I'm at the top of the food chain

The plants died in the increasingly severe cold of the snow season, and soon Lu Shaoyu returned to the days when he first came to this world and could only eat meat.

And besides the plants being affected by the snow season, even many of the beasts they usually eat are also affected by the snow season.

The snow season on the Dolan Continent is similar to but different from the winter on Earth. The difference is of course because the snow season on the Dolan Continent is obviously colder and more aggressive than the winter on Earth.The similarity is due to the state of animals and plants during the snow season.

It goes without saying that the plants die, and the beasts are almost the same as those on the earth. Before the snow season comes, many beasts will reserve the food they need for the whole snow season. It is not a last resort, and they will never leave easily. Own cave, because the severe cold in the snow season is fatal even for beasts.

So it's seriously affecting their standard of living.

They are eager to hurry, and even if it is necessary to stop, they will not stay for too long just to eat. Naturally, they will eat whatever they catch, while some beasts hide in their lairs, and some directly start hibernating and are still outside. There are hardly any living beasts left.

In this way, except for Lu Shaoyu and the two cubs, the remaining three dragons and one spirit beast have to worry about what to eat.

Nesario and Kelian are different, because of Lu Shaoyu's relationship, he doesn't need to fly by himself most of the time, so he doesn't consume too much energy, and although Kelian and Nesriel are not too picky , but in order to ensure sufficient physical strength, they must also have a full meal every few days.

Eating seems to have become their top priority on the way back to the imperial capital.

Although Nesario himself didn't need to eat too much food, because of the relationship between Lu Shaoyu and the two little dragon cubs, he was the most worried about it.

As soon as they landed, Neltharion would take the lead in hunting the prey, and this was the only time he would leave Lu Shaoyu aside.

Nasriel and Kelian took turns to be with Neltharion. Usually, they would not bring back all the prey, but would bring some back to Lu Shaoyu after filling their stomachs outside.

After all, no matter how delicious Lu Shaoyu's cooking is, it can only be used to satisfy hunger, and it is far from filling the stomach.

And every time Nesario went out to hunt prey, it was when Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were the happiest. Only at this time would the two of them be allowed to go out for a walk with Nesario, and because they had to look after Relationship, only one person can go at a time.

Tuantuan has been allowed to eat some tender and easily digestible raw meat, and Neltharion is also very happy to teach them how to hone their claws, so that they can put certain prey to death if the claws are not strong enough.

According to Tuanyuan's age, Neltharion's education method is obviously a bit premature, but Lu Shaoyu did not express any opinion on it. First of all, Tuanyuan was very interested in what Nelthario taught. Secondly, Lu Shaoyu felt that he should not use the method of educating humans to teach a dragon, even though these two dragons are his own sons who popped out of his stomach.

Besides, Neltharion obviously has his own considerations.

Snowflakes floated down from midair, Lu Shaoyu shrank his neck and felt that Kelian seemed to be descending, he raised his head and asked, "Are you going to stop?"

Nesario hummed, squinted his eyes and glanced outside.

They are passing through the jungle of the orcs and are about to reach the territory of Ice Flame Valley.

In other words, they will not be too long away from the imperial capital.

The trees in the orc jungle are very tall, even the snow in the snow season cannot completely cover them, but the emerald green leaves are gone, and only the bare brown trunks are left on the branches, which is particularly eye-catching in the pure white.

Corian stopped at the place where they had stayed, that is, where Lu Shaoyu and the others met Elandia.

This place is completely different from when Lu Shaoyu left. The jungle is covered with thick white snow, and under the white snow is impenetrable ice. Because all the branches and leaves have fallen clean, the jungle no longer blocks the sky, but It looked a little dark.

The things like bird's nests built on the tree trunks are still there, and the orcs will probably not come back until the dry season returns.

Lu Shaoyu felt inexplicably unbearable when he thought of the orcs he had met outside Sky City. If it wasn't for Alsos, the orcs probably wouldn't have suffered from this indiscriminate disaster.

Alsos was the most hateful sinner in this disaster that should not have come. Not only was his death not a pity, but even Lu Shaoyu felt that letting him die like this was simply too cheap for him.

Nesario was the first to get off Corian's back. Seeing that Lu Shaoyu was still looking at the distance as if in a daze, he asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Thinking about how Alsos died, he deserved it."

Lu Shaoyu blurted out.

Nesario was stunned for a moment, and then a chill flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, no one will allow him to die easily."

Lu Shaoyu wanted to say something else, but a small dumpling that seemed to have just woken up suddenly poked its head out from Nelthario's collar, Lu Shaoyu closed his mouth, and his eyes rolled up.

Tuantuan opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw them stop, he suddenly woke up happily, probably realizing that it was time to go out hunting with Neltharion again, so he patted his little wings excitedly , Most of it got out from Neltharion's chest, and when he became unstable, he rolled and fell into the snow.

Lu Shaoyu hastily leaned over, wanting to pull Tuan Tuan out of the snowdrift, dumbfounded, but saw that Tuantuan had already rushed out, hugged Lu Shaoyu's hand tightly, whimpered as if frightened, and stopped. I couldn't help but sneezed a little.

Lu Shaoyu hugged Tuantuan in his arms and rubbed it, and then he shivered as if he had recovered.

"Brother Long..."

The weather was so cold that even Tuantuan couldn't bear it. Lu Shaoyu obviously couldn't bear to take Nelthario to hunt with him later.

Neltharion seemed to know what he was going to say, and stretched out his hand to rub the ball's head.

"Will Tuantuan still go hunting with me?"

Tuantuan hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out a small paw from Lu Shaoyu's arms, and grabbed Nesario's hand.

Nesario picked up Tuantuan, looked at Lu Shaoyu and said, "Don't worry, he is much stronger than you imagined."

Lu Shaoyu rubbed Tuan Tuan's head, didn't say anything else, let Tuan Tuan lick his palm, then stretched out his hand from Nesario's arms, and hugged another little Tuan Tuan who was still sound asleep. come out.

Yuanyuan flinched in Lu Shaoyu's arms, and finally opened her eyes in bewilderment.

Yuanyuan widened her eyes and looked around for a week before finally waking up. Seeing Nelthario moaning excitedly, she remembered that it was not his turn to go out with her father today, and her eyes dimmed instantly. Humming and chirping, he rubbed against Lu Shaoyu's arms.

Lu Shaoyu smiled and let him get into his arms, squeezed one of his little paws, and waved to Nesario and Tuantuan.

"Yuanyuan said that father and brother will come back early."

Yuanyuan looked at him, and obediently waved her paws, but she still looked a little unhappy, her gaze was always on Tuan Tuan, with a reluctant look on her face.

Tuantuan tilted his head and muttered a few words, which even Nelthario didn't understand, but Yuanyuan suddenly became inexplicably excited, straightened up from Lu Shaoyu's arms, happily rushed to Tuantuan and they waved their little paws again , It seems that the mood has improved a lot.

Even Nesario didn't know what the two of them had exchanged, and Lu Shaoyu didn't even know, but he was surprised that Tuantuan was so good at coaxing his younger brother, Tuantuan adapted to it almost quickly. It seems that he is more competent than both Lu Shaoyu and Nesario in taking care of his brother's emotions.

Lu Shaoyu watched Nesario lead the group away, then turned around with Yuanyuan in his arms, and walked into the place where they temporarily found shelter from the wind and snow, following the huge footprints left by Kelian in the snow .

This is a circle of strange trees that Lu Shaoyu can't name. The height of these trees is not high compared to the height of most trees in the jungle, but the strange thing is that the range of their growth seems to be intentionally surrounding Like anything, it grows into a huge not tight circle.

Although the leaves on the branches had all fallen off from the severe cold, at least its intricately intertwined branches were still there, and still protected them from most of the falling snow.

And when Lu Shaoyu approached, he discovered that the reason why these trees grow like this is not because they have some special growth habit, but because these trees originally come from the same root, that is to say, this large area All the trees are actually the same plant. Their roots are buried deep in the ground, and then new roots are continuously branched out, and the roots emerge from the ground again, and a tree of the same distance is grown on the ground. No wonder it is so Many trees grow together without depleting each other's nutrients, because they don't need to distinguish each other at all.

Lu Shaoyu marveled and hugged Yuanyuan and slipped in through the gap between the two trees.

Klein was using his huge tail to sweep the snow out of the middle of the clearing until the thick layer of solid ice covering the ground was exposed.

Klein flicked his tail again, and got rid of the dead branches at the top of the tree. He simply laid them on the ground to insulate them from moisture, and then covered them with a thick layer of animal skin. Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Shaoyu's arms. Li, teasingly said, "Come and roll, it's very warm."

Yuanyuan blinked her eyes, and looked at Lu Shaoyu questioningly.

Compared with Tuantuan, Yuanyuan seems to be a little closer. This is the experience that Kelian summed up after trying to court Tuantuan for many times but failed. Yuanyuan also listens to his brother very much. No matter how much curiosity he has about anything, as long as he If my brother doesn't touch it, he will never touch it.

But in fact, Yuanyuan has a lot more curiosity than Tuantuan, so Klein will always make something that will arouse Yuanyuan's interest privately when Tuantuan is not around, so as to get close to him.

He really wanted to hug those two tiny and cute little dragons, but Naihe Tuantuan not only didn't like others approaching, but was also very vigilant.

After much deliberation, he finally decided that it would be better to start with Yuanyuan.

Lu Shaoyu saw that Yuanyuan was actually very interested in Kelian's suggestion, and his eyes began to sparkle, but before he nodded, no matter how interested he was, he would not take a step forward. Lu Shaoyu felt that this kind of vigilance It is very necessary, but at this time, it is natural for him to relax and play.

As soon as he nodded, Yuanyuan rushed up to the soft "trampoline" covered with dead branches and animal skins like an arrow off the string, pounced excitedly, landed on it and rolled.

He jumped up happily again, and waved his little paw at Lu Shaoyu, as if to say, "Dad, come quickly."

Lu Shaoyu shook his head, "You can play by yourself, I'll be right here watching you."

Kelian flicked his tail courteously, "I'm here to watch you too." As he spoke, he quietly approached Yuanyuan.

However, Yuanyuan suddenly looked back at him as if she had sensed it, and after seeing him stretch out his paws as if wanting to hug him, he jumped back into Lu Shaoyu's arms with a few steps, and looked at him with pale yellow eyes. Watching him warily.

Clariant: ...

"Aren't you playing anymore? Yuanyuan?"

Yuanyuan snorted, and buried her head in Lu Shaoyu's arms, only showing a round buttocks with a small tail.

Clariant: ...

"Just give me a hug..."

Drilled harder.

Clariant: ...

He suddenly couldn't explain the heartache, really.
