Chapter 123: Inventory
On a windless night, the bushes suddenly shook off a few droplets of water.
A few small hunters in feathered robes poked their long heads out of the blades of grass. They smelled the smell of blood in the air and searched for it.
As soon as you step out, they stop there. In front of him was a huge pit with a radius of tens of meters, bottomless. They looked beyond here to a dinosaur corpse on a hill-like mound of dirt on the opposite side.
"Velociraptor again, little one, they're coming to steal food from you. ”
Sitting next to the carcass of a small herbivorous dinosaur, Kevin stroked the chicks beside him. At this time, the young eagle was busy pecking at the pieces of minced meat in front of him, and he didn't know if he understood what Kevin meant, so he subconsciously leaned on him.
"I'm very smart, and I know how to find a backer. ”
Smiling, Kevin looked at the velociraptors that had come by the detour. The climate here is destined to prevent the meat from being preserved for a long time. It's coming in a while, so let it be for them. Glancing at the young eagle that was gradually slowing down its eating, Kevin said secretly in his heart.
Just as he was thinking like this, a velociraptor suddenly broke away from the group and turned around towards the severed arm left behind by the half-dragon not far away. Seeing this scene, Kevin looked a little weird.
However, at this moment, when the velociraptor was about to pick up its severed arm, a flash of fire fell from the sky and hit its head.
"Gah!"
A scream came to an abrupt end, and the velociraptors, who had just run in front of Kevin, turned around when they heard the sound and saw their companions who had turned into a ball of fire, and immediately scattered their steps and fled.
"Another sneak attack, are you all so despicable?" Seeing that the severed arm was also burned together, Kevin's eyes narrowed, and he said disdainfully, "It's still conceited." ”
"Come back with us. ”
At the same time as the voice sounded, a fire lit up behind Kevin, and the heat wave hit, and the young eagle hurriedly burrowed into his arms. Stroking the trembling hairball in his arms, he rolled over and stood up without fear. What caught my eye was a huge fireball like before, constantly swallowing the waves of flames, like a small sun. A group of half-dragon people with heads and horns surrounded them on the left and right.
"I didn't say I wouldn't go back with you. "You have to coax it, Kevin said secretly in his heart.
In just a few seconds, the giant fireball that was still amazingly powerful just now instantly drifted into a normal flame, and quickly disappeared into nothingness. Through the remnants of the heatwave, Kevin could see a half-dragon man on the other side, almost like a dragon, covered in scaly armor, with smoke gushing out of his mouth and nose. Behind that steaming cloud of smoke was a pair of red-golden eyes.
......
Is the first lesson just a toss-up? Or are you deliberately trying to take revenge on me?
If Phoenix showed up, Kevin swore that he would throw these two questions out of his face. Along the way, he was full of fire, and only when he saw the young eagle sleeping in his arms did his mood be slightly soothed. It's impossible to go out, I dug such a big pit before, I didn't see half a rattan, I already had a result in my heart, and I have always refused to admit it. It wasn't until he was deflated that he temporarily put down the idea of going back and went to find food for the young eagle.
The faint morning light sprinkled on his body, and in the team of half-dragons, Kevin stayed in the sky for a long time, and he had just landed. Looking at the stilted wooden houses on the left and right, he secretly estimated that according to the speed of chasing him before, their posture of coming back all the way was almost like playing in the mountains and rivers.
"Aristocrat" is "aristocracy", and it seems that he is usually very idle.
Kevin was amused, and was suddenly stunned. In the distance, a head hanging from a wooden pole broke into his field of vision. The skull had two horns on it, almost identical to the half-drakes around him. The only difference is that the face on the head is known to him, and it is the half-dragon man who was driven away by him before.
This is a sign that the situation is getting out of control! Presumably, the patriarch must have been furious the night before. Then it's strange why these half-dragons deliberately slowed down their return, and it stands to reason that they should have recovered quickly.
Thinking of this, Kevin couldn't help but look at the half-dragon man with red and golden eyes who was leading the team in front of him, and showed a meaningful smile.
The team had not been long away and stopped in front of a wooden hut with the door ajar.
"Optimistic about here. I'll go to His Majesty's side to get my life. ”
Pushing Kevin into a room, the half-dragon man who led the team gave a command, then turned and left.
As soon as he stepped into the wooden house, the door behind him slammed slammed slammed, and the room suddenly became dark. Glancing at the blood-purple mark on the ground, Kevin looked up and waved his hand at the strange sheep munching on the straw in the distance.
"Hi old friend, let's meet again. ”
Hearing this, the strange sheep slowly stretched out its eyes, reversed direction, and looked at Kevin. However, at this moment, the chewing action in the mouth of the strange sheep stopped again, and a pair of eyes skimmed over Kevin, and looked at the young eagle in his arms in a daze.
"Oh, introduce you to a new friend. Kevin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and lifted the young eagle in his arms.
"Chirp!" the young eagle called out at the right time, and the milk voice was milky.
"Poof!"
The eyes of the strange sheep suddenly retracted into their sockets, and in the next second, a terrible cry resounded in the sky.
"Baa !!"
......
"How?"
"It took a lot of work, but the results were gratifying. ”
The sonorous sound echoed through the vast cavern and endured. Two blood moons suddenly lit up in the shadows, shining on a figure on the other side of the lava pool, who lowered his head.
"Good work, you're doing a good job. ”
"This is my glory. ”
"Yesterday I sent a messenger to plead with God for a drop of blood. ”
The red-eyed half-dragon man breathed heavily.
"Do you know who this drop of blood is for?"
"Forgive your servant for being stupid. ”
"Guess what. ”
Saying this, the eyes of the giant dragon landing on the half-dragon man were already self-evident, and the latter immediately took a step back and half-knelt on the ground.
"O my king!" the half-dragon man sang, his voice trembling.
"Hey, it's just a pity. ”
The dragon's tone changed, and the half-dragon's heart also tugged. Glancing at the half-dragon man whose face was full of bruises, holding back himself without saying a word, the dragon grinned slightly, revealing Sen Ran's jagged teeth.
"As usual, before retrieving the blood of the gods, his family sent an exchange list. Well, see for yourself, I can't say. ”
The dragon raised his fingertips, and a half-dragon man appeared in the shadows on the side, holding a roll of animal skins in his hand, and came to the front of the half-dragon leader. Carefully taking the list, the team leader held it in both hands and slowly pulled it away. However, when he saw the contents of the hide, he became angry.
"O king!" he tried to suppress his anger.
"Remember, it's for you. ”
The dragon's bland words were like a basin of cold water poured on the leader's head. He let go of his grip on the ends of the hide, and silently rolled up the list and tucked it around his waist.
"Go ahead, I'm not asking for extra loot this time. ”
"Thy servant shall take the king's grace to heart. ”
After a shout of praise, the leader said no more and turned around and walked out of the mountain.
"Ha~huh!"
A childish yawn rang from beneath the dragon, and its wings spread out, revealing the young dragon at its feet.
"Oh, naughty you're awake?"
Raising his head and "snorting", the young dragon stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth twice, and soon began to laugh, and after a while, he kicked the head of the giant eagle on the side as a ball.
"It is not impossible for such an opportunity to come to you in the future. ”
As the dragon finished speaking, a sudden inhalation sound sounded in the shadows around him.
"Now, it's time to accompany my son on a safari. ”
"Yes. The sound of kneeling sounded one after another.
The dragon stood up, spread its wings, lowered its head again, and gently touched the young dragon with its front kiss. The young dragon understood, kicked the giant eagle's head into the magma pool, and then flew up, roaring around the inner wall of the cave. With each roar, a half-dragon rises from its feet and follows it. After the formation of the team, the young dragon leapt over the crater overhead and flew towards the clouds in the sky.
"Boom!"
The wind raged, sweeping through the entire half-dragon tribe, and the clansmen looked back. When they saw the dragon soar through the crater, they stopped what they were doing. Whether it was a "nobleman", a hornless half-dragon, or a lizardman, they all knelt on the ground at this moment, bowing their heads in praise.
However, there is one exception in this ethnic group. In the corner, the leader of the half-dragon man stood under the eaves, staring at the huge figure that was obscured from the clouds above the sky, his eyes full of fanatical desire. But he only showed his inner emotions for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he turned around and left the place.
The buzz on the road soon returned, and after the dragon's figure had completely disappeared, the people resumed their business. Standing in front of the wooden house, facing the inferior clansmen who came and went and saluted him with a surprised face, a dozen half-dragon "nobles" responded boredly.
At this moment, a few sharp-eyed people saw the half-dragon leader walking towards this side, and immediately greeted him.
"Whoa!"
He took off the skin roll from his waist and handed it to his men, who came before him, and then walked past them to the door of the hut. Stretching out his hand, the light fell into the room, and the scene in front of him made him stunned on the spot.
"What's going on?" he said coldly.
"I don't know. Kevin stroked the strange sheep that was slumped to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and turned his head to reply with a puzzled face, "We didn't do anything, and the sheep just ran around like crazy, and after a while it was tired." Isn't it? ”
"Tuck!" the young eagle in Kevin's arms responded in a timely manner.
Kevin didn't see it, and just as the young eagle spoke, the strange sheep that had just regained his senses and raised his head once again stuck out his tongue and fainted.
Frowning, the leader was about to speak, when a sudden roar from behind him interrupted him.
"Isn't this about us going to die?!"
The leader turned his head and looked at the crowd of men who had gathered around, and looked at their excited expressions, and snatched the animal skin that was spread out under their eyes, rolled it up and put it back at their waists.
"Remove the soft armor, put on the scale armor, and finally, bring the bait!" he ignored his men's reactions, and just gave orders with a stiff expression.
"But, sheep...... Does it work?"
"I'm talking about him!"
The leader pointed one hand at Kevin, who was watching the play, and the latter looked stunned.
"Isn't it, again?"
"Tsk!"
