When Harry woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar swamp.

The swamp is covered with soft and rotten mud, dirty and smelly, and there is a strange dark green mist floating in the air.

Half of his body fell into the mud, and he was still sinking slowly.He fluttered in a panic, and the huge bat wings behind him pulled out from the mud, rolling up a lot of mud, covering his body and head.

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of mud, Harry noticed that his body had grown so big.

It was so big that he couldn't control it, so he could only stumble and trudge through the swamp step by step.

The body is too big and heavy, and every step he takes, he will sink very deep. It took a long time for Hurley to learn to move on the soft swampy ground with the support of bat wings, limbs and ground.

The area of ​​this swamp was very large, and Heli's front, back, left, and left were surrounded by endless swamps. He couldn't find his way at all, so he could only rely on instinct to find a place with high terrain.

After trekking for a whole day and night, he finally found a relatively solid high ground where he could barely shelter.

Panting heavily, he lay on the high ground, and the bat wings behind him were covered with mud and drooped weakly.

At this time, Hurley was dirty, tired and hungry.

He whimpered softly, with tears in his eyes.I want to go home, and I also want my father.

But the brain that woke up clearly recalled what happened the night before.

Not only did he not listen to his father's words, secretly ate all the gems, but he also tore down the house after his body grew bigger.

The broken scene dangled in front of his eyes, Harry sniffed, and big tears fell down.

Sad and scared.

When he was still a little dragon cub, he always hoped that he would grow up quickly and become a majestic dragon.But now that he has really grown into a big dragon, he is not happy at all.

Growing up is really sad for the dragon.

He wants to change back to his old self, to go back to his father, and never to grow up again.

Ruan Shiqing dragged the second-hand land speeder he bought back to Feta Manor.

This second-hand land speeder was taken back by him and planned to be refitted, but because there were too many things to do, he hadn't been able to spare it, and now it just came in handy.

He called the Xiong brothers and 09 to help, and began to dismantle the land speeder.

Ordinary land speeders can only move forward on flat ground. If they change to some special terrains, such as deserts, swamps, etc., they cannot maintain normal driving.Taking the swamp as an example, if Ruan Shiqing drove an ordinary land speeder into it, within an hour, the engine of the land speeder would stop working because it would be blocked by a large amount of mud.

In order to facilitate access to these special places, both Naxi Company and Quark Dockyard have produced special desert land speeders and swamp land speeders.

However, the number of these special-purpose land speeders is relatively small, and there are none on the B3024 star.So he can only modify it himself, changing the ordinary land speeder into a swamp land speeder, so that he can enter the Lost Swamp to find Heli.

He disassembled the engine at the bottom of the land speeder, leaving only the anti-gravity device, and sealed the chassis; then found a turbine, removed the fan in the turbine, and installed it at the stern of the speeder as a The propulsion power of the swamp speeder.

The turbofan is connected with the fuel chamber and the control system, and the purpose of controlling the speed of the land speeder is achieved by changing the fuel distribution method and the fan speed.

To solve the core power problem, it is necessary to install fenders, seal and strengthen the cockpit, increase oxygen filtration devices, and so on.

When the rush work was completed, another night had passed.

It was just dawning, two moons were sinking below the horizon, and in an hour the sun would rise.

Ruan Shiqing prepared all the necessary items, entered the cockpit, and said goodbye to the others.

Mori is still trying to persuade: "Why don't you wait a little longer, Mr. Rong heard that something happened to you, and he has rushed back as much as possible. It would be safer if Mr. Rong was here."

When Ruan Shiqing insisted on entering the Lost Swamp, Mori contacted Rong Heng.

After Rong Heng heard the news, he was already rushing back with all his strength.

But Ruan Shiqing didn't dare to delay for a moment. He didn't know if Heli, who lost his mind, would hurt him; I really entered the Lost Swamp, could I be in danger...

He worried too much, and he didn't dare to waste a single minute.

"The land speeder is equipped with communication and positioning devices. If Heli is found, or if I am in danger, a signal will be sent back."

The past few days have been turbulent, thanks to Marin's relentless help, Ruan Shiqing's expression eased, and he said sincerely: "I understand your worry, but I can't afford to wait."

After speaking, he waved his hand, lowered the protective cover, and the land speeder galloped out.

Calling up the map navigation, Ruan Shiqing headed west all the way.

About the west is close to the Lost Swamp, the further west you go, the more desolate the surrounding area becomes.

Unlike the barrenness of the outer city, which is full of metal garbage, this place is dead and silent.On the land overgrown with weeds, not to mention the sight of people, not even a sound of insects can be heard.

The silence is terrifying.

In the dead silence, Ruan Shiqing drove for four hours before finally approaching the edge of the Lost Swamp.

Looking from a distance, there is a strange dark green mist shrouded in the uninhabited land over there.

Ruan Shiqing slowed down, turned on the headlights, detection device, and oxygen filter device, and then carefully drove into the range of green mist.

The land speeder cut through the mist and moved forward slowly.The detection device continuously sent back environmental analysis data, and Ruan Shiqing looked at the displayed data with a more serious expression.Marin was right, this swamp was very dangerous.

In general swamps, ecological species are very rich, and all kinds of plants and animals live in swamps.But in this area, apart from the thick dark green moss, there is no sign of life.

According to the analysis of air components, the dark green mist contains a small amount of toxin that can paralyze biological nerves.If it's just hovering around the edges, the toxin won't have any effect.But if you go deep into it and inhale excessive toxins, the human body will gradually fall into a state of paralysis.

In such a situation, one can imagine the result of paralysis of the senses and body.

At this time, Ruan Shiqing didn't want to find any trace of Heli here.

Because of the mist, the light here is very dim, and the headlights illuminate the surroundings alternately. Ruan Shiqing pays close attention to the screen, looking for traces of Heli - given Heli's huge size now, if he really came Lost in the swamp, there will be traces.

After lying on the high ground for an unknown how long, Harry opened his eyes in a daze.

It's getting darker here.

My stomach is also growling with hunger.

Rubbing his belly that kept protesting, Hurley looked around, hesitated for a moment, and chose a direction to the right, ready to see if he could find something to eat.But as soon as the claws stepped out, they sank deep into the mud.

The momentary sense of weightlessness made him pull out his claws in panic, and he fell to the ground in shock.

This swamp seemed to be deeper than when he came.When the claws sank just now, he almost couldn't pull them out.

Sitting dejectedly on the only high ground, Harry roared angrily.

The sound of the dragon roar is extremely penetrating.

Ruan Shiqing keenly caught the faint sound of the dragon chant coming from a distance, and her heart beat fast.

He has been in the swamp for a day, from the dark to the darkening hour.The land speeder passed a tenth of the swamp without finding any trace.The dead and suffocating environment made people feel agitated, and Ruan Shiqing could barely maintain his composure by giving himself psychological hints.

This dragon chant sound is like a booster.

He pulled himself together, increased his driving speed, and rushed in the direction where the voice came from just now.

The further you go in, the thicker the green mist becomes.

The moss-covered swamp may at first glance seem lively, but if you look closely, you'll find animal carcasses strewn across it.Ruan Shiqing even saw many human skeletons.

His heart was getting heavier.

After walking forward for another half an hour, it was completely dark.

The light of the artificial moon barely leaked a glimmer of light from the fog, and Ruan Shiqing could only rely on the light of the headlights to move forward.

The speeder eventually stopped in a low-lying area.

Within the scope of the headlights, you can see that this low-lying area is full of signs of struggle, as if some huge creature has struggled here.Ruan Shiqing walked along the trace and saw vague footprints again.

The swamp is fluid, and the footprints left behind are already quite blurred, but Ruan Shiqing compared the size, and it is almost certain that they are the footprints left by Heli.

——He once fell into the swamp, and after struggling to get up, he left with difficulty.

The dragon roar heard just now was most likely made by Heli, and it was not his illusion.

Ruan Shiqing followed the footprints left behind and searched all the way forward.

Harry lay weakly on the high ground.

Because of hunger, the strength in his body seemed to be gradually losing. He tried to flap the huge bat wings, but he could barely lift them up and flap them twice, and then drooped down limply.

The mud stained on his body had already dried up, and with the shaking of the bat wings, mud and dust fell all over his body.

Woo.

Very hungry.

He hummed a few times in pain, and kicked his paws on the ground indiscriminately to vent his anger.When he saw his dirty body covered in mud, he was stunned again.

Moyu's smooth and moist scales became gray and dull because of the mud.The gaps in the scales are filled with green moss and mud, his current appearance must be very ugly.

He lowered his head again, raised his nose and sniffed, only to be suffocated by the unspeakable stench.

vomit.

So smelly.

Harry shook his head crazily unbearably, and felt even more sad at the same time.

When he was at home, the little dragon cub had never been hungry, nor had he been so dirty.

He is no longer Daddy's beautiful little dragon cub.

Harry lowered his eyes sadly, and wanted to cry again.

He belatedly realizes a problem, he can't leave here, and he can't go home again, no one likes an ugly and smelly dragon.

And he also broke the house.

The very sad little dragon cub lay down on the high ground in despair, staring at the looming moon in the mist with his eyes wide open.

Suddenly, his ears caught a familiar call.

"Herry, Harry."

It's Dad's voice, Dad is coming for him!

The excited little dragon cub got up all of a sudden, tried to stand up straight, and looked around earnestly.

He is tall now, and he can see far. Sure enough, he saw a small cluster of faint lights in the distance, which came from a land speeder.

It must be dad!

Just as he was about to respond, the little dragon cub noticed his dirty paws again.

The response that reached the side of the throat swallowed hesitantly.He stretched out his claws and took a look. The scales were pitch black, and the hooks were curved and sharp. It looked extremely hideous, not as round and cute as before.

When his father cut his nails before, he praised his cute claws.

But now, not only is it not cute at all.

Still ugly.

Harry pouted sadly.

If dad sees him now, will he stop liking him, or even be afraid of him?

Messy thoughts lingered in the little dragon cub's mind, courage dissipated, replaced by fear.

Not only did he not respond to his father's call, but he shrank his body and hid in the swamp hesitantly.

Xiaolong cub is holding a little luck, or he can quietly follow his father out of here, and then clean himself up a bit.Be nice and go home.

That way it won't scare Dad.

Ruan Shiqing followed the remaining traces of the swamp and found a high ground.

This highland should have been a hillside once, and after being swallowed up by the swamp, only the towering top was still exposed.There is no grass growing on it, only a solitary dead tree stands upright, with a strange posture.

The traces of tracking were cut off at the highlands, and there were still traces of activities around the highlands, indicating that Heli had at least stayed here.

But now there is no sign here, Ruan Shiqing is not sure whether Heli flew away after taking a rest, or if there was an accident here.

After a little hesitation, Ruan Shiqing drove the speeder up to the high ground, put on a gas mask, put on protective clothing, and carefully left the speeder.

He checked the high ground first, and then noticed the paw prints left on the dead tree, and he became more and more sure that Hurley must have stayed here before.

He turned on the loudspeaker worn on his waist and played the audio - this was the audio he had recorded in advance, calling out Herry's name over and over again.

Dragons have keen hearing and might be able to hear his voice.

Hidden in the swamp, Heli held his breath and carefully pawed at the firm soil on the edge of the high ground to prevent himself from sinking completely.

He heard the voice of his father calling him, and couldn't help sniffing sadly, but he forgot that he was sinking in the mud, and caught off guard and inhaled the mud in his nasal cavity.

! ! ! !

The unpleasant smell of the swamp made him unable to hold his breath any longer, and he coughed non-stop.

Ruan Shiqing was startled by the sudden sound, quickly pulled out the blaster gun on his waist and turned around, and saw the huge black dragon thumping in the mud, throwing mud everywhere.

"..."

He put down his gun, looked closer, and recognized the muddy, dirty creature: "Hurley?"

Harry's body froze, he lowered his eyes and dared not look at him.

Ruan Shiqing didn't bother to ask him why he was in the mud, strode forward and stretched out his hand to him: "Come up quickly."

Harry quietly raised his eyes to glance at him, seeing his eagerness, he cautiously stretched out his paws.

The sharp black claws were much bigger than Ruan Shiqing's hands.He didn't even dare to hold his father's hand, for fear that his claws would accidentally scratch him.

Ruan Shiqing didn't care about this, he grabbed Heli's paw with both hands, and asked, "Can I come up?"

If not, he can only use the land speeder to pull him up.

Hurley nodded, let out a low "woo", and scrambled up to the high ground by himself.

He was very remorseful now, he still didn't dare to look at his father directly, and the whole dragon shrank together, wishing he could get under the ground.

He doesn't need to smell it carefully, he already knows how dirty and smelly he is, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't be hiding in the mud.

Seeing his appearance, Ruan Shiqing was angry and funny.At this moment, he also recalled that since Hurley had been here all this time, he must have heard his voice before.

In the end, he didn't respond to him, but instead appeared in the mud, obviously trying to hide from him.

"It's promising." Ruan Shiqing snorted, sat down beside him, and patted his paw again angrily: "I'll settle the score with you when I get home."

The little dragon cub looked at him sideways, and asked cautiously, "I, can I go home?"

Ruan Shiqing raised his face: "You still know you want to go home?"

The little dragon cub immediately lowered his head guiltily.

He wanted to go home a long time ago.

Seeing his appearance, Ruan Shiqing softened his heart again, he slowed down his tone, and held the little dragon cub's dirty claws: "No matter what you become, you are still Dad's Heli, Dad will not want you of."

The little dragon cub sniffed, closed his paws, and held his father's hand weakly.

"Can I still fly now?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

Hurley shook his head, and the bat wings behind him fluttered wildly twice, very disorganized.It was all instinctive to be able to walk so far in the swamp before.Now that he was hungry and his father was relying on him, the little dragon cub didn't even want to move, if it wasn't for his size, he would have already slipped into his father's arms.

"Then it looks like we have to wait for rescue here." Ruan Shiqing said.

Leaving the little boy here alone to ask for help, he was always worried that there would be another accident.So he could only send a message to Marin, telling him that he had found Heli and sent a location, and asked him to send someone to the Lost Swamp to respond.

Ruan Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Ma Lin's reply that "he will come right away".

Ruan Shiqing originally wanted to put another oxygen supply device off the land speeder for the little dragon cub.As a result, the current dragon cub is too big.It doesn't fit the oxygen mask.He could only remove the mask.Let him breathe directly through the oxygen hose.

Although the toxin here seems to have no effect on the little dragon cubs, it's still good to be on the safe side.

After doing all this, Ruan Shiqing sat down next to the little dragon cub with a small signal transmitter in his hand.

"Wait a little longer, Uncle Marin will come to pick us up soon."

Harry obediently held the hose in his mouth, and gave a low "hmm".

They have gone deep into the center of the Lost Swamp. Although they have a location, it will take some time for Marin to find them.Ruan Shiqing was still talking to the little dragon cub at first, but after half an hour passed, his voice gradually lowered, and he fell asleep leaning against the little dragon cub exhaustedly.

From the disappearance of the dragon cub to the discovery of the Lost Swamp, there was an interval of almost six days.During this period, he hardly closed his eyes, relying on mental potions to forcefully stay awake.

After finding Heli, he didn't continue to replenish the potion, and a strong sense of exhaustion surged up, causing him to quickly fall into a deep sleep.

Harry froze, not daring to move, for fear of waking him up.

The little dragon cub lowered his head, only to notice the heavy shadow under his father's eyes.

He moved his claws uneasily, feeling extremely guilty.

At this time, the sky began to rain again, and the green mist became thicker, and even the rain was stained with green.

Remembering that his father said that the green mist was poisonous, the little dragon cub raised his bat wings nervously to block the top of his father, isolating the green rainwater.

The rain was getting heavier, but the little dragon cub tried his best to isolate a small dry world with his bat wings.

Ruan Shiqing, who was leaning against him, slept soundly without being splashed by the rain.

Morris was worried after thinking about it, and led his men to guard the edge of the Lost Swamp for a whole day.

In the evening, Rong Heng, who hurried back in his "Glory", also arrived. He wanted to go in immediately to look for Ruan Shiqing, but was stopped by Mori.

The Lost Swamp is too big, if they rush in to find someone, what if they miss the signal sent by Ruan Shiqing instead?

Ruan Shiqing's swamp flying boat is equipped with complete communication and positioning devices, but the signal in the lost swamp is very weak, and they cannot perform real-time positioning and tracking, but as long as Ruan Shiqing sends signals continuously somewhere, they can be sure to receive them. message.

So their best choice at present is to passively wait for Ruan Shiqing to send back a message.

Rationally, Rong Heng knew that what he said was reasonable, but his restlessness still couldn't calm him down.

He sat motionless in front of the monitor, his eyes fixed on the screen for a moment, his body tensed, like a beast desperately suppressing his emotions, as if he would explode in the next second.

Morrie had never seen him so restless.

Even when encountering a swarm of insects, His Highness will always remain calm and calm.He never seems to panic and fear, and always leads them to a way out from the desperate situation.

But now the other party's anxiety is so undisguised.

Even when the communication device responded, he was the first to rush into the Lost Swamp.

Morrie then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the message on the screen.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

In the message sent back, Ruan Shiqing explained his situation and sent back the location.

Rong Heng drove Rong Guang and searched all the way according to the location sent, Mori followed closely behind.

It was raining in the swamp, which greatly disturbed the line of sight.

They didn't dare to fly too high, so they could only slow down and try to keep flying at a low altitude.

Rong Heng was the first to spot the figure on the high ground.

Letting Noah take over "Glory", Rong Heng opened the hatch, jumped from the sky without hesitation, and landed smoothly.

On the high ground, the dirty black dragon propped up one bat wing, carefully shielding the people beside it from the rain.His eyes lit up when he saw him coming.

"What's wrong with him?" Rong Heng approached with a solemn expression.

Harry whispered, "Dad is too tired and fell asleep."

It turned out that he was just asleep.

Rong Heng breathed a sigh of relief, lightly hugged him up, and said to the dragon cub: "Wait for me here, I'll send him up first."

Harry obediently said "Oh", slowly put away his stiff and sour bat wings, and squatted on the spot, extremely obedient.

Facing such a dirty dragon cub, Rong Heng snorted, but his eyes softened.

It's silly, but at least it's not annoying.

He handed Ruan Shiqing to Mori who arrived later: "You take him back in the glory, and then find a doctor to examine him."

"What about you?" Mori ordered Ruan Shiqing to be sent to the rest cabin to be settled.

"I'll get the bottom one back." Rong Heng snorted: "You can't let you tie him up with a rope and hang him out. Remember to take all your people away."

Mori understood what he meant, and transferred to "Glory" by himself, leading the people away first.

Rong Heng stayed on the high ground.

When Mo Li and the others were far away, he looked at the timid dragon cub, and said in a fierce tone: "I will carry you back, but in exchange, you have to keep a secret for me, understand?"

?

Although he didn't understand what secret to keep, Harry still nodded in confusion.

Only then was Rong Heng satisfied, and slowly unbuttoned his clothes, turning back into a complete animal form—the adult body of Umir.
