A month later, in a lush forest.
The sun at noon is radiating endless heat wantonly. This is the hottest season of the year, and the air is emitting astonishing heat.
Under the shade of the tree, several little squirrels were holding a few fruits and gnawing with relish. The stream under the tree was tinkling, and countless animals were huddled nearby to drink water to escape the heat.
"Buzz~~buzz~~"
At this time, a slight tremor suddenly appeared, and the ground began to tremble inexplicably, as if there was some huge monster underground about to break out of the ground.
Suddenly, countless animals taking refuge in the summer stood up and turned to look, as if they were running away as soon as they sensed the approaching crisis.
"Click..."
There was a heartbreaking sound, but it was the sound of the big tree being broken by a huge boulder that came from nowhere.
Not long afterward, with a loud bang, a cave in the distance was completely shattered.
Its broken boulders turned into a shower of stones, shooting out in all directions, and several shocking cracks appeared on the ground.
Suddenly, loud noises, diffuse smoke, and shooting stones caused all the commotion in this center.
A huge dragon head slowly raised up, surpassing the lush woods in an instant.
Then the dragon head raised up, and the violent air was suddenly absorbed. In an instant, a large amount of air disappeared. With the huge dragon head as the center, a transparent vortex appeared in the air.
That's because the air at a point is suddenly extracted quickly and a vacuum appears, so that the surrounding air creates a vortex due to rapid backflow.
At this time, the shocking movement finally aroused the vigilance of countless summer animals, and they all started to run away.
However, at this time, the transparent air vortex stopped, and the huge dragon head that exceeded the height of the forest opened its mouth, and countless fine and sharp metal teeth were clearly revealed.
"hold head high--!!!"
A shocking dragon roar suddenly sounded, and in an instant it turned into a transparent ripple that was so terrifying that it was visible to the naked eye, centered on the dragon's mouth, and scattered in all directions.
At this moment, everything was silent.
Wherever this ripple passed, the animals that were still running froze.
Suddenly, they all fell to the ground due to the impact of running fast.
And animals are like this, and the big trees are no exception. They all broke in the middle with a sour click sound, sending up smoke and dust all over the ground.
In an instant, any place crossed by that terrifying transparent ripple turned into a mess.
But this ripple never stopped with rapid momentum, spreading farther and deeper.
At this moment, all the creatures in the entire Broken Dragon Mountain Range heard this terrifying and distant dragon roar.
Countless forest overlords and king-level large beasts raised their heads uneasily and stared in the direction from which the dragon roar came.
At the same time, the entire outermost foothills of the Duanlong Mountain Range.
"laugh-"
As a slight sound of weeding appeared, a young man carrying a bamboo basket became happy. He stretched out his precious rough fingers to touch the green plant, and murmured to himself: "Another one." A blood-strengthening grass, I can buy a good medicine today to treat my father’s injury.”
Speaking of this, he also showed a happy smile.
"Er Gou, Er Gou. Why are you still standing there? Everyone is leaving."
A man in the distance who was also carrying a bamboo basket turned around and shouted to the boy.
"Hey, here comes the second uncle."
The young man named Ergou raised his hand and waved in response, then he shook the bamboo basket behind him and hurriedly followed.
"What did you do just now?"
"Hey, uncle, I found a strong blood grass today."
"Yo~~" Hearing this, the man turned his head and looked in surprise, then smiled and praised: "Not bad, boy. It seems that you can get a good price for those gentlemen today. Now the big brother's injury It should get better faster."
"Yeah!" Ergou responded heavily, with a smile on his face.
"But I'm not saying that, but you have just started following the group into the mountains to collect herbs. You must always pay attention to the group's route and don't leave alone without permission. You must know that it is very dangerous in this mountain." The man said seriously. road.
"Danger? Wasn't this path cleared by the adults and Orion?" Ergou was a little confused when he heard this.
"That's true, but there are always special exceptions for those unintelligent beasts that break into this safe path. There are not a few people who died in this situation in the past."
The man answered carefully.
"So when you learn to collect herbs alone in the future, you must not trust this too blindly. Don't go too deep into collecting herbs. This mountain range is not easy."
"Isn't it simple?" After hearing this, Ergou perked up.
Thinking of the stories that had been passed down by the old people in the village in the past, he asked curiously with sparkling eyes: "Second uncle, is there really a dragon in this world? Is it still hidden in this mountain range?"
"Ha~" The second uncle smiled, "Dragon? There is no such thing as a dragon. It is not the dragon that is dangerous."
"It's those ferocious beasts!" replied a man in front wearing several patched clothes, "I asked why I didn't see you two today. It turned out that you sneaked behind the team."
"Oh, is there really no dragon?" After hearing this, Ergou, whose eyes were sparkling just now, lowered his head in disappointment.
"hold head high--!!"
However, at this moment, a distant and ethereal dragon roar happened to come from the depths of the mountain.
For a moment, the three of them froze, their necks as stiff as an old jammed machine as they slowly lifted up and looked at each other.
At this moment, anyone could see the shock in each other's eyes.
After a while, the second uncle swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Just now, what was that sound just now?"
The man in patchwork clothes also had a face full of shock. He seemed to be out of breath, and replied dryly: "No, I don't know, maybe it's some kind of beast."
However, one could tell from their voices that they didn't mean what they said.
"Dragon! It must be a dragon!" However, Ergou shouted with joy at this moment, "Uncle, don't you think there is no dragon? What was that sound just now?"
Suddenly, the boy's young and loud voice was extremely clear in the forest.
As soon as these words came out, the second uncle turned pale in fright, hurriedly covered his mouth, and looked at the team in front in panic.
There was silence at the moment, but if you look closely at their expressions, you could see that some were happy, some were worried, and some were afraid, but no one was paying attention to them.
Then he whispered: "Do you want to die? Don't say this nonsense. If you lie about the truth, you will be beheaded by the military master."
"Go, go! Let's go back!"
At this moment, the second uncle took his eldest brother's son and rushed back directly, not caring about collecting medicine.
As soon as this move was made, the herb collectors in front of them seemed to have come to their senses and walked back one after another.
It's unclear whether it was because of fear or because he wanted to secretly tell the news to those gentlemen to obtain large amounts of property.
The only thing they knew was that at this moment, everyone felt an astonishing fear for the first time as they looked at the woods that were so familiar to them in the past.
Even though it was the hottest time of the day at noon, everyone still felt as cold as standing naked in the snow.
Alien beasts are scary enough. Once ordinary people encounter them, they will die without rebirth. As the pinnacle of all alien beasts - the legendary dragon.
So how terrible it is is unknown.
Along the way, everyone was walking faster and faster, as if there was some wild beast chasing behind them.
The sky seems to be changing. There are dragons here. This is not good news.
Near this village, there will soon be a large number of various gentlemen that the villagers cannot afford to offend.
And they, as the first insiders to discover the news, are probably going to be raped.
The army and the mysterious dragon, no matter which one they are, are huge monsters to them. They will be injured if they come into contact, and they will die if they touch them.
