Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Shiina Riki is not a fool, of course she can understand the implication of what Naruse Ritsu just said.

She also watched documentaries about wild animals when she was a child.

In those natural videos that record the struggle of natural selection, there is never a lack of cruel stories. As bystanders, the people who record these videos never choose to intervene.

Shiina Riki, who used to not understand why they would watch someone die without helping, now understands the reason.

So when she heard what Ritsu Narose said, she took the initiative to suppress the anger in her heart and tried to force herself to accept this fact.

But now...

"The scabbard and the ankylosaur belong to nature, but the hunter and the ancient dragon also belong here." Looking at the one-handed sword carried by Shiina Ritsuki on his waist, Naruse Ritsu said so.

"The stork used its exceptional stamina to steal the Ankylosaur eggs, so it's understandable that we, who are faster than it, would snatch the eggs from it."

"This clever and cunning creature will take the stolen eggs back to the nest to eat them, so if you go and grab them now, there's still time, right?"

Turning around and looking at the Ankylosaurus that had turned back, Shiina Riki no longer thought about whether it was right to measure animals with human emotions. She now just wanted to do what was right for her.

"I want to get the egg back."

Without any hesitation, she seemed to have returned to the sharp look she had when Ritsu Narose first met her.

But now Shiina Riki is no longer as impatient as he was back then. Instead, he will think carefully before making a decision.

"Even if the egg is tainted with another scent, it might not be recognized by its original mother?"

"Even so, it's better than regretting it in the future."

When the final question and answer session ended, the silver gun wings were revealed in the sunlight.

102. All conquests begin at the edge

In order to avoid being targeted by their victims, the thieves usually change the place where they steal.

Whether this is a lesson etched in instinct or a learned habit is unknown. Most people who have seen a stork know only that it is particularly good at moving long distances.

The brown figure was running hurriedly across the wasteland, and its protective color almost blended in with the environment.

After leaping over the cliff in the wasteland and running back to its nest under the vigilant gaze of other small creatures, it still did not let its guard down.

Instead of rushing to dig open the delicious food in front of it, it looked around with its big green eyes, trying to find out any possible lurking around the nest.

If we use an idiom to describe it, then the four words "judge others by yourself" are the most appropriate.

After looking around for a few times and finding no suspicious traces, it shook its head and stared at the ankylosaur egg tightly held in its front paws.

Closing its eyes and taking a deep breath of fragrance, this scratching bird looks quite ritualistic.

However, it was this ritualistic action that caused it to completely miss the delicious food in its hand.

Just like when the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside while doing handicrafts, a sharp pain suddenly came from the tip of the tail, and the scratching bird, which had just relaxed its vigilance, was frightened and jumped on the spot.

You should know that the muscles in the hind legs of the jay are very developed.

It is this well-trained muscle that supports its swift egg-stealing technique.

And at this moment, it was this body that it trusted most that caused it to make a mistake and hit its head on the ceiling of the nest.

The ankylosaur egg in its hand was also thrown aside by its panic-stricken behavior.

However, there was no sound of cracking eggs, and no smell of egg liquid filled the air.

Turning its head, the scratching bird saw that its food was secretly snatched away by a small creature.

It always steals other people's eggs, but today its eggs were robbed right in front of it?

It's hard to imagine seeing a human-like expression on the face of an ornithopod, but the shocked look on the ornithopod's face is certainly quite funny.

It even forgot who had caused the pain behind it.

So, it took its toll.

The knife flashed, and the feathers on its head were cut off at the roots.

As its once bright orange feathers fell to the ground, the bald bird became a special individual.

"Gah-"

In an instant, the bird's attention was attracted by Ritsu Narusha who jumped in.

Seeing the culprit, its dizzy mind immediately cleared up. It then fell into a state of rage, screaming and waving its front paws, wanting to tear the creature that provoked it to pieces.

However, this straightforward action, like a child's fight, couldn't hurt Riku Narose at all.

A true katana user will calculate the distance accurately, judge the trajectory of the monster's attack and dodge in time, and finally take advantage of the monster's failure to retract the attack in time to launch an attack.

In practice, it's nothing more than seeing the sword, cutting back, and -

Dragon energy sprays a huge spin!

The gun wings behind him suddenly burst out with dragon energy, and the acceleration provided made Mingse Ritsu's attack range much farther than that of ordinary hunters.

Instead of attacking the front claws of the tickling bird, in order to prevent it from turning around and targeting Shiina Riki on the other side when it sees the situation is not good, Ritsu Naruse decided to destroy its hind legs first to reduce its ability to move.

The wound made by the blade was deeper than the first cut on the tail, and drops of blood splattered on the ground as the tip of the knife cut through the air.

When he was about to retract his attack, the next back-foot kick from Zaoniao was already coming towards him.

The prey thought it had caught a weak opportunity, but it had no idea that the sweet bait thrown by the fisherman was just to lure stupid creatures like it into taking the bait.

The gun wings, like thrusters, burst out with astonishing speed again, leaving only a crimson afterimage lingering briefly in the air.

After dodging the attack, Ritsu Narose also slightly entered the combat state.

Unlike a hunter swinging a katana, where the momentum progresses layer by layer, one needs to raise the momentum to the top step by step.

After the active dragon energy in Ritsu Naruse's body erupted, the originally smooth and bright blade was covered with a layer of flame-like gas that looked like a blazing fire.

If you use your main body to attack, creatures like the scratching bird will die on sight.

But since he was fighting as a hunter, Ritsu Narose didn't mind restraining his strength and hitting a few more moves.

Shiina Riki, who caught the dragon egg not far away, was still struggling to carry the big thing and had not yet created a safe distance.

Ritsu Narose was not surprised either. After all, the eggs of the ankylosaur were quite heavy - even some hunters would find it difficult to hold them.

He flicked the knife casually and turned his attention to the scratching bird in front of him, which was already beginning to retreat.

Obviously, it realized that the creature in front of it was a bit tricky.

But Ritsu Narose had no interest in staring at it.

With a horizontal slash of the sword, the activated dragon energy seemed to transform into a vicious beast craving for food. Like a cancer attached to the bone, it penetrated deep into the muscles and bones along the wound cut by the blade, wantonly corroding the body that had never been destroyed by the dragon energy since birth.

Not even a drop of blood was spilled, and the left leg of the scratching bird was completely controlled by the burning dragon energy.

Yilingyi-Strange Stories 5) (Nine) Eight The shrill screams continued incessantly, and Mingse Ritsu only felt that it was noisy.

The tip of the knife picked up a piece of gravel and then hit it into the bird's beak like a baseball, making its originally high-pitched cry stop.

Finally, it could no longer suppress the fear in its heart.

Every muscle in its body was screaming, and every piece of skin was shaking and trembling. This bird, which had only seen ceratopsians from afar in its life, finally discovered that there were even more terrifying creatures in the world than the desert tyrant.

It didn't have the courage to fight back at all. The little courage it had left was only enough for it to move its injured hind legs and escape desperately like the ankylosaur that had been chasing it not long ago.

But why did Ritsu Narose let it go?

He suddenly realized that it would be easier to chop it off with a knife than to keep Shiina Riki away from this guy.

Before it could run a few steps, the dragon energy attached to its legs exploded, causing the fleeing bird to fall to the ground.

Although Riku Narusha believes that judging other creatures is an extremely arrogant act, it does not prevent him from expressing his own likes and dislikes.

He would not despise the nature of this bird-dragon species that was born to steal - of course, he did not have any good feelings towards it either.

Holding the knife, he walked in front of the struggling bird that was shaking its head and kicking its legs, and then Ritsu Narose swung the last knife in an ordinary way.

Whether it was the bird's body or its struggling head flying in the air - the blood spurting out of them was burned by the dragon's energy.

At this moment, the originally noisy cave returned to silence after its owner left.

Then, only two voices appeared in no particular order:

One was the sound of the head, which had not yet closed its eyes and seemed to be still alive, falling to the ground;

The other was the noise made by Shiina Riki when he turned around and saw this scene.

103. Such a hypocritical couple

After putting down the dragon egg in his arms under the vigilant gaze of a group of ankylosaurs, Shiina Riki slowly retreated and did not stay near their nest.

But she didn't go too far away. Standing on a nearby platform, Shiina Riki could clearly see the ankylosaurs that went out to drink water and eat grass coming back to take over the shift with the ankylosaurs stationed in the nest.

And the ankylosaur egg rescued by Mingse Ritsu was just as he had said before, no ankylosaur came to claim it.

Looking back at Narose Ritsu who was standing in a daze a few meters away, Shiina Riki suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Why are you standing so far away?"

"Because I think it's better for us to keep our distance."

"……what?"

Glancing at Shiina Riki, Naruse Ritsu asked, "Do you want to take that egg back?"

"We'll talk about the eggs later. First, explain clearly what 'keeping distance' means!"

He walked quickly to the front of Ritsu Narose. Although Shiina Riki was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, his aura at this moment was unexpectedly hard to ignore.

"You were the one who approached me at first, and now you're saying 'keep your distance'—are you looking down on me?!"

"Well, maybe it's because the impact just now was a bit too strong?"

After all, in front of this girl who most likely has never killed a chicken before, directly beheading a three-meter-tall bird... isn't this a bit inappropriate?

After hearing what Ritsu Narose revealed, the fire that Shiina Riki had ignited suddenly dimmed a little.

Having said that, even if Shiina Riki was slow-witted, she would understand where Naruse Ritsu's concerns came from.

However, her long-standing habits prevented her from uttering any gentle words, nor did she possess the ability to analyze other people's minds like Ritsu Narose.

After thinking for a long time, she finally said two words:

"Pretentious."

"What a pity! I'm such a hypocritical person~"

As if mocking himself, Naruse Ritsu suddenly revealed an inexplicable smile. He then looked at the lonely dragon egg not far away and asked again, "What are you going to do now, Ritsu? Are you going to make it into an omelet?"

"?"

With eyes wide open, Shiina Riki looked at Naruse Ritsu in astonishment, as if he couldn't accept the hellish joke he had just said.

"Don't look at me like that. The fried eggs that Lixi ate yesterday morning were also herbivorous dragon eggs. In the end, they're not much different from an armored dragon egg."

"B-but these are two different things!"

"Yes."

"what?"

"So I was just kidding~"

Noticing Shiina Riki's fists clenched again, Naruse Ritsu felt even happier. But everything should be done in moderation, and after dispelling his inner unhappiness, Naruse Ritsu turned the topic back to business.

"Since Li Xi chose to save this egg, he must assume the corresponding responsibilities."

Some careless humans may even take the wrong newborn baby in the hospital, so we don't need to be too harsh on creatures like ankylosaurs.

Unlike humans who can distinguish things through intellect and memory, the ability of ankylosaurs to distinguish is based on the smells they are familiar with.

The original scent that remained on it had long been covered by other factors. Now the egg that was stolen by the scratching bird and secretly taken away by Shiina Riki was naturally not as recognizable as before.

"Doesn't this mean that—"

"Pretentious."

Hearing the words he had just used to attack Ritsu Narose turn into a boomerang and hit him on the head, Shiina Ritsuki shrank his head slightly with a guilty conscience.

"Instead of thinking about that, Lixi should think about what to do with this egg."

"I……"
