Chapter 14

The five cubs are about to break their shells!

Ning Chu was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, he quickly locked the door to prevent anyone from entering suddenly.

He squatted on the edge of the bed, not even breathing too hard, his heart racing nervously.

"Crack-"

The dragon egg cracked again.

The three cubs were so excited that they jumped up and down around the bed around the dragon egg, and were slapped honestly by the little black dragon.

It lay down peacefully beside the dragon egg, craned its neck and sniffed.

The two dragons and Ning Chu waited with bated breath. The dragon egg was quiet at this time, and there was no sound inside, as if it was half broken and suddenly lost its strength.

Every dragon cub needs to work on its own to break its shell, and no external help is available. Ning Chu knew that there was no rush at this time, so he opened the "Dragon Island" mall and bought the things that he would use later.

Soft towels, milk powder and small feeding bottles for dragon cubs, oat grass that five cubs like to eat...

There is a kettle in the dormitory. Ning Chu was too slow, so he borrowed the fire magic of the three cubs to make milk powder.

Getting everything ready, the dragon egg shook slightly.

A small piece of the eggshell at the top was pushed down from the inside, and a section of tender green claws quickly retracted.

The three cubs were even more anxious, but did not dare to stretch their paws to touch them, and raised their heads to call: "Ow—"

There were more and more gaps on the surface of the eggshell, and soon a larger gap appeared, and a little dragon cub covered in green timidly probed out.

Its head was a full circle smaller than the three cubs, but the exposed half of its head looked very round, and it appeared that a pair of dragon horns were short and small, curving to the side.

The first thing it saw was the three cubs, and the red young dragon kept waving its tail in front of it, leaning over and licking it on its forehead.

Wu Cub was licked back by it, grabbed the eggshell to stabilize his figure, turned his head and saw the little black dragon was there, and cried out excitedly.

Seeing the two companions again, the five cubs were very happy, but also a little puzzled. It looked around the environment and saw Ning Chu not far away.

This is a strange human being.

The five cubs were startled, and hurriedly retracted into the eggshell, almost falling over.

Its reaction was all seen by Ning Chu, Ning Chu's eyes were sour, and he said softly, "Little Wu?"

The familiar tone and title made the little green dragon stunned, it quietly probed again and looked at Ning Chu.

This human being is very unfamiliar from the face to the dress, but there is a familiar feeling.

In front of him is a small towel, a feeding bottle... oat grass!

The five cubs turned their heads and looked at the three cubs beside him as if asking for help, and the three cubs "woo woo" twice.

[He is 'Ning'. ]

Wuzai couldn't believe it, his wide, round eyes quickly filled with water, struggling to get out of the eggshell.

It has been sleeping for too long, and it has just broken its shell again. It can't stabilize its limbs well, and it stumbles all the way.

Ning Chu caught it halfway and carefully held it in his arms.

Wu Zai "woo woo" while hooking on Ning Chu's collar and climbing up, constantly rubbing Ning Chu with his side face and dragon horns.

Ning Chu was so distressed that he tilted his head and followed Wu Cub's back, and coaxed softly, "My darling, Dad is here."

Wuzai didn't understand, he was obviously dead, why he broke his shell again, and saw 'Ning', even though 'Ning' had changed into a different appearance.

It didn't care about thinking too much, it just felt happy, buried its head in the side of Ning Chu's neck, and wanted to remember his current smell.

Ning Chu picked up the little head of the five cubs and picked up the bottle: "Are you hungry? Eat something first..."

He tried the temperature and was about to feed the five cubs when footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the dormitory door.

Ning Chu raised his head alertly, put the five cubs and the bottle back on the bed, and pulled the curtain to cover everything inside.

Sure enough, the next second, the door handle was twisted from the outside, and Bowen's voice sounded: "Xuning? Are you inside?"

Ning Chu unlocked the door, and Bowen walked into the dormitory: "Why lock the door?"

"I was just changing clothes," Ning Chu said nonchalantly, "I locked the door for a while."

In the covered bed, the three cubs opened one side of the dragon's wings to block the five cubs, signaling it not to make a sound.

"It's all men, what are you afraid of..." Bo Wen muttered, taking off his jacket and going to bed to take a nap.

Ning Chu didn't go back to his bed until he pulled the curtain of his own bed.

Seeing Ning Chu coming back, the five cubs immediately crawled on him. Ning Chu picked it up and put it in his heart, with his index finger on his lips and said silently, "Shh."

He picked up the bottle again and fed it to the five cubs.

The eggshell was temporarily piled up by the three cubs in the corner of the bed. It swayed and flew over, lying on Ning Chu's shoulder to watch the five cubs drink milk.

The little black dragon looked around the five cubs, confirmed that it was in good condition and everything was correct, and squatted quietly by the pillow.

The five cubs drank the whole bottle in one go, burped a little, and licked the tip of his nose incessantly.

There was also a handful of oat grass on the bed, which smelled the scent and turned to stare.

Ning Chu picked up the oatmeal and whispered, "Do you still want to eat it?"

He was worried that the five cubs would be overwhelmed at once, and his other hand gently pressed its belly.

It seems to be okay, it didn't bulge too much, and after the five cubs broke their shells again, they looked a little fatter than before.

Ning Chu took the oatmeal in his hand and fed it to the five cubs little by little. The fifth cub turned his head and refused to eat it. He turned over and lay on his back in Ning Chu's heart, raising his little paws to lick it.

After it was full, it was very sleepy at this time, and its licking and licking movements became slower and slower, and finally fell asleep directly.

Ning Chu carefully adjusted his posture and lay down, and pulled the thin quilt to cover the exposed stomach of the five cubs.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while.

When Ning Chu slept and opened his eyes, the fifth cub had just woken up and was playing with the third cub.

It can't fly, and a pair of small wings on the back cling to the scales, put up its hind legs and try to stand up and pounce on the little red dragon.

Its movements are clumsy and immature, not as flexible as the three cubs. Seeing that it is about to fall over, the three cubs fly close to support it with their backs.

Wuzai stabilized his body and found that Ning Chu was awake, shouted cheerfully, and ran towards him.

Ning Chu sat up and opened a gap in the bed curtain. Seeing that Bo Wen's bed was neatly tidied up, he should have gone out before he was relieved.

Wuzai looked up at Ning Chu's movements, grabbed his clothes and started to climb up.

When Ning Chu was taking a nap, the three cubs had already briefly explained everyone's current situation to the fifth cub. He knew that he had to hide himself now and not be discovered by other humans here.

Ning Chu picked it up and pinched its round face: "Xiao Wujia, how do you feel?"

The five cubs approached and kissed the tip of his nose: "Woo..."

Ning Chu smiled, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually faded.

The five cubs were finally resurrected successfully, probably because of the uninterrupted supply of dragon spar, it looked alive, fatter and stronger than before.

But Ning Chu still had one thing in his heart, how did the five cubs die.

He once asked the three cubs, and the three cubs did not know, only that they must be related to humans.

Today's dragon hunters generally only target adult ordinary dragons. Although the fifth cub is the weakest of the five rare dragons, it is a magic dragon after all. .

In addition, the place where the five cubs appeared last was the Mysterious Capital Forest.

As a Rotary Leaf Dragon with wood magic, the forest should be its safest place.

Another point is that the five cubs do not eat meat, they are timid, introverted and kind, and they will never take the initiative to attack people.

Ning Chu hugged the five cubs for a while, scratched its chin lightly, and said, "Do you want to tell my father about the past?"

He meant something, and the five cubs were very smart and understood what he wanted to ask.

Before Ning Chu woke up, the little black dragon asked it once. At that time, the five cubs remembered the bad memories and trembled with fear, and the little black dragon did not force it any more.

At this moment, Ning Chu is holding it, which is the greatest sense of security for it. It mustered up the courage and rubbed Ning Chu's palm: "Wuwu."

Ning Chu thought about it, first opened "Dragon Island", and found the five cubs in the contract service.

"Xiao Wu is willing to form a contract with me..." Ning Chu just clicked on the application, and the system immediately popped up a prompt.

[Congratulations, you have successfully signed a contract with the 'Five Cubs' Rotary Leaf Dragon! 】

The little black dragon pricked up his ears, wanting to see what contract Ning Chu made with the other dragons.

However, Ning Chu's words had just been asked, and he said in the next second, "It's alright."

No spells, no contract formations, not even waiting time.

Is this the end?

The contract was signed successfully, and a new option was added to the [Contract Service]. Like the three cubs, it was also [Battle Settings], [Daily Settings] and [Dragon Language Translation].

Ning Chu guessed it well. After he formed a contract with Wuzai, he could also use its magical elements.

Ning Chu opened the dragon language translator and touched Wu Zai's head: "Okay, babe, I can understand you now."

Wuzai was still a little timid, and buried himself in Ning Chu's neck, before raising his head after a long time.

Its voice was intermittent, and through the translation of the game, Ning Chu probably heard the truth.

The five cubs were in the Mysterious Capital Forest at the time, and a team of strange humans broke in and found a dragon nest in the depths of the forest.

They caught the young dragon cub in the dragon's nest, and it seemed that they planned to take it away.

Ordinary dragon hunters never catch young dragon cubs, which are too small to feed or buy for much money.

The five cubs originally wanted to escape, but when he saw the captured dragon cubs, he felt softhearted and wanted to help, but was found.

Wuzai shivered at this moment, and hid himself into a ball in Ning Chu's arms: "Ouch..."

Ning Chu vaguely heard two meanings, "the young dragon died" and "looking for the dragon island".

His heart sank.

These people want to find Dragon Island.

The whereabouts of the five demon dragons are hidden and difficult to find. Some people say that every time they disappear under their noses, they actually enter a barrier somewhere. That is the Dragon Island, where only dragons can enter. The legendary Dragon King is on Dragon Island. By successfully taming or beheading it, you can command all the dragons and gain the mighty power of the dragon.

But this statement is too unbelievable. Like the similar rumors that the magic power of the Five Demon Dragons is bestowed by the Dragon King, there is no basis at all. Ning Chu heard it once in Raven Market, and no one believed it at all.

If Wuzai was caught by the group, they wanted Wuzai to lead them to Long Island... but in the end they killed Wuzai and all the young dragons.

It's not hard for Ning Chu to imagine what these people have done.

His guess was basically the same as what Wu Zai said. San Zai was furious and flew into the air irritably. The flames in his mouth were almost confiscated, splashing on the bed curtain and burning a hole the size of a fingernail.

For the first time, the little black dragon did not stop the reckless behavior of the three cubs. Its eyes were red and its sharp claws stuck out uncontrollably.

When it finds these people, it will shred them directly.

Ning Chu lowered his eyes, followed Wu Zai's back, and comforted it: "It's alright, it's alright... I'm here."

Wuzai slowly calmed down, buried his head in Ning Chu's neck and fell asleep again.

It had just broken its shell, and it was normal for it to be lethargic these days. Ning Chu didn't go to the arena at night and concentrated on accompanying it in the dormitory.

For the next three days, Ning Chu did not accept any challenges, nor did he appear in the arena.

The students began to spread, whether he signed up for the cleaning of monsters, so he has not been free recently.

In fact, Ning Chu stayed in the dormitory as soon as he had free time. Wu Zai's mood was not stable enough, and he was very attached to him.

Every day Ning Chu went to class, it watched him leave eagerly, and when Ning Chu was about to come back, it looked up early and rushed into his arms as soon as possible.

When sleeping at night, the position of the little black dragon was also occupied by the five cubs, and the little black dragon returned to his original corner to sleep.

Ning Chu has not been idle in the game these few days. He slowly built the Long Island into its original appearance, with residential areas, play areas and feeding areas. The animals in captivity have grown up and do not worry about stockpiling food. The playground has also been sorted out.

Coupled with the help of the four cubs, the little dragon cubs on the island lived more comfortably than before, and they all looked very stocky.

As for the cleaning of monsters, Ning Chu has not signed up yet, but he does have this plan.

Especially after he signed a contract with Wuzai, he has been able to use wood magic successfully.

Now, there is only a reasonable explanation, how he went from a poor talent to almost zero useless firewood, and became more powerful than the strongest student in the class.

Ning Chu picked a time and went to the tutor's office to find Clark.

Clark was the only one in the office. She was surprised by Ning Chu's arrival, thinking that he was here to ask her for help, showing a look of relief and approval: "Tell me."

Ning Chu said sternly: "Teacher, I am going to participate in the cleaning of monsters organized by the college."

Clark pulled his face down immediately: "What's the nonsense? You don't know how much you have?"

"Teacher, actually I..." Ning Chu lowered his head and sighed, pretending to be a last resort, "Actually, my talent is not what I showed in the previous classes."

Clark looked him up and down. "Really?"

"My talent suddenly exploded some time ago, and I was too scared to tell anyone or show it."

Ning Chu was very nervous, for fear that Clark would see something, and this reason sounded inexplicably embarrassing, but now, Ning Chu can only bite the bullet and continue to make up.

"Beasts have been rampant recently. I want to do my best for the academy, and I don't want to be the weak me I used to be."

Clark's eyes were suspicious, and she didn't know how much she believed. She raised her head slightly: "What kind of talent do you have now, let me see it."

Ning Chu quietly confirmed that no one was passing by outside the office, and a mass of wood-type aura gathered in his hand, instantly knocking down a few books on the table behind Clark.

"Sorry..." Ning Chu walked over to pick up the book and set it up again, Clark's eyes lit up.

Although the magic that Ning Chu used just now is simple, the concentration of magic elements contained in it and the speed of his shots are beyond the ability of students of the same age.

Clark had believed most of it at this time, got up and looked at Ning Chu again: "Your change... How can it be so big?"

For such questions, Ning Chu always said that he did not know, and he wanted to understand.

In the end, Clark speculated that he was very likely to be extremely talented, but he was suppressed for some reasons when he was young, and he only recently broke through.

Ning Chu immediately agreed: "You're right, I think so too."

He tried to ask again: "So, this time the demon beasts are cleaned..."

Clark said: "The power of high-level monsters is no trivial matter, you..."

"Don't worry, I won't act alone," Ning Chu said immediately, "I met Bligh from the mercenary group by chance, and I will form a team with him."

At a critical time, Ning Chu moved out of Bligh.

"You know him?" Clark raised his eyebrows and sat down on the chair again: "Okay, I agree with you to go."

She took out a circular brooch from the drawer, with the logo of Lance Academy engraved on it. Wearing this means participating in the cleaning of monsters and being able to enter and leave the academy freely.

Clark handed the brooch to Ning Chu and said, "You don't have to come for the next courses, and the credits will be recorded as usual."

Ning Chu took the brooch: "Thank you."

Regarding Ning Chu's talent, Clark agreed to help him keep it a secret for the time being.

Before Ning Chu left, Clark did not forget to remind: "Your safety is the most important thing, don't be brave."

Ning Chu thanked her again and left the office.

After solving this matter, Ning Chu began to worry about how to coax the five cubs.

He was worried about what danger he might encounter outside, so he wanted to keep the five cubs in the dormitory and let the cubs take care of him, with only three cubs by his side.

Leaving the cub is also for fear that it will be found outside. The three cubs are different. It has appeared in the vicinity of the Mysterious Capital Forest, and it is not afraid of showing its true body in any emergency.

As soon as Wu Zai heard that he didn't bring himself, his eyes immediately burst into tears, and his paws grabbed Ning Chu's collar and refused to say anything.

It has been resurrected once, and it is more sensitive to such things as separation, especially since Ning Chu has been away for so long.

It doesn't want to stay in the dormitory, it wants to go out with Ning Chu.

Ning Chu coaxed patiently: "I'm just like going to class, I'll be back soon, and it's very dangerous outside, there will be many bad people, you're safest to stay here."

Hearing that Ning Chu said there were bad people outside, Wu Zai shivered and began to hesitate a little.

Before Bo Wen came back, Ning Chu fed him oat grass again, bought several toys, and played with the five cubs for a long time.

In the end, Ning Chu reassured that he would come back sooner, and the five cubs sullenly agreed.

The next morning, Bo Wen urged Ning Chu to go to class, and Ning Chu smiled awkwardly: "I... asked for leave."

Bowen's eyes widened under the lens: "Are you asking for leave again? You're not afraid of Clark..."

Ning Chu said vaguely: "It's okay, I told Clark yesterday and she agreed."

Bowen looked puzzled, he hurried to class without asking more, nodded: "Well, I'll go first."

When the students on the floor went to class one after another, Ning Chu changed into another outfit and put on a loose coat outside.

There is a big pocket on the inner layer of the jacket, and the three cubs can just hide in it. When Ning Chu raised his hand, he blocked it a little, and it looked normal from the outside.

He picked up the five cubs and kissed it on the forehead: "Wait for me to come back."

Xiao Heilong watched from the side, his eyes fixed on Ning Chu's lips.

The fifth cub was put back on the bed, it whimpered a few times, turned its head on the pillow and pointed its tail at Ning Chu.

Ning Chu knew that it was still a little unhappy, and sighed silently.

He squatted down and rubbed the little black dragon squatting beside the bed: "Cubs have to be good at home, take care of Xiaowu."

Xiao Heilong was still staring at his lips, Ning Chu didn't notice it at all, got up and put on the brooch Clark gave yesterday.

He hid the three cubs in his coat and pushed the door to leave.

At this time, most of the students were in class, and no one was walking around in the academy. Ning Chu relied on the brooch to get out of the school smoothly.

He went to the arena first, and went to Donald to pick up his usual mask.

Knowing that Ning Chu was going to participate in the cleaning of monsters, Donald half-jokingly said, "You haven't been here recently, and my place has been deserted a lot."

Ning Chu's current popularity is close to that of Wu Si, and the rumors that the two of them have some acquaintances make his identity even more mysterious.

Ning Chu smiled: "I will come back to earn money."

He bid farewell to Donald, and after leaving Raven Market, he went to a nearby hidden corner, made sure that no one was around, and put on a mask.

The mask firmly covered Ning Chu's face, and together with the pair of brown pupils, other than that, it would not affect his sight and actions.

He had to use the identity of Xiuning when he went out of school, but outside the school, he was "Ning".

In the dormitory, Xiao Heilong played takraw with the five cubs for a while, and suddenly changed back into a human form and sat beside the bed.

Wuzai knew that Wusi had a human form and had seen his appearance, but he was slightly stunned, not surprised.

It licked its paws and pushed the takraw ball.

Wus caught the takraw ball, picked it up and put it aside: "Come with me."

He picked up the five cubs, hid it in his collar, and quietly took it back to his dormitory when no one was there.

Wusi's situation is special. The dormitory arranged for him by the school allows him to live alone in one room, and there is no other person in the house.

Wu Si put down the five cubs, found a black coat similar to Ning Chu from the wardrobe, and put it on.

He pulled up his jacket, squatted in front of Wuzai, followed Ning Chu's action and scratched Wuzai's chin lightly, and asked, "Would you like to go find Dad?"
