Chapter 570 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 12
The Lingze Forest is filled with the atmosphere of an ancient forest, with moss covering the tree trunks, resembling the green veins of the forest.
Ancient trees rise from the ground, their canopies layered and blocking most of the sunlight, making the area exceptionally gloomy.
At this moment, a white-haired youth walked by the narrow, rushing stream, followed by a chattering man in yellow.
"Sorry, Zhao Zhao, I didn't expect this place to be so boring." Nan Yu said with a sullen face. He didn't expect that on the first time he brought Zhao Zhao out to play, the Lingze Forest would be so dull, not only without any interesting things, but also without seeing a single living creature.
However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than the presence of living beings appeared ahead.
Meanwhile, the smell of blood gradually spread through the air.
Nan Yu, who had been slowly following behind Zhao Zhao, suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of her, saying, "Danger." His yellow eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked into the depths of the forest.
The imposing aura of the high-level spirit beasts served as a warning to them as they moved forward.
Nan Yu turned around and said to Zhao Zhao, "It is a spirit lion."
Zhao Zhao: "Spirit Lion?" A hint of interest flashed in her eyes.
He had only read about other spirit beasts in books, but in reality, apart from the phoenix, he had never witnessed any of the other spirit beasts in person.
Nan Yu could tell what Zhao Zhao was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he said with a grin, "Interested? Then I'll take you to see it."
Even if that lion were injured, Nan Yu might not take it seriously, even if it were a spirit lion in its prime.
Zhao Zhao wanted to broaden his horizons, and as long as there was no danger, he naturally supported him unconditionally.
Zhao Zhao nodded, ignoring the warning's oppressive aura, and followed Nan Yu slowly deeper into the area. After a short while, they could see a huge purple thunder lion covered in wounds lying on a patch of barren land overgrown with weeds, panting heavily.
His wary, deep eyes looked at them, but his body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get up.
"You've come here to kill me?" A deep, resonant voice echoed through the empty forest. Nan Yu glanced casually at Zhao Zhao, indicating that he should make the decision.
Zhao Zhao stared at the lion curiously for a while, then suddenly looked up and asked Nan Yu, "Can we save him?" Her clear emerald eyes saw right through him, and Nan Yu's gaze was gentle.
Surprise and doubt flashed in Lei Shi's huge eyes.
Nan Yu sighed and rubbed his head, saying, "Saving him is no problem, but have you considered what will happen if he repays kindness with enmity after we save him?"
He himself was certainly not afraid of a mere Lei Shi, but he had to take this opportunity to teach Zhao Zhao a lesson.
It's not wrong for a young person to be innocent and kind, but one should always be wary of others.
"I won't! I can assure you that I will never have any intention of harming anyone after I am rescued!" Lei Shi had a very strong will to survive, and he immediately made his statement when he saw them discussing his life or death.
Nan Yu's eyes were cold: "How do we know if you're telling the truth or not?"
“Zhaozhao, oaths are the most unreliable things.” His expression suddenly turned serious.
Lei Shi wailed helplessly, a sound that moved all who heard it to tears. Zhao Zhao's resolve wavered: "Save him, Third Elder."
Nan Yu remained silent for a while, then Zhao Zhao said again, "I am confident that I can defeat him. If he attacks me after being rescued, I will definitely not forgive him."
"Won't...."
Nan Yu sighed and nodded slightly.
Zhao Zhao then happily walked towards Lei Shi, who was lying on the ground.
The Thunder Lion beast form was enormous, with a wound on its abdomen that was longer than the length of Zhao Zhao's human form when she was lying down. It was a bloody mess, and the bone was visible through the wound.
Zhao Zhao examined the injury, her emerald eyes flashing with surprise: "What injured you? How could the wound be so terrible?"
Nan Yu stepped forward, worried that Zhao Zhao would be frightened by the bloody scene, and said, "I'll do it, you watch from the side."
His slender hand rested on Zhao Zhao's shoulder, just like Xi Yan had done not long ago, pushing him away and leaving the heavy and tiring work to himself.
When Lei Shi saw Nan Yu step forward, he felt the powerful pressure of the Phoenix Clan and murmured, "A member of the Phoenix Clan." His originally violent heart was completely extinguished after learning the identities of the two people in front of him.
Nan Yu tended to his wounds, and seeing Zhao Zhao staring at him curiously, he asked Lei Shi again, "What spirit beast injured you?" He looked down at the most fatal wound, already having the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, Lei Shi shouted in a deep voice, "Dragon Clan!"
“That damn thing…” He suddenly lowered his voice and continued, “I don’t know what got into him, but he suddenly attacked me with deadly force. I was too weak to resist, so he beat me to the point of near death.”
If I hadn't met a kind-hearted young man today, I might have been left to rot in the wilderness.
Dragons...
Zhao Zhao thought to herself, "The book says that dragons are very powerful creatures, but they are also very irritable and are not well-liked by other races in the spirit world, including the phoenixes."
Nan Yu replied, "The Dragon Clan has tempered its temperament considerably in the last hundred years; they certainly wouldn't attack you without a reason."
His sharp gaze swept over the enormous lion eyes, and he said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly did you do!"
Zhao Zhao was surprised, surprised that the arrogant Third Elder seemed to have a good impression of the Dragon Clan.
Nan Yu stopped what he was doing, and his demeanor suddenly turned frightening. Zhao Zhao stepped forward in surprise and tugged at his sleeve: "What's wrong?"
He took a deep breath: "Zhao Zhao, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance."
"He must have done something to anger them!"
If it were the dragon clan a hundred years ago, Nan Yu might have believed Lei Shi's words.
However, a hundred years later, the dragon race has recuperated, abandoned evil and embraced good, and has never caused any bullying incidents in the spirit world. They certainly would not provoke Lei Shi for no reason.
Upon hearing this, Lei Shi's huge eyes flashed with guilt. Seeing that Nan Yu and Zhao Zhao's gazes were growing colder and colder as they stared at him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Not long ago, a cub fell from the sky, and I kindly caught him. But the brat not only didn't thank me, but also insulted me for soiling his robes."
He roared, "How can this be tolerated? I was about to teach that brat a lesson when, just as I stretched out my claws, a dragon descended from the sky and slapped me across the face!"
He must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, because he encountered such an incomprehensible thing. The dragon didn't listen to his explanation at all, slapped him a few times, and then left with the cub.
Whether it was the cub or the later dragons, they were all the same kind of unreasonable beings.
He is utterly innocent. Now, he can only hope that the two phoenixes in front of him can be reasonable and discern right from wrong.
Zhao Zhao and Nan Yu exchanged glances. Nan Yu suddenly smiled and said, "If it's because of the cubs that they go mad, then that's in line with the characteristics of the dragon race."
Zhao Zhao remembered the characteristics of dragons described in the book and said, "Dragons are very fond of cubs."
Nan Yu gave him an approving look, then looked at Lei Shi, the terrifying coldness in his eyes gone: "I hope you're not lying to me." As he spoke, he knelt down again to treat his wounds.
Lei Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's absolutely true."
"This child is probably still in the hands of that dragon. If you run into him, you'll know how irritable the cub is and how rude the dragon is."
Nan Yu nodded and joked, "I'll definitely have to see it when I have time."
But at this inopportune moment, Zhao Zhao thought of a certain grumpy little brat.
His heart suddenly started pounding nervously, and he frowned slightly, hoping it was just his imagination.
