Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 318 Dragon Egg?

The dog's words make a lot of sense.

Yun Ce's act of destroying the landslide dam was clearly disturbing the dragon's sleep.

Compared to a Azure Dragon that has a bad temper when it wakes up but can still travel in space in its physical form, a newly promoted Grandmaster might just be a praying mantis blocking the way in front of a carriage.
Anyway, no matter what it is, it will all end up being crushed into pieces by the wheels of a car.

The praying mantis could become the dragon's tool for venting its anger, but an ant is out of the question.

The dragon is gone and probably won't come back. It's the kind of creature that comes and goes without a trace. Ordinary people might not see a dragon even once in several lifetimes. Yun Ce felt that he had come into contact with dragons far too often.

The Mountain Moving Clan says that even dragons favor the Guifang people, and judging from the location where this dragon appeared, what they say should be true.

"Then why is the dragon staying here?"

After regaining his composure, Yun Ce finally remembered an important question.

"Yes, the phoenix will not land where there is no treasure, and it will not perch on anything but the parasol tree. The dragon should be the same, right?"

The dog resolutely stretched out its tentacles, pointing firmly to the spot where the dragon had just appeared.

That place is now a mud pit.

Yun Ce felt it was best to go and see for himself. However, before he started, he suddenly said to Gouzi, "Don't change my status without going through me in the future."

The dog said, "I won't hurt you."

Yun Ce said, "It has nothing to do with whether it harms me or not. I just want to take control of my own body and destiny."

Even if it's wrong sometimes?

"Yes, even if it's wrong, Dog, you should understand that people sometimes do irrational things, but it is precisely these irrational choices that are the greatest shining points of a person."

If all of a person's actions are measured by the achievement of a tangible goal, I really don't want that kind of life.

If I liked this kind of life, I would have stayed on Earth; there would be no need for me to come here.

Is this the self-destructive tendency unique to humans?

"It is a kind of stubbornness that comes from the sublimation of thought and the personal will overcoming death."

"It's still self-destruction, isn't it? Life is what the will is attached to; if the skin is gone, where will the hair attach?"

"Maybe we think fur is more important than fur."

"I cannot understand your disrespect for life."

With a few leaps, Yun Ce stepped on the muddy rocks and arrived near the mud pit. After exploring for a while, Gouzi said to Yun Ce, "This is where Qinglong does bad things."

"What bad thing?"

"Dragons are inherently lewd."

Yun Ce was taken aback for a moment and said, "This time, it's that kind of wild beast that's unlucky?"

The dog's tentacles suddenly grew larger and thicker, with a huge hook appearing at the top. The other tentacles were firmly attached to the boulder, but the huge tentacle was stuck in the mud.

A moment later, a huge head of a Chinese ceremonial bird was pulled out of the mud by the dog. Yun Ce glanced at the irregular stubble on the Chinese ceremonial bird's neck and said, "This is where the Azure Dragon feeds."

Dog dropped the thousand-pound Xintianyou head and once again probed his tentacles into the mud. This time, he pulled out an egg from the pit. The egg looked to weigh a full three hundred pounds. The shell was blue, similar to the color of the blue dragon, but its surface had a faint shimmering light.

The dog placed the egg on the boulder and said to Yun Ce, "Dragon egg, that albatross should be the father."

"You mean, the green dragon laid an egg and then ate its lover, the Chinese folk singer?"

"Many female beasts have this habit, I didn't expect dragons to be like this too."

"I remember that Xintianyou doesn't have a penis."

"Birds basically don't have penises, and even if they do, they're not used for sex."

"So, the one that flew away just now was a female dragon. Doesn't it need to incubate its eggs?"

"I don't think so. Didn't you see that dragon create another barrier lake? It looks like it's using water to hide the eggs; that's how it incubates them." "I heard that, but it's just hearsay. Are you sure what I'm saying is true..."

"I know what you're going to say. Think it over first. Do you really want to steal this dragon egg? Also, I've heard that what you're thinking of is only suitable for ordinary birds and beasts. This is a dragon, the most powerful being in the world. What if it knows it's a dragon as soon as it's born?"
Furthermore, even if it's a newly hatched dragon, are you sure you can defeat it?

Yun Ce swallowed hard, rubbing his hands together as he stared at the dragon egg in front of him. He was having a hard time making a decision. Suddenly, he remembered the dragon eggshell that Ao Bing had fed him when they parted, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The dog trembled as it asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yun Ce used all his strength to punch the top of the dragon egg. The dragon egg made a 'hum' sound, but its surface was unharmed. Yun Ce exerted his strength again, and amidst the dragon's terrified scream, he punched the eggshell again. This time, the shimmering light on the surface of the eggshell trembled once more, rendering Yun Ce's thunderous punch useless again.

So Yun Ce took out his usual meteor hammer from Dragon Ball and swung it around in a wide arc. The hammer seemed to hit a huge piece of rubber, and the hammerhead bounced high into the air. This time, although it didn't have much effect, the dragon egg emitted a long buzzing sound.

The dog immediately said, "Run! Run! If we attract the dragon, it will turn us all to dust."

Without hesitation, Yun Ce swung his hammer again. Then, the two heads of the meteor hammer rained down on the dragon egg. He refused to believe that as long as he burned off the energy the dragon had applied to the eggshell, he would be able to open the egg.

After striking the dragon eggshell with all its might a hundred or so hammer blows, the eggshell remained completely undamaged.

Panting, Yun Ce held the dragon egg and stroked it all over. After stroking it, he was certain that his hundred or so hammer blows had indeed been in vain.

"How about we try using Shehuo?" Gouzi suggested to Yun Ce, his heart pounding with fear.

Yun Ce immediately summoned Shehuo Grandpa from the Dragon Ball. Indeed, ever since Shehuo underwent its last mutation, it had become somewhat like an old man; it wouldn't come out unless begged.

As soon as Shehuo left the Dragon Ball, before Yun Ce could say anything, it pounced on the dragon egg and transformed into a ball of golden flame that enveloped the egg.

Just as Yun Ce was about to see the effect, the dragon egg rolled off the boulder, carrying the firecrackers across the shallow water, and rolled straight toward the landslide dam.

Fortunately, the dragon egg rolled not too fast, and Yun Ce and Gouzi followed closely behind. The dragon egg crashed into the dam, rolled down from a height, and then stopped moving.

The firework still tightly enveloped the dragon egg. Yun Ce caught up and touched the egg with his hand. It was incredibly hot. If the firework had a little more time, it might have been cooked. Yun Ce swung his meteor hammer down again. This time, he finally heard the "crackling" sound of the eggshell breaking.

Sure enough, a crack appeared at the top of the eggshell, and a beam of azure light shot up from the crack, piercing the white clouds overhead, and then soared upwards, merging with the azure sky.

"Hurry up, old man, please hurry up, this time that young female dragon will really come back."

Yun Ce wanted to pick up the dragon egg and put it into the Dragon Pearl, but Gouzi stopped him. Six tentacles quickly burrowed into the crack, and in an instant, there was no contents inside the dragon egg. At the same time, the dragon egg shell shattered under the work of Gouzi's tentacles, turning into palm-sized pieces of egg. Gouzi also collected them. Then, without summoning Shehuo outside, he jumped into the Dragon Pearl first and disappeared without a sound.

The folk performance bounced twice outside before jumping into the dragon ball.

At this moment, Yun Ce was already running north along the canyon at top speed.

After speeding for an hour, looking back at the place, it was shrouded in dark clouds and filled with lightning and thunder.

At the same time, a thunderous roar came from behind him. Judging from the sound, it seemed as if a thousand troops were chasing him. Yun Ce was terrified and accelerated his run again.

Although he ran very fast, he couldn't outrun several birds in the sky. These birds, though small in size, had bodies that were highly aerodynamic, and they whizzed past his head. Judging from the way they flapped their wings so quickly, they must have been using all their strength.

One of the dog's tentacles quietly peeked out from the Dragon Ball. The tentacle transformed into a delicate little slingshot, which shot out a few times before quickly retracting back into the Dragon Ball.

Yun Ce was running for his life and didn't notice the dog's little movements at all. It wasn't that he had lost his vigilance, but rather that the hairs on his body stood on end again.

“┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~”

The landslide dammed lake, which Yun Ce had just left not long ago, was now completely destroyed. The mud at the bottom of the landslide dammed lake was swept away by the huge tail of the Azure Dragon and flew into the distance. The Azure Dragon did not see the dragon egg buried in the mud. It wrapped its huge body around a stone pillar and roared angrily at the sky.

The white clouds in the sky were instantly blown away, and at the same time, moisture rose from the ground, and dark clouds appeared in an instant, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Even lightning and thunder were not enough to suppress the mournful dragon roar.

The massive stone pillar was torn to pieces by the Azure Dragon. Enraged, the Azure Dragon straightened its body and slammed its head against the cliff on its left. The cliff cracked, and a large hole appeared in the cliff face. Then the earth began to tremble again, and a huge dragon head rose from the ground. It was no longer angry, but looked suspiciously in the direction Yun Ce had fled.

More and more birds flew over Yun Ce's head, and after leaving the canyon, they flew desperately into the distance. During this time, Gouzi's tentacles appeared countless times, each time in the form of a slingshot. It was unknown what he was launching.

At the end of the canyon was another cliff, and in front of the cliff was a city that had been completely destroyed. It was clear that the city had been flooded.

Moreover, the water must have come from the sky. Only by pouring a large amount of water over people's heads could the current tragic state of only a few broken walls and ruins have been created.

This must have been after the landslide dam broke, when a massive amount of water rushed down the canyon, was thrown high into the air by the cliff, and finally crashed into this city built against the mountain.

Yun Ce didn't care about any of that. After jumping off the cliff, he ran frantically to the left under Gouzi's command.
