Chapter 4: The Black Pearl of Hatred

"Roar!!

The piercing roar shook Tho'ou, who had just come out of the forest, only to see a black-covered silver-horned rhinoceros crashing towards him, twice as fast as the usual silver-horned rhinoceros. In a moment's time, Solo jumped sideways to avoid the fatal blow of the silver-horned rhinoceros.

Putting down the egg in his hand and moving his wrist, Tho's eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's so dangerous, it's going to be over if you get hit just now, this silver-horned rhinoceros looks very strange, and its strength is much stronger than that of ordinary silver-horned rhinoceros, so the meat should be more delicious!!"

Thinking of this, Sawo rushed forward without saying a word, and a whip leg that was so fast that it almost produced a sonic boom slammed into the flank of the silver-horned rhinoceros, and the huge force directly made the silver-horned rhinoceros turn sideways on the ground several times before falling to the ground and wailing.

"Well, it looks like I'm using a little more strength. Mr. Rhinoceros, seeing that you screamed so badly, let me put an end to your suffering, your father called you home for dinner. Tho'ou, who had not realized the slightest as the culprit, rushed forward and punched again, and the poor mutant silver-horned rhinoceros closed his eyes in humiliation in such torture before he could exert his due strength.

After dealing with the silver-horned rhinoceros, the nervous Solo finally realized that something was wrong. The dragons, large and small, were constantly flying out of the terrifying giant eyes in the sky, and the already gloomy sky became even darker under the cover of the dragons' huge bodies.

Although the green eyes of the giant eyes did not move, Solo always had the feeling that the giant eyes were staring at him, and a terrible thought began to breed in Tho's heart, ignoring the spoils that had just been harvested, Solo took a step towards the direction of the village with the giant egg.

-- Dividing line --

In Degen Village, behind a remnant stone wall, a middle-aged man with curly hair and a strong man with a scruffy beard leaned against the wall and carefully controlled his breathing, for fear that one would accidentally alarm the terrifying guy outside.

Needless to say, these two are none other than the head of Degen Village, Andrew Degen, and Tom, the only blacksmith in Degen Village. The tacit understanding cultivated by years of bickering allows the two to make each other understand what they mean through their eyes and gestures even if they don't speak.

The following is the content of this "conversation" between the two middle-aged men:

"Andrew, didn't you tell you to take everyone to a secret cave to hide, why did you come back again. ”

"Cut, bastard Tom, don't think I don't know what you're up to, Solo is my son, and you're waiting for him here. ”

"Hey, I didn't expect Andrew's intelligence to increase, stop talking nonsense, wait for me to attract the attention of the guy outside, you take the opportunity to leave quickly, Degen Village can be without a blacksmith but not without the village chief. ”

"Ahh Now, in the name of the head of Degen, I order Tom, a villager, to get out of here as soon as possible. Andrew looked at Tom with a serious expression, and the majesty of the head of a village was unmistakable...... At least that's what Andrew himself thinks.

"You have the ability to do it, and you dare to play the prestige of the village chief with me, if it weren't for the inappropriate time now, I would definitely hit you in the face with a hammer, believe it or not. Let's stop fighting, draw fists, whoever loses will leave, and the winner will stay here and wait for Soo. ”

"That's okay, once the winner is decided, the loser will get out immediately!!"

"Good!!"

"Showdown, Stone" ✘ 2

"Showdown, cloth" ✘ 2

......

Maybe the two middle-aged men really have a heart, a dozen or so are all draws, the two who played up didn't notice at all, a huge red dragon head quietly appeared above the stone wall, the red dragon who had just come to Daist was puzzled to see the strange behavior of these two "reptiles", stretched out a claw and scratched his head, and looked at it with interest.

"Showdown, Stone"

"Showdown, Scissors"

Tom stared blankly at his open index and middle fingers, completely unable to accept that he had lost to the fat blond man in front of him, and that fat man was still showing off his might and waving his fist at him, and the smile on his round face looked as much as he owed it.

"It's okay, Andrew, but he just won once with his fist, and he wasn't afraid to throw the oil out of his body. Tom grunted.

"Oh my god, Tom, you pig, get out of the way!!" Andrew yelled as he shoved Tom aside.

"Andrew, what are you doing...... Oh my God, fat man, let's run. ”

I saw that the place where Andrew stayed just now had been replaced by a huge red dragon head, and the dragon pupils the size of a human head stared at Andrew and Tom deadly, and the shining teeth of cold light interlaced the sound of steel colliding, and the transparent ambergris continued to drip on the ground. Obviously, the red dragon has seen enough of the tricks of these two "reptiles", and now, it is time for these two "reptiles" to sacrifice their humble lives.

Andrew and Tom dared to linger, turned over and got up and ran away. Don't look at Andrew's fat body, his legs are not long, but he can run even faster than Tom who is tall and long-legged, and the biggest reason for this is - Andrew is the only lower-rank fighter in the village whose strength has reached nine stars (although others including Solo don't know), Tom's strength is slightly inferior, but he is also a genuine eight-star lower-rank warrior, and it has to be said that it is a miracle that two high-star lower-level fighters can appear in such a small village with a population of less than 100. However, at this time, the two "masters" who were not bad even if they were placed in a town were evading the pursuit of the behemoth behind them.

Although the red dragon chasing Andrew was only a first-stage inferior dragon, in terms of level, it was equivalent to a three- or four-star median warrior of a human race, and with the natural tenacity of the dragon clan, even a human of the same level had a very small chance of winning in a two-on-one situation, let alone two humans who were one level lower than it. If they are overtaken, there is no doubt that Andrew and Tom will have to spend the rest of their lives in the belly of the red dragon.

"Andrew, you run faster, hurry up and run to the Starry Night Forest (the forest where Sawo proclaimed himself the 'Son of the Forest') to find Tho's boy, and then lead everyone to the nearest city to take refuge, hoping that those cities can withstand the onslaught of the dragons. Tom yelled as he ran.

"Bastard, how can you order my eight-star little blacksmith to order me to be the head of a village and a nine-star warrior, and if you want to go, you can go, remember to find Sawo and lead everyone to live, now is the time for me, a man who has carried the name of the village chief for so many years, to do his duty as the village chief, remember, you must live!!" Andrew finished speaking, and without allowing Tom to refute, he grabbed his hand and threw him in the direction of the Starry Night Forest, while he returned to entangle the red dragon.

Ignoring Tom's surprise, Andrew yelled at Tom while struggling to dodge the Red Dragon's attack: "Tom, one of us must survive, find Solo and lead everyone to survive, don't let me, the chief of the village, do the greatest thing for the village to go bankrupt because of your hesitation, please, my friend." ”

Tom stopped trying to rush to help Andrew, took one last look at the fat blonde man who usually looked unpleasant, gritted his teeth and turned around and ran towards the Starry Night Forest, looking up at the sky with his eyes blinking and trying not to let the hot tears that surged into the corners of his eyes flow, but the figure desperately entangled the red dragon always lingered in his mind, and the tears still fell after all, and with a tiger roar, Tom tried his best to rush towards the Starry Night Forest.

In just a few minutes, Tom met Saw, who was hurrying back.

"Uncle Tom, why are you here? Is there something big going on in the village?, and what about my father?" said Tho, who paused, and asked his question as if in a barrage.

"I don't have time to explain little Sawo, you just need to know that the current world is no longer the original world, the future world is likely to be the world of the dragon clan, Andrew tried his best to drag a terrible red dragon, now you and I hurry up and go to the secret cave from another way to find everyone, the future Degen Village will depend on you to lead, don't let your father die in vain." ”

Hearing Uncle Blacksmith's words, a certain string in Tho's mind "broke" and broke, and when he thought of the father who always laughed and joked with himself, the father who always asked Aunt Laura for jam with a straight face, and the father who always stayed on his lips every time he said he wanted to beat himself, he was facing a giant dragon alone, and Tho's head was a mess. The only consciousness that was still awake told him that he must save his father no matter what.

Tom expected that Solo would go back to save Andrew despite the dissuasion, so he was ready to stop Solo and even knock Solo unconscious if necessary, however, I don't know if it was because of the explosion of potential under the rage, Tom couldn't stop Solo at all at this time, looking at the figure in front of him who was getting farther and farther away, Tom could only follow back to Degen Village, he still had a trace of hope in his heart: maybe a miracle would happen. Tom didn't notice it in a hurry, and at this time, Saw's blue pupils were constantly flickering between blue and black.

In Degen Village, Andrew looked so embarrassed and embarrassed at this time, his whole body was burned by the flames spewed by the red dragon, and his golden curls were also burned into a charred lump on his head, emitting a foul smell.

The red dragon in front of him is too powerful, Andrew has tried various ways to attack it but with little success, and people have the advantage of wings, they can only rely on two legs, they can't run away, they can't fight, if it weren't for the bad taste of this dragon to play with prey, Andrew would have become a charcoal roast fat man at this time and was swallowed by the red dragon. The worst thing is that at this time, the red dragon is obviously impatient with this game of cat and mouse, and when he opens his mouth, the red fire element begins to condense in his mouth, and it seems that he is about to deliver the final blow to the "prey".

"Hehehe, it's reached the limit, and the body is no longer obedient, Tom should have found the little death. I'd love to take one last look at that little preserved egg. Hey, hey, I didn't expect that I, Andrew, would have to sacrifice my life for the village one day, and it still feels good to be a hero, although it's just a one-time thing. Andrew thought about what he didn't have, and then closed his eyes at the speeding fireball.

"Father, don't !!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Andrew opened his eyes sharply, and his round face was flushed with a fireball flying at a rapid speed.

"Tom, you untrustworthy fellow. ”

The fireball also arrived as scheduled, which was the last thought in the village chief's head.

rumble

Andrew's body was mercilessly devoured by the fiery serpent.

"Father!! ah!! damn dragons, I want you to die!!!!! die a hundred times!!" Witnessing the scene of Andrew's fall, Tho's spirit finally collapsed, the original sapphire eyes completely became a lonely black pearl, and the short aqua blue hair became a long black hair that stood upside down, and the whole person exuded a cold aura that made people retreat.
