Chapter 55: A Chance Encounter in the Mountains
After two days of walking on the mountain road, Eliza was already in pain, her delicate little feet had been blistered, and every step she took hurt and made her grin at the pain. Sawan also felt that the soles of his feet were burning, but the dragon's skin was rough and thick, and it was not enough to blister. Sawan didn't have much to do about Eliza's situation, so he had to carry Eliza on his back.
Eliza's weight and the strength of the dragon clan can be regarded as light as a feather, although he carried a person, but Sawen's speed was faster than before, and Eliza, who didn't have to walk by herself, was responsible for chatting with Savin, and the two were talking and laughing along the way. By evening, the two of them had gradually walked out of the dense forest, and a towering red mountain suddenly blocked the way. The two of them looked up at the red mountain, the bare peaks contrasted with the dense forest around it, and it was difficult to see the green on the mountain except for a few sparse weeds.
Sawan looked at the sky, it was still some time before it was dark, and he discussed with Eliza, "I'll work harder, let's climb this mountain and rest." ”
Eliza had no opinion, so Savan carried Eliza on his back and walked up the hill. Savin had thought that this was a hill, and that it was a forest when he had climbed to the top of the hill with Eliza on his back and looked ahead, and then he was dumbfounded, and it turned out that there were endless hills in front of him, and this red mountain was far bigger than he had imagined.
Sawen and Eliza were immediately deflated, and Eliza sighed: "Alas, why is this mountain so big, I thought it would be over and over." ”
Sawin also said, "Yes, this mountain is too big, and you have to climb it step by step, and you can pass it if you swim in the sea casually." Speaking of which, both of them inevitably miss the days in the sea, when they wanted to travel on land, but now they feel that it is convenient to be in the sea when they are on land.
At this moment, a large bird whistled through the sky, and Sawin said with great envy: "If only we could fly, such a big mountain will fly over." ”
Eliza suddenly asked strangely, "Don't dragons all have wings, why don't you?"
Sawin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled what his teacher Osiris's had told him, long before the dragon clan entered the ocean, they lived on the continent, and the dragon clan at that time did have wings, it is said that some high-level dragons even have more than one pair of wings, and dragons with four or six wings have appeared, but for some reason, the dragon clan suddenly came to live in the ocean, in order to adapt to the environment of the sea, not only the wings gradually degenerated, but the soles of the limbs and feet also slowly grew flippers.
Sawin told Eliza about these anecdotes, and Eliza suddenly said, "I think it's strange, your dragons are different from other creatures in the ocean, you still have scales on your body surface, and ordinary sea creatures don't have this." ”
Sawin nodded and said, "You're right, there are indeed a lot of things left over from land creatures on the dragons, but it's a pity that the wings are gone, otherwise I would fly with you, which would be much easier." ”
"Now that you're on land, you might be able to grow wings, after all, they were left by your ancestors, and maybe they'll grow again. Eliza said with a grin.
Savan's eyes lit up when he heard this, although Eliza was joking, but this possibility is not completely impossible, the dragon clan will change every level of evolution, as for what kind of changes will occur Saviin is not clear, and Osiiris has not told him, so it is not impossible to grow wings again.
The two chatted about the sky before it was dark, a cold wind blew, and both of them had a cold war, they had never spent the night on the mountain before, and at this time they knew that the temperature on the mountain changed greatly, and Savin hurriedly carried Eliza and walked towards the valley below. There were very few shelters from the wind on this bare mountain, and the two of them walked all the way down for an unknown amount of time but did not find a suitable place to spend the night. Savin gritted his teeth and carried Eliza on his back until he reached the bottom of the valley, only then did he feel that the cold wind was not so strong.
Eliza saw that Sawin was very tired, and hurriedly picked up some dead branches nearby to make a fire to keep warm, when suddenly she heard a noisy sound in the wind in the distance of the valley. The two of them hurriedly held their breath and listened carefully with their ears sideways, the sound was intermittent, as if a battle was taking place. Sawin hurriedly whispered to Eliza, "You find a place to hide, and I'll take a look." ”
Eliza wanted to persuade Sawin not to meddle in his affairs, but the battle was not far away, and if he didn't find out, he might not have a good night's rest, so Eliza whispered, "Be careful, I'll hide around here." Sawin nodded, and ran in the direction of the sound.
The light at night at the bottom of the valley was so dim that even Savin could hardly see too far, and he followed the sound of a cautious trot over it, turning a cliff, and the sound of the fight was immediately much clearer. Sawin looked intently ahead, only to see a few figures shaking in the darkness, the sound of weapons colliding from time to time, and occasionally a few sparks could be seen fleeting in the darkness.
"Hell, this bone is so hard, I don't believe I can't kill him, work hard!" said a hoarse voice, as rough as sandpaper.
This was followed by a "clanging" sound, followed by another scream, and I don't know who was injured. Unable to see the details, Sawin decided to venture closer, and with this in mind, he crept to the place where the battle had taken place. There was a large rock in front of him that was just right for concealment, and Sawin pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the state of the battle, and while the battle was in full swing, Sawin threw himself forward and jumped behind the big rock.
Sawin cautiously poked his head out from behind the boulder and looked not far away, and saw five or six stout, not tall men besieging a man of medium stature. The stout men each held a scimitar in their hands, and kept shouting something, but unfortunately Savin didn't understand what they said, but it wouldn't be a good thing to say. And although the besieged man was surrounded by groups, his expression was not panicked, he held a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and used his flexible steps to maneuver with the other party.
This is the first time Savin has seen a human fight, this kind of combat is very different from the ocean, the battle of sea creatures is more direct, that is, they bite each other with their teeth, until one side kills the other, there is not much skill and strategy in the whole process, and the human fighting style looks much more complicated, waving weapons against each other and not directly attacking each other's vital points, although it looks gorgeous, but it doesn't seem to be very effective. Sawan didn't quite understand the meaning of such a battle, but the process made him watch it with relish, and for a moment he forgot about his situation.
In order to see the battle more clearly, Savin unconsciously stretched his neck longer and longer, and half of his body was exposed from behind the stone. A stout man glanced inadvertently at the side during the battle, and who expected to suddenly find someone behind a large rock leaning out to look this way. The stout man suddenly exclaimed in fright, "Ahh
When the others heard his shout, they all stopped fighting, and turned their heads to look at where Savin was, Sawin was fascinated by it, but he didn't expect to be discovered, only to see a group of people, more than a dozen eyes staring at him. Sawin was stunned for a moment, scratched his hair in embarrassment, and walked out from behind the rocks.
When Sawin came out, the reactions of the other side were different, several stout men gathered together and muttered without knowing what they were discussing, while the man who had been besieged let out a long breath, as if he had unloaded a thousand burdens. One of the stout men took two steps forward and asked in a hoarse voice, "Boy, who are you, and why are you here?"
The other party's question made Sawan not know how to answer for a while, if he said it all, I am afraid it would be complicated, he rolled his eyes and thought about squeezing out a few words: "Passing by." ”
The other party didn't seem to believe Sawen's words at all, and stared at Sawin up and down with suspicious eyes, and several other stout men also came up and said something, as if they were guessing Sawen's identity. Suddenly, the man who took the lead pointed his scimitar at Savan and shouted, "You are his savior!"
Sawin didn't understand what the other meant, and turned to look at the medium-sized man, only to see that the man had a playful expression on his face, and shrugged his shoulders with his hands spread out. As soon as the stout men saw this man's actions, they immediately misunderstood that Savin was indeed the enemy's rescuer, and several of them let out a strange cry and killed him with their scimitars.
Sawin was feeling inexplicable but saw that the other party was killing without asking, and suddenly became angry, when a stout man ran in front of Savin, and the scimitar held high in his hand had no time to fall, and Savin hit it with a jab. Wearing a dragon tooth collar, Sawan was equivalent to the strength of a second-level dragon at this time, and his strength and speed were far superior to these ordinary people, and the other party couldn't imagine how fast Sawen's punch would be. When the stout man flew out on his back, no one in the audience saw Samin's fist, only that Samhain had used some magic to make the opponent hit the invisible wall, which caused such an amazing effect.
