Is that… even a dragon?

That was the only thought left in Mike’s mind. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

While Mike was completely rooted to the spot, the little tree spirit raised its head and looked at Mike.

“This was the treasure you said we’d get to use for more than a week?”

“…”

Mike was silent.

This was not a treasure at all.

This was simply a symbol of disaster!

Although it did not seem to have anything to do with disaster now, but there was no doubt that this was indeed a dragon!

Looking at the yawning baby dragon licking its claws in front of him, Mike took a deep breath and slowly walked forward.

No matter what, he had to find the dragon scales. Although the giant dragon protecting the dragon egg looked dangerous, the baby dragon still had scales!

From another perspective, the baby dragon was definitely easier to deal with than the dragon!

Coming to this conclusion, Mike became even more determined.

Kill it and take the dragon scale! These were the only words that went through his mind.

Mike walked forward step by step, and the distance between him and the baby dragon became closer and closer. Behind him, the small tree spirit looked nervously at the scene in front of it.

The dragon’s roar from before had long disappeared into the distance, but it still left a deep impression in the small tree spirit’s heart.

It knew very well that the baby dragon inside was very dangerous!

Mike slowly raised his right hand and gently placed it on the Sword of the King at his waist.

He was ready to draw his weapon at any time.

Although Mike could launch an attack while hiding his hand movements, he still needed to hold a weapon.

And now, the baby dragon seemed to be licking the mucus around its body. It looked like… egg liquid.

Could it be that this baby dragon had just broken out of its shell?

Mike thought to himself.

This meant that this baby dragon might not have a strong sense of danger yet.

The best chance to kill it was now!

Mike did not hesitate any longer and immediately pulled out the Sword of the King in his hand. At the same time, he raised his left hand, intending to reach for the Greatsword of Meredith too.

As long as he could successfully active Thousand Shadowed Slashes again, he could win!

He was clearly facing a newborn baby, but Mike’s attitude was still cautious.

The moment he pulled out his weapon, the baby dragon suddenly raised its head and looked at Mike.

Right then and there, Mike’s body stiffened.

He imagined that the baby dragon could use powerful dragon magic on him in the next moment!

There was no time to hesitate!

Mike immediately pulled out the Greatsword of Meredith and began to cast his new skill – Thousand Shadowed Slashes.

The casting time required at least three seconds.

Although Mike did not have to make any movements to lower the baby dragon’s guard against him, there was no way to omit this time.

Knowing this, Mike felt a little regretful. He really should have changed the Thousand Shadowede Slashes into a passive skill.

He was not being careful enough!

One second, two seconds…

Mike silently counted in his heart, his eyes stared at the baby dragon’s big googly eyes.

The baby dragon’s eyes were also looking at Mike, its eyes seemed to have some doubts.

The seconds passed seemed to be extremely long, and Mike’s forehead was even sweating.

Three seconds!

Now!

Mike’s eyes focused, and he was ready to release the Thousand Shadowed Slashes.

As long as he used this move, even if he could not kill the baby dragon, it would be possible enough to cut off a few of its scales.

Even if he was killed by the baby dragon, it did not matter. Once the scales fell, he would have achieved his goal!

Because, when the time came, Mike did not need to come here at all. He only needed to have his clone come here to pick up the scales!

Mike was already excited about the potential success rate. However, right as the skill was about to be released, a baby-like cry came out from the baby dragon’s mouth.

“Mommy!”

“????”

When Mike heard that, he stood still on the spot. He even forgot to use the skill.

When the baby dragon saw Mike’s trembling body, it did not seem to feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, it flapped its little fleshy wings and hopped toward Mike.

When the baby dragon came forward, it did not seem to have learned how to use its wings perfectly. With just a few flaps, it would fall back to the ground due to the gravitational pull.

Yet it seemed to enjoy this activity.

“Mommy, Mommy!”

Although it was a bit like dragon language, it sounded very similar to calling one’s mother in most languages.

The baby dragon seemed to only know how to say mommy now, but this word was enough to express all the meaning it wanted to express.

At this moment, Mike looked at the baby dragon in front of him, and his mind went blank.

Why did it just call him mommy?

What was going on?

Did it recognize me as its master?

The little tree spirit walked over. It looked at the baby dragon, then looked at Mike. After a moment of silence, it asked,

“You… actually have a child?”

“… are you seriously asking me this question right now?”

The corner of Mike’s eyes twitched twice.

There was obviously a misunderstanding!

“I didn’t expect you to be… a woman.” Stone looked at Mike with a changed expression. Although the tree spirit did not seem to have a gender, Stone knew that humans were divided into men and women. It was not just applicable for humans, but most creatures were the same.

He had always thought that his good friend was a man, but he did not expect him to be a woman!

Mike held his forehead helplessly and said, “No, no, no, I’m not a woman, I’m a man.”

At this moment, the baby dragon had already pounced over and hugged Mike’s calf.

“Mommy! Mommy!”

“…”

When that happened, Mike suddenly felt that his explanation was a little unconvincing. Although he did not know why it had become like this, the truth was right in front of both of them.

The baby dragon seemed to have taken Mike as its mother since the first creature it saw was Mike.

Mike looked at the baby dragon in front of him and hesitated for a moment. Then, he bent down and stroked the baby dragon’s head.

The baby dragon seemed to enjoy being stroked by its mother. It rubbed its head gently against Mike’s palm.

Although it had dragon horns on its head, they were not sharp because it was too young. Instead, they were rather cute.

While they were interacting, a dialog box popped up in front of Mike’s eyes.

Would you like to tame the baby dragon as a pet?

Mike’s eyes widened when he received the notification.

Could he really tame the baby dragon as a pet?!

Without any hesitation, Mike immediately chose to press the yes button!

A dragon!

Could there be a better pet than this?

The moment Mike made his choice, a faint white ball of light seeped out of the baby dragon’s forehead and slowly flew toward Mike. This ball of light seemed to represent some kind of bridge of connection.

As long as this ball of light flew into Mike’s body, Mike’s mind and the baby dragon’s mind could communicate with each other.

In other words, they could communicate with each other with just a thought and no longer have any language barriers.

When the ball of light entered Mike’s body, Mike immediately found that he could clearly feel the dragon baby’s thoughts.

However, when he heard the request of the baby dragon… Mike could not help but scratch his head…

“Mom, I’m hungry, I want breast milk.”

“…. Where the heck am I going to get you breast milk!”
