Chapter 2 The Wounded Dragon
Wandering on the mountain road, Chu Tian, who had changed his clothes, hugged Xiaobai and Kanas, kept chatting with him, enjoying the dry food provided by Kanas, while taking the opportunity to learn about the situation in another world.
This world is called the Phantom Beast Continent. The continental plate is similar to the Eurasian continent on the earth, facing the sea three sides. However, the north is not a cold polar region, but a large area of barren grassland, which is the territory of the beast tribe. The fierce and bloodthirsty orcs gather in the Xuanhe Pasture, and often invade the Caesar Empire in the east through the red clay canyon.
The most fertile land in the south and west directions of the mainland is occupied by the Rees Empire and the magical kingdom Elson. Between the three kingdoms, the center of the mainland is the highly developed Scott Kingdom. The above four powerful countries constitute the basic sphere of influence of the mainland. There are still many small countries in the cracks between the four major countries, but they are not enough to have an impact on the situation.
Except for orcs, other intelligent races, such as dwarves, elves, goblins, etc., are scattered among humans and have no fixed residence.
Since he knew that the man in front of him was a standard big man, Chu Tian made up his mind to associate his second half of his life with Canas. He relied on a big tree to enjoy the cool air, not to mention that this was a thousand-year-old tree! As long as he stretched his little finger, his life problems in another world would be solved. Moreover, this big man looked very good. Thinking of this, Chu Tian became more and more enthusiastic. It didn't take long for the two to call him brothers.
"Brother, why did you come to this wilderness?"
"Haha, this is not a wild mountain," Kanas's face flashed with a look of worry, but he still answered with a smile: "The Sunset Mountains are the dividing line between the Caesar Empire and the Kingdom of Elson. There are countless ferocious monsters in the mountains, and ordinary people cannot even enter the borders of the mountains."
"But it seems very strange. I haven't found a monster since I entered the mountain." Canas frowned in confusion, "It's good that's the case, otherwise, you'll be in trouble, brother, haha."
God blessed, after listening to Canas' words, Chu Tian felt a chill on his back. Half a day ago, he was complaining that no one around would breathe. Now it seems that eating a vegetarian diet for a month is also very good!
"I came here to pay homage to His Highness Anthony, the Saint of Light, and he lived in seclusion on the highest peak of Jietian here." As he said, with a reverent look on Kanas, pointing to a high mountain in the distance, "It's there!"
"Sacrifice of the Holy Light? He is very powerful, how are you compared to your elder brother?" Seeing Kanas's appearance as if he was about to see his idol, Chu Tian immediately understood: This Anthony is a big man bigger than the Dragon Knight. Another big fish. Chu Tian muttered in his heart.
"How can I compare with His Highness Anthony? He is said to be favored by the goddess of life, but he is known as a symbol of wisdom, the first sacrificial priest on the mainland, and the mentor of the Caesar Empire!" Knowing that Chu Tian didn't know much about the history of the mainland, Canas patiently explained.
"Thirty years ago, the war between our Caesar Empire and our southern neighbor, the Reis Empire entered its final stage. The two sides fought a decisive battle at the Quarry Fort. In that battle, our army suffered nearly 200,000 soldiers and thousands of high-level magicians, and their vitality was severely damaged. But the most fatal thing is that our high-level main battle monsters in our country were completely lost, and even the final weapon, the ninth-level monster Kuyata, was dying. This put us Caesar in the crisis of destruction of the country!
At the most critical moment, His Highness Anthony rushed to the battlefield alone. When the army was defeated, he used the forbidden spell in the prayer technique - the hymn of the goddess of life. Under the light of the gods, although the 200,000 fallen soldiers and magicians could not resurrect, most of the main war monsters were resurrected, and the ninth-level Kuyata also recovered their combat power! This turned the situation around and defeated the Les army, which lacked high-level monsters, and avoided the danger of destruction of the country."
Canas was fascinated by the past, and Chu Tian was also excited to hear it. He rode alone and turned the tide alone, turning the world around with his own strength. He really wanted to meet this legendary hero! Well... Of course, it would be even better if he could take care of his future life.
"I came here to ask His Highness Anthony to treat my mount and friend Chiyan." A cloud of sorrow climbed on Canas's face again.
"Carriage? Is it a dragon?" Chu Tian asked hurriedly. Chu Tian was full of curiosity about this legendary creature.
"Yes, a fire dragon."
"Is there anyone who can hurt the dragon?" Chu Tian was a little incredible. After all, in all the legends on the earth, the word dragon, was marked with a powerful annotation.
"In the last battle with the beast tribe, it was seriously injured by four golden behemoths to protect me. Although the imperial priests were treated, Chi Yan was unable to move after he was cured for some reason. Alas!" Canas sighed, "I'm afraid only His Highness Anthony can cure it."
"I believe he will get better!" Seeing Canas sighing, Chu Tian quickly comforted him. "Woo~ Woo~" Xiaobai in his arms also pointed his shaking little head with a serious look on his face.
"Can he understand what I said?!" Xiaobai's movements obviously stimulated Canas. "Of course, our little Baike is smart." Chu Tian curled his lips and said proudly, "Woo~Woo~" Xiaobai also cooperated to raise his small chest, hugged his two front paws in front of his chest, and his big eyes flashed at the sky, looking arrogant.
"What a cute little thing." Canas stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Xiaobai's head, but Xiaobai shook his head and avoided it.
"Is it strange that Xiaobai can understand human words?" Chu Tian felt something was wrong. When he first arrived in another world, Chu Tian knew nothing about the situation here. With Xiaobai's performance alone, he thought that all the monsters looked like Xiaobai. So, Canas's words caused him to question. "Don't all monsters understand?"
"Of course not. The monsters on the continent are divided into tenth levels. Only intelligent monsters above the fourth level can understand human language. Only those above the seventh level can use human language."
"What level is that Xiaobai?" The little dog he picked up might be a high-level monster?! Chu Tian felt his heart rushing and speeding up.
"This... although I don't know why it is so smart, I can't feel any magic fluctuations in it... That... you should treat it as an ornamental pet!" Canas tactfully poured a scoop of cold water on Chu Tian's just hot liver, which was cool.
"Woo~Woo~" Xiaobai shouted at Chu Tian indignantly. Ignoring Xiaobai's opinions, Chu Tian, who was just about to change Xiaobai's fate, made a disappointed decision: Let it be the last ration...
"By the way, brother." The frustrated Chu Tian began to change the topic. "What is Chi Yan's injury?"
"The main damage caused by the sharp claws and trampling of the golden behemoth." Canas's face was filled with the word "sorrow". "The wounds on his body have been treated, but the injuries have not improved."
"Scratch and trampling?" A picture appeared in Chu Tian's mind: four big stupid bears more than ten meters tall formed a circle, dancing sharp claws, lifting the giant legs as thick as buckets, and stomping on the poor little lizard in the middle... They didn't die like this, and it seemed that the dragon clan was really not ordinary strong!
———————————————————————————————
In Chu Tian's impression, even if the residence of the hero is not a magnificent palace, it should be an elegant and secluded villa. But no matter what, it should not be associated with the dilapidated small thatched hut in front of him.
The top of the Zhitian Peak was obviously artificially built into a wide platform. In the center is a circular altar several meters high, with various magic symbols regularly carved on it, and at the center of the circle is a secondary six-point magic circle. Next to the solemn altar, several rotten thatched houses stood awkwardly there.
This is the home of the Holy Saint Anthony?
Perhaps experts have special hobbies? Chu Tian thought of this.
"His Highness Anthony, I am asking for a visit to you!" While Chu Tian was still worried about the dialectical relationship between the hut and the hero, Canas had already walked to the door respectfully and knocked on the door.
Scream~~The door is open.
Looking at the old man walking out with shock, Chu Tian's cunning face turned into dullness. Finally, a famous saying popped up in his blank mind: There are no heroes in this world, and when there are more people bragging, there will be heroes.
With a hunched body, a gray cloth robe, a broken tree branch, a few grey goats, wrinkles and a bit of a wrinkle. Canas, a tall and mighty authentic dragon knight, was respectfully kneeling in front of such an old guy.
"I know everything about you, I will solve it." Anthony slowly picked up the heavy one, with a few large eyelids attached to the eye poop, stretched out a dirty hand, and helped Kanas up.
The charlatan!! Chu Tian added another comment.
"What is this?" Anthony pointed at Chu Tian with his big tree branch.
"Dear Saint Anthony, Hello, my name is Chu Tian. You can call me Xiao Tian. I am a friend of Brother Canas. I have heard of your heroic deeds back then and I respect you very much. I heard that Brother Canas is coming to visit you. Out of my admiration for you, I came here with you." Although I was extremely reluctant, for the sake of my future life, Chu Tian still said something that made him feel numb and bowed deeply.
"Well, the young man is very good." The Holy Priest looked at Chu Tian, turned around and said to Canas: "Summon the Red Flame. I will pray to God to heal it."
Although he had made sufficient psychological preparations before, Chu Tian was still stunned by the red dragon summoned by Canas.
A lizard with bat wings. From countless novels, Chu Tian has long known the appearance of the Western Dragon Clan, but knowing that it is one thing, but seeing it is another. A dragon is a dragon! Even if he is dying, the momentum of the giant creature more than ten meters long in front of him makes Chu Tian breathless.
