#220 - This can’t be blamed on me!
“System.”
【Yes, Host.】
“How many dragon eggs have I found in total these past two days?”
【Ding-dong!】
【Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a total of 187 dragon eggs this time.】
“……”
“Say that again.”
Lying on the small boat, Xu Chengxian couldn't quite believe the number.
These past two days, he had been led by Da Hei to search almost the entire True Dragon Main Hall complex.
He had reaped great rewards time and time again, yet had to restrain himself from looking too happy.
It was truly exhausting.
It wasn't just during the day, but even the nights were not idle.
He even had to seize every opportunity to devour and refine the dragon eggs whose vitality and aura had already been extracted by the system.
To make room for the newly arrived dragon eggs in his stomach.
“Say it again, how many dragon eggs did I get?”
Every single dragon egg was personally obtained by him and swallowed whole.
Therefore, Xu Chengxian knew that he had found a considerable number.
However, due to swallowing them in batches, the short time frame, and the heavy task, he didn't carefully count each time.
Now, hearing that the total number was close to two hundred, he couldn't help but excitedly confirm again.
【Congratulations, Host.】
【You have acquired a total of 187 dragon eggs this time.】
【Please note, Host, that 6 of them are broken and do not meet the mission standards.】
【Therefore, the Host ultimately obtains 181 dragon eggs containing the bloodline and vitality of the True Dragon race.】
【Congratulations, Host, you will receive Refinement Points * 362】
Glug!
Xu Chengxian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Wuwu!
Mommy, I'm going to make a fortune!
At this moment, his saliva was about to flow from the corners of his eyes.
He almost burst into tears.
It wasn't easy, it was too difficult!
These past two days, these past two days, he had such a hard time!
Tired, tired, so tired!
The past two days.
No, to be precise, it was two days and two nights.
No, that's not right either, it was the past two days and two nights, plus half a night.
That day, after learning from Ling Xiao that they would only stay in the True Dragon Palace for two more days, Da Hei went crazy.
Went mad.
Completely went mad.
In its eyes, there were only dragon eggs that could be exchanged for blood energy.
It didn't care about anything else.
That night, in the second half of the night.
Xu Chengxian had just refined a stomach full of dragon eggs, shrinking his body to a few dozen feet in size to coil up, and was about to adjust to a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Da Hei's divine sense transmission arrived.
However, Da Hei was relentless and even used reverse psychology.
Saying things like if he couldn't find hatchable dragon eggs, wouldn't he be laughed at by his younger sister and brother, to get him to follow.
Moreover, it also said that they were not going to the mausoleum.
But to the True Dragon Main Hall.
It turned out that Da Hei was worried that he would go back on his word and not want the dragon eggs, so it secretly ran out in the first half of the night and searched the nearest main hall first.
If it weren't for being a spirit and unable to leave the magic treasure too far, it would definitely have searched more than just one main hall.
And Xu Chengxian was also worried that Da Hei would see through his disguise, so he wanted to quickly secure the dragon eggs.
The two sides hit it off.
So, they acted overnight.
This half night was spent like a rush harvest.
He was working hard in the front, and Da Hei was nagging and muttering behind him, urging him on.
If it weren't for being a soul body, and having to consume soul power to break the earth's energy before digging things underground, it would have couldn't help but roll up its sleeves and do it.
But even so, after Xu Chengxian dug up the dragon eggs, it would drill down to help get the dragon eggs out.
The purpose was to let Xu Chengxian continue to dig at the next spot.
Shouting in its mouth: "Fifteen hundred! Fifteen hundred! Hey ya! Hey ya! Fifteen hundred!"
All four hooves and one head were used.
It worked so hard!
Several times Xu Chengxian couldn't bear to watch.
But only after half a night, his unbearable heart dissipated cleanly.
Because the next day.
The sky had just begun to brighten.
The dragon eggs he had dug out last night had just been refined clean.
The blood energy in his body hadn't completely calmed down yet, and Da Hei started calling him!
Thinking that although he had been busy for half a night, the harvest was indeed not small.
So with a bite of his teeth, Xu Chengxian still went.
At that moment, he felt like he was a donkey pulling a mill.
After pulling the mill all night, as soon as it was light, he was called out by his partner Xiao Huang (Hei) to dig pits and play in the mud!
Then, he dug in the ground for another whole day!
Fully experiencing the feeling of harvest.
This is not even the end.
In the evening, Da Hei came to call him again!
Considering that every time he went out, the dragon eggs he swallowed could fill his stomach back up, Xu Chengxian went.
Just like that, he was busy day and night.
Busy for two days and two nights, plus half a night.
Since becoming a snake, Xu Chengxian had never felt so fulfilled!
“Hehe ~ slurp ~” He squinted his eyes, lying on his back in the middle of the boat, and couldn't help but grin, revealing a satisfied smile.
Although digging and digging made him doubt his snake life.
But with such a huge harvest, it was worth it for a good snake like him to almost be exhausted like a dog.
Especially when he turned his head and saw the little black sheep belly up, holding a ball of blood energy in his arms, taking a bite and dozing off, he curled his lips in disdain.
Heh.
Little thing.
Are you tired and confused?
You are a battle-damaged artifact spirit, and you want to compare your all-night battle with a snake whose previous life was a human and this life is a snake?
Tsk, you're really thinking too much!
“Old ghost, how many dragon eggs did you find in total?” Ling Xiao transmitted a voice at this time and asked.
“187.” Xu Chengxian didn't hide it and said directly, “6 of them have broken shells.”
It should be said that the dragon eggs here in the True Dragon Main Hall are different from those in the Imperial Mausoleum.
The hardness of the eggshells is not the same.
The reason why he felt so tired was partly because he had to mobilize his blood energy to crush the eggshells.
Sometimes, he even had to use his innate combat skill—Serpent Entanglement.
Of course, these dragon eggs are of better quality, and the blood energy obtained after swallowing and refining them, as well as the improvement of the realm of the soul and body, has also increased accordingly.
Although individually speaking, it is pitifully small.
But with nearly two hundred eggs, accumulating little by little, it is not bad.
At least Xu Chengxian can recover a little bit of his capital.
—He still owes Da Hei a sum of blood energy.
It's not that he can't afford it.
But Da Hei said he could owe it first.
He is trying hard to learn how to be a boss—the things he gives out can definitely be delayed if possible—as far as he knows, dog bosses are like this.
“So many?” Ling Xiao was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Da Hei, and snorted with a smile. “The True Dragon race is completely finished this time.”
She laughed, thinking of the entanglement between the Taotie fierce soul and the Qingyang Demon Emperor.
“It is said that in order to protect the Taotie race, the Qingyang Demon Emperor refined them into the Scarlet Blood Great Array flags.”
“Now, a Taotie fierce soul has cut off the roots of the True Dragon race belonging to the Qingyang Demon Emperor for a little bit of blood energy.”
What a good cycle of cause and effect!
“Could this be retribution is inevitable?”
“This deity is not for a little bit of blood energy!” The dazed Da Hei suddenly jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on. “This deity clearly wants to repay the favor!”
It's just that Qingyang, that guy, has bad luck.
None of the dragon eggs left by the True Dragon race can hatch.
“This can't be blamed on this deity!”
