Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 16
The range of thirty kilometers is not small. In the previous life, there was also a city-level range. Even if you take a car, you have to sit for an hour or two.

However, perhaps due to the arrival of the cold winter, all the creatures hibernate in their nests and have not gone out to show their traces, so the blue young dragon flew all the way and did not get any results.

"What the hell, it seems that the kobolds can only search slowly in the future."

Finding nothing, Austin did not continue to fly forward, but returned directly. After a hundred miles or so, he should arrive at the big tribe that the kobolds mentioned. The current blue dragon has no intention of running to stroke their tiger beards. .

On the return journey, Austin did not return along the same route, but detoured a big circle and returned from another direction.

Although the chances of finding other tribes are slim, it's never wrong to cast your net more and search more areas.

Afterwards, Blue Young Dragon was extremely grateful for his decision.

When he flew back to his old nest from another direction, when he was more than ten kilometers away from the nest, he saw thick smoke billowing from the mountains not far away.

In this cold winter, the probability of natural fire is almost zero.

There is fire and smoke, which means that there must be activities of intelligent life in that place, either orcs or humans, and judging from the situation in Kawa Forest, it is obvious that the former is mostly.

It's just that the thick smoke was obviously bigger.
With many thoughts in mind, Austin accelerated and flew forward.

After a while, Austin flew over the mountain where the smoke rose.

What floated in front of my eyes was a dilapidated village that had just experienced the flames of war.

The entire snow-covered white ground turned muddy in that area. The dirty snow mixed with muddy water and turned into ice, stained with dried blood, but there was no corpse to be seen.

This tribe seems to have just suffered a "war".

The victor was obviously very frugal, and all useful things were removed. The scattered five or six simple wooden and thatched houses were first demolished, and everything that could be moved was removed, even the pillars supporting the house were removed and dragged away. , In the end, what is left with no value is a fire that burns it to ashes.

Austin circled it a few times, but found nothing of value, not even a single person, and seemed to have withdrawn.

The blue young dragon thought for a while, circled a few times, and finally landed on the ground.

The surroundings are in chaos. Austin is not Sherlock Holmes, so I can't tell anything, but from the ruins of the houses, it can be roughly guessed that the population gathered here will not exceed 30 people at most. As for the orcs who are the main body, that is What the blue young dragon didn't know.

"Well, although there are bloodstains, there are not many people. It seems that not many people died. It looks more like being driven out of the tribe after being defeated, or captured by all the members."

If they have experienced cruel blood feuds, then the battlefield is not so easy to clean up.

"Look around, there may be some clues."

Having made up his mind, Austin flapped his wings and soared into the air.

If the scattered population can be found, it will be greatly beneficial to the expansion of the strength of Austin's subordinates if they are incorporated into the kobolds' team.

Even if the tribe was captured and annexed in this war, it would be good to find the trace of the victor and plan slowly in the future.

After all, war plunders people much faster than kobolds' natural reproduction.

The blue young dragon turned around in the air and followed the footprints on the ground.

at the same time.

In the kobold village under the blue dragon's lair, a group of kobolds are preparing lunch.

On the stove built with mud bricks, there is a huge stone pot, and the fire is burning underneath, boiling the water in the pot.

Then I took out eight pieces of smoked and dried ghost-head crocodile meat from the warehouse, without scrubbing, I was afraid that the oil and water on the meat would be washed away, and put them directly into the stone pot to cook, and then put the wild grains collected before, and then Add some dried wild vegetables, cook for about half an hour, remove the wooden cover, and a large pot of food with the aroma of meat is cooked.

Due to the smoke on the surface of the bacon, the whole pot of chowder looks a little black, and the wild grains have not shed their shells, so they taste like smoke and seem a little bit throaty.

This kind of food, in Austin's opinion, is obviously the worst dark cuisine, but for these kobolds, it is the most abundant food.

There is oil and meat, and they can still eat. This kind of life is something they have never enjoyed before.

Especially in the cold winter season, in the previous cold winters, the kobolds survived by eating hay and tree roots every day.

Take out the hodgepodge in the stone pot with a bamboo spoon and distribute it on the wooden bowls of each kobold, and then the kobolds started eating in twos and threes.

The smell of food permeates hundreds of meters.

At this moment, in the dense forest one mile away from the kobold village, a dilapidated team was fleeing in embarrassment.

"Leader, leader!"

Quick, the fox-faced man who was following behind, ran forward two steps faster, and grabbed the tribal leader who was running in front of him in a panic, a strong lizard man.

"Boss, we have run far enough, Simon and those guys should not catch up, let's take a rest!"

The fox-faced Quick looked a bit bitter. This tribe was just established this year, and the leader, the lizard man Rodney, once beat a forest lion to death with his fists in front of Quick.

It was also seeing the strength of Rodney the lizardman that Quick the fox-faced man agreed to help him establish a small tribe and gather other orcs to keep warm and spend the dangerous time of cold winter together.

But who knew that the cold winter had just arrived, and a wolf man tribe not far away used the excuse that Rodney and the others had invaded their wolf man territory, and directly attacked the village that Rodney and the others had spent most of the hot summer building.

The leader of the wolf man is a wolf man named Simon. Simon is a transcendent, roughly bronze lower level. Although he is only the lowest level of transcendent, he is a superhuman existence to Quake and other orcs, only the body has changed. It was comparable in size to the leader Lizardman Rodney.

Without any accidents, the tribe established by Rodney was easily defeated by the jackals and driven out of the village. Even the food collected in the hot summer fell into the hands of the jackals.

If the jackals hadn't valued food more than their defeated generals, they might have killed them already.

But even so, the lizardman Rodney and the others did not dare to stay for long, and fled for nearly ten kilometers in embarrassment.

"Lord Rodney, everyone is tired, let's find a place to rest first."
