#206 - Digging for dragon eggs and withholding food rations
"Hurry! Hurry!"
Big Black pointed at the ground, "Dig here, right here!"
"Okay, step aside!"
Xu Chengxian took out the Scarlet Blood Array Flag and stabbed it down hard.
Bang!
Then he poured blood energy into the flagpole.
Instantly, the flagpole became thicker and longer.
Cracks immediately appeared on the ground.
Crack! Crack!
Then he shook the flagpole left and right.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Finally, he pulled the flagpole up.
A hole immediately appeared in the ground.
Big Black then鑽ed into the hole, and after a while, pushed out a dragon egg.
"Haha! One thousand blood energy!" It shouted gleefully.
"Haha! A dragon egg!" Xu Chengxian clapped his hands in agreement.
This was the fifth dragon egg they had harvested beneath this prison.
"There are two more underneath." Big Black pushed the dragon egg onto the ground, rolled it aside, howled at Xu Chengxian, and then鑽ed back underground.
It wanted to get all the eggs out before Flower Snake said it didn't want them anymore.
Lest this guy go back on his word.
While鑽ing down, it thought, "Hmph, I'll get them all out, it'll be too late for him to regret it!"
The dragon eggs in this place were more like snake eggs, python eggs, turtle eggs, or even other demon race eggs.
In short, they certainly wouldn't have been called dragon eggs in the early days of ancient times.
But now, in this Azure Dragon Secret Realm, anything with a bit of true dragon aura and bloodline could be called a dragon egg.
"Anyway, that kid Xu Chengxian shouts 'dragon egg' as soon as he sees one! Hmph, since he says it's a dragon egg, he has to exchange it for blood energy as a dragon egg!" Big Black grinned underground.
Who cares if it's a dragon egg, as long as it can be exchanged for blood energy!
This time, I've made a profit!
Xu Chengxian, on the ground, looked at the harvested dragon eggs, and his smile stretched from ear to ear.
Five eggs, hehe~
And more, hehe~
Each dragon egg could be exchanged for 2 refinement points.
It didn't seem like much, but little things add up.
What's more, this was an unexpected surprise.
Easy come, easy go.
Of course, he knew that the dragon eggs placed here weren't of very good quality, but so what?
Anyway, there was no possibility of hatching them.
So no matter the quality, as long as they could be exchanged for refinement points!
In just a little while, he could exchange them for 10 refinement points.
This time, I've made a profit!
Thus, with both sides feeling like they had made a profit, this excavation work proceeded very happily.
饕餮 even didn't mind that Xu Chengxian was using the array flag refined from its main body as a digging tool.
It only wanted to quickly find all the dragon eggs and exchange them for blood energy to satisfy its cravings.
Without enough blood energy, its divine soul was about to face the danger of dissipating!
Another half an hour passed.
Good heavens.
Digging out dragon eggs like digging potatoes felt very strange to him.
The main reason was that this True Dragon race didn't follow the usual path, how could they bury their children underground?
"What's wrong with burying them underground?" Big Black hummed as it crawled out of the ground, saying, "Many of the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon and Giant Turtle bloodlines are孕育ed underground."
The Ancestral Dragon and Giant Turtle were powerful beings who roamed the world in ancient times.
Their descendants were buried deep in the earth, why couldn't these dragon eggs?
"How do we take these dragon eggs away?" it asked Xu Chengxian.
"I'll swallow them all." Xu Chengxian didn't say much, he directly opened his mouth and噴ed out a stream of blood energy.
After the blood energy wrapped the dragon eggs, he took a deep breath and swallowed them into his stomach.
"Okay." He patted his stomach after finishing.
It didn't feel like it took up much space.
"…You just, ate them like that?" Big Black blinked, "Aren't you going to wash them?"
"Oh ho? You're quite particular." Xu Chengxian was surprised, "It's just a little dirt, it doesn't matter."
"Dirt doesn't matter, but there's saliva on it!"
"…"
"蜃 Dragon's saliva."
"…Blech!"
…
"So,塗抹ing 蜃 Dragon's saliva can avoid the detection of divine sense?"
After they returned, Big Black ran to Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi, gleefully telling them about Xu Chengxian's embarrassment.
After listening, Lingxiao asked with great interest.
"You need to add some other spiritual materials together." Big Black said, "This is an idea from the 青陽 Demon Emperor, at that time everyone was changing their cultivation methods and becoming more and more reliant on divine sense."
"That guy is extremely smart, always wanting to be one step ahead of others."
"So he figured out many ways to avoid divine sense."
Using 蜃 Dragon's saliva, plus some spiritual plant juices, could form a幻阵-like effect.
Unfortunately, this method could only be used to hide things with weak mana fluctuations.
The eggshells of dragon eggs, or various egg-laying demon races, the eggshells themselves had the effect of遮蔽ing气息.
Buried in the underground spiritual veins, as long as they were slightly concealed, they could avoid the gaze of many探寻ers.
"It's time to settle the bill!"
After making fun of Xu Chengxian, Big Black flew back in front of him and shouted.
"You laugh at me, didn't you think I would口 your blood energy?" Although Xu Chengxian said this, he didn't reduce the amount of blood energy he took out.
"Hmph~ This尊 knows, you're not that kind of despicable demon!" Big Black hugged the blood energy团 and started gnawing on it, and took the time to敷衍, "Besides, what's wrong with 蜃 Dragon's saliva?"
"I heard that in the outside world, it's called Dragon Saliva!"
It's a good thing!
"…Okay, okay, stop mentioning it." Xu Chengxian waved his hand, and secretly vowed that next time he would remember to brush the dragon eggs before swallowing them.
Then, he asked the question that he had always found strange:
"In ancient times, didn't the great powers use divine sense to sense气息 and探查 the four directions?"
"No."
"Why?"
"No need."
"…Five hundred blood energy." Although they had only known each other for two days, Xu Chengxian had already found the trick to支配 Big Black.
--To make 饕餮 fierce soul obedient, you only need a little blood energy.
Worth it.
"The天赋神通 and大道规则 they mastered can turn the place they are in into a small world, and residing in it, all things will be in full view." 饕餮 would not shout that the boss is generous, and quickly answered the question, and then stretched out a front hoof.
Ready to accept the boss's reward.
"Wait." Xu Chengxian said, and was about to condense a团 of blood energy to give it, but in the next instant, his movements stopped.
That's not right.
This is not right.
Blood energy.
Because of the system panel, his own blood energy would be quantified on it.
His divine sense became stronger, able to sense the changes in his own blood energy, and then compare and verify with the data on the panel, and gradually understood how much 1 point of blood energy was.
Apart from him, Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi had never expressed the amount of mana very accurately.
But Big Black, from the beginning of the negotiation, was talking about the amount of blood energy!
What's even more离奇 is.
The blood energy given by Xu Chengxian was based on his own feeling, that is, the blood energy团 given in units of 1 point of blood energy displayed on the system panel.
And the 饕餮 fierce soul, from beginning to end, had not expressed any dissatisfaction with this.
Nor did it have other emotions, obviously accepting it well.
There are two possibilities for this.
"One is that Big Black also has a constantly increasing blood energy system." Xu Chengxian暗道.
This possibility is very low, almost infinitely close to none.
If it really had it, it wouldn't even mind being treated as a pet for the sake of a few hundred blood energy.
"So it is very likely that in the 蛮荒大陆, in ancient or ancient times, blood energy itself had a set of universal units of measurement."
This unit of measurement and the system's, even if there is a bit of deviation, is very small.
So small that it can be ignored.
In order to verify this, he deliberately gave 20 less than five hundred blood energy.
Then, after giving it out, he observed Big Black's reaction.
"Xu Chengxian, you actually deducted my rations!"
Big Black's reaction was that the moment it took the blood energy团, it jumped up and roared.
