Hotel on the mountain

"The black eclipse dragon is the youngest ancient dragon." Qiu Guang, who was covered in bandages and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, said this while lying on the bed, "The Hunters' Guild has records of the beast tide that appeared in the century-old battle to the death. There is a figure of the Black Eclipse Dragon in it. This is the first time that people have observed the Black Eclipse Dragon. It has no eyes and relies solely on the black matter scattered on its body to observe the surrounding environment and prey. This is why it is called an ancient dragon. ,Because of……"

"Black substance! The scale powder scattered from its body will change the structure of living things!" The excited Dao'er held up her small notebook and showed everyone a draft she drew on it, "It's unbelievable, this kind of subtle When the substance is inhaled by creatures, it will cause the creatures to go crazy and greatly enhance their strength and physique, just like..."

"Assimilation, or infection." Qiu Guang took up the topic again, "In the beast tide that destroyed most of the human territory, many crazy monsters appeared, and there was also a black air that covered the sky and the sun. Those black Inhalation of Qi will cause a person's physical strength to decline, so the Black Eclipse Dragon is considered to have the power of a natural disaster and is included in the scope of ancient dragons. However, there was only one sighting in the entire Old Continent. I did not expect it to be in the New Continent. Appeared."

"Wait." Jetro raised his hand and asked, "You said it is the youngest, why?"

"Because it's a child like me!" A short girl suddenly jumped in at the door of the simple temporary wooden house. I saw Xibinai Chiyo climbing on the edge of the door, putting her head in and showing her white teeth, and she was talking happily.唔.

"Who let her in?!" Jetro asked in a deep voice. Dao'er weakly raised his little hand and responded in a low voice: "I..." Yetro spread his hands in shock, and Dao'er said sheepishly: "Because I promised her, didn't I want to find a friend for her? ?”

Jetro could only sigh and asked: "My dear Daoer, have you told anyone the 'mundane' news that 'we captured the Black Eclipse Dragon'?"

"Um...Does Sith count?" Dao'er held the notebook and pointed at Sith standing behind him. Sith's face with a scar was expressionless.

"Well, I hope everyone here can understand that the one currently being held outside the house - Gu Long! is top secret! Do you understand top secret?! Top secret means that if it spreads on a large scale, I will let no one in the entire New World know about it. Want to go back!”

Qiu Guang, who had a bandage on his face, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice after hearing this "threat". The blacksmith Simba, the chef Pavlov, the deputy butler Gordon, the guard captain Sith, the hunter Daniel, and the scholar and doctor Daoer all glanced at Qiu Guang, and then moved their gazes to Jetro's face. on, nodding thoughtfully.

"Xiao Nai, come in." Yetro waved to Xibinai, "Why do you say it is a child like you?" Although Yetro felt that children sometimes deliberately say surprising things to gain attention, he understood. Sibyna was not such a child.

"Because it told me." Xibinai raised her hands as a threat and imitated vividly, "'Let me out'! 'You humble little person'! 'I must do it when I grow up. Eat 'em all'! 'Eat 'em all'!"

"So, it must be a child. Adults wouldn't say it has grown up." Xibinai proudly put her hands on her hips, feeling that her IQ was higher than that of everyone in the room.

Jetro squinted and looked at Xibinai. He squatted down, looked at Xibinai at eye level and said, "Xiao Nai, do you know your last name?"

"Of course, the little girl's name is Xibinai Chiyo!"

"Then, Chiyo-chan, can you help me ask your friend why it appears here and what does it want?"

"Okay, since you are a good uncle who provides food and accommodation, I will do this for you."

After Xibinai swaggered out of the wooden door, Qiu Guang was the first to question: "This is impossible. How can humans communicate with ancient dragons?"

"Well, although I think everything is possible, but communicating with Gu Long! This can definitely set off a revolution!" Dao'er hugged her little notebook and jumped excitedly.

Others also sounded suspicious remarks, and Jetro signaled everyone to stop talking and said: "This is a new continent, everything is new. Whether it is possible or not, we just need to verify it."

So everyone followed Sibinae out. Outside the house, a huge wooden cage stood in the center of Pearl Lake. The black dragon with a depressed look was lying in the cage. Its angry tentacles had retracted under the horny skin of its head and neck, and its four legs Both his body and Winged Foot were tied by huge iron chains and unable to use their strength. Coupled with its severely injured and hungry body, it could only be slaughtered at this time.

Xibinai came to the outside of the cage through a plank road built on the lake, and greeted inside friendly: "My good friend! Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

However, Xibinai only heard the feeble word "get out", but no one else who followed her heard the black eclipse dragon make a sound, and only saw its closed eyes opening a moment.

Sibinet was very angry when she heard the word "go away". She shouted angrily: "If you don't treat me as my friend, I will skin you! Boil you! Then throw the bones into the lake to feed the fish! Feed the fish!!!"

The human language transmitted through the vibration of the vocal cords fell into the Black Eclipse Dragon's ears and was perfectly understood by it. It raised its head slightly and hit the edge of the cage, opening its mouth and biting Xibinai in demonstration.

"Fire! Where's the fire?! Bring me the fire! I'll burn you now!" Xibinai angrily ran to the lantern fish trap and grabbed a large fire pot in one breath. Because the Black Eclipse Dragon was to be imprisoned, Yetro had already told Emperor Xingdeng in advance to move all clan members out of Pearl Lake, so now there are no employees to kill fish here.

Xibinai's sudden move to hug the brazier made a group of people watching on the plank road feel dumbfounded, but they all saw that there was indeed some trace of communication between Xibinai and the Black Eclipse Dragon.

Just like the Black Eclipse Dragon can understand human language, it is unknown why Sibinai can understand the Black Eclipse Dragon's language. Anyway, when Sibinai placed the brazier next to the cage and pulled a torch in each hand, the black dragon flinched slightly, but it still stubbornly raised its head, breathed out from its nostrils, and shouted angrily: "Villain! You villain! Come in if you dare! I'll bite you to death!"

"Come out if you are brave enough!!! Burn you! Burn you!" Xibinai jumped up in anger and threw a torch directly towards the cage. It fell next to the cage, and the blazing flames licked the thick wooden cage. .

The black eclipse dragon trembled with fright, and hurriedly leaned down and blew into the flames, saying helplessly: "Okay, okay! Didn't your childhood teach you compassion?!"

"Say quickly! Where are you from? What are you doing here?!" Xibinai held up a torch again, pointed at the black dragon and shouted.

The size of the wooden cage could not allow the Black Eclipse Dragon to stand up. It could only lie down with its head lowered and said to Xibinai: "I was just born in this forest recently. After waking up, I vaguely felt that there was a person nearby. Delicious food attracted me, and my instinct told me that I could grow up by eating that food. I came here while hunting, and then I was defeated by that food.”

"Being defeated by food? What a shame." Xibinai left a happy taunt and ran back to Yetro, leaving her back to the black dragon who was roaring and chewing on the pillar. After hearing Xibinai's reply, Jetro asked softly: "Then little Chiyo will tell it again that it is a prisoner now, and the prisoner can only atone for his sins by working. Therefore, if it is willing to work obediently, Give it something to eat, and if you don’t want to, just starve it, okay?”

"Okay! The obedient one is my friend. If it doesn't obey, burn it to death!" Xibinai accepted Yetro's opinion with her own understanding ability, so when Xibinai returned to the Black Eclipse Dragon again to convey her own After the will, the black eclipse dragon was obviously depressed.

Perhaps it was due to the culture of the Great Chik Empire or the influence of the bloodline of the Chiyo family. Under Xibinai's coercion and inducement, this black dragon, which was still just a child, temporarily entered into a prisoner-of-war relationship with Yetro: Party A must Party B provides room and board, and Party B must serve Party A for ten years before returning to freedom.

Among them, there is a very important clause within the scope of food and accommodation - Yetro must provide psychic energy to the Black Eclipse Dragon on a regular basis. This is also the main reason why Xibinai Chiyo can reach an agreement with the Black Eclipse Dragon - Xibinai Knowing how her family controls monsters, she naturally also understands what the "delicious food" in the Black Eclipse Dragon's mouth actually wants to eat - that is, psychic energy.

If humans want to give their spiritual energy to monsters, the easiest way is to feed them. Therefore, the existence of "psionic control medium" also allows psychic energy to be fed to monsters without harming lives. As for why Black Eclipse Dragon thinks Yetro is the most delicious, Yetro himself guesses that it may be because the spiritual energy in him is a foreign object and is very pure. Just like other people's psychic powers are artificially raised, with some unnatural elements, his psychic powers are wild, exuding natural fragrance from the inside out.

The biggest advantage of negotiating with monsters is that there is no need to make a contract. The monsters all have their own pride, especially the ancient dragons. Their contract spirit is like the rules carried by the dream itself and will not be exceeded - this is what Xibinai guaranteed with the eighteen generations of his ancestors. When Xibinai Chiyo, a seven-year-old girl, showed great abilities, everyone was willing to believe in her "professional ability", so Yetro discussed with everyone and released the Black Erosion Dragon .

As soon as the black eclipse dragon was untied, it raised its head high. After breathing the "free" air for a while, it flapped its huge wings and couldn't help but roared to the sky, attracting everyone. They were all shocked and lost consciousness. Fortunately, Jetro knew how to carry earplugs with him now, but the temporary earplugs wrapped in tissue were obviously ineffective, and he was still stunned.

As soon as the Black Eclipse Dragon showed an active posture, its body began to scatter black scale powder. These scale powder floated in all directions with the wind. It was completely uncontrollable behavior by it - this is what Yetro asked Dao'er to study. There is a problem that must be solved when dealing with the Black Erosion Dragon - according to Qiu Guang, these scale powders are like the spores of those strange mushrooms. When inhaled by other monsters, they will change their body structure, causing them to go crazy and die.

Besides Yetro, the Black Eclipse Dragon's favorite food is the corpses of monsters infected by it. At this time, the members of the hunting team dragged a half-blackened body of a Barbarosaurus from the lake. The Black Eclipse walked along the plank road to the ground floor. It relied on the scattered scale powder to distinguish the surrounding scenery, so it could distinguish the surrounding scenery. Knowing that there was "delicious" food waiting for it in a certain area by the lake, it walked slowly and ate there. It seems that the dragon's life in the next ten years can be glimpsed in the current changes.
