The Universe's First Hide and Seek

Li Chen felt that his guess was correct.

——Dragon Clan is really invincible in both galaxies! ! !

Even if the Border Patrol escort flew for a while, it stopped temporarily at a planet for supplies, and the planet actually sent a welcome signal.Look at the gorgeous light effects and dragon logos that lit up all the three-dimensional display screens in the airport, and look at the gorgeous fireworks rising in the sky. When Saenz explained to him that this was a welcome to the dragons, Li Chen was shocked.

Probably because Li Chen’s shock and doubts were too obvious, Saenz said again: “The planets in the Dragon Clan’s territory have very rare mineral deposits, vegetation, and creatures, and the Dragon Clan uses a combination of magic and technology to hide and protect these resources. No With the cooperation of the dragon race, it is difficult for other races to obtain these things. Moreover, the dragon race has a high level of ability to manipulate spiritual power because of their magical talents. If other races want to learn, they naturally have to put on a friendly attitude."

He said it lightly, but Li Chen could see a thing or two from it.

It sounds like the Dragon Clan is extremely rich in resources.In other words, the force value of the dragon clan should be very high, otherwise these resources cannot be kept.After all, if the combat power is not strong, what you are facing is not a friendly exchange, but a forcible plunder.

And the power of the dragon clan is actually a "combination of magic and technology"...?

The magic of the dragon clan is powerful, and this Li Chen understands that any kind of magic of the legendary dragon clan is at the top level.Li Chen had been a human-dragon hybrid before, and he also has a deep understanding of this.But if the "technology" is also very powerful... So the so-called hidden world of the Dragon Clan before, shouldn't it mean that they do not communicate with the outside world at all?

In addition, I don't know how rich the so-called "resources are rich".After all, this is the interstellar era, and it cannot be measured by the so-called "rich" standard of a single earth in the past.If the dragon clan only lived on one planet, the so-called "abundant resources" would not count as much for the entire galaxy... right?

Also, how is the financial system of Dragon Clan?If it is not sound, it will be vulnerable to shocks after opening up; if it is not open, it will not be able to form trade...

The little dragon cub was immersed in his own thoughts like this, and Saenz couldn't figure out what this kid was thinking.Binglong just picked up a piece of snacks just sent by the tribe and stuffed it into Xiaolong's mouth: "Do you like this?"

Li Chen came back to his senses, chewed, chewed, and swallowed: "Oh!"

"Like it? Then ask them to buy more." Saenz said, "This is a special snack on this planet. If you really like it, you can buy it regularly in the future."

Li Chen licked his fingers.

Saenz thought he was urging him to feed him again, so he fed him another piece.Li Chen was afraid that the debris would fall on the ice dragon, so he adjusted his posture for a long time, Saenz urged: "Open your mouth and eat it, what's the trouble?"

Li Chen said in his heart that he would still criticize me for your own good. It is really hard to live without speaking.

I don't know how Saenz could see the depression of the little boy from the dragon's face. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed the reason for the boy's instant grievance.He smiled, and stuffed some snacks into Xiaolong's mouth: "Just drop it and sweep it away, don't worry, it's not like I can't move."

Li Chen chewed his snacks: Isn't that Meila and the others saying that you have a cleanliness all day long, so I can avoid stepping on mine?

Of course, Meera would not say such things in front of Saenz, nor would she specifically use the federal language to speak to Li Chen.This is what she whispered to other clansmen in the language of the dragon clan when she occasionally took Lichen with her.Li Chen's dragon language is not proficient, but with the language environment and the teaching of Saenz, relying on the context, he even guessed the meaning of "cleanliness".

Now a person who is generally considered to be a clean freak...Long, can actually tolerate the residue of snacks falling on his body, Li Chen is really surprised.

But looking back, many parents who were originally obsessed with cleanliness can also improve their endurance when raising their children.What's more, the ice dragon may be Li Chen's object, and Li Chen feels that his object has no cleanliness.If someone says he has a cleanliness fetish, it is probably because he usually looks too glorious and noble, making others think that he should be spotless.

But now, Saenz not only hugged the dragon cub to feed him snacks, but also deliberately rubbed Li Chen's face when he was chewing snacks.In order not to be squeezed out for food, Li Chen kept pushing away Saenz's hand with his little paw, and then the paw was pinched again.

At this time, Li Chen will deeply suspect that Saenz is really his object.

——Sure enough, he is a guy who has a special obsession with dragon cubs!

——It feels like the day when I get crushed is not far away!

All in all, Li Chen finished his snacks on the ice dragon's lap with difficulty.

After eating, Saenz wiped his mouth and paws clean and placed him on the podium.Then I stood up by myself, patted it, and let the cleaning intelligence come over to clean it up, and that was the end.

The three drivers in the cab looked at each other for a while, and then opened the group without the patriarch in unison.

[The patriarch just held the little dragon cub, fed the snacks, and finally wiped his mouth and hands before cleaning up the residue on his body:)]

Everyone else replied "?!?!?!", only Meera looked like everyone was drunk and I was sober: [Oh, it's rare to see. 】

***

The spaceship sailed for another few weeks, and finally arrived at the planet where the Dragon Clan's territory was located.

Li Chen looked at the planet outside the window for a long time.After such a long voyage, Li Chen has long been tired of looking at the stars in the universe, and only when he encounters a particularly bright one will he take a closer look.As for the planet where the Dragon Clan is located, one can tell at a glance that the ocean is very wide, giving him a feeling of "earth".

Then, the spacecraft passed through the atmosphere, passed through the clouds, and fell to the earth.

At this time, the sense of weightlessness is a bit strong, and other adult dragons don't care, but Li Chen stays in Saenz's arms, which is equivalent to a "dragon body safety belt".

He pretended to point at Saenz's podium, and slowly typed a phrase for the ice dragon: "It's been a long journey."

This expression is a bit ambiguous, but Saenz knew that he was talking about the journey from Planet X to the territory of the Dragon Clan, which took too long, so he explained: "Your body is not strong enough, otherwise we can jump through the wormhole The—the wormhole we walked through when we went to pick you up."

Li Chen: ...All right, it's my own fault for co-authoring.

"After you return to the clan, I will slowly adjust your body." Saenz comforted, "When your body is about the same as that of your peers, I will find a way to arrange for you to practice the fire dragon. At that time, your ability It will be greatly improved. Your magic power and ability to control space will increase, so you don’t have to envy the space abilities of other clansmen.”

It was only then that Li Chen realized that Saenz had noticed that he was often curious about the space abilities of other dragons.

— Tsk, the one who looks more and more like me... He is observant and has a clear mind.

——If it's true, I'd still earn some impression points now, so as not to be dealt with too badly when I lose my vest...

So, the little dragon cub, who had been "dominating" the ice dragon for several months, rubbed the ice dragon's chin flatteringly, and even licked it.

Saenz is used to being rubbed, it’s all trivial, and the little dragon cub bites him when he loses his temper--Saenz will be bitten when he ravages too much--so he just patted the little dragon in response She hugged him and stood up.

As a result, the dozens of Dragon Clan who came to welcome them saw the "legendary scene".

——The patriarch actually hugged Xiaolong!

—and let him grab his hair!

Probably the dragons were too shocked, those dozens of pairs of eyes looking over, coupled with the undisguised coercion of the dragons, immediately stimulated Li Chen.He had a mature soul and was not prone to stress reactions.But under the heavy pressure of the feeling of coercion, the dragon's instinct emerged in an instant, just like when the dragon's family went to pick him up before, he couldn't help but fly up.

But right now, Li Chen's nerves tensed involuntarily.Although he was still lying on Saenz's shoulder, his little wings had already opened, and his eyes began to have a vertical pupil reaction.The gurgling sound rolled in his throat, which Saenz could hear clearly.If this is a furry animal, it will definitely be fried.

Saenz noticed his movements, hugged him down and patted him, then swept towards the clansmen in front of him: "Restrain yourself, this is just a child who was born a few months ago."

The Dragon Clan suddenly realized, and quickly withdrew their coercion.

"Then, let me introduce, this is our clansman living outside, Li Chen." Saenz flipped the little dragon cub over and turned to the clansman, "Currently there is only one fire dragon in the clan.

"No matter what crimes or rumors some fire dragons have committed before, it has nothing to do with him.

"Love him like every cub in the clan, care for him, guard his growth, and treat him equally—understand?"

"Understood!" In fact, Saenz didn't say anything, the members of the Dragon Clan would follow their instincts to protect this child who lost his parents.

The tradition of the Dragon Clan is to love and care for the cubs.

Although he "fried meat with bamboo shoots" to his own brat every day, others can't bully him at all!

After responding to Saenz, the dragon clan who led the team to pick him up remembered that he hadn't saluted yet, so he took the lead and bowed his head.

"welcome back!"

***

Although the Dragon Clan can be regarded as the ruler of this planet, their number is actually not very large, and their settlements are scattered in many places.

And the largest settlement is the location of the dragon patriarch Saenz.

It is said that they live together, but in fact they do not live close to each other.The dragon clan is a kind of orc with a strong sense of territory. Unless the relationship is very close, they seldom share the territory.And the greater the ability, the greater the territory it occupies.In other words, the current top 1 of the Dragon Clan—Ice Dragon Patriarch Saenz—has the largest territory.

His territory is vast, and his specific place of residence is located in a very tall mountain.Although it is not as high as a snow mountain, but because of the terrain, the mountain is very cool.Moreover, it is said to be a "home", but it did not actually build a house, but placed a "nest" in a very huge cave.With the temperature of the mountains and the effect of the cave, this nest can be said to be very cool.However, in the severe winter season, the cold air can't be poured in directly, so it becomes warmer here instead.

This cave is so habitable that only one ice dragon has occupied it for hundreds of years, and other dragons will only occasionally show up here because they are looking for ice dragons.Today, we finally ushered in the second resident who wants to stay overnight.

As soon as Li Chen followed the ice dragon into the entrance of the cave, he saw an unnaturally large pile of black sand and stones piled up at the entrance of the cave.

This hole is actually very big, Saenz's standard dragon form can walk in with its wings folded, and the reduced dragon form can even fly in directly.But even with such a big hole, Li Chen could see the strangeness of those sandstones, so he took a closer look.

Sniffing again, I always feel a familiar smell.

Seeing him always looking around, Saenz smiled: "Did you feel it? That's your bed."

His voice was not high, but there were some echoes in the empty cave.Li Chen was about to fly to the sand and rocks to have a closer look, when Meera who followed him asked, "Clan leader, do you need us to help settle these volcanic rocks?"

They came with the intention of dealing with these volcanic rocks, either taking them away or moving them into Saenz's lair.But Saenz said: "No, I will do it myself."

Meera: "Yes."

Saenz said again: "All the fellow clansmen rest for three days, and notify the elders to gather at the meeting place in three days."

"Yes." Mela paused and asked, "Is it to discuss Li Chen's official ownership...?"

"Well. There is always such a procedure." Saenz said, "You ask the elders to prepare for the adoption ceremony, and I guess it will be decided on the spot."

"Understood." After finishing speaking, Meera took her clansmen and prepared to leave. Before she left, she said to Li Chen, "Bring my son to play with you someday."

Li Chen nodded.

After all the clansmen left, Saenz took the little dragon and walked deep into the cave.As for those volcanic rocks with a sense of disobedience, no one paid attention to them for the time being.

"Let's go and see your new home."
