MM Racing Chapter 1167 Mysterious Island
Chapter 1167 Mysterious Island
Although Shao Yun was a little upset by the smooth-talking Malani, he just couldn't get angry...
After all, Malani's face doesn't look like one that can make people angry! Then she acted like a spoiled child... As expected, women who know how to act like a spoiled child are blessed with good fortune...
Not long after, Ying and Paimeng, who had been lazy in bed, also got up. Then, at Marani's recommendation, Shao Yun and his family of three had breakfast and went on an outing in the wild with Marani.
Nata, an area of dissolved waters.
This undeveloped area of flowing springs is dotted with natural springs and waters connected to the nearshore area. The water temperature here is higher than that of other coastal areas.
According to the research of people from Liuquan, this is closely related to the magma cave underneath.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, the people living here are quite complicated.
Some members of the Flowing Springs who were expelled from the tribe choose to live here, so the public security may not be as good as in the tribe.
Of course, there is no need to worry too much. After all, those who committed serious crimes have long been killed by the tribe. Mainly those who come here are petty thieves or those who voluntarily left the tribe.
For example, someone who deserts the battlefield will voluntarily leave the tribe...
In a place like Nata with a strong competitive atmosphere, being timid can easily make people look down upon you. Leaving the tribe to live can be considered a form of self-punishment.
This is also why during the fight against the Abyss invasion, Mavica sent Nata warriors to escort the Nata people living in the wild to the six tribes.
Everyone can be timid, but the brave are worthy of praise. — Natasha's famous quote.
……
However, having said that, the scenery in the karst water area does have a unique charm.
Looking around, most of the rocks on the ground appear a light blue, which matches the surrounding clear springs and colorful flowers in the sunlight.
Malani was still full of energy, skipping and jumping on the rocks, stopping from time to time to point out the surrounding scenery and introduce it to Shao Yun's family.
"Look, there are a lot of undeveloped hot springs nearby! But don't go in the water easily. Some of the hot springs are too hot and you can get burned if you're not careful!"
Paimon floated in the air, looking around curiously, and said happily:
"Wow! This area is so beautiful! It would be nice to live nearby and see such beautiful scenery!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun stepped hard on the rock under his feet and felt that it would be quite difficult to build a house here.
"It's not that easy to live here. Look at the ground, it's all hard volcanic rock. If you want to build a house here, you'll probably have to use the Fontaine mechanism. It's too hard."
This is also one of the reasons why the people of Liuquan like to live in stilt houses.
Digging a foundation in such a rocky place is too difficult. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easy to damage tools.
Instead of going through the trouble of digging a foundation, it is better to drive a few sturdy piles into the ground and build the house on top of them.
Paimeng nodded. Indeed, this place is not bad for vacation. As for living, Shao Yunjian's ranch is indeed more comfortable...
Afterwards, the group walked to the nearby undeveloped natural hot springs.
Paimon curiously floated to the edge of the hot spring pool, looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He excitedly pointed at the figure in the pool and shouted:
"Look over there! Something's moving in the hot springs! It's a wild Fin-Swallow Dragon!"
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, they saw several slender fin dragons playing in the pool.
They have streamlined bodies and move flexibly in the water. Occasionally, they jump out of the water, splashing a string of water, looking particularly agile.
Paimeng clapped his hands excitedly, turned to look at Shao Yun and Ying, and said expectantly: "Let's find some wild fin-swimming dragons to take photos with us? It would be a shame not to take photos of such cute dragons!"
Shao Yun's little fin dragon "Potato Pancake" also came to the hot spring pool, tilted his head and looked at the fin dragon in the water, then patted his round belly and made a soft whimpering sound. It was obvious that he also thought this was a good idea and agreed with Paimeng's suggestion.
Seeing this, Malani immediately smiled and said, "No problem! I can hear the calls of fin dragons, so I can say I understand their language!"
"Many wild finless dragons are also very human-like. As long as we communicate with them properly, they will definitely be willing to take photos with us!"
As she spoke, she walked to the hot spring pool eagerly, ready to imitate the call of the fin dragon and "chat" with the little guys in the pool.
Ying also took out the camera she carried with her, ready to record this interesting moment. Paimon was even more excited and floated aside, waiting to get close to the Fin Dragon.
But just as Marani took a deep breath and was about to make a fin dragon cry, suddenly a hurried female cry for help came from the distant seashore, breaking the warm atmosphere by the hot spring pool.
"Help! Is there anyone here? Help!"
The smile on Paimon's face froze instantly. After a moment of hesitation, he looked around quickly and said doubtfully, "Hey? Did I just hear someone shouting for help? Was it my illusion?"
Malani stopped trying to imitate the sound and listened for a few seconds, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"I heard it too! Someone was indeed calling for help! Strange, could someone have been attacked by a wild dragon?"
"Attacked by a dragon?" Paimeng panicked when he heard this and subconsciously hid behind Shao Yun. His voice was a little panicked, "How terrifying..."
Hearing Paimon's panicked voice, Marani explained calmly:
"Don't be too afraid! Even if the relationship between the Nata and dragons is harmonious, conflicts will occasionally arise. Dragons, like humans, have their own tempers, and not all dragons are willing to be close to humans."
As she spoke, she acted out the actions vividly. First, she clenched her fist and waved it vigorously, as if simulating the gesture of "teaching a lesson", and then she spread out her palm and gently made a stroking motion.
"Just like good guys and bad guys! If you encounter a vicious dragon and it's looking for trouble, just give it a punch to let it know how powerful you are."
"If you meet a nice and gentle dragon, just pat its head and make friends with it. Isn't that all right?"
The little dragon "Potato Pancake" said "Wow" to Malani, as if responding to "I am a good dragon."
Maranie heard the cry of "Potato Pancake" and was attracted by the little dragon.
She squatted down, touched the round head of "Potato Pancake" with a smile, and her tone was particularly gentle.
"Yes, yes, potato cake is a good boy, a good dragon, he deserves a pet and a reward!"
"Potato Pancake" rubbed Malanie's palm comfortably, purring with satisfaction, completely forgetting that he was nervously rushing to get there.
Shao Yun looked at Malani who suddenly started playing with his little dragon, and his temples couldn't help but throb. He walked forward and reminded her speechlessly:
"Now is not the time to play with Xiaolong! The cry for help just now is still going on. What if we are a step too late and the person calling for help is in danger? Go and save them!"
After being reminded by Shao Yun, the carefree Marani suddenly came to her senses, slapped her head, and secretly said "Oh no!"
"Oh no! Oh no! I forgot about saving people!"
……
Afterwards, the group hurriedly ran to the place where the cry for help came from.
On the beach, two people wearing the uniforms of the Sumeru Order were surrounded by five wild fin dragons. One of the women opened her arms and tried to scare the fin dragons with a bluff.
The man was injured in the leg and sat paralyzed on the ground, only able to use his arms to barely resist the approach of the fin dragon.
What was even more dangerous was that the leading fin dragon, which was extremely strong, had lost its patience. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and bit towards the two of them.
Shao Yun immediately pulled out a gun from his waist, pointed it at the sky and fired two shots in a row.
The loud noise instantly attracted the attention of all the fin dragons.
They stopped attacking, raised their heads, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound. There was a bit of fear in their originally ferocious eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment when Fin Dragon was distracted, Shao Yun pulled the trigger again, "Bang!" The third gunshot was deafening.
This sound completely broke the confrontation mentality of the Fin Dragon.
After they hesitated for a few seconds, the leading fin dragon turned around and fled towards the hot spring pool. The other fin dragons followed closely behind and soon disappeared into the water.
The two Xumi people only breathed a sigh of relief when the Fin Dragon completely disappeared.
Then the woman supported the man next to her, looked up at Shao Yun and his group, and was extremely grateful for saving her life.
"Thank you for your help! It was so dangerous just now. I thought I was going to be eaten by a dragon today!"
After recovering, she stood up on her own initiative, bowed slightly to everyone, and introduced herself.
"My name is Kajia, and I'm a scholar at the Xumi Order Academy. This is my senior, Weiland. We're also researchers at the Order Academy."
"We came to Nata this time to conduct archaeological research and study the ancient ruins near the karst waters. We have the approval of the Nata Office and are not suspicious people. Please rest assured."
Marani walked forward, looked at the wound on Katya's arm and the torn robe, and kindly reminded her:
"It's not too late to discuss the formalities later. You should take care of your wounds first."
"In Nata, dragon attacks don't happen often, but if you do encounter a wild fin dragon, it's best to avoid it."
She paused, then added, "Also, even if you really want to interact with or take photos with wild fin dragons after work, you must be accompanied by a professional guide who is familiar with dragon habits!"
"It's too dangerous to approach alone like you guys are doing."
When Katya heard Marani's reminder, she smiled bitterly and explained quickly:
"We're not going to take a photo with the Fin Dragon. Actually, the main reason Weiland and I came to the waters this time is to search for the legendary mysterious island."
"It is said that an important clue to finding the mysterious island is hidden in these wild fin dragons, so we tried to get close to them to see if we could find any clues..."
Before she finished speaking, Shao Yun had already guessed what was going to happen next. He deliberately made an exaggerated expression and said in a funny way:
"So, in your quest for clues, you rashly provoked wild fin dragons, and not only did you not find any clues, but you were almost eaten as a snack by the fin dragons?"
The three words "chew chew chew" were pronounced particularly vividly by him. Paimon, who was listening to it, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even the tense atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.
Katya felt a little embarrassed by what she said, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Marani's attention was completely attracted when Katya mentioned the word "mysterious island".
"Mysterious Island? Are you looking for the Mysterious Island?"
