Hearing the sound, the golden giant dragon paused, then slowly turned its head. The surroundings immediately shook as if an earthquake had struck.
It saw a minuscule human holding a stone, facing the giant egg behind it.
Attempting to threaten it!
Even with its immense dragon temperament, the beast was momentarily stunned, not out of fear, but sheer bewilderment.
Although the giant dragon had stopped its actions, Lu Fei dared not slacken in his confrontation. If he hadn't been completely out of options, he wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate tactic. Lu Fei had no confidence in coercing the dragon with such meager means.
He looked at Brother Chicken, shifting his gaze, and Brother Chicken understood.
The momentarily dazed dragon had already loosened its grip, and with a surge of effort, Brother Chicken slipped free from its talons.
Flapping its wings desperately, it finally landed safely!
The giant dragon regained its senses, staring at Lu Fei with a peculiar expression.
The dragon egg’s shell was harder than steel; to threaten it with a stone, were all humans this foolish?
“Human, do you think you can smash a dragon egg with a single stone?” the giant dragon’s voice, like a booming bell, echoed in Lu Fei’s ears.
Lu Fei naturally knew he couldn't smash the dragon egg with a mere stone; the stone he held was not meant for smashing!
“Who told you I was going to smash the egg?” Lu Fei said, feigning composure.
The giant dragon tilted its head slightly, becoming somewhat curious.
Lu Fei continued, “This dragon egg was previously impacted, and the shell at the top has already cracked.” He paused, fixing his gaze on the dragon, “If I were to toss this stone into the opening where the dragon egg is cracked, what do you think would happen?”
The giant dragon suddenly understood, its expression instantly turning grim!
“Human! You dare!” the giant dragon threatened.
“You were about to eat us, so what is there for me not to dare?” Lu Fei retorted.
The giant dragon’s expression immediately contorted into a fierce grimace; it roared in fury!
“ROAR!!!”
The golden giant dragon let out a furious roar!
The sound was like a meteorite striking a calm sea, creating a sudden, earth-shattering ripple.
Layer upon layer, it spread.
A terrifying pressure instantly permeated the hunting ground!
The next moment.
The contracted beasts around the hunting ground, hearing the dragon’s roar, all collapsed to their knees, defecating and urinating uncontrollably!
Some low-strength contracted beasts were directly scared to death!
The terrifying pressure spread to the hunting ground's main hall, causing the ceiling to shake violently.
The beast masters who had come for hunting were startled, an unprecedented fear surging into their hearts, plunging the entire hall into a deathly silence.
At the entrance of the Jade Dragon Hunting Ground.
Zhou Nanfeng, who had just arrived at the hunting ground, suddenly stumbled and fell from his horse. His two “Didi” horses prostrated themselves on the ground, motionless and trembling!
The sound slowly faded.
The area outside the hunting ground erupted, with beast masters fleeing in panic.
On the other side.
Lu Fei and Brother Chicken, situated at the epicenter of the pressure, could only imagine their plight.
Lu Fei stood frozen in horror. While the racial pressure was ineffective against him, the terrifying sonic waves were enough to render him a moron!
Fortunately, Brother Chicken had immediately used its pair of wings to shield his ears, thus averting a tragic fate.
As the sound dissipated, Lu Fei’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.
Unexpectedly.
Brother Chicken was still standing upright!
“Hmm?”
The giant dragon’s gaze was low, filled with confusion. It did not immediately devour these two offending weak creatures.
Because it saw a chicken, no bigger than its finger, gazing back at it from afar, like two evenly matched opponents testing each other before a battle.
The golden giant dragon felt provoked!
It stared intently at the low-species creature before it.
Its voice, deep and resonant, asked, “You… are not afraid of me?”
The dragon roar from before was the pressure exerted by a high-species being onto a low-species being, with no room for reason. My bloodline is stronger than yours, so I am inherently superior!
But what was happening before it made the giant dragon question its very existence.
Facing its pressure, this low-species creature remained completely unfazed!
Brother Chicken seemed not to have heard the golden giant dragon’s question, standing foolishly in place, maintaining its posture of covering Lu Fei’s ears.
Its sharp middle-parted hairstyle had been blown into a slicked-back look by the giant dragon’s voice…
After a long while, it finally came back to its senses.
Brother Chicken’s legs buckled, and it slumped to the ground.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t afraid; it was just that it had prioritized Lu Fei and hadn’t had time to react!
As if losing its patience, the golden giant dragon extended a claw and gently poked Brother Chicken with its fingertip.
Facing absolute power, Brother Chicken had no intention of resisting. It surrendered to the dragon’s will, being casually manipulated and spun on the ground like a top.
After playing for a while.
Brother Chicken looked utterly dejected. “Kill me or skin me as you please; why must you torture Brother Chicken like this…” It felt utterly humiliated.
Suddenly.
The giant dragon stopped playing.
A coughing sound emerged.
Brother Chicken focused its gaze.
It saw the giant dragon clutching its chest, coughing incessantly, spewing out large amounts of blood like rain.
The blood splattered onto Brother Chicken.
The next moment, Brother Chicken suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in its chest. This was the fear of death, the unwillingness to die, the despair of facing death…
This palpitation did not belong to itself!
“Is it her?” Brother Chicken stared intently at the golden giant dragon, which appeared to be fading.
After being stained by the golden giant dragon’s blood, it had somehow developed empathy with it!
Brother Chicken felt an urge to cry. It sensed the sorrow of a hero’s end and suddenly felt some sympathy for the golden giant dragon before it.
It wished it could embrace it and weep aloud.
Unknowingly, hot tears traced a path down its cheeks.
After a long while, Brother Chicken let out a long sigh, trying its best to remain calm.
Under immense pressure, it cautiously asked, “Are… are you going to die?”
The sudden question made the golden giant dragon’s body tremble.
Its eyes, as large as lanterns, narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within.
Brother Chicken, cutting straight to the chase, continued, “If you die, what will happen to this egg?”
Through empathy, Brother Chicken realized the golden giant dragon placed immense importance on the egg behind it, even more so than its own life.
The golden giant dragon’s expression changed abruptly.
With a few words, Brother Chicken had seized the initiative, and its face lit up with joy; it felt like a diplomatic genius!
So, it struck while the iron was hot and continued,
“After you die, we will help you guard this egg, but you must promise not to eat us! How about this deal?”
As soon as the words left its mouth, the dragon roared in fury again!
“Presumptuous! You cunning low-species creature!”
Brother Chicken paused.
It realized it had spoken incorrectly. Lu Fei had just threatened it with the egg; how could the dragon trust it now? Moreover, its current situation was like a fish on a chopping block, with no right to negotiate.
As the atmosphere grew awkward, a voice rang out.
“What if I help you hatch this egg right now?”
