Hungry dragon cubs come to the door

Yu Yan doesn't quite remember how to go on the next road.

He seemed to be split in two, his body was still mechanically commanding to move forward, but his soul was stuck in the place where the bloody corpse was bleeding.

His mind was in a mess. On the one hand, he was worried about Ah Hou, and on the other hand... it was because he was facing Farami for the first time.

In the face of absolute power, even weapons could not calm him down.

The reason why human beings have wisdom and technology that surpasses most races is because if they don't live like this, they will be weak and unable to protect themselves.

Even though Yu Yan has seen starships and spaceships that are much larger than giant dragons, the raw and pure life force brings the shock that makes people's throats tighten and blood flows backwards, which is really not something that Guangdao can feel through hearsay.

He began to understand why His Majesty launched two wars against dragons after ascending the throne, against all opinions, and issued iron laws to expel all dragons from the mother star and all major planets in the Alpha Quadrant.

It took an unimaginable price just to protect hundreds of millions of weak and unarmed people.

Even Ah Hou can't compete with it, so what can he do.

You can't empty out the entire forest with a nuclear bomb, can you?

Then Noah would cease to exist.

Before, I vowed to capture Farami and exchange first-class merit for the emperor's guest. Perhaps the strength of the mother planet or the expeditionary force is enough to match, but Nuoer star, think about the old hammer, the ruffian, and A Lan—— It is impossible.

If this goes on, how will he hunt it down?

How to avenge Ah Hou?

The word revenge made Yu Yan's heart tremble.

He still couldn't believe that the big guy was defeated just like that.

But as the saying goes, if you live, you need to see people, and when you die, you need to see corpses. There was no Ah Hou in that place just now, so he might have successfully escaped; even if he was captured, there was still a chance of survival.

As long as it is not dead...

Recalling Ah Hou's sturdy scales like titanium steel, Yu Yan once again ignited a faint hope.

Perhaps it was because the two overlords of the forest (Yu Yanfeng's) appeared at the same time, the oppressive force was too strong, no weak animal wanted to be reduced to cannon fodder in the battle, and I didn't meet many other creatures in the next few days.

At most they were weak birds and rabbits, at most they were little foxes, and even the ghost wolf was nowhere to be found.

Yu Yan seems to be walking safely in human society, and the journey is smooth.

Even though the plan was disrupted by the episode of Farami and Ah Hou, Yu Yan has not forgotten another important task of this trip: resource exploration.

The result is surprising. As expected, there are many valuable mineral deposits that cannot even be named by the recorder.

Walk and survey during the day, and rest at night.

He hung the portable sleeping bag on the thick tree trunk, curled up in it uncomfortably, and stared at the night from the gap of the branches.

The dark blue night sky is vast and clear, with dots of stars twinkling in it, as if telling some secret language.

He hasn't looked at the stars for a long time.

For so many years on the mother planet, he has been running around for training and completing tasks every day, and he is so tired that he goes back to sleep every day, and there is no such luxury as watching the stars.

Before the new interstellar era, human beings were limited by the development of science and technology, and could hardly leave their parent star, and the farthest was no more than the Milky Way. They were full of yearning for the vast galaxy in the vast sky.

In the zero year of the Imperial Era, the Great established the First Empire, marking the official conquest of the Alpha Quadrant by humans.

At this moment, on this night in the year 123 of the Imperial Era, Yu Yan can even remember which constellations and nebulae he has been to and which ones he has not.

Hundreds of years ago, the starry sky was the greatest mystery of mankind.

Hundreds of years later, the near galaxies have already been acquired, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force is marching towards deep space.

What's next?

Beyond deep space, what else?

Yu Yan, who is not emotional, rarely feels a little confused.

Perhaps, after conquering the vast world, you have to go back and face the problem of your own heart.

At that time, will the Xuetuanzi and the old lady in the sweet taro field, such a race with telepathic ability, become the target of public criticism, or will they be the apple of the eye?

Under the light of the unreachable philosophical problems and the light of the stars, he gradually fell asleep.

Compared with the huge parent star, the companion star Noah is really tiny.

Even if it occupies half of the forest, Yu Yan can finish it in three days.

It was dusk when we arrived at the outpost at the northwest corner of the forest.

Yu Yan was dressed in twilight, and used the iris authority to clear the border of the outpost, and a lot of people rushed out.

He counted them habitually, and was surprised to find that apart from the original soldiers at the outpost, all the other participants were there.

The soldiers who circled from the edge of safety arrived earlier than he, who crossed the diagonal.

...I turned out to be the last one.

Yu Yan was a little dazed, not sure if it was because the fight between him and the blood scythe was delayed for too long, or the map was wrong.

Or is this group of garrisons far stronger than imagined?

Was his estimate wrong?

Everyone saw it.

This young and always calm commander who has just arrived has completed an almost impossible task. Now he is standing under the orange-pink sunset with scars and tiredness on his pretty face.

After seeing them, he showed a little helplessness like a child.

Ah Lan, who insisted on following, was the last one to run out of the room after receiving the news.

Seeing Officer Yu, he burst into tears, and regardless of the difference between superiors and subordinates who had been warned countless times by Brother Min, he rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

"I, we all thought you..."

Yu Yan didn't push him away, but became more confused.

Huang Yangmin came out from the crowd and took a deep breath: "Mr. Yu, congratulations, you have finished the game."

Everyone applauded.

Those veterans who had disdained him and ridiculed him arrogantly all carried a kind of silent admiration.

Yu Yan blinked his eyes, but still couldn't understand why he was the last one to arrive, but received a scene like an interview with a hero.

Huang Yangmin's voice trembled: "Sir, you are... the only one who persisted."

Yu Yan didn't understand.

Huang Yangmin told him that among the 53 participants, except him, none of the remaining 52 persisted. They all surrendered to the surveillance drone and waited for the patrol spacecraft to pick them up.

Even though Yu Yan understood, the confusion didn't disappear.

In his life, there was only success or failure, and he never gave up.

——As a soldier of the empire, how could he choose to back down during the mission?

What's the difference between that and a deserter!

Yu Yan, who has always had no temper, felt a pinprick of anger.

Someone couldn't read the chief's displeasure from his expression: "The drone captured the picture of you fighting... the blood scythe." The questioner took a small breath when talking about this creature, "Are you How did you do it?"

This is the only person who has survived the Blood Scythe so far.

It is also the first human being able to successfully cross the forest in the century-old history of Noah Star.

Yu Yan is not willing to recall those experiences, especially it is hard not to think of Ah Hou who is closely related to this matter.

"I……"

When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was very hoarse.

Fighting the Blood Scythe, not having a good rest and eating for three whole days, and being on guard against new crises anytime, anywhere is no easy task.

I couldn't even speak.

Huang Yangmin immediately sensed the discomfort of the officer this time: "It's done, it's all gone, the officer needs to rest. Gather and return to the base tomorrow morning, and now we are all disbanded!"

Everyone still had a lot of doubts, but they could also see the haggardness of the commander, so they had to separate.

Yu Yan shook his head at the concerned eyes of Huang Yangmin and A Lan, walking heavily, walking against the setting sun and the crowd.

Facts have proved that his method is correct, without abusing violence, just after this tough game, he can successfully establish prestige in the garrison.

Colonel Lin's theory is also correct: if you want to become Noah's commander, you must establish the position of "chief wolf".

The problem is, it's only half right.

This group of soldiers who "lick blood with the tip of a knife" and "brave and good at fighting" in Lin Lao's mouth seem to have lost their ambitions in being ignored by the empire day after day and year after year.

It's all very well to be a "wolf in charge," but leading a pack of wolves that have lost their blood isn't exactly a joy to behold.

When she first found out her whereabouts after graduation, Yu Yan originally planned to capture the evil dragon on Nuo E, gain first-class military merit, and be transferred back to the Expeditionary Army as soon as possible.

After the spaceship crashed, they added plans to figure out what the mystery of Ahou and Ningning was.

Today, there is a more important, or precondition, objective - to straighten out the garrison.

Yu Yan was not a coquettish and clingy child since he was a child, but he did not know when he retained a habit, whenever he encountered a moment of confusion, he would video call the teacher.

He has no father, no mother, and no close friends in this world. He walks alone, and the only person he can trust is his teacher.

It was already late at night when the dial was dialed. Before the signal was connected, Yu Yan hesitated whether the teacher would have fallen asleep so late. He didn't expect that after the other side connected, the surrounding lights were bright, and he was still wearing an apron, with some stains on his face. Flour, looks much more energetic than the exhausted self.

"..."

It's late at night, is this a supper?

The teacher on the other side of the camera was smiling, wiped his hands on the apron, and was about to pick up the PADD.

Yu Yan cleared his throat: "Teacher, I—"

Before he could finish speaking, the screen was covered with a large snow white.

Yu Yan thought that the PADD was broken, but the white snow trembled, turning to the left and then to the right, and some fine, fluff-like things appeared again.

Holding the piece of white snow away with both hands, Yu Yan realized that this ball of fluff was nothing but the snow ball he would think of from time to time these days.

Ning Ning writhed uncomfortably in the arms of the teacher, wanting to escape.

The teacher had no choice but to bring the PADD closer: "Okay, can you see it this way?"

"Hey!"

Ning Ning's transparent eyes were full of surprises: "Ning, Ning!"

Yu Yan smiled slightly: "Hi, long time no see."

"Wow! Wow, wow?"

There are a lot of Mao Tuanzi chattering, with a strong desire to talk.

It wants to ask, where have you been recently?

Why don't you come and see me?

Have you met my big buddy?

You guys, when are you coming to pick me up and go home with me?

...problem is, its Twolegs don't seem to understand at all.

Yu Yan and Mao Tuanzi looked at each other, only then did they realize that their communication in the past relied on Ning Ning's mental projection, and it was a one-way conversation that had to be in the same space.

Now separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, how can we build a spiritual dialogue?

At this time, you will realize how important it is to master a foreign language.

The teacher also found out that the two of them were not communicating well, put the PADD on the table, and asked the little guy, "Just tell me if you have anything to say, and I'll talk to Xiaoyu again, how about it?"

Xuetuanzi tilted his head to look at him, thought for a while, and thought it was a good idea.

When one person and one ball entered the spiritual space to talk there, Yu Yan watched them quietly from outside the screen.

The teacher closed his eyes, hugged the fur ball, and gently combed its fluff with his fingers.

They were in the kitchen. From this angle, they could see the counter. There were some flour, butter, and cream, and they seemed to be making biscuits or something.

Considering that Ning Ning is a little greedy cat, the teacher must have made it for him.

The former major general of the empire, now pampering his grandson like a retired old man—although this grandson is a fur ball—is indeed somewhat different from the majestic image in the video.

However, the term "retired elderly" is fine.

Although the teacher seems to have just passed, he is actually 70 years old.Just because of his too young appearance, people always ignore his real age.

After a while, the teacher opened his eyes and conveyed Xue Tuanzi's words.

It's nothing important, it's just expressing miss.

Yu Yan murmured in his heart, Ningning didn't mention anything about Ah Hou at all.

Is it because it didn't think of a good partner, or was it scruples to ignore when telling the teacher, or, in fact, the teacher chose to filter out this information on his own initiative?

The teacher looked at him with his translucent right eye, as if he could see through his mind through the screen.

The one who asked was: "What can you do with me?"

Yu Yan thought for a while, and briefly summed up the fact that the morale of the garrison was sluggish after the cross-country race was held.

The teacher scratched Ning Ning's chin like a cat: "Well... Nuo'xing, there are many old diseases that cannot be changed overnight. If you want to do something, you have to take it step by step. Don't worry too much. Reluctantly, Xiaoyu, you have been like this since you were a child, you just plunge into what you want to do. Don’t think I’m a long-winded old man, but when you get to my age, you’ll know that the most important thing in everything is your body. Look at your Face, don't always be so desperate, huh?"

Yu Yan nodded obediently.

The teacher's tone was gentle and soft, even if it was not a very detailed practical suggestion, it made him calm down.

The teacher smiled: "I believe that you can polish Noah's star—and only you can."

He added: "Your Majesty also believes in you."

Yu Yan blinked.

... Would His Majesty, who is as busy as he is, notice such a little unknown person?

It's not so much that the gold shines before His Majesty, it's better to say that the relationship between the teacher and the emperor is very deep...

Speaking of the relationship between others and the teacher, Yu Yan suddenly remembered the paper photo he saw in the room where he lived in the base and where Colonel Lin lived before.

He kind of wanted to ask the teacher, who was that weird and out of place man next to him, but he felt that it was out of place.

Just as he was hesitating, the video screen was suddenly interrupted.

Yu Yan thought it was because the signal here was not good, so she saw a message from the teacher on the screen: [Sorry, the kid accidentally knocked over the flour, I have to clean it up first. 】

Yu Yan: "..."

He held his forehead.

This little villain who makes trouble everywhere.

It seems that there are some things that can only be asked later.

After returning to the base, Yu Yan gave everyone two days to rest.

After the short "vacation", the first task is to select three teams through regular competitions to patrol the dragon's nest in turn.

When everyone heard about this task, their first reaction was panic.

Dragon... dragon nest?

Don't die?

They were trembling, wondering if the commander had been tortured and lost his mind while crossing the forest.

What had to be suffered to choose to die in this way!

Yu Yan explained that their mission was only to detect Farami's dynamics and record its behavior and habits, not to directly confront;

Moreover, their safety will be guaranteed. Once the instrument detects the movement of the dragon, all members will retreat immediately.

The soldiers were skeptical, until the commander personally led a small group of troops back and forth for three days, and everyone was fine, except for Alan who was stung by bees all over the head, they believed that this new chief seemed to really want to Take down the dragon.

As the mouthpiece of Yu Yan, who is not good at words, Huang Yangmin described to them a beautiful blueprint for everyone to be promoted and raise their salaries to reach the pinnacle of life after working together to catch the evil dragon and pay tribute to the mother planet.

That sounds...really wonderful.

Finally, someone couldn't resist the temptation and volunteered to sign up for patrol.

The next day, when he came back safely and vividly described how magnificent the Dragon's Nest Abyss was, and how honorable it was to walk with the Commander, some people couldn't help but join in.

Day three, day four...

A week later, three regular patrol teams were formally established.

The lair occupied by Farami is not difficult to find. The biggest problem encountered before: the blood scythe guarding the door, and the number of blood scythes guarding the door has also decreased sharply due to the battle in the hinterland of the forest. There are almost few left.

The entrance of the cave was extremely silent, as if there was nothing inside.

However, no one dared to act rashly.

After all, it's Farami inside.

However, several pairs of men and horses have been stationed for a week, and there is no movement in the Dragon Nest.

The instrument showed that there was indeed a huge monster under the abyss, and they didn't miss it.

Why did Farami never show up?

The team members couldn't help muttering, doesn't this guy need to eat?

Yu Yan frowned at the steady fluctuations on the monitoring instrument.

It seemed that Farami had just been sleeping.

If it wasn't for the destruction of the sweet taro field last time by some kind of super-large creature, he would wonder if Farami hadn't ended his 50-year hibernation at all.

Could it be because he was also seriously injured after fighting Ah Hou last time?

His heart couldn't help but sink.

——In that case, where is Ah Hou who lost so much blood?

Deep in the dragon's nest.

It slowly woke up from a deep sleep, and its brain was still a little drowsy.

I just woke up from "hibernation" not long ago, and was forced to sleep for another half a month, which was not comfortable.

Thinking of the culprit that caused it to sleep again, it was a little irritable.

He never expected that the blood scythes he raised would turn against each other and attack them in groups, trying their best to kill him.

Compared with it, these small things are like ants to elephants. Dozens or a hundred are not enough to fear, but if there are thousands or tens of thousands, even it is hard to fight.

What's more, it chose blood scythes to guard the entrance of the cave at first, because they like the ghost wolves to stare at the prey and never die, and they are easier to command than the ghost wolves. How tough.

The advantage that could be used in the past has now become a sharp knife inserted into oneself.

Although it did hurt them for that human before, it was because these guys were unruly and acted on themselves first...

never mind.It's useless to think about it now.

The Blood Scythe died of death and injury, and the rest completely turned their backs on it.

And that human being is also not around.

The Blood Scythes were too difficult to deal with. While it nearly exterminated them, they also caused considerable damage to it, so that it slept for half a month before recovering.

It will also ask itself, is it worth it to protect that fragile human being with such a great injury?

Humph.

It remembered that beautiful human being.

He tried to run away from him over and over again.

Disobedient humans.

In such a dangerous forest, who else can protect him except himself?

... It's better to capture him and make him Mrs. Yazhai.

Next time, be sure to tie him by your side and never let him go anywhere.

but……

Its belly growled loudly in the empty cavern.

Before that, let's eat first.

very hungry.

Last time, the sweet taro from the old lady's house was very good, so it decided to eat some buffet again.

It's just that she always stares straight at herself, obviously a blind person.

It's kind of scary.

It would be great if the velvet spirit beast was here at this time, either communicate with her or act cute to her, anyway, just don't look at yourself like that.

It affects appetite.

In fact, it is a bit unaccustomed to communicating with creatures with telepathic abilities. It always feels that it can be easily seen through, and it is not safe.

But the giant dragon needs to bind and reciprocate with the downy spirit beast from generation to generation. Whether it is willing or not, it cannot escape this fate.

Although its velvet spirit beast doesn't help him much, it babbles a lot all day long, so it can only be used as a small toy to relieve boredom.

Still the human being is more fun.

It likes to cuddle him to sleep.

It moved its body to get up, and felt a strange sense of relief.

It seems that it is not as heavy as usual.

Is it because you are full of sleep and have more energy?

It seems that he is still very arrogant.

It yawned and rubbed its eyes.

……and many more.

Something doesn't seem right.

It opened its eyes, and it was dark all around, only a pair of golden dragon pupils were as bright as lamps.

It lowered its head and saw a pair of small claws.

very small.

It's not much bigger than the little paws of the velvet spirit beast, and it's so miniature and cute.

its not right.

The velvet spirit beast has been wandering around somewhere recently, and there will be no other visitors here. How could there be such a small pair of claws?

and……

It stretches its claws.

Hold on.

Stretch out again.

Why can I control these little claws? !

It felt a surge of fear from the depths of its bones.

Is it...

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

It's so dark in here that it has to go outside to see better.

Fly, take off!

Damn, why is it flying so slowly!

Where it can't see, the soft little wings can't support the chubby body a bit, and it flies staggeringly.

It took a long time to climb the cliff that could have been climbed in a few seconds, and I was so tired that I was panting.

When I was about to leave the hole, I was exhausted and almost fell back. Fortunately, at the critical moment, my two little claws grabbed the vines at the entrance of the hole.

The vines weren't right either.

The impression is that it is very thin and can be used to scratch itches.

Now it's terrifyingly thick, just like I used to wrap my tail around that human being...

Why do you think of him again, is this the point now!

It hurriedly found the place where it usually drinks and takes a bath, but when it saw the running water, it became dizzy for a while.

Isn't that the creek?Why does it look so big and choppy now?

won't fall, will it?It can't swim!

It landed cautiously by the stream, grasping the grass with its small paws, and looked at the reflection in the water with trepidation.

In the clear and clear water surface, the tall, mighty, heroic, unrestrained and handsome figure that it was familiar with did not appear.

Instead, there was a small and exquisite milk dragon... Cub?

The little dragon cub is only half a meter tall, with no teeth, and is quite chubby and cute.

He was opening his big round eyes, looking at it with horror on his face.

……Grass!

Who the hell is this meowing?

The author has something to say:

Dragon Cub: What about me?How about my big (shuai) self? =mouth=
