Chapter 1372 It is there, in the bloodline resonance
The moment the rock sphere emerged from the mist, Phoenix and Lelinda couldn't help but scream and roar, transforming into first-tier dragon gods and standing between the rock sphere and the boulder.
The rock sphere, crushed by the Devouring Abyss, was incredibly solid and seamless, many times harder than any other floating object in the void. It easily crushed the rocks in front of it and absorbed them onto its body, making them a part of itself.
As this rock sphere rolled along, it absorbed an unknown amount of matter, increasing its volume to over a hundred kilometers in diameter.
The boulder containing the dragon egg was crushed into fragments, which also crushed the Phoenix couple, who were blocking the way, into the rubble. The fragments were scattered across the surface of the rock sphere, making the rock sphere slightly thicker.
Even a first-tier dragon god was no match for such a behemoth, but they were not seriously injured. After rolling around in the rubble a few times, they frantically jumped up and started searching for the dragon egg.
Before hatching, the young dragons are very fragile. They are susceptible to both cold and heat, and even a small crack in the eggshell will cause them to collapse. If a rock ball were to roll over them like that, the space where the dragon egg was located would definitely collapse. Even an iron egg couldn't withstand the impact of hundreds of thousands of tons of boulders crashing together.
Why would such a large rock sphere suddenly appear in the silent Dead Sea, which has remained largely unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years?
The two dragonmen roared in despair, but their hands dared not stop digging and shoving, clinging to that sliver of hope that the dragon egg might be stuck between a few boulders and not crushed.
The power of a first-tier dragon god is immense. When Ang transformed into a first-tier dragon god, he was invincible across the planes. However, under the immense power of heaven and earth, he seemed helpless. Each stone weighed tens of tons. Although they could not be crushed to death, it was not easy to dig the stones up.
Exhausted and panting, the two dragonmen finally dug up the location of the dragon egg. Upon seeing the dragon egg, Leilinda's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
The originally oval-shaped dragon egg is now cracked with countless fissures, several pieces of the shell have fallen off, and the whole egg is flattened in half. Under these circumstances, the baby dragon inside will be paralyzed even if it doesn't die.
This is not a metaphor, because when a baby dragon is inside the egg, its main nervous system is attached to the inner wall of the egg and is only taken into its body before hatching. As a result, if the egg breaks, it will damage the main nervous system, leading to paralysis or turning into a plant dragon. This situation is commonly known as "egg stuck".
The dragon race of the prime plane had been researching this problem for hundreds of thousands of years, until they encountered Ang and finally solved it.
Many dragons have wondered why dragon eggs have such a fatal flaw, but after careful research, they discovered that it is not a flaw, but rather an advantage.
The main nerve is attached to the inner wall of the eggshell, so young dragons can already sense their surroundings while still in the egg stage, such as being hugged, touched, hearing sounds, sensing elements, and feeling space...
In other words, a dragon's cultivation begins with its egg. By the time it hatches, it has already laid a solid foundation, so even if it just eats and sleeps all day, it can still become a powerful being.
In particular, the Time Dragon, Sky Dragon, and Prophet Dragon, these ancient dragons had a very clear perception of time, space, and the future while they were in their eggs, but this perception became much duller after they hatched.
However, whether it was a flaw or a strength, the broken eggshell was a problem. Lelinda instantly lost all her strength and was filled with despair.
Phoenix was still not giving up, muttering, "There's still hope, there's still hope. There's no egg matter, no egg matter, maybe the chicks have already hatched."
Phoenix's words rekindled Lelinda's hope. She struggled to her feet, stumbled to the dragon egg, and carefully peeled open the shell to reveal what was underneath.
The thing inside smiled at Lelinda and made a cute sound: "Mommy... Mommy..."
But instead of the joy of seeing her child alive, Lelinda let out a scream and bounced back even faster, as if she had been electrocuted.
It was a fleshy lump with sixteen thin branches. The lump had a ring of tiny eyes on its face and a large mouth in the middle. When it grinned at you, its mouth was full of tiny, wriggling roots.
This is something that would make any creature with normal aesthetic sense feel physically uncomfortable, and it has absolutely nothing to do with a baby dragon. No matter how cute its voice is, it cannot evoke even the slightest bit of paternal affection in Lelinda.
……
Beyond the mist, Lelinda and Phoenix stood dejectedly before Negris and Anthony, occasionally glancing at Ang behind them, as they recounted the events and their outcome: "That's how it happened."
“Where is that thing?” Negris asked.
“It’s still in the same place. We don’t dare look at it, and we can’t bear to kill it, so we have to leave it there,” Phoenix said.
Negris asked, "You say it's a huge sphere? How big is it? Ang, is it our sphere? Call the Tree Shepherd."
Ang nodded, and after a moment said, "We caught him."
Upon hearing this, Lelinda and Phoenix exchanged a glance and tentatively asked, "Is that something from the ancestral dragon god?"
Negris nodded: "The little toy you used to sweep the floor has damaged your house. I'm sorry. What are you going to do about it?"
“I…” Lelinda hesitated and looked at Ang, wanting to say something, but couldn’t get the words out.
Negris and Anthony looked up at the sky in perfect unison.
Phoenix tugged at Lelena and said, "We want to go to the Time-Space Realm to pray for the protection of the ancestral dragon god."
“Go, hand over the soul oath first,” Negris said hastily. Once Ang accepted their oath fire, he would throw them into the spacetime realm.
After throwing them in, Negris said, "These two are obsessed. They should have known what was going on when the dragon egg grew vines, yet they still held onto hope until now."
Anthony sighed, "There's no way around it. It's the instinct of living beings to protect their offspring in every possible way, even at the cost of their own lives. Species without this instinct wouldn't have survived to this day; they would have gone extinct long ago in the process of abandoning their offspring."
“But this nature is too strong, it’s made the dragon stupid. Did that female dragon eventually hope we would spare her child? But that one wasn’t her child,” Negris said.
Anthony sighed. If every living being could maintain its rationality, the world would have been destroyed long ago. Not wanting to say anything more, Anthony changed the subject: "Let's go take a look and see what these sixteen-legged things actually look like."
When Ang and the others moved their souls onto the rock sphere, they immediately saw the thing whose legs had been smashed off by the Void Treant with a stone. This thing was no longer as obedient as it had been in front of Leilinda. Instead, it stared blankly at the Treant, lying flat on the ground, letting the Treant smash its legs.
Sensing the arrival of Ang and his group, the thing turned its head, and upon seeing Ang, its dozen or so small eyes stared at him, then its body swelled up.
Ang suddenly said, "It's there, in the bloodline resonance."
