Chapter 12 Fertilization
Chapter 12 Fertilization
True dragons are creatures of extraordinary endurance. Their hearts appear to have four atria like humans, but their myocardial muscles are incredibly developed. Legend has it that even if a stone were inserted into one, it would be instantly crushed into dust by the force of its contraction.
At the same time, all the blood pumped from the heart flows through a peculiar gland called the basal vessel, an organ that infuses activated magical elements into the blood, thereby greatly enhancing the physical performance of dragons.
The three baby dragons ran for nearly two hours before stopping, slightly out of breath.
At this moment, the muddy hills had long since disappeared from view. Looking around, all that could be seen was a vast and boundless plain. The green grasses rippled and undulated in the night wind, like endless waves. Scattered trees rose from the ground, interspersed with low shrubs and thorns.
Unidentified insects chirped and sang in the grass, and the various noises mingled together, yet inexplicably gave people a sense of tranquility.
Thor wasn't sure how far he had run, but he estimated it to be several tens or even hundreds of kilometers.
Sistana and Kalp, whose physiques were not as strong as his, couldn't help but stick out their tongues, looking exhausted.
"Let's...let's stop for a while! It should be safe here now."
"Yes, I'm so hungry..."
A vague sense of unease still lingered in Thor's heart. He glanced back at his two foolish younger brothers and sisters, but had no intention of continuing to run.
After a short rest, the three baby dragons took advantage of the cover of night to begin searching for prey in their surroundings.
The unfamiliar environment made them too afraid to take off; after all, their red scales were quite eye-catching even under the starlight.
Relying solely on their sense of smell, hearing, and sight to hunt greatly reduced their success rate, and it took them more than an hour to catch just two rabbits.
This time, Saul did not eat it alone. Instead, under the shocked gazes of Sistana and Kalp, he divided the rabbit meat into three equal portions.
After all, spiritual essence is undoubtedly more important than this bit of meat.
If these two baby dragons are kept hungry, not only will they be unable to maintain their high spirits, but they might also become a hindrance in the event of an emergency.
After Thor swallowed his portion of rabbit meat, skin and bones included, he recalled the giant roulette wheel in his mind and lightly tapped the Dragon Crystal column.
The balance behind the mental energy essence immediately dropped from 8.14 to 7.14, and a long, rectangular crystal, slightly smaller than a mineral water bottle, also appeared in the air.
For Thor, that little bit of rabbit meat was just a snack to pass the time; this was his real staple food.
The active energy fluctuations on the crystal caught the attention of Sistana and Kalp. They turned their heads, and their pale golden pupils turned crimson the moment they saw the dragon crystal.
"This is... a magic crystal! Where did you find it?!"
"Damn Thor, you secretly took Daenerys's treasure behind our backs."
As they spoke, the scales on the two baby dragons burst open, their backs arched high, as if they were about to fight over it at the slightest provocation.
Although they knew in their hearts that even if the two dragons joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for Thor, the greed flowing in their dragon blood temporarily clouded their reason.
Thor glanced at the two idiots, a sinister grin spreading across his face.
He slammed the dragon crystal on his claws against the stone on the ground. With a crisp "crack," the dragon crystal instantly turned into fragments of varying sizes scattered on the ground.
"No!!!"
How could you do this?!
Sistana and Kalp let out a bloodcurdling scream upon seeing this.
True dragons are born with a magical ability called valuation, which allows them to instinctively estimate the value of various precious metals, ores, as well as handicrafts and equipment.
The value of the magic crystal they didn't recognize plummeted the moment it shattered.
Although this was not their own wealth, such a wasteful act still caused them a pang of heartache.
Immediately afterwards, a surge of intense anger welled up inside him, turning into fury towards Thor.
Faced with two baby dragons pouncing at him, Thor simply leaped to the side and dodged their bites.
Then, he reached forward with his claws, precisely grabbed Sistana's hind leg, and flipped her over, throwing her heavily onto Kalp.
The whole process took no more than three seconds. The two fledglings went from pouncing aggressively to rolling around on the ground in a sorry state.
Thor leisurely picked up the dragon crystal fragments from the ground, stuffing most of them into his mouth, leaving only two pieces to hold between his claws, and said:
"If you kneel down and beg me, I will take pity on you and give you a piece."
Sistana and Culp, who had just gotten up from the ground, glared fiercely at Thor and refused without even thinking:
"You're dreaming!!"
"The dignity of the Red Dragon must not be desecrated!!"
Thor slightly raised his eyelids, gave a playful "Oh," and said again:
"Are you sure? Whoever kneels down first gets the big piece."
As soon as he finished speaking, two muffled thuds came from ahead. The two fledglings seemed to be pressed down by an invisible weight, and they lay prostrate on the ground.
Then, they turned and glared at each other fiercely, shouting in unison:
"I knelt down first, so the bigger piece should be mine!" x2.
Such shameless behavior made Thor's lips twitch involuntarily.
But you can't blame the two fledglings for kneeling so quickly. After all, they had been beaten down by Thor countless times in the past, and it had become a habit.
This put Thor in a bit of a predicament, as he hadn't even noticed which of the young dragons had knelt down first.
But it doesn't matter! The final decision is still in my hands. I casually pointed at Sistana with my paw and said:
"Sistana was quicker; it seems she has more respect for me, her brother, and gave her the bigger piece."
"Wait! This isn't fair! I was clearly faster."
Culp was clearly dissatisfied with the result and started shouting loudly.
Thor completely ignored it, walked over to Sistana, looked her in the eyes, and said:
"Now, let's eat it!"
"Eat? Eat what?"
Sistana was clearly taken aback for a moment, and when she realized that Thor was referring to the magic crystal, she was taken aback.
"This is my treasure, I'm not going to eat it!"
"That's not up to you!"
Before she could react, Thor swiftly shoved a fragment of dragon crystal into her throat, then pressed down on her mouth and shook it up and down, preventing her from spitting it out.
This was experience he gained from feeding dogs medicine in his previous life.
While a true dragon can temporarily store treasure in its stomach and then regurgitate it intact after a period of time, a young dragon has clearly not yet mastered this skill.
As she felt the magic crystal slide down her throat and into her stomach, tears of heartache and humiliation welled up in Sistana's eyes.
After dealing with his foolish sister, Thor turned his gaze to Culp, revealing a smile that he found utterly sinister.
"So, are you going to eat it yourself, or should I help you?"
