Chapter 945: Chapter 46: Dragon Egg Hatching_4
Ah Dai hurriedly squatted beside it, caressing its head and said, "Don’t be afraid, once you grow up, you’ll definitely be able to fly."
The gray-black little dragon that hatched from the dragon egg was the child of the King of the Dragon Clan. A thousand years ago, it was with the help of the few remaining members of the Dragon Clan that God Feather saved the continent from catastrophe. The wife of the Dragon King had laid a dragon egg fifty years prior to that. Following the battle with the demons, the Dragon Clan mysteriously disappeared, and the dragon egg was left behind on the continent. Ordinarily, this young dragon should have been a Golden Dragon King like its father. However, hatching a dragon egg requires massive amounts of energy from its parents, and after being left behind, there was no energy available for its hatching. Thus, it could only lie quietly inside a cave in the Death Mountain Range, relying on the weak energy released by the magic crystals inside the cave to sustain its life. By calculation, this little dragon had already lived for over a thousand years. A hundred years ago, just as the dragon egg was about to perish due to lack of energy, Elf Audi, who had entered the Death Mountain Range for training, stumbled upon it in a cave and took it back to the Elf Forest. There, sustained by the spiritual energy of the Elf Spring Water and the ancient elf tree, it came back to life, and its millennia of accumulated energy continued to condense. Finally, it obtained the necessary energy from the Dragon’s Blood, and after being stimulated by the Ultimate Evil Hades Sword and the divine wrath of Xuan Ye, it successfully hatched. However, its hatching was affected by the evil aura of the Hades Sword, which turned it into what it was now, the first Sheng Xie dragon in the world. It continually possessed all the abilities inherited from the Golden Dragon King, as well as certain abilities of the Hades Sword. It would evolve as it continued to grow. Since it already had a thousand years of life, reaching the age of an adult dragon, it could grow quickly as long as it accumulated enough energy.
After hearing Ah Dai’s reassurances, the Little Black Dragon rubbed the sore spot where it had fallen, slowly stood up, chirped softly at Ah Dai, and then rubbed its stomach again.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang laughed and said, "It seems this little one is hungry, but I don’t know what it needs to eat. Raising a dragon is indeed an interesting affair." Curiosity blossomed in the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang following the appearance of the Little Black Dragon, having been accustomed to a quiet life.
Recalling that there was still some food left inside the Dragon’s Blood, Ah Dai quickly chanted a spell, summoning everything inside the Dragon’s Blood, including some food, a Xuan iron bow, five top-grade magic crystals, eleven silver spheres he had made earlier, some of his own clothes, and the steamed buns wrapped in silver tin that he had brought from the Illusive Forest.
The Little Black Dragon’s eyes lit up, ignoring the other food, it opened its mouth wide and ate two top-grade magic crystals in one bite. Ah Dai startled, remembered the gift he had left for Goris, and managed to snatch the black magic crystal away just as the Little Black Dragon swallowed the second magic crystal.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, stunned, said in amazement, "Do dragons eat minerals?" While he was still surprised, the Little Black Dragon had already approached the Xuan iron bow, opened its mouth wide, and took a bite. Perhaps because the Xuan iron bow was too hard, it didn’t manage to bite through and instead yelped in pain, continuously slapping the ground with its little claws. The hard Xuan iron bow was left with a row of small tooth marks.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang picked up the Xuan iron bow from the ground, moved, and said, "This is forged from Xuan iron, Ah Dai, you really do have quite a few treasures!" It’s known that even the Tian Gang Heavy Sword of the second-generation disciples only contains five percent Xuan iron. He casually strung the bowstring, easily pulling the Xuan iron bow into a full crescent, a silver glow emanating, and a solid state energy arrow appeared on the bowstring. The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang shouted lightly, and the energy arrow shot out, piercing into the cave wall. A beam of light entered from outside, and the cave wall was penetrated, the energy arrow disappearing without a trace.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang praised, "Hmm, what a strong bow."
The Little Black Dragon sniffed around on the ground, and Ah Dai, who had just managed to snatch back three of the silver spheres when it bit towards them, saw the rest enter its big mouth, and then it gobbled down the food in a few bites; no minerals meant it had to make do with these.
Ah Dai, watching the Little Black Dragon, which had a bigger appetite than his own, said, "You eat so much, soon I won’t be able to afford to keep you."
The Little Black Dragon extended a front claw, pointing at the black top-grade magic crystal in Ah Dai’s hand, its eyes blinking pitifully.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, clearly in a good mood, handed the Xuan iron bow to Ah Dai and said, "Although there aren’t minerals in the mountain, there’s still plenty of food, let it make do with that."
The Little Black Dragon hummed discontentedly a few times, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang laughingly scolded, "You should be happy you have something to eat, and you still complain? Ah Dai, since he’s your friend, you should give him a name."
Ah Dai was taken aback and said, "Name him? I’m not good at that. Why don’t you do it?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang said, "A gray-black dragon, should we call you Little Black or Xiao Hui?"
The Little Black Dragon, having heard that, shook its head vigorously, clearly having none of it. The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang laughed heartily and said, "So you can distinguish good from bad too! Let me think... Well, you have an evil aura and your eyes are golden, carrying a divine essence, so let’s call you Sheng Xie." The Little Black Dragon seemed very pleased with this name, nodding incessantly and nuzzling the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang’s legs.
