Chapter Twenty-Six: The King of the Sky
The vigilance of the female fire dragon lasted for several minutes.
Fortunately, although the intelligence of the Wyvern far surpasses that of ordinary beasts, it is not as clear as humans or Eru have clear logical thinking and intellect.
After a while, seeing that there was no more movement, it lay down again and continued to rest, while Gordon and the pork chop had to lie down together.
It seems that he has to wait for the female fire dragon to wake up and leave the lair before considering evacuating.
Time passed in the sleep of the female fire dragon, minute by minute.
Until nightfall, the female fire dragon had no intention of waking up, and Gordon and Pork Chop had to take turns on guard, closing their eyes and resting their minds, and did not dare to really sleep, lest they inadvertently make a noise.
A whole night passed.
The stars fell in the sky, and the sky was slightly gray.
Gordon yawned silently with the pork chop, but kept cursing the female fire dragon's snooze in his heart.
And at this moment, the female fire dragon finally woke up!
I saw it shake its head, as if to dispel its sleepiness, and then slowly stood up.
The night of snorting makes the dragon egg warm, and it uses the tips of its wings to pluck the thick ash in the nest, covering it with the residual carbon ash to maintain the temperature of the dragon egg.
After doing all this, it spread its wings, and its strong muscles drove the wing membranes to stir the air, providing it with enough lift, and its huge body weighing more than ten tons slowly rose into the air.
Walk through the opening at the top of the cave and eventually disappear into the dawn of daylight.
Gordon and Pork Chop did not act immediately, but lay on their stomachs for a few more minutes, and after confirming that the female dragon had flown away, they got up from the ground where they had been lying all night.
Twisting his waist hard, the stiff back spine made a dense crackling sound, and the soreness that had been accumulated overnight seemed to dissipate, and Gordon couldn't help but let out a moan of pleasure.
It's time to leave!
However, under the golden light of the morning sun pouring through the cave top opening, the three fire dragon eggs in the ashes-filled nest exuded an almost demonic attraction like a legendary treasure.
Gordon and the pork chop looked at each other.
The female fire dragon has just left the nest to forage for food, no matter how fast it is, it will take half an hour and an hour, right?
If you don't steal eggs now, when?
A man and a cat came to the dragon egg with a strange smile, and Gordon compared it a little and chose the smallest of them.
Anyway, the big and small points are all the same pay, so why bother yourself? Big, sturdy babies should be left to their mothers to take good care of.
He took out a light yellow potion from his bag and poured it down on his neck.
This is a special drug called "strong walking medicine", and during the duration of the drug, the user's stamina will become stronger, in short, less likely to get tired.
After all, he had been carrying a round giant egg over the mountains for several kilometers, but it was a hard job, and he was hungry all night, and he had no strength on the way.
Due to the snorting of the female fire dragon, the temperature of the fire dragon eggs is relatively high, even to the point of being hot.
But that wasn't a problem, he was wearing a full suit of armor, and the temperature wasn't enough to burn him.
"Hey!"
Holding the dragon egg with his hands around him, Gordon checked it, feeling that the weight was okay, at least not as heavy as his blasting knife.
It's just that the round ones are not very easy to focus on, and the thick egg liquid in the eggshell is dangling, causing the center of gravity to be unstable, and it is also a little obstructive to walk.
"Let's go! Pork chops! ”
Gordon didn't want to stay in this dragon's lair for a second, and if he left a second earlier, he would be able to run a little farther before the female dragon returned, and now was not the time to grind!
The pork chop opened the way, and Gordon trotted closely behind, and the two of them slipped through the cracks in the rocks, ran out of the dragon's lair, and plunged headlong into the leafy forest.
From the moment he entered the woods, Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if the female dragon has excellent eyesight, it will not be easy to see them through the layers of canopy in the sky, as long as you pay attention to the point and choose the route with lush vegetation, there should be no surprises.
Maybe it was the effect of the strong walking pills, or maybe it was the fact that he was about to complete this high-paying task without danger, and Gordon only felt that his legs were windy, and he was running faster and faster.
Kilometers of forest mountain roads were left behind in a blink of an eye, and as long as they passed the last pebble river beach in front of them, they could reach the camp at the bottom of the valley!
The river beach is flat, and it is much easier to walk than the potholed forest path full of tree roots and rattans, but unfortunately there is no canopy to cover it, which makes people feel less secure.
Gordon sighed in his heart.
But it's okay, the female fire dragon shouldn't have returned to the dragon's lair and found that the dragon egg was missing, right?
Steady!
Just as the young hunter couldn't help but smile excitedly, fantasizing about what he would eat for the celebration when he returned, the scream of pork chops and the howling of the wind exploded in his ears at the same time.
"Watch out for meow!!"
Under the interaction of the sense of crisis and muscular reactions cultivated in the hunting ground for many years, Gordon threw the precious but obstructive dragon egg aside without thinking about it.
At the same time, the body then pushed away the reaction force of the dragon egg, and flew out with all its strength towards the other side.
"Click!"
Huge dragon eggs shattered on the pebble riverbank, thick golden eggs splashed everywhere.
However, Gordon didn't have the energy to care about this at this time.
A huge dark red figure swooped past where he had just been, with the fierceness of tearing everything apart.
Huge claws, which were bigger than his whole body, gripped at the pebble riverbank, digging a conspicuous deep trench into the riverbank.
Gordon, who got up in a hurry, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
If he had reacted half a second later, he would have been caught in a puddle by those sharp claws.
The attack missed, and the crimson figure pulled up in a sensitive stance that didn't match its size, spun around in the air, levitating and looking down at him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
A terrible roar that had never been experienced before turned into a deafening sound that swept across the entire river beach, and both Gordon and Pork Chop involuntarily covered their ears and couldn't move.
It's a roar that belongs to a flying dragon!
"Leorez (Male Fire Dragon)! XX, isn't there only one female fire dragon?! Gordon looked up at the giant wyvern soaring through the air like a falcon, and couldn't help but explode into a foul mouth.
He finally knew why the pork chops, which were very sensitive to hearing and smelling, had not been able to give warning earlier.
Worthy of his reputation as the "King of the Sky", the male fire dragon had just approached him at great speed in a swooping posture similar to that of a bird of prey, and the pork chop had no time to react!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the torn fire dragon egg on the riverbank.
The mission was doomed, but now he had no room to feel annoyed and sorry for it.
Look at the male fire dragon who is obviously in a state of rage, as if he realizes that the pool on the ground is his unborn child, don't wait a little longer to call the child ......
Hehehe, will I be able to return to the village alive this time?
