Courtship Period

The raft went down the river, and with the help of the river, Banxia only needed to fiddle with the long pole occasionally to control the direction, and he could easily shuttle between the jungles.

Ban Xia sits cross-legged on the raft, releases an electronic eye, lets it fly over the raft, and draws a route map as the raft travels.

The sky was darkening, and a wall of black clouds rose below the horizon, enveloping the setting star.

I'm afraid it will rain tonight. Looking at the dark sky, Ban Xia regrets not installing a canopy on the raft, or making a homemade umbrella.

Now there is only a long pole by my side, if it is going to rain, it will be drenched.

After two days, Banxia felt that her body had recovered a lot compared to when she came out of the escape pod, but she couldn't withstand the torrential rain overnight.

Ban Xia stood up, glanced across the jungle on both sides of the bank, and was about to find a place to go ashore first.

The current section of the river is much wider than the one when he set out. The two sides of the river are separated by a hundred meters, which is as spacious as a lake.

Ban Xia was thinking about where to go ashore, when she heard a deafening roar from a distance, like thunder rolling over her head.

"Roar--"

Hearing the familiar roar, Banxia's hand holding the pole trembled.

He looked back, and saw a small black spot moving in the distant sky. The black spot was getting bigger and bigger, getting closer to him, and gradually showing the outline of a black dragon.

The black dragon swooped down from the sky, and in the end it was almost flat against the river, gliding along the river towards Banxia.

During this process, the airflow brought by the black dragon exploded the river water under its body, dragging out a long white water wave.

Ban Xia's eyelids twitched, hesitating whether to jump into the river.

If he didn't jump, with the current flying height and speed of the black dragon, he would be overturned by the air waves together with the raft.

Banxia walked to the side of the raft and was about to jump into the water when he saw the black dragon fly over the raft at a high altitude.

bang——

A silver-white object fell from the black dragon and just hit the raft. The raft was shaken. Ban Xia quickly squatted down to lower the center of gravity, and then stabilized his body.

"Roar--"

At a height of one thousand meters, the black dragon flew in a circle, and its thunderous roar made Banxia dizzy.

Worry, anxiety, anger, grievance, surprise, fear...

Ban Xia didn't know how he could hear so many emotions from the roars, he sat down on the gradually calming raft, raised the long pole in his hand, and poked the round object dropped by the black dragon.

It seemed to be a fish, its body was covered with silver scales, its shape was as thin and round as a cake.

The round pie fish had been dead for an unknown amount of time, motionless, and the scales on its body were dry.

The black dragon above his head was still roaring, and Ban Xia's heart was very stuffy.

Banxia looked up and looked around, the raft was hit by the fish, and it was already deflected, and the front end was facing the river bank on one side.

Banxia stood up, plunged the long pole into the water, swung it back vigorously, turned the raft back, and continued to go down the river.

The raft moved along the river, and the black dragon followed in a circle. The roar gradually weakened, and finally became a low growl that was suppressed in the throat like a whimper.

Ban Xia supported the raft in silence the whole time. He didn't know how to face the black dragon. He couldn't understand the language. He couldn't explain to the other party that he was just looking for a human settlement and would come back.

The sky has completely darkened, and the roar of the black dragon has also disappeared, as if it had already left.

But as long as Ban Xia looks at the river, he can see a pair of huge bright orange vertical pupils among the stars in the sky reflected by the lake.

Such a terrifying scene, if others saw it, they would be so frightened that their heart would stop beating.

Even if it was Ban Xia herself two days ago, it was impossible to change her face.

But now, he really doesn't have any emotions of fear. Instead, he seems to feel that there is an elder who can protect him and escort him.

If he hadn't said goodbye to this "elder" before this, the atmosphere between them might have been more warm and harmonious.

A drop of cold liquid fell on Banxia's forehead, Banxia wiped it with her hand in a daze, and another drop of water fell down one after another, spreading ripples appeared one by one on the originally calm river surface.

It's raining……

Ban Xia looked overhead, and saw that the black dragon seemed to be flying a little lower.

The sound of the rain is getting louder, but the amount of rain falling on Ban Xia's body is getting less and less.

click -

A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, and the surrounding area instantly lit up. Ban Xia could clearly see the figure of the black dragon in the sky above. The huge scale-covered figure looked particularly ferocious and terrifying against the background of the lightning.

But it was such a ferocious and terrifying monster that used its body as an umbrella to shield him from the rain.

The lightning disappeared, the light dimmed, and the world returned to darkness.

"Boom--"

It took a few seconds for the thunder to sound, and Ban Xia's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he woke up.

This is a thunderstorm!

It was already very dangerous for him to be on the water on a raft, and the black dragon was still flying in the sky, and it was the tallest around, so who would he attack if he didn't attack it?

Pinellia hurriedly propped up the long pole, turned the raft, and slid towards the nearby river bank.

The bank of the river is about 20 meters long. Under the resistance of the water, it is not easy to paddle across.

The sky lit up with white light again, seeing everything around it brightened by the light of lightning, Ban Xia's heart almost jumped out.

He raised his head and shouted to the black dragon that was still flying above his head in the air: "Get down quickly! Get ashore!"

The black dragon in the sky lowered its head, and a pair of bright golds looked at Banxia.

Banxia wasn't sure if the other party could hear his voice, but he knew that the black dragon's night vision ability was very good, so Banxia gritted his teeth and risked being hacked, raised his hand holding the pole, and waved at the black dragon .

The black dragon swooped down, but not towards the river bank, but towards Pinellia.

The pair of huge golden vertical pupils were getting closer and closer to him, Banxia seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating heavily, and then Banxia felt something was wrapped around his waist, and the next moment, he was pulled towards the black dragon.

The long pole broke away from Banxia's hand and hit the raft with a crisp sound.

The black dragon stretched out its claws towards Banxia, ​​and Banxia was dragged into the black dragon's claws.

The wide wings shook violently, and the black dragon carefully guarded Pinellia and landed on the river bank.

boom--

The black dragon lowered its body, and its claws touched the ground. The wings on its back were not folded, but raised to cover its claws.

Feeling the tentacles of the black dragon wrapped around her waist slowly loosen, Ban Xia adjusted her breathing to calm her heartbeat, and the head of the black dragon came closer.

Under the night, those golden vertical pupils were so bright that people couldn't move their eyes away.

Ban Xia raised her hand to caress the black dragon's cheek, the black dragon's scales were all wet, and rainwater slipped from the scales.

Banxia's heart was full of mixed emotions, he hadn't had time to sort them out, now looking at the black dragon, he didn't know what to say.

After all, he only stroked the black dragon's cheek with his hand, and heard a low roar from the black dragon's throat.

The thunder sounded again, Ban Xia looked back at the river.

The small raft went down the current, and the silver round cake fish brought to him by the black dragon gradually went away.

Ban Xia pursed his lower lip slightly, he looked away, looked at the black dragon whose eyes were slightly squinted because of his touch, and said: "Let's go, we have to find a place that can shelter from the rain for the night."

"Roar--"

The black dragon keeps up with Pinellia, always stretching one side of its wings to shield Pinellia from the rain.

Its male beast has a strange disease of always shedding its skin. If it is rained and then sheds its skin, it will be bad.

The black dragon carefully guarded the male beast and walked through the forest. Amid the sound of rain, it vaguely heard the male beast whisper something.

The black dragon turned its head and looked suspiciously at the male beast whose "fur" was slightly wet under its wings.

It saw the male beast raised the corner of its mouth slightly, and spit out a somewhat familiar syllable to it.

"Thank you."

The author has something to say:

Pinellia: Thank you, Mama Long, Mama Long is so kind~
