Chapter 90: Dragon Hunt! Cat Tribe

Dimensional space.

In the projection page from a God's perspective, the thing Duncan was most worried about happened.

The young dragon's appetite increased dramatically, and the lake was no longer enough for it to hunt.

The British Isles have temporarily entered a period of peaceful development. He can entrust human body No. 1 to restore the economic level of the territory, so most of his attention has shifted to human body No. 2.

——Little guy, why are you hungry again?
——Hmm. You really can eat.

——You seem to be stronger than other young dragons. You'd better find the next hunting territory before the nearby prey is eaten up.

Ever since Duncan engraved the power of gluttony, the dragon clan's inherited memory has become a bit talkative.

It reminds the young dragon to eat every day, and then urges it to be careful not to provoke those very powerful enemies.

This thing is quite useful.

With Duncan's consciousness being managed, there is basically no need to worry about encountering a powerful enemy, as the young dragon will hide carefully on its own.

In just over a month, the size of human body No. 2 has doubled, especially in the last half month, the growth rate has been very fast. The sharp dragon claws and sharp teeth have fully grown out, the spread dragon wings have a wingspan of nearly one and a half meters, and the weight has more than doubled, making it look like a foal.

The nearby frost giant tribe has moved away.

After Duncan took over control of human body No. 2, he observed through a God's perspective and found that there were no dangerous targets nearby. He then carefully controlled the young dragon to explore the surrounding area.

-Oh, little guy, your adventurous gene is starting to work again.

—Okay. Good luck.

Two lines of words appeared in the dragon clan's inherited memory like bubbles, and then fell into silence. Once the young dragon began to disobey the code of conduct in the dragon clan's inherited memory, it would quickly fall silent.

"The fish population in the vicinity has been drastically reduced."

"The ice is still thick."

"Winter may not be far away yet."

Duncan controlled the young dragon to move along the lake towards the river. There were towering mountains and steep cliffs nearby, and the surrounding area was covered with white. Animals on land were even rarer. Occasionally, you could see moose-like beasts, which would spit out a faint frost when they breathed.

"Are there humans in this world?"

This was Duncan's doubt at the moment. The young dragon flew underwater like a fish. Because the world under the ice and the outside were two different worlds, there was no need to worry about encountering too terrible enemies.

Ordinary piranhas can no longer threaten the young dragon, and it has not yet encountered any particularly powerful underwater creatures.

The map in the projection page opens little by little.

Duncan didn't know how far he swam to the south, but suddenly a campfire-like mark appeared on the map.

——Ancient Catman Tribe (Cold Subspecies) (Two-star Silver-gray)!

Intelligent creatures?

Cat people?

Duncan suddenly became curious. He controlled the young dragon to dig through the ice, then stretched out a dragon head and looked at the cold forest in the distance.

The top-down perspective does not detect nearby enemies.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly climbed out of the ice, moved his wings, accelerated his running speed, and then glided into the dense boreal forest and landed on one of the big trees.

Duncan didn't dare to get too close and planned to observe these cat people from a God's perspective.

The distance is getting closer little by little.

In an area of the forest near a mountain, an extremely primitive tribe appeared. Their tribe had less than a hundred people, most of whom lived in caves at their feet, and outside were simple fur tents. A bonfire was burning in the center of the tribe, and stones were piled on the side of the cave to form a primitive altar like the sacrificial stone of Avalon.

——Prehistoric saber-toothed tiger (guardian spirit) (three stars silver-gray).

A huge feline was crawling in the cave next to the primitive altar.

There are sentries on guard outside.

Duncan finally saw the appearance of these cat people. They were about 1.6 meters tall, covered with snow-white hair, like snow leopards, with a few spots. Their limbs were very close to those of humanoid creatures, but they had palms and claws that could pop out. Their facial contours were close to a combination of humans and bobcats, and both men and women had cat-like whiskers.

"Can you use fire?"

"It looks like a primitive tribe that has mastered a certain level of civilization."

"A prehistoric humanoid species?"

Duncan found that these cat people did not have obvious hostility. Most of them were neutral units. Because of the cold weather, all hunting activities had been stopped, and the members of the tribe gathered near the cave to keep warm and survive the winter.

A low growl sounded.

Next to the primitive altar, the saber-toothed tiger that was lying on the fur and sleeping soundly suddenly opened its eyes and let out a low growl towards the location of human body No. 2, which was hundreds of meters away.

soon.

From the direction of the campfire, an old cat spirit approached, followed by a man and a woman. The male warrior asked in confusion, "Is the ancestral spirit uneasy?"

This was no ordinary saber-toothed tiger.

The Cat People tribe possesses a unique ritual magic that allows the souls of their ancestors to take over the powerful felines of this land, usually prehistoric saber-toothed tigers. If it is a weaker tribe, they will take over some ferocious tigers.

This kind of feline beast that has taken over another person's body is the guardian spirit and also the totem they worship.

"The ancestral spirit smelled something."

The leading tribal priest looked at the restless saber-toothed tiger in front of him. The huge beast kept sniffing something with its nose, and it was fidgeting in the cave, growling from time to time.

After taking over another body, the guardian spirit does not have the intelligence of a humanoid creature, but is just a powerful beast that protects the tribe.

The young female cat-man had snow-white fur. She looked at the tribal elder and whispered, "Is it some dangerous creature?"

"I've never seen an ancestral spirit so panicked!"

soon.

The warriors of the cat tribe began to gather. The old priest sat on the back of the saber-toothed tiger, summoned the powerful warriors in the tribe, and approached the direction that made the ancestral spirits uneasy.

"careful!"

"Be alert!" "Anything that can unsettle the ancestral spirits is definitely very dangerous!"

But at this time, Duncan had already controlled human body No. 2 to leave. This cat-man tribe was quite powerful, with a three-star silver-gray guardian spirit, a dozen two-star silver-gray elite units, and even ordinary cat-men were marked with one star. It seemed that they were born with good combat power.

"What are these traces?" A cat hunter squatted down and looked at the footprints on the snow.

soon.

The old priest of the Cat People Tribe rushed over. He only took one look before his expression changed slightly and he said solemnly, "Dragon!"

what?
dragon?
The cat people around couldn't help but show a hint of fear when they just heard this name.

But the old priest quickly said, "It's just a young dragon."

"She should be less than three years old!"

"It's not that dangerous yet. It seems to be searching for food. This young dragon is expanding its hunting range."

The other cat people present whispered to each other.

A fierce-looking cat-man warrior with scars on his face, also wearing simple leather armor, said, "Master Priest."

"Should we try to kill it?"

Dragon.

Even a young dragon is a very dangerous creature.

The cat-man priest slowly shook his head and said in a serious tone, "It should have left."

"A dragon's sense of smell is very keen. It might have spotted you before you even got close."

"This is a young dragon, possessing wisdom."

"Maybe we can try to make peace with it."

At this point, the cat-man priest's expression fell into contemplation, as if he was thinking about something. The appearance of a baby dragon would definitely expand his hunting range. Dragons are man-eaters, and they eat almost everything. If they cannot live in peace, then the tribe can only migrate to other places.

But they had only just settled down, and the tribe could no longer withstand the long journey.

good news.

Found a tribe of humanoids.

Duncan was very satisfied with today's discovery. He returned to the frozen lake along the same route. He opened a lot of maps in this area and found a place where a group of moose lived. If there were not enough fish to eat, he could also hunt some game.

Huh?
what is this?
Duncan controlled the young dragon to float up and saw a red-marked unit at the edge of a mountain range.

——Cave Bear (Hibernation) (Two Stars)!
Prehistoric bears?

This guy is quite big, probably weighing nearly half a ton.

Want to try it?

After all, it is a dragon. It is impossible that it cannot even defeat a bear, right?

Duncan hesitated for a moment, then controlled the young dragon to move closer to the cave bear. Its hiding place was very secluded and it would be difficult to find without a God's perspective.

As the young dragon approached, the cave bear's heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if it was waking up from hibernation.

Its powerful sense of smell allowed it to sense a hint of danger.

Rush!
After approaching the cave bear's lair, the young dragon suddenly began to accelerate, and then a low roar came from inside.

boom!
The cave bear brandished its claws and instinctively fought back almost the moment it woke up. There was a hint of fear on its expression. Its genes told it that the enemy in front of it was very scary and that the two were not on the same food chain.

——Dragon Roar: Frost!

The young dragon rolled nimbly to avoid the claws' attack, and the next second, it took a deep breath, and accompanied by a shrill dragon roar, a stream of ice-blue cold current poured out in the form of magical wind.

In an instant, the air before my eyes froze into frost.

Click!

The cave bear's front paws instantly froze into ice. Its heavy body fell over, and its right paw was actually broken, with the blood inside solidifying.

The outcome has been decided.

The young dragon pounced forward, its claws piercing its eyes and its teeth biting directly into its neck.

——Hunting success!
—Great job, little one, you hunted a beast.

—It should last you a long time.

A little glimmer of light emerged.

After Duncan controlled human body No. 2 to kill the cave bear in front of him, some special energy quickly flowed into his body.

"Claw and Bite Mastery: Humanoid No. 2 has mastered the use of fangs and claws in combat. Like a cave bear, it can swing its claws to launch sweeping blows and use its size advantage to launch a flying pounce and bite. Additional effects: Bleeding and Cripple."

The fighting skills of alien human bodies?

Duncan looked at the panel of human body No. 2 curiously and found a few more basic combat styles.

Swing, pounce, and bite.

The dragon's basic fighting moves are completely different from humans', and now all of them have gray borders, indicating that this fighting skill is not yet proficient enough.

understood!

The dragon's fighting skills are improved by these ferocious beasts with claws and sharp teeth.

wrong.

Doesn’t the dragon have wings and a tail?

So where does one acquire the combat skills of wings and tails? Hunt down monsters that can fight with these parts?

It can't be about killing other dragons, right?
