Chapter 17: Time and the Dragon
The moon is dark and the wind is high, when the dragon beast is hunting.
The gray drake ran swiftly towards its nest with the food it had just caught.
There are many predators in this forest that are stronger than it, and it must be quickly returned to the safety of its nest.
"Bang!"
A loud crash suddenly sounded behind it.
Dust filled the ground, making it impossible to see its enemies.
The drake, which was light gray and had white spots on its belly, spread its wings, about a meter long, and had no muscles on its wings, looking more like bone wings.
It resembles a bronze dragon in appearance, but is only more than 3 meters long.
It couldn't fly, and the wings allowed him to glide for a short distance - a trick that allowed it to escape many life-threatening crises.
It looked at Ron, who was slowly standing up from the crater caused by the impact of the landing.
Under the moonlight
Ron's massive shadow easily covered the gray drakemon's body.
The diamond-like dragon scales also shone slightly in the dark, and the streamlined body was covered with a strange aura, and the wide dragon wings were tucked into the back.
Real Dragon!
It recognized the identity of the creature in front of it.
He opened his mouth wide to show off his sharp teeth and let out a "Boom!" Talented! The voice tried in vain to scare away the enemy on the other side.
The trembling legs could not hide the fear in its heart.
But it didn't back down, it couldn't back down, it had something more important than life!
Ron looked at the intriguing drake.
Normal dragon beasts should prostrate themselves and surrender to the true dragon after seeing the true dragon.
This is a kind of unsolvable suppression in the bloodline.
Even if the true dragons regarded them as a disgrace and disgusted to the point that they would kill them if they saw them, it would be absolutely impossible for the dragon beasts to resist the true dragons.
"Humble drake!"
"What gave you the courage to roar at a legendary iridescent dragon?"
The gray drakemons did not respond, they were different from the true dragons, the drakemons did not grow in wisdom throughout their lives, they only had instincts.
Of course, they don't speak.
It bent its legs, maintained an aggressive stance, and continued to let out "Woo! Talented! The tail behind him was trembling slightly.
Ron felt a little bored, though he had only been teasing him just now.
Just like when people see wild kittens, they can't help but call "tsk".
Ron wasn't prejudiced against drakes.
He just wanted to create a new species with this drake, just by the way.
Well...... Why does it sound so strange?
Ron felt that there was a need for an explanation.
The true dragon will never have a relationship with the dragon beast, let alone take it as a dependent.
Any creature can theoretically be combined with a true dragon, and some true dragons don't care who they're partnering with, unless the other party is a drake.
Even the most lascivious true dragon will refuse to fight with a dragon beast XXOO.
In other words, if Ron gave this drake a little blood, he could theoretically give birth to a new "Rainbow Dragon's Blood Dragoon"?
The name is more tongue-in-cheek, but there is a possibility of theoretical success, and once successful, his goal two can also be completed together by the way.
[Goal 2: Observe 100 kinds of magical beasts and create new species]
Current Progress: 98/100 New Species Created: 0/1
Upon completion, you will receive a reward: Decree of Death
But before he transformed, he wanted to see what gave this dragon beast the courage to resist the real dragon.
What if it's some legendary equipment, artifact, or something......
Ron felt that it was time to get rid of his bad habit of dreaming during the day.
All TM blame system! It must be system-induced!
The power activated invisibly, and Ron disappeared in front of the drake like a shattered bubble.
"Boom! Think? ”
The gray drake beast looked in Ron's direction suspiciously, the real dragon was gone?
The petite head can't leave much room for doubt.
It picked up its fallen prey and turned around and ran quickly, its eyes full of urgency.
Ron kept his strength invisible, and followed it slowly.
After circling the forest for an unknown few times, the gray drake finally began to make its way to the location of the lair.
There are many insidious animals that will choose to follow their prey into their nests, and this method of circling can be effectively avoided.
It's a pity that it met Ron.
Whether it's a human or a dragon, they have a lot of energy and patience until their interest runs out.
After jumping over a fallen tree trunk, the gray drake came to the foot of a remote mountain, and a small hole appeared in front of it.
This is its lair.
Before it could enter, there was a "woo..... Woo...".
It struggled into the burrow and put down the prey it had brought back.
The two puppy-sized little dragon beasts screamed "whining" on their mouths, and struggled to run towards their mother, looking at the uncoordinated limbs, they should have just been born.
The gray drake arched its head over the pieces of meat to make it easier for the children to eat.
Then it lay down cross-legged, protecting the drakemon and the flesh in it, and from time to time its scarlet tongue licked the face of the bloody drakemon.
Ron, who used Transfiguration to enter the small cavern, witnessed this heartwarming scene from beginning to end.
Looking at the two little dragon beasts that had no fur and were trembling all over.
Ron didn't find it cute, he just felt angry.
The anger of renunciation converged in his eyes, so much so that his muscles trembled slightly.
He finally knew why this dragon beast was not afraid of real dragons.
He also understood why the drake didn't eat it after hunting, but ran around with food in its mouth.
Ron had never been so angry!
So much so that he felt as if there was a fire burning in his face, as if he had been whipped by Mecansut.
The reason why Ron was so angry was because
Dragons and beasts are infertile!
All drakes are infertile, and this is because of a congenital defect, they do not have the function of childbearing.
These two little drakemons are the result of man-made!
Looking at the regular knife cuts and sewing marks on the center of the gray drake's belly, Ron had probably deduced the ins and outs of the matter.
There is no shortage of madmen in this world, especially the long-lived creatures like the Lich.
They mixed their hearts with their souls to create life boxes, which gave them the lifespan of almost real dragons.
Because of the lack of souls, almost all of them are mentally ill, and they are keen to study things and things they don't know in order to get pleasure.
For example, the body of a drake beast is transformed into a pregnancy and baby bag, and then the blood and flesh of this drake beast are used to create a baby drake embryo, and then combined with the soul that I don't know where to collect, it is integrated and stuffed into it to achieve the scene of the drake beast giving birth.
Just look at the two little dragon beasts that will leak out of their jaws no matter how they eat.
This transformation was useless, and the two artificial drakemons survived on the flesh that the lich had stuffed into before.
They become weaker and weaker because they cannot absorb nutrients until they die.
And the strange existence of the gray dragon beast, which has awakened its motherhood, will inevitably be dissected by the experimenter to dissect the body and extract the soul to complete their "great" research.
Looking at the corners of the cave, the discarded surgical utensils and glass test tubes, and the peculiar stench of the lich that permeated the cave, Ron confirmed his guess.
After his anger reached his peak, Ron suddenly calmed down.
Anger only makes people weak, and calmness can defeat strong enemies.
Lichs are generally masters of magic, and some have even reached the rank of Legend during their lifetime!
They make themselves lichs in order to gain an endless lifespan.
Looking at the dragon beast with a gentle look in the cave and the two little dragon beasts that kept eating but were hungry.
Ron decided to stay at the entrance of the cave, and if the lich was still interested in the results, it would be back for the next two days to observe the results.
Although he has no affection for drakes, he will not tolerate someone playing with a true "mother"!
She has no wisdom, only instinct, but still guards her children.
Even in the face of an invincible foe like the dragon
There is no point in resisting desperately
Even though the legs are shaking, every factor of the body is shouting the slogan of surrender.
She never gave up hope of life, because she wanted to come back to protect her child.
Compared to those human beings who abandon their wives and children and only give birth to but do not raise.
She's a real mother!
The vision gradually blurred.
Vaguely, Ron seemed to see his mother in his previous life.
How will she face the news after learning that he died in a car accident?
Widowed at an early age, and now she has lost a son in middle age, can she withstand this blow?
Obviously, I deliberately got off work early that night and went back to celebrate her birthday.
That truck......
Ron didn't dare to think about it.
He was afraid that as soon as he thought of this, he would fall into a whirlpool of memories and guilt, and he couldn't extricate himself.
He wanted to become a god, not only for himself, but also for that glimmer of hope.
Legend has it that the astral plane contains all planes, so will there be planes from previous lives?
If the system can randomly enter the plane, will it be random to the plane of the previous life?
Ron didn't know, he only knew that after becoming stronger, he would have the strength to prove these things.
The speed of time is not the same between planes, and I hope that time can be slower if that plane exists.
He looked up at the sky
In the dark night, the stars shine brightly.
Time
Slow down
Slow it down.
