Chapter 302
"Chirp?"
Seeing the little dragon smiling at it, the little red bird tilted its head slightly and spit out flames at it with a puff.
Although the ruby was only the size of a palm, the flames it spewed out were much larger than its body, completely enveloping the little dragon's head.
This scene also caught the eyes of Tang Yu'an who came to find it.
Behind Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi, there were two giant dragons following, and they naturally saw this scene as well.
Tang Yu'an was frightened when he saw the little red bird attacking the dragon cub.
"Ruby!" he called out.
The little red bird was startled and the flames spewing from its mouth stopped.
Tang Yu'an was already flying over quickly, holding the little red bird in both hands to prevent it from running around, and then looked at the dragon cub in the magma pool.
Fortunately, the dragon cub was not angry. Instead, it squinted its eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment. After the flames stopped, it blinked and looked at Tang Yu'an in confusion.
Tang Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because they were all fire creatures, the dragon cub was not hurt by the ruby's flames.
He looked at Chiyan and Yanlie. The two giant dragons were also very calm. Even though the dragon cubs had just escaped from danger and were now being sprayed with fire, they were not nervous at all.
On the contrary, the two dragons were looking at the little red bird in his hand.
Tang Yu'an was small enough in their eyes, not to mention the ruby which was only the size of Tang Yu'an's palm. They needed to get closer and try their best to see its appearance clearly.
"What kind of creature is this?" Chiyan asked in surprise.
"The flame it just spewed out..." Yan Lie hesitated and looked at his dragon cub uncertainly, "Can you absorb it?"
Just like Chiyan said before, dragons are born with the ability to master their own language.
However, although the dragon cub understood what he said, he didn't understand what he meant by "absorb".
It imitated the little red bird, tilted its head in confusion, and then said happily: "I like it... I like it..."
The dragon cub expressed its joy in its childish voice while stretching out its claws towards Tang Yu'an, as if it wanted to play with the little red bird.
When Chiyan heard this, he turned his attention to the dragon cub.
His mental power scanned the young dragon, and after a moment he said, "This little fellow's absorption of fire energy has indeed become stronger. He doesn't look like a newly hatched cub anymore."
"I'm not sure if it's because of the healing potion or this little red spot."
Yes, in the eyes of the dragon, the little red bird is really just a small red dot.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
The little red bird, which had been staying obediently in Tang Yu'an's hands, couldn't help but flap its wings and fly up to show its presence.
"Chirp! Chirp!" The little dragon also imitated it.
Yan Lie looked at his cub with an indescribable expression, but in the end he said nothing.
At least he regained his vitality, which is better than being on the verge of death just now.
He thought about it and said, "Maybe we can give it a try?"
"How do you want to try?" Chiyan asked.
Tang Yu'an caught the little red bird again and looked at Yan Lie curiously, while Zhou Qi seemed to be thinking about something.
Yan Lie looked at the little dragon cub, then raised one of his front paws, and a ball of fire ignited from his palm.
He controlled the flames and approached the dragon carefully.
Because the flames exuded the breath of his father, the dragon cub did not refuse, but pounced towards the flames. Except for its tail, its entire body was wrapped in flames.
The two giant dragons' mental powers nervously observed the little dragon cub.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi were also watching from the side, but with their parents around, they didn't dare to use their spiritual sense, so they couldn't see anything, but...
The dragon cub, who was originally in good condition, gradually became listless.
It lay on the edge of the lava pool, pouting pitifully.
Seeing this, Yanlie quickly extinguished the flames.
"What's going on?"
The little dragon shook his head, "I don't like it..."
"It seems the answer is already obvious." Chiyan looked at the little red bird in Tang Yu'an's hand, "This little flame is a little special."
Yan Lie hurriedly asked, "Xiao An, can you make it spit fire again?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his claws and dug out a piece of fire crystal from the edge of the platform, "This magic crystal is your reward."
Before Tang Yu'an could answer, the little red bird flapped its wings and flew up, landing on the fire crystal stone.
It jumped up and down on the crystal, obviously enjoying it.
Tang Yu'an likes it too.
He smiled and said, "Sure."
Then he commanded the little red bird to spit fire at the dragon cub again.
Although it didn't know why, the little red bird still obediently flew in front of the young dragon and spit out a large mouthful of fire at it.
The little dragon lying on the edge of the lava pool once again showed an expression of enjoyment.
Under the induction of the blazing flames, the little dragon's absorption of fire-type spiritual energy accelerated again, and the breath that had become disordered due to the blazing flames was also sorted out and smoothed.
The little dragon cub couldn't express his specific feelings, he just knew that it was very comfortable.
It smiled happily, and when the little red bird fell down due to exhaustion, it stretched out its claws to catch it.
“Chirp—”
“Chirp!”
Every time the little red bird calls, the dragon cub follows suit. Even though it is a dragon, it can imitate the bird's call very well.
The two little ones get along happily, and Tang Yu'an is also very happy because -
You completed a profitable transaction with a new customer, gaining +3 experience points and +1,380,500 points.
It’s easy, and you can earn more than one million points!
"Xiao An, can you tell me what kind of creature this little red dot is?" Chi Yan asked excitedly, unable to contain his excitement.
He felt that perhaps a solution might have been found to the lingering shadow of the Fire Dragon Clan - the plight of premature death of their cubs.
And that method is in this red mini bird.
Tang Yu'an hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't tell you this."
On the message board in front of him, there was still Zhou Qi's private chat interface, and he saw Zhou Qi discussing with him on it.
[Liangzai Zhou: Ruby is the phoenix. According to legend, the phoenix has the ability to be reborn from the ashes. Perhaps the special flame of ruby is related to this ability.]
Rubies and even feathers are rare materials, so it can be said that every part of the body is a treasure.
Although they didn't know whether the two dragons knew about the phoenix, for the sake of caution, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi both agreed that it should be kept secret.
Chiyan was obviously a little regretful.
"We have no ill intentions, we just hope to find its tribe and ask for their help."
He explained, "This little fellow must also need rich fire energy to grow. Otherwise, with the potential it has shown, it would not be able to reach this size."
"And in this world, there is no place with more abundant fire spiritual energy than our Fire Dragon Clan!"
"Its tribe can move here. As long as they are willing to help us rescue the cubs, the entire Fire Dragon tribe will agree to share their home."
This sounds really good, but the problem is that the Ruby people are not in this plane.
However, Ruby's growth does require fire psionic energy.
After hearing what Chi Yan said, Tang Yu'an realized that the growth of ruby seemed to be a bit slow - of course, it might also be because the phoenix's infancy is relatively long?
He nodded. "I know you mean no harm, but I don't know where Ruby's tribe is. I got its egg by chance, and it took a lot of effort to hatch it."
Hearing this, Chi Yan could only say: "I see, then..."
"If the fire dragon cub needs help, I am willing to help, but it also depends on Ruby's willingness and condition." Tang Yu'an said.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp—”
The little red bird flapped its wings and flew to Tang Yu'an's shoulder, rubbing its beak against his cheek affectionately.
The dragon cub looked at it curiously, and actually flew out of the magma pool, rubbing its cheek against Tang Yu'an gently.
Its body was more than three meters long, but its head was not very big, only about forty or fifty centimeters. It had little strength and hummed and whine while acting coquettishly to Tang Yu'an.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but reach out and gently touch its dragon horn.
Zhou Qi watched nervously from the side, and then couldn't help but look at the two giant dragons. The dragon cubs just flew out of the magma pool like that, is it really okay?
Then he saw—
The two giant dragons looked at them, and both showed the same expression of being touched by cuteness as Shanfeng did before.
Zhou Qi: “…”
He looked at Tang Yu'an and slowly relaxed.
His An An is really cute.
After a while, Yan Lie came to his senses and quickly drove the dragon cub back into the lava pool.
"You've just emerged from your shell. You have to stay in the pool for the time being. You can't leave until your body becomes stronger. Got it?"
Under his repeated instructions, the little dragon had no choice but to stay in the lava pool and look at Tang Yu'an eagerly.
Tang Yu'an reached out and touched its head.
The scales of the newly born dragon are soft and thin, and they sparkle with fluorescent spots.
The scales of the fire dragon cub are not pure red, but bluish-purple, a bit like the color of the flame when the gas is lit, which is very beautiful.
The little dragon cub also liked Tang Yu'an very much and rubbed his palm with his head.
Tang Yu'an played with it for a while until it closed its eyes and fell asleep without noticing, then he stood up carefully.
The little red bird nestled in the dragon cub's fur, curled up into a small ball, and fell asleep.
After they and the two dragons flew a little further away, they whispered, "Let Ruby stay with the little dragon for the time being. It seems like it likes it here."
"Okay, okay."
Chiyan and Yanlie were both very happy and gave Tang Yu'an another crystal on the spot.
Tang Yu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Afterwards, Yanlie went back to continue guarding the dragon cub, and Chiyan also returned to guard his own dragon eggs.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi continued to build the house, and that evening, Ping'an Grocery Store No. 22 was announced to be completed!
After building the teleportation array, they can finally leave this underground world.
They agreed with Blazing Flame on a time to return, and discussed with Ruby for a while. It was not until Emerald split into a branch to stay with it that the little red bird reluctantly agreed.
Tang Yu'an didn't expect the emerald to suddenly split, and wanted to stay in such a hot environment.
But plants can grow in magma, so maybe emeralds can too?
Of course, he planted it in the soil for the time being and asked the robot to water it every day before leaving with peace of mind.
Back to this plane, only one day had passed.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi were just about to return to the RV when they saw Grandpa Li sending them a message.
【Message Board (Friends Private Chat)】
