Chapter 674: Roasting the Longevity Dragon Egg

The reason this dragon was called the Longevity Dragon…

…was because eating it could truly grant longevity.

This was why it was besieged and killed the moment it appeared.

Jiang Zuo had later gone to verify this himself. He discovered that one could indeed attain longevity, but it required eating an entire dragon.

A partial portion would only increase one’s lifespan. As for how much, it depended on the individual.

Some gained a hundred years, while others gained tens of thousands.

In short, it was both a dragon and a Divine Medicine.

However, it seemed to have appeared ahead of schedule, which meant it would likely be born early. Because of this, Jiang Zuo wasn’t sure if someone would try to slaughter it this time.

‘It’s a pity it’s so big, otherwise, I could move it to the balcony.’

Just then, Jiang Zuo saw that Mo Yan had tagged him.

Fairy Mo Yan: “Boss Po Xiao, what kind of egg is this?”

Po Xiao: “A Dragon Egg. The egg of a Longevity Dragon. The kind of Dragon Egg you can eat to gain longevity.”

Fairy Mo Yan: “Huh?”

Liuyue Xue was also stunned. “What kind of egg?”

Jiang Zuo, naturally, didn’t bother replying again. It was a pointless question.

Chi Xue Child: “Longevity? For real? Liuyue Xue, where are you guys? Wait for me, let’s eat it together.”

Blade Master Hai Bian: “It’s a Dragon Egg. Think carefully before you eat it. Besides, can you even eat it all?”

Liu Yiyi: “Bring it back and raise it. Then we can eat it after it’s grown up.”

Zhong Yiyang: “I’ll cook it. Just save me a share.”

Chen Yi: “We’re willing to be the poison tasters.”

Xiao Xiaomo: “Let us handle such a dangerous job.”

Liu Yu: “Right, right, our lives are expendable.”

Yang Mu: “I’ll be the cannon fodder this time.”

Chu Qing: “Sister Liuyue Xue, can we get a little share too?”

Jiang Zuo looked at these people, not knowing what to say.

‘It’s like they’re already putting it in the pot.’

One had to understand that the Longevity Dragon was the offspring of a Dragon. Even a malnourished newborn was guaranteed to be at least Tier Seven. If it had sufficient nutrition, it would emerge at Tier Nine.

‘These people wouldn’t even be enough to get caught in its teeth.’

But Jiang Zuo paid them no mind. All these people could do was cause a bit of a ruckus.

Sure enough, Blade Master Hai Bian asked, “Are you guys trapped in there? By the way, what is that place? Can we get in?”

Liuyue Xue: “Getting in isn’t a problem, but my senior sister said it’s very dangerous here and told us all to retreat.”

Blade Master Hai Bian said, “I’ll try to see if I can find you.”

Chi Xue Child: “[Surprised emoji] You really want to eat a dragon?”

Blade Master Hai Bian: “Eating the Dragon isn’t practical. But it’s a Longevity Dragon. Have you ever considered sitting by the shell to seek enlightenment? What if you comprehend something from it?”

Hearing what Blade Master Hai Bian said, it actually made a lot of sense.

Chi Xue Child: “I’m going too.”

Chen Yi: “Not practical, huh? Forget it, time for work. I’m getting up.”

Xiao Xiaomo: “Off to work, off to work. Remember to order takeout, I was starving yesterday.”

Liu Yu: “Time for work again.”

Chu Qing: “Time for class again.”

Zhong Yiyang: “Time to cook, time to cook.”

Liu Yiyi: “My dad’s calling me.”

Blade Master Hai Bian: “…”

Chi Xue Child: “…”

Mo Yan circled the Dragon Egg, examining it for a long time.

Finally, she asked, “Liuyue Xue, do you think the shell of this Dragon Egg is thick?”

Liuyue Xue didn’t say anything. Who knew what Mo Yan was planning?

“How high a temperature do you think we’d need to roast this egg?” Mo Yan asked.

‘Is she really planning to roast it?’

‘Isn’t she afraid of roasting it so much it hatches early?’

Liuyue Xue then typed a message for Mo Yan to see. After reading it, Mo Yan said, “What if it’s still just yolk inside? We won’t know until we try.”

Liuyue Xue ignored Mo Yan and went to check out another area, wanting to at least confirm if there was any danger nearby.

As soon as Liuyue Xue left, Mo Yan chased after her. “Wait for me! If you leave, who’s going to be my bodyguard?”

A vein instantly popped on Liuyue Xue’s forehead.

She really wanted to strike Mo Yan.

If this place weren’t unsuitable for inflicting serious injuries, Mo Yan would already be lying on the ground.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo stood before the Xilin Bat and said, “You possess the bloodline of the Dragon Race, as well as the bloodline of the Qilin?”

Xilin Bats usually only had the bloodline of the Dragon Race; those with a Qilin bloodline were extremely rare.

The Xilin Bat didn’t speak. It didn’t want to.

Jiang Zuo continued, “You are unable to wield the power of these two bloodlines. That is why you are weak. Otherwise, you could have held on for a while longer.”

The Xilin Bat grew agitated. This human was actually insulting it like this.

But for the sake of survival—for survival—it had no choice but to swallow its anger.

Walking up to the Xilin Bat, Jiang Zuo drew a Rune and then tapped it onto the space between its brows.

The Xilin Bat, which had been somewhat worried, froze the instant it received the Rune.

It was in utter disbelief.

By this time, Jiang Zuo had already turned to leave. His voice soon drifted back to it. “As long as the Rune does not fade, the Dragon Power will not cease. This is for your self-preservation. Do not let the signal be interrupted before I leave.”

With that, Jiang Zuo descended from the sky and sped off into the distance.

The Xilin Bat felt the power of its own bloodline. This was the first time in its entire existence it had ever felt such immense, vast, and incomparably mighty power.

It felt that it was no longer weak. It didn’t even need to hide high up in the sky anymore.

It couldn’t imagine what kind of person could activate its Dragon Race bloodline with a casual tap of a finger.

Then, it touched the Rune between its brows and felt it.

It was this Rune’s guidance that allowed it to use its Dragon Race bloodline.

But it could clearly sense that the Rune was constantly being consumed and would completely disappear before long.

‘How could this be?’

The Xilin Bat felt as if it had plummeted from heaven to Hell in an instant.

In that moment, it felt a sense of cruelty.

Then, it thought of that human.

‘As long as I capture him… I’m so strong now, I can definitely do it. As long as I capture him, this power can be mine forever.’

But just as the thought arose, it immediately shook its head. ‘No, that’s not right. He can give me this power, so he can also take it away. I can’t make a move against him.’

‘Then what should I do?’

The Xilin Bat was suddenly lost in thought, but its body still subconsciously followed after Jiang Zuo.

As for the signal, it didn’t dare interrupt it now.

Jiang Zuo landed on the surface of the water. He wanted to find Su Qi, but flying there would indeed take a lot of time.

As for having the bat carry him over, that was not an option.

That bat was too rebellious and could easily hurt someone.

Therefore, if he could find that dragon first and confirm it was not in danger, finding Su Qi would be much simpler.

Unfortunately, the Dragon’s location wasn’t nearby.

After moving across the sea for a long time, Jiang Zuo saw an island—a very large one.

Jiang Zuo wasn’t particularly surprised.

Naturally, he didn’t think Su Qi would be here. He even knew that there was no one he recognized on the island.

Neither Liuyue Xue’s group nor Sister Jingyue’s group was here.

Nevertheless, Jiang Zuo still went ashore. It was hard to say; perhaps there would be an unexpected gain here.

Just as Jiang Zuo set foot on the island, a furious roar echoed from it. “Human, who gave you permission to step into my domain?”

After the voice sounded, a tremendous pressure bore down on them.

The Xilin Bat following behind was startled. Even in its current state, it didn’t dare to go forward.

‘It’s over. That human is going to die, and my power is going to disappear.’
