Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Millennium Dragon
The black shadow fell directly on the deck, startling the pirates next to them, but they quickly calmed down, there were two cadres on the ship, a reserve cadre and her partner, and Arceus was here, this kind of lineup made their hearts full of confidence.
A few pirates bravely walked over, and before they could scold, there was a roar of a beast, and a pair of red pupils in the darkness revealed a dangerous gaze.
As the ship's searchlight shone on, a strange creature appeared on the deck, with a green back and a white belly, similar to that of a western dragon, but with long hair, front paws and wings, and huge bird claws on its hind limbs.
The thick tail lay across the deck, and its body length was roughly estimated to be eight or nine meters, but now it looked very weak, a large black arrow pierced its wings, and it also had something similar on its body, which caused it to fall.
And there is an iron lock behind the black arrow, and the end of the iron lock is connected to a heavy object, which seems to have been specially made by someone to capture it.
"This thing is.... Millennium Dragon?! ”
Quinn's biological knowledge allowed him to quickly recognize the species of this thing, a special creature called the Millennium Dragon, but the name was the Millennium Dragon, and their appearance was more similar to a combination of Archaeopteryx and dinosaurs.
They are called millennium dragons because they live long enough.
"Brother Quinn, what is a Millennium Dragon?"
"A legendary creature whose bones are rumored to have immortal bones, but it's fake." The reason why he knew, of course, was because MADS had studied this kind of rumor in the first place.
The study of the bloodline factor involves all kinds of strange creatures, although the Millennium Dragon is rare, but as long as it is a species that exists in this world, the world government can always find some clues.
The ideal burial and birthplace of the Millennium Dragon is Dragon Island, which is hidden under the deep sea of the East China Sea, and this island only surfaces once every thousand years, but not all Millennium Dragons can die here.
Millennial dragons that died or were born outside also existed, and through simple research and experimentation, it was natural to conclude that it was just fake news.
Moreover, if this is true, then it is estimated that there will not be a single Millennium Dragon in the outside world, and the people of the World Government will not let this creature live outside.
No matter how much manpower and material resources are spent, they will also hunt this race to collect dragon bones and keep them in small quantities in their own hands.
The so-called secret of immortality is just a rumor, if the dragon bone of the Millennium Dragon can really make an elixir, then it is very unreasonable that the Millennium Dragon itself will age and die.
However, it turns out that there are still people who believe in this legend, otherwise they would not have hunted the thousand-year-old dragon.
As for how he came to this conclusion, the scars on the Millennium Dragon's body speak for themselves, and only humans or subhumans would use such things.
Quinn was showing off his knowledge by doing science work to the people around him, but when he talked about some of the experiments, the injured millennial dragon roared at him, causing more blood to gush out of his already injured body.
"What is this guy doing, is he dying?"
"It's saying, you bastard, you dare to hurt, its kindred, you have the ability to go over, it wants to bite you to death, well, it's probably, that's it, meaning."
Elizabeth's staccato voice rang in Quinn's ears, and with a little more study, Elizabeth would be able to communicate almost as freely as a human.
Adult millennium dragons can understand human speech, but they can't speak, and humans can't understand their roars.
However, it is well known that all land creatures other than humans and subhumans in the Pirate World speak the same language, which can be seen from Chopper's translation function, whether it is a camel or a bird, even a special creature such as a kung fu manatee, he can understand it as well.
Blue in the City of Seven Waters, ordinary sea beasts, and Chopper can understand their words, but the fish don't seem to understand the words, and the fish and other animals probably don't speak the same language.
As for the Sea Kings, only each generation of Sea Emperors and those who can listen to all things can understand their words.
The language of the millennial dragon is the same as that of Elizabeth, so Elizabeth acted as the translator.
Otherwise, only Arceus would be able to understand what he was saying on board.
"It's wrong, I mean I've studied the material sent by others, it's the first living thousand-year-old dragon I've ever seen."
Quinn wasn't explaining to the Millennium Dragon, but to Shaina, who hated the so-called experiments of the World Government the most, not only on her and Abel, but also on other races.
She wouldn't be near Quinn's lab, and Quinn wouldn't talk about it in front of her, but this time he got a little carried away and broke the tacit understanding between the two.
Recently, Shaina has been by Arceus's side every night, and she seems to have gained a lot of strength, and she also has the idea of developing "Quinn Bowling", which makes Quinn have to guard against it.
"The Great Secret of Eternal Life... It seems that Olga is not mistaken, I think the direction of the treasure map is the island where this thousand-year-old dragon lives. ”
Quinn began to change the subject, but the method of this diversion was very stiff and the effect was not obvious, and just when he had a headache, someone helped him, and a cannonball hit the hull directly.
The waves scattered around Arceus, and the splash soaked the deck next to Arceus, and Quinn's eyes almost lit up when he saw all this.
"Lord Arceus! It is unforgivable that anyone would dare to disturb your purity! I'm going to get them! ”
Quinn took off directly into the air in the form of a tropical dragon and rushed in the general direction, leaving only the pirates on the ship to look at each other.
"Do you dare to act a little more pompous with this bastard..."
"Shaina, you go with him too, I don't think he's reliable."
"Yes, Lord Holy Beast, I'll get rid of those who fired the cannons." As he spoke, he waved his wings to catch up with Quinn, who had flown out early, while Arceus walked over to the thousand-year-old dragon.
Since this thing has lived for a long time, they may know something about the past.
The slate can appear in the belly of the sea king, and it is possible to appear in a thousand-year-old dragon nest.
The struggle just now was already the last strength of the thousand-year-old dragon, and at this time it was already lying on the deck extremely weak.
