"It's just that ...... side effects, well, there's a little bit of that too."
Chapter 63
The teenager sat in the corner of the cave holding his tail.
He hung his eyes, the depths of his dark eyes were covered with a layer of hazy mist, the corners of his eyes were still remnants of a light redness, which looked particularly colorful on his fair skin.
Shi An's voice was slightly hoarse, with a soft nasal tone, as she stared at the potion in front of her:
"So, this thing will temporarily suppress my current state?"
Black Smoke nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
"But ...... the side effects well, there is also a little bit." It thought for a moment, added.
"Side effects?"
"It only temporarily inhibits the rutting period of dragons, but can't help you get through, after the drug wears off, the symptoms of rutting will rebound even more, so at most it can only solve the immediate need, the most fundamental method well, it must still be ......"
"What is it?"
"Find a female dragon."
Magic Worm: "......"
Shi An: "......"
As the last dragon in the world, Shi An felt as if his intelligence had been insulted.
But ...... right now there seems to be no other way to go except this imitation.
Shi An sighed, looked steadily at the dark green goo in front of her, and then, as if determined, frowned and drank it all in one gulp.
So bitter and hard to drink ......
Shi An's face twisted slightly, feeling as if he was burning from his mouth to his esophagus, and the moment the liquid hit his stomach, a searing pain spread from all his limbs, causing him to subconsciously lean forward and crouch down on the ground.
It hurts!
The scene in front of me spins around, broken blocks of color pile up, and the sounds in my ears become distant.
Finally, I don't know how long it took, but the feeling of pain finally passed like a tidal wave, and the desire and thirst that had tormented Shi An all the time earlier disappeared marvelously, and the state of mind became calm, and the agitation brought about by the rutting period finally disappeared without a trace of it being left behind.
Wow, is really useful!
Looks like they both aren't so unreliable after all.
Shi An opened her eyes happily.
"......"
In front of him was a dark gray sky, flurries of snowflakes drifted down from above his head, coloring the range of vision into a boundless white, vaguely visible in the distance from under the snowy peaks of the exposed dark ridges of the mountains, the icy air wrapped in the snowflakes, whistling past him, but strangely, Shi An did not have much of a feeling of coldness.
......
Eh?
Why does something not feel right?
Wasn't he inside the cave just now? Why did he become outside as soon as he opened his eyes.
And the range of vision seems to have changed.
It always feels like you're looking farther away than you used to ......
Shi An slowly lowered her head.
He saw his hard, silvery-white scale armor, claws so sharp and pointed that they could crush rock, and - a cave that had been mostly crushed by himself.
Shi An: "......"
The "D" is the name of the organization that is the most important of all the organizations.
"Boom--"
"Ka-la-"
The ground shook, the cave collapsed, and countless pieces of debris fell, dust and dirt falling along with the snow, smashing and shattering against the barely-supporting magical shield in front of them.
The Demon Worm slowly looked up, gazing at the claws of the dragon before him, and fell into a long silence:
"......"
"Haha, hahahahaha ......," said the black smoke with two dry laughs:
"It seems there may be more than one side effect."
The Demon Worm slowly twisted his head to look aside at the black smoke, and his expression became grim, "--Today we both must not have one."
Far away.
The rumbling sound of snowy mountains collapsing resonated throughout the Avon Snowfield.
On the west side of the mountain range, the mercenaries struggled to maintain their balance and looked in the direction of the avalanche.
Suddenly, one of them shrieked out:
"Team, Captain, look!!!"
Only a majestic and massive silhouette could be seen in the distance on the snowy mountains, between the blanket of snow and white mist.
--is a gargoyle!
The mercenaries gazed at the giant dragon on the snowy mountain in horror and shock.
Although they have long heard of the rumors of the dragon, but they are still the first time to really witness the existence of the dragon, in the continent for tens of thousands of years after the disappearance of the dragon is finally once again visible traces of this legendary creatures, almost synonymous with the powerful, beautiful, and dangerous, just from a distance to witness, can be felt that kind of soul-shattering feeling.
A hint of awe swept across the mercenary's leader's eyes, followed by a surge of endless desire.
They wanted to slay dragons not only for the show of strength, but also for the huge wealth represented behind the dragons-especially today, tens of thousands of years after the disappearance of the fantasy species, the economic value that a dragon could bring was almost impossible to measure in numbers.
I had thought that the blood sacrifice had failed and there was no way to lure the dragon back.
Unexpectedly ......
It was a surprise to them.
The mercenary leader made an immediate decision, "Abandon the search for Mu Hang and go to Snow Mountain to find the dragon first!"
East side of the Avon snowfield.
Almost at the same time, the magic detector in Wen Yao's palm also suddenly began to alarm frantically.
She looked in the direction the detector was pointing, her breath subconsciously catching slightly.
The giant dragon's form was hidden between the blizzard halfway up the mountain, and even though it was not quite visible, it still allowed one to clearly feel that instinctive sense of shock.
Although Wen Yao has known about the existence of dragons for a long time, this is the first time for her to actually see this legendary species in person.
She quickly snapped out of her brief moment of disorientation.
--No one knows better than Wen Yao the obsession his own chief has with dragons.
Where the dragon is, odds are the Mu Hang is.
She turned her head to the other Administration members behind her and ordered:
"Go in the direction of the snowy mountains!"
*
Shi An unfolded his wings and flapped them, his silver-white dragon scales shining brightly against the snow.
It took a few seconds before he finally accepted the fact that he had changed back to his original form.
He hung his head and gently withdrew his claws from the cave, before this carefully peeled the collapsed cave away.
Although the cave collapsed, the magic bugs and black smoke were quite resourceful and ran to the side of the unconscious Mu Hang to hold up a magic shield, and the one person and two magical creatures were basically not affected by the waves.
He looked toward the black smoke, took a deep breath, and asked in a seemingly calm tone, "What's going on here?"
Blacksmoke: "This ...... this ......"
Its voice grew smaller, "After all, the environment is limited, and manufacturing blending may be less precise ......"
Only to see the huge dragon in front of him slowly bent down, the huge head covered with scales lowered, a pair of red-golden vertical pupils slightly narrowed, that kind of huge and suffocating sense of oppression instantly and unreservedly poured down, his voice was no longer as clear and gentle as it was when it was a human being, and the resonance at the throat cavity made his voice seem heavy and ancient:
"Hmm?"
Under the icy sight of the dragon, the black smoke trembled, fearing that the other party would spray over with a mouthful of dragon flame.
It stammered:
"This, this shall be only temporary!"
"I, I, I, I promise, should, should the side effects pass soon!"
As the black smoke was about to pass out from the shock, Shi An finally mercifully withdrew her gaze.
At that moment, as if he had sensed something, he slowly twisted his head around and looked in the direction of the foothills - after transforming back into his dragon form, his eyesight had become extremely good, and even though it was a long way away, he was still able to see the two groups on the snowy ground, which were currently rushing in that direction.
On one side, there are mercenaries, and on the other side, there is the Administration led by Wen Yao.
Apparently, the commotion when he transformed himself was too great, not only did he cause an avalanche, but he also attracted the attention of all the forces on the Avon Snowfield.
Although these humans were not to be feared, Shi An was aware that she was too visible now that she was in her original form.
Plus he wasn't sure exactly when the side effects of this potion would pass, or if there would be anything worse after the side effects disappeared, the best thing to do right now was to find a place to hide, and wait to make sure that all the side effects had disappeared before showing up.
He lowered his head and glanced at Mu Hang, who lay amongst the crumbling rocks.
The man's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his long silver hair fell over his shoulders, making him look unusually handsome and shiny.
Shi An sighed.
As much as I hate to say it, I'm afraid this time it's too late to bring the Mu Hang to the East Canyon and make it into my own permanent collection.
Not to mention ......
The opponent had already had a tendency to awaken earlier, and there were quite a few hidden dangers if he took it away.
And now that he hadn't found all of his treasures, his hidden identity in the human world couldn't be exposed just yet.
He summoned the Skeleton Horse and told it to go to the west to block the group of mercenaries, he was not going to bother with Wen Yao in the east, when they came here, they should be able to find their officer.
Mu Hang should be safe once he's found by the Admin's group of humans.
Shi An dropped her head and gazed deeply at the human before her with her icy vertical pupils.
Until the day when it's mine forever, take care of yourself, baby.
After arranging everything early, the dragon caught the magic worm and black smoke between its claws and slowly unfolded its silver-white wings.
The dragon's wings tilted up violent air currents, wrapping the snowflakes in a flurry and bringing up the sound of hunting winds.
The icy wind swept up Mu Hang's long hair, making him look as if he was lying in the center of a snowstorm.
In the hurricane, the man's brow furrowed, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his deep, dark blue eyes opened a little, peering out through lashes that had fallen white with snow.
The shadow of the giant dragon overhead was faintly visible in the semi-blurred vision.
The silver-white dragon spread its wings and took off.
The glittering dragon scales were hard and smooth, the curves of the wings were smooth and elegant, and the body was majestic, carrying a terrifying sense of shock from the ancient times, showing off its power and beauty without a care in the world.
"......"
Mu Hang squinted his eyes in the wind and snow and subconsciously raised his hand, his long, pale fingertips probing into the air.
The tip of the dragon's tail was just a hair's breadth away from his finger.
It was as if you could touch it with your fingertips and catch it firmly in your palm if you leaned in and probed.
But before that, the dragon had already lifted its wings without hesitation and flew, as if it belonged to the sky, blinking into the silver-white blizzard and falling into the embrace of the firmament.
Mu Hang's fingers stayed in mid-air, slowly tightening a little.
*
Shi An flew up.
The harsh wind whistled and scraped across his dragon scales.
The wind, which was too cold and sharp for humans, was like a gentle caress for him, and at this altitude he was no longer worried about humans catching up with him, and the high altitude was so vast and far away that Shi An felt a kind of affection as if he had returned to his hometown.
The Demon Worm asked, "Where are you going to go next, my lord?"
Shi An thought for a moment and replied:
"--Auction house."
It just so happens that the Mercenaries and Administration are both still in the Avon Snowfield, it's perfect.
Although he had lost the chance to turn Mu Hang into a collector's item, ...... the portion of his treasure that had been stolen was something he must not give away!
