Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Bai Qi, Alpha, Husky… well, and a Slime Monster, stood in a line, staring blankly at the Green Dragon, who was still unconscious.
“Well, Beast Master, is it really okay for us not to take this chance to run away?”
“Run? Didn’t you just scout? The surrounding area is all covered by poisonous
mist, this is the only safe place.”
Woof, woof!
(Exactly, it’s dead either way, this dog chooses to die in the dragon’s mouth.)
Creak,creak!
(I want to fight it!)
Squish, squash!
(Can it be eaten?)
Looking at this one man and three beasts, Schuck suddenly felt his brain enter a
brief state of crash.
Was this what humans often called tiredness?
Phew.
Finally, the Green Dragon slowly woke up. The breath he exhaled stirred up a gust of wind. As he woke, Alpha immediately entered a battle – ready state. The Wilting Sword flew out from behind him and landed directly in his hand. He watched the Giant Dragon in front of him vigilantly.
[Name]: Wilting Dragon Lord (Alpha)
[Nature]: Ice Clan, Undead Department, Dragon Department
[Growth Level]: Second Stage Level 5
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Withering Breath (Proficient), Dragon Power (Proficient),
Skeleton Manipulation (Perfect), Ice Crystal Barrier (Mastery), Blast Crystal
Spike (Mastery), Shadow Lotus (Perfect), Gravity Amplification (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 206000
[Condition]: Evolvable
After a week of continual evolution, and consuming two bullhorns, Alpha had finally mastered Gravity Amplification as he had wished.
[Skill Name]: Gravity Amplification
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description]: Can forcefully change the gravity of an object according to
one’s will, or use one’s energy to construct a gravity ball.
Initially, Bai Qi had fretted about Alpha only previously mastering one super skill despite being at the level of a mid-level lord. Now it wasn’t a problem anymore, for he had learned another one.
This trial pointed out a road for Bai Qi.
Kill ferocious beasts, steal skills!
Unfortunately, he clearly couldn’t win against the creature before him, otherwise, if he sliced some dragon attribute materials off it, Alpha might have evolved directly into a Bone Dragon.
After all, he had been craving Bai Qiucha’s Bone Dragon for more than just a
day or two.
“Did I just see a human? No, I must have been dreaming!
After slowly waking up, the Green Dragon shook its head and mumbled to himself. He was about to go back to sleep under the cliff, when he suddenly realized that a man and three pets were staring at him.
“Not a dream? Is it really a human?!”
Seeing this, the Green Dragon almost fainted again. Seeing this, Alpha quickly erected an Ice Crystal Barrier to support the huge head of the Green Dragon, which managed to bring it back to its senses.
“This guy is really afraid of humans, isn’t he?”
Ahint of amusement flashed in Bai Qi’s eyes as he used the Ice Crystal Barrier as steps, walking towards the Green Dragon.
Indeed, seeing the tiny human in front of it, the Green Dragon instinctively retreated a step, only stopping when it realized that there was no threat from Bai Qi.
The Green Dragon looked at Bai Qi carefully and asked, “Are you human?”
Bai Qi tried to squeeze out a smile he thought was friendly and said to the timid dragon, “Yes, I am a human. But I’m not your enemy.”
“Not an enemy? That’s good.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, the Green Dragon heaved a sigh of relief, sat down heavily.
Are the dragons of this era this easily fooled? He hadn’t even started cajoling it
yet…
Or was it just dulled from staying in the secret realm for too long?
Seeing the Green Dragon who had completely let down his guard, Bai Qi also completely eased up and signalled to Alpha to be at ease. He asked, “Could I ask how long you have been in this secret realm?”
The Green Dragon shook its head and said, “Since mother was injured and died,
I’ve mostly been sleeping, so I’m not very clear how long has passed.”
Mother? It seemed that the master of this secret realm was a Dragon
Department Beast Master.
However, how did the countermeasures of the Secret Realm Tower seem to belong to a Poison Department Beast Master?
“Oh, do you know how to enter and exit this secret realm?
Different from trial-type secret realms where one can obtain rewards or control of the entire Secret Realm Tower by passing the trials, it’s hard to freely come and go in other secret realms unless one can find the control core or the entrance and exit mechanisms themselves.
And this timid dragon had lived here for so long, it should know some information.
” Leave? Is there an entrance or exit here? ”
The timid dragon looked at Bai Qi with a baffled expression, not understanding what he was asking.
“Alright, forget I asked.”
Bai Qi sighed quietly and began to ponder ways to leave.
Looking at the timid dragon’s reaction, it seemed that there were no entrances or exits nearby. In that case, the control core was definitely in the area outside the poisonous mist.
However, the scout bees he had sent out earlier were corroded by the poisonous mist. Unable to ascertain the extent of the poisonous mist, Bai Qi didn’t wish to act rashly.
Rumble…
All the beasts turned their gaze toward Bai Qi, who was scratching his head in embarrassment.
He had held his hunger after hearing Zhou Yan’s praise about the food at Songyue building, planning to savor it all by himself. But the secret realm issue cropped up unexpectedly, and now he was genuinely hungry.
Nicholas the timid dragon looked at Bai Qi and cheerfully invited, “Oh human, haven’t you eaten? Why not come to my place? I can treat you to some good food.”
“Um, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.”
He wasn’t sure if his small body could handle a dragon s meal…
“No problem, I’ve got more than I can eat anyway, and it’s very boring for a dragon alone. You all can keep me company.”
With a careless wave of his hand, Nicholas grabbed the three beasts and their master with his claw and, flapping his wings, flew towards the cliff edge.
Wow, was this the power of a legendary creature?
Bai Qi looked at Alpha, who was completely powerless to resist, and inwardly cursed.
Where exactly did this guy get his fear of humans from? Didn’t he know that he could squash humans like ants if he wished?
Though, it was a good thing things were like this.
Thus, under the “hostage” situation imposed by Nicholas, the party continuously descended until they saw a huge cave embedded in the cliffside.
The cave was well-hidden by lush vines. From above, it looked in no way peculiar. Inside, it was bathed in verdant landscapes, presenting a vibrant scene of abundant life.
Who would have thought? This timid green dragon fancied a stylish living environment.
“This is my home,” said Nicholas, “I will go and fetch some food for you all.” With that, he gently released Bai Qi and the others, flapped his wings and took off once again.
“So, this is a dragon’s cave? It’s quite different from what I imagined.
The cave was well-hidden by lush vines. From above, it looked in no way peculiar. Inside, it was bathed in verdant landscapes, presenting a vibrant scene of abundant life.
Who would have thought? This timid dragon fancied a stylish living
environment.
Woof woof!
(It smells delicious here.)
Beta sniffed around and was about to head deeper into the cave when Schuck forcefully stopped him.
“Running around the house of a legendary creature-are you in a hurry to die?” “Beta, don’t wander around yet-let’s wait a bit,” Bai Qi patted Beta, indicating him to calm down. He then walked to Alpha, who seemed dazed, and asked, “Alpha, what’s up?”
Click clack.
(I like the environment here; it seems to be boosting my power.)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in understanding. It was no surprise Alpha was resonating with the Green Dragon cave since he was now of Dragon attribute.
Assured Alpha was alright, Bai Qi felt relieved, sat down cross-legged and sank his consciousness into the Beast Control Space.
Streams of silver light were pouring from between the cracks in the Evolution Egg, illuminating the bronze crystal wall and creating a strange, mottled pattern.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 100%)
[Condition]: Activated
The encounter with the timid dragon had filled up the progress of the Bronze Egg, but for some reason, the progress was still stuck at 100%, without advancing to the next phase as expected.
“I hope it won’t be stuck here for years like last time…’
With a slight twitch of his lips, Bai Qi tried to expedite the Evolution Egg’s upgrade with his Spirit Power, but it held on without hatching, utterly disregarding his efforts.
Come on now, this is Beast Master World, not some world of cultivation. Why the heck are there bottlenecks?
“Forget it. Let’s leave this for later once we’re out of this secret realm.
Sighing at the aloof Evolution Egg, Bai Qi fruitlessly exited the Beast Control Space just as Nicholas returned from outside.
Nicholas dropped his clawful of stuff in front of Bai Qi and offeren excitedly, “Here, these are my favorite foods. You guys should try them.
Looking at the bunch of grass in front of him, Bai Qi’s eyes twitched slightly. He inquired uncertainly, “Um, you eat these… regularly?”
“Yeah, of course! What else would I eat?”
Nicholas grabbed a handful of grass and added, “I’ve been eating these since I„ was a chick. They’re good for your stomach and help with sleep, they’re great.
“Okay…”
No wonder Nicholas didn’t react to them-turns out, he’s a vegetarian dragon.
“Why aren’t you eating? You don’t like it? I could get you something else.”
“No need!”
Bai Qi immediately raised both hands to stop him.
Though the grass was a bit plain, at the very least, it was edible. If Nicholas ended up bringing back tree bark or something, he wouldn’t know what to do. After all, even though the dragon was a bit timid, it was still a legendary giant dragon!
What if they caused him to lose his temper? The four of them wouldn’t stand a chance against a single smack from him.
Thinking this, Bai Qi looked at the slime that had zealously started munching away at the pile of grass. He picked up a stalk as tall as him, tore off a piece, forcefully stuffed it in his mouth, and after a cursory chew, swallowed directly. After all, he either had to eat something or not. Better to appease this timid dragon first.
When he swallowed the grass, however, a warm sensation spread quickly throughout his body, even enhancing his Spirit Power!
This grass’s effects were stronger than even the Angel Fruit’s!
Then, to Beta’s surprise, Bai Qi grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into his mouth.
Awoo?
(Has he mistaken the grass for food?)
