Chapter 28 Bear Habitat
The habitat of bear lizards is a good place with holes, water, food and drink. Six continuous caves and a complete set of hot spring water systems allow the bear lizards to live comfortably. They catch fish and shrimp from the surrounding underground rivers, use some lichens and mushrooms to balance their meals, or siege some intruders to make teeth sacrifices. Their cubs can grow safely and healthily, their geological environment is not affected by underground changes, and their strong friendship with the Jiangu people has never been shaken.
Since the Jian Gu City, the Jian Gu people have transformed the original caves, strengthened the structure of the caves, and improved the comfort of the environment. They have never spared any effort in these work. In order to maintain the fighting wildness of the bear lizard, if the bear lizard is not raised into a pet, their nests must be far away from Jian Gu City. It is said that humans use the garbage around their settlements to raise wolves into dogs. Although dogs are also very good, in the more dangerous underground world, dwarves need wolves, and they have to be big wolves.
Whenever the hunting team tries or the guards expand the bear cavalry, the bear lizard nest will usher in a happy festival. Bear lizards, which have grown into strong men or toned girls, actively sign up to become comrades with the Jiangu people they like. First, they can leave the nest and reduce the burden here, and second, they can obtain a longer life span with the Jiangu people. As for going out to see new things, increase intelligence to better understand the world, these are all additional benefits, not the focus (perhaps).
The reason why the wild bear lizards are able to establish a comrade-in-arms link with the Jiangu people is because the wild bear lizards have the same temper as the Jiangu people in many places. They are tough, united, stubborn, carefree in many places, but they are very upholding in some aspects and have special pride.
For example, at the "Meeting with Jiangu people and choosing your favorite comrades-in-arms Association", each bear lizard will only choose its own comrades-in-arms once and will not give a second chance. What they want is the moment of heartbeat, which will neither "discharge" multiple people, nor will it allow the comrades-in-arms they choose to take away two bear lizards.
Nine people came this year, but unfortunately two of them were hunters. They already had their own bear lizards, so only seven bear lizards could find their comrades. This group of young hunters were all very energetic and had already prepared equipment to meet the challenges and enter the wilderness. Therefore, the association was going very fast, and the seven bear lizards found suitable matching comrades.
The other bear lizards returned in disappointment and waited for the next sorority meeting, but some of them might not have a chance. The smell of incense gradually dissipated, and the friendship cave completely calmed down. After another seven days, Dagon arrived here.
He was wearing Valde's clothes and was covered in dust, but his mental state was in good condition. The bruises he had suffered in the underground river had disappeared, leaving only his ribs with a faint pain. He had one missing axe, and the hunting axe was still stained with blood. Thanks to several victorious battles, Dagon had a simple leather bag on his back, which contained meat.
The remaining meat in the bag means that his stomach is full. On the way he came, he was lucky enough to break into a nest for crab fishing, and exchanged a flying axe that he couldn't pick up, and exchanged it for a fat crab. Thanks to the leader of the Bardes who told them in detail how to deal with crab fishing in the cave, Dagon obtained nearly 80 kilograms of crab meat.
He had never been so rich. For the first time in his life, he said something like "I'm full, I really can't eat it anymore." Afterwards, he found a hunting path built by the Jiangu hunting team near the crab nest, and successfully returned to the main road, and then he went to the bear lizard nest.
"The bear lizard has a strong smell, and there are still signs of recent camping and activities here. Hey, there is a brand here." Dagon took off his backpack and looked over. "Ha, it's here. The hunter trial stops here, don't disturb the daily life of the bear lizard."
The bear lizard is a comrade-in-arms, and the comrade-in-arms' homes cannot be rushed around. This is the minimum respect. The sign in front of Dagon is a warning. "Dad once said that this cave looks like thirty stone tables and stone stools, and each Jiangu tribe uses one. Oh, these slightly raised ones should be tables and stools, right? They are much shorter than I imagined."
It was said that it was a stone table, but it was actually more than ten centimeters higher than the ground. Dagon found a table without burning marks, poured some water from the skin and wiped it clean, and then took out the incense. Just as he was about to light the incense, footsteps came from the tunnel behind him.
The hunting axe was immediately held in his hand, and Dagon was back against the rock wall and prepared to defend himself. With the sound of footsteps, he heard a strange puff sound, as if something was leaking. He immediately thought of someone, but he was a little unbelievable.
Doma came out of the tunnel, with his hands behind him, followed by a beautiful bear lizard with gorgeous fur. He whistled, and it was not at all. His broken face was leaking everywhere when he was young, and then he was breathing out a puff sound.
He didn't notice Dagon when he first walked into the cave, but the bear lizard smelled the smell and immediately bit Doma's hand, pulled him back, and walked to the front and grinned.
"Dorma!" Dagon left the rock wall and showed up with a laugh: "Wow, hahaha! I didn't expect you to be still here!"
Doma was stunned for a moment, and then her face bloomed like a chrysanthemum. "I knew you couldn't die! Hahaha! Where did you die?!"
"What are you saying?" Dagon threw the hunting axe to the ground, ran over and hugged Doma, and then the two of them collided with each other's heads and elbows. "How about it, are you all okay?"
"Everything is fine, all is fine! We returned to the main road and met two hunters. After listening to our story, we took us here. We all have a bear lizard to introduce me to you." Doma straightened his chest and proudly made his face glow. "This is Junlong, big and beautiful. We both met at first sight."
The handsome dragon is worthy of its name, with a large skeleton, strong flesh, and powerful appearance. There are two black hairs above its eyes, as if it is pointed at a slanted eyebrows, and it is powerful without anger. Dagon has never seen such a beautiful bear lizard, so he wants to reach out and touch it as if it is shining with seven colors.
Unexpectedly, the bear lizard Junlong pushed Dagon's hand with his nose, snorted, and then retreated behind Doma. It stuck out its tongue and gently licked Doma's palm, looking at Dagon with ignoring it. "Hahaha, it thinks you are ugly and doesn't want to pay attention to you." Doma was so happy that he never stopped laughing.
"If it thinks I'm ugly and you're pretty, it's better to check your brain or eyes." Dagon shook his head, really unable to figure out how these two got together. "Doma, you've experienced summoning the bear lizard once, tell me what to do. By the way, tell me how others do it, don't say anything about yours. I just want a normal bear lizard."
"I feel like you have something in your words, and it seems that you are secretly burying me." Doma didn't care, but just patted Dagon's shoulder hard: "Okay, I'll tell you generously. Put the incense of the bear lizard on the platform, ignite it with a light fire, burn it in shade, and smoke more. Sitting next to the incense, praying to God Aoli, the bear lizard will come in a while."
"Well, that's so simple." Dagon took out a piece of incense and placed it on the table, but saw Doma take out another piece. The piece in his hand looked strange, with an extremely irregular shape, and looked a bit crude and inferior.
"After finding the bear lizard, everyone took down the remaining unburned incense and pinched it back into one. They said that if you really could come, it would be miserable without the incense. Of course, they actually didn't think you could survive. I was actually only going to wait here for ten days." Doma handed the incense to Dagon and said, "The more incense, the more bear lizards it will attract. We lit seven pieces, and nearly thirty bear lizards came. If you only have one piece, I'm worried you won't have to pick it up."
"Thank you for waiting for me." Dagon took the incense and put it on the stone table with the previous piece. He took out all the incense from his backpack and piled it into a zigzag shape.
Doma's eyes were straightened. He looked at Dagon carefully and then realized whose things he was wearing were all wearing. He hesitated for a moment, and felt that he had to ask: "Captain Valde failed to survive?"
"Well. He and his bear lizard are dead. I can't bury them, I can only burn them with fire." Dagon took out the mushrooms and rubbed the fibers, flint and iron sheets aside. Regarding the topic of Valde, Dagon didn't want to talk deeply, so he changed it: "Doma, why are you waiting for me for ten days?"
"Your ability is so great. If you can't pass ten days, it means you have encountered a dilemma that your own ability is completely insurmountable, and you should be dead."
"Then you are wrong. Look there, there are nearly 60 kilograms of crab meat in the hole to catch! I found a hole, and there were more than 20 pieces in it. Do you know how I defeated them?"
"So many? Then you will definitely not be able to beat the front. If you use a strange idea, you will definitely find somewhere to catch the shells of the crabs. That thing is not afraid of spinning silk, which can ensure that you are not tangled and pulled away. There is nothing new left, but you just grab it when you hit it, run away when you catch it, and eat when you run away."
"You ugly guy is pretty smart, you're almost caught up with me!" Dagon laughed, knocking on the flint, sprinkling the sparks on the flammable loose fibers, slowly blowing the flames.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that I have something to tell you." Doma approached Dagon and said, "We found a warning sign in a hidden place on the roadside. It said that the suspension bridge in Koushui Gorge is in danger and is waiting for repair and cannot be used. Someone pulled out the sign and threw it away. The hunters are checking who is so bad."
"Hiss... there is such a thing, it's so bad!"
"There is another thing that makes me feel that something is wrong," said Doma. "The two hunters who sent us said that they worked together to kill a frost snake while hunting nearby, and then rushed to chase the next prey, so they left the snake in place. After returning, the snake disappeared. At that time, Barde was in charge of logistics and guarding. He said that a monster snatched the snake meat and did not see clearly what the monster looked like. Barde made up for the mistake by dividing the other prey, and everyone only had some snake skins, which was quite a loss."
"The frost snake's flesh can be preserved for a long time," said Dagon.
"Yes, I think so too. So I asked them about Valde's situation." Doma blinked: "They said Valde is usually responsible for the chores of the hunting team and rarely participate in battles. He is very good at sorting things, keeping accounts and other work. He is also very good at memory and good people, so this time he asked him to lead the team for trial. I think now that Valde doesn't seem to be powerful, and he's all in his mouth. The frost snake was hidden in advance to show off."
"What you said makes sense." Dagon saw that the incense began to smoke, so he slapped his hands to make the spirit go higher, faster and farther. "Bald had a big problem, but he was dead. I'm just worried about when my bear lizard will come out?"
