Thirty-nine Wolong

The brown dragon was so close to Ian that he could even make out the scales on his body, as well as the fine lines on the scales. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's like an ancient work of art, and its brown scales make it easy to blend into the dense branches. At the moment it was sleeping, its huge body undulating slightly.
This was the second time Ian had seen a dragon, and although it was obviously not as dangerous as the Dragon Emperor ten years ago, it was still like a boulder pressing down on Ian's chest, and he couldn't breathe. The dragon's sleeping appearance may seem harmless, but you can never ignore its hidden fangs and claws, which are already stretched out enough to cover the sky.
Ian was silent for a long time before he asked softly, "This is Insyx?"
Messiah had also been staring at the dragon, and after listening to Ian's words, she slowly shook her head, "No, definitely not. Legend has it that the Dragon Emperor Insykes was white all over his body, and was called the spirit of the snow by the people of the north. And this dragon is brown, more like a southern dragon. ”
"Is there a difference between the dragons of the north and the south?"
The Messiah nodded: "Just like the human beings who live in the north and the south, they dress differently. It is a fact that southerners wear less, and northerners wear more. Dragons in the north will have a layer of fluff on their bodies that are enough to keep out the cold, and the scales are under the fluff, while dragons in the south are generally covered with scales all over their bodies. ”
Ian's expression was a little strange, he looked at the dragon not far away, and noticed that there was a stain of bright red blood on the brown scale armor. I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This dragon is injured?"
"Now it seems, yes. Messiah whispered, "The dragon's sensory cells are very sharp, but we didn't react all the way, presumably it was seriously injured, so it naturally fell into a state of deep sleep, and its response to the outside world was much slower. However, in such a sleeping state, its body also recovers quickly, which is also the strength of the dragon's body. ”
Ian muttered, "Miss Messiah, although I admire that you are still educating me about dragons at such a time, don't you think we should decide what to do now as soon as possible." ”
Come on, this is a dragon, not a wild boar or a bear or anything like that. It's not even a pheasant in captivity, is it really okay for them to look at it so seriously? This dragon won't wake up suddenly and tear them apart defenseless.
When the Messiah looked up, he found that the branches above his head had been broken by an external force, just like here. So she pondered for a moment and made a bold assumption: "It was knocked down from above." ”
"What?!" Ian almost didn't exclaim, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time, and looked directly at the Messiah with a pair of dark eyes.
The Messiah motioned for Ian to look up, and then explained in a whisper, "It was supposed to live on it, but it got into a fight with someone, and then it was injured and fell all the way down from it. If I'm not mistaken, its wings should have hurt more badly than enough to sustain it back. ”
Ian looked up at the branches above, then stood on tiptoe to look at the dragon not far away. He couldn't help but admit that the Messiah's speculation was correct, and he noticed that the dragon's wings were twisted unnaturally. He couldn't help but admire the Messiah even more, although this Nizi was unreliable many times, but the brain was undoubtedly very useful.
"So what's next?" Ian kept his voice to the lowest level, for fear of waking the dragon.
Messiah blinked, glanced at the dragon and looked up again, and finally made a decision: "There is no choice, keep going up, and walk lightly." ”
Ian thought about it, and it seemed like the only way to go. Although there are three paths in front of them, continue to go up, or retreat home, or take the dragon when it is weakest, and kill it directly, and get rid of this most dangerous factor.
However, no matter what, the dragon of the weakened period is still a dragon, and it is not something that the two of them can match. Especially now that Ian has a wooden bow and a few arrows in his hand, although they left a lot of silver crossbows with Messiah's brother below, Ian didn't take it because it was too heavy. Other than that, there are only two small pieces of fire sources.
Yes, the Source of Fire is indeed one of the most threatening weapons for dragons. However, the two small sources of fire were always a little lacking, and besides, they were on a dead tree, and with a little spark, they could start a raging fire, and then they would most likely not die at the hands of the dragon, but be burned alive by the fire.
So this choice is rejected, and all that remains is to move forward or backward. It's even more unrealistic to retreat, so don't even think about it, so the only way left is to move forward. So Ian gathered up his mood, took the Messiah's hand and went on.
This was a harder one, for he had to pay attention not only to the safety of the ladder under his feet, but also to make too much noise so as not to wake up the dragon below. Although he knew that the dragon was in a weak state and was not so easily woken up, Ian still unconsciously slowed his steps, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The two walked in silence for a while, until they couldn't see the dragon, and Ian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just scared to death." ”
Ian asked, "Is it true that you said the dragon was wounded?"
The Messiah nodded, pointed to the wooden sign that Ian had been holding in his hand, and said, "If you guess correctly, it was the owner of this sign who did it." The wounds on the dragon's body were obviously caused by the silver crossbow and the great sword. And its tail is a little black, maybe it's the source of fire, and no one but humans can cause such wounds. ”
"But he's just a man. Ian still couldn't believe it, "One person, can a dragon hurt like this?"
"If it's in the Crusaders, no one can. The Messiah whispered, "But if it's the top hunters in the hall, they'll be able to deal with some of the weaker dragons." If you can join the lobby one day, you'll find out. ”
"Neurotic. Ian said, "If I could get out of here, and do such a dangerous thing, I'd rather go get a broken bowl and go on to be my little beggar." ”
The Messiah frowned, trying to say something, but in the end he couldn't. Ian didn't notice the change in the Messiah's expression, he noticed a word from the Messiah's last sentence: "You say this dragon is weak?"
Messiah nodded: "The strength of dragons has a lot to do with their size, if not absolutely, but at least most of them. Have you ever seen that one from ten years ago, is it small?"
Ian thought about it and shook his head vigorously, that kind of existence that was enough to cover the sky and the sun, he would never forget it in his life.
At this time, Ian suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Messiah what the name of the Dragon Emperor was ten years ago, and just when he wanted to ask, he suddenly saw Messiah holding his head up, and his eyes were indelible with surprise.
