Chapter 403 - 393: White Dragon
Dragon egg?
Chen Feng was a bit surprised. In this cave, aside from countless treasures, there was actually a dragon egg about to hatch.
Yes.
It was about to hatch soon.
Holding it in his hand, Chen Feng could clearly feel the vibrant life force within.
This wasn’t the egg of a sub-dragon, but a true dragon species, as it possessed a dragon’s might not found in subspecies. Although weak, it far surpassed any beast.
Most dragon eggs hatch at temperatures between 40~50°C, similar to the hatching temperatures of reptiles like sea turtles and crocodiles. Generally, hot sand beaches, areas near extinct volcanoes, or land near hot springs can provide such favorable conditions.
However, there are exceptions, such as the White Dragon. Their offspring eggs often require very high temperatures, like 200~300°C, to incubate. In nature, White Dragons can only place their eggs near volcano craters or rely on the heat of their own flames to hatch them.
For instance, Ice Dragons need low temperatures to hatch successfully, meaning their eggs must be buried under ice blocks or snow piles.
This explains why this dragon egg was placed inside a cave.
In such extreme weather, ordinary creatures would have long frozen to death. However, White Dragons have innate advantages; such environments are more suitable for their growth.
The emergence of the dragon egg suggested that the captive wasn’t lying. Indeed, there was a formidable White Dragon here, and those sub-dragons outside were merely guards, specifically to protect the dragon egg in the cave. But the White Dragon hadn’t anticipated its minions being slaughtered so quickly, with its offspring falling into Chen Feng’s hands.
"How should I handle this dragon egg?"
Holding it in his hand, Chen Feng showed some thought on his face.
The dragon egg trembled slightly, very frequently, even showing a bit of protest.
This is reality, not some naive story where the protagonist, after acquiring a dragon egg and hatching it, is recognized as its master at the dragon’s first sight, leading to an old tale of human prestige by dragon association.
A story is still just a story.
Dragons are naturally favored by the heavens. Although the White Dragon’s intelligence is slightly lower than other dragons, it still possesses basic judgment skills.
How could a dragon recognize humans with clearly differing race and aura as kin? Therefore, in such cases, dragons would regard them as enemies, and when possible, they would kill their enemy and use the flesh to replenish their strength.
Win it over with love?
Just think about it. It’s not to be taken seriously.
Compared to such groundless loyalty, Chen Feng had many other options. After some time of nurturing, Order discovered quite a few Beast Tamers. By then, they could be tasked with subduing the White Dragon.
Moreover, another option was to corrupt it, turning it into a demonic pet. Although doing so would ensure the dragon’s unwavering loyalty, its intellect would completely degrade, becoming a weapon of slaughter that only knew commands.
The former maintains its wisdom, but requires others to train it; the latter can stay by oneself but becomes devoid of intelligence. Each has its pros and cons.
A violent explosion sounded from afar.
While Chen Feng was weighing the pros and cons, a large part of a nearby iceberg collapsed, followed by a deep roar.
White Dragon!
A gigantic White Dragon appeared before his eyes!
Chen Feng looked up at the sky, immediately preparing for battle, then dashed wildly towards the exit!
The environment here was too confined. If the opponent unleashed a Dragon Breath attack, even if he transformed into a Demon, he would still sustain injuries. In such a situation, he had to break out to avoid defeat.
Fury!
Its power surged to its peak in the shortest time.
— New grudges and old!
This guy not only killed its minions, but what was he holding in his arms? It was its own egg. He was simply courting death!
The White Dragon was on the verge of going berserk!
Although it’s easy for dragons to produce offspring with other races, for two purebred dragons to conceive is extremely difficult.
Thus, dragons are famously doting of purebred offspring, sometimes beyond common understanding.
Killing its minions meant losing some hybrids, but having its offspring taken meant an unending conflict for the White Dragon.
Thus, the White Dragon targeted him as its primary attack.
It saw its massive form swooping down, not directly attacking Chen Feng with its claws, but inhaling deeply midair, then breathing a gust of bone-chilling Dragon Breath!
— Swift evasion!
Chen Feng’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
In an instant, his human skin had shed away, morphing into a demon’s form. As expected, the White Dragon’s power had reached the Golden Tier. In such a battle, any mistake could lead to severe injury, so Chen Feng had to use all his strength.
The frigid cold chased from behind.
Chen Feng couldn’t launch an effective counterattack now, as the White Dragon, in its madness, persistently pursued with its Dragon Breath. Just a few seconds of pause would result in lethal damage.
The elemental power in the Five-Colored Dragons’ Dragon Breath varied by race. Compared to the high heat of the Red Dragon, the White Dragon’s Dragon Breath was below 80 degrees.
What does that temperature mean?
Iron becomes brittle at this temperature, snapping a screwdriver with little effort. Standing in this temperature, soon the moisture in your breath would frost your eyelashes. A spray of body temperature water would freeze in mid-air, turning into frost, not water droplets.
This is only the edge temperature. Continuous spraying would even lower it to below zero, creating a deadly zone.
The immense figure of the White Dragon pursued from behind. Although surprised by the cunning enemy’s escape, as a dragon, it didn’t care about these things. Being a mature White Dragon meant it was strong, with astounding power, and could continuously use its Dragon Breath.
This wasn’t its first time encountering such a troublesome opponent, but this time, the White Dragon’s pupils narrowed in surprise. It was because its opponent was truly a demon!
What’s going on?
Have those evil beings already been able to freely enter and exit this world?
