Chapter 256 Dragon Eater
The fragrant roasted dragon meat was ready. Roy threw two of the three infant dragons to Fat Tiger, leaving one for Julia to share with him. As for Ca.s.sandra and Giovanni, how could they be interested in these roasted suckling dragons? They could not even eat them at all.
After getting the food, Fat Tiger immediately ran to the side happily to enjoy it, while Roy pulled off a thigh and handed it to Julia. He pulled off a dragon wing and threw it into his mouth to chew.
Due to his strong bite force, Roy was now chewing and eating the meat and bones together. Unexpectedly, it was exceptionally delicious like this. The infant dragon’s wings had not fully developed, and when it was alive, it could only fly at low alt.i.tudes for short distances. Now that Roy had roasted it, he felt as though he was chewing crisp bones in his mouth. Moreover, the meat was very springy, and the juice inside was very rich after being roasted. It tasted extremely delicious.
While eating, Roy thought that it would probably be better if he had marinated it with a little bit of Orleans sauce. Roasted Orleans dragon wings…
Once his appet.i.te got going, Roy ate quickly. The infant dragon over a meter long with a weight of over fifty kilograms, Roy ate most of it alone, and Julia ate the rest.
Julia threw a piece of infant dragon bone on the ground, licked her fingers, and smiled while wis.h.i.+ng for more. “This is the first time I’ve eaten dragon meat. I only saw stronger dragons in the worlds I’ve been to before. I might not have even been able to beat them, much less eat them… I didn’t expect roasted dragon meat to be so delicious.”
Roy took out Frostmourne and used the tip of his sword to pick his teeth. He said in satisfaction, “It should be said that infant dragon meat is delicious. The meat of adult dragons will be tougher and probably very dry and hard to chew… But we can also try. Maybe stewing them won’t be bad.”
“Okay, if there’s a chance, let’s get some more to eat!” Julia said with a smile. Fat Tiger looked up at Julia and barked happily. It seemed that he agreed with his mistress’s proposal.
Giovanni listened from the side and broke down a little. When Roy was roasting the meat, he had been very uneasy and kept looking up at the sky, afraid that the infant dragon’s parents would come back. Now that he saw Roy and the others had finished eating, he wanted to urge them to hurry on the journey. But he did not expect that Roy and the others were not anxious at all and already talking about dragon meat…
“Your Excellency Osiris…” Giovanni said helplessly. “I have to remind you that if you don’t want to anger the dragon race, it’s best not to have such thoughts…”
But Roy glared at him. “Why? Don’t tell me that dragons have never died in battle in your world!”
“Even if they died in battle… their enemies might not necessarily eat their corpses!” Giovanni was very speechless.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Roy snorted. “Won’t other demons eat them? Also, won’t those behemoths? Moreover, even if other races don’t eat the corpses of dragons, they will use the corpses for dragon scales, dragon blood, and other materials. Where do you think those things came from?”
“Uh…” With these two examples, Giovanni had nothing to say because Roy was right. Demons and behemoths ate dragon meat, especially the latter. Behemoths had always been known as the natural enemy of dragons. These giant beasts, who were also mythical creatures, generally ate dragons directly after killing them. Furthermore, compared to being dissected into various materials to make magic tools, it seemed that it was better to eat them directly…
“Anyway, let’s leave this place first!” Giovanni could only give up persuading. Thus, everyone set off again and continued deeper into the forest, preparing to go out. But before they got too far, two dragon roars suddenly came from the distant sky!
Looking up, they saw two giant dragons flying toward the forest. It was the green dragons’ parents.
At this moment, two adult green dragons in the sky had their wings spread and were flying quickly. At the foot of one of the green dragons was a mammoth with long fur in its claw. It was the prey caught by the green dragon couple in the distant snow-capped mountains. They brought this heavy mammoth back easily, intending to feed their children.
However, they found that something was wrong from afar. From high up in the sky, the familiar forest scenery was covered by a layer of black. The forest was no longer green, and the trees were withered.
The green dragon couple became anxious and accelerated toward the forest. As they flew, they let out dragon roars, calling out to their children.
However, there was no response…
The three infant dragons were actually the first litter of the green dragon couple. The green dragon couple had just reached adulthood and entered the reproduction stage. When they did not receive their children’s responses, they started panicking. Then the first thing they thought of was that the forest might have been attacked by other dragons!
Dragons were exceptionally gifted. Not only were they powerful, but they also had long lifespans. But it was not easy for dragons to mature because they always had to face many enemies, not only other races but also their own race.
Especially black dragons. They were tyrannical and evil, and they often attacked the nests of other dragons. Once they found infants, they would bite them to death without hesitation.
The blackness covering the entire forest made the green dragon couple mistakenly think that it was caused by a black dragon’s magic. So in their anxiety, they did not look closely at what these black things were and rushed toward the nest.
After seeing these two green dragons flying over, Roy and Julia could not help but look at each other. They knew that they were about to fight these two green dragons, so they were not in a hurry to leave and stopped.
Only Giovanni was nervous when he first heard the dragon roars. But after seeing the size of the two green dragons, he heaved a sigh of relief.
These two green dragons were a few hundred years old at most, and green dragons themselves were not particularly powerful. Even Giovanni had the confidence to deal with them… What Giovanni was most afraid of was provoking those thousand-year-old dragons, especially the red dragons and black dragons. They were recognized as powerful creatures in the entire world of Ashan.
Fat Tiger was very excited at this moment. After he grew bigger, his appet.i.te kept increasing. The two infant dragons from before did not satiate him at all. When he saw two more green dragons flying over, he immediately remembered the aroma of the roasted meat just now, so he whimpered and begged Roy. “Okay, okay!” Roy knew what he meant, so he nodded. “I’ll roast them for you!”
As soon as he heard Roy’s promise, Fat Tiger’s muscles tightened, and his eyes revealed a fierce light as he waited for the two green dragons to come. Sure enough, the green dragon couple soon found their children’s… bones. These incomplete bones and the traces of the campfire beside them immediately let them understand what had happened. Coupled with the dead silence in the forest, the green dragon couple became furious and instantly flew toward Roy and the others.
But just as they saw traces of the enemy from above the forest, Fat Tiger had already stomped on the ground and lunged into the air!
He fiercely bit one of the green dragons’ necks and then dragged the green dragon down from the air! The two ma.s.sive creatures crashed to the ground with a bang, overturning a large area of trees in the forest.
The green dragon bitten by Fat Tiger struggled in fear, desperately trying to get up. However, Fat Tiger’s two heads were biting his neck, and the one at the side was biting the green dragon’s wing and started to shake it vigorously. This green dragon was not Fat Tiger’s match at all. The immense force dragged it around, and blood was dripping from its neck. Fat Tiger’s teeth were almost biting through the hard dragon scales.
Seeing Fat Tiger attack its partner, the remaining green dragon returned to its senses and immediately rushed at Fat Tiger angrily, wanting to provide support. But at this moment, Roy suddenly appeared in the air above the green dragon! “Dragon Slayer Magic!” A layer of fine dragon scales appeared on Roy’s tail, and then he punched the green dragon’s head!
With a loud crack, Roy’s fist smashed into the green dragon’s skull, and even Julia and the others could hear the sound of the bones breaking below.
The green dragon that Roy hit instantly stopped, as though he had pressed the pause b.u.t.ton. Under the immense impact, its head and neck suddenly drooped, and its entire body fell.
With a loud bang, the green dragon slammed onto the ground, shaking it a bit. Then the green dragon stopped moving. After landing, Roy found that blood was slowly flowing out of the green dragon’s eyes and mouth. A large dent had appeared on the top of its head! Roy’s punch actually shattered the exceptionally hard skull of the green dragon through the protection of the dragon scales!
The effect was so good that it surprised Roy. He raised his fist and looked at it. He had not expected that he could kill a green dragon with one punch!
Even though this green dragon was young, it was still an adult dragon, and Roy killed it so easily. It seemed that the Dragon Slayer Magic was very effective against dragons. Roy did not even use his full strength just now!
On the other side, the green dragon that Fat Tiger was biting had no time to cry because it was in grave peril!
It was not Fat Tiger’s first time fighting a dragon, but compared to the dead bone dragons that did not know pain, the green dragon that was still alive had a strong perception of pain. When Fat Tiger bit the green dragon, he found that the green dragon’s resistance was weaker than that of a bone dragon. At least, there was no fight where both sides suffered losses, so Fat Tiger became even more fearless.
His four legs moved back and dragged the green dragon to plow a gully on the ground. Then he dragged it in another direction, shaking his neck from time to time to shake the green dragon. As the green dragon screamed, it opened its mouth and spat out corrosive acid at Fat Tiger. But the acid was not very powerful. Although green smoke was rising from Fat Tiger’s fur, Fat Tiger’s defense was extremely strong, and he did not feel any pain at all. It seemed like the acid could not corrode him.
Roy did not disturb Fat Tiger. He stood beside the corpse with his arms crossed while watching. The remaining dragon saw that the acid was useless against Fat Tiger, so magic power immediately surged in its body.
SS
Under the green dragon’s magic, green gra.s.s grew out of the withered ground once again, and the branches of the trees beside it also grew crazily. All of them wrapped around Fat Tiger. This was the ability of green dragons to control plants. Unfortunately, although these plants were entangling Fat Tiger, the power of these plants could not suffocate Fat Tiger. He bit the green dragon’s neck with all his might while gulping down the dragon’s blood. Gradually, the green dragon’s consciousness became more and more blurry. After it lost control of the plants, the wildly-grown branches and gra.s.s began to fall off Fat Tiger’s body. Finally, Fat Tiger exerted strength, and with a loud, crisp crack from the green dragon’s neck, it was killed.
Without waiting for the temperature of the corpse to cool down, Fat Tiger dragged the dragon to Roy’s side and wagged his tail to beg for barbecue.
Giovanni looked at Fat Tiger in fear. He really could not understand why this enormous h.e.l.lhound liked dragon meat so much…
This is… Dragon Eater! Giovanni secretly gave Fat Tiger a nickname.
However, he did not expect that this nickname would become widely spread in Ashan in the future and become the name that dragons feared the most…
