Chapter 1280 Hatching (the weather is hot, sleepy and depressing)
Duanmu Huai is very interested in the Aether Dragon, but the reason is not because of its combat effectiveness.
Although in the game, the Aether Dragon is indeed very powerful in combat, but as shown before, the Aether Dragon has no shield and relies solely on armor resistance, and it is really difficult to survive when it reaches its structure. There are also some players in the game who obtained Ether Dragon larvae by chance, but they were basically killed by other guilds looking for opportunities.
After all, the Ether Dragon is just difficult to kill, but it is not unkillable. Therefore, taking the Ether Dragon to the battlefield is purely to survive. Only rich people will not do such a thing.
Based on the strength of the Tribunal fleet, the Ether Dragon can only be said to be better, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have one. In terms of firepower, although the Ether Dragon is stronger than an ordinary battleship, it only has one head, while the battleship Duanmu Huai only has one. You can build hundreds of ships with random 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 simple, that is, the ether dragon has a characteristic.
They are very sensitive to relics.
Just like in a fantasy world, giant dragons always like to collect treasures, but few people think about how the dragon knows where the treasures are.
According to Gulea, the dragons in Manalia are mainly distinguished by their magic power. After all, if an item has a lot of magic power, it must be a good thing. You can just take it home without explaining it.
But the ability of the ether dragon is even higher. It can sense the relics hidden by civilizations in the universe, including some treasures left by extinct civilizations.
As for how the ether dragon distinguishes these relics, players are not sure, because these relics not only contain magic props, but also many high-tech gadgets, the latter of which have no magical aura. So at least the ether dragon will definitely not lock these relics through magic.
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 too convenient to use the ether dragon to search for hidden relics in the universe. You must know that the relics left over from many civilizations in the galaxy are each more powerful than the last. As long as a player obtains some relics in the game, he will immediately become the master, and his strength will increase exponentially.
As for many relics, Duanmu Huai does not know their specific location, but if he can master such an ether dragon, it will be much more convenient to search for relics and relics in the future.
But for Duanmuhuai, this is also a problem.
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, but this one was not even a juvenile ether dragon, 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.
"Good guy, when this thing hatches, the world will be shattered."
Standing on the ground, looking at the dragon eggs in the distance, Duanmu Huai was also speechless. If the auspicious device hadn't detected the life response of a larva inside, no one standing on the ground would have thought it was a dragon egg, but would have thought it was a mountain.
"Is such a big one just a dragon egg?"
It was rare for Gu Leya to come with Duanmu Huai, and she was stunned when she saw this place.
"How much does it need to eat after it hatches? There doesn't seem to be that much food on this planet."
"The Ether Dragon survives by devouring energy. If it relies on eating food, there are not enough lives on the planet for it to eat. Of course, if it wants to eat, it doesn't mean it can't eat."
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and explained silently.
By the way, the current environment of the Dragon Nest Planet is very harsh, and there is basically no life. This is a planet very close to the star. The entire surface has no atmosphere and is completely illuminated by the brilliance of the star. It is this kind of environment that is suitable for the incubation of dragon eggs. After all, dragon eggs require a lot of energy to hatch. Placing 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 relatively long.
Duanmu Huai and others would not dare to stand here if they were not wearing space armor.
"So how are we going to hatch this little baby?"
An also came over curiously and stared at the dragon egg in the distance.
"I'll try."
Duanmuhuai moved his body and made a decision. His system allows you to collect some things as pets. For example, the girl monsters in the duel city world, such as rabbits and maids, as well as the real heroes are all classified into the "pet" category. Duanmu Huai thinks that this ether dragon should be similar. Of course, the specific situation can only be determined after it is activated.
"You guys go back to the battleship first. Also, don't touch 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 what the ether dragon collects these things for. It's not like the dragon in the fantasy world who can sleep on a pile of gold coins. With the size of an etheric dragon, if you lay down on the ground, all relics would be crushed to pieces.
After giving the instructions, Duanmu Huai jumped up and flew towards the dragon egg.
Most of this dragon egg is covered by high-temperature magma, and the remaining part is exposed to scorching sunlight. To use a human analogy, this is like soaking in a hot spring and sunbathing at the same time. Of course, ordinary people would definitely not do this, but the Ether Dragon... is a Leviathan-level existence after all, so it still has this ability.
"Boom!"
Duanmuhuai crossed the sea of magma and landed heavily on the dragon egg. The entire dragon egg remained motionless, but Duanmuhuai could feel a slow and powerful heartbeat sounding inside the thick shell under his feet.
"Well... Anyway, give it a try first."
Duanmu Huai muttered, then stretched out his hand to press the dragon egg shell. Sure enough, a line of prompt information was soon detected on Duan Muhuai's system panel.
[Ether dragon egg detected (hatching): progress 25%]
The progress is a bit low. When will it be hatched?
Duanmuhuai frowned, and then clicked on the dragon egg's information bar. Sure enough, there was a [tamable] prompt under the information bar.
Then do it.
Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands, then stretched out his hand again and placed it on the surface of the eggshell. He wants to use his divine power to inject this dragon egg to speed up the hatching of the etheric dragon. In Duanmuhuai's current priesthood, the power of the God of Destruction is overflowing. Although Duanmuhuai feels that injecting the power of the God of Destruction into the ether dragon egg may not have any good results, he has nothing to do.
After all, the impact of the other three priesthoods is more terrifying. In comparison, the power of the God of Destruction is the easiest to accept. If the other three are to be injected into it, we still don't know what the ether dragon larvae will look like.
Hey, Duanmu Huai also wants a priesthood such as God of Life or God of Holy Light, doesn't he?
It's a pity...the horoscopes don't match, so there's nothing we can do.
For Duanmu Huai, it does not take much effort to inject divine power into such a dragon egg. Although the ether dragon is large, for Duanmu Huai, as a god, he can use this level of power at will. .
After all, if it hadn't been for the Inquisition fleet to gain experience at that time, Duanmu Huai could have easily killed the incoming ether dragon with one hand. Then in turn, dealing with a dragon egg will naturally be easier.
Under Duanmu Huai's divine power, as expected, the dragon egg hatching progress displayed in the system interface soon began to increase rapidly. In just 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 prompted another prompt.
[The ether dragon larvae is about to hatch. Should you adopt the ether dragon larvae as a pet? 】
Isn't this nonsense? If I don't accept it, why should I waste my divine power?
Duanmuhuai silently nodded [Yes].
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. The thick eggshells fell off, and then, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the ground!
That is the juvenile body of the Ether Dragon!
I don't know if it was affected by Duanmu Huai's infusion of divine power, but the appearance of this ether dragon larvae is somewhat different from that of the ether dragon. For example, there are three pairs of six eyes on both sides of its head, unlike the ether dragon that has densely packed pairs of compound eyes on both sides like trypophobia.
In addition, its wings are the same as those of the Ether Dragon. They are insect-like transparent thin wings on both sides of the body. Its long body spreads out in the air like a giant snake - how should I put it? It gives people the feeling It's like the half-transformed form of a carp leaping over the dragon gate and transforming into a dragon. With the dual characteristics of a giant dragon and a fish, it looks quite terrifying and frightening.
Of course, what’s even weirder is its color scheme.
The entire etheric dragon is completely black, but its eyes and wings are shining bright red. When it raises its head, looks to the sky, and lets out a deafening roar and breath, it feels like a ferocious beast has been born. , is about to destroy the world and bring all things into a state of death and silence.
Well, if Duanmu Huai hadn't heard the "嘤嘤嘤嘤" cry from the other party's young mind through the spiritual link, he would have thought that this was the arrival of some world-destroying monster.
"This is really......"
Duanmuhuai floated in the air, silently looking at the ether dragon larvae in front of him who was having fun but looked like it was about to destroy the planet, with a speechless face.
How to say it…………
This is fate, accept it.
