Chapter 110 – Concealed Worms, and a Dragon Crystal

“Errr! Dragon eggs? She’s delivering babies?” Both Shisan and Shiqi looked at one another, as expressions of utter disbelief were plastered on their faces.

“To my knowledge, it doesn’t take the dragon several days to deliver eggs. But, we may try our luck and escape from here during this period, as she seems to be struggling!”

“Yeah… How could a dragon deliver eggs for days and nights? It’s simply insane.” Qinghan frowned, as he kind of agreed with what Shisan said.

Abruptly, Little Black jumped out of Qinghan’s grab, and stood on a piece of slate, placing his chubby claws backward, and walking back and forth several times.

An instant later, he conveyed his voice to Qinghan, “Boss, do you remember what I told you about dragons when we were in the Wild Mountain Range? Our race, the soul-eating beasts, has long been on bad terms with the dragon race. The inherited memories in my brain has a specified description on the various features of the dragon race, thus you should trust what I’m about to say. I’m sure she is pregnant, and more amazingly, she could give birth to a twin-dragon egg, which is partly why it takes so long for her to deliver. On the other hand, this ‘little worm’ (dubbed by Little Black, refers to the dragon) carries a Dragon Crystal in her stomach. Yeah, I’m sure of that! I can sniff the alluring smell emitting from the Dragon Crystal, representing the pure energy between Heaven and Earth.

“A twin-dragon egg? Dragon Crystal? What on earth are those things? I mean, my Little Black just told me that this dragon will give birth to a twin-dragon egg, while she also possesses a so-called Dragon Crystal. These are the reasons why it takes so long for the dragon to deliver.” With knitted eyebrows, Qinghan turned to Shisan for help.

“Dragon Crystal!” Shisan opened his eyes as wide as they could possibly be, while looking down at the upstanding Little Black. Suddenly, he yelled out, “Little Black, are you sure that it’s a Dragon Crystal? Oh, Heaven! We’re super lucky!”

“Shisan, what is this Dragon Crystal?” Shiqi’s interest was piqued, as he couldn’t figure out what had driven the usually composed Shisan to act like a crazy man.

“Haha, Shiqi, let’s go and steal that Dragon Crystal! The dragon should be pretty weak during her delivery, in my prediction, and it’ll be easier for us to fight her. You know, once we get that super treasure, our cultivation level will soar! Based on our current cultivation level, we can probably reach the Realm of the Emperor! At that time, we’ll be invincible throughout Ghost Island!” Hastily, Shisan grabbed Shiqi’s arms, preparing to dash out for the risky, but highly beneficial adventure.

“If you guys are desperate to seek death, just go!” Immediately, Little Black warned Shisan and Shiqi by conveying his words to his master. Thus Qinghan quickly drew Shisan and Shiqi back, who were about to set their feet towards the exit of the grotto.

“If I’m right… hmmm... I sense there are two ‘worms’ in this valley. Given your current cultivation level, you aren’t enough to fill the gaps between the dragons’ teeth! You know, if there was only one, I would’ve certainly gone and stolen it already. Plus, even if you finally get this Dragon Crystal, it’ll take you at least one or two years to cultivate to the Realm of the Emperor! The Prefecture War will already have finished by that time!” Little Black brought out yet another piece of breaking news.

[Editor note: The author is rather inconsistent with the length of this prefecture war. He keeps switching between 1 and 3 years.]

“Ah! Two dragons?” Hearing Qinghan’s interpretation, Shisan wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead, and shivered a little bit, as he walked back.

“Little Black, are you really sure about this? Two dragons? Is the Dragon Crystal so difficult to refine?” Being unwilling to give up on such a now-or-never opportunity, Shisan inquired closely.

“Oh, if you don’t trust me, you’re allowed to go and try out your luck!” Turning around, Little Black faced his back towards Shisan, refusing to give him a more detailed explanation.

“Shisan, tell me, what is this Dragon Crystal? Is it so magical that we can reach the Realm of the Emperor with its assistance? As far as I know, it requires the comprehension of the laws of Heaven and Earth to reach the Realm of the Emperor. I could be convinced if the energy inside the Dragon Crystal is able to prompt our cultivation to the peak level of the Realm of the Prince; yet I consider it too exaggerated to say that it could help us reach the Realm of the Emperor. You know, the boundary between these two levels is always regarded as the most-difficult to break, with some cultivators spending their entire lifetime trying to break this boundary, but failing to do so.” Straightforwardly, Shiqi voiced all of his doubts.
