Crack—!

Zhou Huai sat up abruptly from his bed.

He stared wide-eyed, unblinking, at the Demon Dragon Egg on the bedside table, which was gently swaying.

Sure enough, he saw the fine cracks appearing on its top.

Old friend, if you keep doing this,

I won't be sleepy anymore.

Zhou Huai's heart pounded uncontrollably.

This little guy, is it finally coming out?

Crack! Crack!

Fine cracks, like a spiderweb, rapidly spread across the smooth eggshell.

A faint, pitch-black Devilish Qi quietly seeped out from the cracks.

The entire Dragon Egg swayed even more violently.

Finally.

“Bang!”

A piece of eggshell, the size of a fingernail, was pushed open from the inside and fell onto the bedside table.

A wet, black little head, covered in fine scales, cautiously poked out from the opening.

On its head, two small Dragon Horns, like nascent sprouts, looked still soft.

A pair of dark golden vertical pupils, filled with the curiosity of a newborn calf, swiveled around, observing this world that was entirely new to it.

When its gaze finally landed on the motionless figure standing by the bed,

It paused.

Immediately, the dark golden eyes erupted with an incredibly joyful light.

“Awoo~”

A cheerful, childish cry rang out.

It struggled, using its head to break more of the eggshell.

Soon, its entire upper body broke free from the confines of the eggshell.

It shook its head and clumsily jumped down from the bedside table.

The pair of fleshy wings behind it, not yet fully unfolded, flapped twice but failed to make it fly. Instead, it stumbled and almost fell.

But it didn't care.

It took four stout little short legs, wobbling but exceptionally determined, and charged towards Moria.

Finally, it plunged into Moria's arms.

Its small head rubbed intimately and vigorously against his chest.

It felt like a clingy kitten.

Zhou Huai immediately switched his consciousness to Moria's body.

A heavy, warm sensation instantly emanated from his arms.

He lowered his head, looking at the little guy who was nuzzling his chest.

It was pitch black, its scales reflecting a dim luster under the light.

A pair of fleshy wings were tightly folded on its back, and a long tail wagged restlessly behind it.

Its size was similar to that of an adult husky.

【Abyssal Demon Dragon】 LV1 (Hell-level BOSS)】

【HP: 250000 / 250000】

Zhou Huai gasped, looking at the breathtakingly magnificent panel.

Hell-level BOSS!

It was actually a Hell-level BOSS!

Zhou Huai couldn't help but recall the Heaven-Defying Abyssal Demon Catfish in the Simon City dungeon.

Just one of them had the power to destroy a city.

And now, he also owned one!

Although it was just a cub.

But it was only Rank one, and its HP was already as high as 250,000!

This was simply outrageous!

Zhou Huai reached out and affectionately stroked the little guy's head.

The palm of his hand felt cold and hard.

“Since you're so black, from now on, I'll call you Little Black.”

“Awoo!”

The little Demon Dragon raised its head, seemingly understanding his words, and let out another joyful cry.

It stuck out its tongue and licked Moria's hand.

It felt like being rubbed by coarse sandpaper.

Zhou Huai smiled.

So, the question was.

How would Little Black level up in the future?

It was an exotic beast itself, so killing other exotic beasts probably wouldn't grant experience points.

Zhou Huai took out his phone and quickly searched on the internal forum for professionals.

Soon, he found the answer.

The most effective way to help one's battle pet grow quickly was through feeding.

Using Heaven And Earth Treasure, or magic crystals, that contained vast amounts of energy.

On the forum, there was a highly clicked post specifically analyzing the daily expenses of the Free Federation's SS-Rank Dragon Knight.

That powerful individual named James, in order to raise his adult Holy Light Dragon, spent millions of great xia currency on magic crystals alone every day.

It was said that his debt at the Federal Bank had already easily exceeded one hundred million.

Zhou Huai's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He could now deeply understand why that guy named Li Qiu had said that raising a Dragon was a very expensive thing.

This wasn't just expensive.

This was simply burning money!

However, magic crystals...

For others, it might be a huge problem.

But for him, Zhou Huai, it seemed... not a big problem?

In his mind, the small mountain of countless magic crystals piled up in the underground cave of the Radiant Alliance reappeared.

It seemed he had to hurry.

He must “steal” as much as possible before the military completely took over that Secret Realm.

As Zhou Huai was pondering, Little Black in his arms had already broken free and jumped back onto the bed.

It looked at the broken eggshell, and its dark golden eyes showed a look of eager desire.

It opened its mouth and took a bite.

Crack!

The eggshell, which was incredibly hard for Zhou Huai, was easily crushed in its mouth like a crispy biscuit.

It chewed a couple of times and then swallowed it whole.

Crack, crack...

The crisp chewing sounds echoed continuously in the room.

The large Demon Dragon eggshell contained the most precious Dragon Clan essence.

In less than ten minutes, Little Black had eaten it all, leaving not even a crumb.

After eating the eggshell, it even licked its lips, still wanting more, and let out a satisfied burp.

The next second.

A dazzling white light shot up from its body.

Its size visibly expanded by another circle.

Now, it looked almost the size of an adult Tibetan Mastiff.

Zhou Huai immediately checked its attributes.

【Abyssal Demon Dragon】 LV3 (Hell-level BOSS)】

【HP: 800000 / 800000】

Zhou Huai's eyes almost popped out.

Just by eating its own eggshell, it went from Rank one to Rank three.

Its HP, moreover, directly surged from 250,000 to 800,000!

As expected of a Hell-level BOSS template.

This growth rate was simply Heaven-Defying!

Now that Little Black was born and had grown so large,

It was obviously no longer suitable for it to stay in the Guild.

Zhou Huai made a decisive decision.

“Come on, Little Black, I'll take you to a good place.”

He controlled Moria and picked up Little Black.

The latter let out an excited cry and intimately rubbed its head against his neck.

Moria took Little Black and once again came to the underground secret room.

One person and one Dragon stepped into the starry shimmering teleportation gate.

... ...

Abyss of Mist.

Inside the mountain hollow.

Intense sounds of battle echoed continuously.

Three hundred members of the Eternal Night Guild were engaged in a desperate struggle with exotic beasts pouring in from all directions.

The exotic beasts in this Secret Realm were generally above Rank 30, and there were even some elite monsters among them.

For Guild members, whose Rank was generally only around ten, it was quite difficult to cope.

If it weren't for Yasuo and Xiang Yu, two great deities, standing like insurmountable mountains, firmly blocking the front line,

The Guild's defense line would probably have collapsed long ago, resulting in casualties.

Just then.

The teleportation gate flashed with light.

Moria, holding Little Black, emerged from it.

Zhou Huai calmly looked at the tragic battlefield before him, then turned his head and patted Little Black's head in his arms.

“Go.”

“Let me see your current strength.”

Little Black let out a high-pitched Dragon roar, as if saying, “Watch me perform.”

It leaped down from Moria's embrace.

Boom!

Its heavy body landed on the ground with a thud.

It was no longer that endearing, clumsy appearance.

From its dark golden vertical pupils, radiated the coldness and majesty of a top predator.

It opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of chilling fangs, and let out an ear-splitting roar towards the chaotic battlefield ahead.

“Roar—!!!!!”

The high-pitched Dragon roar, like rolling thunder, instantly swept across the entire mountain hollow!

The sound contained an unparalleled absolute suppressive force originating from the depths of its Bloodline!

The next second.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

On the battlefield, those exotic beasts, originally fearless and attacking ferociously, trembled violently the moment they heard the Dragon roar.

They stopped all their attack movements in unison.

Their eyes revealed extreme fear and awe. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Immediately after.

“Thud! Thud!”

One after another, the furious exotic beasts, as if their bones had been removed, became weak in their limbs and uncontrollably prostrated themselves on the ground.

They buried their heads deep in the mud, their bodies trembling constantly, not daring to even conceive a thought of resistance.

The # Nоvеlight # entire battlefield, in an instant, fell into a deathly silence.

All members of the Eternal Night Guild stared dumbfounded at the incredible scene before them.

They looked at the exotic beasts on the ground, docile as sheep, and then at the small black Dragon standing not far away, exuding a terrifying aura.

Their minds were a bit slow to process.

Even Zhou Huai himself was stunned by this scene.

He only wanted Little Black to try its hand and see what attack skills it had.

Who would have thought.

This little guy, with just a single roar, directly made all the exotic beasts on the field lose their will to fight.

Good gracious.

Was this the natural oppressive feeling of a Hell-level BOSS towards other exotic beasts?

It was simply... unreasonable!
