Chapter 979: Feelings come from licking
(Today it’s too late for two updates, two updates tomorrow orz)
There are differences of opinion within the Silverside Team as to whether to allow Gale to join this free exploration mission.
Everyone decided to vote, and as expected, one person was in favor, one was against, and one said it didn't matter.
This vote is as if it was not cast.
The eyes of several people were focused on Gordon, who abstained from voting.
Looking around, Gordon finally voted in favor due to Hayata's encouragement and Ancier's desperate eyes.
“Happy~.”
Gail gave Ancil a provocative look.
Anhil took a deep breath and said, "I hope you won't hold back."
Gail smiled weirdly and shouted to the chef's station, "Charge it to my account!" before heading towards the processing house with the sandstone and the delicious pandan.
The rules regarding ownership of hunting partners’ equipment are indeed not as strict as those for hunters.
Under the speechless gaze of the leader of the second phase of the regiment, 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 wasting materials, they turned a blind eye and allowed them to take advantage of 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 just went to take a look.
Ancier had a dark face along the way, obviously still resentful of the decision to let Gale go with him.
Although they have collaborated before, they were all straightforward hunting missions. The two disliked each other and did not communicate 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 time.
When I thought about walking with that guy for so long, I
“Tsk.” Anhir was speechless again.
“Do you hate her so much?”
Gordon smiled and put his arm around Ancier's shoulders, then put less than half of his weight on the latter, "Come on, as long as you just say, 'I hate Gale so much, with me or without her!', I will go. Help you get it back."
Anhil grinded his teeth, "Forget it, it makes me seem to be afraid of that guy."
Hayata looked at him funny.
She has long seen that although these two guys say they dislike each other, they don'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 Ancil in the ribs, earning a kick from Ancil.
They arrived at the Institute of Ecology in a noisy manner, and the scene in front of them almost made their eyes pop out.
Previously, they heard Gale say that Xuanxiao “holds that little thing and licks it all day long.” 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 Xuanxu was real. She was holding the little flying dragon that was just two days old and licking it with her tongue.
Standing in place for several seconds, after regaining his perspective, Anhil rushed forward angrily, pulled his half-sister up, picked up the water bag and started to rinse Xuanxu's mouth.
“Ji!” The frightened Xiaofeng Piaolong screamed.
Xuanxuan quickly pushed away the water bag that Ancil put to her mouth, 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.
“You scared her!” Xuanxu glared at Anxier angrily.
Gordon and the others had seen Xue Xue speak in such a stern tone for the first time.
During this period, Xuanxu stuck out her tongue again and licked the corner of the little flying dragon's mouth.
The little flying dragon chirped "wuwu" and licked it back.
This scene made the clean-minded Anhil’s hair stand on end.
Just as he was about to say something, Gordon asked Xuanxu, "What are you licking for?"
Xuanxiao explained seriously: "The act of licking cubs is not only to clean the body surface, but also to establish an initial family relationship. Many animal mothers do this!"
"Is there such a statement?" Gordon looked at the director of the Institute of Ecology who was recording something aside.
The old Draconian scholar pushed up his glasses, "Of course, we just haven't tried to actually lick it with the tongue. So far, it seems that the effect is very good.
This wind-drifting dragon cub is very clingy and has obviously regarded her as its mother. "
Anhil was about to speak but stopped.
The cubs of most animals are very cute, and the cubs of flying dragons are no exception. Hayata's eyes shined, and he squatted down and tried to touch the baby of the wind drifting dragon, but almost didn't get bitten.
"I'm very afraid of giving birth to her." Xuanxu 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 partly the reason, and it is also because Xuanxuan is one of the first people the Fengdiaolong baby sees when it hatches. This is the first impression engraved in the subconscious.
Hmm, I can only say that licking plays a very crucial role. I was also present during the hatching, but she was not so close to him. "
After hearing this, Liefeng, who was following Anxil, opened his mouth wide and flicked his tongue, wanting to go up and take a few licks.
Xiaofeng Piaolong was so frightened that he quickly got into Xuanxu's arms, and Xuanxu beat and beat the strong wind away.
“Why did you think of licking it?” Hayata asked curiously.
Xuanxu rubbed the tips of her noses with the Fengdiao dragon cub and casually said, "This is what everyone does, it's common sense, isn't it?"
“This should be the ‘common sense’ of Hong Leong Shuhai”
“Yeah!”
After hearing Xuanxu's answer, Gordon laughed dryly, "The strange knowledge has increased."
"How long can your personal care last?" Anhil, who had calmed down, asked with a frown.
The current Fengdiao dragon cub is less than one meter long. With its body curled up, a petite girl like Xuanxu can easily pick it up.
But what about in the future?
The body length of an adult Fengdiaolong will exceed fifteen meters, and the extreme size individual can even exceed twenty meters. It is an absolutely large flying dragon that can swallow a cricket in one bite without chewing it.
At that time, can the "family relationship" still be maintained?
Xuanxu is not stupid either, so he naturally understands what An Xil means.
She hugged the Fengdiaolong 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 emerge from the juvenile stage four to five years after breaking out of its shell, and will reach sexual maturity after about ten years of age.”
The director of the Institute of Ecology said at 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 grow in three years?"
“The body length should be six to eight meters. It will be able to prey on pterosaurs by then. In five years, the body length will almost exceed ten meters.”
Anhil rubbed his face in distress.
Mother, sister, they would go crazy if they knew it.
