Chapter 133 - 132: Bai Qi, You’re Lying!
Bai Qi stared in disbelief at the dragon bone in front of him, which was two sizes bigger than Nicholas. Bai Qi finally believed the other party’s statement that he was still small.
The bone was almost decaying, but it still carried such a formidable aura. No wonder the Dragon Race, with their exceptional talents, was eminent among many systems.
If he took this back, these would be invaluable materials worth a fortune!
Bai Qi’s eyes once again turned into the shape of coins, ready to go ahead and take them, but he noticed something seemed to be piled under the dragon bone.
“Schuck, what are those things?”
Out of caution, Bai Qi did not rush forward.
Schuck released all of his surveillance bees, quickly confirming what those things were.
“They appear to be snake eggs, likely laid by that giant python.”
After having compared and deduced, Schuck finally drew a conclusion.
“Moreover, these snake eggs seem to be about to hatch.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi’s eyes grew cold. With so many snake eggs, even if only a few hatched, it’d have been enough for him to handle.
“Alpha, cool them down.”
At Alpha’s command, an Ice Crystal Barrier was summoned above the dragon bone. It then turned into ice dust and covered the snake eggs, which had been showing signs of activity, and quieted down immediately.
“It seems that those snakes in the valley hatched from here.”
Bai Qi carefully approached a snake egg, looking at the small snake curled up under the nearly transparent eggshell, he suddenly had an idea.
“Schuck, can you find out the species of this snake?”
“Database matching… Found a similar snake species with 78% similarity, the Green Scale Snake. The bloodline appears to have changed.”
Having scanned the snake egg, Schuck provided his own analysis.
“I see, so these snakes are a new species, right?”
“That should be the case.”
Bai Qi smiled, instructed Alpha a few times, and then Alpha instantly disappeared on the spot.
Subsequently, Bai Qi kept moving among the snake eggs, and where he passed, the snake eggs disappeared. The large nest of snake eggs was amazingly wiped clean by Bai Qi.
Roar!
As if sensing what happened to its children, the python that was supposed to be entangled with Nicholas suddenly appeared in the cave. After seeing its now empty home, it recklessly rushed towards Bai Qi.
Oh shit, is Nicholas this unreliable!
Bai Qi cursed under his breath, immediately called back Alpha who was aiding the snake eggs’ hibernation, preparing to face-off with the python.
Boom! Just then, the cave’s roof suddenly collapsed, and Nicholas fell from the sky, landing right on the python. His heavy paws landed on the python’s tail, and his claws held the python’s body firmly. Before the python could counterattack, Nicholas opened his mouth and spewed Jade Breath.
Being hit by the super skill of a legendary creature, the python’s breath slowly faded, and it, like its progeny, turned into Jade light and merged into Nicholas’ body.
“The dragon has won, the dragon really won!”
Having overcome his inner fear for many years, Nicholas was clearly excited, and Bai Qi was quite delighted too.
A legendary giant dragon that had overcome its fear, if he took it out, wouldn’t he be walking sideways in the Federation?
But Nicholas quickly sobered up from his joy, looked at the dragon bones gradually revealing its full view under the sunlight, and suddenly froze.
“Mother?”
“Mother!”
Hearing Nicholas’s words, Bai Qi felt a chill in his heart, and seeing the dragon bone, which was previously deathly still and now suddenly glowing green, he had no choice but to acknowledge this fact.
Originally, he was thinking about taking some relatively well-preserved dragon bones, but it looked like now, unless he planned to measure strength with Nicholas, it wasn’t going to happen.
Well, not being able to have dragon bones meant one couldn’t make a cover for the dragon.
He didn’t care!
Bai Qi forcefully pulled on Husky’s neck, trying his best to shift his attention elsewhere, making Alpha and the slime monster, who were by his side, puzzled.
Ka-pu ka-pu?
(Has the Master always been like this?)
Ga-la ga-la.
(Occasionally, I guess.)
Ka-pu ka-pu.
(I understand now.)
Perhaps sensing the pull of the same origin, increasingly more green light points were emitting from the dragon bone. They lit up the entire cave just like fireflies.
Nicholas also seemed to have noticed something. He did not resist at all and let the green light points enter his body.
Finally, when the last green light disappeared into Nicholas, the huge dragon bone turned into ash and disintegrated instantly. Obviously, because its energy was exhausted, it could no longer maintain itself.
“So, was the python changed because it absorbed the energy from the dragon bone?”
Looking at Nicholas, whose size was obviously larger than before, Bai Qi also understood the reason why the python was so fierce. But the heartache he had just eased flared up again.
Had he been able to take all of it back, and if his three pets had absorbed it, how much would they have been strengthened?
“Hmm, it seems like I’ve found a way out.”
While Bai Qi was heartbroken and once again venting on Husky, Nicholas suddenly said something without a cause.
“Really? Have you found the control core?”
Bai Qi looked around but couldn’t find anything special.
“Mother gave it to me. I’ll try.”
With that, Nicholas’s eyes suddenly turned a jade green, and then a large door appeared.
It was now right in front of them.
Alright, I’m really not bothered by it.
Bai Qi managed to muster a faint smile, just as he was about to look for Husky, he found that the dog had scampered off at some point and was now digging around Nicholas’ feet.
“What have you found this time?”
Bai Qi curiously watched Alpha, temporarily forgetting about his previous loss.
Soon, a meaty object was dug up by Husky. However, after sniffing it, Husky kicked it away with a disgusted look on his face.
I thought it was something good, but it turns out to be this disgusting thing, I’m really disappointed.
“Is that the flesh tumor of a poisonous python?”
Looking at the meatbail that Husky had kicked away, Bai Qi soon recognized its origin.
Although it was a bit small, it was undoubtedly the flesh tumor on the head of the giant python.
If it could be preserved under Nicholas’ Jade Breath, then this meatbail was definitely a good thing!
Thinking this, Bai Qi immediately had Alpha pick it up and store it in the secret space for safekeeping, fearing Nicholas might burn it again if he was not satisfied.
“Hmm, it seems like there are people opening the portal back outside. Should we go?”
Just then, Nicholas appeared to have sensed something, tilted his head, and asked Bai Qi.
“Let’s go, of course we should!”
Outside the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Li Mu’s eyes were bloodshot, one hand tightly pressed on the main entrance of the Secret Realm Tower, unable to feel any chance of opening it, while next to him, Lu Qing was helplessly trying to persuade him.
“Li Mu, I’ve almost deciphered the rune of the main entrance, why don’t you let me give it a go?”
Li Mu heard this and firmly shook his head, saying, “There’s a certain chance of triggering a defense mechanism if the rune is deciphered, it’d be better if I do it.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing sighed lightly, exchanged a glance with Zhou Yan next to him, and was about to forcibly drag Li Mu away.
Given Li Mu’s stubbornness, when he said he wouldn’t retreat, he wouldn’t. However, they had already delayed a great deal of time. If they continued like this, who knew if Bai Qi was still alive?
But right at that moment, the originally closed gate of the Secret Realm suddenly swung open. A huge figure, shrouded in terrifying aura, appeared before them.
Still in the process of fervently trying to communicate with the realm, Li Mu stared blankly at the figure that had suddenly appeared. Before he could react, Zhang Shan, who was in charge of handling this Secret Realm Tower, let out a furious roar.
“Everyone, move away immediately!”
This kind of aura, he had only ever felt it from legendary creatures. Now when none of the legends were present, their only option was to run.
Not only Zhang Shan made this decision, but also the Beast Masters of the Federation who were either cleaning up the nearby waters or maintaining public order, they pulled away instantly upon sensing this aura.
However, they did not run away, but instead went into combat mode.
As Beast Masters of the headquarters, this wasn’t their first time dealing with such a situation, so they had some experience.
Moreover, if they also retreated, wouldn’t the nearby citizens be left at the mercy of this ferocious beast?
After backing away, the group of them finally got a clear view of this creature that was menacingly radiating sheer terror.
A giant dragon!
“Eh? You guys are here?”
Just when everyone was on high alert, a familiar voice suddenly emerged from atop the giant dragon’s head.
Everyone turned their eyes and astonishingly found that the voice’s owner was none other than Bai Qi, who had been trapped inside the Secret Realm!
Zhou Yan reached out and pinched Lu Qing’s arm, asking, “Qing’er, am I still dreaming or is Bai Qi really sitting on top of a legendary dragon’s head?”
Lu Qing adjusted her glasses, brushing off Zhou Yan’s hand in the process, and said, “You are wide awake, you didn’t see wrong, but next time, can you pinch yourself instead?”
Zhou Yan nodded but didn’t respond, simply staring at Bai Qi in idiocy.
Just a few days and Bai Qi was able to contract with a legendary dragon?
“Bai Qi?”
Looking at Bai Qi, who was standing comfortably on top of Nicholas’s head, Zhang Shan furrowed his brows and asked, “Can you simply explain the situation?”
Bai Qi paused for a moment, and said, “Um, it’s a bit complicated, let’s talk about it once we get back to headquarters.”
Zhang Shan:”…”
“Can you at least get the dragon to stop intimidating first?”
“Oh, sure.”
Only then did Bai Qi realize that Nicholas was still releasing his dragon’s majesty and immediately patted Nicholas’ head saying, “That’s enough, they’re going to get scared if you keep this up.”
Nicholas: ”…”
Seeing that Nicholas didn’t respond, Bai Qi leaned over in confusion, only to find that Nicholas’s eyes were rolling back a little.
Oh crap, isn’t he about to faint again?
Seeing this, Bai Qi rolled his eyes and poked Nicholas’ eyes hard in front of the astonished crowd.
Finally, Nicholas came back to his senses, looking at the gathering crowd and feeling a bit dizzy again.
“I have never seen so many humans before, I’m a bit dazzled.”
“Haven’t I told you that you’re a legendary creature? There aren’t many who can defeat you, what’s there to be afraid of?!”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Nicholas felt slightly better. Just as he was about to say something according to the script that Bai Qi had prepared for him earlier, Nicholas noticed that six powerful auras were rapidly approaching from a distance.
They all seemed stronger than him!
Bai Qi, you lied to me!
