The night is getting darker.
Lei has gone far away with the copper-crowned flying dragon. But if you listen carefully, you can still vaguely hear the roars and beatings and scoldings of the monsters. From these sounds, you can know that Lei is determined this time and must tame the alien species in the bipedal flying dragon.
The travelers haven't slept yet. On the one hand, according to common sense in adventure, they need to rest for a while after dinner and wait until the food is almost digested before falling asleep; on the other hand, not far from the tent, the one has been untied. The ferocious giant ape in purgatory made them frightened and dared not sleep.
"We can't continue like this." Steele muttered, "They are under too much pressure and they need to reduce it."
"Yes, but how can we relieve their stress?" Sui Xiong asked, "Tell a joke? Or sing a song or dance or something?"
Steele smiled mysteriously: "I have a better way."
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then he had a bad association and hurriedly warned her: "Hey! Don't mess around! I won't allow any unobstructed conference or something like that!"
"Don't underestimate me so much! I don't have the only way to help people relieve stress!" Steele couldn't help laughing, "Just wait and see!"
After saying that, she swayed and came to the giant ape who was carefully and conscientiously guarding the sentry and faithfully performing his duties as a "watchdog". She smiled tenderly and stretched out her hand to touch the giant ape's broad chest. The voice said: "Big strong man, are you interested in doing something relaxing with me?"
The giant ape was confused and didn't understand what she meant.
Apes are relatively smart among wild beasts. Although neither purgatory nor violent transformation is helpful to intelligence (counterexamples of reduced intelligence appear frequently), as the king of the herd, he must be relatively smart. The intelligence of this giant ape is almost equivalent to that of a child, and it can understand common language that is not too complex—but it definitely cannot understand Steele's implicitly provocative words.
So it stared at Steele blankly, not knowing what this human woman was going to do.
Strange to say, Steele is obviously much smaller than it and does not look powerful, but it is very honest in front of Steele, even more honest than in front of Lei.
The monster's intuition told it that the human woman in front of it was a far higher being than itself, and it should obey her orders honestly and not disobey.
But when Steele started to do something, it couldn't help resisting.
After all, monsters also have self-respect...
Hearing the noise outside, Mrs. Teague, Liv and Little Nisi who were resting in the tent, and Rank who was resting in the carriage were all alarmed and came out to see what was going on.
Then they saw Steele wrapped in red flames, and then in a blink of an eye, she turned into a pink pig flapping its wings and flying in the air.
ah? !
Words can hardly describe the mood of the four of them at this moment - no, at least Nisi's mood can be described. She was surprised and happy. She ran over excitedly, gently poked the little pig floating in the air with her finger, and happily Said: "It's a real pig!"
The little pig blew out a pink bubble with a "whoosh", hit her face, and burst with a "wave".
Xiao Nisi was startled by this scene, and then she realized that the piggy did not resist her touch. She immediately became happy, gently touched the piggy's back, and wanted to pick it up.
Mrs. Teague ran over worriedly and wanted to stop her. However, I felt relieved when I saw that Little Piggy stayed obediently in Xiao Nisi's arms and showed no intention of attacking her or trying to break away and escape.
"What happened to this little pig?" Liv asked curiously, "I thought I saw Miss Steele just now. Where is she? Where did she go?"
Of course, the only person present who could answer her question was the giant ape - but although it could understand human language, it could not speak it.
After a long silence, Sui Xiong sighed and appeared in the air.
"That's Steele. This guy has evil thoughts again and turned into a pig."
However, his explanation did not get everyone's approval. Instead, Liv and Rank looked at him warily, wondering what the origin of this emerald green jellyfish floating in the air was.
Only the innocent little Nisi didn't think so much at all. She stretched out her hand, grabbed Sui Xiong's hanging tentacles, and pulled it over hard.
"Hey? Little girl, what do you want to do?"
Sui Xiong just asked, but he was already pulled in front of her, so she held the pink pig in one hand and the emerald jellyfish in the other, smiling happily.
Sui Xiong's side face was speechless, and he happened to be face to face with the pink piggy who was smiling happily.
"Steele, did you do this on purpose?" Sui Xiong suddenly realized and shouted angrily through his mind connection, "You actually plotted against me!"
"It's nothing, it's just to make the children happy." Steele said with a smile, without any hint of repentance or fear, "I'd like to help them reduce their stress. Don't you agree with that?"
"But I didn't say I wanted to pretend to be a pet to help them relieve stress!" In the spiritual world, Sui Xiong's roar was like thunder, "I am a majestic god! How can I be a pet for children!"
"What does that matter? I don't care about face as a human anymore. What do you, a jellyfish, have to care about?"
Sui Xiong was so angry at Steele that he couldn't say anything in reply - there is no shame in the world. Facing someone like Steele who doesn't take his face seriously when he's interested, even a god would have to be criticized. Left speechless.
He wanted to break free and escape, but seeing Xiao Nisi smiling so happily, he couldn't bear it. Think about this poor little girl, who lost her father at a young age, and her originally wealthy life has become difficult and embarrassing. Now she has to wander around with her, living a life of an adventurer licking blood...
In the end, His Majesty the Jellyfish God, who was so powerful that it was unimaginable for mortals, secretly sighed and acquiesced to the fact that he was temporarily transferred to a pet.
When the sky in the east began to turn white, Lei Qi finally bowed his head and accepted his fate under his iron-fisted suppression. When he came back, he saw Little Niss dozing off from the tent. Her hands were on each side, holding the pink pig and the emerald jellyfish respectively.
He was stunned for a long time, and finally burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth.
After a while, everyone packed up their tents and continued to set off.
Three horses and a carriage drawn by two draft horses.
The difference is that there are two horses with empty seats on their backs.
Liv drove three horses by herself. She was a little confused at first, but she soon found the trick. These war horses have been specially trained and are very obedient. As long as she leads the way on her horse, the other two will naturally follow without her having to bother.
She walked slowly and unhurriedly, looking back and forth from time to time. Not far ahead, Lei Zheng was riding a bronze-crowned flying dragon, swaggering all the way. Although the wyvern's name seems to be a flying monster, it is actually not good at flying. They can only fly for short periods of time and are used for hunting and fighting. They still mainly walk on foot. The one Lei was riding was no exception, and because it was larger and burlier than the average bipedal flying dragon, its flying skills were also clumsier. It was not so much flying, but a combination of jumping and gliding.
This didn't satisfy Lei, so he was training this guy to fly while he was on his way. According to his estimation, when they reach Yunta City, there will inevitably be a fierce battle, and an air battle will probably be needed. As your own mount, even if it cannot cruise flexibly in the air like an eagle, it must at least be able to fly stably.
So he greatly intensified the training of his mount, making the bronze-crowned flying dragon miserable. But perhaps as the saying goes, "Talents are forced out, skills are trained." After a period of training, its flying skills improved by leaps and bounds, and it was actually able to fly in the air for a period of time. If the wyvern clan wanted to hold a flying competition, it would probably become a strong contender for the regional championship.
The giant ape who changed his job and became a watchdog has always been very honest. He followed the team silently during the day and carefully kept vigil at night so that everyone could sleep peacefully. As time passed, even Rank, who was most worried, became relieved about it. When Mrs. Teague prepared three meals, she would even prepare the same meal for it as everyone else.
When this giant ape holds a wooden bowl and sits there eating like a human being, it really looks like a human being!
It took a total of nineteen days on the road from Jinta City to Yunta Port.
This was a very long journey, and it was also a journey full of dangers. Along the way, we encountered monsters of the level of the Infernal Dire Giant Ape more than ten times. And once, they actually encountered a terrifying monster.
It was a giant gray dragon. Judging from its smooth, mirror-like scales, it seemed that he was not very old, but the aura exuding from his body had already made everyone tremble with fear. Before it could reach him, both war horses and draft horses were already paralyzed on the ground. Mrs. Teague, Liv and Rank were all very nervous, with their swords unsheathed and bows unstrung, ready for battle.
The giant ape once wanted to escape, but in the end he didn't. He plucked up the courage to stay. It broke off a thick branch and used it as a weapon. Just looking at its trembling legs, I was afraid that when it really started to fight, there would be nothing it could do. Count on its force.
Lei jumped off the bronze-crowned flying dragon that was lying on the ground to express its surrender to the superior race. He did not draw his sword, but stood there with a serious expression, looking at the young dragon.
The two sides faced off for a long time without saying a word. Finally, the giant dragon snorted coldly as if disappointed, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky with a gust of wind.
This encounter left everyone with lingering fears and gave them a clearer judgment on Lei's force.
This is a strong man who can force the dragon back just by relying on his momentum without drawing his sword!
After the dragon left, Mrs. Teague asked Ray if Liv could learn from him.
Of course Ray would not object, and then Rank wanted to follow suit, so he had two students.
