Hello!this is my dragon

Ideal is plump, reality is skinny.

Ji Mo carved another horizontal line on the flexible bark with all his strength, and finished carving a "Zheng" character again. Two orthographic characters have already been carved on the palm-sized bark.

"Ten days. Ao Bai, we have been in the dense forest of Sicily for ten days." Ji Mo half-lyed on Bailong's body, and showed him the bark in his hand.

At dawn, they exhaustedly found a deeper place in a small river, stayed there and roughly sorted out a cave, and then both of them cuddled together and began to rest.

Last night, the couple stumbled and swam slowly along a creek, some sections of the current were so shallow that they had to change into human figures and go ashore to pass, not to mention bumping into a few nocturnal beasts on the road, the inevitable happened After the conflict managed to subdue them and escape, they encountered a very steep waterfall. Fortunately, Ao Bai became more and more proficient in controlling the power of water and ice, so they went up without much effort. If they really had to climb on two legs If you go up, you don't know how much time you will be wasted.

The terrain of this river is flat, the drainage area is wide and deep, and there are many fish and shrimps. Finally, Ao Bai can transform into a dragon shape and stretch his body.

"Well, it's been ten days." Bai Long licked his partner's shoulders distressedly. With the passage of time, the raised scar on it still failed to dissipate and flatten out as he expected, and became a permanent scar. foregone conclusion.

Ji Mo touched his dragon horns to comfort him, "It's okay, Ao Bai, I don't feel any pain at all, a few scars on a man's body are medals for heroes."

Bailong still blamed himself guiltily: "You don't need to comfort me, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been busy catching giant clams and ignored you then, that eagle wouldn't have had the chance to attack you."

"Okay, Ao Bai, that's none of your business. I asked you to catch giant clams. Have you forgotten?" Ji Mo said sleepily, leaning on Bailong's chest with his eyes closed, groping Then put the bark and sharp stones back into the silk bag.

"Ji Mo, are you sleepy?" Bai Long quickly stretched his body, making the mermaid sleep more comfortably.

"Well, I'm sleepy. It's been ten days, and we're still wandering in the streams and rivers. Could it be that we've gone in the wrong direction? In which direction is the holy lake?" Ji Mo quickly asked Falling into a dazed state, he muttered worriedly to himself.

Bailong looked at the mermaid in his arms with his head hooked, blinked his eyes, and said with certainty: "I feel that we should not be far from the holy lake, because the recent water flow is more and more concentrated, and the flow direction is also the same. .Since it is the holy lake in the eyes of land orcs, I think it must be very big, and the fresh water around here is converging in the same direction—”

Then, his calm analysis was interrupted by the mermaid's long and steady breathing.

"Ji Mo? Ji Mo? Did you fall asleep so soon?" Bai Long couldn't help but leaned over and licked the mermaid's cheek, but the mermaid didn't respond at all, which showed how deeply he slept.

"It must be because I'm too tired from traveling recently. Not only do I have to swim, but I also have to walk, and I also have to be wary of beasts and orcs on land. Alas, you should go to sleep."

After Bailong looked at his sleeping partner, he let go of him gently, swam out to observe the situation outside, and returned to the temporarily dug cave after confirming that everything was normal, and checked the water curtain. Only then did he dare to go back and sleep with his own mermaid.

I'm also a little tired.

The time of deep sleep passed very quickly, and when Bailong opened his eyes again, the sky had already turned dark, and it was time to cheer up and hurry.

But Ji Mo was still asleep, not even flicking his tail.

"Ji Mo, Ji Mo, wake up, it's getting dark." Bai Long had already gone out to swim around under the cover of the night, and after sleeping in the dragon shape for a whole day, his mental state had completely recovered, and he was taking his Enough food came back and patiently woke up his merfolk to eat.

Uh~~~ Don't make noise!

The mermaid's brows and eyes were wrinkled, and he turned over angrily, and patted the white dragon with his tail unceremoniously.

"Do you still want to sleep?" Bai Long changed direction and asked again without hesitation.

The mermaid didn't move at all, just snoring comfortably.

"Okay then, I'll call you later." Bailong said to himself, he slowly transformed into a human form, stretched his limbs and other joints, swam gently to the side to eat fish and shrimp quietly, and glanced at him from time to time Looking at the mermaid who is sleeping soundly.

After a long time, Ao Baiyou went out to the cave to have a look: it was already dark, and he really had to start his journey.

So, he swam to Ji Mo again, this time he hugged him directly, and put the shrimp meat to his lips: "Ji Mo, wake up, I caught your favorite shrimp."

The mermaid became angry immediately. He felt that he was forcibly woken up in the middle of the night when he was sleeping soundly. His tail kept flicking back and forth, desperately trying to struggle to lie flat and continue sleeping.

"Ji Mo, it's getting dark, it's really getting dark." Ao Bai said helplessly, thinking that you should get up and eat something even if you don't want to hurry?

--What?Is it dark?

After ten days of upside-down life, Ji Mo has gotten used to the way of saying goodnight at dawn and sleeping with the husband and wife hugging each other. When it gets dark, he has to get up quickly to eat his fill of fish and shrimp and rush on his way in the dark.

"Is it dark? Why is it so fast?" Ji Mo struggled for a while before forcing his eyes to open a slit, and asked wearily.

Ao Bai put down the food, hugged the mermaid and gently rubbed his cheeks to help him wake up, "Well, are you still sleepy? It's okay, you can eat some fish and shrimp first, and I can swim with you. You go back to sleep."

Ji Mo scratched his itch and narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, how can I do that? I've already rested. It's probably because I walked too much last night."

Tsk tsk tsk~Last night, a large section of the stream was so shallow that they couldn't swim at all. They could only use their legs to grope their way under the stars and moonlight, exhausted to death.

"Eat, it's all you like." Ao Bai stuffed the food into his partner's hand.

"Sorry Ao Bai, you don't have to wait for me next time, just push me up." Ji Mo ate the fish and shrimp without much appetite, feeling that his throat was full before he ate.

"Although we are in a hurry, we are not so anxious that we have to leave in the dark." Ao Bai looked at the mermaid's listless look, and felt a little worried.

Ji Mo eats very little, he has been feeling sleepy all the time recently, and feels that if he lets himself sleep, he can sleep for three days and three nights.

They were a little unlucky tonight.

Ji Mo's condition tonight was exceptionally bad. Although he wasn't doing well a few days ago, he swam like a mess today.

The mermaid’s night vision ability is very weak, usually he swims closely behind Ao Bai, the dragon’s night vision ability is very strong, he can accurately avoid sharp dead branches, rotten wood, animal bones and other obstacles.

"Hey~" Ji Mo yelled in pain again. He was sleepy and distracted just now, and he didn't notice Ao Bai's turn, and bumped straight into a branch, and his arm was cut. Beads of blood ooze out.

Ao Bai quickly turned around, picked him up regardless of the other party's objection, and carefully passed through this extremely fast and narrow section of the river.

"Ji Mo, are you uncomfortable? Don't lie to me."

The mermaid said ashamedly: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just very sleepy. I'm sorry Ao Bai, I have to trouble you like this in the water."

I'm simply a burden in human form, the hind legs of dragging dragons...

Ao Bai nodded, "If you're just sleepy, then it's fine, you go to sleep, and I'll call you again if you need anything."

Ji Mo quickly said: "No, no, I'll wait until dawn before going to bed."

Although he said so, he also thought so in his heart, but not long after, Ji Mo's eyes that he forcibly opened slowly closed. Although he struggled to wake up several times, it was a pity that Ao Bai's chest was really tight. It was too thick and too secure. In the end, he failed to overcome the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep amidst the shaking.

"What's wrong with him? Today he has slept through the whole day, and I called him very late at night, how could he be so sleepy?" Ao Bai worried while he was nimbly shuttled through the bottom of the dense forest and river. think.

The sky was getting bright, and he took the time to swim, and Ao Bai suddenly felt something was wrong: Is it the smell of land orcs?Why is it even in the water?

Ao Bai stopped, not daring to go any further. He listened attentively while looking at the water: it was still very quiet outside, only the usual chirping of birds.

He knew that his silver-white hair was very, very conspicuous in the river in the dense forest, so unless he was sure it was safe, he would never come out of the water easily.

There was a clump of lush aquatic plants in front of him. Ao Bai swam over, and under the cover of the aquatic plants, he quietly floated up to observe the surrounding environment. The first thought he came out of the water was: Oops, he actually swam into a tribe of land orcs. Yet?

This is a section of river with very stable water flow, the river is deep enough, the river banks on both sides are very open green grassland, and the nearby jungle trees are relatively sparse.

"Ao Bai~" At this moment, Ji Mo woke up in the cold morning breeze, he looked around suspiciously, "I'm sorry, did I sleep until dawn?"

"Hush~" Ao Bai covered the mermaid's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, we seem to have swam near some land orc tribe, and there is a strong orc smell on the shore."

Ji Mo cheered himself up, and he took Ao Bai's palm away, "Isn't it? Is it so unlucky? I don't know if this is the small river outside the orc tribe in the Eastern Continent that Xitu mentioned."

Ao Bai nodded solemnly, "I guess it should be. The smell here is closer to that of Xitu, and completely different from that of the Eagle Clan."

Ji Mo's heart was beating very fast. He pulled the water plants and tried to stretch his neck to look around. When he saw the remains of animal skeletons, wood thorns, and burnt charcoal ashes on the grass in the distance, he immediately concluded: " No need to guess, there must be a tribe of orcs around here. They can hunt, make tools, and cook meat and eat cooked food! Ao Bai, let's swim farther and find a place to hide, and come out after dark. Didn’t Xitu say that Ao Yang just jumped into the river outside the tribe and disappeared? Hope is the river.”

Ao Bai nodded, "Okay, let's go downstream, the sky will be bright soon."

With a particularly excited mood, the dragon fish quickly left this section of the river, found a bend formed by the deep impact of the river in the far downstream, and temporarily dug a cave to hide it, just as they were about to go out to catch some fish and shrimp to feed their hunger , Ao Bai suddenly dragged Ji Mo back to the hiding place, raised his finger and pointed to the river bank outside.

Ji Mo nodded silently, and the couple hid at the bottom of the river and waited quietly.

Not long after, a low voice came from the river bank a few meters away.

"Hey~ Higg doesn't know what he's thinking." It was a clear male voice.

"Only he himself knows that he is the patriarch, and he has long stopped listening to what we say." It was a deep and worried voice.

Ji Mo's eyes lit up, and he tried to listen carefully.

"I haven't seen him smile in a long time since he married Cary."

"This is his own choice. Although the beast god has not said what kind of punishment will be given to the beastman who abandons his partner, it does not mean that there is no such thing."

"There were a couple of times I heard Cary and Sig arguing, and the priests were often at their house."

Cary?Ji Mo and Ao Bai looked at each other and confirmed in their hearts: this is the vicinity of the orc tribe in the Eastern Continent, Kari is the female of the patriarch, and the patriarch is the beast father of Xitu.They continued to listen: "Really? I don't know, I live far away."

"Hey~ everyone who lives nearby heard it, but they just pretended not to hear it. That female in Kari... oh~ you know it too."

"Forget it, we can't control this matter. It's getting late, why haven't the other warriors come over yet?"

"Wait a little longer, we got up early. It will probably take quite a while to go to Crocodile Valley this time. Did you bring any dried meat?"

"Here, my partner packed me a load of jerky."

"Pearls are not so easy to change. I hope we can find poisonous dragon fruit this time, and exchange for more pearls before the cold season comes."

"I hope that every time the warriors who go to Crocodile Valley can return to the tribe safely."

"Hey, they are finally here, let's go over."

"Rui, do you remember to..."

"……Yeah. I know……"

The arowana at the bottom of the water waited until there was no movement outside, and then they made a surprise conversation.

"Wow~ It seems that we didn't get lost, at most we just went around in a big circle." Ji Mo said with a sigh of relief. He had heard that Xitu said that he could go from the tribe to the seaside of Sicily and back in one day. Maybe it was because of them This time I traveled by water and only relied on my own analysis, so I went around in circles in the dense forest rivers and streams extending in all directions.

Ao Bai put his arms around the mermaid and said happily: "Great, let's search around after dark to see if we can find the traces left by Ao Yang, maybe we can find the holy lake along the way. "

Ji Mo asked worriedly: "But it's been so long, the smell left by Ao Yang in the water should have been washed away long ago, right?"

"Well, it should be like this, but I hope to find things like the scales he left behind or the stones that the dragon's horn rubbed against." Ao Bai said expectantly.

Ji Mo said with more interest: "The two orcs said just now that the crocodile beast valley, poisonous dragon fruit, and pearl exchange? Do they have any collaborators who exchange pearls? Who do you think it is? Ao Yang?"

Ao Bai is more concerned about the fruit, "It should be. Ao Yang has lived in the dense forest on land for so long. It is not surprising that he has any private transactions with Dong Dalu. If they are really equal in strength, they will always fight back and forth. It's not worth it either. Ji Mo, what do you think is the poisonous dragon fruit? Will it be the same as what we discovered before—"

His discussion was interrupted again by the little mermaid's snort, "Ji Mo? Ji Mo? Why are you falling asleep again? Are you sick?"

It's a pity that this dragon can only be in a hurry, because there is no one around him to turn to for help, except Ao Yang who is far away in the holy lake where he doesn't know where.

Ao Yang, he should help me, right?We are all sea orcs and dragons, and I can help him deal with the land orcs who attacked him, and at the same time, I am very happy to invite him to the Sicilian Sea as a guest or even a long-term stay...

Ao Bai didn't have much confidence in his heart, and he was forced to venture ashore this time.

"Father, I didn't expect Higg to be such an orc..." Kari cried bitterly while hugging a middle-aged female with a big belly.

The female's expression was very sad and pitiful, mixed with anger, before he could speak, another middle-aged male with a burly figure and a calm face in the room first cursed with hatred: "What's the use of crying? What did the beast father tell you at the beginning? Xigg and Qingzhe have been together since childhood to adulthood, and they let nature take their course as a partner and have cubs. Even if Xigg doesn't like Qingzhe, he won't ignore him, let alone they still There's a cub Hito!"

"Don't talk about Carmon, isn't Kari also pregnant with Higg's cub? How can you blame the female for such a thing? It's all Higg's fault." The middle-aged female hugged Kari again and choked. explain.

Kari wiped away tears, and said decisively: "Father, mother, don't worry about me. I was able to snatch Higg here, but now as long as I don't let him go, he will never go back! Qingzhe, Qingzhe, Hehe~ Since he has already taken Xitu to the holy lake, how can he return? Our tribe does not welcome females and cubs who do not believe that they have lived with evil dragons!"

Carmon was stunned for a moment, then furious: "Kari! What are you doing? Could it be that you spread the rumors in the tribe recently? How could you do this? No matter what conflicts you have with Higg and Qingzhe , Xitu is still a cub, he is the future tiger warrior of the tribe, if you slander him and his parents like that, he will hate you when he grows up!"

Mu Yan hurriedly spoke for Kari again: "Okay, Carmon, what Kari said is also true. Qingzhe, a female, volunteered to go to the holy lake to accompany the evil dragon. No matter how you say it, it doesn't sound good."

Kari snorted and said with a sneer: "Every time I quarrel with Higg, he keeps saying that Qingzhe made sacrifices for the tribe and went to the holy lake without fear of danger, then I'm just fulfilled now." Is his great spirit of sacrifice? What did I do wrong? You can’t cover up such a remarkable female, and someone will praise him if you talk about it.”

Now that you've gone, stay in the holy lake forever, anyway, your cub is there too, don't think about coming back and affecting the lives of Higg and me!

Carmon scolded for a while, but seeing his beloved female child holding her big belly and crying silently, and her partner spared no effort to defend her, his anger suddenly vented.

"Hey~ I'm old, you can go torment yourself."

That's my only female child after all, alas...

※※※

Ao Bai and Ji Mo excitedly sneaked along a deep dark river. They waited patiently until after dark before swimming out from their hiding places. They groped along that section of the river inch by inch, and they found themselves on a hidden cliff. The entrance to an underground river was found at the bottom.

"Hey~ I now feel that Ao Yang should live comfortably and safely. There are many streams and small rivers on the mainland, and there are also underground rivers connected. Anyway, he is a dragon. As long as he hides in the water, no land orc can do anything to him. ah."

Ao Bai nodded in agreement, "I found a lot of his shed scales along the way, which means that Ao Yang often comes down to swim, exactly as I thought."

Ji Mo teased his partner and himself by the way: "Well~ I think the same as you. When I was in the Sicilian Sea before, I imagined that Ao Yang was hiding in a lake all day long, waiting for him to come out all day. As for the dragon-slaying land orcs, Ao Yang never dared to leave the holy lake for his own safety..."

When it came to this, the mermaid and the white dragon looked at each other, smiling very knowingly.

"Hey ~ Ao Bai, after we see Ao Yang, don't be impulsive, we have to explain our intentions as soon as possible and try to get his help - of course, if he is not willing, then there is nothing we can do about it Yes, I can't force it."

Ao Bai agreed perfunctorily, he thought we had worked so hard to find him, how could we return without success?No matter what, let Ao Yang nod to help.

Soon after, the water in the dark river gradually became colder, and the terrain gradually went up.

"Ao Bai, I think this should be the holy lake!" Ji Mo swam out flexibly with his tail, and said happily when he saw the vast and clear water suddenly opened up.

The holy lake is in the shape of a huge funnel, deep enough, clear enough and wide enough.

No wonder Ao Yang has been able to live there for so long and so steadily.

Ao Bai then swam out of the narrow exit of the dark river and followed the mermaid.

On the shore of the lake at this time, Qingzhe was busy with barbecue and cooking soup. Looking at the sky, he felt that Ao Yang and Xitu who had gone out hunting should be back soon, so the movements of his hands were even faster.

Suddenly, there was a crash on the lake in front of him, and something popped out.

Qing Zhe stood up vigilantly: What is it?When Ao Yang went to hunt, the human form came back with the prey on his back.

Ji Mo and Ao Bai were also stunned. They swam around the bottom just now and didn't find Ao Yang, so they wanted to come out to have a look. Who knew they saw a strange man with no orc aura but with the aura of a dragon... …people?

After staring at each other for a while, Qingzhe didn't say a word, his face turned pale and he quickly ran towards the wooden house: Beast God, another dragon?He is the dragon, right?

Ao Bai subconsciously sent out a water rope to tie Qingzhe and drag him to the lake shore. He thought about explaining why he came here so that no one would run away.

Ji Mo said friendlyly: "Ao Bai, let go quickly and don't scare him! Hey brother ~ you don't have to be afraid, we have no malicious intentions—"

Before the mermaid finished speaking, Ao Yang, who was returning from the distance with the prey he caught, saw a roar from a distance, ran over quickly and jumped into the holy lake, and Ao Yang instantly turned into a strong and sturdy dragon
