Chapter 1144 Alduin and the Phoenix
A group of people gathered around the stove, looking at the black dragon egg.
The cracks on the dragon egg grew bigger and bigger, the sound became louder and louder, and then a tiny claw stretched out from inside.
"Do you want to help it?" Yin Lishabai stretched out her hand, wanting to help open the dragon egg.
"No, this is its own business. Every dragon needs to break out of its shell on its own, without relying on help from outsiders."
Molly quickly stopped Elizabeth Yin.
"Why?" Yin Lishabeth was curious.
"This is related to their potential. Only dragons that break out of their shells with their own strength can achieve the greatest potential. For those that are born with external forces, their potential cannot be maximized and their ultimate achievements will be limited."
"Is there such a thing?" Yin Lishabai blinked her big eyes, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Of course, this is the conclusion our family has reached after hundreds of years of research and a series of experiments. Only those who break out of their shells with their own strength can gain the greatest potential and grow into true dragons. Otherwise, they are just flying lizards."
Molly said seriously.
“I see.”
Yin Lisha nodded, and her useless little knowledge increased again.
While the two were talking, the crack kept getting bigger. Another small claw stretched out, grabbing the edge of the eggshell, trying to open it outwards. The crack in the eggshell kept getting bigger.
The three of them just huddled around the stove and watched.
After more than half an hour of effort, the crack in the eggshell was finally wide enough, and a lizard head not much bigger than a thumb popped out from it. The lizard head opened its mouth and chirped.
roar--
If it is an adult dragon that is more than ten meters long, the roar may be terrifying.
But when the dragon is shrunk small enough, this demonstrative cry becomes very cute.
Sparks burst out of the lizard head's mouth.
Then, the lizard head squeezed out and jumped onto the ground.
Only then did Zhang Tuohai see the other person's appearance clearly.
This guy is less than 20 centimeters long, pitch black all over, covered with fine scales, and has a pair of wings that are constantly flapping. If you magnify it dozens of times, it looks a bit like a dragon. Its nose is constantly sniffing the ground, as if looking for something to eat.
Molly turned back to the long table, took the half-eaten roast chicken, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to the black dragon that had just hatched from the shell.
“Ah——”
When the little black dragon saw the chicken leg, he licked his lips, jumped up, bit the chicken leg, and kept tearing the meat off it with his mouth wide open.
In a short while, the little black dragon had eaten the whole chicken leg, even chewing up the bones and swallowing them.
There was no residue left.
"Would you like some more?" Yin Lishabai also brought over her roast chicken.
"No, a newborn dragon is not suitable for eating too much. Just increase the food intake little by little."
Molly took the little black dragon into her hand and stroked it. The little black dragon rubbed its head against Molly's palm, curled up in Molly's palm, and fell asleep.
"Just sleep after eating, otherwise you will be called a pig." Zhang Tuohai said on the side.
"No, according to the family's rules for naming dragons, it should be called Alduin." Molly said.
"Does your family have rules for naming dragons? Dragons also have a family tree?" Zhang Tuohai was surprised.
"Of course there are, but this may be the last generation for me." Molly showed a sad look.
"I see." Zhang Tuohai nodded.
"What about this egg? Why hasn't it hatched? Do we need to continue burning it?" Zhang Tuohai asked, pointing at the red egg in the stove.
"These two eggs were placed in the furnace together. It doesn't make sense that one has hatched while the other has not. It is most likely a dead egg. There is no point in continuing to burn it."
Molly said.
"Dead eggs? Can we use them to cook? I haven't eaten dragon eggs yet. How about roasted hairy eggs?"
Zhang Tuohai asked excitedly.
"I don't know. My family always buries dead eggs. We've never eaten them."
This question obviously touched upon Molly's blind spot.
"Don't be so rigid. You should always try."
Zhang Tuohai reached out and took out the red egg from the stove.
Who would have thought that as soon as the red egg touched Zhang Tuohai's hand, it turned into a ball of flame, burned, and then directly sank into Zhang Tuohai's arm and disappeared.
"What happened ? Are you okay?" Yin Lishabai saw the change and rushed to Zhang Tuohai, pulling his arm and asked.
"Wait, shake it gently, let me stroke it." Zhang Tuohai stopped Yin Lishabai from shaking his arm continuously, closed his eyes and slowly analyzed the knowledge that flooded into his mind.
Yin Lizabeth and Molly stood nearby, looking at Zhang Tuohai with concern.
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Tuohai slowly opened his eyes.
"How is it?" Yin Lisha Bai asked worriedly.
"This is not a dragon egg." Zhang Tuohai said helplessly.
"What? This isn't a dragon egg? How is this possible? It clearly looks like a dragon egg."
Molly said in disbelief.
"Although the appearance is very similar, there are still some differences in the details. Didn't you notice that the patterns on the surface of the eggshell are not actually patterns, but flame runes. This is not a dragon egg, but a phoenix egg. This is a seriously injured and sleeping phoenix. It turned into an egg to accumulate strength for nirvana and rebirth."
"It's just that somehow it was discovered, and then it was mistaken for a dragon egg, and was sent to you along with this egg."
"Now, this phoenix has merged with me into one."
Zhang Tuohai explained.
"Will it be dangerous for you? Will your body be taken over and you turn into a phoenix or something?" Yin Lishabai asked worriedly.
"No, that won't happen. This phoenix is too weak. It died due to lack of energy before it was transported here. The egg is gestating a new phoenix. If we must distinguish, this new phoenix should be the offspring of the previous phoenix. It needs the help of my body to grow again. Because we have a symbiotic relationship, it will not hurt me. On the contrary, I will gain some of the phoenix's power."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he opened his hands. In his hands was the shadow of a phoenix, which kept shaking in his hands. At this moment, the phoenix shrank into a ball in Zhang Tuohai's hands, like a little chick.
“So cute.”
Yin Lisha Bai stretched out her finger, trying to poke the phoenix.
Upon seeing this, Phoenix bit Yin Lishabai's finger.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, please let go." Yin Lisha screamed.
