Monster life starting from picking up materials

Chapter 42: Wind Strike, Killed in Seconds

This series of actions makes sense on a human, but on a monster—

Perhaps the ancient dragon people only felt the terrifying solemnity when they thought about it carefully?

Thinking this, Ji Jie tentatively threw the walnut toward the ground in front of him, as if luring a kitten or puppy that was afraid to eat the food in his hand.

Seeing this walnut that could be used as a natural fragmentation grenade being thrown out, the ancient dragon man jumped back lightly, allowing Ji Jie to see the arched foot hidden by the straw raincoat, a physiological structure that was different between the dragon people and humans.

But because the walnut was not cracked and the force was very light, it did not explode like a fragmentation grenade.

The dragon man glanced at the walnut on the ground, and his gaze seemed to turn back to observe him.

Ji Jie scratched his head in embarrassment, and the old man then bent down, picked up the walnut, wiped it and put it away.

The two of them were back to staring at each other in bewilderment. Ji Jie didn't know what to do, while the ancient dragon man's curiosity was obvious, and he was making the most straightforward observation.

The dragon people possess superior intelligence, which is often accompanied by curiosity and develops into wisdom because of curiosity.

Ancient dragon people should also be dragon people, and the dragon people as a race generally have a longer lifespan.

Most dragon people have a physique similar to that of normal people when they grow up. There are also some dragon people with particularly large bodies, but generally their bodies shrink with age until they are about the same size as orcs.

Often at this time, the wisdom of the dragon people reaches its peak along with their experience, and they will become respected elders.

Although the ancient dragon man's appearance was obscured and could not be seen, judging from his body shape and the name given by the Future Investigation Team, he was obviously an old man.

Some rain was blown in by the wind and hit the ancient dragon man.

"Goo."

Tengumon waved his hand, and the alien soul in his body was inviting him to come and take shelter from the rain.

"..."

The ancient dragon man was saying something, but Ji Jie couldn't understand it. He could only spread his hands and shake his head. Combined with the facial expression brought by his eyes, this was an easily understandable gesture of confusion.

The ancient dragon man understood, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly approached driven by curiosity, his eyes lingering on Ji Jie and the fire dragon cub.

Ji Jie sniffed and was surprised to find that the ancient dragon man did not have a strong biological smell. In addition, his emerald green body made him extremely difficult to be discovered in the forest.

The ancient dragon man walked to the foot of the wall. The man and the monster were like strangers taking shelter from the rain together under the station. They didn't say a word, but the ancient dragon man liked to stare at him. Ji Jie was not used to it, and this made him always want to give some feedback.

Tieguo raised its wings and tried to get closer to the ancient dragon man, but Jijie simply grabbed its tail with his tail.

But the ancient dragon man moved a little closer, and as he looked up and down, he seemed to have completed his observation of the young fire dragon.

"roar~"

A roar revealed that the creatures that wanted to hide from the rain were not limited to the dragon people and tengu beasts.

A stork with its feathers drooping wetly came in and roared at them.

Like the ancient dragon people, it showed great concern for Ji Jie, but more attention was paid to the bag of eggs.

This scratching bird was much larger than the first one Jijie encountered, and the young dragons couldn't even reach its knees.

Tengumon was about the same size as it, so the scraggly bird rushed over with its eyes on the eggs.

The food arrived.

Ji Jie felt his pocket and found that he had brought quite a few flying walnuts.

The most natural fragmentation grenade exploded accurately on the bird's head, and the flying walnut shells made it close its eyes subconsciously.

When he opened his eyes after stumbling, the strange-looking monster had already jumped and hugged his long neck.

While Ji Jie was holding the bird's neck, his flexible and powerful long tail tightly wrapped around one of the bird's front paws and locked onto its shoulder.

Tengumon's beak locked onto the bird's neck, but due to its weak bite force, it couldn't open its throat.

Realizing that his vital parts were locked, the bird began to struggle hard with its hands and feet dancing.

On the other side, the two young dragons that had lost their restraints finally came to the ancient dragon man.

Although he didn't open his mouth to bite, out of vigilance, the ancient dragon man flexibly turned his cane, hitting the two young dragons' heads back and forth with the cane, and then bounced back into his hand.

The two young dragons could not move forward and retreated after growling softly.

This also made the ancient dragon people realize that the two guys had not grown all their teeth, and their attention returned to the season of fighting with the scratching birds.

Turning around, he saw Tengumon loosen its beak and raise its claws to hit the scratching bird in the face.

The clawed tail regained its support on the ground and found the point of force. Ji Jie exerted force with his arms, and the power of the beast dragon species that should not belong to the tooth beast species burst out, directly throwing the scratching bird to the ground.

Tengumon, known as a warrior monk, used one arm to pin the bird down into the wet mud, and raised his other arm, clenched it into a fist, and punched the bird's eyes repeatedly.

Although the Tiangou beast is covered with fur and its muscles are not obvious, it has a sense of fierceness like Lu Zhishen punching Zhen Guanxi.

It’s true that Lu Zhishen later became a monk. He used a series of swift attacks to kill the enemy in seconds.

After several consecutive heavy blows, the bird had no chance of turning the tables and could only die while wailing.

Tengumon is quite playful, and can be very vicious and vicious when fighting.

Ji Jie stopped the inertia of his movements and resisted the meaningless thought of hitting the corpse's head a few more times. Instead, he dragged the bird's body back to its original position.

The wooden ladle and washbasin were pressed down by Ji Jie's tail with his load, and he couldn't move them. The iron pot and porcelain bowl were tucked under his wings, and then he was led away by the dead body of the scratching bird. He climbed onto the body and tried to eat with his weak claws.

When he turned around, the ancient dragon man was still observing him.

His fur was wet from the fight just now, so he used his tail to prop up his body and shook his body to shake off the water droplets from his fur.

"..."

The ancient dragon man made a series of sounds again, and his eyes followed Ji Jie, watching him tear open the scales of the scratching bird, pull off the meat, roll it into balls and feed it to the fire dragon cub.

"Cuckoo~"

Ji Jie tore off a piece of meat, held it in his hand and handed it to the ancient dragon man.

The dragon man stared at the meat, and the curtain of his hat swayed as he shook his head to express his rejection.

Ji Jie took back the hanging meat, rolled some meatballs into his own and put them into his mouth.

With his head lowered, he saw a wooden stick stretched out to him. It was the walking stick of the ancient dragon man, and on the joint of the walking stick was a sticky black block with a waxy surface.

Ji Jie stretched out two fingers to pinch the irregular round and square pill, and held it in front of his eyes to look at it.

It is definitely a secret medicine, but it is not certain whether it is ancient.

Secret medicine is a kind of medicine that hunters can mix and use in the game. It can increase the hunter's physical strength to the maximum and fully restore it.

The ancient secret medicine, in addition to its effect on physical strength, can also increase endurance to the maximum and fully restore it.

Both are indispensable medicines in hunting and are good things. I don’t know if they will be useful for him.

How to mix the secret medicine? Ji Jie recalled.

A nutrient blended from bitter worms and blue mushrooms, then mixed with honey to increase its potency to large, and finally added with a mushroom called Datura.

It should be like this, pay attention to the material, and when you meet the ancient dragon man later, ask him to play it on the spot.

Chapter 43 Death in infancy

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The green dome could not bear the weight of the rain, and the wind blew the rain in.

Ji Jie dragged the scratching bird and led the young dragons into the mountain, and the ancient dragon people did the same.

Although they had a friendly initial contact, the man and the monster maintained a very cautious social distance.

The rain covered up the ancient dragon man's muttering. Even if it hadn't been covered up, Ji Jie wouldn't have been able to understand anything from the rustling of leaves.

A sunken rock cave covered by vines appeared under the mountain, and some old traces indicated that this place was created by monster activities.

It should be a collision, right? It's perfect for sheltering from the rain.

There were some exposed crystalline minerals on the inner side of the rock wall. Tengumon punched it and the minerals shattered. Lacking relevant knowledge, it was difficult for him to determine what kind of minerals these were.

These minerals are different from the crystals at the bottom of the lake and are currently useless.

"..."

This time, Ji Jie heard the voice of the ancient dragon man clearly and saw that his cane was pointing at the dragon egg held by Tengumon's tail.

"What do you mean?"

Ji Jie just let out a confused "Gu?" and then put the egg on the ground.

One of the eggs shook a little when it slipped out of his hand. Ji Jie was a little unsure, so he pointed at the egg specifically to the ancient dragon man, and then pointed at the fire dragons.

The ancient dragon man nodded.

Ji Jie put the egg aside and waited quietly, not knowing whether the rain would stop first or a new life would be born first.

It seemed that the humid environment made the eggshell as silent as a quagmire, and the egg did not shake again.

Recalling the changes in the egg when the fire dragon was born, it is indeed time for the baby dragon in this egg to be born.

But the eggshell was not dry, but rather a little cool because of the moisture.

Ji Jie held the egg in his arms, trying to raise the temperature.

The ancient dragon man walked closer, his eyes exploring the gender of the monster before him.

After losing their offspring, some creatures may feed picked-up eggs or even stones out of grief.

The monster before him displayed an intelligence that was not at all like that of a monster.

When facing him, this intelligence was expressed with kindness, but when facing the scratching bird, it used its intelligence aggressively and killed it quickly.

There are indeed creatures in the ecosystem that are hostile to creatures of the same system or even larger than themselves, but kind to creatures smaller than themselves.

I have lived in the ancient tree zone for so many years, and I have never seen such creatures in conversations with my fellow tribesmen. A single case is not enough to represent an entire species.

Being well-informed, he firmly believed that this was the wisdom of the individual rather than the habits of the species.

It was a bit regrettable that he couldn't tell the gender of the monster because of its fur.

The vague mystery behind the ambiguous gender made him even more curious.

The ancient dragon man walked slightly closer to observe the egg, but he was much more cautious and obscure in his observation of the egg. Most creatures are extremely protective of their eggs, and female monsters in the breeding period are extremely aggressive.

There is no doubt that the fire dragon egg in the monster's arms has little hope of hatching. Any creature that takes care of a species that is not a relative is bound to make mistakes.

Ji Jie thought for a moment, and his intuition told him that the baby dragon in the egg had died.

He handed the dragon egg to the ancient dragon man and placed it in front of him. He pointed at the egg with one claw and then at several fire dragon cubs.

He was confirming his guess with the ancient dragon man.

"..."

After a while of mumbling, the ancient dragon man nodded.

"..."

Ji Jie fell into silence, the feeling of regret was stronger than the slightest sadness.

So what should you do with this egg? Crack it open? Eat it?

When he ate eggs in his previous life, he didn't like the hairy eggs where the embryo developed into a larva and was made into food. He didn't like to eat them or see them. Generally, he would avoid them when he came across them and would not disturb others while they were eating.

The egg was pushed to the ancient dragon man. The egg was already half the size of the old dragon man. It was unknown whether he could take it away. If he couldn't, he would just leave it behind.

The dragon man did not pick up the egg, but he did not express rejection as he would when faced with meat.

Ji Jie turned to look at the other eggs. The dragonlets that were about to be born were almost all there. The remaining ones that had not yet been born were probably congenitally weak or dead eggs.

If the young dragons, which are born weaker, are not properly protected during this heavy rain, it will be even more difficult for them to survive.

After comparing them, he sent the two eggs that were probably dead to the ancient dragon man.

Even if they survive, they are born weak, and it is difficult to raise too many of them.

At this point, there are only two dragon eggs left that can be used as food.

The rain was still falling, and the rainwater gathered into small streams on the ground, flowing in the direction they came from. Ji Jie also used this little water to wash the meat oil off his hands.

There was no dry firewood here to make Ji Jie angry, so he ate a dragon egg raw.

The rain lasted for a long time, so long that the ancient dragon man pushed the eggs and waded through the water, and he only took one egg away.

Not long after he left, the rain got heavier again. He didn't know if such a small person would be washed away by the rain.

There are more mosquitoes in places where you can hide from the rain. The monsters here are not afraid of being bitten, and the bigger ones can be killed directly by the giant giant phoenix.
