Hello!this is my dragon
Chapter 33 East of Sicily Escort
Xitu kept leaning forward, grabbing his animal skin skirt with both hands, and looked at Ao Bai anxiously without blinking.
In the process of swimming alone from the coast of Sicily to this island, the difficulties and obstacles encountered along the way have made the little tiger cub refrain from his previous enthusiasm and impulse: he clearly felt that his good luck had been used up, and he swam alone rashly. It is too dangerous to go back.
Ji Mo held his partner's hand instead, expressing his support wordlessly.
Ao Bai frowned and thought for a long time, and finally he didn't look at Xitu, but at his partner and said slowly, "Xitu, we need the medicinal herbs from your tribe, and we can exchange them with many pearls." What Aobai is most worried about right now is what he needs the most.
After he and Ji Mo came to Sicily, they had faced the dilemma of no herbs and no priests many times: when they encountered a cold snap on the way, fortunately it was close to the West Sea at that time, and when they went to the Dragon Clan of the West Sea to ask for help, Ao Mu asked his family’s white priest to heal them. Well, Ji Mo, as for Ao Bai not agreeing to stay in the West Sea to help Ao Mu and being chased away by the other party is nothing; also, when they were besieged by many fierce beasts, both of them were injured. Both of them were fine in the end; and this time, the little orc Xitu fell ill on their island. In fact, until now they still don't know whether it was the pearl that played a role, or the little tiger cub was naturally strong and recovered on its own.
"Xi Tu, this is just a request, I hope to get your help, if you can't do it, you can refuse, don't force it." Ao Bai didn't want to say this at first, but right now he can't think of any other way.
——The cold season is coming soon, and the closest to the Sicilian Sea is the West Sea, but it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and maybe you will encounter the extreme weather of the cold season while you are on the way, and the mermaid will definitely not be able to bear it; at the same time, according to According to Ao Bai's experience, every time the cold season comes, the females and cubs in the clan always get sick, and the priests are often very busy during the cold season.
Ji Mo also comforted the little tiger cub: "Xi Tu, don't be nervous, we don't need it urgently, we just want to stockpile some emergency medicine, give it a try, and see if the herbs from the land orc tribe can be used on us."
After a pause, he explained further: "Are the priests in your place high-ranked? Do ordinary orcs and females in the tribe know medicinal herbs? If they can't get in touch, then forget it. Ao Bai and I will find another way. Don't Reluctantly, you know?"
Ao Bai also nodded, "Since your tribe rejects the sea orcs so much, then you have to be careful, even for your own safety, you must not disclose what happened in the past two days to others."
——Compared with the tribe, the opinions of individual orcs are really nothing.Public anger is hard to commit. If you want to live a happy life, you must avoid disagreements with most people around you.
Xitu was in it, so he must have a deeper understanding. He patiently explained: "Listen to me first. There are several priests in our tribe, some are good at helping females give birth to cubs, and some are good at helping male orcs stop bleeding and set bones. Some will only heal sick cubs and females. As for medicinal herbs, people in our tribe can touch them, but we are afraid of making mistakes, so most of the time we still ask the priests for them.”
Ji Mo felt a little surprised, and praised: "So it has developed to the point where there are specializations in the art industry, and each performs his own duties? This is very good, and everyone's life safety is guaranteed."
Ao Bai immediately said: "Ji Mo, one day, our Sicily will also be able to attract priests!"
"Uh, of course, the conditions here are so good, if there is a priest who is willing to come, he will definitely get the best care and the greatest respect, he is a very important person!" Seeing Ao Bai's serious look, Ji Mo immediately Aware of the other party's thoughts, he said dumbfoundingly: You silly dragon, I'm just evaluating the land orc tribe objectively. The best thing to say is of course our family.
So what, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own small nest.
Xitu gradually became more relaxed, because Ao Bai's request was something he could do.
"Then what kind of medicinal herbs do you want? Don't worry, I am not yet an adult. The cubs only need to learn to hunt with the warrior for half a day every day, and then they can play freely. Our favorite thing is to pick fruits for our parents , catch small prey, or gather herbs to the priest to exchange for jerky!"
Ji Mo asked amusedly: "Swap herbs for jerky? Your priests really have a way." It sounds interesting, those priests actually used rewards of jerky to encourage half-grown children in the tribe to help him find herbs... …
"Hehe~ Yes, when they are busy, they don't have time to go out to find herbs, so the priests made a lot of jerky, as long as the herbs we sent over are right, they will give a small piece of jerky!" Xitu excited say.
From the sparkling eyes of the little tiger cub, it can be seen that the activity of "exchanging herbs for jerky" should be something that the little orcs in Sicily's eastern continent usually like to do very much.
Ji Mo asked anxiously: "Then when you are looking for herbs, will other orcs pay attention? Will they be very concerned? Will someone ask whether the herbs were given to the priest in the end?" It is better to find out more clearly, so as not to embarrass Xi picture.
The little tiger cub scratched his head and answered naively: "No one pays attention to us. Adult orcs and females have their own things to do and are busy every day. They think we are too noisy... But the tribe does not allow cubs to go deep into the jungle , we can only play in the nearby jungle."
——It's understandable, a group of adolescents are full of energy, and when they get together, they can simply make troubles.Ji Mo was secretly laughing.
"Then, how many herbs can you recognize? I mean you can confirm it without the priest nodding." Ji Mo explained patiently.
Xitu thought for a while and replied: "Actually, you should show it to the priest, because many herbs look alike, and it would be bad if you make a mistake."
Seeing the disapproving frowns of the two people on the opposite side, the little tiger cub hurriedly explained: "It's okay, your thinking is too complicated. Our tribe is very big and has many cubs. Adult orcs will pay more attention to females and female cubs. Small orcs generally just don’t make trouble.” After a pause, Xitu forced a smile and said, “I’m most familiar with the medicinal herbs for females, and I also know several kinds of herbs for adult orcs. Well, because, the main reason is that my parents have been ill for a long time, and I often have to ask the priests to come over. I usually have to take care of my parents and remind him to take medicines, so I slowly get to know those herbs, and I can often find those kinds of herbs. Sent it to the priest, and only once the priest said I was wrong, and everything else was right; back when my beast father was at home... well, that's it."
Ao Bai and Ji Mo looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Okay, Xitu, as long as you are safe, we are not in a hurry, you can take your time and find a way to collect herbs."
"I have a lot at home. My parents are not in good health. I have always had the habit of saving medicinal herbs. I always find them openly and aboveboard and dry them in the sun. My clan has long been used to them." The little tiger cub said seriously say.
——Phew~ That's good, it won't attract the attention of others abnormally.
Ji Mo once again solemnly exhorted:
"Thank you, Shitu. We want your help, and we hope you are safe."
Ao Bai already has a clear goal: "Let's change some herbs for females and cubs, but do you know how to use these herbs?" If it is too complicated, it will be useless even if you exchange it.
Ji Mo put forward a different opinion: "No, Xitu, we want some herbs for adult orcs, such as bleeding, broken bones and other wounds." Ao Tiantian is busy driving and hunting Sicily The ferocious beast in the sea, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him one day, I hate why I am a mermaid who can't hunt and kill ferocious beasts...
Ao Bai held his partner's hand even harder, but he didn't change his mind: "No, just what the females and cubs need."
Xitu said shyly, "I know how to use it. But I don't know any of the cub's because I'm the only child..."
"Forget it, remove this, we don't have any cubs yet, Ao Bai." Ji Mo said immediately, he couldn't make things difficult for the little tiger cub.
After thinking for a while, Ao Bai agreed: "Okay, don't use this for now. When the cold season is over, let's go to the West Sea and see if we can invite a priest."
When Xitu felt a little guilty and wanted to say something more, Ji Mo quickly stopped him: "Hey boy, you remember, we don't want the herbs used by the cubs! We will be angry if you go looking for them, you know ?"
"Okay, okay." The little tiger's ears drooped slightly, and he had other plans in his mind.
Ji Mo stared at him, and suddenly said: "Hey, now you have promised me, if you can't do it, then what do you say?"
Xitu cleared his throat, his eyes flickered, and it took a while before he said reluctantly: "Okay, this time I really promise you, if I can't do it, I will be killed by the fierce beast in the holy lake." Shred and eat!"
——Pfft~ It's the beast of the holy lake again...
Through the fish has heard about this holy lake several times from this little orc man, he suppressed a smile and said: "You just need to remember, you don't need to swear, the beasts in the holy lake will not hurt the honest and brave little orc man .”
Cough, cough, why do these words sound so much like the adults on the earth telling children not to run around, to stay at home obediently and play with fabricated lies...
Xitu immediately retorted seriously: "Yes! The beast in the holy lake is extremely powerful, even the strongest warriors in the tribe can't defeat it. The holy lake is a forbidden place for the orc tribe in Sicily, and the orcs who entered it never came back alive. of!"
The corners of Ao Bai's mouth curled up slightly, allowing his mermaid to tease the little tiger cub.
Ji Mo nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Oh, really? Are the eyes of the beast in the holy lake... so big?" While talking, he made an exaggerated circle with his hands.
The little tiger cub nodded and said in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Then, are his teeth so long?" Shuo Yu raised his hands flat and indicated the length with his eyes.
The little tiger cub corrected: "No, his teeth are longer than this."
"In the end, can He swallow several orcs in one go without chewing them?" Ji Mo laughed so hard that he couldn't help but tense his expression.
The little tiger cub looked at Ji Mo suspiciously and said, "You are right, Ji Mo, tell me that you have already been to our tribe, right?" Woolen cloth?
In fact, I just randomly took out a legendary monster image from my memory...
"Hahahahaha~" Ji Mo couldn't hold it any longer, he pounded the ground and laughed wildly, he pointed at Xitu and shook Ao Bai's arm a few times, and said happily: "Did you see Ao Bai? From now on, the child will be disobedient Running around, you can also scare him like this, and let them be quiet for a while!" After speaking, he continued to laugh loudly, feeling overjoyed.
——Hey, it turns out that all parents in the world are the same, they will make up some lies to scare their children when they are still young and disobedient and mischievous.The most common one is: go out and run around at night and there are monsters outside!
Ao Bai thought for a moment and then shook his head, "No, don't scare them, just let them go out to play." Little dragons and mermaids like to go out to play, so there is no need to lock them up.
Aiming at the future education issues, Ji Mo disagreed and said: "Sigh~ children can't always be used to it, they have to be strict when they should be strict." You can't spoil your children unconditionally, what should you do if they grow crooked?
Naturally, Xitu couldn't feel the monsters and ghosts in the numerous fairy tales in Ji Mo's brain, he still insisted: "Ji Mo, don't laugh, there are really powerful, violent and bloodthirsty monsters in the holy lake of Sicily. Fierce beast, you must not go near the holy lake!"
Ji Mo comforted him: "Well, I won't go, I don't even know where your holy lake is, so don't worry."
"Tomorrow morning, we will take you back." Ao Bai said a crucial sentence.
※※※
"Sig, I beg you, please go find Xitu, he hasn't come home until now, he's still a cub..." Outside the patriarch's stone house in the Eastern Continent of Sicily, Xitu, a tiger cub Qingzhe's parents cried and begged the patriarch Higg.
——After he woke up from his lethargy that day, he waited anxiously until dark, but he didn't see the figure of his sensible little tiger cub, Xitu. I also searched for help, but to no avail.
The tiger female, who has always been strong and forbearing, immediately panicked: the cub Xitu is almost everything to him.
In a hurry, Qing Zhe immediately went to the patriarch and asked him to take a few male orcs to the dense forest outside to look for him. He was worried that his cub was lost.
However, Sig's current partner, Kari, strongly blocked it. The reason is: it is dark, and it is dangerous to go into the jungle at this time. The warriors of the tribe cannot be in danger because of your cub alone.As for the patriarch, Xig, Xitu's father, his expression was a little shaken at first, but later he made up his mind when he saw the big belly that his partner Kari was caressing intentionally or unintentionally: "Qing Zhe, don't worry, Go back and wait, Xitu is too disobedient, maybe he is just playing around, maybe he will go back after a while."
Sorry, Kari already has my baby.And Xitu?He didn't pay attention to me as the father of the beast at all, he disobeyed me openly and secretly, and even refused to call me the father of the beast, alas...
Qingzhe endured his anger and continued to seek help: "The patriarch, Kari, I hope he is a cub of the Tiger tribe, and he will be an outstanding warrior in the future; moreover, he is not playful at all, he is very sensible, since I Since he was in poor health, Xitu has always been home early to take care of me. He hasn’t come back today, something must have happened—please don’t worry about other things, just because he is a cub, Arrange to go to the dense forest to find it!"
As soon as he heard the phrase "don't worry about others", Cary suddenly became angry, and he sneered: "Hehe~Qingzhe, what do you mean by other? What do you mean? I know, because Sig finally chose Me, so you have always hated me, and there is nothing you can do about it. Who made you infertile? Tell me, did you let Xitu hide this time on purpose? Just to ask Xigg to go back, right? I Let me tell you, it's impossible!" After speaking, he slammed into it.
Seager took one last look at his teary-eyed ex-partner, and also thought he was lying with Hito just to get himself back, so he ended up chasing Kari into the house without saying anything.
— Beast God, Beast God~
Qingzhe cried and laughed sadly, and stumbled away to continue looking for help from other orcs.
"Why did Xigg become like this? Xitu is his cub? Why did he choose Kari? Woooooo..." Wei Ze and Xingda helped their good friend Qingzhe to leave, and they were worried about what happened to their good friend. And weep.
Wei Ze comforted his friend: "Qing Zhe, don't worry, Rui will definitely help find him." Rui is Wei Ze's partner, a leopard orc.
Xingda also hurriedly said: "Joe will be back soon, Qingzhe, let's go to Shimen and wait for them right away, we will definitely get Xitu back!"
It's a pity that after returning from hunting, several male orcs enthusiastically returned to the dense forest to search for a whole night, but they didn't find the little tiger cub Xitu, and they couldn't bear to bring back bad news to Qingzhe: "...we The footprints and smells traced to Shitu disappeared on the seaside of Sicily..."
Qingzhe immediately slumped on the ground, his eyes turned black for a while, and then his sickly body could no longer hold on and fainted.
——Xitu, my child, don't be afraid, if something happens, your mother and father will go to accompany you soon.
※※※
The next day, the weather over the Sicilian Sea was fine, with blue sky, white clouds and blue waves.
A tiger cub, a white dragon, and a mermaid quickly approached the Sicilian mainland.
"Xitu, do you remember what I taught you?" Ji Mo asked anxiously, not knowing how many times.
"I remember it all, really!" The little tiger cub sat in the giant clam berry, swimming quickly led by the white dragon's paw, looking at the mermaid swimming next to him, he replied seriously.
Ji Mo was as patient as a teacher revisiting knowledge points: "Then you repeat, what should you say and do when you go back?"
Xitu’s good students answer the questions in a straightforward manner:
"First of all, you must hide all the pearls in a secret place, and you cannot let anyone know about them, and you cannot take them home immediately."
Temporary teacher Ji Mo nodded, "Yes, that's right. Then?"
"Then I have to carefully cover up the smell on my body, so that everyone in the tribe believes that I just came to the beach for fun, and then I got lost accidentally and hid in the dense forest for several days before I found my way home."
"Very good, what's next?"
"When no one is paying attention to the safety, I will quietly go out and take a few pearls home, grind them into powder and mix them in broth for my mother and father to drink until he recovers."
"What about at the same time?" Ji Mo was persuasive.
Xitu immediately continued: "At the same time, we must insist on getting the herbs back from the priest, so that others will think that the priest cured the mother and father."
Ao Bai put forward his own suggestion: "When you don't know how to answer, you cry. It's better to cry while shaking." They shouldn't embarrass a poor cub too much.
Xitu immediately touched his knee in embarrassment, but agreed in a low voice.
Ji Mo strongly praised: "Ao Bai is right, this is a universal solution! Xitu, you only need to finish the words I taught you, and then you will cry no matter what others ask you, and say that you are too scared. Remember, act fearful, sad and hopeless, so other people will shut up."
"But, but I'm a male, so I can't cry all the time~" the half-big tiger clan with strong self-esteem expressed embarrassment.
"Hey, no matter male or female, you are just a cub anyway, what are you afraid of! There is nothing shameful about it. If you want to live a peaceful life with your parents in the future, you must do this, you know?" Ji Mo hurriedly Instill these thoughts in him, a man can bend and stretch.
"Okay then." Xitu nodded with a frustrated face, feeling that he would definitely not be the strongest and bravest little orc in the tribe in the future.
※※※
Ao Bai and Ji Mo's speed was very fast, and this was still under the condition that they were escorting Xitu as smoothly as possible, and it only took them half a day to reach the distance that the little tiger cub had worked so hard to swim for a day and a night.
The mainland of Sicily was right in front of them. Ao Bai and Ji Mo stopped at a distance from the coast. For safety reasons, they did not want to land.
Xitu saw that the dense forest was ahead, and this was the time to really part.
Tears slowly welled up in the little tiger cub's eyes. He hugged his animal skin bag and refused to leave the giant clam for a long time.
Ji Mo patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. Xitu, listen, it's still early, you have to hurry up and find a good place to hide the pearls, and then get some more The juice of the grass you mentioned is rubbed on the body, it’s better to roll on the ground a few more times; in the end, we must return to the tribe before dark, it’s not safe to stay in the dense forest too late, you know?”
Xitu choked up and nodded, "I see. You don't have to worry about me. There are no big beasts around here. I often come to play."
Ao Bai looked at him encouragingly, "Go."
The little tiger cub slid into the sea, and made one final confirmation: "The sun above the head will rise and set twenty times before the cold season arrives before coming to the beach to wait for you, right?"
Ji Mo nodded, "Yes! Don't come here every day. From today onwards, every time it gets dark, you will pick up a small stone and go home, and you can only come if you have saved up to twenty. During this time, you can quietly Collect herbs from the ground, you know?"
Xitu secretly shed a tear and slipped into the sea.
"I know, I will definitely save up to twenty stones before coming here."
Ji Mo pointed to the land not far away: "Go, we will watch you land safely before leaving."
Xitu started to swim slowly, crying while swimming, and never looked back.
When he finally stepped on solid land, he quickly turned his head: Ao Bai and Ji Mo were still watching him from the same place.
After waving his hand farewell, Ji Mo made a cheering gesture to the little tiger cub before he dared to turn around and leave.
※※※
After Xitu wiped away his tears, he earnestly followed Ao Bai and Ji Mo's instructions and got things done one by one.
At dusk at the end, the little tiger cub that appeared at the gate of the Sicilian Eastern Continent tribe was miserable and dizzy: the animal skin skirt was so dirty that its original color could not be distinguished, its hair was messy and tangled, its body was covered in dust, and its expression was in a daze.
——In fact, Xitu was afraid. After all, he was just a cub, and he was worried that he would not be able to convince his tribe and his mother and father.
As a result, with the help of patrolling adult males and under the watchful eyes of many ethnic groups in the tribe, Xitu was sent back to his home. During this period, he kept in mind the instructions of Ao Bai and Ji Mo: tremble, be afraid, and play dumb.
On the way, he was extremely anxious and tried desperately to cry, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't cry.
However, after seeing his mother and father Qingzhe's embrace with open arms, Xitu's nose was sore, and he couldn't help crying and rushed forward, hugging and crying into a ball.
When the onlookers sighed, sighed, rejoiced, and rejoiced that the little orc had returned safely, Rui, the leopard warrior who was the first to discover Xitu, had secretly smeared the blood from his injury during hunting today on the little tiger cub. He subconsciously Helped the little tiger cub to cover it up.
——Why does Xitu seem to have the smell of a dragon...
In the process of swimming alone from the coast of Sicily to this island, the difficulties and obstacles encountered along the way have made the little tiger cub refrain from his previous enthusiasm and impulse: he clearly felt that his good luck had been used up, and he swam alone rashly. It is too dangerous to go back.
Ji Mo held his partner's hand instead, expressing his support wordlessly.
Ao Bai frowned and thought for a long time, and finally he didn't look at Xitu, but at his partner and said slowly, "Xitu, we need the medicinal herbs from your tribe, and we can exchange them with many pearls." What Aobai is most worried about right now is what he needs the most.
After he and Ji Mo came to Sicily, they had faced the dilemma of no herbs and no priests many times: when they encountered a cold snap on the way, fortunately it was close to the West Sea at that time, and when they went to the Dragon Clan of the West Sea to ask for help, Ao Mu asked his family’s white priest to heal them. Well, Ji Mo, as for Ao Bai not agreeing to stay in the West Sea to help Ao Mu and being chased away by the other party is nothing; also, when they were besieged by many fierce beasts, both of them were injured. Both of them were fine in the end; and this time, the little orc Xitu fell ill on their island. In fact, until now they still don't know whether it was the pearl that played a role, or the little tiger cub was naturally strong and recovered on its own.
"Xi Tu, this is just a request, I hope to get your help, if you can't do it, you can refuse, don't force it." Ao Bai didn't want to say this at first, but right now he can't think of any other way.
——The cold season is coming soon, and the closest to the Sicilian Sea is the West Sea, but it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and maybe you will encounter the extreme weather of the cold season while you are on the way, and the mermaid will definitely not be able to bear it; at the same time, according to According to Ao Bai's experience, every time the cold season comes, the females and cubs in the clan always get sick, and the priests are often very busy during the cold season.
Ji Mo also comforted the little tiger cub: "Xi Tu, don't be nervous, we don't need it urgently, we just want to stockpile some emergency medicine, give it a try, and see if the herbs from the land orc tribe can be used on us."

Xitu was in it, so he must have a deeper understanding. He patiently explained: "Listen to me first. There are several priests in our tribe, some are good at helping females give birth to cubs, and some are good at helping male orcs stop bleeding and set bones. Some will only heal sick cubs and females. As for medicinal herbs, people in our tribe can touch them, but we are afraid of making mistakes, so most of the time we still ask the priests for them.”
Ji Mo felt a little surprised, and praised: "So it has developed to the point where there are specializations in the art industry, and each performs his own duties? This is very good, and everyone's life safety is guaranteed."
Ao Bai immediately said: "Ji Mo, one day, our Sicily will also be able to attract priests!"
"Uh, of course, the conditions here are so good, if there is a priest who is willing to come, he will definitely get the best care and the greatest respect, he is a very important person!" Seeing Ao Bai's serious look, Ji Mo immediately Aware of the other party's thoughts, he said dumbfoundingly: You silly dragon, I'm just evaluating the land orc tribe objectively.

Ji Mo put forward a different opinion: "No, Xitu, we want some herbs for adult orcs, such as bleeding, broken bones and other wounds." Ao Tiantian is busy driving and hunting Sicily The ferocious beast in the sea, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him one day, I hate why I am a mermaid who can't hunt and kill ferocious beasts...

When Xitu felt a little guilty and wanted to say something more, Ji Mo quickly stopped him: "Hey boy, you remember, we don't want the herbs used by the cubs! We will be angry if you go looking for them, you know ?"
"Okay, okay." The little tiger's ears drooped slightly, and he had other plans in his mind.

Xitu cleared his throat, his eyes flickered, and it took a while before he said reluctantly: "Okay, this time I really promise you, if I can't do it, I will be killed by the fierce beast in the holy lake." Shred and eat!"
——Pfft~ It's the beast of the holy lake again...
Through the fish has heard about this holy lake several times from this little orc man, he suppressed a smile and said: "You just need to remember, you don't need to swear, the beasts in the holy lake will not hurt the honest and brave little orc man .”
Cough, cough, why do these words sound so much like the adults on the earth telling children not to run around, to stay at home obediently and play with fabricated lies...
Xitu immediately retorted seriously: "Yes! The beast in the holy lake is extremely powerful, even the strongest warriors in the tribe can't defeat it. The holy lake is a forbidden place for the orc tribe in Sicily, and the orcs who entered it never came back alive. of!"
The corners of Ao Bai's mouth curled up slightly, allowing his mermaid to tease the little tiger cub.
Ji Mo nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Oh, really? Are the eyes of the beast in the holy lake... so big?" While talking, he made an exaggerated circle with his hands.
The little tiger cub nodded and said in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Then, are his teeth so long?" Shuo Yu raised his hands flat and indicated the length with his eyes.
The little tiger cub corrected: "No, his teeth are longer than this."
"In the end, can He swallow several orcs in one go without chewing them?" Ji Mo laughed so hard that he couldn't help but tense his expression.
The little tiger cub looked at Ji Mo suspiciously and said, "You are right, Ji Mo, tell me that you have already been to our tribe, right?" Woolen cloth?
In fact, I just randomly took out a legendary monster image from my memory...
"Hahahahaha~" Ji Mo couldn't hold it any longer, he pounded the ground and laughed wildly, he pointed at Xitu and shook Ao Bai's arm a few times, and said happily: "Did you see Ao Bai? From now on, the child will be disobedient Running around, you can also scare him like this, and let them be quiet for a while!" After speaking, he continued to laugh loudly, feeling overjoyed.
——Hey, it turns out that all parents in the world are the same, they will make up some lies to scare their children when they are still young and disobedient and mischievous.The most common one is: go out and run around at night and there are monsters outside!
Ao Bai thought for a moment and then shook his head, "No, don't scare them, just let them go out to play." Little dragons and mermaids like to go out to play, so there is no need to lock them up.
Aiming at the future education issues, Ji Mo disagreed and said: "Sigh~ children can't always be used to it, they have to be strict when they should be strict." You can't spoil your children unconditionally, what should you do if they grow crooked?
Naturally, Xitu couldn't feel the monsters and ghosts in the numerous fairy tales in Ji Mo's brain, he still insisted: "Ji Mo, don't laugh, there are really powerful, violent and bloodthirsty monsters in the holy lake of Sicily. Fierce beast, you must not go near the holy lake!"
Ji Mo comforted him: "Well, I won't go, I don't even know where your holy lake is, so don't worry."
"Tomorrow morning, we will take you back." Ao Bai said a crucial sentence.

"Sig, I beg you, please go find Xitu, he hasn't come home until now, he's still a cub..." Outside the patriarch's stone house in the Eastern Continent of Sicily, Xitu, a tiger cub Qingzhe's parents cried and begged the patriarch Higg.
——After he woke up from his lethargy that day, he waited anxiously until dark, but he didn't see the figure of his sensible little tiger cub, Xitu. I also searched for help, but to no avail.
The tiger female, who has always been strong and forbearing, immediately panicked: the cub Xitu is almost everything to him.
In a hurry, Qing Zhe immediately went to the patriarch and asked him to take a few male orcs to the dense forest outside to look for him. He was worried that his cub was lost.
However, Sig's current partner, Kari, strongly blocked it. The reason is: it is dark, and it is dangerous to go into the jungle at this time. The warriors of the tribe cannot be in danger because of your cub alone.As for the patriarch, Xig, Xitu's father, his expression was a little shaken at first, but later he made up his mind when he saw the big belly that his partner Kari was caressing intentionally or unintentionally: "Qing Zhe, don't worry, Go back and wait, Xitu is too disobedient, maybe he is just playing around, maybe he will go back after a while."
Sorry, Kari already has my baby.And Xitu?He didn't pay attention to me as the father of the beast at all, he disobeyed me openly and secretly, and even refused to call me the father of the beast, alas...
Qingzhe endured his anger and continued to seek help: "The patriarch, Kari, I hope he is a cub of the Tiger tribe, and he will be an outstanding warrior in the future; moreover, he is not playful at all, he is very sensible, since I Since he was in poor health, Xitu has always been home early to take care of me. He hasn’t come back today, something must have happened—please don’t worry about other things, just because he is a cub, Arrange to go to the dense forest to find it!"
As soon as he heard the phrase "don't worry about others", Cary suddenly became angry, and he sneered: "Hehe~Qingzhe, what do you mean by other? What do you mean? I know, because Sig finally chose Me, so you have always hated me, and there is nothing you can do about it. Who made you infertile? Tell me, did you let Xitu hide this time on purpose? Just to ask Xigg to go back, right? I Let me tell you, it's impossible!" After speaking, he slammed into it.
Seager took one last look at his teary-eyed ex-partner, and also thought he was lying with Hito just to get himself back, so he ended up chasing Kari into the house without saying anything.
— Beast God, Beast God~
Qingzhe cried and laughed sadly, and stumbled away to continue looking for help from other orcs.
"Why did Xigg become like this? Xitu is his cub? Why did he choose Kari? Woooooo..." Wei Ze and Xingda helped their good friend Qingzhe to leave, and they were worried about what happened to their good friend. And weep.
Wei Ze comforted his friend: "Qing Zhe, don't worry, Rui will definitely help find him." Rui is Wei Ze's partner, a leopard orc.
Xingda also hurriedly said: "Joe will be back soon, Qingzhe, let's go to Shimen and wait for them right away, we will definitely get Xitu back!"
It's a pity that after returning from hunting, several male orcs enthusiastically returned to the dense forest to search for a whole night, but they didn't find the little tiger cub Xitu, and they couldn't bear to bring back bad news to Qingzhe: "...we The footprints and smells traced to Shitu disappeared on the seaside of Sicily..."
Qingzhe immediately slumped on the ground, his eyes turned black for a while, and then his sickly body could no longer hold on and fainted.
——Xitu, my child, don't be afraid, if something happens, your mother and father will go to accompany you soon.
※※※
The next day, the weather over the Sicilian Sea was fine, with blue sky, white clouds and blue waves.
A tiger cub, a white dragon, and a mermaid quickly approached the Sicilian mainland.
"Xitu, do you remember what I taught you?" Ji Mo asked anxiously, not knowing how many times.
"I remember it all, really!" The little tiger cub sat in the giant clam berry, swimming quickly led by the white dragon's paw, looking at the mermaid swimming next to him, he replied seriously.
Ji Mo was as patient as a teacher revisiting knowledge points: "Then you repeat, what should you say and do when you go back?"
Xitu’s good students answer the questions in a straightforward manner:
"First of all, you must hide all the pearls in a secret place, and you cannot let anyone know about them, and you cannot take them home immediately."
Temporary teacher Ji Mo nodded, "Yes, that's right. Then?"
"Then I have to carefully cover up the smell on my body, so that everyone in the tribe believes that I just came to the beach for fun, and then I got lost accidentally and hid in the dense forest for several days before I found my way home."
"Very good, what's next?"
"When no one is paying attention to the safety, I will quietly go out and take a few pearls home, grind them into powder and mix them in broth for my mother and father to drink until he recovers."
"What about at the same time?" Ji Mo was persuasive.
Xitu immediately continued: "At the same time, we must insist on getting the herbs back from the priest, so that others will think that the priest cured the mother and father."
Ao Bai put forward his own suggestion: "When you don't know how to answer, you cry. It's better to cry while shaking." They shouldn't embarrass a poor cub too much.
Xitu immediately touched his knee in embarrassment, but agreed in a low voice.
Ji Mo strongly praised: "Ao Bai is right, this is a universal solution! Xitu, you only need to finish the words I taught you, and then you will cry no matter what others ask you, and say that you are too scared. Remember, act fearful, sad and hopeless, so other people will shut up."
"But, but I'm a male, so I can't cry all the time~" the half-big tiger clan with strong self-esteem expressed embarrassment.
"Hey, no matter male or female, you are just a cub anyway, what are you afraid of! There is nothing shameful about it. If you want to live a peaceful life with your parents in the future, you must do this, you know?" Ji Mo hurriedly Instill these thoughts in him, a man can bend and stretch.
"Okay then." Xitu nodded with a frustrated face, feeling that he would definitely not be the strongest and bravest little orc in the tribe in the future.
※※※
Ao Bai and Ji Mo's speed was very fast, and this was still under the condition that they were escorting Xitu as smoothly as possible, and it only took them half a day to reach the distance that the little tiger cub had worked so hard to swim for a day and a night.
The mainland of Sicily was right in front of them. Ao Bai and Ji Mo stopped at a distance from the coast. For safety reasons, they did not want to land.
Xitu saw that the dense forest was ahead, and this was the time to really part.
Tears slowly welled up in the little tiger cub's eyes. He hugged his animal skin bag and refused to leave the giant clam for a long time.
Ji Mo patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. Xitu, listen, it's still early, you have to hurry up and find a good place to hide the pearls, and then get some more The juice of the grass you mentioned is rubbed on the body, it’s better to roll on the ground a few more times; in the end, we must return to the tribe before dark, it’s not safe to stay in the dense forest too late, you know?”
Xitu choked up and nodded, "I see. You don't have to worry about me. There are no big beasts around here. I often come to play."
Ao Bai looked at him encouragingly, "Go."
The little tiger cub slid into the sea, and made one final confirmation: "The sun above the head will rise and set twenty times before the cold season arrives before coming to the beach to wait for you, right?"
Ji Mo nodded, "Yes! Don't come here every day. From today onwards, every time it gets dark, you will pick up a small stone and go home, and you can only come if you have saved up to twenty. During this time, you can quietly Collect herbs from the ground, you know?"
Xitu secretly shed a tear and slipped into the sea.
"I know, I will definitely save up to twenty stones before coming here."
Ji Mo pointed to the land not far away: "Go, we will watch you land safely before leaving."
Xitu started to swim slowly, crying while swimming, and never looked back.
When he finally stepped on solid land, he quickly turned his head: Ao Bai and Ji Mo were still watching him from the same place.
After waving his hand farewell, Ji Mo made a cheering gesture to the little tiger cub before he dared to turn around and leave.
※※※
After Xitu wiped away his tears, he earnestly followed Ao Bai and Ji Mo's instructions and got things done one by one.
At dusk at the end, the little tiger cub that appeared at the gate of the Sicilian Eastern Continent tribe was miserable and dizzy: the animal skin skirt was so dirty that its original color could not be distinguished, its hair was messy and tangled, its body was covered in dust, and its expression was in a daze.
——In fact, Xitu was afraid. After all, he was just a cub, and he was worried that he would not be able to convince his tribe and his mother and father.
As a result, with the help of patrolling adult males and under the watchful eyes of many ethnic groups in the tribe, Xitu was sent back to his home. During this period, he kept in mind the instructions of Ao Bai and Ji Mo: tremble, be afraid, and play dumb.
On the way, he was extremely anxious and tried desperately to cry, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't cry.
However, after seeing his mother and father Qingzhe's embrace with open arms, Xitu's nose was sore, and he couldn't help crying and rushed forward, hugging and crying into a ball.
When the onlookers sighed, sighed, rejoiced, and rejoiced that the little orc had returned safely, Rui, the leopard warrior who was the first to discover Xitu, had secretly smeared the blood from his injury during hunting today on the little tiger cub. He subconsciously Helped the little tiger cub to cover it up.
——Why does Xitu seem to have the smell of a dragon...
