Chapter 199: Taming the Dragon
[Black Tide] brought the corpses underground back to life. Now the ground is full of zombies, but the sky is the only pure land.
Previously, the Coleman people domesticated blue-tailed eagles as scouts, which were useful elsewhere, but in the "Kalatwa Basin", they became food in the eyes of another kind of air overlord.
Flying pterosaurs are the absolute overlords of the sky.
No matter what kind of bird of prey it is, in the eyes of these dragon species, it is at the bottom of the food chain.
Strong mobility, strong concealment, and excellent combat power...
Moreover, now that we know that there are steam airships in the world outside the fog, air combat power becomes particularly important.
No one can understand the significance of "air supremacy" better than him, a time traveler.
Ryan had considered the issue of flying mounts before, but because Asian dragons have the blood of dragons, they are born with the blood instinct that higher creatures will not submit to lower creatures, so he gave up this idea.
But now, Wu Duo made him rekindle this idea.
…
In Black Dragon City.
"Oh no, there's another flying dragon coming... Everyone be careful!"
"No... there is another person on that flying dragon... it's Elder Wu Duo!"
"Oh my god, Elder Wuduo tamed the flying dragon!"
“…”
Not long after, Wu Duo rode the third-level adult flying dragon and landed on the open space outside Black Dragon City.
The people in the city gathered around curiously, and several thousand people formed a large circle around the city, but they did not dare to get close.
The pterosaur was surrounded by so many people that its scales exploded, revealing its inherent ferocity. It roared fiercely, warning the crowd around it.
The sound waves made everyone's eardrums hurt, and the monsters under the Coleman warriors were even worse. They paced back and forth on the ground restlessly on all fours. It was obvious that they had a fear that came from their blood. Even the higher-level monsters were the same.
At this moment, a magical scene appeared!
Feilong was irritable and wanted to escape.
But Wu Duo held the pterosaur's pointed head and calmed its increasingly uneasy mood.
The next second, the pterosaur, which had been extremely irritable just now, gradually calmed down, and then rubbed its head against Wu Duo's hand that was stroking it affectionately, being very well-behaved.
When Ryan and his companions were returning on the Warcraft, they happened to see this scene and also looked incredulous.
Wu Duo looked at the people holding their guns and bows and arrows on alert, and explained to them: "It won't attack us now, so don't worry. But don't get too close, it's still a little afraid of humans..."
Then, she said the same thing in Common Tongue.
After hearing this, everyone put down their weapons and looked at the increasingly docile dragon with curiosity.
The Coleman people are used to it. For them, taming animals is something that almost everyone will experience in their lifetime.
But the people from Omar all had very interesting expressions, full of disbelief.
"Ah? These man-eating dragons are afraid of humans?"
"Elder Wuduo can actually communicate with flying dragons?"
“…”
Everyone became curious.
At this time, Ymir in the crowd also noticed that the flying dragon was somewhat afraid of humans, especially since there were many high-level extraordinary beings in the crowd, so she said, "Everyone, let's go back to the city first. I'll leave this place to Elder Udo."
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
The crisis has been resolved, but the work has to continue. No one is watching anymore. The officials have started to tell the craftsmen at their respective posts to do their work.
Sure enough, as the crowd dispersed, the panic in the dragon's eyes gradually calmed down, and the scales that had stood up due to nervousness gradually shrank back to normal.
…
Outside the city, only a few high-ranking officials such as Ryan and Ymir remained there.
Everyone saw the great strategic significance of Wu Duo's move.
This is the first tamed dragon, which means there can be a second one!
You can fly in the sky and run on the ground!
Compared with other Warcraft mounts, the earth dragon is far more powerful.
Their strong scales and flesh can easily withstand ordinary artillery attacks, their roars can make people instinctively fearful, and their fighting power is overwhelming.
Moreover, before in the "Forest of Ashes", grandfather and grandson Tust installed armor and artillery on the Warcraft mounts of the Coleman warriors, which greatly increased their survivability and combat effectiveness.
Compared to ordinary monsters, earth dragons have more advantages in both physical strength and reminder. They can carry heavier artillery and thicker armor!
One or two may not be a big deal, but if they become large in scale, it will definitely be a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
This is what Ryan had once envisioned, a mechanical dinosaur army!
…
Ryan first looked at Wu Duo and breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that she didn't seem to have any external injuries.
He didn't dare to get close, fearing to irritate the pterosaur, so he asked from a distance: "Wu Duo, is this pterosaur really safe?"
"Yes."
Wu Duo nodded, and stroked the pterosaur, which was still wary of Ryan and the others, and said, "But it will take some time for it to slowly learn to get used to living with humans. As long as everyone doesn't scare it, there will be no danger..."
Ryan was also curious and asked, "Udo, how did you tame it?"
It was shouting for war not long ago, but now it's tamed? Although I know it might be the effect of the glowing [Totem of Ten Thousand Beasts] on her body, this feeling is too incredible.
Wu Duo explained: "In fact, Warcraft's thinking is much simpler than humans..."
The power of the Totem of All Beasts gave Wu Duo a super affinity with all beasts, which would stabilize the emotions of the beasts and eliminate the instinctive hostility caused by the blood barrier, allowing her to communicate normally with all kinds of beasts as if they were "the same kind".
Although those sub-dragons are huge in size, Tust has dissected many dragon corpses and found that most of their brains are only about the size of a walnut, and their intelligence is probably about the same as that of a husky.
Their behavior is more in accordance with blood inheritance and instinct.
Ryan thought that "dragon taming" would involve some mysterious and extraordinary abilities, but he didn't expect that the most important part was "bribery".
Wu Duo explained for a while, and finally said the trump card of "persuading surrender", saying: "Just now it took me to fly very far, and I heard that it was hungry... Then, I told it that if it followed me in the future, there would be meat to eat... It was willing to come back with me."
As she spoke, she took out a large piece of raw meat from her storage ring, and like a dolphin in the oceanarium, she rewarded it with a small fish for being obedient. She threw it, and the pterosaur caught it in its mouth and ate it with gusto.
The "Language of Beasts" does not really mean communicating with monsters like humans, but rather sensing their emotions.
Wu Duo smiled and touched its head. After a moment of perception, he said, "It is in a very happy mood. It probably means: I won't leave if there is food to eat."
“…”
Ryan and the others who were watching looked in disbelief.
Is this pterosaur so easy to fool?
Of course, they also knew that this was definitely inseparable from Wu Duo's super-strong affinity with all beasts.
At this time, Ymir also asked: "Elder Udo, can you tame other pterosaurs? We just captured a few injured pterosaurs alive in the territory. I think if possible, we won't kill them..."
Wu Duo: "It should be possible, but I'm not sure that this method can tame them. Not all of them are greedy. But if they don't accept it, then lock them up first. We will always find other ways..."
After solving the problem of unruly bloodlines that cannot be tamed, the Coleman tribe has more means of taming.
After a pause, she obviously understood why Ymir asked this, and continued, "If it doesn't work, just kill them. Anyway, I just went to the mountain and found a tribe of flying dragons on the cliff of the snow line. There are still many of them..."
Hearing this, Ryan and Ymir's eyes lit up at the same time.
They suddenly realized what Black Dragon City’s work would be for a long time to come.
That is, catching dragons and taming dragons!
Not only does Ilubek's [Dragon Blood Gene Warrior] plan need samples, they also need a large number of earth dragon mounts to form the "Dinosaur Knight Corps"!
That will be the basis of the combat power to sweep across Black Dragon City!
…
Wuduo brought the pterosaur back to the city.
It was impossible for this big guy to be locked up with the magical beasts and mounts of the Coleman warriors. Otherwise, it would be like a wolf locked up in a sheepfold, and its instinct would make it prey on other magical beasts.
The soldiers built a separate animal shed in an unmanned corner. Wu Duo put large basins of raw meat for the pterosaur, and the pterosaur ate with great pleasure. After eating, it stopped flying and howling, and lay down in the shed to sleep.
Several pterosaurs . In addition to those that were killed, four injured ones were tied up with steel cables.
Because they were so frightened, no matter how Wu Duo tried to comfort them, he couldn't make them trust humans.
If they were not prisoners, they would not be treated so well and would have to starve. Although they cried out for a while, they gradually became quiet due to exhaustion.
…
This was just a "C-level small monster attack", and the people in Black Dragon City had long been accustomed to it. After the turmoil, everyone resumed their busy construction.
But what was different from before was that this time, thanks to the brave and fearless help of the Coleman warriors, the craftsmen who were captured by the pterosaurs were able to save their lives...
The rift between the two groups also underwent some subtle changes because of this incident.
