Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 69: The beasts on earth are the mouthpiece of the dragons

The arrival of summer makes the already dense forest even denser, and the lush treetops block the scorching sunlight falling from the sky.

Be especially careful when walking in particularly shady woods, as the accumulation of dead leaves can easily give away your position, making you a target for more powerful creatures.

Especially those adventurers, some ordinary adventurers can also defeat many powerful creatures if they are prepared.

But if they accidentally encounter some unexpectedly powerful beasts or ferocious animals, it is often the ordinary adventurers who are in trouble.

The group of adventurers in front of us are very flexible. In order not to alarm their target prey, they use hooks made of thick ropes to move on tall trees like monkeys that can flexibly jump on branches in the jungle.

Adventurers who are agile and practice martial arts can be even more flexible than those apes.

These adventurers set their sights on a magic tiger living in the jungle, a female tiger with two cubs.

This kind of magic tiger is born to be a ferocious species, and naturally possesses the ability to become ferocious when it grows into adulthood.

The fur of this magic tiger is not only gorgeous and exquisite, and deeply loved by the nobles, but it is also a magical material that can carry the power of magic runes, and is also very useful to those wizards.

The most important thing is that magic tigers are naturally creatures with relatively sufficient spiritual intelligence, and some are even smarter than newborn white dragons.

If you catch a magic tiger cub, you can sell it to nobles and merchants who like to use various magical creatures to breed pets and knights. This is a business that can make a lot of money.

However, the experienced ones among these adventurers knew very well that although the tigress who was breastfeeding her cubs was extremely scary, what was even scarier was what was in the dark.

Male magic tigers often hide in the dark and watch the every move of female magic tigers and cubs.

If any other creature dares to enter the habitat of the tigress and her cubs, the male magic tiger will directly attack and kill the other creature instead of driving it away.

The adventurers carefully observed the surroundings. Outside the magic tiger's den, only the female tiger was lazily lying on the ground.
The two cubs were playing and fighting, one biting the mother tiger's ear, the other biting her tail. There was no sign of the male tiger's activity.

So at the captain's command, several adventurers who had been quietly hiding in the treetops using hooks took out the special long-barreled darts hidden behind their backs, and then began to apply a larger dose of special magic potion on the arrows of the darts.

This magic potion will quickly dissipate in the air if it comes into contact with wind, but its effect is very strong. A small drop can knock out the largest herbivorous elephant on the grassland.

This kind of potion is a considerable expense for these adventurers, but if they can successfully capture the prey in front of them, then this expenditure is just a drop in the bucket.

After applying the potion, the adventurers aimed their blowpipes at the tigress who was unaware of the situation. Whoosh, a faint sound of wind passed by.

The tigress's ears had just stood up when she was hit.

This clever tigress sensed that the potion in her body was taking effect. Her skin, which was covered with gorgeous magic patterns, lit up, and a force of wind element began to appear and spread through her body.

Roar, the high and penetrating roar of the tiger was heard from far away, shaking up the birds in the forest, but the tigress also fell down in this short moment.

The two tiger cubs scurried toward the cave, but the adventurer ignored them and reloaded his blowgun and reapplied the potion.

Since the tigress has sent out a signal, the male tiger not far from this area will definitely come over, so we might as well knock that male tiger down as well.

Anyway, they were hiding in the trees, and if the male tiger couldn't find them immediately, he would check on the female tiger.

At that time, these adventurers can use the same trick again and easily capture this nest of magic tigers.

The sound of rustling through the forest could be heard. Even when the Magic Tiger was running at full speed, the soft pad under its feet passively made it move less quietly.

A five-meter-long male tiger jumped onto the mound above the den and looked around vigilantly.

However, after finding no trace of the enemy, he did not check on the fallen tigress immediately. Instead, he raised his head and let out a tiger roar that pierced the forest.

Awooo, that's a warning signal. The adventurers hiding in the dense treetops changed their expressions and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, "Could it be that even these beasts have begun to live in groups now? Or has something changed in this forest?"

But they did not dare to expose their tracks. If they were prepared, these ordinary adventurers could easily knock down a magic tiger, but if the other party was prepared, they would have to watch the scene in reverse.

They all held their breath and carefully restrained their movements.

Soon, things changed in a way that the adventurers could not understand. When they heard the tiger's roar, it was not other magic tigers that came running, but a group of gnolls and green goblins holding whistle arrows and various weapons.

This group of gnolls and green-skinned goblins first carefully poked their heads out from behind the tall trees to observe carefully, and when they found that there were no enemies, they ran out angrily.

What surprised these adventurers was that the male magic tiger did not attack the gnolls and greenskins who seemed to have weak fighting power, but stood there leisurely.

The leading kobold is Bagg's nephew. Perhaps the kobolds do not value these ethical relationships.

But after all, he is a relative of the ogre leader, so now he can also become the captain of a patrol team.

The Kobold Captain carefully examined the marks on the fallen tigress and immediately cursed: "Damn it, it was those humans who did it. Those humans will definitely not go far. Go find them."

The male magic tiger who was watching from the sidelines roared when he heard the words of the ogre captain. The magic patterns on his body lit up, and a wind blade slashed towards the tall tree canopy, cutting off the branches.

The male magic tiger, with its keen five senses and great intelligence, had already discovered the humans hiding in the treetops, but it was smart enough to reveal this fact only now.

After all, it is now a regular magic tiger and does not need to rely on its own strength. Smart beasts know how to take advantage of the situation, not to mention that it is a more intelligent and ferocious species.

An unlucky adventurer fell down screaming, and fell on the thick rotten leaves, and was captured by the surging kobolds.

"Damn it, you humans are really causing trouble for us ogres," the ogrell captain cursed and kicked the adventurers who were tied up and kneeling on the ground.

These adventurers are well aware of the rules of living in this land. Although they are currently in a cooperative relationship with the dragons, the ones they must not provoke are the dragon's followers.

Moreover, as the situation in Hobis, the capital of the Carthaginian Empire, spread, the terrifying red dragon, the legendary king who returned to his territory from the human empire, has once again ruled this land.

These adventurers simply did not dare to offend the will of the master of this territory. Doing so might not only cost them their own lives, but the entire camp would also be doomed to be destroyed.

Moreover, with the kobolds pointing bows and arrows at them, they did not dare to resist and could only jump off the treetops one by one and be tied up.

"This guard post is under the jurisdiction of Lord Chiron. I hope he won't be angry about this."

The kobold captain was also a little nervous, fearing that he would be punished by the more powerful dragonborn. After all, this matter was the will of the dragon, and he deserved to be punished if he didn't do it well.

When the powerful dragon-born centaur Chiron learned the news, his reaction was exactly the same as the kobold captain's.

"Damn it, you kobolds are always giving me trouble,"

Chiron was a little angry. These ferocious animals, which were intelligent enough to communicate, were the dragons' voices planted in the forest.

The birds in the sky are the eyes of the dragon group, and the beasts on the ground are the voices of the dragon group.

That is the will from the giant red dragon, which is the supreme and irresistible command in the eyes of these dragonborn.

Moreover, he and other dragonborn had used physical methods to persuade these magic tigers, and now they were almost secretly hunted by humans. It would be disastrous if a loophole was created in this security area.

The current human camp and the dragon territory are partners, and these humans have not crossed the border. They just don't know about the recent changes in the dragon territory, so he can't deal with these humans casually.

"No, I have to tell Lord Rosani about this and ask Lord Rosani what to do. I hope Lord Rosani will not be angry about this." Chiron thought so in his heart.
