The Universe's First Hide and Seek

Meera slept through the night with her two cubs and nothing happened.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Meera continued to teach the two children about things in the jungle, and did some skill exercises while having fun.One of them is mountain climbing.

Li Chen: ...the sun comes out to climb the hillside, what kind of morning exercise life is this for the elderly?

And for mountain climbing, if Mela turns into a dragon and flies upwards, she will reach it without flapping her wings a few times.Fortunately, Meera didn't use this kind of cheating method, and walked up step by step with humanoid feet, which was equivalent to accompanying Li Chen.Jude was flying above the canopy of the tree, wandering around in his free time, coming back from time to time to see where the two of them were going under the tree, and then flew away again.

After walking like this for more than half an hour, I finally reached the top of the mountain.

The scenery on the top of the mountain is good, with green forests and rolling mountains as far as the eye can see.The level of science and technology of the dragon people is not low, but the ability to maintain this primitive forest style depends on the small number of dragon people and the low degree of settlement.However, the small number of people does not mean that these places are unattended.In fact, Li Chen has already seen no less than two dragons' territory, but the boundaries of the territory are very blurred, except for the owner of the territory, other people can't tell where they are.

Well, in fact, the owner of the territory may not be able to tell the difference.

Although it is someone else's territory, after all, the lords on this large piece of land know each other, maybe they are colleagues in the same place, so if they come out to hang out and have fun, the owner of the territory will not take care of them.

Li Chen turned around slowly on the top of the mountain, looking from a distance, and finally stopped in one direction.

In the distance in this direction, there is a mountain pass that is emitting billowing black smoke.

"That's a volcano, it's called Gulong Volcano." Mela thought to herself that a baby of a few months probably doesn't know about volcanoes yet, pointing and explaining, "There is very hot magma in the volcano, it's red, and it erupts. Such black smoke will come out when the volcano is destroyed, and it will flow outside and burn the vegetation. But the volcanic ash that is ejected together is a good cultivation soil, so the vegetation on the volcano can be easily restored after being destroyed. By the way, your bed It’s also the volcanic rocks and volcanic ash transported by that volcano.”

Li Chen said in his heart that you don't know, my current bed is Saenz's bed, and the volcanic ash and volcanic rocks have been scattered nearby to feed the plants.

Meera said again: "The temperature at the core of the volcano is so high that even adults like us cannot easily approach it. Only a fire dragon like you can come and go freely, and you can also absorb the energy of the volcano. After a while, the patriarch will Take you to the volcano, and then you can see it inside the volcano."

Heilong didn't know how much the patriarch had said to the children, and he was afraid that what he said would be wrong, so he only said that the patriarch would bring him when he grew up.In fact, after taking the medicine and taking good care of your body, you will be able to come.

Li Chen silently glanced at Jude.

Jude looked at him too.

Obviously, the goal of today's run is there.

But Jude also knew to keep his face, and followed down the mountain without saying anything.After playing in the forest for a while, Jude finally said: "It's boring, I don't want to play anymore. Mom, let's play chase."

Meera said: "'Chase'? Hide and seek?"

"Anyway, that's what it means." Jude jumped up and down, "Yesterday was too late, we didn't run very far, and today we will be able to run farther and hide!"

"Yesterday you thought that hiding in the waterfall would be able to block your smell with water, but you failed, so you want to try another trick today?" Meera raised her eyebrows, "It's okay to play, let's try what you came up with Conceal your tricks. But one thing, you have to take Li Chen well and don't leave him behind."

"I promise!" Jude said, "If I throw him, hit me!"

"What's the matter with you, have you been punished?" Meera said, "If you throw him away, you will go back and memorize ten dragon epics, do you understand?"

"...Uh, okay." Jude pouted.Anyway, it's fine if you don't leave Li Chen behind, even if you run to the volcano, wouldn't you still go with Li Chen by yourself?

Jude said again: "Then shall we go?"

Meera waved her hand: "Let's go. I'll give you half an hour to hide."

"No, you fly so fast, Lichen's little wings can't go far in half an hour." Jude said, "One and a half hours!"

"One hour, just play if you want to play, and you will fall down if you don't play."

"...Okay then." Jude vacated first, "Li Chen, come here!"

Li Chen followed.

The volcano is in the southeast, but Jude chose the southwest, and quickly flew away with Li Chen.

Meera watched them go away, smiled, turned on the communicator to check the time, and then played a game.She is not afraid that she will not be able to find her son, after all, the flying distance of cubs in an hour is limited.No matter how bad it is, you can also turn on the personal positioning function of the communicator, and you will definitely be able to find it.

However, don't play tricks at the beginning, otherwise the trust between parents and children will be affected.

***

Jude flew with Li Chen for seven or eight minutes, looked back at the place where he started, and landed with Li Chen.

He casually kicked the fallen leaves on the ground, took a breath, then turned his head and said to Chen: "Come on me."

Li Chen climbed up as he said.

"...You look at the little one, it's really not light." Jude is also a small dragon, and his speed is obviously affected by the weight of Li Chen's flight, but Li Chen's little wings may not be able to fly to the volcano area within an hour.In order to rush over, Jude had to train with weights.

After listening to his complaints, Li Chen deliberately hugged his neck tightly: "Hey!"

"Loosen it! Just don't fall!" Jude was almost strangled by him.After a little more relaxation, the little black dragon finally flew up.

"Sit tight, we're going to rush over!"

"Hey!"

***

At the same time, Saenz, who was sitting in the office, was taking advantage of the short break to continue watching the video recorded by Li Chen when he was in Sijigui Orphanage.

Originally, Saenz would not race against the clock like this. He would watch it intermittently, and he had already watched a lot.But he watched it all night last night, and saw the second half without any details.Although it was just a very daily video, for some reason, he just wanted to watch it all the time, which was exactly the same as the barrage of these videos on the star network said - "I can watch it".

Fortunately, Saenz is a giant dragon, so it is not a big problem to stay up all night, otherwise today's regular meeting might be a distraction.

But now, with a rare gap between work, Saenz couldn't help but click on the video of the little dragon cub again.

He doesn't skip, doesn't fast-forward, and doesn't even play it as BGM and then go do his own thing.He just sat fixedly on the chair, looking at the projected image of the little dragon.Occasionally, when the little dragon does something funny or cute, the ice dragon will show a little bewildered smile.

Now, he had finished watching the video of Song Lin being taken away by the police, and was about to watch the video of the next morning when his assistant sent a message.

[The video communication you agreed with the Crown Prince of the XX Empire will start in 3 minutes. 】

Saenz turned off the video.

The video communication shouldn't be long, so let's continue watching it during our lunch break.

After get off work at night, it's time to pick up the little things.

***

Jude is worthy of being the black dragon with the best physical fitness. After four or ten minutes, he has already reached the foot of the volcano.

He looked up at the dark clouds formed by the black smoke above, and said, "I rushed up directly. If it goes well, I can rush up to see the situation, but how long we can stay depends on how soon my mother can catch us .”

After all, Jude didn't wait for Li Chen's response, luckily, he spread his wings and rushed up!

The foothills are filled with smoke and dust from volcanic eruptions, and the smell of sulfur fills the nose.Li Chen lay on Jude's body, looking in the direction of the top of the mountain, his originally dispensable attitude towards the summit changed quietly.

——I always feel that... there is something there, silently waiting for me...

***

The lunch break came soon, and Saenz turned on the video, feeling a little impatient.

As soon as it was opened, there was a picture of Lichen being held in Hu Yulian's arms and reading a book with her.

Saenz raised an eyebrow.

——Forget it, Song Lin is the one who hatched the little dragon cub after all, and the little dragon cub really likes to cling to him.This Hu Yulian likes to appear next to the little cub very much. Does she want to be photographed and become famous through the little dragon cub?

——Speaking of which, this woman seems to be implicated in the crime of treason, so she shouldn't be able to make any trouble now, right?

The scene of Hu Yulian holding the child reading a book lasted for a while.She was actually very patient when she was reading to Li Chen, and objectively speaking, her voice was quite gentle, but Li Chen always felt that he lacked interest.Others may think that Li Chen may not be interested in listening to books, but Sarns is deeply moved and quickly understands that it is because these books are too simple for the little dragon cub, and he has already heard them, so he is not interested.

Suddenly, there was movement from the direction of the gate of the orphanage. Hu Yulian glanced at it and said, "Ah, it's the public interest lawyer in charge of our orphanage... because of Song Lin's matter?"

At this time, it was determined that Lichen would be prosecuted in a very short time, so the public interest lawyer visited the orphanage the next morning.Li Chen stared blankly at the two people walking inside, watched them walk into the building where the dean's office was located, and suddenly climbed off Hu Yulian's lap.

He picked up the colored pencils and paper, grabbed the colored pencils with his little paws, and began to draw on the ground.

Hu Yulian followed, and at first she was not standing very close, and standing opposite Li Chen, she couldn't quite tell what he was painting.At first glance, it seems that what Li Chen draws on the paper are all messy lines, crooked, as if he was just drawing casually.But Hu Yulian still squatted down to encourage the little dragon cub who was "drawing a ghost".

"What are you drawing, can you tell the teacher?"

Li Chen ignored him and continued to draw lines randomly.The sun is not like the sun, the flowers are not like flowers, the lines are not smooth and all kinds of trembling.But when he was halfway through the first pattern, Saenz squinted and suddenly changed the angle of the video.

He turned to the same perspective as Li Chen, his eyes fell on the first figure Li Chen completed one stroke at a time, and his mind suddenly buzzed.

No one else knows this pattern, but Saenz knows it!

--This is……!

Saenz stood up suddenly, subconsciously walked towards the office door, and wanted to turn on the communicator to check the location.But what moved faster than him was the incoming communication from Meera.

Saenz was also looking for her, so he immediately picked her up.

"Meera..."

"Patriarch!" Meera's face looked very anxious, and she didn't have time to wait for Saenz to speak.

"Something happened to Lichen!!!"

[The author has something to say]: Hurry up!
