CHAPTER 1556: CHAPTER 1555: DRAGON EGG

Long Yi and Wu Zheng had originally thought about forcing these guardian beasts to retreat, but seeing the current situation, the two of them saved some effort.

Of course, their hearts were even more excited and shaken.

This is the true Azure Dragon bloodline, even those guardian beasts can feel it, which shows the strength of Little Turtle’s bloodline.

Wu Zheng took two steps forward and let out a quiet whistle.

Soon, waves began to ripple across the lake, as if some huge creature was about to emerge from the water.

"This is the leader of those guardian beasts. We brought this leader here initially, only then were the guardian beasts willing to peacefully guard this place!" Wu Zheng explained, "This leader has stronger divinity, so it can communicate. If we want to go to the central boulder, we need this leader’s permission."

Su Yang watched the water’s surface as a gigantic guardian beast slowly rose from the water. This leader was much larger than the previous guardian beasts, its body at least five times the size of the others, truly a behemoth.

The combat strength of the previous guardian beasts was already quite formidable, and the leader’s combat strength would be even more terrifying.

"This leader possesses dragon family abilities, capable of single-handedly killing Terrestrial Immortals!" Wu Zheng said.

Su Yang couldn’t help but be shocked; this leader’s combat strength was indeed exceptional.

However, the leader’s majesty didn’t last long, as it suddenly spotted Little Turtle flying in the air. It clearly hesitated for a moment before immediately crawling to the shore and kneeling respectfully on the ground to Little Turtle.

Little Turtle found this amusing, flew directly over, and landed on the leader’s head, looking around arrogantly.

The leader dared not move at all, lying on the ground like Little Turtle’s mount.

Su Yang was speechless for a moment, this little guy sure is interesting!

Beside him, Long Yi and Wu Zheng also watched in awe. Even when they came over, they had to be polite to the leader; this was their first time seeing the leader act with such deference!

"Looks like we don’t need to discuss with the leader this time!" Wu Zheng chuckled.

"Let’s go, let’s first take a look at that Dragon Egg!" Su Yang said.

The group walked to the lake, about to go into the water when Little Turtle saw Su Yang about to leave, immediately flew over, and landed on Su Yang’s shoulder.

The guardian beast leader was lying on the ground, and when Little Turtle suddenly flew away, it hesitated and immediately raised its head. Seeing Little Turtle on Su Yang’s shoulder, it was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted it and let out a low roar.

Several guardian beasts immediately floated to the surface, came to Su Yang and the others, and lay down as if offering themselves for Su Yang and the others to step onto.

"What does this mean?" Su Yang asked in astonishment.

Long Yi and Wu Zheng were equally shocked, with Long Yi whispering, "They... they seem to want to carry us across."

"Oh?" Su Yang smiled, "That’s quite nice; otherwise, we’d have to swim over!"

Su Yang said, stepping directly onto a guardian beast. That guardian beast swiftly slipped into the water and indeed carried Su Yang, slowly swimming towards the central boulder.

Long Yi and Wu Zheng exchanged glances; they had never received such treatment before. Previously, when they visited this place, after obtaining the leader’s permission, they had to swim across since using power was prohibited, not even treading water was possible.

Every time they reached the central boulder, they were drenched and couldn’t use magic to dry their clothes, utterly embarrassing.

Today, they actually received this kind of treatment, thanks entirely to Little Turtle. If Little Turtle weren’t here, these guardian beasts wouldn’t bother with them!

Three guardians carried the three of them, while a group of other guardian beasts escorted them, seemingly providing protection.

Little Turtle lay on Su Yang’s shoulder, proudly gleeful.

Soon, everyone arrived at the location of the central boulder.

Su Yang and the others stepped onto the boulder, and Su Yang immediately felt a warm aura, even Little Turtle on his shoulder yawned comfortably.

"This is an environment we specially arranged. We’ve hatched a few dragon eggs here before with great success." Long Yi said, "But this Dragon Egg has been here a long time, and still hasn’t hatched; quite strange!"

Su Yang also saw the Dragon Egg, placed in the middle of the stone platform. This Dragon Egg was not large, about the same size as the egg Little Turtle hatched from. The egg shell emitted waves of light, with strong divinity, equaling the divinity of Little Turtle’s egg.

Undoubtedly, this is another powerful Divine Beast, likely the offspring of the Azure Dragon and another Divine Beast.

Su Yang didn’t know what conditions were needed to hatch this Dragon Egg. He wanted to ask some questions, but Little Turtle suddenly flew over.

This little guy had fixed its gaze on the Dragon Egg ever since reaching this boulder, even drooling.

Now it suddenly flew over, directly rushing toward the Dragon Egg on the stone platform, using all claws rapidly.

In front of everyone, the little creature opened its mouth wide and firmly bit into the Dragon Egg.

Su Yang: "..."

Long Yi: "..."

Wu Zheng: "..."

The three were momentarily stunned but quickly reacted, almost simultaneously rushing forward.

Long Yi and Wu Zheng hurriedly grabbed the Dragon Egg, while Su Yang held down Little Turtle.

What nonsense, this is a Dragon Egg, are you planning to have it for breakfast? You’re about to eat your brother!

Little Turtle seemed quite dissatisfied with everyone’s reaction, struggling while stretching its neck and opening its mouth as if it wanted to swallow the Dragon Egg whole.

Long Yi and Wu Zheng were both startled, tightly holding the Dragon Egg, and looked at Little Turtle in shock.

"Alliance Leader Su, what... what’s going on here?" They both asked in astonishment.

"This little guy’s just a glutton!" Su Yang said awkwardly, pressing down on Little Turtle and flicking its head.

Little Turtle winced, turned to look at Su Yang, green pea-like eyes filled with confusion, clearly not understanding why Su Yang wouldn’t let it eat the egg.

"There’s your brother or sister inside; how can you just eat it?" Su Yang said, "You should protect your siblings, understand?"

Little Turtle looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding Su Yang’s reasoning, still staring longingly at the Dragon Egg.

Just then, the surface of the Dragon Egg suddenly emitted a faint sound. Immediately, a crack spread quickly across the surface of the Dragon Egg.
