Chapter 391: – Dragon Eggs That Were About to Hatch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a unique instinct to pursue divine power.

In this world, not to mention ordinary mortals, even the high and mighty Gods were also fighting for divine power.

The fundamental reason the Gods quarreled and even fought was to garner more believers.

What was the purpose of garnering believers? It was to obtain faith and obtain divine power.

Even the Gods were chasing after it, let alone ordinary mortals.

The pursuit of divine power was the instinct of life.

Therefore, Kalunu did not feel puzzled by the old man’s reaction. He just smiled.

After a while, he sent the old man away. Then, he returned to his office and picked up the battle report.

He looked around and couldn’t help but frown.

It had been more than a year since Dilin came here.

During this one year, as the Kobold tribe expanded, the traces of the Centaurs became clearer and appeared from time to time.

As a result, the battle between the Kobold tribe and the Centaurs became more and more intense.

A battle would break out between the two tribes from time to time. They would fight on the battlefield, and both of them would suffer heavy casualties.

Of course, the Centaurs’ main focus had not been shifted for the time being. They had not noticed the Kobold tribe in the south.

According to Kalunu’s investigation, it seemed that in the area further north, the Centaurs themselves were also fighting with the other races around them, and ordinary people were fighting.

For the Centaurs, this seemed to be a very normal thing.

After all, they were not good neighbors based on their previous behavior. It was very typical for them to fight with their neighbors.

Based on what Kalunu knew, the two powerful forces north of the Centaur tribe were the Taurens and the Boars.

These two races were not weak either. They each occupied a large area and fought with the Centaurs, killing many of their opponents.

Because of these two races, they could control most of the Centaur forces, preventing them from coming to the south to fight the Kobold tribe.

Of course, on the other hand, if they really came to the Kobold tribe, they might not be able to gain any advantage.

To deal with this group of Centaurs, Kalunu had made a lot of preparations.

He had sent people to build simple city walls and defensive facilities in many key places.

With the help of cement, building these buildings was nothing to Kalunu.

After all, the Kobolds under him were not like humans.

If they were human Lords, it would not be easy to order their people around. If they were not careful, it would cause chaos.

But Kalunu was different.

Compared to humans, the Kobolds under Kalunu were much more obedient at this stage. They would work without complaint as long as they had a mouthful of food.

There would not be any problems, and it was equivalent to free labor.

Besides, there were many more of these labor forces. If there wasn’t enough, Kalunu could send people to capture a large number of Kobolds in the desert.

There might not be many other things in the entire desert, but the number of Kobolds was definitely large.

Under such circumstances, as long as there wasn’t a lack of food, the labor force was definitely enough.

A large number of defensive facilities had been built. Even if the Centaurs came, they probably wouldn’t be able to do anything.

After all, their ability in the field might be extremely strong, but no matter what, could they still attack the city?

The Centaurs’ lower body was the body of a horse.

Due to the limitations of the innate structure, the Centaurs were able to move freely in the field. It was effortless, but they could not display their abilities in a siege battle.

Hence, if they dared to take the initiative to attack, it would be a waste of their energy.

Of course, it wasn’t easy for the Kobolds to defeat these Centaurs.

Under the same conditions, the mobility of these Centaurs was simply too strong.

Even if the Kobolds were stronger than them, they wouldn’t be able to catch up with the Centaurs.

This was a severe problem, and to solve this, Kalunu had already thought of various solutions throughout this period.

After finishing the documents in his hands, Kalunu stood up and walked out.

He walked to the front and came to a secret place.

The place in front of him was none other than Kalunu’s laboratory in the city.

Compared to the past, the place in front of them was now much more spacious and luxurious. There were even quite a few assistants helping out in this place.

Some high-precision instruments were also sent over and placed in this place.

And at this moment, a shocking scene was beginning to happen.

In front of them, many Kobold corpses were lying on flat ground. At this moment, they were lying there motionlessly. There seem to be a large number of Kobold corpses.

At a glance, it was estimated that there were over a thousand of them.

Most of them were Kobolds’ corpses that had died in battle. Only a small number had died of illness or death.

However, at this moment, they were all lying there quietly. They had fallen into an eternal slumber.

This was also the order that Kalunu had given earlier.

From a very long time ago, Kalunu had given the order.

After the Kobolds died, their bodies had to be collected and placed in a specific area to be preserved.

This made it convenient for Kalunu to deal with them directly and retrieve the life source within them.

At this moment, Kalunu was about to do the same to these corpses.

Standing on the spot, looking at the Kobold corpses in front of him, Kalunu took a deep breath, then slowly walked forward.

As his body continued to move forward, the Kobold corpses in front of him also changed rapidly.

The originally full flesh and blood began to wither rapidly. At first, it was only a little curled up, but in the end, it completely dried up and turned into a pile of remains.

After Kalunu’s extraction, even the corpses’ bones were softened, and only a pile of remains were left on the spot.

The whole scene looked particularly horrifying.

After a long while, Kalunu finally finished his extraction, and he slowly stopped.

“Hmm. I extracted about fifteen portions of life sources…”

Standing on the spot, Kalunu roughly felt the situation and then concluded.

After these days of practice, he quantified the life source after refining the Heavenly-Devouring Scripture and then set a benchmark based on it.

A unit of life source could be formed after refining the life source from the corpses of about a hundred ordinary Kobolds.

Such a unit of life source was very precious. Suppose a unique method was used to fuse it into the body of an ordinary Kobold slowly. In that case, it could transform the dragon veins in its body and directly transform from an ordinary Kobold into a Kobold with dragon veins like Hechi.

It wasn’t impossible for him to become a Dragon Warlock.

And these Kobold corpses before him, after being refined, formed a total of fifteen portions of life sources.

It was a good result.

Standing where he was, Kalunu recalled what happened the entire year. Then, he walked to the side. Some unique objects were being placed around in the laboratory at the side— they were some unique eggs!

The eggs before him had different colors. Some were black, and some were red. Of course, the most obvious one was the red egg in the middle.

Under the gaze of Kalunu, the red egg slowly blossomed with light. The surface of the eggshell had a variety of detailed textures. At a glance, it looked very complicated and unique. It was like a piece of art, and it was magnificent.

If one touched it with their hands, they could feel the warmth radiating from it. It was very warm.

Vaguely, a feeling of kindness and care came from the egg and surged into Kalunu’s body.

“Are you awake yet?” Sensing the emotions coming from the egg, Kaluru smiled and said.

In front of him, he seemed to understand what he was saying. The giant red egg in front of him flashed with light as if it was responding to him.

Looking at this scene, Kalunu only smiled and didn’t say anything.

Kalunu bought these giant eggs in front of him from all over the world. All these giant eggs had a common characteristic to be placed here in the laboratory— they were all descendants of the Dragons.

Of course, they weren’t weak Dragon descendants like the Kobolds. Instead, they were descendants of Dragons with stronger and purer Dragon bloodlines.

The giant red egg in the center was a Red Dragon Egg.

Kalunu had purposely gathered these dragon descendants’ eggs to be nurtured here.

While they were still hatching, Kalunu would inject divine power into these giant eggs to help them develop, allowing them to become stronger.

Then, he would inject the refined Dragon bloodline origin into these giant eggs to further enhance the bloodline of these giant eggs to a higher level.

After repeated cultivation, the development of these giant eggs was outstanding. The power of their bloodline and the richness of their life source was generally stronger than their own species.

For example, the Red Dragon’s egg in the middle.

After receiving Kalunu’s meticulous cultivation, the bloodline reaction of this Red Dragon Egg was not worse than that of a purebred Dragon, let alone the similar Red Dragon egg.

To a certain extent, it could have broken the original racial boundaries. The bloodline in the body was so rich that it had even reverted to its ancestors. Its bloodline was not inferior to that of a purebred Dragon.

This was the result of Kalunu for such a long time.

“It’s about to hatch…”

After roughly sensing the situation of the giant eggs around him, a smile appeared on Kalunu’s face. From what he could sense, some of the giant eggs in front of him were about to hatch.

For example, that Red Dragon Egg was about to hatch after more than a year of careful cultivation. It was about to descend into this world.

And a Red Dragon would bring a brand new power to the Kobold tribe.

Dragons were mighty creatures. Every part of their bodies was precious materials.

Their scales could be used to make magical items, and their flesh could be used to make potions. Every part of their bodies had unique usage and was very precious.

And the Red Dragon, as a subspecies of the Giant Dragon, also had a similar effect. Not to mention the powerful strength it represented.

Under normal circumstances, an adult Red Dragon was enough to rival a Second Ring opponent.

And if the Red Dragon hatched from the Red Dragon Egg in front of him, its strength would definitely far exceed that of an individual of the same race. Its strength after adulthood would probably be enough to rival a Third Ring opponent at the very least.

This was very powerful for the current Kobold tribe.

After all, at the current stage, although there were many Kobolds under Kalunu, there were not many who could be that strong.

The only few were Hechi and the others.

Hechi and the others activated the Dragon veins in their bodies. After that, they practiced the Knight’s breathing technique that Kalunu gave them and walked on the path of Life Knight in this world. As a result, they had reached the level of one circle.

Previously, Kalunu had brought along the Kobolds in the Kobold tribe with a strong bloodline. He awakened their dragon veins and taught them the Knight’s Meditation Technique.

Due to the advantage of the bloodline now, there were already some Apprentice-level Kobolds in the entire Kobold tribe. Hechi and the others were even First Ring Knights.

But would this really matter?

Behind the Centaurs was a Church, not any mere cults or groups. The power hidden within a Church was undoubtedly mighty— This could be seen from the Dusk Cult.

Even excluding the Dusk Divine Weapon, the Dusk Cult was extremely powerful. Some First Ring practitioners were nothing in the eyes of the Dusk Cult.

It was the same at this moment.

Since an unknown Church was standing among the Centaurs, there was probably a powerful existence above First Ring.

And among the Centaurs, the only existence above First Ring was Kalunu.

Without a doubt, this situation was dangerous.

But if these Dragon eggs could hatch, they would be able to supplement the combat strength of the Kobold tribe significantly, allowing the entire Kobold tribe’s strength to reach a new level.

Of course, this was only one of the possible scenarios.

After all, under the current circumstances, even if these Dragon eggs could be hatched, it would still take an extremely long time for them to mature and reach adulthood.

This was the growth cycle of extraordinary life forms.

A pure-blooded Giant Dragon would need at least a thousand years to grow from birth to adulthood.

In theory, the growth time of the Red Dragons would be much shorter, but it would not be less than a few hundred years.

It would take a long time for them to grow up and mature.

Of course, Kalunu had his way of dealing with this.

The simplest way was to find a world where the passage of time was vastly different from the World of Gods and then send these dragons directly into that world.

After they had spent hundreds of years in that world, he would let them return to this world.

This was the most straightforward way.

“But from this point of view…”

Standing where he was, Kalunu suddenly fell into deep thought. “It seems that I can consider directly sending some excellent Kobolds to another world to gain experience…”

In this way, I can give them the greatest opportunity and time to grow.

The experience of different worlds was the most suitable for training people.

Moreover, because time passed differently in different worlds, this could be used to buy valuable time for the Kobolds to grow up as quickly as possible.

This kind of thing seemed to be very interesting.

Then, after a moment, he turned around and left this place, heading to another place.

As for the thought he had in mind earlier, he temporarily revoked it.

The idea was good, but it still needed some time to implement for the time being.

At the very least, if he wanted to achieve what Kalunu had imagined, the first thing he needed to do was to find a world where the flow of time in the World of Gods was sufficiently large.

And in this aspect, he could only rely on his main body to find it.

After all, although Kalunu could use some of the functions of the simulation, some of the simulation’s functions could only be used by his main body.

Thus, he could only wait.

Of course, if it really couldn’t be done, the Cursed World wouldn’t be too bad.

The flow of time between this world and the World of Gods could be pleasant. Chen Heng had stayed in that world for dozens of years, but only a few months had passed in the World of Gods.

It was equivalent to one month in the World of Gods, which was ten years.

From the passage of time, it was more suitable.

But relatively speaking, the environment of the Cursed World was not suitable for the Kobolds and other Dragon sub-species to enter.

After all, that world was a modern society where only humans existed.

If the Kobolds entered, they would be completely different, and it would easily cause chaos.

If one were not careful, it would cause some trouble.

That world could be considered as Chen Heng’s private land. It was also the main source of his current divine power.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Kalunu did not want to affect the operation of the Cursed World.

Therefore, this world was not suitable.

If he wanted to find another suitable place, he could only wait for the subsequent simulation of the main body.

Of course, at this moment, the most important thing for Kalunu was still the Red Dragon Egg that was about to hatch.

Standing on the spot, he roughly felt the state of the Red Dragon Egg and then estimated the time.

“Two more days?”

This year flashed through his mind, and then he looked at the Red Dragon Egg in front of him and said, “You can rest quietly.”

“Wait for another two more days, and I’ll come here to see you again.” He reached out and touched the Red Dragon Egg in front of him and then said.

Under his gaze, the Red Dragon Egg in front of him flashed and seemed to respond to him.
