Chapter 355: Chapter 351: Mecha Dragon Cub Beast
Bai Qi examined the armed design plan on the table in front of him. Sure of no errors in it, he turned to Schuck and asked, “Schuck, can you make sure that the weaponries will be suitable to its size by the time the egg hatches?”
“As long as it doesn’t die instantly, it won’t be a problem.”
Schuck suggested, “It’s preferable to conduct the hatching process in the No. 5 Compound. That would be a less risky way.”
Bai Qi nodded. From the readings on the equipment, the embryo inside this Fossil Egg was already fully developed. The only risk he was concerned about was that when it broke out from the shell, it might reject the current environment, leading to its demise.
Therefore, even if Schuck hadn’t said anything, Bai Qi would have made the same choice—to cultivate the creature and ensure that it was armed, till the very end.
“Delta, let’s get it started.”
Bai Qi nodded at Delta. At once, with the assistance of the Jiuding System, Delta activated the incubator, and energy started flowing into the Fossil Egg.
Finally, under the expectant gazes of Bai Qi and all the exotic creatures, the Fossil Egg cracked for the first time, and everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
Crack!
Following a crisp sound, a piece of eggshell fell, and a delicate claw stretched out from the eggshell gap. It swayed inside the No. 5 compound and then retracted back.
Soon, the eggshell broke piece by piece, and a dragon-beast with blue skin appeared in front of Bai Qi.
“Reincarnation has succeeded!”
Bai Qi glanced at the data displayed on the equipment and punched the air in triumph, while Schuck also readied himself.
Roar?
The Dragon-beast seemed somewhat befuddled with its current circumstances. Its hazy eyes couldn’t see the surroundings clearly, even though it tried sniffing around the compound environment instinctively.
At that moment, when the dragon-beast reared its head, the equipment beside buzzed with sharp alarm sound.
The vitality of the Dragon-beast was visibly fading.
“Schuck!”
“Got it.”
Etherium Liquid Gold started to flow and got adhered to the Dragon-beast in an instant, swiftly forming a metallic armor and continuously absorbing the No. 5 Compound from the surroundings to input into the Dragon-beast’s body.
The Dragon-beast’s vitality was rapidly weakening, yet the decline slowed down. However, it didn’t halt entirely, and the Dragon-beast continued to weaken persistently.
“Because it’s not fully fused, the effect is somewhat lacking, isn’t it?”
Bai Qi clenched his teeth upon seeing this situation. Just as he was about to use an Evolution Egg to aid in its forced fusion, Delta beat him to it and injected a syringe of solution into the Dragon-beast’s body.
In a flash, an Evolution Light enveloped the Dragon-beast, and the data on the equipment started fluctuating intensely.
“This is…the evolution?”
Bai Qi looked on surprisingly at the syringe in Delta’s hand, taken aback.
Evolution was possible with just one injection? What kind of revolutionary compound had Delta researched this time?
“Bubble bubble.”
(That’s Delta’s blood that was put through a refinement process. Originally, it was supposed to test the new compound, but the situation became urgent, so Delta directly injected it.)
“Your blood?”
Bai Qi’s eyes widened. He asked, “Delta, can your blood promote evolution?”
“Bubble bubble.”
(It can’t. Theoretically, this should be considered as the pure form of the No. 5 Compound, which could help it adapt to the external environment. But I didn’t expect this.)
“I see. So it’s the No. 5 Compound PLUS.”
Bai Qi nodded while the evolution light on Dragon-Beast gradually dimmed, revealing a silver-armored, blue-skinned Fierce Dragon.
“The soul state is quite stable. It should be a success.”
Jerry studied the Fierce Dragon for a while, soon confirming its condition. The nearby detection equipment also stabilized after fluctuating for a while and continued monitoring the Dragon-beast’s state.
All seemed normal.
“Phew~ I guess I have revived an Ancient Species.”
Watching the mechanical dragon-beast, who was curiously surveying the surroundings, Bai Qi smirked.
Although this embryo was a semi-finished product pilfered from his father, the fact that he had successfully hatched it from a dead egg was also a form of “resurrection” in some way.
Roar?
(But why do I feel like the credit goes to Delta?)”
With an expression of contempt, Beta looked at Bai Qi, who was too busy examining the Dragon-beast up close at the moment to pay any attention to Beta.
Roar!
Seeing Bai Qi approach, the Dragon-beast instinctively roared at him, trying to scare him off. However, its voice was barely intimidating, rather, it sounded like a puppy yowling, making it incredibly adorable.
“This guy, is it really a Fierce Dragon Beast?”
Watching this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh. All the Ancient Species breached by Delta were domineering, but this Dragon-beast seemed excessively cute.
Just then, the projection of Yu appeared, saying, “Grandpa, the Jiuli Group has announced the appearance of the Ancient Species.”
“Oh? Show me.”
Bai Qi’s eyebrows lifted. The Jiuli Group really worked fast.
“Alright.”
Yu nodded and projected an image before everyone.
The projection showed a press conference held by the Jiuli Group. However, the venue wasn’t any convention hall but a vast open ground.
On the open space, primeval giants were wantonly unleashing their instincts. Even through the screen, one could clearly feel their untamed aura from ancient times.
“Tsk, they’re all cultivated from ancient embryos, so why is mine a little thing?”
Bai Qi smacked his lips, looking at the Mecha Dragon Beast which probably was not even as big as the others’ feet. He said, “I might as well just call you Mecha Dragon Cub Beast.”
Roar?
The Dragon Cub Beast tilted its head to glance at Bai Qi, then staggered to the screen, staring at its kind in a daze.
Seeing this, Delta seemed to sense something. With a thought, its body suddenly transformed, astonishingly turning into a Fierce Dragon Beast and gently rubbing the body of the Dragon Cub Beast.
Roar roar roar!
Feeling the same species aura from Delta, the Dragon Cub Beast suddenly cheered up, and also affectionately rubbed against Delta.
“It seems to see Delta as its relative.”
Bai Qi revealed a smile and dropped his initial plan to research the Dragon Cub Beast’s data.
After a deep sleep for so many years and waking up again, the Dragon Cub Beast should be very confused, right? Better let it adapt first.
Then, just when Bai Qi was about to let Delta bring the Dragon Cub Beast outside for some activity, another Evolution Light suddenly emerged from the Dragon Cub Beast.
“What the heck, it’s evolving again? Are the ancient species so domineering nowadays?”
Bai Qi was surprised. He immediately activated the control power of the secret realm to move everyone to the open space. They saw the Dragon Cub Beast’s body getting bigger and bigger, even surpassing Delta in the end. The mechanical armor on its body radiated a cold light, adding another three points of majesty to it.
Roar!!!
As the light dispersed, the Dragon Cub Beast issued an earth-shaking roar. The belligerent aura spread arbitrarily, forcing Bai Qi to hide behind Delta.
“Can it be so fierce just after evolution?”
Bai Qi was amazed and happy to see the Dragon Cub Beast releasing its energy. He was about to let Delta help calm it down when he suddenly saw the Dragon Cub Beast stumbling and falling heavily to the ground.
At the same time, a dark red Degeneration Light emerged from the Dragon Cub Beast. Its gigantic body shrank dramatically, reverting to its original form.
“Damn it, has this inherited Delta’s degenerative attribute?”
Bai Qi’s eye twitched as he remembered the needle Delta had injected into the Dragon Cub Beast.
“Eh? Where is that big guy from just now? I haven’t seen these foolish creatures that are dumber than a walnut in ages.”
At this moment, the Cowskin Snake somehow sneaked out and approached the fainted Dragon Cub Beast. It said: “Has it shrank into this? To be expected, the soul is too weak, it couldn’t possibly bear that form.”
“Cowskin Snake, can you see the Dragon Cub Beast’s soul?”
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Although he did not fully trust the Cowskin Snake’s words, this guy’s origins were definitely extraordinary. It might even be able to reveal something.
“I can’t see.”
Bai Qi: “…”
Seeing Bai Qi’s face darken a bit, the Cowskin Snake quickly started to explain.
“This thing is obviously a pup, right? How could the soul of a pup support the body of an adult Fierce Dragon?”
The Cowskin Snake looked at Bai Qi with peculiar eyes, and added, “Unless there’s someone else’s spirit power to help, otherwise it’s absolutely impossible to sustain it.”
“Someone else’s spirit power…”
Bai Qi thought for a moment and immediately looked at Husky. After Jerry nodded, he went up to the Dragon Cub Beast and infused his spirit power into it.
Roar…
With Jerry’s spiritual support, the Dragon Cub Beast soon woke up. But it seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before and ran back to Delta to show affection.
Purr purr.
(Master, what should Delta do now?)
Seeing this, Delta quickly disbanded its Fierce Dragon Beast form to prevent the Dragon Cub Beast from evolving again. Meanwhile, it didn’t know how to handle the Dragon Cub Beast who was treating it like a father or mother.
“It’s fine, just appease it for now. This little thing is in good condition, just probably overexerted its spirit power.”
Bai Qi smiled, tilted his head and thought a bit. “Delta, why don’t you morph into the Wind God Winged Dragon and see?”
Delta was a bit puzzled, but it obediently transformed.
Roar?
Seeing Delta suddenly turn into another species, the Dragon Cub Beast was quite puzzled, but once it smelled the familiar scent from Delta, it still pounced on him.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
About ten minutes passed, and the Dragon Cub Beast didn’t show any changes. But the moment Delta transformed back into the Fierce Dragon Beast on command, the Dragon Cub Beast underwent transformation again.
“So that’s how it is. It can only evolve into an adult of its own species.”
Bai Qi stroked his chin, his eyes sparkling brightly, as though what was in front of him was not a Dragon Cub Beast, but an experimental subject.
Awoo…
(I told you, humans can’t be trusted.)
Beta disdainfully glanced at Bai Qi. Seeing the Cowskin Snake shaking its tail in boredom, its black eyes turned dark. Suddenly, it took a bite at the snake.
“Stupid canine, you dared to ambush me. Let’s see how I deal with you today!”
Awoo awoo!
(Smelly snake bit where! Today I must compete the battle of the sexes with you!)
“I am male, not discussing the battle of the sexes with you.”
