Chapter 5

The dragon cub looked young, but his momentum was not weak, and he flew towards the beast angrily.

The beast's limbs were trembling, and he turned around and fled quickly.

Ning Chu was in shock. The folding knife he was holding tightly in his hand was about to dig into the flesh, and when he released it, his palm was almost unconscious.

He looked at the young dragon in front of him and said in a daze: "Cub?"

The three cubs folded their wings and crouched on the ground, their round black pupils also looking at him.

This look is not wrong.

Although he didn't know why the three cubs suddenly became smaller, Ning Chu instantly determined that this was the three cubs.

The young dragon squatted on the spot coldly, and the pair of claws buckled into the blade of grass revealed its uneasy mood.

As soon as Ning Chu entered the forest, it knew.

It originally didn't want to appear in the form of a child, so it quietly followed Ning Chu all the way, wanting to observe and observe this human being.

Until Ning Chu was in danger, the three cubs rushed out of the bushes as soon as their brains became hot.

It is a little annoyed, even if it wants to help this human being, it should not be so reckless and completely expose its secrets.

Thinking of this, the three cubs breathed slightly, and there was a trace of killing intent in their eyes.

If there is something wrong with this human...he doesn't even think about walking out of this forest today.

However, in the next instant, Ning Chu rushed up and hugged it tightly.

The soft clothes were sticking to the tip of the nose, and the three cubs could vaguely smell the fragrance of plants and trees stained on the cloth.

"I knew you were here... I thought I wouldn't be able to see you today," Ning Chu was extremely excited, disregarding the pain in his left shoulder, picked up the three cubs and looked around him, nervously said, "Why are you getting smaller again? Is it because of the body? There is no discomfort, right?"

The back of the three cubs is stiff, and it has not been hugged like this for a long, long time.

Ning Chu still had a lot of things to ask, but before he could say it, he caught a glimpse of a faint trace on the scales on the front of the three cubs, and was immediately stunned.

He touched the trace lightly with his fingertips, and then carefully examined the three cubs, and found some scars of different shades on the back, dragon wings and claws one after another.

There are also on the dragon horns. These wounds have already healed, but the scars remain.

Ning Chu's eyes were sore. It must have been a long time since he had a car accident and passed by. He couldn't imagine how the little dragon cubs grew up stumblingly and what grievances they suffered after he left.

He sighed, "I'm sorry...and, thank you for saving me just now."

The three cubs were still as quiet as they were, and did not react at all to Ning Chu's words.

Ning Chu became uncertain again, and asked cautiously, "Sansan, do you still remember me?"

The three cubs flicked their tails, which means approval.

Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief and hugged it again.

The little baby dragon is not heavy to hold, Ning Chu can easily hold it under the dragon wing and lift it up, with a beautiful face close.

This is his previous habit. There is an interactive action called "rub face" in the game. Ning Chu usually likes to use it. After clicking it, the game character will pick up the dragon cub like him and tilt his head to rub it.

When he was still in the game, Ning Chu was expressionless and stiff in the eyes of the dragon cubs. Now he looks a lot more normal and fresh, and his movements are still familiar.

The three cubs watched Ning Chu get closer and closer, stretched out a front paw and pressed it on Ning Chu's face coldly, preventing him from making the next move.

I am no longer a cub, so it is not suitable to do this kind of thing again.

The three cubs showed obvious resistance, and Ning Chu had to give up.

He comforted himself that it was normal for him to become rusty after not seeing each other for so long.

He was attacked by a demon beast just now, and when he fell, there were several scratches on his palm. The three cubs looked down and saw it, sniffed at the blood oozing skin, and exhaled a dragon's breath.

With the help of the dragon's breath, the wound quickly healed and recovered as before, as if nothing had happened.

Ning Chu's eyes widened, and the three cubs climbed onto his shoulder again and healed the injury on his left shoulder.

"It doesn't hurt at all," Ning Chu moved his left shoulder and sighed, "It's amazing."

He said with a slightly lost expression: "Unlike me, I can't even learn the simplest magic."

The mall has not been unlocked, and the resurrection of the five cubs is still far away...

Thinking of this, Ning Chu said hesitantly, "Sansan, do you know where the other dragons and cubs are? Also, is Xiaowu..."

He said with difficulty: "Not anymore?"

Hearing the words, San Zai raised his head and stared at Ning Chu, not letting go of every subtle expression on his face.

The Ning Chu in front of him only appeared a few days ago. He is just an ordinary human being and can't even beat a small monster. How did he know that Xiao Wu was gone?

The three cubs looked suspicious, and the killing intent was revealed again. If Ning Chu said a wrong word next...

Ning Chu didn't know anything about this, he was a little sad, his eyes lowered: "What happened? I saw it the day I first came here..."

He felt that his strength was too weak: "I have games and can resurrect Xiaowu, but the currency is not enough... The money that can be earned every day is too little."

resurrection? The three cubs quietly raised their paws and put them down again, their eyes widened.

It couldn't understand what Ning Chu said about "game" and "currency", but Ning Chu said that Xiao Wu can be resurrected.

The three cubs were visibly excited, turned around on Ning Chu's legs, and even took the initiative to rub the back of his hand.

It confirmed that this is 'Ning'.

Besides 'Ning', who else has such divine power to revive Xiao Wu who has died.

The three cubs wanted to tell Wusi this information immediately, but unfortunately he has left the academy today and will not be able to return for a while, and the other dragons are not there.

Seeing this, Ning Chu lightly raised the corners of his lips and said in a low voice, "You miss it too, don't you?"

He couldn't communicate directly with San Zai, and could only rely on guesswork. San Zai didn't seem to have any intention of taking him to find other rare dragons. Most of them were not nearby, or San Zai didn't know where they were.

Ning Chu temporarily pressed the idea of ​​looking for other dragons, let go of the three cubs and got up to pick up the Xumuguo that rolled on the ground.

Some of the fruits were broken, and these commission offices would not accept them, so he had to look for them again.

The three cubs watched Ning Chu collect the fruits, and heard him say, "Thirty fruits can be exchanged for two gold coins, and when you collect five hundred coins... Xiaowu will be resurrected."

It listened silently, its tail wiggling behind it.

Ning Chu was about to continue picking fruit. He half-squatted down in front of the three cubs: "You won't suddenly fly away today, will you?"

The three cubs tilted their heads, and after a while, they flew to his shoulders and squatted.

In the past, when Ning Chu went up the mountain to chop down trees to feed animals, the three cubs liked to squat on his shoulders or lie on top of his head.

Now that the game has become a reality, Ning Chu raised his hand and squeezed the little paws of the three cubs, carrying the cloth bag and heading into the forest.

I don't know if it was because of the three cubs, Ning Chu didn't encounter any monsters in the forest, and successfully found the Xumuguo he needed for the assignment.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ning Chu said reluctantly, "I'm going back."

"I'm a student of Lance College now, and I'm only free every afternoon," Ning Chu hesitated, "I'll come over tomorrow, you won't leave, cub?"

If possible, he would like to take the three cubs back together, but there are many people in the school, and there are bloggers in the dormitory, so it is inconvenient to think about it.

The three cubs nodded, indicating that they would not go.

Ning Chu immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then why don't you wait for me here tomorrow?"

The three cubs nodded again, raised one side of the dragon wings, and touched Ning Chu's side face affectionately: "woo-"

Ning Chu seemed to understand what it meant and touched its head: "I miss you too."

One person and one dragon said goodbye at the entrance of the forest. Ning Chu waved his hand and watched the three cubs turn around and fly away, disappearing into the woods.

He walked for a while, took the monster car that passed along the way back to the academy, and came to the dispatch office to settle the bill.

It was still a complete set of 30 Xumugu. After the staff counted them, they joked: "Sure enough, you are so lucky every time?"

The magic dragon appeared, and the academy issued a notice to tell the students to try not to get too close to it. There have been fewer senior delegations in the Mysterious Capital Forest these days.

A first-level delegation like Picking Xumuguo is a powerful one, but he doesn't look down on it. Only Ning Chu, a first-year student, has the courage to go for two days in a row and nothing happens.

Ning Chu responded vaguely: "This assignment has always been there, right? I come every day, can you reserve it for me?"

The staff said readily: "Yes."

"Reserve what?"

A voice sounded, and Ning Chu turned his head and saw a familiar face.

It was the students in the morning practice class who stepped forward and raised their eyebrows: "I'm not mistaken, Xiuning is actually accepting assignments?"

His eyes turned to the delegation card on the table, and the red stamp was pressed on the card, indicating that the settlement had been successfully completed.

The words "Mystery Capital Forest" were written on the task bar, and the student's face changed. When he looked at Ning Chu again, his eyes were uncertain: "You...you came back from a trip to Mystery Capital Forest, how did you change so much?"

In his understanding, Ning Chu probably didn't even dare to approach the Mystery Forest. During this time, there were still dragons haunting, how could he dare?

He even thought to himself, did Ning Chu find some treasures in it that time, and quietly improved his strength.

Ning Chu tilted his head to look at him for a moment, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly, "Guess what?"

He stood against the light, and his brown pupils were much dimmed. When this familiar face made a completely different expression from before, it looked a little weird.

The student felt an inexplicable chill down his spine and could not help but take a step back.

He didn't want to talk to Ning Chu any more, he took his companion and left in a hurry.

After they left, Ning Chu calmed down, thanked the staff of the commission office, and left.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ning Chu came to Ya Market on time, took the delegation card and went to the Mystery City Forest.

Knowing that the three cubs would be waiting for him in the forest, Ning Chu was in a good mood.

Entering the forest, Ning Chu shouted, "Three-three?"

A red shadow appeared in response, flexibly avoiding the branches and flying in the direction of Ning Chu.

Ning Chu opened his arms and caught the three cubs who flew into his arms.

The three cubs stabilized and flew around him, stopping on a branch beside him.

Ning Chu took out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket: "I brought you something to eat."

This is prepared for the students in the cafeteria. Each person can only take one. Ning Chu was reluctant to eat it, so he kept it all for the three cubs.

The beef jerky has a lot of weight, it has to be as long as half a three cub, Ning Chu said to himself: "Is it a bit bigger? I will help you tear it..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the red giant dragon appeared in vain, and a large tract of trees behind him were overwhelmed, and the surrounding air became scorching hot.

Ning Chu looked up at the three cubs who had changed back to their adult form, and said dumbly, "Tear apart..."

The giant dragon lowered his head and gently took the beef jerky from his hand without even a single swallow.

Ning Chu put down his empty hand: "Okay..."

The three cubs lowered their heads again, lowered the back of their necks, and spit out dragon breath from the tip of their noses.

Ning Chu guessed: "You... are you going to let me sit on it?"

The three cubs didn't move, Ning Chu tried to touch the scales on the side of its neck, stepped on the front paws and climbed up with difficulty.

Without a tool to fix his body, Ning Chu carefully moved to the top of Sanzi's head and hugged the dragon horn on its side.

The three cubs will not do this for no reason. It is estimated that they want to take him somewhere. Ning Chu hugged the dragon horn tightly: "Okay."

The giant dragon's body temperature is high, and its scales and rough horns are slightly hot. It takes care of Ning Chu, and spreads its wings very slowly to the sky.

The woods below were getting farther and farther in sight. Ning Chu just lowered his head and didn't dare to look again. His heart was beating wildly, and he realized that he was really sitting on a faucet, and his excitement surged up dully.

In the past, he was not in good health and could not do sports that would consume too much physical energy, nor was it too exciting. Ning Chu grew up so big that he had never even played a roller coaster.

When he came to another world, the magical creature he raised in the game became a reality, and he would take him to the sky. Such an experience used to only appear in dreams.

The three cubs flew very steadily, and it could sense that Ning Chu was in a good mood, so he deliberately slowed down the flight speed.

Ning Chu gradually calmed his heartbeat. The wind blew his hair and robes. He stretched out his hand to touch the clouds passing by his side, leaving a piece of wetness in his palm.

The three cubs flew him all the way to the center of the forest. Ning Chu saw a lake below and a bunch of bright things beside the lake.

When the three cubs flew down and stopped in an open position by the lake, Ning Chu's expression gradually became dull.

He got off the three cubs and was speechless in shock at the pile of orange fox fruit in front of him: "This..."

At a cursory glance, there are thousands of these flocculent fruits... I am afraid that they have picked all the fruits of half the forest.

The three cubs had become smaller again, and they flew to the fruit pile and squatted down, holding their heads up and waiting for praise, as if to say "is the money enough".

Ning Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stepped forward to check. There were a lot of sticks and soil mixed in the fruit, and the edge was full of dragon footprints.

There are a few ordinary dragons in the distance, lying under the tree waiting for new instructions, Ning Chu glanced at it: "You asked them to help pick them?"

The three cubs nodded.

Ning Chu felt a little complicated and touched its head: "It's so good, it's not in vain."

The three cubs raised their dragon tails and made an "Ow" in the distance. A few ordinary dragons were ordered to leave quietly.

However, the pile of foxwood fruit made Ning Chu a little worried.

Dragon claws are not as good as human hands, and it is good to be able to get the fruit down smoothly, so it was damaged a lot during the picking and transportation, and it had to be cleaned up.

And there is an extra part of the delegation requirement, don't know whether the delegation will accept it or not.

But all the fruits were picked, and Ning Chu couldn't live up to the three cubs' hearts.

So he sat in the woods for an afternoon, and managed to clear out the pile of succulents. There were more than 200, and the bag couldn't hold it, so Ning Chu took off his coat and wrapped it in clothes.

After all this was finally done, Ning Chu leaned back and lay down on the grass to rest.

The three cubs rubbed against the side of his neck, and Ning Chu followed its back once and for all, and said euphemistically, "I don't need to pick so many at one time...it's easy to waste."

The three cubs nodded silently, stepped on the grass with their paws, and lay down and basked in the sun with Ning Chu in the breeze.

When Ning Chu laboriously carried a large bag of Xumuguo to the commission office, the staff was surprised: "Where did you...where did you get so much?"

Ning Chu smiled embarrassedly: "Accidentally picked too many, can I collect all of them? Or only the 30 delegated?"

"It can be collected, but," the staff thought for a while and lowered his voice: "Do you have a way to get other materials in the Mystery Forest?"

He had an intuition that Ning Chu was unusual. With so many succulents, how far would it take to pick them all.

Besides, there are not only magic dragons in the Mysterious Capital Forest, but also many monsters of all ranks. Ning Chu, a first-year student, can come back unscathed every time.

Ning Chu followed his example and whispered, "What supplies?"

"You have to... go to a deeper area to find it," the staff said with a "don't worry" expression, "You just need to agree or refuse, this is a high-level private delegation, I won't ask more, nor Your information will not be disclosed to anyone."

Ning Chu understood what he meant, and his heart moved.

He has three cubs, and he can walk sideways in the Mysterious Capital Forest without fear of the monsters in the depths of the forest. The rarer materials represent higher prices.

Ning Chu nodded immediately: "Okay, what do you need?"

"No hurry, I'll make a list and show it to you tomorrow." The staff took the Xumuguo on the table, "Let's settle these first."

The part that exceeds the delegation requirement can only be counted as the normal price, which is thirty one gold coins.

These that Ning Chu brought back were exchanged for a total of ten gold coins.

This was the first time he had received so much money, and when he collected the gold coins, his heavy pockets immediately became lighter.

While keeping the accounts, the staff said, "By the way, I brought back a dragon from the Crow Market today, do you want to go and have a look?"

Ning Chu suddenly became interested: "Dragon?"

"Yeah," the staff nodded. "It's a pity that it doesn't look good. The arena is looking for someone who can quickly collect it as a contract beast."

The dragon was injured and resisted contact with other people. In this case, the healing magic would be greatly reduced, and it would die of pain before the wound healed.

The contracted beast can rely on the master's magic power to heal itself, which is twice as fast as the direct treatment.

But it's not that easy to tame a dragon, just hope that it can meet someone who closes the eyes and is willing to surrender.

Ning Chu was thoughtful, asked the staff where the dragon was, and went there alone.

There is a small animal taming field near the arena, and sometimes some monsters are brought in as contracted beasts for students to choose.

Ning Chu went late, and there were very few people in front of the iron cage. After trying unsuccessfully, he left.

When Ning Chu approached, the imprisoned dragon was very thin, and lay dying in the cage. The obvious skeletal lines on its back proved that it was not doing well. There was a deep wound in the abdomen, and the blood had stopped temporarily.

Sensing that another person was approaching, it opened its eyes weakly and looked alert.

If no one can tame it, it probably won't live for three days.

Ning Chu asked, "How do I make it my contract beast?"

The people in the competition field did not lift their heads: "Just use your mental power to feel it."

Mental strength? What it is?

Ning Chu was at a loss. He recalled the movements of the two who had left just now, their movements in front of the cage, and tried to close his eyes and stretch out a hand at the same time.

... nothing happened, like magic he couldn't use.

Seeing that he had also failed, the people at the animal taming farm got up and pushed the cage and walked in, saying, "I have to let it rest today. If you want to try again, come tomorrow."

Ning Chu had no choice but to give up, took a few last glances, and turned to leave Ya Market.

Back at the college dormitory, Ning Chu opened "Dragon Island" immediately.

With the ten coins newly recharged today, he can finally unlock the mall.

Ning Chu clicked to unlock at the prompt of the system, and after deducting six coins, the familiar purchase interface appeared.

Food, tools, medicine... These three categories are the main materials needed in the game. Ning Chu looked back and found an additional column of "Other".

He opened it and saw that there were only two purchase items.

【Build New Dragon Island】

【Contract service】
