What this "dragon egg" will hatch into is still unknown, but its allure is already evident.
Several enormous green-haired gorillas rushed out of the forest, one of which was particularly large and looked like the leader.
"It's huge!!!"
Upon seeing the five gorillas rush out, the children screamed and took a few steps back, running to Moen and Erza's side.
"It's Gree! Forest Balugon!"
Levy immediately recognized the green-haired, purple-bodied monsters in front of her.
"They're here for the dragon eggs! They love eggs!"
Levy tensed up and called out to Natsu, who was holding the egg.
"Eggs! Eggs! Give them to us!"
Even without Levy's reminder, the forest worms had already started roaring as soon as they saw the egg Natsu was holding.
They are a relatively intelligent species of magical beasts, and they can also speak.
These green-furred monkey monsters have been quite active in the forests on the eastern outskirts of Magnolia recently, and quite a few people have already encountered them. If they are not in mating season, the Forest Balugon is not too dangerous and can be easily dealt with by a few eggs.
However, if it is their mating season, they are very dangerous, and women are not advised to enter the eastern suburban forest at this time.
It was clearly not the mating season for the Forest Balrogs, and they ignored all the pretty girls around them, their eyes only on the egg Natsu was holding.
"Damn it! I won't give it to you!"
Natsu bared his teeth and glared angrily at the monkeys.
As he spoke, he ran behind Moen and Erza, carrying the egg.
"Moenge, Erza, watch the eggs for me, I'll chase them away!"
Natsu put the egg down, then rolled up his sleeves and charged at the monkeys.
"Let's all go together!"
Not to be outdone, Gray charged forward, and Natsu charged after him.
"I don't even have that egg, how can I give it to you monkeys?"
Elfman muttered to himself and charged forward as well. The boys were all very brave in the face of the enemy.
Cana, Levy, and Lisanna stood behind, all eager to try. They were all mages, so how could they be afraid of a few monkeys?
"Splat!"
Natsu, Gray, and Elfman, who rushed out, were all knocked to the ground, their heads covered in bumps from the five monkey monsters.
"Use magic!"
Seeing this somewhat comical scene, Moen couldn't help but facepalm. These three idiots charged forward with their fists clenched.
Those forest Balgons are all about being strong and muscular; one of their muscles is almost bigger than the children's. Without using magic, they rely purely on their physical strength to fight, so it would be strange if the mages didn't get beaten up.
"But none of them used magic!"
Natsu covered the bump on his head and said with a defiant look on his face.
Gray got up too. He didn't know why Natsu didn't use magic, but if Natsu didn't use it, then he wouldn't either!
Of the three, only Elfman did not get up. He lay on the ground, seeing stars, and was completely unable to fight.
Clearly, Gray and Natsu, who have long been suppressed by Moen and Erza, have exceptional resilience, which Elfman simply cannot match.
"Brother Elfman!"
Lisanna ran to Elfman's side with a worried look on her face. She helped Elfman up and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Egg snatching! And pretty girls too!"
Seeing how weak the children were, the forest barugons became even more arrogant, pounding their chests and howling.
One of the forest balus leaped right in front of Lisanna and Elfman.
Its eyes sparkled with hearts, and it stretched out its large purple hand to grab Lisanna.
"Lisanna!"
"Elfman!"
Natsu and the others were startled and were about to rush to help, but several other monkey monsters rushed up and entangled them.
"Buzz!"
Magical energy surged forth, falling like snowflakes. Terrifying freezing winds enveloped the monkey monster, freezing it into an ice sculpture.
"Diamond Celestial Fist!"
As the wind howled, several forest Balooguns were frozen solid by the cold wind.
"Do do do!"
Lisanna, Natsu, and Elfman were all shivering. Elfman, who had just been feeling dizzy, was instantly awakened by the cold.
"Wow, that's amazing, Moen!"
Gray didn't seem to feel anything. Looking at the frozen monkey monsters, he reached out and touched one of them. One of the forest balugons immediately shattered into pieces.
"this"
Gray stared wide-eyed, not with fear, but with envy. He longed to control such terrifying freezing energy!
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Natsu kept breathing fire and rubbing his body to keep warm.
Moen stood next to Lisanna and waved his hand sharply, dispelling the remaining freezing air and warming Lisanna and Elfman up a bit.
Lisanna and Elfman looked up at Moen's face and found that his expression was not pleasant, even cold.
"Don't do that again. If something really goes wrong because of this reckless behavior, can you handle the consequences? Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; when facing an enemy, you must fight with all your might, understand?!"
Looking at Natsu, Gray, and Elfman, Moen spoke with a serious expression, his tone unusually grave this time.
"It's Brother Moen, I'll remember that."
Gray was the first to respond; his mind was perfectly clear, and he had only lost his intelligence because of Natsu's presence.
"I'm sorry, Brother Moen, I won't do it again."
Awake from the cold, Elfman looked ashamed and apologized to Moen.
He felt he had let Moen down. His slow progress in learning magic was already shameful, and now this had happened. He was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
"."
Natsu looked thoughtful, as if he had understood something. The anxiety he felt when the monkey monster attacked Lisanna and Elfman had given him a new insight.
"Moen, I think I understand."
Natsu nodded seriously to Moen, and this time he seemed to really understand, even gaining some insight into what Moen had said before about the meaning of life.
Natsu is a very pragmatic person. He either knows what he knows or he doesn't know what he doesn't know. He would never pretend to know what he doesn't.
"Good. Let's go back to the guild. I remember there's a quest in the guild to eliminate the Forest Balgon. Let's use the reward for a get-together and have a good meal to relax."
Seeing that the children all gave positive feedback, Moen clapped his hands with a smile and announced some good news, which made everyone cheer happily. Moen's educational method has always been to give a stick and then a sweet treat, which is one of the reasons why he is popular. He never hesitates to give various rewards.
