Chapter 1748 - Nest Extinction
A True Dragon could be seen, fighting an intense battle against undying kings. These were imprints, scenes of the past battle!
In the end, the scenes disappeared, turning into strand after strand of draconic energy. They swirled about the nest on the stone cliff, stirring about, as if a True Dragon released a roar.
It was protecting this nest. Meanwhile, not far out, that damaged dragon horn that was dripping blood flew over, resting near the dragon nest.
The golden lion swallowed, but no matter what, it didn’t dare act recklessly. If it really tried to eat a dragon egg, it might be directly strangled to death by s.h.i.+ Hao.
It could tell that s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t come to loot the eggs, but rather truly because he wanted to protect the True Dragon eggs here.
Peng peng peng!
In that bird nest-like structure, an egg was moving. It continuously released noises, as if extremely nervous. It was precisely the dragon egg Ge Gu’s primordial spirit rushed into.
“Don’t be nervous, I don’t bear any malice, only came to take a look.” s.h.i.+ Hao said. He really was scared that it might rush out of the egg before its time.
It was because he already knew that these eggs had some issues. They had already been sealed here for millions of years. They had always been nourished by draconic energy and other things, it wasn’t time for them to appear in the world yet.
“You are evil, you actually followed me over here.” A voice sounded from the egg, precisely Ge Gu.
“I already told you everything. I do not bear malice. If I really wanted to act against you, I would have done so a long time ago.” s.h.i.+ Hao explained.
“I don’t believe you.” This egg was extremely nervous, rolling around in the nest, wis.h.i.+ng to struggle free.
“If you dare speak randomly anymore, I’m going to swallow you in one gulp!” The golden lion bared its fangs, playing along, acting like an evil person.
“Just a stupid lion. Once I come out, I could eat a hundred lions in one bite.” Ge Gu challenged, still carrying an immature voice, clearly rather tender.
“Don’t stop me, I decided that I have to eat it!” The golden lion screamed out.
In the end, s.h.i.+ Hao immediately smacked it flying to the side, not letting it act recklessly. At this time, draconic energy pervaded the air, the broken horn also rising and falling.
When the golden lion saw this, it couldn’t help but be careful, backing up. It really was scared that this dragon horn would start targeting him.
The horn of a True Dragon, this way a divine weapon that could cut apart the cosmos. Even though it was cracked, the essence pretty much all already flowed out, it still wasn’t something it could defy.
“On the ground.” s.h.i.+ Hao lowered his head, seeing some herbs on the ground, some of them red, some purple, some green, all quite special.
It was one thing for these herbs to be sparkling and translucent, but they actually still had dragon scales, their shapes special, leaving one in disbelief. Even herbs could produce dragon scales?
“Dragon Scale Herbs!”
This was a type of wondrous herb that possessed inconceivable effects, rumored to only grow near dragon nests, priceless treasures.
“There are so many!” The golden lion was shocked.
Regardless of what kind of medicine it was that was refined, when some Dragon Scale Herb was added, the medicinal nature would be improved greatly. It was rumored that this type of herb possessed the power of the True Dragon after being nurtured by draconic energy year-round.
This was especially the case where it could strengthen one’s foundation, improve one’s flesh and bones, greatly enhancing a person’s const.i.tution.
s.h.i.+ Hao counted them up, discovering that there were at least fifty stalks. So many of them had been produced, it really was shocking. The release of any single stalk, even if it was in the Nine Heavens, it would fetch a great price.
“If one is cultivating the True Dragon’s secret technique, ingesting this herb will allow one to achieve twice the results with half the effort.” The golden lion said.
It stared at the three eggs, eyes rolling around, full of desire. It suspected that s.h.i.+ Hao might be interested in the True Dragon Precious Technique, the same was also true for itself.
In its eyes, the secret technique of the Vicious Ten’s number one expert, who didn’t want it?
“Please treat my child well.”
Right at this time, a sigh sounded. Moreover, an extremely weak voice sounded. Then, with a kacha sound, the dragon horn actually broke into two, falling onto the ground.
It was damaged to begin with, and now, it broke again.
s.h.i.+ Hao was alarmed. Was this the voice of the True Dragon?
The golden lion even more so s.h.i.+vered inwardly, involuntarily backing up, almost falling off the stone cliff. Its expression was extremely unnatural.
What was strange was that the dragon egg didn’t show any reaction, not hearing anything. That voice was only directed towards s.h.i.+ Hao and the golden lion.
Honglong!
In the primal chaos, a stone wall appeared, descending here. s.h.i.+ Hao saw even more characters, all of them Immortal Ancient text.
“It acknowledged me.” s.h.i.+ Hao sighed.
That dragon horn had a ruined imprint that belonged to the True Dragon. It sensed the Iron Blood War Banner’s aura from s.h.i.+ Hao’s body, moreover sensed a bit of where s.h.i.+ Hao had been.
For example, he obtained the Iron Blood War Banner’s acknowledgement,he also obtained the Kun Peng’s inheritance, both of these proved that he was an ally, not the enemy.
Chi!
In the end, this place erupted with brilliance. A piece of bone flew out, spotlessly white like jade. It was sparkling like a mirror, producing the brilliance of endless time.
At this moment, s.h.i.+ Hao and the golden lion both s.h.i.+vered inwardly, discovering that they were transparent, their bodies becoming entirely translucent.
“Dragon Bone Mirror?!”
The True Dragon died, the dao bone that was left behind was like a precious mirror, but in reality, it was more like the cremated ashes of the ancient monk bloodline, possessing wondrous uses.
It reflected all of s.h.i.+ Hao and the golden lion’s secrets, sensing them. In the end, it released a sigh, the True Dragon Imprint becoming completely at ease.
It fully acknowledged s.h.i.+ Hao.
Soon afterwards, s.h.i.+ Hao also found out what happened, because that imprint didn’t hide from him. It was extremely direct, asking him to take care of the little True Dragon in the future.
“I was defending against a great enemy, thinking that he returned. In the end, he never appeared, seems like he already died.”
In the end, this imprint shone, pa.s.sing over the stone wall that appeared in the primal chaos. Even more characters appeared.
s.h.i.+ Hao read them carefully, and then immediately understood what happened to this place.
Of the three dragon eggs, two of them should have become dead eggs, only one living, but even this one experienced issues. Not even endless years of nourishment were able to make it come out into the world.
Only Ge Gu’s primordial spirit left this place. That dragon body was the result of it attaching itself to a great venomous python’s body, using its body to cultivate, evolving to that step.
s.h.i.+ Hao was shocked. This little dragon really wasn’t simple. It wasn’t even born, yet it suppressed a vicious beast, borrowing its body and still managing to cultivate to that step.
The characters left behind by the True Dragon explained that there were some ways that could ensure Ge Gu doesn’t suffer any inherent faults, asking for s.h.i.+ Hao’s help.
“Crush the dragon horn, scatter it over the egg, and then supplement it with the following divine medicines; Dragon Scale Herbs, Nine Revolutions Yang Herb, and others.”
s.h.i.+ Hao immediately felt a huge headache. The former few were fine, he could still manage, but the Nine Revolutions Yang Herb, where would he find such a heaven-defying thing?
If there wasn’t one, then the little True Dragon could also appear, but it would be a bit lacking. However, it wasn’t that there was no way to deal with it either. As it continued with its cultivation, it could completely revive.
s.h.i.+ Hao carefully examined the stone wall, remembering everything.
That enemy didn’t come, while the dragon horn was also pretty much consumed. The essence blood was all scattered over the three eggs, completely exhausted.
Now, even the dragon horn was going to be ground up to be used by that little True Dragon.
s.h.i.+ Hao released a sigh and said, “Ge Gu, your parents handed you over to me. Let’s go, I’ll bring you out of here.”
“Who do you think you’re fooling, you bad guy!” That dragon egg struggled again.
“You cannot act randly, you cannot come into this world yet.” s.h.i.+ Hao said.
Wenglong!
The broken dragon horn shook one last time, releasing a faint streak of light. It flew into the dragon egg. Ge Gu calmed down, and then it suddenly wept.
It was clear that before the True Dragon’s imprint scattered, it already spoke to its child.
“Let’s go, we can’t stay in this place. The primal chaos cracks are unstable, it will likely collapse soon.” s.h.i.+ Hao said. Without the True Dragon Imprint, this place was going to fall into ruin.
The True Dragon egg was quiet. Ge Gu was disappointed, not saying anything.
s.h.i.+ Hao really wanted to completely dig this place up, seize everything related to the True Dragon, not leave an item behind.
What left him shocked was that apart from the Dragon Scale Herbs, there were some unknown stalks of divine medicines growing behind the dragon nest, clearly not ordinary things.
Wuwu…
In the end, while crying and full of reluctance, Ge Gu could only leave.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t hesitate at all. He picked up the entire dragon nest, directly bringing the three eggs out from this place.
After reuniting with Qingfeng, the golden lion turned into a crazy gust of wind, rus.h.i.+ng past the sky dome, quickly bringing s.h.i.+ Hao and the others towards Stone Village.
“We ended up looting an entire nest of True Dragon eggs, I’m not dreaming, am I?” Qingfeng felt a bit dizzy. This felt too unreal.
When they came back, all of the villagers surrounded them.
“Little Hao, what kind of bird egg is this? Why are they so big? Do you want to eat them, or are we going to incubate them, raise some little birds?” s.h.i.+ Linhu asked.
He was the previous leader of the hunting group, now handed that duty over to Dazhuang and the others, living each day rather leisurely, only watching over the training of the children in the morning.
“Uncle, these can’t be eaten, they are dragon eggs.” Qingfeng said mysterious, finding it hard to hide his excitement.
“What are you playing at?” Forget about s.h.i.+ Linhu, even the people further out were shocked, looking over together.
“They really are dragon eggs. This time, even I am in a bit of disbelief.” s.h.i.+ Hao nodded.
With a hong noise, a large group of kids immediately rushed over. If it wasn’t for s.h.i.+ Hao grabbing them, the group of monkeys might have really jumped into the dragon nest, all of them full of curiosity.
Even the children who came from Desolate Border were shocked, walking over.
