Chapter 1605 [Claws of the Wasteland 9] Ruins
In the center of the Oasis Lake, on a simple small raft used for fishing.
The boy wrapped his clothes tightly around himself and hugged his knees.
There was a lot of moisture on the lake, and coupled with the cold night wind, he felt like he was about to freeze to death.
I want to go back to the warm campfire, I want to crawl into the sheltered tent, I want to fall asleep in the warm bed listening to my grandma’s stories like usual.
When I woke up, the sun had regained the sky and it was another sunny and hot day.
The boy closed his eyes tightly and waited for several seconds before opening them again, hoping to find that everything that had happened before was just a nightmare.
But unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, all he saw was the dark lake that seemed to devour the soul, and the ruins of a settlement with flickering fire on the lakeside in the distance.
The village is truly destroyed.
From afar, he could vaguely see yellow speed dragons gathering towards the ruins. He wondered if anyone in the village was as lucky as himself to survive.
People feel sad when they lose a loved one, but what about losing everything overnight?
Instead, I felt like I couldn't cry, as if the whole world had collapsed.
"Ji Ga!"
The boy hugged his knees and stared at the lake in a daze until he was awakened by the roar of a velociraptor in the distance.
He subconsciously paddled a few times, trying to get further away from the direction where the roar came from, but at this moment, a dangerous idea emerged in his mind.
Anyway, everyone is dead. If I continue to hide here, the yellow speed dragon can't bite me, but I might drown at any time if the raft is blown over by the wind, or I might be frozen to death in the night wind that is close to freezing point.
Might as well risk going back to shore and taking a look.
Maybe there is someone like me who is still alive and waiting for help, maybe my grandmother, my uncle, or my sister next door.
Thinking of this, the young man could no longer stay there. He paddled hard and headed towards the settlement on the shore.
When the raft came to the shore, he jumped off the raft impatiently, grabbed the rope, and pulled the raft towards the shore with force to prevent the raft from being washed away by the waves.
After looking around and confirming that there was no trace of Huang Sulong around, he bent over, took cover under the trees and bushes, and carefully continued walking towards the direction of the settlement ruins.
"Ji Ga——!"
The roar of the yellow speed dragon not far away scared him so much that he shivered and quickly hid in a bush of large leaves beside him.
Through the gaps between the leaves, he saw the yellow speed dragon that had come nearby look around and then continue running forward.
Fortunately it was not discovered.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could come out of the bushes where he was hiding, another yellow velociraptor ran by.
Why are so many jumping animals gathering here? Is there so much food here?
Such a thought popped up in the boy's mind, and then he realized what it meant. He could not stay still any longer. He bit his lip, came out of the bushes, and ran towards the village at a faster pace.
When he reached the edge of the ruins of the settlement, he paused again.
What was happening here was a little different from what he expected.
The horrifying scene he imagined of yellow speed dragons gathering together and sharing the corpses of their relatives and friends did not appear. Instead, they gathered in groups around the hill-like corpse of the tail-axe dragon.
It stands to reason that with their bite force and tooth size, it would be very difficult to bite open the tough skin of the Axolotl that is more than half a meter thick, but the Bombosaurus helped them a lot.
These desert bandits rushed their heads into the huge wounds opened by the sharp claws of the thunder dragons, greedily tearing out the soft internal organs and fat and feasting on them.
The boy was stunned for two seconds, then realized that this was his chance.
The yellow dragons are busy eating, so he can search for survivors safely!
Putting his hands together and bowing to the poor creature, the boy turned around and ran into the ruins. The first place he searched was naturally the location of his own tent. Maybe, maybe his grandmother was still alive!
With such an optimistic idea in mind, the boy ran to the collapsed tent and was surprised to find something moving under the tent cloth.
"grandmother!"
The boy excitedly lifted the tarpaulin, and the next second, his face turned pale.
A stunted yellow dragon, not much bigger than a sheep, was hiding in the tent and gnawing on a corpse.
Compared with its peers, it was too thin and small, and was not even qualified to join the big meal over there. Fortunately, they had enough prey tonight, so even it could easily eat its fill.
The arrival of the young man scared the yellow speed dragon, but it soon found that the visitor was a guy weaker than it, and its nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was immediately aroused.
It dropped the half-eaten corpse in front of it and let out a demonstrative hiss at the boy.
The boy forgot even his fear at this moment. He pounced forward with red eyes, wanting to fight with the yellow speed dragon, even though he didn't even have a wooden stick in his hand.
The skinny Huang Sulong was caught off guard and staggered after being knocked down by the young man. Then he reacted and shook his head, knocking over the young man who was pouncing on him.
It opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, rushed forward, and was about to lower its head to rip open the boy's throat.
A figure came rushing over with big strides.
The skinny Huang Sulong was knocked several meters away and rolled to the ground wailing.
The man didn't even give it a chance to struggle to its feet. He stomped on its neck and broke it.
"Hey! Kid, are you okay?" After confirming that Huang Sulong was dead, Haifa turned around and asked the boy.
The boy was stunned for several seconds before he reacted and said subconsciously: "It's you!"
"Alright, you brave brat, there's no time for nonsense." A large tattooed hand pressed his head from behind and rubbed it.
"Haifa, go and see if there are any survivors nearby, and kill all those yellow speed dragons." After giving a simple instruction to his daughter, Maridan looked at the boy.
"What's going on here? There was another hunter earlier. Do you know where she went?"
It has to be said that Maridan's face was quite scary. It was not surprising that timid children would be scared to tears when they saw her.
But the boy felt a little familiar with him, at least he was a human being.
He wiped his face with his sleeves. "It was Tiaotiao and a striped earth-yellow dragon. They killed everyone and destroyed the village! Many people died.
Ah! That hunter sister is fighting with that khaki dragon, they are heading in that direction!"
Haifa heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. "The 'big guy' he mentioned is the Tailedaxon, our original target.
And that khaki dragon, it should be a Boom Dragon, right? If it is a Boom Dragon, Huali should be fine, that guy is pretty strong."
Before Haifa could finish his words, his mother, Maridan, interrupted him with her foot.
The latter kicked her on the thigh and yelled, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and search for survivors and eliminate Huang Sulong!"
"Just talk nicely and stop touching me." Haifa muttered and was about to leave.
Malidan stopped her again and said, "Wait a minute, take this kid with you. I'll follow the trail to Huali's place. I'm afraid the situation is not good."
"Ah? Isn't it just a Boom Dragon? It's not easy for Huali to hunt alone, but she should have no problem protecting herself, right?"
"It's not that easy for an ordinary Dynamo Dragon to kill a Tail Axe Dragon." Malidan looked in the direction of the huge corpse outside the village, "And those claw marks, that kid must have drawn the worst lot.
You actually wandered around here, Hooked Claw?"
