Chapter 49 [Killing the Dragon and Taking the Egg] Part 2
Jin Long said: "This is the dragon spirit. The key for the dragon clan to thrive." Jin Long sighed: "The master is dead. My life will soon leave with the master."
Tang Lie asked in confusion: "But you are a dragon. Does a dragon's life depend on its master?"
The golden dragon nodded slowly: "If the dragon dies, although the master loses his power, his life can still last for a long time. If the master dies, the dragon will die with him, because my life is given by the master. You can’t survive in this world alone.”
Tang Lie looked at the golden dragon with sympathy. He didn't know how to comfort it for a while.
Jin Long said: "Your body is full of magical power. I think this is the real reason why the master chose you as the heir to the scepter."
Tang Lie shook his head and said: "He entrusted me to give the scepter to Princess Xuanbo. I am not his designated heir."
"Although the scepter is a royal token, the dragon spirit can only be given to men." Jin Long said decisively.
Tang Lie stared blankly at the golden pearl in his hand. It seemed that what Jin Long said should be true. If Xuan Sizhe just wanted to pass the scepter to the princess, why would he give it to an unrelated person like himself?
Jin Long said: "If you want to become a true dragon knight, you must hatch your own dragon with your own hands. Only by possessing dragon essence can you hatch dragon eggs."
Tang Lie asked strangely: "Although I have the dragon spirit, where is the dragon egg?"
The golden dragon sighed sadly: "It's in my belly."
Tang Lie looked at the huge body of the golden dragon, but he didn't know how big the golden dragon's egg was. The largest one he had ever seen was an ostrich egg. In theory, the dragon egg should be much bigger than the ostrich egg.
Jin Long said: "The dragon egg has not yet been conceived. I am unable to give birth to it successfully. If I want to take it out, I must cut open my abdomen with a knife."
Tang Lie couldn't bear to say, "How is that possible?"
"I don't have much time left in my life. If I die, the dragon egg in my body will completely lose its vitality with me. If you want to continue its life, you must do this." Jin Long slowly said lying on the grass.
Tang Lie pursed his lips hard. The muscles of his eyelids twitched for no reason. He suddenly turned his head: "I can't do it."
"You can definitely do it. Since the master has chosen you, it proves that you have the power to control dragons. Please." The golden dragon prayed in a low voice.
Tang Lie tightened his grip on the handle of the knife. The muscles in his arm trembled due to excessive tension. He slowly pulled out the long knife and slowly came to the front of Jin Long.
The golden dragon's eyes were calm and peaceful. There was no fear: "Be careful to cut my scales. Don't hurt the dragon egg."
Tang Lie nodded heavily and finally made up his mind. The blade of the blade was pressed against Jin Long's abdomen. His arm exerted slight force. At this time, a powerful force from Jin Long's body was transmitted along the blade into his arms. His arms became It became scorching. The leather armor on his upper body seemed unable to withstand the torment of the temperature. It started to burn from his right arm. After a brief panic, Tang Lie's heart calmed down again because he found that the flames did not cause any harm to his skin.
The blue holy dragon tattoo once again clearly appeared on Tang Lie's right arm. The power incoming from the golden dragon's body quickly transformed into Tang Lie's own energy. Tang Lie forgot about sympathy and pity for a short time. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to what was in front of him. While working, my right arm could clearly feel the place where the energy gathered in the golden dragon's lower abdomen. According to Tang Lie's speculation, that should be the location of the dragon egg.
The long knife carved from the dragon lizard's horn is extremely sharp. It has a natural restraint effect on the dragon's body scales. Tang Lie's technique is skillful and the force is just right. He slowly cuts open the weakest lower abdomen of the golden dragon. Blue dragon blood surges wildly. When it came out, not a drop fell on the ground. It was completely absorbed by the long knife in Tang Hunter's hand. The dark brown color of the blade gradually turned into blue. As he drank the dragon's blood, the color of the blade became darker and darker, and finally completely changed. became black.
Golden light shone outward from the golden dragon's dissected abdomen. The strong light stimulation almost made Tang Lie unable to open his eyes. His right arm penetrated the golden dragon's warm body to feel for the location of the dragon egg.
Waves of heat flowed from the palm of his right hand into his right arm. Because the entire right arm was completely inserted into the golden dragon's body, Tang Lie could not see the specific changes in his right arm. But he could feel the muscles in his right arm constantly expanding. .He suddenly realized that he was absorbing the energy of the golden dragon.
Tang Lie felt a pang of guilt, but he understood what his most important task was at the moment. He carefully groped with his right hand inside the golden dragon's body, and finally touched the hottest source of energy. The fingertips of his right hand touched a smooth and hot object. .The golden dragon let out a dull groan due to the severe pain. Its dragon claws were all deeply inserted into the ground, enduring the severe pain as Tang Lie groped inside his body.
Tang Lie carefully explored the surroundings of the dragon egg. Finally, he successfully held the dragon egg in his palm and slowly pulled his right arm out of the golden dragon's body.
Strong golden light came out from between Tang Lie's fingers. Tang Lie finally got used to the dazzling glare. He opened his palm. It was a golden egg the size of a table tennis ball. Tang Lie never expected that a dragon egg could be like this. Small. One size smaller than an egg. The eggshell is actually still soft.
The golden dragon's dark blue eyes stared lovingly at the dragon egg in Hunter Tang's hand. Then his eyes revealed unspeakable disappointment. It weakly shook its head. This dragon egg came too early and has not yet been fully formed. Even if there is a dragon spirit, I am afraid that it will not be able to successfully give birth to a golden dragon.
Tang Lie said: "Is it it/"
"It's it... If you want to hatch a golden dragon, you must use your own energy to melt the dragon essence, cover it on the dragon egg, and gestate it for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. Only then can it break out of the shell..." After the golden dragon said this In a word. Its huge head suddenly dropped down. The golden scales all over its body dimmed in an instant. The cold wind blew by, and the huge body turned into fly ash and flew away with the wind.
Tang Lie stared blankly at everything in front of him. Only four deep claw marks were left on the ground. The golden dragon did not leave even a single scale.
The long knife that had drunk the dragon's blood had completely turned into gold. There were two long dragons circling and flying on both sides of the blade. Fingertips gently touched the blade. The texture was like metal. It made a pleasant golden sound when flicked gently. The texture must have changed under the influence of dragon's blood.
Tang Lie murmured: "I'll call you the Dragon Slaying Sword from now on." The long knife made a false slash in the air, making a scream that broke through the air. The sword's energy actually split the banana tree in front of it into two pieces. Compared with The previous power has been enhanced.
Putting away the dragon-slaying knife, Tang Lie focused on the dragon egg and dragon essence in his hand. Although the golden dragon said that it could melt the dragon essence with its own energy, it did not tell him the method of using energy. Tang Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head. He shook his head and thought to himself, even if this dragon egg can hatch, it must be a premature baby. Whether it can survive is still unknown. He gently stroked the shell of the dragon egg. It seemed to have hardened a lot. Tang Lie carefully used the cloth to Package. Put the dragon eggs and dragon essence into the skin bag around your waist.
Tang Lie came to her side silently. The night was getting dark and the heavy rain had just stopped. This small valley was extremely quiet. Fina's chest was heaving violently. She sat up suddenly and threw herself into Tang Lie's arms in horror. Her pretty face was pressed against Tang Lie's chest.
Tang Lie gently stroked her soft golden hair and comforted her softly, trying to help her calm down.
When Fina calmed down, she immediately realized her gaffe and pushed Tang Lie away with a pretty face.
Tang Lie knew that although Fina looked strong on the surface, she was very thin-skinned. He deliberately coughed and changed the subject: "I don't think the Lande people's pursuers will find this place in a short time."
Fina nodded slightly, but still did not dare to raise her head to look at Tang Lie. She whispered: "Where is the golden dragon."
Tang Lie felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart when he mentioned the golden dragon. He tried his best to control his emotions: "The golden dragon flew away after saving us here."
Fina whispered: "If I guessed correctly, that is the emperor's golden dragon. The emperor has passed away. Its life is only afraid of..." All the warriors in the Xuanwu Empire understood this fact.
Tang Lie nodded silently and stood up from the ground. He waved his arms in the air: "I'm a little hungry. I'd better fill my stomach first."
Fina smiled gently. It was easy to forget many sad things when she was with Tang Lie.
There were many flying birds passing by in the valley. Fina used the golden crossbow in her hand to shoot down a few easily. She and Tang Lie lit a bonfire under the banana tree, and the wild birds scurryed up and were roasted on the fire. Fina Although she is not good at cooking, due to her long-term military service, she has been specially trained for survival in the wild. Hunting and picnics are her strengths. The mountain birds roasted by her own hands are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The fragrance is overflowing. Tang Xun eats it. He was full of praise and said cheerfully: "I didn't know you still had such skills. I wonder if that man will be lucky enough to marry you into his family in the future."
Fina spat softly: "You are still making fun of me after eating the food I made. You are really going too far."
Tang Lie laughed loudly. He felt that Fina's shy appearance made him particularly moved. He boldly tried to say: "Fina, it would be great if I could eat the mountain bird roasted by you every day. "
Fina was so smart. How could she not hear the hidden meaning in Tang Lie's words? She chuckled softly, picked up the white silk beside her and said, "If I feed you like this every day, one day you will get tired of it."
"No. As long as I'm facing you, I won't get tired of it." Tang Lie said boldly.
Fina couldn't help but feel flustered under Tang Lie's scorching gaze. She stood up and said, "I'm going to freshen up. It's almost dawn. We have to rush to Chuanyun City as soon as possible to meet the commander." She ran away. He seemed to be running towards the pool ahead.
Tang Lie looked at Fina's beautiful figure and couldn't help but shook his head. Fina's personality has always been strong. If he showed too much initiative, it would arouse her resistance or even disgust. Tang Lie thought twice and decided to take it slow before proceeding. The offensive against Yiren.
Fina buried her head in the cold pool. Tang Lie's words just now still echoed in her ears. She quietly touched her heart. Her heart was still beating violently. She said silently: "Tang Lie, you bad guy, why did you say those words to me?" This was the first time in her life that she could not forget a man like this.
Suddenly there was the sound of slight footsteps behind her. Fina bit her lower lip gently. Fang was a little scared but also a little surprised. As expected, Tang Lie, a shameless guy, followed her.
She turned around suddenly: "Tang Lie, you are so annoying..." Her pretty face lost all color in an instant, and her pupils dilated due to extreme fear.
Standing behind him was a tall and thin man. He was wearing a short animal skin skirt. Most of his skin was exposed. His skin color showed a sickly pale color. It seemed to be the color caused by being soaked in pool water for a long time. The skin on his elbows and legs was There was a lot of green moss growing on the folds. The skin on the top of his head was rotten in many places. It spread to his face. The left half of his face was completely rotten. There was only one eyeball left. He looked at Fina blankly, showing greed. And the lustful eyes.
"Ah." Fina let out a terrified scream.
The man tremblingly approached Fina. A terrifying sound came from his throat: "Min Luo... Min Luo..." Both arms stretched forward. There were only two fingers left on the left hand. Although the right hand had all five fingers, it was full of fingers. The tip of one finger has rotted away.
Although Fina was a general who commanded thousands of armies, she had never experienced such a terrifying scene. She took a step back, quickly drew out her jade sword and pointed it at the man: "Don't come over. If you come over again, I will take action..."
The man cried sadly: "I never thought of killing you. Min Luo... why do you still blame me?" As he spoke, he still pressed forward.
Fina had no way to retreat. Further back was the pool. She bit her lips and picked up a flash of green light with the jade knife in her hand. She whizzed away towards the man's neck.
The man did not make any evasive movements. When the Jasper Sword was about to approach his body, his left hand reached up like lightning and held the blade firmly with two fingers. As a member of the Golden Warriors, Fina's martial arts had already reached the top level. He was among the masters. Unexpectedly, his opponent caught the weapon with just one move. The shock in his heart was really overwhelming.
"Let her go." Tang Lie's roar sounded from behind. He rushed over when he heard Fina's first scream. Out of concern for Fina's safety, Tang Lie struck without mercy, holding hands tightly. Holding the dragon-slaying knife, he rushed forward at high speed until he was still about five meters away from the man. He leaped, raised the dragon-slaying knife high above his head, and slashed at the man's rotting head with all his strength, trying to split him in half with one blow. .
Sure enough, the man let go of the jade knife. He let go too suddenly. Fina tried her best to grab the knife backwards. The inertia made her fall backwards into the puddle.
The man's bloodshot one eye stared at the dragon-slaying knife in Tang Lie's hand. A trace of unnoticeable surprise flashed across his body. His body slid slightly to the right, avoiding Tang Lie's inevitable blow. His right hand stretched out like a spiritual snake. He grabbed Tang Lie's wrist. Before Tang Lie could react, he already clamped the blade with his left hand and snatched the dragon-slaying knife away.
He threw his right hand with all his strength. Tang Lienuo's big body screamed and flew backwards. His back hit the banana tree hard, breaking three banana trees in succession before falling to the ground.
