Chapter 121 Dragon Egg (Second Update!)
I saw that the figure that suddenly appeared on the Bridge of Eternity was Vivi.
It's just that she didn't come alone, she was holding a huge egg in her hand, this egg looked like it had just been laid, and it was brewing with a very strong vitality.
When Hathaway saw the egg, she almost went crazy. She screamed angrily, "Damn thief! I'm going to tear you all apart!"
"Wait!"
Lance quickly took the egg from Vivi's hand and smiled lightly, "Miss Hathaway, we thought we should have a talk." β
As he spoke, his hand quickly condensed into a spear of thunder.
With the blessing of Rei's crystal scales, he can finally use sorcery, which is something that makes him even more gratifying.
A normal attack may not be able to break a dragon egg, but the Thunder Spear with the blessing of magic is different. It can even open the Dragon Egg of the Time Dragon, let alone the little dragon egg that has just been laid.
Yes, this dragon egg is what Lance asked Vivi to look for before. As the priestess heir of the Highlanders, Vivi was familiar with all things Emerald Wonderland, including the Green Dragon's lair, in fact, in the forest near the Verdant Screen, a valley she only visited when she needed to replenish her nutrients.
Threatening her with the Green Dragon's egg was Lance's third plan.
Apparently, the plan worked, as Hathaway stopped her frantic rants and calmed down.
She knew that if something was wrong with her actions, the ruthless wizard in front of her would undoubtedly kill her unborn child.
"What do you want?" Hathaway said coldly.
This time. She didn't use the arrogant dragon language, but actually used the lingua franca, which shows the importance she attaches to the dragon egg.
Lance breathed a sigh of relief.
The Time Dragon and the Crystal Dragon landed on either side of him, and the two sides resumed their confrontation, only this time, the initiative was in Lance's hands.
In fact, in the process just now, Lance is also betting on the importance that the green dragon attaches to the dragon egg, and under normal circumstances, the mother beast always attaches great importance to her children, but compared to the evil green dragon, this qiΔ is difficult to say. So Lance was still apprehensive about whether the third plan would actually work - if it failed, after all. That is to completely anger the Green Dragon. And he and Vivi may also become the first target of the green dragon's attack.
It's not a comfortable thing to be targeted by a dragon that is close to legend.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
Hathaway did seem to care about the egg.
"Now you can sue me, how do you know there's a dragon egg in her cave?" Vivi asked, standing beside Lance, with some curiosity.
Lance shrugged: "It's easy. Because ten days ago. I've seen her. In that valley. At that time, she was driving a flock of vultures to provide herself with plenty of delicious salmon. And it was at that time that the Drews made an agreement with the Green Dragon. β
"You're right next to them, and they're unconscious?" Vivi was in disbelief.
Dragons' perceptions are very powerful, if that's what Lance says. Hathaway was too careless.
"You've seen how powerful that tent is. Lance explains: "I observed her abdomen at the time β she was pregnant at that time, and it was very obvious. Her belly was high and bulging, and I guess there was more than one dragon egg in it. β
"And you see that she is now with a flat lower abdomen, although it is slightly bulging - this proves that she is still pregnant, but she has already given birth to one before. β
"That's why I asked you to go to the Green Dragon's Lair to find the dragon eggs. β
This reasoning may seem simple, but in fact, it would not have been possible without careful observation and sufficient knowledge about dragons. Thankfully, Lance has the main chip to help him remember, and when he reconfronts Hathaway, the fox immediately finds the difference in her abdomen. And his knowledge of dragons is very rich, and he immediately thinks of the rules for dragons to lay eggs.
Generally speaking, a dragon will only conceive a dragon egg each time it becomes pregnant, and then it will be born - the baby dragon in this egg may break out of its shell, or it may be a dead egg at all. Whether a dragon egg is dead or alive is entirely up to luck - on the other hand, it's the biggest obstacle to the dragon's ability to become the master of the multiverse.
Their fertility is so poor that the more purebred dragons mate with each other, the harder it is to lay eggs, but when dragons mate with creatures of other races, it is easier to produce offspring, and they are able to survive, such as the small dragon - Crystal Dragonlei.
This is also the reason why there are so many sub-dragon species and dragon blood descendants in the continents of various planes.
However, there are exceptions, and if a dragon is pregnant and carries more than two eggs at the same time, it will almost certainly mean that the eggs have the property of survival. The only embarrassment is that because of the relatively large size of the dragon egg, it will cause greater trauma to the mother during childbirth, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the female dragon - this leads the average female dragon to choose to lay two dragon eggs one after the other, rather than at the same time.
And Lance happened to encounter this very unlikely event. One egg was already in the dragon's lair, and the other was in Hathaway's belly.
......
Holding the dragon egg, Lance finally took a few steps forward.
"Ms. Hathaway, I don't really want to hurt your child. β
"Give it back to me, then!" the green dragon roared.
"That's totally fine. Lance shrugged: "But not now, because I wish we could have a good talk." β
"What exactly do you want?" The green dragon roared, "There is no room for negotiation between us, the crystal dragon behind you wants Sodom's scepter, and unfortunately, I need it too." β
Lance looked back with some confusion.
At this time, the crystal dragon's body began to shrink continuously, and finally took the form of a little girl.
Rei walked up to Lance and said crisply, "She's right, I do need Sodom's scepter. β
"Do you hear it, we are absolutely opposed to each other, and your rhetoric will not work for me at all. Hathaway sneered and said, "It's better to return the dragon eggs to me immediately, so that I can still let you live, otherwise, I will tear you all apart!"
"Oh, would you rather give your child's life for Sodom's scepter?" said Lance tentatively.
"Of course I love him! But he wasn't born yet, maybe he didn't have the luck to see the world. The green dragon said slyly, "If you want a definite answer from me, I can tell you graciously: Yes, a dragon egg can make me stop for a while, but it must not make me give up Sodom's scepter." β
"Well, it doesn't look like we're going to be able to work together. Lance looked embarrassed.
"It's best if you realize this, stop procrastinating, I can promise you, as long as you give me back my child, I will let you leave safely!"
The green dragon swooped forward, revealing a hideous face and sharp teeth, "If you don'tβvoila, you'll find yourself overestimating the value of a dragon egg to me!"
"What a ruthless guy. Vivi said with some resentment, "This is her child, and she would abandon it for some kind of scepter?"
"Using someone else's child to threaten her doesn't seem to be something a good person can do. β
At this time, Wei Wei was stunned to find that it was Lei who opened her mouth to criticize herself.
Lance scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Actually, I came up with this plan. β
Lei furrowed her cute eyebrows: "Do you want to help me? You can't do it, this time dragon is very powerful, but it is too small...... You'll have to let it grow a little longer. β
"As for yourself, you can't help me much until I reach level three. β
"It's a little bit to be able to help. "I don't know why you need Sodom's scepter, but my intuition tells me that it has something to do with my resurrection, doesn't it?"
Lei pursed her lips, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. But she still said strongly: "I can do it myself." Get out of here, after all, you just need to take care of the little girl next to you, don't you?"
Lance was stunned: "Lei...... You ......"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. Lei suddenly jumped backwards and walked to the side of the Ash Dungeon army, then stopped: "If I can't convince this green dragon within ten minutes, I'll fight her again." β
"Wait!" Lance called out to Lei, then turned to the green dragon and said seriously:
"Ms. Hathaway, we don't have to work together, do we?"
"In your mind, the best-case scenario is to get your child back and take Sodom's scepter, right?"
The green dragon raised his head: "You humans like to talk nonsense. β
Lance said: "A dragon egg, in exchange for you to leave here." Honestly, do you really believe Campbell's promise? On his way back to the Great Green, he needs a lot of legendary items as consumables, and now that he has no Natural Well, Sodom's Scepter is the best option for providing energy - do you really think he'll give it to you safely?"
"Then what do you mean?" the green dragon's eyes rolled slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The simple meaning is that we don't cooperate, but don't fight either. Get out of the way and let the armies of the Ashes Dungeon attack the Terrace of Return...... Seeing no, the people of the Eastern Council are already about to break through the last layer of shield, and we can fight them from both sides. Sodom's scepter is in Campbell's hand, since everyone wants it, why don't we grab it together?" (To be continued......)
