Chapter 12 Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Cub
The instant Ying Chen's hand touched the mysterious giant egg, a tremendous suction force suddenly surged forth from it...
Ying Chen's expression changed, and he tried to pull his hand away, but the suction force held his hand firmly, and he couldn't pull it off at all...
"Your Highness!"
Guo Jia and Zhao Yun's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. They wanted to rush forward to help Ying Chen, but the giant egg unleashed an invisible force that pushed the two back dozens of feet...
He wanted to move forward, but he couldn't get any closer...
They could only watch helplessly and anxiously...
Meanwhile, Ying Chen felt his spiritual energy, purified by the Eternal God Emperor Technique, surging wildly into the giant egg like a tidal wave, completely beyond his control...
His face quickly turned deathly pale...
The massive loss of spiritual energy was almost unbearable, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator like him...
Finally, just as his spiritual energy was about to run out, the suction force disappeared, and he was able to pull his hand off the giant egg...
"Hoohoo~~"
Ying Chen, panting heavily, looked at the mysterious giant egg with a wary expression...
I almost died here. I must never be so reckless again...
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Zhao Yun and Guo Jia came up and looked at Ying Chen with concern.
"No problem!"
Ying Chen shook his head and said.
Snap～～
Just as the three were speaking, a soft cracking sound rang out.
The three looked toward the source of the sound, and saw that cracks had appeared on the giant egg...
"Your Highness, step back! That mysterious creature is about to hatch..."
Zhao Yun and Guo Jia once again stood in front of Ying Chen, their expressions grave.
They had already witnessed the power of this mysterious creature. Even before it hatched, it could prevent two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from getting close. Who knew how powerful it would be after it hatched...
Ying Chen's expression was also solemn as he stared intently at the mysterious giant egg...
Snap～～
A moment later, a hole the size of a human head appeared on the top of the giant egg, and a silly-looking little creature poked its head out, secretly watching what was happening outside...
Upon seeing Ying Chen and the other two, a look of joy appeared on his face...
"Ow!"
It let out a joyful howl, flew out of the egg, and flew towards the three of them...
Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were on high alert, fully prepared for battle...
Ying Chen looked at the mysterious creature, and for some reason, he felt that the creature looked somewhat familiar...
It has golden scales, a slender body, four claws resembling eagle claws on its belly, each claw with five sharp toes, and two miniature antlers on its head...
"This...isn't this a dragon?"
Ying Chen said with a surprised expression.
He finally understood why this creature felt so familiar: it was the totem of his country in his previous life—the dragon, and the most noble of all dragons, the five-clawed golden dragon...
The five-clawed golden dragon cub came to the three of them, went straight to Ying Chen, and happily circled around him...
And she affectionately nuzzled Yingchen's face with her head...
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest: investigating and resolving the cause of the spiritual energy depletion in Liangzhou. Rewards have been issued; please check your account..."
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in Ying Chen's mind.
Ying Chen was completely bewildered. "Completed the mission? When did I complete the mission?"
Then Ying Chen's gaze fell upon the five-clawed golden dragon cubs surrounding him. Could it be...?
A terrifying thought crossed his mind...
"Ouch~~"
Seemingly sensing Ying Chen's gaze, the five-clawed golden dragon cub let out a joyful cry.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could something so small possibly drain the spiritual energy of the entire Liangzhou to the point of depletion...?
"System, are you kidding me?"
Ying Chen questioned in his mind.
"Ding! As a legendary divine beast, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon requires an enormous amount of energy to hatch. If it weren't for the fact that the host's Eternal Divine Emperor Technique possesses spiritual power a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, and at an extremely high level, it would probably take ten thousand years for the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon to hatch..."
The system explained.
"Hiss... is this terrifying?"
Ying Chen gasped.
Just then, Ying Chen suddenly felt an itch on his face. He quickly logged out of the system and saw the five-clawed golden dragon cub sticking out its pink little tongue, licking his face...
"You want to make a contract with me?"
Ying Chen looked at the five-clawed golden dragon cub and asked in confusion.
The five-clawed golden dragon cub nodded frantically, and then a complex magic circle appeared on its forehead...
Ying Chen instantly understood what this meant. This was a magic circle for forming a contract; simply touching his forehead to it would allow him to form a contract...
Without hesitation, Ying Chen immediately leaned his forehead against hers.
Buzz~~
A strange feeling spread through his body, and he instantly felt a connection between himself and the five-clawed golden dragon cub...
"Hungry...eat..."
A childish voice appeared in his mind. Ying Chen looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the five-clawed golden dragon cub in front of him...
"Is it you who's talking?"
The five-clawed golden dragon cub nodded.
"Hungry...eat..."
The same words came to his mind again.
Ying Chen was at a loss. What should a five-clawed golden dragon eat? He had absolutely no idea!
"Spiritual...power..."
As if sensing Ying Chen's concerns, another voice appeared.
"You want to consume spiritual energy?"
The five-clawed golden dragon cub nodded, looking at him pitifully.
Ying Chen immediately mobilized the limited spiritual energy within his body, gathering it on his right index finger...
It reached out to the five-clawed golden dragon cub.
The five-clawed golden dragon cub was overjoyed and quickly put Ying Chen's index finger in its mouth, happily munching on it...
"His~~"
Ying Chen immediately felt he couldn't take it anymore; this guy was eating way too much!
It hasn't been that long, yet it's completely drained his meager spiritual energy. He doesn't have a single drop of spiritual energy left in his body...
The five-clawed golden dragon cub reluctantly released Ying Chen's index finger, as if it hadn't had enough to eat!
"I'll give it to you after I recover my spiritual power!"
Seeing its appearance, Ying Chen's heart softened, and he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the five-clawed golden dragon cub began to slowly dance and finally landed on Ying Chen's shoulder.
From now on, you'll be called Xiao Jin!
Ying Chen gently stroked Xiao Jin's chin, and Xiao Jin comfortably raised its head, making a soft humming sound.
