Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

Except for this fat bird and some small insects, Silas saw no other living things on this island.The plants on the island are also very strange. In addition to the coconut trees and some other trees that can be found on many islands, there is also a kind of flower that he has never seen before on this island. The plants are as tall as a person and the leaves are very small. , but the crimson flower is bigger than an open palm, and exudes a strong fragrance. The strange fragrance that Silas smelled when he first came to the island is from this kind of flower, and what's even more strange is that as long as Silas The torch in Rath's hand got a little closer, and the crimson petals would shrink quickly.

But Silas was not in the mood to carefully study all kinds of strange creatures on the island. He slashed his sword and advanced through the jungle, only thinking about getting to Sarannar as soon as possible.

It was completely dark now, and Silas didn't know how long he had been walking, and he even suspected that he was looking in the wrong direction.After chopping off some strange flowers, Silas's eyes suddenly opened up, and he finally came to the edge of the trace that was knocked out by Salanar.

Silas ran towards the black dragon, tripping over protruding tree trunks and rocks several times, and his hands were skinned, but he didn't care.

Seeing a strange man holding a torch rushing over, several fat birds gathered on the wings of Sarannar were frightened and scattered. Silas saw a wound there, and the black dragon was covered with hard scales Covered, so that these fat birds who don't know whether they are carnivorous or scavengers have nowhere to eat, but they finally found a wound on the black dragon's wing, and kept pecking at the strong wing on his wing bit by bit. Membrane, and Sarannar did not respond to it.

Silas's whole mind was numb, unable to think about anything, he could only mechanically walk over and caress Sarannar's head on the ground, lift the eyelids of the black dragon, and see that the golden pupils were opened by the firelight. Shrunk a bit.

Silas burst into tears suddenly.

"Sarannar!" he cried in a crying voice, "Gods, I finally found you, Sarannar...wake up!"

"Salanar!"

The sleeping black dragon heard a familiar cry, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his elder brother Cargasus flying over with difficulty, holding a bison in his front paws.

Saranar found himself sitting at the entrance of the cave by the cliff, holding a book in his hand, the pages had been blown by the wind, he couldn't remember which page he fell asleep on It is written on the current page: Crimson hibiscus, also called hypnotic flower, is a rare plant with predatory behavior. The fragrance it emits can make nearby creatures fall asleep, and the prey will continuously inhale more in their sleep. Too much fragrance, resulting in a long sleep, and eventually died of dehydration, starvation and extreme weakness, and rotted into fertilizer for hypnotic flowers. Only a few birds are immune to this smell.

Saranar always felt that this piece of knowledge was very important, but he couldn't remember why.

Kargasus threw the prey in the cave, walked up to him and sat down, firmly fixed himself on the rock with his strong and powerful claws: "You have transformed yourself into a human form again, it's fine if you become so thin , still asleep at the entrance of the cave, what if it is blown down by the wind?"

Sarannar sighed: "You don't need to bring me food, I can hunt by myself now."

"But you forget to eat as soon as you read the book. If your mother comes back and finds that you are hungry and thin, you must punish me severely." Kagasus blocked the sunlight for him with his body, and stretched out one wing to cover him. A pergola was erected, and the humanoid Sarannar was enclosed inside.

Salanar simply lay back and leaned on Kagasus's wings: "I just had a dream."

"Oh? What kind of dream." Kagasus looked down at him. From Sarannar's perspective, Kagasus looked like a silhouette of a dragon against the light.

"I dreamed that... we all grew up and became as strong as our father, and Lucia hatched, a beautiful girl. I also dreamed that you had your own child."

"Really? Who did I have sex with, Xuefeng?" Kargasus asked with great interest.

"Yes, Xuefeng gave birth to three eggs for you, including two silver dragons and one black dragon." Sarannar stretched out his hand, looking at the five fingers unique to humans transformed by magic, he clenched his hand into a fist and Let go, doing this meaningless action over and over again.

"So, it's a sweet dream," Cargarthus said with a smile.

"It's not a good dream." Sarannar sighed and closed his eyes, "In the dream, both father and mother died, and you became the leader of the dragon group, but then you also died, and I took The tribe you left behind tried to cooperate with humans, and then raised Lucia and your children with difficulty in a place that humans don't know."

"Cooperate with humans? It really seems like something you would do." Kargasus said, "But humans are very cunning, they will definitely find a way to deceive you."

"Yeah." Sarannar let out a breath slowly, with a slight smile on his face, "Humans are complex creatures, and their best and worst qualities will be reflected in them. "

"You have always been so interested in the human race, what a strange hobby."

"Because I know that I am weak." Sarannar said with a smile, "So I have to learn some ways of survival that belong to the weak."

"You are not weak, because I am here." Kargasus said in a hearty voice, "I will always protect you."

"...Thank you," Sarannar said, "for giving me a good dream."

Then the world in front of him suddenly began to collapse, the sky shattered like shattered glass, the mountains and the land fell into the endless abyss one by one, and Cargasus beside him roared and roared unwillingly, baring his teeth and claws. He tried to pounce on Saranar, but was torn into pieces by a strong suction force.

Saranar finally opened his eyes.

"Salanar!" Silas looked at him in surprise, "You finally woke up!"

"Sylas..." Salanar didn't use the magic that can simulate voices to speak, but directly established a spiritual connection with Silas. This magic is much less labor-intensive than onomatopoeia. Even Silas In this way, novices with low magic power can also master it. Obviously, Sarannar did this because he no longer has the strength to use more advanced magic.

"It's me, I'm here, I found you!" Silas' tears welled up again, and he felt that he hadn't shed as many tears in the past ten years as he did today.

"Fire..." the black dragon said again.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you!" Silas took the torch in his hand a little farther away, and his tear-stained face was full of guilt and self-blame, "I tried a lot of ways and nothing happened. I couldn't wake you up, so I tried to burn your nose with fire, it must be very painful, right? I... I'm so sorry..."

"Put fire near my nose." Sarannar continued to speak in his consciousness with psychic magic, "That dark red flower...has a hypnotic smell, ancient books say...only fire can disperse."

Celas immediately understood, no wonder he felt dizzy and drowsy as soon as he landed on the island, but he was able to hold on all the way until now. If the time hadn't happened to be at night, and he hadn't just lit a torch for lighting, he would probably be sleeping like Sarannar now Died on this island and was eaten by that strange fat bird.

Silas found more dead sticks and dry grass, and lit a fire in front of Sarannar, who spoke to him intermittently with psychic magic as he worked.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Fourteen days have passed since the day you disappeared, and it will be fifteen days until dawn." Thinking of this, Silas burst into tears again, "It's been half a month, and you just haven't eaten I lay here without a drink for half a month, and I was bitten in several places by those birds who took advantage of the fire... If I found you later, I really... Gods, I found you."

"Yes, you found me." Sarannar couldn't even raise his head, but just looked at him quietly with golden eyes.

Silas sniffed, and wiped away his tears in embarrassment: "The fire should still burn for a while, I'll find you some water."

In a place with mountains and trees like this, you can usually find some fresh water overflowing the surface. Silas held a torch and searched for a short time, and found a stream that could only be regarded as a small ditch at best. He did not have any means to draw water As for tools, he had to take off his shirt and bring it back to Sarannar after being soaked in water.

Sarannar opened his mouth with the remaining strength and let Silas squeeze the water onto his tongue. Silas saw that the surface of his tongue was as dry as sandpaper, and almost fell off again in distress. Tears, I hurried to get more water, I only hated that the main component of Dragon Knight's pants was hard leather, and they couldn't be taken off and used to absorb water.

After running seven or eight times to relieve the thirst of some black dragons, Silas returned to the place where he killed a bird just now, trying to get back the piece of meat that was better than nothing for the dragon, but there was only one bird left on the ground. With some bloody feathers and broken bones, it seems that the only residents on this island are not picky eaters, even the corpses of their own kind will not be spared.

There was already water, even if there was no food, the black dragon would not starve to death immediately, but when he thought that Sarannar was starving, Silas was restless.

"Don't be so busy, you should take a rest too." Sarannar said consciously to Silas who was still wandering around in the woods.

Silas had no choice but to pick up some dry firewood and go back to Sarannar, and he stirred up the fire a little more: "I'll go to the beach to light a fire when the sun comes up, and Harrog will come to rescue him when he sees the smoke." We are. If it is him, there must be a way to find food for you."

Silas felt that he was useless, he was a big man after all, and he had received so many years of combat training, but he could only let Sarannar continue to starve.Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and went to get water again and again. With Saranar's size and thirst for so many days, the little water he fed must be far from enough.
