the same dragon's tail effect for the next 24 hours. As long as the gurgling sound from the tail effect has not stopped, all creatures within this range that can hear the sound (including dragons) must pass the Concentration check of Difficulty 15 before they can cast or use a spell ability.

The wingless giant dragon has a pair of large neck folds around its head, black with purple in color. When he wagged his tail maliciously and made it cluck, the dark gray scales on his body reflected slightly in the sunlight. He prefers warm climates and usually only spends time in areas with soft soil.
