Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 Discovery of New Creatures

Listening to Hiccup's complaints, Gobber put down what he was holding and said, "These are things the Chief should consider!"

"Of course! These are also things you should consider!"

After saying this, Gobber showed Hiccup a hopeful smile.

Because in his eyes, Hiccup was simply a miracle; the reason for such a big change must have been due to Odin's blessing.

For these simple-minded Vikings, anything unexplainable could only be considered a gift from the gods.

Hiccup said indifferently, "Berk Island is my home, and of course, I hope everyone on Berk Island can live better!"

"But right now, the only thing to solve is the unity problem! Although they will respond to the Chief's call! Their cohesion is not strong! They must be made to change!"

Gobber said with a chuckle, "It seems you already have a good idea. I really look forward to that day coming soon. By then, I can ride a Dragon and continue fighting, no need to stay here forging iron!"

It was clear that Gobber's words were full of complaints about his current life, but due to his own physical limitations, he could only do these things.

Immediately, Hiccup gave up the idea of continuing to fight, because there were not enough people, and Dragon Knights had to be arranged first.

So, Hiccup whistled, gathering all the Timberjack Dragons, then flipped onto Night Fury's back, and said to the Timberjack Dragons behind him in Dragon Language, "All of you, follow me forward!"

This trip was only to retrieve the sheep hidden on the island. After returning, the previously tamed Dragons would be distributed.

Astrid wanted to follow this time, but Hiccup said with a solemn expression, "These Dragons were tamed by you! If you leave Berk Island, these Dragons will definitely cause trouble!"

"They might even seriously injure villagers and burn down houses, so you must stay!"

Astrid said helplessly, "Alright then! You must come back safely! If you encounter a fight, you must come back and take me with you! This time I will definitely not hold you back!"

Hiccup nodded without speaking, then gently patted Night Fury's neck.

"Roar~~!"

After a Dragon roar, all the Dragons ascended into the sky, and under the gaze of Berk Island's residents, slowly disappeared over the horizon.

Stoick stood on the shore, watching Hiccup's distant direction, feeling a faint unease in his heart once again.

After all, in his opinion, Hiccup was still just a child, no matter how outstanding his abilities were, no matter how old he was this year, in his eyes, he was still that child who only caused trouble.

But now, this child seemed to be able to handle these troubles himself, no longer needing his help.

At some point, Gobber appeared behind Stoick and said with a smile, "Don't worry! I see the shadow of your younger self in Hiccup!"

"Still as stubborn, still as brave, still as remarkably excellent! He is indeed a qualified Chief successor!"

Hearing his old friend's praise, Stoick was naturally a bit proud, and he even squinted at Gobber and said, "Don't even look whose son he is! Of course, he's the most outstanding young man on Bok Island!"

Afterward, the two left the coastline; after all, as Chief, there were still many things to be busy with every day, and there was also a lot to do at the Blacksmith Shop.

At this moment, Hiccup had been riding Night Fury for almost half an hour, but along the way, Hiccup always felt something was amiss.

Because it was too quiet today; normally, when so many Dragons flew by, there would definitely be Dragons from the sea following them. But today, not a single one was seen.

And Night Fury was always in a state of tension!

Normally, his wounds would have healed long ago, and there might still be some slight pain, but for a Dragon, that was nothing.

It was a pity that Night Fury couldn't even speak Dragon Language now, otherwise, they could have communicated.

In desperation, Hiccup could only make Night Fury speed up, and the Timberjack Dragons behind him also accelerated one after another.

"Bang~!"

Night Fury still landed violently on the small island, kicking up sand that flew all over Hiccup's face.

Although he was prepared this time and had already put on his helmet, the fine sand from the coast would still seep in through the gaps.

There were no Dragons left on this small island, only three Dragon corpses, using their scent to prevent the sheep from escaping.

But after walking onto the island, Hiccup finally discovered something was wrong, because on this small island, there were rows of indistinguishable footprints.

These footprints didn't look like a Dragon's, but they also didn't look like a human's.

Because human footprints might not have toes, even on a sandy beach, they would definitely leave toe marks, but these footprints looked bare.

It was as if there was only a sole and no toes.

"Clang~!"

Hiccup directly took out his Dragon Slayer Sword from Night Fury's back, his gaze fixed on every blade of grass and tree around him, and his retractable shield had also been deployed.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself, "What kind of race landed on the island!? Could it be cannibals? But cannibals can't swim, so they couldn't have come to this island."

"Nor could it be mermaids, because mermaids have fish tails for their lower bodies, and even if they came ashore, they should crawl like snakes, so how could they leave human-like but not human footprints."

The Timberjack Dragons, seeing Hiccup take out the Dragon Slayer Sword, couldn't help but widen their vertical pupils.

Hiccup turned to them and said in Dragon Language, "There might be danger on this island! All of you, stay alert!"

At this, all the Timberjack Dragons relaxed a lot; after all, they hadn't been with Hiccup for long, so their friendship wasn't as deep as his and Night Fury's.

And the main reason must have been what Old Dragon Snout told them normally, otherwise, they would have been as simple as when they first met.

"Baa~~~!"

As they got closer, the sound of sheep could be clearly heard. And judging from the sound, no sheep were missing.

This made Hiccup even more confused; since these creatures weren't after the sheep, what was their purpose then?

Hiccup led the Dragon group to hide in the tall grass, but he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so stupid! You're all so big! How can this grass hide you?!"

However, Hiccup said to the Timberjack Dragons behind him, "All of you, go airborne! But be sure to pay attention to the situation below! If you see anything, don't make a sound yet, leave the island, circle around, and then come back and tell me!"
