Beast Taming: Picking Up a Holy Dragon Egg at the Start

"The goods are in hand, time to head back!"

Chen Xuan urged the Holy Light Dragon to fly back toward Holy Dragon Village.

"Right, those two guys!"

Chen Xuan recalled Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen on the stone platform.

Holy Dragon Village was very small.

Chen Xuan knew everyone in it.

Naturally, he recognized these two as hunters from the village.

The next moment!

A gust of wind swept past.

"What, what's going on!"

Everything happening before them was far too sudden.

Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong hadn't even reacted.

Before they knew it, they found themselves at the base of the platform.

As for the Wind Wolves beneath the platform, they had long since been driven off by that Phoenix.

"Those Wind Wolves are far away now, you can head back!"

A low, magnetic voice reached their ears.

"Are we dreaming?"

Staring at the now-empty valley.

Li Cong rubbed his eyes and said.

"Idiot, what dream? It must be the Lord Beast God and the Holy Dragon showing their power!"

Deng Xiuwen looked at the valley that had been reduced to ruins around them.

"Right, it must be the Beast God showing his power!"

"Thank you, Lord Beast God!"

The two knelt excitedly in the valley, bowing.

After a long while, they got up and walked toward Holy Dragon Village.

"There are plenty of Wind Wolf carcasses here—the village will have enough food now!"

The two grinned as they looked at the freshly dead Wind Wolf bodies scattered around.

"Will we run into any danger on the way back?"

"Nonsense! The Lord Beast God and the Holy Dragon are watching over us from the heavens—nothing will happen!"

The two walked farther and farther away.

And beneath the clouds.

Chen Xuan and the Holy Dragon's figures slowly emerged.

"Obsidian Shadow Gamma, follow them and protect them in secret."

Whoosh!

The next moment!

A shadow shot down from the clouds and vanished into the darkness.

Chapter 10: Obsidian Shadow Gamma

"Hahaha, Holy Dragon Village, we made it back safe!"

"Haha, see? I told you, we were protected by the Beast God and the Holy Dragon from above—we'd come back safe!"

At the entrance of Holy Dragon Village.

The villagers exchanged bewildered glances.

They saw two men in tattered rags, looking like beggars, laughing loudly at the gate.

It was Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen.

They had traveled without a single obstacle.

Not even encountering a single dangerous animal along the way.

On any normal day, that would be unthinkable.

But!

Today, Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen were certain it was their Beast God and Holy Dragon.

Watching over the people of Holy Dragon Village from the heavens.

They had no idea that a shadow had split off from their own shadows.

Heading straight for the Holy Dragon Dojo.

"Wen'er, Cong'er, it's you!"

"Thank heavens, why did you two run off for so long before coming back!"

A figure ran out, her voice laced with surprise.

It was Deng Xiuwen's mother, Ma Danian.

The worry in her eyes only relaxed after she saw that her son was safe and sound.

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine!"

"That's right, Ma Danian, not only are we fine, we even turned misfortune into fortune. Look at what we have!"

Li Cong raised the Wind Wolf corpse behind him.

"Th-this many Wind Wolves!"

Even though the two of them usually hunted Wind Wolves for a living.

Ma Danian had never seen them bring back so many Wind Wolves before.

She was stunned on the spot.

"This is a gift from Lord Beast God and the Holy Dragon!"

Li Cong's face was full of a brilliant smile.

"Beast God? Holy Dragon?"

Ma Danian was completely bewildered.

The other villagers, seeing so many Wind Wolf corpses, and hearing the words "Beast God" and "Holy Beast,"

also gathered around out of curiosity.

"Let me tell you..."

Seeing that everyone's attention was caught, Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen, brimming with pride and smugness, began to recount the events of the past two days in vivid detail.

Naturally, they didn't skimp on the embellishments.

Bursts of shock erupted from the crowd.

In the backyard of the Holy Dragon Dojo, Chen Xuan was tending to the Spirit Herbs and Fruits.

The Harvest Fairy was swinging on a large tree beside him, humming the Song of Harvest.

The entire backyard of the Holy Dragon Dojo felt like a season alternating between spring and autumn—

sometimes warm, sometimes swept by a cool autumn breeze.

"Is that so? They've both returned safely."

Seeing the returning Shadow Gamma, Chen Xuan had already learned the news about Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong from it.

"Then let's begin the evolution!"

"This thing is yours as a reward, Shadow Gamma!"

"Kakakaka!"
