"A dragon has a strong body, a long and thick neck, a horned or frilled head, sharp teeth, and a long tail. It walks on four powerful legs and uses a pair of bat-like legs to
Wings of giant wings flying.
Its body is covered with strong scales to protect its body. Its eyes have four layers of eyelids, the inner three layers of which are transparent to protect the eyes from damage. The ears can be opened and closed. The teeth are pointed and sharp, and they usually
Curved inward to tear apart prey.
Dragons mostly live in caves and like treasures. There are usually a lot of treasures stored in caves. It can perform breath attacks, which vary depending on the type of dragon. For example, a red dragon can breathe fire, a blue dragon can breathe electricity, etc.
And it will also be immune to energy attacks of the same type.
Dragons have a strong sense of territory. Generally, there is only one dragon in an area and no other creatures. Most of them act alone and sleep all year round. Only when their treasures or territory are violated will they move from
Wake up from your slumber and defend your treasure and territory.
A dragon is a terrifying creature that emits a frightening aura. Depending on the type, it is naturally capable of using special magic.
To sum up, no one can deny that dragons are at the top of the food chain in this world and are absolutely powerful. But since it is a natural member of this world, it means that it must also abide by the laws of nature, that is to say
It is not without weaknesses.
First of all, although the dragon has a long life and a powerful body, its reproductive efficiency is extremely low and its number is small.
Second, due to its large and heavy body, it is not flexible when walking on land, and it requires a long-distance run-up when taking off. During the take-off process, it is extremely vulnerable to attacks.
Third, although it is good at long-distance flight and has amazing speed, it is not as good as the griffon in short-distance flight and maneuverability. If you know its path, you can use griffin knights and other flying knights.
On the way, ambush and kill them.
Fourth, it often goes to sleep. Although it is quite alert, it also means that if you can touch it without being noticed, you can easily assassinate it.
Fifth, no matter what kind of dragon it is, there is a diamond-shaped reverse scale under its neck. This is the weak point of all dragons. Its protective power is extremely weak and it will kill with one strike.
Sixth, because the dragon has an unusual interest and love for gold treasures and all shiny things, this also shows that it is not impossible to bribe.

The sky in May is bright and bright.
There were a few faint gauze-like white clouds floating in the sky. A slight breeze blew, bringing with it the unique green flavor of the green grass on the great plains.
To the north of Lorraine Castle, a straight and wide stone road extends from the city gate to the plain in the west. Since there are no hills or rivers to block it, the road continues westward in the green plain until it reaches the junction of heaven and earth.
Disappeared into the vast grassland.
Under the sun, a butterfly resting on a blooming wisteria was frightened by the sound of hooves, and flew across the avenue with the breeze, passing over the head of the oxcart.
Lorraine sat on the slowly moving bullock cart, shaking the parchment scroll in his hand that was so old that it was almost broken into pieces. Taotao kept introducing to the two people next to him about the things he had made up for.
Dragon knowledge.
Baldo and Ferro looked at each other, and then asked cautiously: "Sir, where did you get all this knowledge?"
Lorraine closed the book casually, looked at the cover, and read word for word: "Jalin Empire Headquarters Document No. 9321 "Report on Analysis of Dragon Habits and Twelve Methods of Killing Dragons"
》.”
Ferro smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, if this... this thing of yours really worked, the capital of the Jialin Empire would not have been destroyed by the dragon."
He thought for a while and then commented: "With all due respect, this method is just like... the story about a group of mice hanging bells on the cat. It looks good and makes sense. But the key to the problem is, which mouse can
Run over and hang a bell on the cat. This is completely theoretical and has no practicality."
Baldo's face suddenly wrinkled, he looked at Lorraine pitifully, and said: "Sir, let's go back. I... I really don't want to die."
Lorraine touched her nose boredly and comforted: "It's OK, it's OK. Don't worry. Although killing a dragon is indeed dangerous, don't forget that that dragon is different from the others.
An idiot dragon. Even if we can't defeat it, we can still deceive it."
"What if I can't fool it..."
Lorraine glared at him fiercely and said: "Bah, you crow's mouth~! You'd better pray to the gods to be able to deceive it, because I want to use you as a bait, young master. If you can't deceive it,
You will be the first to die."
Baldo shuddered and immediately closed his mouth.
Seeing that he still had a grimace on his face, Lorraine could only sigh and tell her true plan: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much. We are just going to check out the situation this time. If there is any bargain, we will
The dragon is gone. If it's too powerful, we can secretly rescue Aunt Nancy and run back."
Baldo was stunned and said: "But sir, you don't want to slay the dragon..."
Lorraine glanced at him angrily, shook his head and said: "Baldo, you are still such an idiot. Sir, don't I just say this to make those dead people pay more taxes in the future? Indifferently
Just go and slay the dragon, you really are a lord and I will be as funny as you~!"
"But all your words have been released..."
"You idiot, sir, it's not that I didn't slay the dragon, but I fought with that evil dragon for eight hundred rounds, until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark... In the end, there was no winner, and there was no way to slay the dragon.
.I don’t believe it. Sir, I will tell you when I get back. Those guys dare to come to the dragon to ask for confirmation from it~!"
"Then if that dragon comes to our castle again..."
Lorraine patted the pile of gunpowder on the car and said, "I'm really convinced by you. It's not like I don't know how powerful the Bodhisattva, Tathagata, shakes his head and thunderbolts for nine heavens and ten earths. As long as that dragon has a little bit of brains."
, it will leave other people's soft persimmons untouched and come here specifically to gnaw on the hard bones like me, young master."
Baldo was stunned for a while, and then he said: "My lordship is so brilliant, I can't even compare to this villain."
Lorraine laughed twice and said: "Nonsense, Sir, I am not better than you, how can I become a Sir?"
Seeing that the expression on Baldo's face became much more relaxed, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you not afraid anymore? If you are not afraid, just drive the car hard and try to reach the foot of Qinglin Mountain tonight."
Baldo agreed, hurriedly sat up straight, waved his whip and rushed to the car.
When the sun set and night fell, Vera was standing on the mountain looking toward her hometown in the distance, her eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance.
At this time, a soft sound of "Gurgling..." came from her belly, and Vera couldn't help but bend down in pain. She touched her belly and murmured in a low voice: "I'm really hungry~!"
Although it was already dark, she couldn't go back without catching any prey. Otherwise, she would be hungry again today.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to say it, she was pampered and raised since she was a child. She never worried about food, and her hunting skills were basically zero. After counting her achievements in the past few days, she only caught a deer, two rabbits, and three birds.
These things are only enough for her to fill the gap between her teeth.
And according to the great and glorious dragon tradition, as a qualified kidnapper, you must not let the hostage starve. Otherwise, it will not be her face alone, but the reputation of the entire dragon clan.
In the songs of countless bards, no matter how bad the evil dragon is, no matter how gloomy and terrifying the castle cave where the princess is imprisoned, and no matter how weird and vicious the trap set for the warrior who saves the princess is, the princess has never been starved to the point of being skin and bones.
Heads and the like, stories that ruined the reputation of the Dragon Clan happened.
There once was a fool who managed to capture a princess, but failed to take good care of her and starved her to a skeleton. Later, when the prince came with a large ransom, he saw that kind of
Due to the situation, he had to return the goods and leave immediately. As a result, the dragon was laughed at by everyone (dragons) for five hundred years.
No matter whoever mentions it, they will use the word "fool" instead.
In order not to let this shame fall on her head, Vera had to starve herself and give food to the hostages first. Therefore, over the past few days, poor Vera found that the hostages did not lose weight due to hunger, but she had enough food.
Lost weight twice.
But when she thought that her first income would be received tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel better again. She raised her head and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and let out a long breath: It's nothing to be hungry, just think of it as losing weight.
As long as he makes all the money and compensates for everyone's losses, he can go home confidently.
And maybe after paying the losses, I will still have a lot of treasures left. By then, I will be considered a small rich man, and I can decorate my shabby dragon cave. Spread all the gold coins and gems on the bed, and then happily
Lying on it...
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her originally bright eyes narrowed into a crescent-like slit when she smiled, and her tail tied with a bow began to sway proudly behind her.
At this moment, "Gu..." there was another soft sound in her stomach, reminding her that her stomach was as empty as a field. Only then did Vera wake up from her fantasy.
"I'm really hungry~!" She sighed, bent down, and hugged her stomach with both hands. Then she looked around, but was still disappointed to find nothing. Finally, she looked at the sky and had no choice but to
Spreading his wings, he turned around and flew towards the temporary cave.
Vera discovered with some pain that she was just as pitiful as the little match girl in the story.
