Savage Little Dragon Maiden

Alan the tree climber

Ellie was awakened by the heat.

She opened her eyes dazedly.

There was no one around, and her monster was nowhere to be found... Turning around, the bear monster's body was still not far away.

Monster? ? ?

Her monster...

Ellie sighed.

It's better not to call it a monster. After all, it and I are comrades on the same front, and it has tried its best to protect me. Let's give it a name!

After thinking for a long time, Ellie decided to give it her last name, so, let's call it... Allen!

She was sweating all over.

Looking up at the huge flaming sun hanging diagonally in the sky, Ellie was a little at a loss.

Where did Allen go?

She squinted her eyes and observed the bear monster's body. She found that only half of the bear monster's body was left, the upper limbs and internal organs were gone, and there was a shallow, bloody drag mark on the grass.

Ellie thought for a long time.

It is said that wild animals are territorial. Maybe Allen dragged the corpse of the bear monster to patrol its territory; because the corpse of the bear monster is also the best deterrent!

Ellie was so hot that she got up from the ground and walked towards the tree.

As soon as she approached, she saw her white eggshell was placed between the branches of the big tree...

Ellie looked up at the huge half eggshell and opened her mouth wide.

Is there any need to ask?

This must be done by Allen.

But why did it do this? Eggshells are afraid of the sun? Eggshells are very useful? So it took the effort to place the eggshells on the branches of the tree and use the branches of the big tree to provide shade?

Ellie climbed up the tree.

She leaned over to the eggshell and took a look, and found that there was still a thin layer of clear and sticky egg liquid in the eggshell...

After observing carefully for a long time, Ellie finally plucked up the courage and licked the edge of the eggshell.

——Sweet!!!

Her eyes widened immediately.

After a moment of daze, she licked the eggshell carefully again.

The eggshell was very thick, and she estimated that she could not bite it, but after licking it for a while, Ellie found that... the eggshell was actually very easy to be licked and melted, and it was so sweet that she felt sick after just two licks...

Ellie's mind flashed, and she immediately understood!

The closed barrier where she and Alan stayed before should be this snow pear fruit tree, or rather, it was stimulated by the snow pear fruit growing on the tree (isn’t this the magic World of Warcraft???)...

Although Ellie didn’t understand why she was in the egg, the eggshell was actually her food after she was born! But no one told Ellie that the eggshell could be eaten... Well, maybe Alan had been trying to make her understand that the eggshell could be eaten, but Ellie didn’t understand it at all at that time...

This time, Ellie was a little bit amused.

When the snow pear fruit was picked from the tree by her, the barrier disappeared. If she had known earlier... that this world was so hot during the day and so cold at night, and that it took so long for the day and night to alternate; in addition, there was such a danger of monster invasion, she would never eat the snow pear fruit anyway.

But it’s no use regretting it now.

Ellie smelled a familiar fruity aroma...

Looking around, she soon discovered that the snow pear fruit she had bitten a few times was hidden not far from the eggshell!

——This must have been hidden by Alan!

Thinking of the extreme sweetness that the eggshell had brought her just now, Ellie couldn't help but pulled out the snow pear fruit and took another bite.

Probably because the eggshell was too sweet just now, when she ate the snow pear fruit, she couldn't taste the sweetness at all. She only felt that it was refreshing and juicy, and the burning sensation all over her body gradually subsided, just like drinking a large glass of ice water in the dog days of summer, and her whole body became cool and comfortable.

Now that she knew that the snow pear fruit was not a common thing, she was reluctant to eat it.

She stuffed the snow pear fruit back to the place where Alan had hidden before, and gathered the branches around...

Hiding in the branches of the big tree, it didn't feel too hot, but when Ellie carefully stretched her arms out of the shade, the fierce sunlight only stayed in her palm for about ten seconds, and she felt a burning pain like a needle.

What a damn weather!

Where did Alan go, why didn't he come back?

There was finally movement in the distance...

Ellie was looking forward to it and worried. It was good that it was Alan who came, but what if another wild beast or monster came!

She climbed the branches and looked into the distance.

Ellie recognized it at a glance, it was Alan.

But if you look closely, Allen's body shape and appearance are just like the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the sci-fi movie Dinosaur Park that she used to watch; its hind legs are thick and its front legs are small. When it runs, its body dives forward, and its thick tail is stretched straight to maintain balance...

Ellie has mixed feelings.

Is it really a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Where on earth did she travel to? If there is a Tyrannosaurus Rex here, will there also be mammoths and the like?

Allen has already run to the big tree and keeps looking around.

"Alan," Ellie pulled apart the dense branches, lowered her head, and said to it flatteringly, "Come up! It's hot outside, you should climb up the tree quickly..."

She was afraid that it didn't understand what she meant, so she made a few body movements.

Allen stretched out his tongue and panted like a dog for a few breaths, hesitated for a moment, and then tried with his short front legs...

It couldn't climb up.

Ellie was a little anxious because she felt that the temperature outside seemed to have become hotter again.

"Alan, jump! Jump high!" She shouted at it.

But Alan just circled around the tree...

Ellie got anxious and slid down from the tree.

Alan was also anxious!

It desperately aimed its butt at Ellie, and then gently whipped Ellie with its fat, wide, short tail, apparently wanting her to quickly climb up the tree.

Ellie has been naked since she was "born". Now she stepped on the green grass under the tree barefoot. She felt like she was stepping on cooked noodles, which was so hot that she couldn't stand.

"Alan, look at me! Look... like me, jump up first, jump high! Your legs are so strong, you can definitely jump higher, and then like me... one foot at a time| alternately step on the tree trunk to get up, see? Hands, hands should also be strong..." Ellie ignored its tail, talked to it loudly, and demonstrated her movements to Alan.

Alan soon stopped whipping her with his short tail and began to watch her movements intently.

Ellie climbed up the tree again easily.

Alan thought about it and jumped wildly on the spot like her...

Maybe it was because it jumped with both feet, or maybe it was because it looked much stronger than Ellie and weighed more, so it failed.

Ellie was anxious again!

She quickly slid down from the tree again to check the reason for its failure.

And Alan was not discouraged. It circled the tree several times, turned around and around, and tried several running moves. Finally, one time, it jumped nearly two meters high on the tree in one breath!

It was also very smart. It immediately grabbed the trunk with its short forelimbs.

Then, Alan began to struggle desperately, whipping and hitting everywhere with its short tail... After great efforts, it finally climbed up the branches of the tree.

Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood under the tree for a while and felt like she was about to be roasted!

She climbed up the tree in two or three steps.

After both of them climbed up the tree, Ellie climbed directly to the place where the snow pear fruit was hidden, pulled out the fruit and took another bite; then handed the fruit to Allen.

Allen stared at the snow pear expressionlessly for a while, and turned his head away.

Is it still holding a grudge?

After thinking about it, Ellie poked its claws with her finger again, and then pointed in the direction of the eggshell.

This time, Allen did not refuse.

It carefully moved to the branch where the eggshell was placed, opened its mouth wide to reveal its white fangs, and began to chew the eggshell with a crunching sound.

Ellie sat on the branch and watched it eat the eggshell.

——It can't even climb a tree, so how did it put the eggshell on the branch?

Alan only ate about one-fifth of the eggshell before he stopped eating.

It turned its head to look at Ellie, then turned its head to the side, and then found a place to crawl down.

Both the man and the beast were quiet.

Ellie couldn't stand the loneliness.

She could feel that Alan must be intelligent, but because he and she belonged to different species, they couldn't communicate directly, but as long as she found the right way to communicate, she should be able to know and understand more about this planet, or this space through Alan...

Ellie moved closer to it.

"Hey, are you hot?" She said while fanning herself with her hands to express her body language, "How long is the day here? Is it morning now? Noon or evening? Are there many monsters here? The bear monster yesterday... is it the most powerful here? Have you seen people? People like me..."

Alan ignored her.

Ellie pushed its paw again.

After pushing it, she immediately found that the back of its claws were all scales... She bravely took its hand and put it in front of her to take a closer look, and found that its palm was a bit like a bear's paw, with a thick inner pad in the center and some messy fluff growing between the fingers...

Ellie knew that there were actually very sharp and long finger hooks hidden in its claws. She had seen them when it climbed the tree just now; but it might have been retracted by it now, so without seeing the sharp hooks, this fleshy claw was pink and soft, and looked quite cute.

But Ellie was stunned.

Even if she had little common sense, she knew that it was usually unlikely for animals with scales to grow fluff... Whether the birds on the earth evolved directly from dinosaurs... is still a controversy; besides, the feathers of birds and the fluff of mammals are completely different things.

So, although Allen looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, he is definitely not a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"It's so hot... How long will it last?" Ellie muttered to herself, "When can our original barrier be restored... Do we have to wait until new snow pear fruits grow? Do these fruits grow once a year? How long is a year... No, how long is a day? How many days are there in a year..."

Perhaps sensing her frustration, Allen suddenly turned his head, then stretched out his thick and flexible tongue and began to lick Ellie's head, face and back...
