Based on Rong Heng's limited understanding of the dragon clan, the cubs of the dragon clan usually have a long growth period.The dragons are huge in size and strong in physical fitness, and it takes a long time to fully develop and mature.

It's obviously not right for a little dragon cub to gain weight every day.

It's like a balloon that keeps expanding, but the inside is actually empty.

That night, after everyone was asleep, Rong Heng quietly left the bedroom.

On the soft cushions in the living room, a dragon cub that had grown up a lot was lying face down, a pair of bat wings hanging down loosely, and his precious gemstones were pressed under his belly.

Rong Heng transformed into a human form, picked him up lightly, and carefully inspected his body from beginning to end.

Because of the rapid growth during this period, the small horns on the top of the cub's head also protruded, and a short round protruded, just like the cub itself, looking round and harmless; the bat wings behind him were compared with the chubby body , still looks a little miniature, but the bat wing bones are very strong, and even blunt white bony spurs grow out.

Except for excess fat and excess weight, the whole cub looks very healthy.

Rong Heng pressed against his forehead again, feeling his mental state.

Also very peaceful.

It doesn't look like there is any problem.

Is it really just a matter of entering the developmental period?

But he had never heard of any dragon clan growing so fast.

Rong Heng put the cub back, his doubts still lingering in his heart.

The little dragon cub, who was in a deep sleep, didn't notice this, and was still snoring happily.He didn't know what he dreamed about in his dream, he closed his eyes and rubbed against the soft cushion, humming softly through his nose, then Rong Heng saw him unconsciously stretching out his paws, groping around for a while, grabbing a Pop the gem in your mouth.

Crunch, crunch.

In the living room, there was the sound of chewing teeth, and after a while, it was quiet again.

The little dragon cub pouted, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

Is there a problem with gems?

Rong Heng's eyes fell on those gems, he picked up one and looked at it carefully, it was indeed a gem, and there was nothing wrong with it.

He has never heard of the saying that dragons can develop rapidly by eating gems.

After meditating silently for a while, Rong Heng couldn't think of the key point, so he could only switch back to the cub form and return to the bedroom.

Looks like I'll have to contact Hector tomorrow to ask.

In the early morning, before Ruan Shiqing woke up, he heard the cry of the little dragon cub in the living room.

???

Ruan Shiqing woke up suddenly, put on her clothes in a hurry and went out to check the situation.

I saw the little dragon cub sitting on the ground, holding the jewel box and weeping, looking very pitiful: "My jewels are missing a lot, woo woo woo woo!"

"There are fewer gems?" Ruan Shiqing stepped forward to take a look, but didn't feel any change: "Aren't there still so many?"

"Ten are missing." The little dragon cub sniffled and choked up, "I counted them last night."

The gem box is now his most precious thing. Every night before going to bed, he pours the gems on the cushion and plays with them one by one.When I was tired from playing, I lay down on it to sleep.When you wake up the next day, gather up the gems on the cushion, put them back into the gem box, and take them to school.

In fact, he felt that the gemstones seemed to be missing a little before, but he just thought that he had made a mistake and didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until yesterday morning that the little dragon cub realized that his favorite ruby ​​was missing. .

He was sure that the ruby ​​was still there before going to sleep, but when he woke up, it was gone.

The little dragon cub has just grown his mind. Last night before going to bed, he counted the gems carefully. This morning, he just opened his eyes and got up to count the gems.

As a result, it was impossible to count, a full ten were missing!

The little dragon cub was stunned, and the more he thought about it while holding the jewel box, the more sad he became, so he couldn't help crying.

The little mermaid and the little fox were also awakened by his cries, and they helped to search around, but they didn't find any gems left in the living room.

"Are you sure you didn't remember the wrong amount?"

Ruan Shiqing also helped to find it. There are not many things in the living room. It is a playground for the cubs. Every inch has been searched, and there is no trace of the lost gem.He even asked 09 to verify the surveillance to make sure that no outsiders had intruded into the house.

It is impossible for a good gemstone to run away on its own, so I can only wonder if the little boy fell asleep and misremembered the number.

Little Dragon Cub shook his head, his tone firm: "I remember correctly!"

Gems are just missing!

The little boy's mouth was so pouted that he could hang an oil can.

Rong Heng in the bedroom finally couldn't listen anymore, he came out of the bedroom and bumped Ruan Shiqing's leg with his head.

Ruan Shiqing hugged him: "What does Xueqiu want to say?"

Rong Heng tapped his brain, skillfully brought up the virtual keyboard, and started typing: [It's him, sleepwalking, eating. ]

Mr. Rong explained before that when Xueqiu was at home, his language class was very good. Although he couldn't speak, he could communicate through text.In order to make it easier for him to communicate with others, he was specially equipped with a miniature brain.

But if you know it, you know it, this is the first time Xueqiu communicated with him by typing.

Ruan Shiqing looked slightly surprised, but after seeing what he wrote, he was a little speechless,

"How did you know?"

Rong Heng continued typing: [Get up and drink water, I see. ],

Turning his gaze to the little dragon cub, Ruan Shiqing couldn't imagine what it would be like to sleepwalk and eat the gem. He squatted down and let the little dragon cub open his mouth.

"Ah—" Little Dragon Cub opened his mouth obediently.

Ruan Shiqing checked his teeth, they were white and neat, and the little tiger teeth were also very sharp, not worn out, very healthy.

With the hardness of the gem, if the little dragon cub ate it by himself, it would wear down his teeth to some extent... right?

But thinking that this is a dragon clan, maybe they can really chew gems like jelly beans.He suddenly became uncertain again, so he could only take the cubs to the workshop to obtain the monitoring of the protection system.

The surveillance file was opened, and the cubs gathered in front of the virtual screen, watching nervously.

As the time on the video continued to advance, everyone could see that the little dragon cub in the video was still sleeping soundly while pressing the gemstone, but after a while, he became restless, groping around with his little paws, grabbing He took a handful of gems and stuffed them into his mouth.

The creaking sound from the speakers made people's teeth sore.

Pausing the video at the place where the little dragon cub was chewing gems, Ruan Shiqing pinched the little dragon cub's cheek helplessly: "Do you feel toothache?"

Toothache is not a disease, it can kill you.Dental health is very important.

The little dragon cub shook his head blankly, he hadn't recovered from the shock that he had eaten the missing gem while he was sleeping.

The little fox tilted his head and glanced at him. Before he could react, he quickly took out a gemstone from the gem box and stuffed it into his mouth.

As a result, he bit down too hard and hit his teeth.

The little fox's eyes turned red, tears almost came out, she rubbed her eyes hard, and threw the gem back into the box angrily: "It's so hard, what's there to eat?!"

The little mermaid held back a smile and handed her a tissue.

! ! ! !

"what are you doing?!"

The little dragon cub who came back to his senses widened his eyes, took out the bitten gem in disgust, wiped it carefully, and then put it back into the box again.

He didn't shed tears at the moment, but holding the jewel box, he began to worry: "What if I eat up all the jewels?"

When asking this question, Xiaolong Cub was very serious, with an expression that the sky was about to fall.

Ruan Shiqing laughed amused by him, rubbed his little head: "I'll buy it for you after I eat it all."

He looked at the little cub's body that had grown a lot, and wondered if the cub's sudden growth had something to do with these gems.But now he already knows that dragons don't eat gems, and there is no data showing that gems can promote the development of dragons.Ruan Shiqing's heart skipped a beat. Although the little dragon cub looks very healthy now, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems after a long time.

Before everything is clear, you can't spoil the cub like this.

After thinking about the stakes, Ruan Shiqing immediately changed his words: "I don't know if I will have indigestion if I eat too much gemstones. Until Dad finds out, don't eat any more, you understand?"

The little dragon cub was also reluctant to eat gems, he hugged the gem box tightly and nodded obediently.

The truth about the disappearance of the jewel was revealed. After breakfast, the cubs were sent to school.

The morning class is an activity class, Rong Heng sneaked out of the school while the cubs were playing.

Finding a secluded place, he dialed Hector's communication.

It took a long time for the communication to be connected: "What's the matter?"

The virtual image of Hector appeared in front of him, as if he had just returned from the outside, even his eyebrows were covered with ice.

"Did you land on the unknown star?" Rong Heng asked.

Hector let out an unhappy "Yeah": "There is nothing in this ghost place, and the temperature is so low that even I can't resist it for a long time. I advise you not to think about it here. I'm going to leave here tomorrow. In space Floating here is better than being in this damn place."

Part of the reason for sending Hector to Wumingxing to explore the way was to distract him, but now hearing him say that Wumingxing's environment is bad, Rong Heng didn't force it, and went straight to the point, bringing up the purpose of this communication.

"Assuming that a dragon cub that just broke its shell suddenly grows up rapidly, what do you think is the reason?"

Hector: ? ? ? ?

"Then you dragon cub, maybe it's a fake, or you've been given growth hormone." He nestled in the driver's seat, crossed his legs, and with a cigarette in his mouth, he smiled foolishly: "The dragon is only considered 60 years old." As an adult, a cub just out of its shell is only a little bit big, right? How fast can it grow? This assumption is not valid."

Rong Heng: ...

"No hormones." He looked unhappy: "Is there no exception?"

"I didn't say, it's fake, or it's been given hormones, you choose one."

Holding the cigarette butt between his fingers, Hector tapped on the console, and leaned closer to the camera: "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" He narrowed his eyes, and the golden dragon pupils stood up, with scrutiny.

"It's Dares." Rong Heng didn't change his face: "He has a new girlfriend from the dragon tribe, and the other party has a cub, and there is something wrong with that cub recently, so please let me ask you. "

"I just said why His Royal Highness suddenly became concerned about the cubs of the dragon clan." Hector looked a little more serious: "Then I suggest that she take the cubs for an examination first."

Rong Heng ignored this sentence, and put forward a new hypothesis: "This cub stayed in the egg for a long time before breaking its shell, estimated to be more than 100 years. Could this situation lead to abnormal development of the cub? "

"Impossible." Hector retorted: "A dragon egg can take up to three years from its birth to its shell breaking. How could there be a dragon egg that took more than 100 years to hatch—"

Before the words fell, he was stunned for a moment.

——He couldn't help but think of that egg many years ago.At that time, he and Garland had been nesting in Star Luso for more than 20 years just to hatch the dragon egg.

It's a pity that later...

A look of disappointment flashed across Hector's face, he bit the cigarette butt between his teeth, and said vaguely: "It's not impossible, someone told me a theory before: It is said that many dragons think that if the cubs Staying in the dragon egg for too long means that the cub is very weak and will choose to give up hatching. But this is not the case, the cub will continue to accumulate strength in the dragon egg, and after the cub breaks its shell, Using dragon crystals to guide and stimulate the cubs reasonably can promote the rapid growth of the cubs."

This statement can match up with that dragon cub.

Although the dragon cub looks very lively and healthy, for the dragon family, his horns and bat wings are indeed inherently deficient.

"What is dragon crystal?" Rong Heng had never heard of such a thing.

"A kind of ore." Hector explained: "It is hidden deep under the gemstone veins. In a broad sense, it is also a kind of gemstone, but it is a little different from gemstones. There is a very large but important Dragons have Li energy, which can promote the growth and development of cubs, and can also increase the strength of adult dragons."

When he was young and energetic, he dug all the mine veins on Lu Suo star, and only got a small bag.

In a broad sense, it is also a kind of gemstone...Rong Heng suspects that dragon crystals may have been mixed into the gemstones of the little dragon cub.

"How to tell the difference between dragonglass and gemstones?"

Hector spread his hands: "I don't know, at least I won't. The similarity between dragon crystals and gemstones is very high, and it is easy to confuse them. Only professional scholars can tell them apart."

At the beginning, he was only responsible for mining, and the dragon crystals were all extracted from Garland.

He really didn't want to mention Garland, so he thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have hidden a bag of dragon crystals on Luso. If you want, I can tell you the coordinates, and you can get it back for comparison."

Rong Heng pondered for a moment, this is the only way at present.

He hadn't heard of dragon crystals for so many years, and not everyone in the dragon clan knew about it. It would be too easy to expose himself if he went to find someone now, so he might as well bring back a bag of dragon crystals for comparison.

"Thank you, you sent me the coordinates, and I will ask Dares to pick them up."

Hector sent him the coordinates, and the communication was cut off.

He huddled in the driver's seat, looked at the ice field outside the window, and muttered to himself for a long time: "Those dragon crystals have been saved for so long but haven't come in handy. I hope they will be useful this time."

Rong Heng got the coordinates, but he didn't inform Dares.

At this time, Dares should have arrived in Yanjis. It is not realistic to ask him to go to Lusuo star to get the dragon crystal. After much deliberation, it is safest for him to go there himself.

After pondering for a while, Rong Heng sent another text message to Ruan Shiqing: [Mr. Ruan, because something happened at home, I need to take Rong Xing home. I'll send someone to pick him up in the afternoon.Return to star B3024 in about ten days. ]

After doing all this.Rong Heng climbed over the wall and returned to the school.

After Ruan Shiqing received Mr. Rong's text message, he asked 09 to pack up Xueqiu's things.

When I went to pick up the cubs after school in the afternoon, I even asked Xueqiu for ten days off.

Only when they got home did the cubs know that Snowball was leaving.

The little dragon cub rushed forward to hold down Rong Heng, rubbing against his body: "Then when will you come back?"

Although it was a coquettish move, the current little dragon cub did it with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Being caught off guard by him, Rong Heng was a little overwhelmed.

With a sullen face, he pulled the heavy little dragon cub away, but was hugged by the little fox again. Even the little mermaid was lying on the edge of the pool, stretched out his head and grabbed his ear, and looked at him with blue eyes.

The pups were all waiting for his answer.

"..."

Forget it, don't be angry.

It's not worth getting mad at a bunch of cubs.

His Royal Highness broke free from the cub's siege, called up the virtual screen, and typed: [Ten days later. ]

But the cubs are only now beginning to learn the phonetic symbols of Interstellar Common Language, and they don't know the characters.

The little dragon cub stretched his neck and looked at it for a while, then turned his head and asked the little fox in a low voice, "What did he write?"

Nota shook his head and whispered, "I don't know."

Rong Heng who heard everything in his ears: "..."

He said that if you don't study, you will become hot chicken sooner or later.

I don't even know such a simple word, two little chickens.

On the contrary, the little mermaid looked at him, gave a soft "ah", and waited until the two cubs looked at him, then stretched out two palms and shook them.

"Come back in ten days?" The two cubs understood it, and immediately felt relieved.

Rong Heng glanced at the artificial mermaid, slightly satisfied.

Finally, the whole army was not wiped out, and there was a clever one.

After dinner, the person who came to pick up Rong Heng arrived.

The person was sent by Morrie, but in the name of Mr. Rong.

After Ruan Shiqing confirmed the other party's identity, he handed over the snowball and a small suitcase to the other party.

"When you get home, remember to report that you are safe." Ruan Shiqing rubbed the cub's head.

Rong Heng let out a soft "woo" and rubbed his hand again as farewell.

After returning to Feta Manor, he transformed back into human form, drove the shuttle away from star B3024, and headed straight for star Luso.

Star Luso is located in Syracuse in the Northeast Region, while Star B3024 is in the Central Administrative Region. There is an Augusta Region between them, spanning dozens of galaxies, and the distance is very far away.

After asking Noah to plan the nearest route, Rong Heng drove "Glory", increased the speed to the fastest, and began to pass through the jump passages one by one.

Some of these transition channels are artificially erected, and some are developed from natural wormholes.Most of the natural wormholes are not stable enough, and there are meteorites all over the interior. A little carelessness may lead to space accidents, which will test the driver's driving skills and reaction ability.

Rong Heng's attention was raised to the extreme, and after four days without sleep, he finally entered the Syracuse region.

After handing over the driving rights to Noah, Rong Heng went to rest in the rest cabin. Five hours later, Noah woke Rong Heng up and informed him that he was about to arrive at Lusuo Planet.

Star Luso is full of volcanoes, looking from the dark space, it is a fiery red planet.

The planet is surrounded by several space bases, many transport ships hover around, and countless shuttles come and go, transporting the mined ore to the transport ships.

After activating the cloaking device and changing the electronic identification code, Rong Heng easily mixed into the shuttle team and drove to the surface of Lusuo star.

There are almost no dragons living on Star Lusuo, 80.00% of the land here is being mined, and there are almost no other buildings on the ground except for large parking areas and warehouses.

After entering the atmosphere, Rong Heng broke away from the shuttle team and drove towards the other side.

The remaining 20.00% of the land on Luso is almost all dormant active volcanoes.

This is the burial ground of the Dragon Clan and the hatching place for the cubs of the Dragon Clan.Every dragon clan has an active volcano with its own signature.When they conceived a dragon egg and needed to hatch it, they would return to Luso Star and hatch the dragon egg with the help of the high temperature of the active volcano.

The dragon crystal that Hector mentioned is also hidden here.

According to the coordinates given by Hector, Rong Heng successfully found the volcano he signed.

Handing over the control of "Glory" to Noah, Rong Heng opened the hatch and jumped directly into the crater.

Inside the volcano, the lava is boiling and the temperature is scorching.

Amidst the thick smoke, Rong Heng climbed up the steep rock wall and found the hatching nest that Hector said - it was actually a space dug on the rock wall, the entrance was only about ten meters away, but after entering it was Discover something different.

Rong Heng didn't have time to learn about the hatching nest of the dragon clan. According to what Hector said, he quickly found the storage room and the box where the dragon crystal was stored.

The box was covered with dust, Rong Heng frowned and opened it, only to find that there was nothing inside.

???

After confirming again and again that the box was indeed empty and that there were no other boxes in the storage room, Rong Heng returned to the "Glory" with a sullen face.

After taking a quick shower to wash off the dust, he dialed Hector's communication again.

"Did you find the dragon crystal?"

"The box is empty."

The two spoke at the same time, and finally fell silent again.

"Empty?" Hector didn't believe it: "How could it be empty? The dragon crystal was indeed placed there, and I won't remember it wrong."

"That's being taken by someone else."

Rong Heng was in a very bad mood after running for nothing.

"Impossible." Hector said categorically: "I haven't touched those dragon crystals, plus...he can't possibly take them. Those development teams outside are forbidden to approach the hatching nest. There is no way to lose the dragon crystals."

"But in fact it just disappeared." Rong Heng squeezed the center of his eyebrows, cut off the communication, and made Noah prepare to return.

Hector sat back, unconsciously stroking his brain with his fingers.

He wanted to contact Garland to ask, but he hesitated when his finger touched the communication signal.

"It can't be him." He murmured.

When Garland left, he said that he would never come back here, nor would he be allowed to come back.

The hatching nest they dug out together has been sealed in dust for more than a hundred years.
