Chapter 145

Telingewei thought for a moment, "A reputation for being a lover of learning?"

Previously, the legends about the dragons in the Magic Forest all referred to the giant dragon that resided on Gold Coin Mountain.

Now, the legends about the dragon in the Magic Forest have probably been replaced by that dragon who loves learning, or perhaps even the dragon who likes to ask others to do his/her homework.

Thinking about this made Telingewei feel happier.

They are all beings that are feared by others.

Clearly, A-Han's "fearsome" quality pleased the dragon more.

See you tonight.

Thanks to the weird little girl (*2), Ji, libra123, and Nanzhi for mines.

Chapter 145 [VIP]

Xie Juanhan read many books and copied many notes in the Elf territory, so they returned later than the other guests.

This delay meant that the first snow of early winter fell.

When we arrived, the earth was still a gray-brown expanse, and everything was desolate. When we left, the land was covered in silver, and snow blanketed the land for miles.

Harper and the others have grown incredibly thick fur this year, each one looking like a little ball of fluff.

They are not afraid of the cold; on the contrary, they long for the first snow of winter.

With nothing else to do on the way back, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei found a suitable spot to stop, set up camp, and let the kids play in the snow.

The little ones rushed out into the snow and rolled around in the thick, fresh snow.

The freshly fallen snow is fluffy and not damp at all; instead, it has a dry feel.

When you dig through the snow, the sunlight shines through, reflecting a bluish glow, like tiny blue lights hidden in the snow.

Nibote hadn't done this before, and was most excited about the blue light under the snow.

It sticks its rear end out and paws at things with its big paws, making a hole with each paw, and then another hole with each paw.

Soon, a row of snow caves radiating a pale blue light appeared in this deserted and unfamiliar forest, like streetlights specially dug out by some underground Pixie.

The little ones got really into playing and had a blast.

They roll around in the snow, cleaning their thick fur, and then lie down in the snow, motionless.

Both the Demon Wolf and the Griffin are large Demonic Beast and are completely unafraid of the cold.

The Dragon Companion Beast are fire-attribute Demonic Beast that can breathe fireballs and are not afraid of the cold.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei ignored them and went for a stroll nearby, hand in hand.

The unfamiliar forest was quite pleasant for them to explore; finding a secluded spot even made it easier for them to kiss.

Even dragons have their moments of indulging in certain things.

When they returned, it was almost dark, and all the furry creatures were waiting at the camp.

When they saw them return, the furry creatures all looked up, their eyes shining brightly at them.

"What?" Xie Juanhan pursed his bright red lips and took a step back, holding Telingewei's hand.

These guys' eyes were practically as bright as light bulbs; it was a little scary.

Oh no, I mean, a scary dragon.

Just as Xie Juanhan was wondering if the little guys had figured something out, Harper suddenly chirped twice and pulled a grayish-brown object out of the snow to show them.

"A feather?" Xie Juanhan squatted down and took the grayish-brown feather. "Where did you get this?"

The Companion Beast turned to look at Moli: "Chirp!"

"Moli found it?" Xie Juanhan vaguely understood. "These are the feathers of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird?"

Moli whimpered, "Ugh—"

Moli once fought with the great Demon Wolf of his tribe.

System

I have learned hunting techniques.

It has been practicing for so long.

When they left the Elf territory, they sniffed the cage where the Tuonai'er Demon Bird had been imprisoned.

Upon arriving in this forest, it used its exceptional sense of smell to find the feathers shed by the Tuonai'er Demon Bird in the vast Magic Forest.

"You actually found it like that?" Xie Juanhan's eyes widened in amazement. "Moli, you're amazing!"

Moli let out another "woof," indicating that the snow had cleaned the forest and brought out all sorts of smells.

Xie Juanhan hugged the huge wolf head and rubbed it, then turned to Telingewei and said, "Since Moli has already found the trail of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird, why don't we stay here for a day and see if we can find this Demon Bird?"

Telingewei nodded. "Let's go look for it early tomorrow."

The furry creatures were extremely interested in this Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

The next morning, before dawn, they excitedly got up and, dragging the two dragons, searched the fields by the light of the snow.

Moli's incredible sense of smell could detect the faintest odors in the air.

It led the way and quickly caught the scent of the fresh Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

The Tuonai'er Demon Bird was extremely alert.

Although Xie Juanhan and his companions slowed their pace, once they got within a certain distance of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird, the Demon Bird immediately abandoned its pecking at the roots beneath the snow, raised its long neck, glanced at them, and then took off running.

It was almost as big as a crane, yet it ran faster than any Demonic Beast Xie Juanhan had ever seen.

When it took off running at top speed with its two thick legs, even Xie Juanhan's eyesight made it seem like it was about to become a blur.

Its long tail fluttered like a flag in the wind.

That's so fast!

Perhaps only certain Demon Bird skilled in high-speed flight can match its speed!

The Tuonai'er Demon Bird was incredibly fast, Xie Juanhan and his companions were no pushovers either.

The moment the Tuonai'er Demon Bird disappeared, the two dragons exchanged a glance, instantly transformed back into their dragon forms, and chased after it together.

While chasing, the White Dragon didn't forget to spit a mouthful of ice at the Demon Bird in front of him, trying to hit it.

The two dragons were incredibly fast, yet they still couldn't catch up with the Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

The Demon Bird in front only ran a few hundred meters before it instantly disappeared into a dark underground passage.

If they were in the air, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei could barely keep up with the little guy's speed.

It darted into the network of underground passages, and the two dragons, being so large, were completely unable to catch it.

"Chirp!" Harper and the others pawed at the ground and excitedly ran over.

Xie Juanhan, now back in human form, spread his hands to indicate that he hadn't caught anything.

"Chirp?!" Harper and the others didn't believe it and ran over to sniff Xie Juanhan's palm.

They were panting heavily as they ran the short distance, their hot breath hitting Xie Juanhan's hands as if carrying eager expectations.

Xie Juanhan let them smell it.

Undeterred, they came forward one by one, sniffing every single one of Xie Juanhan's fingers, but still couldn't detect the scent of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

"Chirp chirp?" The Companion Beast looked up and chirped in disappointment.

"There's nothing we can do, it's too fast and incredibly good at dodging." Xie Juanhan patted Haxi's head to comfort him, "Sure enough, heaven gave it delicious meat and matched it with corresponding speed to prevent it from going extinct."

Telingewei: "There might be more than one exit. Let's look around the area."

Upon hearing this, the furry creatures immediately made way for Moli to come forward.

Moli sniffed at the cave entrance and nodded steadily.

Habu and the others took turns going forward and sniffing at the entrance of the cave.

Unfortunately, their innate sense of smell is not as good as that of the Demon Wolf, and after sniffing for a long time, they didn't detect much useful information.

Xie Juanhan: "Let's split up and search. Hunting requires patience."

The furry creatures all responded with a roar!

The furry creatures followed Moli's instructions and stood guard at each cave entrance.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei also searched for other clues about the Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

After walking a short distance to the side, Xie Juanhan said, "This Demon Bird looks quite like a kind of bird from my hometown."

Telingewei: "Also Demon Bird?"

Xie Juanhan: "No, it's just an ordinary bird called a 'Great Roadrunner,' which is also very good at running. However, it's much slower than the Tuonai'er Demon Bird."

Xie Juanhan looked at the vast, white earth.

They did not have the same keen sense of smell as Moli, nor did they have the habit of hunting by smell.

Xie Juanhan simply took out a handful of gold coins to perform divination.

Cheating through metaphysics is still more reliable.

The divination indicates great fortune; they will most likely succeed in capturing the Demon Bird.

Xie Juanhan glanced at the divination result, put away the gold coins, and pulled Telingewei away in the direction indicated by the divination.

While they searched according to the divination, the furry creatures, under Moli's command, were already guarding the various cave entrances.

There were ten of them, a more than enough number.

However, they did not anticipate that they would be so confident in hunting the Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

When they separated, the Tuonai'er Demon Bird hid in the tunnel, its eyes darting around as it watched the plump Companion Beast outside the cave entrance, full of confidence.

Habu stood guard at the entrance of the cave, its wet little nose pressed against the opening, sniffing intently.

The scent of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird is nearby.

It sensed that it would soon catch the Tuonai'er Demon Bird, so it excitedly turned to Harper to inform him.

In that instant, the Tuonai'er Demon Bird's beady eyes stared intently at it, and with a stretch of its long, supple neck, its pincer-like beak snapped into Habu's back.

Habu: "Gah?!"

Before it could utter a second sound, the Tuonai'er Demon Bird had already shrunk its neck and snatched Habu whole into the tunnel.

Habu's vision went black, and he screamed in terror.

Fortunately, as Dragon Companion Beast, it had spent many years in the Magic Forest and had ample experience in both hunting and being hunted.

In the instant it was snatched away, it rolled over with its sturdy body, tumbling right off the beak of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

It didn't linger in the fight; as soon as it broke free, it darted towards the cave entrance.

Now it was Tuonai'er Demon Bird's turn to be stunned.

It blinked, took a few steps forward with its paws, and seemed to be giving chase.
