Courtship Period

The huge black monster flew over the jungle, its speed was too fast for its heavy body.

Wings flap, the wind sounds like waves, wherever it passes, shadows follow.

Shrouded in black shadows, the beasts stiffened and did not dare to move, because the fear deep in their souls made them crawl on the ground and tremble.

Gradually, the speed of the huge monster became slower and slower, the movement of flapping its wings became stiff, and its body gradually fell.

To crust...

The black dragon could feel its body becoming heavy, and the majestic energy filled its body, making every muscle and every drop of blood crystallize.Before long, its body will become a huge ore.

No, it can't be here, it hasn't seen the beast yet.

It is going back to the male beast.

The black dragon flapped its wings violently, dragging its heavy body to fly with all its might.

Its hind feet brushed against the treetops, and it raised its wings a little with a sudden flap. After flapping its wings, it slowly fell back, and then flapped its wings again.

It is like a beast falling into the water, constantly rising and falling in the waves.

The body became stiffer and heavier, and the movement of flapping its wings became extremely difficult. The black dragon could no longer maintain the height flat against the treetops, and its hind feet almost touched the ground.

Still later, unable to flap its wings any longer, it fell to the ground, crushing large swaths of trees.

The black dragon stretched its neck, and its eyes passed through the canopy of the jungle and fell to the cliff standing in the distance.

That is its dragon's lair, and there are its male beasts in it.

"Roar..." The black dragon roared in a low voice, it stretched out its claws forward, and crawled.

Pieces of giant trees fell to the ground, and the frozen beasts either fainted or ran away.

The black dragon's vision began to become blurred, and his spirit gradually became slack, relying on the support of the thoughts around Huixiong Beast to prevent it from forming a shell on the spot.

I want to go back to the male beast, the male beast, the male beast...

The black dragon's thinking began to froze, and finally only the word "male beast" remained in his mind. This became an obsession, supporting it to crawl mechanically.

By the time he reached the cliff, most of Hei's body had turned into a crystal form.

Anosmia, visual decline, and mental confusion, the black dragon vaguely saw the vine ladder hanging from the cliff, and saw the "fur" under the cliff, all of which made him inexplicably feel at ease.

The obsession in his mind was achieved, and the black dragon stood up instinctively, slowly moved its wings and tail, and rolled itself into the shape of an egg.

A gust of wind blew by, and a faint bird song slowly sounded in the dead forest, followed by bird song, beast roar, flapping wings, falling into the water... countless sounds were mixed in disorder, and the forest was revived.

Ban Xia rode on a long-eared beast, holding a fishing rod in one hand, and holding a wooden basket full of red plant roots in her arms.

This jungle is rich in flora and fauna, but hunting is always uncertain. Ban Xia plans to domesticate and breed some docile and delicious beasts.

The long-eared beast is Ban Xia's first target.

These big guys with long ears are fleshy and easy to catch. The staple food is ferns that can be found everywhere, so they are easy to raise.

Ban Xia used the food on the fishing rod to guide the long-eared beasts below him, throwing a red root behind him from time to time, and when the rhizome fell to the ground, a group of long-eared beasts rushed to fight for it.

Using this method, Ban Xia caught nearly ten long-eared beasts and rushed them back to the Dragon's Nest.

These long-eared beasts are all strong and run fast. The slow-running long-eared beasts cannot grab food and fall behind early.

Out of the jungle, through a piece of fern grass, you can see where the dragon's nest is.

Leading the long-eared beasts to run out of the fern grassland, Ban Xia looked at the cliff not far away, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

Beside the cliff where the dragon's nest is located, stands a huge black boulder almost as high as the cliff.

What it is?

Meteorite from the sky?

The fishing rod in Banxia's hand was slowly drooping, and the long-eared beast under his body immediately looked up at the right time and bit it, biting off half of the plant root.

The crisp gnawing sound brought Banxia back to his senses. He looked back at the long-eared beast that had started to gnaw on the fern, and dropped a plant root again.

First introduce the long-eared beasts into the breeding cage that was built earlier, and add enough grass and water to the cage, and Ban Xia cautiously approached the huge black "meteorite".

The shape of this black boulder is like an egg. If you get close to the ground, you can see patterns like scales on the boulder.

Ban Xia raised her hand and touched the surface of the boulder, a cool touch came from the palm of her hand, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Just being close makes people feel at ease, and makes people want to get closer.

Ban Xia has only experienced this feeling from the black dragon.

Thinking of the black dragon that had disappeared for a month, Ban Xia's fingers covering the boulder trembled slightly.

Not only did the black dragon disappear, after that day, the dragon man in the dream never appeared again.

It was as if, behind his back, they made an agreement to leave him together.

No longer thinking about it, Ban Xia circled the boulder, and he found a wide avenue behind the boulder.

Trees are down, ferns are pressed into the ground, like something big has passed through.

Ban Xia looked back at the boulder behind him, could it be that the stone rolled all the way?

With doubts, Banxia walked up the avenue with all the trees.

Stepping on the wet soil with military boots, Ban Xia suddenly saw several long gullies on the ground. He walked over, squatted beside the long ditch, and reached out to touch the soil.

Wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like the scratches of some kind of beast.

Ban Xia was a little puzzled, "What kind of beast is so big?" This claw is bigger than the black dragon's, right?

Black dragon?

Ban Xia stood up abruptly, stepped back for a while and looked at the complete scratches.

The trace left by the black dragon scratching the ground in memory gradually overlapped with this huge scratch.

Ban Xia's eyes gradually opened wide.

This is what the black dragon's scratch looks like when it is magnified nearly ten times.

Could such a huge existence really exist?Was it the Black Dragon's kin who left the scratch, or...

Ban Xia's gaze crossed the wide avenue that was pressed out, and landed on the huge black stone.

Black, with scale-like texture, people can't help but get close...

Ban Xia walked towards the stone, stretched out her hand to caress the stone again, and lightly pressed her forehead against the surface of the stone.

He closed his eyes, carefully perceiving the sense of intimacy coming from the stone.

Something was moving, a very light, very light sound, as if a heart was beating.

This "rock" is alive!

Ban Xia suddenly opened her eyes and stepped back a little.

Looking at the big guy who was obviously unfamiliar but also seemed familiar, Ban Xia pursed her lips and said, "What are you?"

The dots of light light up at the touch of Banxia's palms, and they flow around Banxia's hands, carrying the power to make people feel at ease and happy.

Ban Xia withdrew her hand, and the light spot on the stone gradually disappeared.

He slowly covered his hands, and those light spots rushed to light up again.

"Is that you?" Ban Xia asked in a low voice.

There was silence all around, only those star-like spots of light trying to radiate light.

……

Pinellia has an extra boulder neighbor. This neighbor can't speak or move, but as long as Pinellia talks, it will glow.

Pinellia began to spend more time near the nest, and every night before going to bed, she would stand at the entrance of the cave for a while and say "good night" in a low voice.

When the sound fell, dots of light would light up on the boulder, shining brightly in the darkness, as if a galaxy descended.

The rainy season came unexpectedly, and it rained continuously day after day.

Ban Xia moved the long-eared beasts into a new cave under the cliff. This cave was dug by him to store fodder. Now he can only use some wood blocks to separate the forage from the long-eared beasts.

The long-haired beast still has a place to settle, and the boulder can only be exposed to rain.

Pinellia held an umbrella made of leaves, stood beside the boulder, and asked, "Will you get sick from the rain?"

Of course Jushi couldn't answer him, only dots of light, as usual, lit up after Banxia's voice fell.

Ban Xia returned to the lair and found some scaled skins and bone needle boxes collected earlier, preparing to sew a hat for the boulder.

This bit of skin can probably only cover the spire of the boulder.

outside the den.

The black boulder was exposed by the rain, and amidst the rustling rain, a crack quietly opened on one side of the boulder.

A white and slender hand stretched out from the gap. That hand grabbed the stone wall and pushed it hard, and the extremely hard stone wall shattered inch by inch.

Kaka-

bang bang——

Swish-

The sound of rocks breaking, crashing, and rain mixed together.

As the stone broke through a gap, a dragon man with long black hair fell out and fell directly to the ground.

The black-haired dragon opened his eyes, and even in the daytime, he could vaguely see the light shining on those golden vertical pupils.

The black dragon raised its claws, white, five, without scales, just like the claws of male beasts.

Looking down at his body, it has no scales, white, strong muscles, and light red spots, just like its appearance in the male beast's spiritual realm.

Below that is the long black tail, which is the favorite tail of male beasts.

Suddenly, the black dragon glimpsed something from the corner of his eye, and it turned to look behind.

Wings... Wings!

Why is it still there? !

In the male beast's spiritual domain, it has no wings, so the male beast doesn't like it to have wings.

The black dragon turned its hands away, and suddenly covered the black wings on its back, looking nervously at the entrance of the dragon's nest.

Fortunately, the male beast hasn't seen its appearance yet, so it can secretly tear off its wings.

The black dragon turned his head and pressed his hands on the wings behind him.

clatter--

The sound of a heavy landing sounded from the side, and the black dragon suddenly turned his head, and saw the male beast he hadn't seen for a long time standing upright under the cliff.

The male beast held a strange leaf in one hand and grabbed the vine in the other, watching it quietly with a pair of black eyes.

The black dragon subconsciously wanted to move over and stick to the male beast.

But it suddenly remembered that there was still a part on its body that did not please the male beast, and immediately raised its chest, turned its chest towards the male beast, and then tried to hide its wings behind its body.

Ban Xia glanced at the broken stone, then shifted his gaze to the nervous black-haired dragon man on the ground, and said slowly: "What should I call you? Dragon man? Black dragon?"

The black dragon heard the male beast's voice, and when it transformed, it absorbed the blood licked from the male beast's wound the day it first met the male beast.

The energy in those blood is enough for it to understand the male beast's words, but it still doesn't know how to answer. It understands every word in its mind, but it can only say one.

In the male beast's spiritual domain, the male beast pointed at himself and said to it.

Heilong stared at Banxia, ​​opened his mouth, with an unskilled trill in his voice: "Xia..."

"Scared?" Ban Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled, "Why did the roar change?"

No, no, not scare.

The black dragon called again, "Xia, Xia."

Ban Xia didn't pay attention to the strange cry of the black dragon, he saw the rain on the black dragon, and the black dragon's humanoid face was covered with rain.

Ban Xia stepped forward, put the umbrella on the black dragon's head, and found the nightgown that had never been worn from the space bracelet.

Wrapping the black dragon carefully in a nightgown, Ban Xia hugged the black dragon horizontally and walked towards the cliff.

The black dragon stared blankly at the male beast, forgetting to cover its wings for a while.

It hadn't been this close to the male for a long time.

"Xia..." The black dragon stuck out its tongue, and lightly licked the male beast's face.

The soft touch on the face made Banxia's footsteps pause, and after a long time, she whispered: "It's still fruity."
