Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

Xuefeng galloped again. In terms of agility, it was clearly superior to the Violent Dragon, but the surrounding trees were too fragile, and its agility would not be of much advantage here.

Under intense pursuit, Xuefeng ran out of the forest, and the surrounding scene gradually became unfamiliar.

The sky has completely darkened, and the heavy snow in the sky has become more chaotic. The whistling wind blows past my ears, and I feel a chill even if I am wearing warm clothes.

The sound of rapid breathing not only came from Xuefeng, but also the breath of the Violent Dragon came from behind. Shia turned her head to look at it, only to find that the Violent Dragon's eyes had lost focus and were just looking ahead. Instead, his nostrils expanded to their maximum size, quivering with his breathing.

breathe......

Shia understood that the white fur on herself and Xuefeng had played a role. I am afraid that from the perspective of the Violent Dragon, they had become one with the snowy mountain, and it was only tracking them through its sense of smell.

Thinking of this, Shia had a countermeasure. She took out the bag containing the snow deer meat and grabbed the snow containing blood. This was originally a tool for freezing the meat, but now, Shia threw it out, all of them Slap it on the snout of the Tyrannosaurus.

The pungent blood filled the Violent Dragon's sense of smell at that moment. It subconsciously opened its mouth and bit it, but it only held the air. The contact between teeth made a crisp collision sound. At this time, Shia had already let go. Xuefeng fled to the side, avoiding its front.

However, they did not go too far to prevent the Violent Dragon from detecting their location through hearing. One person and one wolf breathed carefully.

Fortunately, the Violent Dragon's IQ didn't seem to be very good. After one bite, it still didn't stop and ran straight forward.

It wasn't until the Violent Dragon's figure disappeared from their sight that Xia and Xuefeng relaxed. Xia fell directly from its back and lay on the snow with its limbs spread out.

"Huh... I was really scared to death just now."

Shia said this, but she showed a bright smile that would last for the rest of her life. She sat up and suddenly covered her buttocks.

The bump just now was really uncomfortable. Holding on to the hair on Xuefeng's body, she managed to stand up.

"It hurts, it hurts... By the way, where is this?"

Shia looked around. Compared with the village, the location here was on the mountain, but the location of the village could not be seen. Looking around, there was only dazzling heavy snow.

She raised her head again and looked around, trying to find familiar scenery, but she found nothing in the dim scenery.

The chill made Shia couldn't help but cross her arms, and at the same time she saw Xuefeng sniffing the air with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?"

Shia asked while exhaling white air.

Xuefeng purred, indicating that he was fine.Judging from its expression, it seemed to have thought of something.

Shia did not ask, but looked around, with a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.

She understood that she was lost in a snowstorm, and although she had a way to deal with this situation living in the snowy mountains, it was not absolutely safe.

The most important thing now is to find a safe place to stay and wait until the storm subsides.

Shia looked at the soles of her feet and the snow that was already up to her knees, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.

The snow here is too thin. It is obviously unrealistic to dig a snow cave to resist the cold wind. It will collapse too easily.

If she stayed under Xuefeng, she would be warm and full, but no one knew how long the wind and snow would last. Even if she was safe by then, she would not want to see Xuefeng fall.

"Xue Feng, do you know of any safe places nearby?"

In desperation, she looked at Xuefeng who seemed to know something.

"..."

Xuefeng turned his head and looked at her face which was slightly red from the cold. He was silent for a moment and nodded.

It walked with Shia, and took the initiative to stand in the direction of the wind and snow to block her, and climbed towards the top of the mountain step by step.

...As they got closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Shia gradually felt something strange.

The snowstorm was still fierce, but for some reason, the surroundings became warmer, as if there was a large heat source nearby.

Along with the loss of physical strength caused by the cold, Shia began to pant slightly, and fatigue gradually surged into her body. Fortunately, when Shia's physical strength was about to bottom out, Xuefeng stopped.

"Huh... are you here?"

Shia breathed out, looked forward, and suddenly her eyes widened.

At this moment, there was a huge pothole in front of him. Under the pothole was not a scene covered with snow, but bright and fiery red rocks!

The snowflakes fell on the rocks and melted not long after, and the melted water did not make the space underneath at all humid, but remained extremely dry.

"......what is this......"

Shia's gaze shifted, and Shia immediately opened her mouth, because she discovered that in the corner of the pothole, there was a pool with orange light, which was constantly emitting light and heat. Even if there were snowflakes falling in the sky, it would still be there. The moment it fell to the ground, it melted into raindrops, and then fell on the pool and quickly evaporated.

"Could this be the magma mentioned in the book...Is this a volcano?"

For a moment, Shia was confused.

Chapter 126: The sleeping boulder

"Horrrrrrrrrr..."

Xuefeng's purring sounded from the side, with an obvious warning in his tone.

Hearing this, Xia was a little confused, but she still replied: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look and I won't go down."

She turned to look at Xuefeng and looked at the inside of the pothole warily. She suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud: "Speaking of which, when we first met, could it be that the burn marks on your body were left here? Was it down?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of Xuefeng's hurried movements after being burned when he carefully touched the lava.

"..."

Xuefeng turned its head, obviously unhappy, but soon, when Shia was about to comfort it, it turned back, looked at the corner of the hole inside, and raised its head to signal her to look there.

"What's wrong?" Shia turned her head and looked in that direction, but there was only an ordinary stone there, and she looked puzzled: "It's just an ordinary stone. Is there anything strange about it?"

The only strange thing about it is that the stone is really ridiculously big. According to Shia's visual inspection, even the length is 30 meters.

——But the next moment, Shia, who was looking at the stone, seemed to feel something. Her pupils instantly tightened, the hair on her arms exploded, and she tensed her muscles as she looked at the stone.

She smelled it, the pungent smell, with a chilling aura that made her shudder even at such a temperature.

Shia saw clearly the true face of that "stone" - it was not a stone at all, but a huge creature curled up!

After realizing this, Shia's breathing began to quicken, but her eyes were always fixed on the boulder.

It should look like a huge creature covered with a lot of impurities. What Shia saw was just the shell. As for the true appearance, she still didn't know.

She didn't know whether the creature was dead or alive, or even its current state. She could only vaguely see structures like limbs and wings.

Shia clenched the two knives on her body uneasily, and Shia remained tense. It was not until Xuefeng stood beside her and nudged her with his head that Shia calmed down.

She took a long breath, her body began to relax, and she whispered, "Thank you, Xuefeng."

She and Xuefeng lay down, clinging to each other and using the temperature of the volcano to keep warm. However, during this period, Shia kept looking at the stone and did not fall asleep at all.

......

The weather was good, and the blizzard calmed down early the next morning. Shia sat on the snowy peak and left the place without looking back. After retrieving the firewood she had dropped while being chased by the violent dragon, she successfully returned to the village. .

"——Sister, you are back."

Rachel lay on the bed and looked at Shia and said in surprise.

Immediately, she noticed the deep tiredness on Shia's face.

"...what happened?"

"Well, something happened..."

After placing the firewood in a dry place, Shia took off her thick thermal clothes without even eating, and came to Rachel's bedside wearing only her shirt.

"Let me rest for a while."

In order to take close care of Rachel, the two sisters always sleep in the same bed. This also makes it easier for Shia's body temperature to better warm her sister's body.

Even after lying in bed for a long time, the temperature in the quilt was still not as high as Rachel's body temperature after she had just returned from hunting. Rachel did not dislike it at all, but hugged her closely, listening to Shia's subtle snoring as she quickly fell asleep. He also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

...When it got a little dark, Shia woke up. Facing Rachel's questioning, she told her sister everything about yesterday without hiding anything.

However, Rachel was more interested in the snow-covered volcano than the violent dragons and stone-like creatures that Shia mentioned.

"Even heavy snow can't extinguish the warmth... I really want to see it."

Hearing the yearning in Rachel's tone, Shia just smiled bitterly.

After lying on the bed for a while, Shia got up and started working.

After cooking for Rachel, checking the health of the Discocorns, replenishing forage for them, and preparing a basin of broth for Xuefeng, she dressed up and went out to the goddess's house.

"——Are you here to deliver the snow antlers, Shia?"

The Goddess sat across from Shia, drinking the pungent medicinal soup, and showed a smile that made Shia feel uncomfortable.

She has been a little disgusted with the Goddess since she was a child, maybe because she watched the Goddess’ crazy movements during worship, or because she couldn’t understand the language when she drank the medicine that was said to be able to communicate with the gods... In short, under her influence Xia Xia began to hate religious activities such as worship.

However, she did not show these emotions, but kept these emotions inside.But just because of this, Shia, who is not as enthusiastic about pursuing her faith as others, is already considered an alien in the eyes of the villagers.

,

"I have collected three pairs so far. I will give them to you when I get the medicine next time. I have something important to report to you this time."

Hearing Shia's words, a hint of disappointment appeared in front of the goddess, and her tone became a little cold: "Well, let's talk about it."

After looking up at the attitude of Granny, Shia replied: "...While hunting yesterday, I met that 'violent maniac', and it was more than that..."

After briefly describing yesterday's experience, she looked at the goddess who suddenly let go of her hand and poured the bowl onto the sand pit.

"Are you really not lying? Are you really a 'violent fanatic'?" Goddess looked at Shia, her hands trembling a little.

"It must be it. I can't remember its taste."

Looking at Shia who looked confident, Goddess looked flustered.

"Why did it get so close here? We have already moved away..."

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her eyes gradually became confused, and her words became increasingly confused: "What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do..."

"Master Priest!"

Seeing her crazy look, a feeling of discomfort emerged from her heart, and Shia frowned and shouted.With a flash of clarity in her eyes, the goddess paused and looked at her for a moment, then ran into the inner room as if she had just woken up from a dream.After a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the goddess walked out calmly after a while and sat back in front of Shia again.

"...I just communicated with God, and He has told me what I should do. Go and call everyone in the village."

Seeing the words of the goddess, Shia frowned slightly. She didn't say anything on the surface, but she obviously didn't believe what she said.

But there was no other way. The goddess had the highest pharmacological knowledge in the village. Shea had no choice but to do whatever she said.

Chapter 127: The Awakening Black Dragon

——When Shia called everyone to the round pile in the village, the goddess was already standing in front of the high platform with the column.

She was wearing a robe made of animal bones and skins, and she looked extremely weird.

She first told everyone what Shia had told them, but when they looked panicked, the expressions on the goddess's faces crowded together again, revealing a weird smile:

"Don't panic, everyone. I have just heard God's instructions. As long as we follow His instructions, we will all be safe!"

After hearing these words, the expressions of the villagers relaxed and they looked at the goddess expectantly.

The goddess opened her hands and shouted: "Everyone, as long as each family takes out a pan-horned beast and feeds it to the 'violent gangsters', it will not hurt us when it is full!"

Hearing this, Shia frowned and looked around, only to find that the people around her looked confused and showed recognition.

Shia didn't understand why they agreed with the goddess's words. Logically speaking, shouldn't they work together to defeat the violent dragon?

...But no matter how reluctant Shia was, with the approval of everyone, she had no room to refute and could only approve this choice.

"Then, let's all go back. After we find the traces of the madman in a few days, we will bring the Panhorn Beast here and disperse."

The goddess said, but Shia raised her hand and shouted in the crowd: "Wait a minute, priest!"

When the goddess looked at her, Shia asked: "About that stone-like creature in the volcano, don't we go investigate?"

Although the life and death of the creature in the stone was unknown, she had an intuition that it would be the biggest mistake to just ignore it. The oncoming sense of oppression was something that even the violent dragon could not match.

"Don't worry about that volcano. I'll ask a few hunters to check it out in a few days."

The goddess's tone was calm, as if she had expected it.

Perhaps for the Goddess and other villagers, the only thing worth paying attention to is the volcano that was suddenly born in the heavy snow. The creature sleeping in the volcano is just a foil. However, the Goddess's indifferent attitude makes Shia even more worried. got up.

......

click...click...

In the snowfield volcano, the big stone suddenly trembled, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the stone. Then the cracks expanded, revealing the black scales inside.
