Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: The Proud Dark Demon Dragon!

“Furthermore, divine dragons have already disappeared from the Vartas Continent!”

Edith added.

But these words shocked Matthew.

Divine dragons had already disappeared from the Vartas Continent‽

How did he pick up the Dark Demon Dragon Egg then?

Even if there was the Godly Treasure Hunting System, it was impossible to say that it could find something that had gone extinct, right?

This was something to ponder about…

He had picked up the Dark Demon Dragon egg in the Maar Mountains, and it needed to devour darkness materials to hatch.

Coincidentally, Dragon God Village had a piece of Dark Glazed Amethyst!

The Dark Glazed Amethyst had absorbed the black aura from the villagers of Dragon God Village and shed a lot of darkness materials!

It just happened to satisfy the conditions for the Dark Demon Dragon Egg’s incubation!

Everything was too coincidental!

The coincidence was unbelievable!

Could someone have planned all of this?

Even the Dark Demon Dragon Egg and the Dark Glazed Amethyst were arranged by someone?

However, due to the activation of the Godly Treasure Hunting System, the mastermind’s plan was brought forward.

And that youth was one of the executives of the plan…

The more Matthew thought about it, the more horrified he became.

He’d probably fallen into an extremely terrifying scheme.

This conspiracy could even affect an entire continent!

Otherwise, it was impossible for the mastermind to use the extinct divine dragon egg as the foundation for the plan.

How powerful would the person who planned this scheme be?

If Matthew did not mature quickly, then he could only allow others to manipulate his fate.

He was reborn, how could he allow others to manipulate him?

No!

Absolutely not!

Since he had received a new life, he wanted to live a wonderful life that belonged to him!

This strengthened Matthew’s desire to seek treasures.

He would do everything he could to obtain all the treasures he saw.

However, Heber’s improvement was worth celebrating.

At least Matthew didn’t have to fear the youth for now.

If he met that youth again, Matthew was confident he could defeat him.

They both had C-class battle strength. Who was afraid of who!

“Alright, I understand.”

Matthew gathered his thoughts and stopped dwelling on the conspiracy and the issue of the Dragon Knight.

He urged Edith, “Lead the way.”

Edith nodded obediently at that.

At this moment, she wasn’t thinking of scheming anything.

There was no need to think too much about staying with a Dragon Knight.

Then, she took out a card from her exquisite belt.

The back of the card was very cool. The base color was rose red, and a rose gold magic circle was carved in the center.

Edith held the card high and showed its face to Matthew.

There was a white butterfly carved on the front. Its wings were colorful and beautiful.

“Alexia!”

Following Edith’s cry, the card emitted a dazzling white divine light.

When the light disappeared, Matthew saw a three-meter-long butterfly appear in the sky.

This butterfly was exactly the same as the illustration on the card Edith had used.

Could it have come from the card?

Matthew couldn’t help but wonder.

While Matthew was puzzled, Edith leaped onto Alexia’s back.

“Let’s go, honorable Dragon Knight.”

Edith shouted to Matthew.

Alexia followed her master’s gaze and saw Matthew standing on the ground.

When it saw Heber on Matthew’s shoulder, its charming body suddenly trembled.

Matthew could see fear in its eyes.

The divine dragons had a natural bloodline suppression on mutated beasts.

When they saw a divine dragon, they would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Edith and Alexia were telepathic.

She felt her pet’s fear and stroked it gently. “Don’t worry. It won’t hurt us.”

After hearing her master’s words, the fear in Alexia’s eyes faded a little, but it was still afraid of Heber.

Matthew didn’t care about that. It wasn’t like Alexia was his pet.

“Heber.”

Matthew called softly.

Heber immediately spread its wings and soared into the sky. It transformed its body in the air and instantly grew to a hundred meters tall.

At this moment, the fear in Alexia’s eyes reappeared.

The massive Heber was like an insurmountable mountain in front of it, making it feel extremely pressured.

But Heber didn’t even look at Alexia. It just lowered its head and let Matthew roll onto its head.

“Let’s go.”

Over Heber’s head, Matthew said to Edith.

“Oka… okay.”

Edith stammered in reply.

She had seen Heber in this form not long ago.

But at this moment, she was still shaken.

It had been a long time since she had seen such a huge mutated beast.

“Let’s go first, Alexia.”

Edith forced herself to gather her thoughts and speak to her beast.

Upon hearing its master’s order, Alexia immediately flew away.

The pressure from Heber was too great. It wished it would never see this guy again.

Only after flying for a few thousand meters did Alexia heave a sigh of relief. It was as if the heavy burden on its heart had finally been lifted.

“Follow them, Heber.”

Only then did Matthew tell Heber to take off.

Whoosh

Heber flapped its huge wings, creating a violent hurricane that blew the surrounding trees to the ground.

Just taking off caused such a terrifying commotion… Edith looked back at the scene and could not help but sigh.

When Alexia took off, it was very gentle and quiet.

But this also proved the gap between the two, although there were hierarchical differences between them.

“How far?”

It took only a second for Heber to catch up with Alexia.

Matthew shouted from above Heber’s head.

Edith turned back to him. “Three thousand kilometers.”

Matthew nodded slightly and said nothing more.

This distance, to Heber, would only take a few minutes.

However, Alexia didn’t seem to be in a good state. Her flight speed was very slow.

If Heber followed it, it would probably take them half an hour to get there.

A few minutes later, Matthew said impatiently, “Edith, come here. Alexia is too slow.”

Edith’s beautiful eyes flashed with delight.

Was Matthew inviting her to ride the divine dragon?

This, this, this…

How exciting!

Unexpectedly, she could ride a divine dragon!

That was a mutated beast that had already disappeared from the Vartas Continent!

But as soon as Matthew finished speaking, Heber let out a reluctant growl.

Roar!

Heber, who possessed the noble bloodline of a divine dragon, had a proud nature and was unwilling to carry anyone other than its master.

Matthew was taken aback by Heber’s protest.

He had never realized that Heber was so proud before.

Matthew regarded Heber as a companion, and would naturally be concerned with its feelings.

Since it was unwilling, he could only persuade it to agree.

‘Let her come up,’ Matthew said soothingly. ‘Alexia is so slow. Letting her lead will only delay our time.’

Alexia, who felt attacked, expressed its innocence, its eyes filled with grievance.

Unfortunately, neither Matthew nor Heber cared what it felt.

Roar!

Heber still shook its head to show its reluctance. How could the proud divine dragon allow others to ride on it?
