Chapter 979: Feelings are licked out
(Today there is no time for two updates, two updates tomorrow orz)
As for whether to let Gale join this free exploration mission, there are internal discussions within the Silverborder Team. Opinions were divided.
Everyone decided to vote, and as expected, one person was in favor, one was against, and one said it didn’t matter.
The vote was cast as if it was not cast.
Several people's eyes were focused on Gordon, who abstained from voting.
Looking left and right, Gordon finally changed his vote with Hayata's encouragement and Ancier's desperate eyes.
“Happy~.”
Gail gave Ancil a provocative look.
Anhil took a deep breath, "I hope you won't hold back."
Gale "Huhu" smiled strangely, shouted to the chef's station, "Charge it to my account!", and then headed towards the processing house with Sandstone and Le Diandian's Pandan.
The rules for ownership of hunting partner equipment are indeed not as strict as those for hunters.
Under the speechless gaze of the leader of the second group, Gale opened her mouth and said that she and Hayata had changed cats, so the equipment had to be changed as well.
The old craftsman naturally saw through her nonsense at a glance.
It's just that Hayata and Gale are both seven-star hunters, so there is no such thing as a "cat leading a man". Considering not to waste materials, they turned a blind eye and let them get into this. Loophole.
At the same time, the three Gordons were walking on the way to the Institute of Ecology. If Gale hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known that the egg had hatched.
They were quite curious about the egg, so they happened to go take a look.
Anchor had a dark face along the way, obviously still resentful of the decision to let Gale go with him.
Although they have cooperated before, they were simple hunting missions. The two disliked each other and did not communicate too much.
But this mission is different. Even if it goes non-stop, there are constant clues, and it goes absolutely smoothly, three months is still the shortest.
When I thought about walking with that guy for so long, I
"Tsk." Anhil was speechless again.
“Do you hate her so much?”
Gordon smiled and put his arm around Ancil’s shoulders, then put less than half of his weight on the latter, “Come on, as long as you To put it bluntly, 'I hate Gale so much, without her or me!' I'll help you get rid of her."
Anhil grinded his teeth, "Forget it, it makes me scared. Same as that guy.”
Hayata looked at him amused.
She had long seen that, although these two guys said they disliked each other, they didn't hate each other that much.
Otherwise, with their equally arrogant personalities, even for the sake of mutual friends, they would not eat at the same table or hunt together.
Gordon winked and punched Ancier in the ribs, in exchange for a kick from Ancier.
They arrived at the Institute of Ecology in a noisy manner, and the scene in front of them almost made their eyes pop out.
They had heard Gale say before that Xuanxiao "held that little thing and licked it all day long," and they thought that was just a way of describing it.
It wasn’t until I saw it with my own eyes that I realized that the cricket was real. It was holding the little flying dragon that was just two days old and licking it with its tongue.
Standing in place for several seconds, after regaining his perspective, Anhil rushed forward angrily, dragged his half-sister up, picked up a water bag and was about to rinse it out mouth.
“Ji!” The frightened Xiaofeng Piaolong screamed.
Xuanxuan quickly pushed away the water bag Anxier put in her mouth, and hugged the little Feng Piaolong, whose wings were folded and was not much smaller than Ellu, for a while to comfort her, and took a few more licks along the way. .
"You scared her!" Xuanxu glared at Anxier angrily.
This is the first time Gordon and the others have seen Xuanxu speak in such a stern tone.
"You scared me!" Ancil glared back.
Gordon pulled Ancil's shoulder to signal him to calm down. At the same time, he looked at the little flying dragon, which had no hard bones and felt soft.
During this period, Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue again and licked the corner of the little flying dragon's mouth.
The little flying dragon chirped "Woooo" and licked it back.
This scene made the clean-loving Ansiel's hair stand on end.
Just as he was about to say something, Gordon asked Xuanxu, "What are you licking for?"
Xuanxu explained seriously: "The act of licking a cub is , it’s okay to clean the body surface, and it’s also to establish the initial family relationship. Many animal mothers do this!”
“Is there such a saying?” Gordon looked at the director of the Institute of Ecology who was recording something. .
The old Draconian scholar pushed up his glasses, "Of course, we haven't tried actually licking it with the tongue. So far, it seems that the effect is very good.
This Fengdiao dragon cub is very sticky. It’s obvious that she has become a mother.”
Anhil hesitated to speak.
The cubs of most animals are very cute, and the cubs of flying dragons are no exception. Hayata's eyes shone, and he squatted down, trying to touch the Fengdiao dragon cub, and almost missed it. Take a bite.
"I'm very afraid of giving birth to her." Xuanxuan said softly, turning her cheek to the side and rubbing against Xiaofeng Piaolong.
Xiaofeng Piaolong responded affectionately, which was completely different from the vigilant and aggressive attitude when facing Hayata.
“Is this relationship really established?” Gordon asked in surprise.
The old scholar continued to explain: "This is part of the reason, and it is also because Xuanxuan is one of the first people the Fengdiaolong cub sees when it hatches. This is engraved in the subconscious. First impressions
Well, it can only be said that licking plays a very important role. I was also present during the hatching, and she was not so close to me."
Liefeng, who was following Anxil, opened his mouth after hearing this. I flicked my tongue and wanted to take a few licks.
Xiaofeng Piaolong was so frightened that he quickly got into Xuanxu's arms, and Xuanxu beat the strong wind away.
“Why did you think of licking it?” Hayata asked curiously.
Xuanxu rubbed the tips of her noses with the Feng Piao Long cub and said casually: "Everyone does this, isn't it common sense?"
"This should be the Fenglong tree. "Hai's 'common sense'"
"Yes!" >
After listening to Xuanxu's answer, Gordon laughed dryly, "The strange knowledge has increased."
"How long can your personal care like this last?" Anxil, who had calmed down, frowned. ask.
The current Fengdiao dragon cub is less than one meter long. With its body curled up, a girl as petite as Xuanxu can easily pick it up.
But what about the future?
The adult Fengdiaolong will be more than fifteen meters long, and the extreme size individual can even exceed twenty meters. It is an absolutely large flying dragon. It can swallow a cricket in one bite without chewing it.
By then, can the "family relationship" still be maintained?
Xuanxuan is not stupid, so he naturally understands the meaning of An Xier's words.
She hugged the Feng Piao Dragon cub tightly and shook her head, "I don't know, anyway, until it grows up and becomes independent, I will be its mother!"
"An individual Fengdiaolong in the wild will break out of its shell four to five years later. After leaving the juvenile stage, sexual maturity takes about ten years.”
The director of the Institute of Ecology said from the side: “But after all, it is a predator at the top of the ecological chain. At the age of two to three, it can basically stand on its own. ”
"Then I will take care of her for another three years!" Xuanxu said seriously.
Anhil's expression was a little distorted. He asked the director of the Institute of Ecology, "How big will this thing be in three years?"
"It will be six to eight meters long. It will be able to prey on pterosaurs at that time, and in five years it will be almost more than ten meters long."
Anhil rubbed his face in distress. Mother, sister, they would go crazy if they knew it.
