Chapter 1048: Thunder Dragon
1048. Chapter 1048: Thunder Dragon (Combined)
Click.
Immediately, the Beast Egg shattered completely.
A snake-like familiar, about thirty centimeters long, with a prominent bump on its head, a deep purple body with yellow stripes, a white belly, and a pair of shiny black eyes, emerged from the egg.
It peered out through the protective enclosure, then its gaze locked onto Qiao Sang.
The Thunder Dragon opened its mouth, trying to make a sound:
"Thun..."
"Thun."
"Thun!"
However, the protective enclosure seemed to have excellent soundproofing. Qiao Sang, still sound asleep, didn't hear a thing.
The Thunder Dragon showed a dissatisfied expression and began to exert itself.
When its face turned red, a bolt of yellow lightning erupted from its body.
For a moment, the entire device was bathed in yellow light.
The protective enclosure remained unharmed.
The lightning disappeared.
The Thunder Dragon panted for breath.
Then it seemed to have an idea. It raised its head, suddenly leaped, and with a powerful jump, the lid of the protective enclosure was instantly pushed open.
The Thunder Dragon's face lit up with surprise. It jumped again, landing on the bed next to Qiao Sang.
It moved closer to her, curling up beside her and closing its eyes.
After about ten seconds, the Thunder Dragon felt something was amiss. It opened its eyes, scanned the room, and its gaze finally landed on Fangy.
It moved closer to Fangy, lying down next to the warm, soft fur.
"Thun..."
The Thunder Dragon, feeling the warmth and softness beside it, smiled contentedly and closed its eyes.
Steel Treasure opened its eyes, glanced at Fangy, then at the sleeping Qiao Sang, and decided not to disturb them. It closed its eyes again.
Time passed, and as the sky turned a deep blue, a black hole appeared in the room.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker, looking exhausted, floated out of the black hole.
It habitually floated over to the nightstand and picked up the mobile phone.
However, the next moment, it saw the open protective enclosure and the shattered Beast Egg inside.
"Xunxun!!"
Treasure Seeker froze, then let out a piercing scream.
The scream echoed throughout the villa.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang jolted awake, nearly having a heart attack, and quickly sat up to check the situation.
"Ice Emperor..." Lulu in the water tank opened her eyes.
"Qingqing..." Qingbao yawned and opened his eyes.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, with a panicked expression, pointed at the protective enclosure.
Qiao Sang looked in the direction Treasure Seeker was pointing and instantly widened her eyes, exclaiming in shock:
"Where's the Thunder Dragon?!"
The egg was broken, but where was the large Thunder Dragon?
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker gestured and called, indicating that the egg was intact when it arrived earlier, but now it was broken, and the Thunder Dragon was nowhere to be found.
"Ice Emperor..."
Lulu jumped out of the water tank, looking serious.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao fully awoke, his expression serious.
At that moment, the soft lights suddenly turned on.
"Steel Blade."
Steel Treasure, standing by the light switch, calmly pointed in Fangy's direction.
Qiao Sang and the others looked over.
Fangy was still asleep, eyes closed.
Beside its belly, a purple snake-like familiar with yellow stripes lay curled up.
Qiao Sang and the others instinctively held their breath.
So the Thunder Dragon was here... Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief.
Ever since she found out that the familiar inside the Beast Egg was a Thunder Dragon, she had specifically looked up information and naturally knew what a Thunder Dragon looked like.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker floated over, curiously approaching the Thunder Dragon to take a closer look.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao did the same.
This time, it unusually didn't cast Gale next to Treasure Seeker.
Lulu glanced at the Thunder Dragon, saw that it was fine, and then turned to jump back into the water tank.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker extended its claws and poked the Thunder Dragon's cheek.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao immediately swatted its claws away, grumbling in dissatisfaction, indicating that it would wake the Thunder Dragon up.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker silently retracted its claws.
It felt that Qingbao's personality had changed a lot recently...
Then, Treasure Seeker seemed to think of something and turned to its Beastmaster, calling out "Xunxun" twice.
It had been saying that the Beast Egg had been moving all along.
Qiao Sang looked at it and said, "You said it was moving, but you never said it was about to crack."
Treasure Seeker: "..."
Qiao Sang picked up her mobile phone, checked the time, and said, "Turn off the lights. It's still early, so we can sleep a bit more."
As soon as she finished speaking, Steel Treasure turned off the lights.
The room plunged back into darkness.
Qiao Sang lay down.
She didn't plan to cover the Thunder Dragon with a blanket.
Fangy had a Flame Body and the Lava Armor Trait. Being near it, the room would be warm, even in icy weather.
The Thunder Dragon must have felt Fangy's warmth and decided to sleep next to it after hatching... Now, the shops outside weren't open yet, so she needed to wake up early to buy some things for the familiar's offspring... She needed to contact Teacher Flauda to help make Energy Pills for the Thunder Dragon, though she hadn't bonded with the Thunder Dragon yet, so she wasn't sure if it would be free... She should also inform Teacher Migala... As Qiao Sang thought, she closed her eyes.
Five minutes later, she opened her eyes and sighed.
She couldn't sleep at all...
Qiao Sang sat up and looked in the direction of the Thunder Dragon.
She saw Qingbao lying next to the Thunder Dragon, while Treasure Seeker was propped up on its claws, lying on its side and staring at the Thunder Dragon.
In the blink of an eye, Treasure Seeker had grown so much... Qiao Sang recalled how Treasure Seeker had emerged from the Beast Egg and gradually grown to its current size. Her heart softened, and she was about to say, "Aren't you going to sleep?" but then remembered that Treasure Seeker didn't need to sleep. Instead, she asked, "Aren't you going to train?"
She knew that since its Evolution, Treasure Seeker had been training at night.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked at its Beastmaster with an expression that said, "Are you a devil?" and called out, indicating that it had just finished training and returned.
Qiao Sang coughed, pretending she hadn't asked that question.
She moved to the side of the Thunder Dragon and watched quietly.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker called out curiously, indicating that when it first hatched, it was smaller than the Thunder Dragon.
"You." Qiao Sang said without hesitation.
Treasure Seeker fell silent.
It was clearly dissatisfied with this answer.
But Treasure Seeker quickly forgot about it and continued to watch the Thunder Dragon, occasionally extending its claws to poke it.
Meanwhile, Qiao Sang picked up her mobile phone and searched for information about Thunder Dragons, but unfortunately, there wasn't much available online.
In the morning, the sky was bright.
Fangy woke up and opened her eyes to see her Beastmaster and Treasure Seeker circling around her.
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy looked puzzled and tried to sit up.
In the next moment, she was pushed back down by Treasure Seeker.
"Don't get up yet", Qiao Sang said.
"Ya Ya?" Fangy looked bewildered.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker pointed ahead and called out.
Fangy looked down and saw a small creature snuggled up against her.
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy was even more confused.
"This is the Thunder Dragon. It hatched last night", Qiao Sang explained.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy was initially stunned, then her face lit up with joy.
What? It hatched!
After speaking, she seemed to realize her voice was too loud and quickly covered her mouth.
But it was too late.
The Thunder Dragon's face twitched, and then it slowly opened its eyes.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker called out excitedly.
It's awake!
Lulu, who had been in the water tank, jumped out and came over as well.
Treasure Seeker stood in front of the Thunder Dragon, looking expectantly.
Qiao Sang pushed Treasure Seeker's head aside and leaned in close to the Thunder Dragon.
It's said that familiars that hatch from Beast Eggs will develop a strong affection for the first creature they see. Last night was too dark to tell if the Thunder Dragon saw clearly. This time, it had to see Qiao Sang first... Qiao Sang smiled warmly and said in a gentle voice:
"You're awake."
The Thunder Dragon blinked its bright black eyes and then smiled, calling out:
"Ting, Ting."
Sure enough, it showed affection for the first creature it saw... Qiao Sang's face lit up with joy, and she opened her arms, ready to pick up the Thunder Dragon.
But at that moment, the Thunder Dragon flipped over, found a comfortable spot in Fangy's arms, and closed its eyes to go back to sleep.
"Fangy"
Fangy's body stiffened, not daring to move.
Qiao Sang lowered her hands and smiled awkwardly, "It's fine, let it sleep a bit more."
She then took out her phone, checked the time, and said:
"Treasure Seeker, let's go out and buy some things the familiar hatchling will need."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker nodded, her eyes glowing blue.
The next second, they vanished from the spot.
About half an hour later, Qiao Sang and Treasure Seeker returned to the room.
"It's still not awake?" Qiao Sang looked at the Thunder Dragon, whose head was buried in Fangy's arms.
"Fangy"
Fangy called out, feeling a bit pitiful. She hadn't moved since she woke up.
Qiao Sang took out a red blanket from the bag she had bought and gently covered the Thunder Dragon, saying:
"Thank you. Go have breakfast now."
"Fangy"
Fangy looked at the Thunder Dragon, hesitating.
"It's fine. This blanket is infused with Fire Energy, specifically for familiar hatchlings", Qiao Sang said.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy carefully moved her body away.
But just as she did, the Thunder Dragon opened its eyes.
"Ting, Ting."
It looked at Fangy, who was trying to leave, and showed a pouting expression.
Fangy hesitated for a moment, then moved back.
The Thunder Dragon snuggled against Fangy, closed its eyes again, and looked content.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Treasure Seeker: "..."
Did the Thunder Dragon see Fangy first when it woke up last night? Qiao Sang wondered.
Suddenly, Fangy’s stomach growled.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment and said, "Why don't you take Thunder Dragon to have breakfast?"
"Fangy."
Fangy imagined holding the baby while eating Energy Pills and felt it wouldn't work.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker had a sudden idea, took off the Ring, and pulled out a rope. He called out, indicating it would be fine to tie it around Fangy’s body.
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao, looking puzzled, called out, wondering why it was necessary to bring the baby. If it cried, let it cry; it would stop eventually when it got tired.
Qiao Sang found this reasonable and immediately told Fangy, "Go eat."
"Fangy."
Just as Fangy was about to speak, his stomach growled again. He didn’t hesitate any longer and teleported to the living room.
"Thunder..."
Thunder Dragon, missing the warmth of its Familiar, opened its eyes and, not seeing Fangy, sat up with a pout.
"Xunxun!"
Seeing this, Treasure Seeker quickly took out the baby milk he had just bought, opened it, and handed it to Thunder Dragon.
"Thunder..."
Thunder Dragon stared at the milk for a moment.
"This is for drinking", Qiao Sang explained.
Thunder Dragon seemed to understand and wrapped its tail around the milk bottle, starting to drink.
It seemed quite well-behaved, unlike the descriptions online... Qiao Sang felt relieved.
Then she remembered something, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Migalateacher’s number.
After a couple of rings, the call was answered.
"What is it?" Migalateacher’s voice came from the other end.
Qiao Sang got straight to the point, "Thunder Dragon has hatched."
The call was abruptly disconnected.
Shortly after, footsteps were heard coming from the living room, getting closer. The door was soon pushed open.
"Surprisingly, it hatched so quickly", Migala said, looking at Thunder Dragon with a surprised tone.
Thunder Dragon, feeling the stranger's gaze, continued drinking the milk while moving closer to Qiao Sang.
"I didn’t expect it either", Qiao Sang reflected, "It hatched while everyone was asleep last night."
Migala approached and examined Thunder Dragon for a moment before reaching out to touch it.
Thunder Dragon’s face immediately fell, and yellow lightning arcs began to appear on its body.
Migala withdrew her hand without changing her expression and concluded, "It seems this Thunder Dragon has quite a temper."
"Does it?" Qiao Sang asked, stroking Thunder Dragon.
Thunder Dragon continued drinking the milk without any reaction, allowing Qiao Sang to touch it.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker also poked Thunder Dragon curiously.
Migala paused for a moment, "It seems this Thunder Dragon’s first sight after hatching was you and the Night Ring King."
"Not exactly", Qiao Sang said, her desire to chat increasing, "I think it first saw Fangy. At the beginning, it stayed by Fangy’s side and didn’t want Fangy to leave."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker nodded in agreement.
Migala fell silent again, suddenly doubting her own charisma.
Qiao Sang continued, "It’s probably because you just arrived, while we’ve been with it for some time."
Migala remained silent, feeling slightly better and tacitly agreeing with this explanation.
Her gaze returned to Thunder Dragon.
Thunder Dragon flicked the empty milk bottle with its tail, setting it down, and then jumped off the bed, moving toward the door.
It hadn’t forgotten the human voice that had doubted it while it was still in the egg. (End of Chapter)
