Chapter 405: Egg-laying, and being fed!
The Ice Curse Dragon flew off towards the even more northern direction. This place was originally the barren outskirts of the New Continent, with nothing particularly interesting around.
Jie Jie flapped his wings and returned to the Gathering Demon Land with Nana, while the Silver Fire Dragon flapped its wings and left the team as if remembering some important matter.
And when it came to the Gathering Demon Land, one couldn’t help but mention the mobile grain warehouse that could only be found there – the Měng Niú Lóng!
After searching for various footprints, they finally found a Měng Niú Lóng in the Coral Land area that was currently modifying its environment.
This place was identical to the Coral Land Plateau, both composed of coral that had completed terrestrial adaptation.
Massive coral rocks were being transported by the Měng Niú Lóng to demarcate its territory. At this moment, it was throwing boulders at the Dazzle Birds to drive other monsters out of its territory.
The photographer didn’t give the Měng Niú Lóng any special treatment; they simply flashed their camera right after raising their head, then strutted confidently out of the Měng Niú Lóng’s territory.
It will walk on its own, but you cannot rush it!
Only when the Měng Niú Lóng was about to recover did the Dazzle Birds hastily increase their speed and escape from its line of sight.
“Grunt.”
Jie Jie seemed to hear Nana’s grumbling sound of swallowing saliva, raising an eyebrow with a somewhat playful gaze.
Realizing the teasing in his eyes, Nana straightened her body, held her head high, and indicated that she was ready for the attack.
“Let’s go.”
Two Sunfire Dragons sprinted out of the ambush area, surrounding the Měng Niú Lóng from both sides. To avoid affecting the subsequent barbecue temperature, neither would use dust or flames, adding a bit of difficulty to the hunt.
The Měng Niú Lóng’s small eyes on both sides flickered momentarily, instantly confirming the number of enemies. It judged the size of the two Ancient Dragons and chose to break through from the direction where the Flame Empress Dragon was located.
The massive coral rock propped up by its antlers was swung, rolling towards the Flame Empress Dragon.
As Nana dodged the coral rock and closed the distance with a side jump, she then performed a flying pounce onto the side of the Měng Niú Lóng.
Unfortunately, the tangled fur of the Měng Niú Lóng, combined with the armor plates underneath, had considerable strength. Even the Sunfire Dragon’s steel claws couldn’t tear it open without flame attachment.
Jie Jie’s situation was slightly better; he directly tore open the side chest of the Měng Niú Lóng.
The intense pain made the Měng Niú Lóng instantly red-eyed, switching its hatred. Its massive body dragged the two Sunfire Dragons violently, trying to knock them down.
Jie Jie stopped attacking the Měng Niú Lóng’s body and focused instead on guiding its attacks, exposing more vulnerabilities to Nana.
As the Měng Niú Lóng turned around, Nana also reached the position under its abdomen. With her fangs interlocking, she bit into it, not letting go even as she was dragged along. Instead, she hooked her claws and flapped her wings, firmly hanging onto it.
Her fangs continuously probed the blood vessels, breaking them open and continuously bleeding the Měng Niú Lóng.
While dodging, Jie Jie swiped a claw, scratching through the face of the Měng Niú Lóng. The bloodied Měng Niú Lóng entered a state of full rage, ignoring Nana clinging to its body, and wildly shook its head towards the Flame King Dragon.
This coral land wasn’t spacious for large monsters. Left and right dodging, he was eventually cornered with no way to evade, about to be slammed against the wall by the Měng Niú Lóng.
But just as the Měng Niú Lóng was about to claim victory, it suddenly lost its strength and collapsed sideways with a loud boom.
Nana, covered in blood, jumped out from behind the Měng Niú Lóng, crossing over its body to reach its neck position. Her sharp fangs pierced through its neck.
She proudly raised her head, looking like a victorious warrior waiting for praise.
Jie Jie touched Nana’s claws with his paw pads as a sign of praise, then began processing the Měng Niú Lóng’s corpse.
Nana helped him skillfully.
Separating the skin scale layer from the meat layer, removing the internal organs, cleaning the connective tissues…
She was already very familiar with this process of dissecting monsters into chunks of meat. But stimulated by the bloody smell, she always liked to sneak a few bites.
Having noticed this, Jie Jie simply skewered the Měng Niú Lóng’s heart with his claws and fed it to her.
The monster’s heart had a strong bloody flavor, chewy, and bursting with juice when bitten. Cooking it might not make it taste better than eating it raw.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient culinary skills, they couldn’t make brine, otherwise, marinating the heart would have been great.
After finishing processing the ingredients, it was time to put them into the pot.
They brought frying pans and pots in the silk bag they retrieved earlier. Just right, Nana was responsible for cooking, and he was responsible for heating.
Nana’s previous attempt at making soup with sulfur water was an accident; she wouldn’t do such a stupid thing again.
However, when sprinkling seasonings, Jie Jie rummaged through the silk bag and found that they were running low on seasoning. They’d need to visit the investigation team in the Ancient Tree Forest sometime soon to see how their infrastructure work was going.
Soon, they realized they needed another dragon to help guard the tower.
The aroma of roasted meat oil attracted many monsters, forcing Jie Jie to leave the pot and deal with them. The cooking process was frequently interrupted.
The delicious smell causing a riot among other monsters proved their culinary skills, but it was terrible when the riot led to destruction.
Just as Jie Jie was troubled, a silver figure fell from the sky, staring at the roasting meat and the Měng Niú Lóng carcass, clearly wanting to grab some food.
Still, the Silver Fire Dragon remained slightly rational, observing the situation first before grabbing.
Jie Jie quickly thought and cut off a large piece of meat, sprinkled salt on it, and stuck several ribs on it, placing it nearby where it blocked their path.
When faced with a horde of bandits, the easiest solution is to recruit one group to let the dogs fight each other!
Too many bones slowed down the Silver Fire Dragon’s feeding speed, and it still wanted what was in the pot. Thus, it had to stand guard in front of them with the meat block.
After suppressing the nearby monsters, Jie Jie and Nana quickly ate their fill. Most importantly, watching the cricket fights was a great appetizer.
The remaining pieces of Měng Niú Lóng meat were preserved with the last bit of salt, and the Silver Fire Dragon also took away the newly awarded piece of meat and left.
Not rushing to leave, Jie Jie followed the Silver Fire Dragon from afar, intending to observe how its life with the Golden Fire Dragon was going.
After entering the Lava Zone, the two Sunfire Dragons who had experienced the eternal winter felt exceptionally comfortable.
Jie Jie quietly peeked out from the cave entrance, while Nana stepped on his body, her head resting on top of his, clearly curious about what he wanted to see.
The egg nest built with branches had disappeared. The Silver Fire Dragon had mostly burrowed into a smaller, more concealed lava cave higher up.
Apparently, the Golden Fire Dragon’s egg nest was there. Such a good position meant that as long as the Golden Fire Dragon squatted at the entrance, it would be a perfect defense.
The sound of flapping wings came, and they saw the Silver Fire Dragon getting blasted out by a door-killing move, the meat block in its mouth disappearing.
It seems the Golden Fire Dragon might have already laid eggs and entered a sensitive period, even ignoring the Silver Fire Dragon.
The Silver Fire Dragon wandered outside the cave, emitting sorrowful cries, but without hesitation, flapped its wings and flew away.
At this point, Jie Jie and Nana came to the cave entrance, flapping their wings and hooking onto the edge of the cave. Looking up, they saw the Golden Fire Dragon lying on the eggs, ready to unleash a powerful roar, so they quickly retracted their heads.
Nana also clambered up to the edge of the cave, seeing the inside situation, and was timely pulled down by Jie Jie, thus avoiding being splattered with the Golden Fire Dragon’s breath weapon due to an instinctive reaction.
This wasn’t too bad a result?
The Golden Fire Dragon could defend everything alone with this door-killing technique, and the Silver Fire Dragon only needed to feed it regularly, allowing it to wander freely.
Thinking this, Jie Jie looked into Nana’s eyes.
Egg-laying, being fed!
Nana thought this, lifting her gaze and staring intently at Jie Jie.
