Chapter Thirty-Seven: Dragon Egg

  "Despicable humans, you are looking for death." A deafening roar followed, "ROAR!"

  "Haha, you were originally just a small snake, but after taking the ancient dragon transformation pill, you have such cultivation. We've been tracking you for a long time, and considering your hard-earned cultivation, it's better to hand over the thing!" Facing the intimidating black python, the man in green robes remained expressionless.

  "You dream, wanting my child, you will all die." Black Jiao roared.

  "Kid, kid? Oh my god, teacher, you can't be talking about this, right? Which means there's a dragon egg here!" Jiang Hao finally understood.

  "Haha, little guy, your luck is indeed not ordinary, it's really a dragon egg! Even in my time, it was extremely difficult to capture a dragon. Dragons are a very proud species. If you want to tame a dragon as a mount, there are only two possibilities: one is that your strength completely surpasses theirs, and the other is that they willingly submit to you. Otherwise, dragons would rather die in battle than easily surrender to humans." said Tianyi.

  "But dragon eggs are different, once you obtain a dragon egg, it's equivalent to having a powerful fighting partner that can be constantly upgraded, and through a special blood contract ceremony, it will be loyal to you alone."

  "Wow, that's great! I'll take this dragon egg then. Teacher, help me grab it!" Jiang Hao's heart itched with excitement at the thought of owning a mount that could grow into a seventh or even eighth rank giant dragon after hatching. Just thinking about it was cool.

  "It's not that easy! Although the giant python was injured, it's not something those seven people can easily defeat. Let's see!" Yi Tian responded with a single word.

  ······

  "Roar~" Another furious roar, the black python's body suddenly swelled up, in a short time it grew to hundreds of meters in size. A pair of huge eyes stared fixedly at the man in green robe, its scales constantly moving, emitting a cold and eerie glow.

  "Alas, since it's come to this, we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands." The man in the green shirt waved his hand-held jade fan and sighed softly.

  "Let's get started, everyone! Formation: Golden Stone Dragon Annihilation Array."

  The blue-shirted man's words had just fallen when the six people behind him dispersed and lined up around Hei Jiao, their hands forming a seal. In an instant, a large array resembling an overturned giant bowl appeared before Jiang Heng. The array shimmered with golden light, constantly revealing golden patterns, while he himself stood at the top of the array, still looking carefree and composed.

  "Haha, this is an ancient mysterious array that I unintentionally obtained. It requires at least seven strong warriors with the dominant earth attribute battle spirit to barely activate it. If you give me the dragon egg now, I can consider sparing your life." The man in green seemed unwilling to fight Black Jiao head-on and instead tried to persuade him gently.

  However, all of this was a blatant provocation to the Black Python. To speak of it, the Black Python was originally just an ordinary black water snake, and even if it had cultivated to its limits, it would only be a fourth-tier magical beast. It was only by chance that it obtained an ancient Dragon Transformation Pill that it was able to transform and reach its current level of cultivation.

  At this time, the black python's heart was quite depressed. Originally, he had been cultivating in the sea all along, but after swallowing the ancient dragon pill, his cultivation speed increased. However, the black python discovered that he was pregnant. At that moment, when he learned of this matter, the black python almost died from embarrassment. He was a male python, after all! If his companions found out that he had become pregnant with children, they would probably despise him for the rest of his life.

  So the Black Python came to the human continent from afar, relying on its newly promoted sixth-order cultivation, and traveled through the clouds without stopping.

  Never thought that when passing by a human empire, the black python was infatuated with a fragrance of cinnabar and couldn't help but descend to steal the elixir. Never expected that the alchemist had cultivated to perfection and himself suffered a great loss without realizing it. In the end, he burned his own vital energy to cast a secret technique and barely escaped into the sky, fleeing desperately along the way. When passing by the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he discovered this place and only needed to slightly release the dragon clan's pressure to drive away the magic beasts here.

  I thought I could quietly recover from my injuries and give birth to the dragon egg, but unexpectedly, that alchemist had left a mark on me, tracking me down from afar. At this moment, Hei Jiao's intestines are all green with regret, and his current body is a mess. Moreover, after becoming pregnant with the dragon egg, some of his innate skills cannot be used, although he managed to give birth to the dragon egg with great difficulty, but has already suffered severe internal injuries. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would not have bothered to talk nonsense with these humans.

  Glancing at the dragon egg behind him, Hei Jiao's eyes revealed a rare gentleness. After all, it was his own flesh and blood. Although its arrival had been abrupt, Hei Jiao had already accepted this fact. No matter what, it was his child. Those detestable humans actually thought of taking away his child; how could Hei Jiao not be enraged?

  "Heh heh, how about this? If you're willing to hand over the dragon egg, I can give you a Shape-Shifting Pill as compensation. What do you say?" The man in green robes said with a calm expression.

  The softness in Hei Jiao's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a bloodthirsty color that crawled up his massive face, ferocious beyond compare.

  "Roar!" The black python let out a mighty roar, suddenly opening its huge mouth. A pitch-black light pillar seemed to pierce through space and in the next instant, it slammed into the massive light shield. A deafening sound suddenly erupted, like the friction between metals. If not for Shi Tian rushing to cover Jiang Hao's ears, his eardrums might have been shattered by this blast.

  The Seventh Rank Magic Beast's Furious Strike is terrifying!

  The rumbling sound lasted for several breaths, and the light pillar gradually dissipated into nothingness. Looking again at the golden stone-colored light array, it was just a brief surge of golden light before it returned to calmness. Apparently, Hei Jiao's heavily injured body was unable to shake this Golden Stone Dragon-Slaying Array.

  The black python's attack was unsuccessful, and the blood color in its eyes became even thicker. It turned around and looked at the blood-colored dragon egg again, its huge mouth slightly open, and a low, murmuring voice slowly came out.

  "Child, Father is sorry to you, Father can't protect you anymore!" In the huge eyes like bronze bells, there was a hint of tears overflowing.

  "Teacher!" The black python turned in the direction of Jiang Hua's hiding place, and its expression was deeply etched in his mind. Ah, that was his child! No matter what he was, they had not deprived him of his right to be a parent. At this moment, the softest part of Jiang Hua's heart was deeply moved. It was because from the black python's eyes, Jiang Hua seemed to see the appearance of a mother, which was the most precious relationship in the world.

  "Ah! What's wrong? Jiang Hao." Ci Tian was talking with Jiang Hao in the sea of consciousness.

  "Teacher!" Jiang Hao took a deep breath, "Help Hei Jiao!"

  "En." Seemingly sensing Jiang Heng's emotional fluctuations, Yi Tian also didn't say much and softly responded with a single sentence.

  The next moment, a sudden change occurred, and the black python suddenly raised its huge head, looking up at the sky and letting out a wild howl. The howling voice was filled with a strong sense of tragic sorrow. The howling stopped abruptly, and the black python looked at the man in green clothes, with red light flashing in its eyes.

  "Despicable humans, you want my child? Step over my corpse first! Today, none of you will leave alive. Do you think this broken formation can trap me?"

  Only to see the black python's mouth open wide, a fist-sized blue bead was spat out, and the black python's breath instantly became weak. The blue bead had just been spat out, and it suddenly went crazy and expanded rapidly, growing to the size of a human head in just one breath. The blue color seemed to reveal a hint of blood, and upon closer inspection, the space around the bead seemed to be shattering, collapsing continuously.

  "It's no good, it's going to self-destruct! Everyone, go all out! I'll pay double the reward!" The man in green saw this and finally revealed a hint of solemnity on his face, shouting in a deep voice.

  Those six people heard the words, and their faces also surged with joyful colors, their whole body's momentum burst out, all of which were poured into the light array. Only to see that the golden stone color seemed even more thick and heavy, as if it were substantial. The man in the green shirt also had his hands tightly attached to the light array, a thick white flame roaring out. Faintly visible, there was a hint of red jumping within the white flame.

  When he saw that man in green take action, Jiang Huan's eyes also jumped, and the leader was actually at the peak of the War King.
