，

Vera snapped off the small tree on one side, then cheered, then lowered her head and bit the rope on her leg a few times, and then slowly stood up.

"I'll see how you run~!" she growled under her breath, staring at Lorraine tightly, her blue eyes filled with angry flames. The flames were so blazing that they burned them to powder.

She roared, then leaned down slightly, and rushed towards Lorraine.

Lorraine hurriedly reached out and touched the back of his waist, but felt empty. Only then did he realize that all his firecrackers had been thrown away.

At this time, Vera rushed towards him with heavy steps.

One step, two steps...... Getting closer.

Seeing this, Lorraine's eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold light. Then he gritted his teeth and reached out for a cloth bag. He pulled out a handful of things in it. Then, with a hand, he went to Verasa.

Vera saw a small white crystal particle flying towards her, and suddenly an instinctive disgust welled up in her heart. She screamed, and hurriedly threw her wings over her head like an axe, her body shrinking into a ball.

Seeing this, Lorraine immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: 'This thing really works~!'

His heart, which was hanging in the air, also fell.

Vera peeked out from under her wings, and found that those small things were not what she thought, and suddenly came to her senses again, gathered her wings, and shouted angrily, "You scoundrel......"

As you speak, you have to stand up.

Lorraine hurriedly threw it again.

Although Vera knew that there was no danger to her, she still reflexively screamed again, and shrunk her body into a ball.

Lorraine grabbed another handful in her pocket, then shouted to Vera, "Surrender quickly, or I'll really make you look good." ”

When Vera saw that Lorraine would throw it again, she simply stopped standing up, but stared at Lorraine tightly through the gap in her wings. But he still shouted unadmittedly: "You wait, there will always be a time when you finish throwing, at that time, don't blame me for being rude." I'll definitely take you...... Tear you to shreds. ”

Lorraine shook the things in his hand and said abruptly, "Let's wait until you can stand up." ”

Then a voice next to him said mechanically, "Sir, what is the thing you are holding in your hand, and why is that dragon so afraid?"

Lorraine replied casually, in a whisper, "It's just rice." ”

He glanced sideways, and said, "Ferro, why did you come out?" I thought you had escaped. ”

Ferro didn't answer, but asked, "How could a dragon be afraid of that kind of thing?"

Lorraine stared at Vera on the opposite side, not daring to relax. Seeing that she wanted to stand up again, she threw it over again, so angry that Vera screamed, but shrank into a ball again.

"That's the benefit of reading more. Then he replied, "Dragons are not afraid of rice." But don't forget jì, dragons have scale armor as hard as iron, and they are invulnerable. This is its strength, but it is also its disadvantage. ”

"Downside?"

"Not bad. Lorraine replied proudly, "Have you ever heard of the rhinoceros bird?"

(Affectionately read in the Mandarin of a standard animal world narrator, as a voiceover:

In the vast African savannah, there is an animal called the rhinoceros. Its skin was thick, as if it were covered with invulnerable armor, and its head had a horn as big as a bowl, and any beast of prey would be killed by it. It is said that when the rhinoceros initiates its temperament, not to mention the lions, even the elephants have to avoid three points. But why did this rough guy befriend the thrush-shaped rhino bird?

It turns out that although the skin of rhinoceros is thick, it is tender and thin between the skin folds, and some ectoparasites and blood-sucking mosquitoes take advantage of the weakness to pierce their mouthparts from here and suck the blood of rhinos.

Rhinoceros are itchy and painful, but there is no other good way to get rid of these pesky pests than to put mud on them to prevent these insect bites. The rhino birds are good at catching insects, landing on the rhinoceros in flocks, constantly pecking at the pests that try to suck the rhino's blood. The rhinoceros is comfortable, and naturally these flying friends are welcome to help. ）

Fell replied, "Yes." ”

At this time, Baldo also emerged from the other side. As he walked, he asked mechanically, "So, dragons should also be afraid of pests." But why is it afraid of rice?"

Lorraine saw that his steps were a little stiff, but he didn't care, but scolded: "You guy, what do you know." This secret is only known to people like me who have read such an elegant and simple work of art as "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai". Don't want to think about it, what does rice look like?"

He paused for a moment, saw that Baldo was expressionless, and had to reply to himself in a bored manner: "The rice looks like maggots." And the dragon is most afraid of maggots. It penetrates through the gaps in the dragon's scale armor and burrows under the skin. Breed there in large numbers. But the dragon will be helpless with them because of its hard scale armor. Hell?"

After finishing the bird talk, he felt that something was wrong, and looked back at the two helpers carefully, and said, "It's strange how you look different from usual. It's like a zombie with a cerebral thrombosis?"

As soon as Lorraine finished speaking, he saw the two of them smile strangely at him, and that smile had a ghostly aura in it, which made people's skin shiver and the back of their head cold.

Immediately after, without waiting for Lorraine to react. The two of them fell to the ground straight like a stone tablet. Two wisps of black smoke slowly rose from their bodies like poisonous snakes that had chosen to devour people.

Lorraine couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly took a step back.

At this moment, I heard a voice in mid-air: "Boom...... , I finally got it. It's no wonder that dragons return to dragon graves before they die, and no wonder they all cremate the bodies of their companions. I see, I see. They are afraid that deadly maggots will grow on the corpses. ”

"I really didn't expect that the sacred dragon clan, the powerful dragon clan, would have such an Achilles heel. It's just wonderful. ......"

The sound was like a fingernail scraping against glass, sharp and piercing, making people feel their scalps explode after listening to it.

Lorraine looked at Vera and saw that she was also inexplicable. The two (dragons) looked into the air in unison.

The two (dragons) were shocked at the same time, and found that at some point, the originally bright sunlight had been obscured by dark clouds, and all around them were shrouded in a miserable gray mist. The mist kept rolling as if it had life, and faintly, there were bursts of screams and wails of ghosts and wolves.

A black figure floated gently in mid-air, he was wearing a tattered black robe, and his head was covered with a broken hood, just revealing a face full of rotten and stinky flesh, but there were no eyeballs in the part of the eyes, only two black holes of Hesse Forest, but in the depths of the black hole, there were two points of green and faint phosphorus fire that couldn't stop beating.

Outside the robe, the part that should have been a hand was all Sen Sen's white bones, and at the same time, wisps of black smoke continued to emerge from his body. It's daunting.

Seeing this, the two (dragons) completely forgot about the battle between each other, and slowly got together unconsciously. It wasn't until they touched each other's bodies that they reacted, glanced at each other, and hurriedly separated.

Lorraine swallowed hard, a tingling pain coming from her throat. Only then did he realize that his throat had become dry and aching at some point. He fixed his mind and asked, "This hero, may I ask where your old man is sacred?"

"Boom, Boom...... I almost forgot to introduce myself. The dark shadow saw that the two of them were shocked by themselves, and couldn't help but smirk twice, then bowed slightly, and said, "Edwood, the third senator of the Dark Council, the Grand Necromancer, and the manipulator of death, Dr. Kelray hereby greets the two of them. ”

Tired Dragon

Speech: The second part of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" (Volume 10).

Original text: The king of Jiaozhou sent an envoy to Ryukyu. In the middle of the boat, a huge dragon suddenly fell from the clouds, and the water was several feet high. The dragon is half floating and half sinking, looking up at its head, bearing its jaw with a boat; The boat was terrified, and the stop did not dare to move less. The boat man said: "The dragon who is tired of the rain in this sky is also." "The king hangs on the throne. Burn incense to wish it together, and the time will pass leisurely. The boat walked, and another dragon fell as before. Day 3 or 4. After another day, the boat people prepared more white rice, and said: "It is not far to go to Qingshuitan." If you see it, but the grits are in the water, and there is no noise. "In one place, the water is clear. There are a group of dragons below, five colors, such as basins and urns, and all of them are subdued. There are meanders, scaly and minions, and they can be counted. The gods were all lost, and their eyes were closed, not only did they not dare to peep, but they could not move. But the boat people hold the rice and scatter it. After a long time, I saw that the waves were deep and dark, and there were people who moaned. Because of the reason for asking about throwing rice, he replied: "The dragon is afraid of maggots, and it is afraid of entering its armor." White rice maggots, so the dragon sees the ambush, the boat travels on it, but it is harmless.
