Chapter 11: A Little Snake
Ember felt that she had been unlucky today.
The red dragon woke up for a long time, walked out of the cave where he was resting, and saw a white expanse - it was snowing!
Walking on the road, the cold wind blew on the red dragon's face like a knife cut, no, it was better to use a knife to cut than this cold wind.
It would be better to stay in the cave and sleep again!
I saw a small river a few meters wide not far away, the surface of the river was basically frozen, only in the middle of the river there was a small opening, and a group of fish desperately squeezed there to breathe at the opening, and the small mouths were closed one by one.
With just one claw, the red dragon flew to the shore and struggled to the death.
Gathering some branches, Ember makes a fire to warm up, and then curls the processed fish with his tail and roasts it on the fire.
Because he hadn't eaten for a long time, the red dragon who ate the fish was a little wolf-gobbled up, and then he learned a painful lesson - he was deeply pierced into his soft tongue by a sharp fish bone.
The red dragon with grinning teeth in pain tossed for a long time and finally pulled out the fish bones, licked his tongue and felt the fishy smell of blood, and Yu Yan felt that he would not eat well for the next few days.
After killing the first-ever fish to injure a dragon, the red dragon continued westward.
Suddenly, it saw a small frozen snake on the side of the road, and the red dragon walked over, only to see that the little snake was about thirty centimeters long, and it was frozen all over the body, and it was curled up in a ball, but it had not been frozen to death, but it was frozen for a while.
The red dragon thought for a moment, then picked up the little snake with his claws and put it in his mouth.
Of course, the red dragon did not do this to eat, but felt that the little snake was pitiful and hoped to use the temperature in its mouth to revive it.
It didn't take long for the little snake's frozen body to gradually ease, and the red dragon felt the little snake swimming in his mouth.
Snakes have the habit of burrowing, and if they burrow into their stomachs, it won't be fun, and when the red dragon was about to spit out the little snake, he suddenly felt another pain in his tongue.
This broken snake actually bit its own tongue!
With a "poof" sound, the little snake spat to the ground, and the enraged red dragon raised his left front foot and stepped on it heavily.
The snake was not slow to react, and swooped out from the dragon's feet and got behind the dragon.
The red dragon turned his head and raised his tail to slap the fleeing snake, which stopped halfway down.
Licking his tongue again, the red dragon's face showed a look of surprise: the wound on his tongue that was stabbed by a fish bone actually healed!
The red dragon looked at the little snake again, only to see that the latter had run a few meters and then stopped and looked back at himself.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. The dragon lowered its haughty head and spoke the standard line.
The little snake was quite spiritual, and it seemed to understand and moved this way.
The red dragon's eyes turned, stretched out his claws and scratched a wound on the palm of the other side, and then handed it to the little snake.
Seeing this, the little snake quickly swam over and bit down on the wound in the dragon's palm.
A miraculous scene happened: the bleeding wound and the bite marks of the snake's fangs disappeared in a matter of seconds!
The red dragon looked at his palm repeatedly, and then looked at the little snake with blazing eyes: "You can mess with me in the future!"
So, Ember's lonely journey finally has one more friend: Xiaolan.
A small blue snake with an all-over body, and there is nothing wrong with this name.
Xiaolan's appearance looks like a pit viper, and I don't know what kind of pit viper is a red dragon that is not good at academics, but it is unheard of that a pit viper, which is supposed to be highly poisonous, can heal wounds in turn.
Within two steps, the red dragon kicked an object, and when he looked down, it was a small wooden box, and when he picked it up and opened it, Ember's eyes couldn't help but shrink.
I saw a quaint book and an egg-sized bead in the box, and the first time I saw the bead, the red dragon's heart set off a huge possessiveness.
It's a treasure!
The red dragon took the bead out without hesitation, and the nameless lust subsided slightly, and then the red dragon looked at the book again.
There were a few big characters written on the cover of the book, but Ember couldn't read it at all, and flipped through it with his paws, and Red Dragon was a little disappointed to find that he couldn't read a word.
I put the book in my backpack with my paws, and if I can't read it, it doesn't mean that others don't understand it, so I'd better keep the book.
Then the red dragon turned his attention to the bead in the heart of the claw.
The bead was pale blue in color, and Ember felt that it was more beautiful than any gem he had ever seen, and intuitively said that this bead would be of great help to him, but he couldn't say that it would be of any use.
After playing with it for a while, the red dragon decided to swallow the bead.
At the moment when the red dragon put the bead in his mouth, a small figure rushed up!
It turned out to be Xiaolan!
I don't know where Xiaolan got the strength, and he rushed directly from the ground into the mouth of the red dragon, which was almost two meters above the ground.
"Don't make a fuss. Ember swallowed the bead, then deftly curled and spat out the little blue that longed for her throat with her tongue.
Ember didn't think much of it, just thought that Xiaolan was joking with herself, and instead focused on the bead she had just swallowed.
The pale blue bead lay quietly on the stomach wall after entering the stomach, without the slightest change, like a stone. No, even if the stone got into the dragon's stomach, it would quickly corrode and digest away, but this bead showed no sign of digestion under the continuous baptism of gastric juice.
It's really a strange bead, the red dragon is a little puzzled, his body wants this bead so much and now he has no reaction, it's really strange.
Forget it, let's go on the road, the red dragon looked at Xiao Lan, who was crawling on top of him.
Due to the huge difference in size, Ember naturally did not let Xiaolan follow him, but put it on his back.
But Xiaolan seemed very unaccustomed, crawling left and right, and then actually climbed along the dragon's neck to the dragon's head, and then coiled his body on a dragon's horn.
The two dragon horns on the top of the red dragon's head stretched backwards were about forty centimeters long, and the small snake looked very comfortable coiled on them, and the red dragon rolled its eyes, and it was up to it.
The sky is not beautiful, not long after leaving, it actually began to snow, the excitement of getting the beads in the heart of the afterburner immediately disappeared, today is really my own unlucky day, I have to write it down and beware in the future, what time is it today?
The red dragon was helpless to find that he had forgotten the date a long time ago.
The snowflakes fell on the body and were immediately melted by the body temperature of the red dragon, and it was as uncomfortable as it was to get wet.
The little blue coiled on the dragon's horns also began to feel uneasy, the temperature dropped again so that it could only keep warm by touching one part of the dragon's body, and the other half of the body was about to freeze again, and had to find a closed place.
After obtaining the dragon's consent (not the other way around), the little snake slipped into the red dragon's ear hole.
Ember grinned, the dragon's ears resembling tiny fins that grew in front of the piercings and could be covered if necessary. With the body shape of a red dragon, the ear canal is more than enough for a small snake with a thick index finger.
But it also feels weird!
If Xiaolan was the enemy, now the Red Dragon Bacheng had a brain perforation and there was no way to do it.
Forget it, Xiaolan, it's good that you're happy.
There were no caves in the vicinity to hide from the snow, and the red dragon saw a wisp of smoke not far away, so he walked that way.
Seeing that the smoke was a small farm, the red dragon walked to the door and heard someone talking inside:
"Why is this damn snow still falling!"
"That insatiable William should be here again soon, what are we going to do?"
The red dragon knocked at the door.
I heard a rush inside, and then a middle-aged man opened the door: "Dear Mr. William..."
His voice stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at the red dragon at the door.
After more than ten seconds, the man's face changed greatly, and he closed the door with a "bang".
The door opened again immediately, "I must have opened it the wrong way," the man muttered quietly.
But it was still the Red Dragon standing outside the door.
"Hello, can I come in?" said Ember, tilting her head and speaking as politely as possible.
The man nodded blankly.
The red dragon was not polite, and squeezed in through the door, but fortunately the door was big enough.
I saw that the furnishings in the house were very ordinary, except for the petrified man standing by the door, there was a woman and a little boy in the room.
After seeing the red dragon, the woman and the little boy were also petrified.
The red dragon walked over to the warm fire and sat down.
"Dragon, Dragon, Dragon, Dragon...!" the man suddenly shouted, then grabbed a spear from the door.
The red dragon didn't look at him, took a piece of black bread from the table, frowned and chewed it.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. ”
After a long time, the red dragon made a gesture and finally calmed down the family.
The man's name is Tom, and he runs this small farm with his wife and children, and his life is quite good.
Later, the peaceful days were broken by a bully in the town.
The bully's name is William, and he has a crush on Tom's farm and wants to kick Tom's family out of it. Recently, he found an excuse to get Tom to hand over three sable skins, and if he didn't, he was going to confiscate the farm. You must know that the number of sables is already scarce, not to mention that in winter places will hide in slightly warmer places, it is almost impossible to find sables here.
"This kind of person, I can turn him into a pile of ashes with a single fire. The red dragon said nonchalantly.
"It's not good to kill people. Tom said tremblingly.
"Then you want me to help you hunt sables?"
Tom was silent.
"Let's not talk about that, do you have anything here to help me out of the rain, uh, it's a raincoat or something?" said the red dragon casually.
Tom looked at the red dragon lying comfortably by the fire and said, "I want to have." ”
"What?"
"Horse cloak. ”
A horse cloak is a raincoat for horses, and the red dragon is now about the size of a large horse.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door again.
