ACT040: At the foot of Dragon Mountain
Thanks to the blessing of this tough captain, the passengers' riots quickly subsided. Some people may still be dissatisfied with the captain's arrogant attitude, but the other party's "tough guy posture" that seemed trustworthy actually played a role in establishing a "backbone" in the hearts of the passengers. On the other side, Weiss was also discussing plans with Adele about exploring Longshan.
In any case, Adele could not sit idly by a fellow race who stayed with the dragon. Although the elves do not oppose intermarriage with other races, and even have the tendency to run to humans to grab men in recent years, they still have a little bit of accepting the intelligent race like the dragon.
Indeed, the dragon is very powerful, and it has the ability to turn into a human form, which prevents the occurrence of some super-heavy "extreme expansion PLAY". The dragon spirits (Male Dragon X Elf Girl) and Elf Dragon (Elf Man X Female Dragon) that have appeared in history are also very powerful. There are even murals and sculptures on the Shenle Island that record their legendary stories. But in fact, most elves boycott intermarriage with the dragon, for no other reason, because they are all thanks to the male dragon's unconventional "sexual fetish".
In the eyes of Wies and other Earth travelers, dragons are a magical species that can subvert common sense of earth biology, because they can ignore gene combinations and reproduce sexually with any organism, and their offspring is not a mule that has no fertility, and can continue to reproduce with matriarchal species. This directly leads to many powerful sub-dragon species in this world, such as the dragon shark that is more common among sea monsters.
It is said that a single male dragon was sitting on a reef in a daze. At this time, a stupid shark swam over and was caught by the dragon. After staring at the other party's "appropriate size" mouth for a long time, the dragon made a bold attempt, which was to pull out the shark's sharp teeth, then ignore the other party's terrified gaze and stuff it between his legs...
Then the shark became pregnant!
It is worth mentioning that someone who has heard this story asked the old fisherman why he would get pregnant if he "interjected"? This is unscientific! The old man calmly took a sip of cigarettes, looked at the other person's crotch with his eyes, and asked quietly.
"Can you compare that little 'snot' with the dragon'?"
At first, the biologists of the elves believed that these "beast-fucking monsters" would at least let go of plants, but with the discovery of the "banyan tree dragon", these biologists went completely crazy! With the conservative three views of the elves, they really could not accept this fierce behavior, so the dragon, regardless of male or female, was not within the category of ordinary elves' mate selection.
"The dragon is a species with very high magic attainments, and its blood is also a very powerful supplement. If my compatriot is really sick and this dragon really loves her, then she shouldn't die."
"What if even the dragon is helpless?" Weiss questioned Adele's analysis.
"Maybe, but I still think that the possibility of such a third-rate stage drama is not high."
The three of them asked for a map from the village chief Wu Ke to study the route to the mountain, and did not care about the "suspect" Lena. The current situation is basically trapped in this small village, with the Imperial Army on the sea and the dragons and lizardmen on the mountain. It is really hard to fly even if it has wings. He has time to accompany the other party to continue to deal with it.
After studying the map, the three people found that because the forests of Longshan are particularly dense and the villagers rarely go up the mountain, there are no other roads on the mountain except for a tortuous stone road. Taking this road will inevitably be discovered by those lizards, which alarms the dragon too early, so they can only try to "find a different path".
"How about crossing directly from the forest?" Ling Lan suggested.
"Is it really okay for Lu Chi to make such suggestions?"
"Where am I crazy?"
"I don't know who got lost in Swordfish Port last time, so Adele and I searched for more than two hours."
"Then, that was an accident!" Ling Lan, whose cheeks were red, clenched her fists and tried to argue with the smirk of Weis. Seeing this, Adele had to sigh and interrupt them.
"Okay, Weiss, Xiaolan is prone to being confused and lost. Just look at her more in the future. In addition, the method she said is indeed feasible."
"Adele, do you have a way to get lost?"
"Of course there is! I am an elf, and I will never get lost in the woods." Adele said with a proud look on his long ears.
As the race with the best elemental affinity in the world, the "goodwill" shown by nature to them is incomparable to other races. Most animals and plants, even the invisible wind, are willing to "communicate" with the elves. Therefore, Adele will never get lost in ordinary forests, and trees and small animals will guide her direction.
Without further ado, the three decided to set off that night and take advantage of the cover provided by the night to go up the mountain for a walk. So they borrowed some equipment from the captain, quietly left the village after dinner, and headed towards the mysterious Longshan.
After leaving the village, the three of them went straight to the intersection where Weis witnessed the Lizardmen in the morning. They first checked the ground around them. After confirming that there were no traces worth noting, they walked along the winding path to the mountains. This road was built by the first group of villagers who fled to this time. The ancient stone steps were covered with slippery moss. Weiss shone on the steps with a hand-light (an alien version of flashlight) and soon found some three-toed foot prints.
"It seems that only those lizard people are walking on this road frequently, and they cannot see the footprints of people at all."
Adjusting the brightness of the hand-light tube to the lowest level, the three of them walked forward carefully, and Adele's sharp ears would shake from time to time, listening carefully to the movements around him, occasionally attracting some birds, squirrels and other animals, pressing their foreheads up, communicating with each other, and obtaining the information they needed.
"What did those little guys say?" Weiss asked when he saw Adele raise his hand to send the little animals away.
"They said that there were a group of monsters living in the mountains, but they had never seen the legendary dragons. The trees could not move. They could only see what was in front of them and their memory was very bad. Maybe I should ask for longer-lived animals such as snakes and turtles, maybe they knew more."
"I always feel that your skill is DIO explosive, and you elves are simply the strongest spies and scouts in the world."
Being able to communicate with animals and plants means that the elves can mobilize small animals such as mice and birds to invade those confidential facilities and steal important information, but the actual situation is not as simple as Wies thought.
"It's not as powerful as you think. These little guys are generally not very smart. Some don't even know how to count. They will only tell you simple information such as 'so many', 'so big', 'so terrifying'. Only slightly larger animals like deer or fox can provide more accurate information."
"That's amazing enough. Humans don't have this treatment in front of them."
"Who told you humans to eat meat!"
With the information provided by the little animals, the three of them shuttled through the forest and quickly approached the foot of the mountain where the dragon was located, and found many unusually tall and stout trees nearby. Adele told Weiss and Ling Lan that the reason why these trees grew so large was because they were "moisturized" by dragon dung.
The nutrients rich in a pile of "Dragon Xiang" weighing half a ton can make all vegetation within a radius of 100 meters grow for 500 years within 10 years. Therefore, these trees grow so huge, and this also proves from the side that there are really giant dragons on this mountain!
