Chapter 1280 Hatching (It’s hot and sleepy, so depressing)

Duanmu Huai was very interested in the Ether Dragon, but not because of its fighting power.

Although the Ether Dragon is indeed very powerful in the game, as shown before, it has no shield and relies purely on armor resistance, so it is really difficult to deal with its structure. There are also some players in the game who have obtained the Ether Dragon larvae by chance, but they were basically killed by other guilds when they had the chance.

After all, the Ether Dragon is just difficult to kill, not unkillable, so taking the Ether Dragon to the battlefield is purely a waste of time, and only rich people would do such a thing.

With the strength of the Inquisition fleet, the Ether Dragon can only be said to be the kind that is better to have, but doesn't matter if you don't have it. In terms of firepower, although the Ether Dragon is stronger than an ordinary battleship, it only has one, while Duanmu Huai can easily build hundreds of battleships as long as he has the resources.

Comparing the two, it is very obvious which one is more cost-effective.

The reason why Duanmu Huai is interested in the Ether Dragon is very simple, that is, the Ether Dragon has a characteristic.

They are very sensitive to relics.

Just like in the fantasy world, dragons always like to collect treasures, but few people think about how dragons know where the treasures are?

According to Gureya, the dragons of Manalia are mainly identified by magic power. After all, if an item has a large amount of magic power, it must be a good thing and you can just take it home without explaining.

However, the ability of the Ether Dragon is even higher. It can sense the hidden relics of civilizations in the universe, including some treasures left over from extinct civilizations.

As for how the Ether Dragon identified these relics, the players were not sure, because these relics not only contained magic items, but also many high-tech gadgets, which did not have any magical aura. So at least the Ether Dragon certainly did not use magic to lock onto these relics.

That's why Duanmu Huai was interested in the Ether Dragon. To put it bluntly, he didn't want the Ether Dragon to fight, but it would be very convenient to use the Ether Dragon to search for hidden relics in the universe. You should know that the relics left by many civilizations in the Milky Way are more powerful than each other. Some relics in the game, as long as the player gets them, they will immediately become the master, and their strength will be doubled.

Duanmu Huai didn't know the exact location of many relics, but if he could control such an ether dragon, it would be much more convenient to search for ruins and relics in the future.

However, this is also a difficult problem for Duanmu Huai.

The first thing is... this dragon egg is too big.

The previous ether dragon was an adult, with a length of between 30 and 40 kilometers, while this one was not even a juvenile ether dragon, but just a simple dragon egg.

  So the question is, how big is this dragon egg?

According to the scan results, it is 10 kilometers long.

"My goodness, if this thing hatches, it will cause the world to fall apart."

Standing on the ground, looking at the dragon egg in the distance, Duanmu Huai was speechless. If the bird divination instrument had not scanned the life reaction of the young inside, no one standing on the ground would think that this was a dragon egg, but only a mountain.

"It's this big, and it's just a dragon egg?"

It was rare for Gu Leya to come with Duanmu Huai, and she was stunned when she saw this.

"Then how much will it need to eat after it hatches? It doesn't look like there is that much food on this planet."

"The ether dragon survives by devouring energy. If it relied on eating food, there wouldn't be enough life on the planet for it to eat. Of course, if it wanted to eat, it could eat."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and explained silently.

By the way, the environment of this Dragon Nest planet is very bad, and there is basically no life. This is a planet very close to the star, with no atmosphere on the entire surface, and it is completely illuminated by the star's brilliance. And it is such an environment that is suitable for the incubation of dragon eggs. After all, the incubation of dragon eggs requires a lot of energy. Putting them here allows them to bask in the sun all day long to obtain energy, although the efficiency is a bit low and the time will be longer.

If Duanmu Huai and others were not wearing space armor, they would not dare to stand here.

"So how do we hatch this baby?"

An also came over curiously and stared at the dragon eggs in the distance.

"I'll try."

Duanmu Huai stretched his body and made a decision. His system can collect some things as pets, such as the girl monsters in the Duel City World, like Rabbit and Maid, and Zhen Jiling are all classified as "pets". Duanmu Huai thinks this ether dragon should be similar. Of course, the specific situation can only be seen after it is activated.

"You guys go back to the battleship first. Also, don't mess with those relics. Wait until I go back and take a look."

Of course, there are many relics collected by the Ether Dragon in the Dragon's Nest. In fact, Duanmu Huai doesn't know why the Ether Dragon collects these things. It's not like the dragons in the fantasy world that can sleep on the pile of gold coins. The Ether Dragon is so big that it can crush any relics into pieces when it lies on the ground.

After giving the order, Duanmu Huai jumped up and flew towards the dragon egg.

Most of the dragon egg is covered by high-temperature magma, and the rest is exposed to the scorching sun. To use a human analogy, it is just like taking a sunbath while soaking in a hot spring. Of course, ordinary people would definitely not do this, but the Ether Dragon... after all, it is a Leviathan-level existence, so it still has this ability.

"Boom!"

Duanmu Huai crossed the sea of ​​magma and landed heavily on the dragon egg. The entire dragon egg was motionless, but Duanmu Huai could feel a slow and powerful heartbeat sounding inside the thick shell under his feet.

"Well... let's give it a try anyway."

Duanmu Huai muttered something, then reached out and pressed the shell of the dragon egg. Sure enough, a line of prompt information was soon detected on Duanmu Huai's system panel.

[Ether dragon egg detected (hatching): progress 25%]

  The progress is a bit slow. When will it hatch?

Duanmu Huai frowned, then clicked on the dragon egg's information bar. Sure enough, below the information bar, there was a prompt that said [Can be tamed].

Then let’s get started.

Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands, then stretched out his hand again and placed it on the surface of the eggshell. He wanted to use his divine power to inject this dragon egg to speed up the hatching of the ether dragon. In Duanmu Huai's current priesthood, the power of the God of Destruction is overflowing. Although Duanmu Huai felt that injecting the power of the God of Destruction into the ether dragon egg might not have any good results, he had no choice.

After all, the influence of the other three priesthoods was more terrible. In comparison, the power of the God of Destruction was the easiest to accept. If the other three were to be injected, it was unknown what this ether dragon larva would become.

Hey, Duanmu Huai also wants a priesthood like the God of Life or the God of Holy Light, right?

What a pity... our horoscopes are not compatible, there’s nothing we can do.

For Duanmu Huai, it doesn't take much effort to infuse divine power into such a dragon egg. Although the ether dragon is very large, for Duanmu Huai, who is a god, he can easily use this level of power.

After all, if the Inquisition Fleet hadn't gained experience at that time, Duanmu Huai could have easily killed the attacking ether dragon with one hand. Then, in turn, dealing with a dragon egg would naturally be easier.

Under the infusion of Duanmu Huai's divine power, as expected, the hatching progress of the dragon egg displayed in the system interface began to increase rapidly. After only about half an hour, the hatching progress of the dragon egg increased from 25% to 85%, and then increased again until it reached 99%.

At the same time, the system in front of Duanmu Huai popped up a prompt again.

[The Ether Dragon larva is about to hatch. Do you want to keep it as a pet? 】

Isn't this nonsense? If I don't accept it, why would I waste my divine power?

Duanmu Huai nodded silently.

At the same time, the hatching progress also jumped to 100%.

"Rumble, rumble..."

At this moment, the ground shook like an earthquake, and the entire dragon egg began to crack. From a distance, it looked like a mountain range was collapsing, and the thick eggshell fell off, and then a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from under the ground!

That is the young form of the Ether Dragon!

I don't know if it was affected by the divine power infused by Duanmu Huai, but the appearance of this ether dragon larva is a little different from that of the ether dragon. For example, it has three pairs of eyes on both sides of its head, a total of six eyes, unlike the ether dragon, which has several pairs of compound eyes on both sides that are densely packed like a trypophobia.

In addition, its wings are the same as those of the ether dragon, with thin, transparent wings on both sides of its body similar to those of insects. Its long body spreads out in the air like a giant snake. How should I put it? It gives people the feeling of a half-transformed carp leaping over the dragon gate and transforming into a dragon. It has the dual characteristics of a giant dragon and a fish, and looks quite terrifying and appalling.

Of course, what's even weirder is its color scheme.

The entire ether dragon was pitch black, but its eyes and wings were shining bright red. When it raised its head and looked towards the sky, it let out a deafening roar and breathed, giving people the feeling that a ferocious beast was born, about to destroy the world and bring all things into a dead silence of destruction.

Well, if Duanmu Huai hadn't heard the "weeping" sound coming from the other party's young mind through the mind link, he would have thought that it was a demon beast that destroyed the world.

"This is really......"

Duanmu Huai floated in the air, silently looking at the young Ether Dragon in front of him, who was having fun excitedly but looked like he was going to destroy the planet, with a speechless look on his face.

how to say……………

It's fate, just accept it.
