Chapter 199: Thorns and Dragons (3)
Change)
————
When Qiao Shi'an woke up, he found that the system was missing. Sitting up slowly, Qiao Shi'an called the system in his consciousness.
The system also quickly responded, [Shi An, come on, see what good things I found!] 】
Following the instructions of the system, Qiao Shi'an walked down the river, and saw the figure of the system after a while.
Seeing that he was circling around a pile of grass, Qiao Shi'an couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked in a loud voice after some distance, "What is that?" ”
"Shi An, come and see! Great stuff! ”
Hearing her voice, the system hurriedly turned around and said happily.
It was like finding some rare treasure.
But...... Well, it's a big baby!
Qiao Shi'an opened the haystack and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be silent.
It was a giant egg.
It was almost as tall as Qiao Shi'an's calf, and the surface of the eggshell was covered with a layer of fiery red and intricate patterns, and there was a faint wave of magic power on it.
“…… This should be a dragon egg, right? ”
The system observes back and forth around the Dome.
Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, it is still recorded in the system's database.
The egg in front of him was exactly as described in the record.
"Hmm...... It seems that there is more than that. With great effort to erect the egg, Qiao Shi'an lightly pressed his uninjured left hand on the eggshell, and after feeling it carefully, he came to a conclusion, "...... This egg is still a half-breed. ”
"Huh? How do you know? ”
The light on the system's body flickered, obviously surprised by this.
"It's very simple, the magic fluctuations are different," as if it was too troublesome to stand in this position, Qiao Shi'an frowned and hugged the giant egg and sat down on the spot, and after adjusting to a position that he thought was comfortable, he stretched his brows and continued to speak, "It should be a combination of a dragon and a creature, because the magic fluctuations between the two species are difficult to synchronize, so the fetus in this egg has not hatched yet." ”
"I just don't know what's going on as the parents of this egg, the dragon species is the most vulnerable when it is in the dragon egg, and throwing him in this kind of place is tantamount to killing."
There are quite a few beasts in this forest, and dragon eggs happen to be the best tonic for them!
Of course, including humans.
Licking the corners of his lips, a dark light flashed in Qiao Shi'an's eyes.
"Dragon eggs...... I haven't eaten it before, but it tastes good, right? ”
Muttering quietly in his mouth, Qiao Shi'an stretched out his left hand to caress the eggshell in a corner that the system could not see, and a faint light emitted from his palm.
I'm sorry, even if I don't kill you now, but for you, leaving the care of the mother dragon and leaving you alone in this dangerous forest is the most dangerous.
So it's better to let me get rid of you now.
The golden light was gradually approaching, and just when Qiao Shi'an thought it was done, he suddenly felt that the power in his body was rapidly draining!
No, rather, it was devoured by someone at great speed.
No way......
twitching the corners of his mouth, Qiao Shi'an looked at the giant egg with a faint golden light on the shell, and sighed silently for a while.
Shouldn't life be extinguished?
Or maybe it was the little guy's strong desire to survive that saved his life?
Never mind...... It's just a little bit of energy.
Helplessly bending the corners of his lips, Qiao Shi'an maintained the posture of holding the dragon egg in his left hand, moved his right hand stiffly, stretched out a finger and poked it lightly.
"In that case, in order to repay me for saving my life, let's try to live."
Live and then see the world with your own eyes.
As if sensing something, the golden light on the dragon egg became more intense, and even the red patterns on the eggshell became more dazzling.
"Hmm...... Eat slowly, and no one will rob you. ”
As if in response to her, Qiao Shi'an felt that the speed of loss of strength in his body had slowed down a lot.
This egg is quite smart unexpectedly.
Glancing at the dragon egg in front of him again with interest, a smile appeared on Qiao Shi'an's face.
The system watched the "conversation" of one person and one egg on the side, and also found it very interesting, so he floated to the side of the dragon egg and tried to talk to him.
It's a pity that no matter what the system says, the dragon egg is in a state of ignoring it, and it is not as well-behaved as Qiao Shi'an just now.
This realization made the system very angry, and it was impossible to do anything if he wanted to, so in the end he had to hold back his stomach and was sent by Qiao Shi'an to find food.
By the time the system came back with dinner, the dragon egg had already stopped absorbing energy, and slept quietly in Qiao Shi'an's arms.
"Hmph╯^╰, after all, it's just a child, and it's far worse than the adults in my system!"
Glancing at the dragon egg that was silent, the system took the opportunity to black him in front of Qiao Shi'an.
"Shi An, let's leave him alone, we have to hurry tomorrow morning, it's inconvenient to bring such a big guy."
They still have a task to do, and if someone finds out about this kind of thing, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
So, it's best to throw it away as soon as possible!
Qiao Shi'an heard the meaning of the system's words, glanced at it with a chuckle, raised his eyebrows, and pretended not to understand, "Yes, it's really troublesome......"
"That's—"
"But as long as you don't get discovered, wouldn't it?" No, Qiao Shi'an interrupted it first, his left hand lightly swiped over the eggshell, and his eyes were full of smiles, "As long as the little guy hatches out before we walk out of this forest, won't the problem be solved?" ”
"Forehead ......"
The system was choked by her words, apparently completely unexpected.
Coincidentally, his gaze swept over Qiao Shi'an's injured right hand, and the system had an idea, "What about the handling problem?" Shi An's hand is injured and can't withstand strenuous exercise. ”
"Hmm...... This one......"
Qiao Shi'an blinked, his smile sly.
"I'll leave it to you, of course!"
"Me?!"
The system was shocked.
"I don't want it!"
That egg isn't a good egg at first glance, so it shouldn't waste that time and effort on it!
"Ah, that can't be helped."
Qiao Shi'an spread her hands, and just when the system thought she was going to give up, the little girl's next sentence made it completely ruined.
"I had to play myself."
"Dragging my injured wrist to carry the dragon egg, can you bear the system?"
Blinking his big watery eyes, Qiao Shi'an said to the system.
"I, I ......"
Nonsense, of course it can't bear it!
Helplessly, in the end, the system still shouldered the arduous mission of carrying dragon eggs.
Therefore, the resistance of the system from the very beginning is useless!
