Gray’s doubts were finally dispersed. The thing that the dragon egg had been sensing from the safe house was actually a mana crystal!
It couldn’t be denied that this was something that made Gray surprised and happy.
Gray had been prepared for the dragon egg to want a mana crystal. After all, this was a substance that the system had designated to speed up the hatching process. It would definitely be beneficial to the growth of the dragon egg.
What truly touched Gray was that the dragon egg was able to sense this finger-sized mana crystal from so far away.
This made Gray’s originally extremely lost path seem to suddenly brighten up.
As long as the dragon egg could sense the location of mana crystals, finding the those that could hatch the dragon egg within seven days would no longer be just a dream!
As long as the dragon egg could hatch, it would be the baby of the dragon god. Even if it was only the weakest baby dragon, it would still be the son of the dragon god. Compared to the eight-clawed spider or the slime or even the behemoth, who knows how much stronger than them it would get.
By then, even if Gray could not walk unhindered in this dangerous forest, with the strength of the baby dragon, it would definitely be no problem for him to crush an opponent on the level of the gnawing rabbit.
When the time comes, he would also have the ability to protect himself in the Beast Tide!
Gray wasn’t in a hurry to explore how the dragon egg could sense the mana crystal. After all, the dragon egg was in his hands, so he wasn’t afraid that it would run away. He would slowly study it later.
The most important thing now was, of course, to quickly hand the mana crystal to the dragon egg and see its changes!
Having made up his mind, Gray put the mana crystal into his pocket, closed his attribute panel, and quickly left this place of trouble.
He carried the dragon egg on his back and walked along the path he came from. He found a bush that seemed to be hidden and dived into it.
In the bush, Gray untied the dragon egg and put it on the ground.
The dragon egg’s mood was extremely impatient at this moment. When Gray took the dragon egg off, he even felt that the shell of the dragon egg had warmed up a few degrees.
Gray then took out the mana crystal and tried to place it on the dragon egg.
This move was indeed effective. The place where the dragon egg touched the mana crystal seemed to melt, swallowing the Mana crystal and then mending itself back to normal.
An affectionate feeling of satisfaction and gratitude came from within the egg shell.
Seeing the mana crystal being swallowed, Gray was naturally excited. When everything was over, he hurriedly opened the dragon egg’s attribute panel:
[Platinum Dragon God Egg]
[Growth state: Hatching]
[Strength level: Tier 0]
[Ability: Dragon’s Might Mana Sensitivity]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Growth limit: Unable to calculate]
[Growth cycle: Five million years to reach adulthood. Hatching takes one year. (9/10)]
[Note 1: The growth cycle of a giant dragon is divided into hatching, infancy, youth, adulthood, ancient dragon, prehistoric dragon]
[Note 2: The egg shell of the platinum dragon god contains the inheritance of the platinum dragon god. It is endowed with a characteristic that will not be destroyed by attacks below the level of a god.]
[Note 3: Devouring material that contains magic power can strengthen the egg of a dragon in the hatching stage. There is also a certain chance to speed up its hatching.]
As expected, there were changes!
Gray was pleasantly surprised. He saw a row of numbers that appeared next to the original hatching time: (9/10) . He hurriedly clicked on the number to check.
[accelerated. The remaining time is 9/10 of the total hatching time. Accelerated hatching time will not consume lifespan.]
It really accelerated the hatching process!
Gray’s eyes lit up. One mana crystal could actually shorten the hatching time to 9/10 of the total. Didn’t that mean that he only needed to find nine more mana crystals to let the dragon egg hatch on the spot!
For a moment, Gray felt as though victory was right in front of him.
The strength that he had lost in the battle with the gnawing rabbit seemed to have returned to his body. Gray felt as though his entire body was filled with energy.
Following that, Gray seemed to have discovered the secret of being able to sense the mana crystals from the dragon egg’s attribute panel.
[Ability: Dragon’s Might Mana Sensitivity]
Gray had never took note of this before. After all, it was a dragon egg, so what could he expect it to do?
However, after going through the experience of dealing with the gnawing rabbit and obtaining the mana crystal, Gray no longer felt the same way.
This little fellow had its own intelligence and emotions. Even if it had yet to truly come to this world, it still possessed a level of strangeness that far surpassed other creatures.
Gray tapped on Dragon’s Might, and a detailed explanation of Dragon’s Might popped up:
[Dragon’s Might]
[Ability effect: 1. This ability has a certain effect on all living creatures within a five-meter radius. It causes the enemy to panic and lose their hostility. The specific range and direction of the ability can be controlled by oneself. 2. When Dragon’s Might is shot out, the enemy that it hits will feel the threat of facing a giant dragon head-on! Every time Dragon’s Might is released, there will be a cooldown period. During the cooldown period, the first effect will be weakened, while the second effect will be unable to be used. (Current cooldown: 00:43:38)]
[Ability description: As the descendant of the platinum dragon god, it possesses endless authority from the moment of birth. Everything in the world should submit.]
Gray recalled the energy that shot out from the dragon egg when he fought with the gnawing rabbit and came to a sudden realization.
So that was what happened. So that was the Dragon’s Might from the dragon egg.
Even if it was just a dragon egg, it was actually able to knock a Tier 2 beast into a coma with a single strike, allowing it to be slaughtered.
The strength and talent of a giant dragon was truly extraordinary.
Gray estimated the time. It seemed that each attack with the Dragon’s Might would require about an hour of cooldown.
The cooldown time was slightly longer, but considering the caster and its power, it was already very rare.
Now that he thought about it, the little fellow could be considered to have a life-and-death friendship with him.
If it wasn’t for that precise strike, he might not have been completely unharmed.
Although he couldn’t escape the connection between the gnawing rabbit and the dragon egg’s guidance, he had chosen his own path after all. He had made the decision to follow the dragon egg’s guidance, so he couldn’t blame it.
Dragon’s Might had explained the dragon egg’s attack during battle, so it seemed that the mana sensitivity was the reason why the dragon egg could find the mana crystal.
Gray continued to click on the explanation of the mana sensitivity:
[Mana Sensitivity]
[Ability effect: Can sense concentrated mana within a radius of eight hundred meters, and identify the type of mana and its use.]
[Ability description: The platinum dragon god is the dragon that is closest to the origin of magic. Other than the research on mana itself, no one else can surpass its achievements. This kind of affinity for mana is also left to its offspring.]
Seeing this, Gray estimated that the straight distance from here to the safe house seemed to be about eight hundred to a thousand meters, not counting the path he took to avoid some obstacles.
Amazing.
Looking at the dragon egg in his hand, Gray completely changed his impression of it not being useful..
