Under Chen Mo's watchful gaze, Fire Dragon's tightly shut eyes trembled slightly a few times before slowly opening. Its two enormous eyeballs rolled around and fixed directly on Chen Mo!
The savagery and frenzy that had filled Fire Dragon's eyes were now completely gone, leaving behind only confusion and bewilderment.
Yet when it saw Chen Mo, a trace of closeness and filial attachment surfaced in those enormous eyes!
Just like a newborn animal seeing its parents for the first time!
However, Chen Mo knew very well that Fire Dragon had not mistaken him for its parent simply because he was the first person it saw.
This massive beast was no chick or duckling. If he had not used his own psychic power to nurture the seed of consciousness, allowing it to grow and give birth to a new consciousness that formed a close spiritual bond with him like a symbiote, it would never have acted this way!
If anyone else had been standing here when it opened its eyes, their fate would have been entirely different. Most likely, it would have regarded them as food and swallowed them whole!
Yet this "reborn" Fire Dragon was incomparably docile before Chen Mo!
Supporting itself on all four limbs, Fire Dragon rose from the lawn and happily crawled over to Chen Mo. It lowered its head and gently brought its mouth close to him.
Looking at the gaping maw before him, large enough to swallow him in one bite and packed with interlocking sharp teeth, Chen Mo smiled as he raised his right hand and gently stroked its snout.
The armor-like dragon scales were hard and smooth. Since it was a Fire Dragon, the scales were not cold at all, but instead carried a faint warmth that felt quite comfortable beneath his palm!
