Chapter 767: Chapter 0764: Little Bird (Fifth Update, Alliance Hierarch Extra 7/56)

Crack!

The bird egg finally cracked open, and a tender little bird poked its head out from the crevice. It was hairless, its skin purplish-red, but its eyes were already open.

A pair of bird eyes were very lively.

Immediately after, a second little bird stuck out its head, and then a third little bird followed suit.

In just a short while, all three little birds had broken out of their eggs, chirping noisily in delight at their new lives. They slowly began pecking at their eggshells, their half-inch long beaks agile and sharp, crunching on the eggshells as if nibbling on biscuits.

...

“Li Si Te, the little birds, Flame Dragon Birds, are so ugly, haha!” Ani danced joyfully, flying around the nest. “Eh, look quickly, they’ve grown feathers!”

Li Si Te didn’t need Ani’s reminder.

Remaining in Dragon Rider Mode, Li Si Te had been observing the new-born Flame Dragon Birds with the vision of Dragon Eye Trajectory, and he was well aware of the changes happening to their bodies after eating the fire attribute mana-rich eggshells. Those shells had all turned into magic power, helping them to condense feathers one by one.

The clearest was the condensation of the tail feathers; seven still weak tail feathers materialized in a different form within Liszt’s perception.

“So this is how tail feathers are born… the fusion of soul and magic power, Flame Dragon Birds are combining their souls with their tail feathers. It’s like how legends say dragons conceal their souls within their teeth, and Super Dragon Beasts also choose to hide their souls in some part of their bodies.”

The Thunder Attribute turtle had chosen its shell, and the Flame Dragon Birds had chosen their tail feathers.

Liszt had many realizations, but still felt it wasn’t enough: “Something is still missing. I can’t see the fusion and transformation of soul and magic clearly enough! I need more Flame Dragon Birds; I need more Super Dragon Beasts to peek into the secrets of the soul!”

He had always disliked touching upon souls, feeling it was a desecration of life.

But it was at this moment that he realized his lack of understanding of the soul was preventing him from grasping the higher secrets of life— perhaps the fusion of soul and magic was part of the cultivation process following becoming a Dragon Knight.

“It seems I still have to fund magicians to research the soul… But there’s no rush, I’m still young with time to spare, I can explore the secrets of the soul later!”

In the midst of his contemplation.

The three little Flame Dragon Birds had eaten their eggshells and sprouted fresh, bright red feathers, each about the size of a rooster but with slimmer bodies and more abundant feathers. Compared to the imposing adult Flame Dragon Birds, these little birds were cuter.

“Caw!”

“Caw!”

“Caw!”

Having consumed their eggshells and grown feathers, the three little Flame Dragon Birds immediately flapped their wings, eager to fly. After a few trial flights inside the nest, they flapped their wings vigorously and took to the air, at first wobbling and nearly falling, but after some distance, they mastered the skill of flight and began circling the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree.

A moment later, the three little Flame Dragon Birds suddenly flew beside Little Fire Dragon Leo, merrily flying and calling around him.

Ani joined them, laughing along with the little birds.

“Oh, roar!” Leo released Dragon Might, and instantly, the three little Flame Dragon Birds were frightened and plopped down to the ground, while only Ani, accustomed to the Dragon Might, wasn’t stunned by it.

After falling to the ground, the three little Flame Dragon Birds quickly got up and flapped their wings to fly again. Despite just having hatched, they were very robust and weren’t injured at all. However, Leo continued to release Dragon Might, making it impossible for the three birds to take flight.

Even under the oppression of Dragon Might, they showed signs of fainting.

“Withdraw your Dragon Might, Leo,” Liszt couldn’t bear to see Leo bully the fledglings. Having just had its malevolent thoughts dispelled, Leo was obedient and immediately withdrew its Dragon Might, drooling at the three little birds — it still wanted to eat; the Flame Dragon Bird was a great tonic for it, and the temptation was hard to resist.

However, the little birds took Leo as their parent and immediately flew up to continue circling around Leo.

“Oh-ho.”

Leo’s saliva dropped, quickly evaporating into steam — it was suggesting the little birds came to it on their own.

“They like you, and you can’t eat them. I’m going to raise them… Come back inside, Leo,” Liszt, worried that the little birds would continue to trigger Leo’s evil thoughts, simply had Leo return to his body.

Leo disappeared.

Yet, the little birds seemed to still sense Leo’s presence and began circling around Liszt again. He stretched out his hand, and immediately a little Flame Dragon Bird landed on it, chirping at him incessantly.

“Liszt, the little birds are so cute,” Ani said with a chuckle as it landed on his shoulder.

“So, Ani, have you seen what Flame Dragon Birds eat?” Liszt asked, guessing the little birds were probably hungry as they kept opening their mouths.

Without parents to feed them, Liszt had to do it himself.

“Large snakes, large cats, large lizards, large birds…” Ani went through the list with his stubby fingers, naming the creatures Flame Dragon Birds had been seen eating, mostly magical beasts or wild beasts, carnivorous birds with no particular dietary specialties.

He promptly took out a piece of Magical Beast Meat and tossed it to one of the little birds.

The little bird caught the Magical Beast Meat with its mouth, smacked its lips, and swallowed it down, then continued to open its mouth wanting more. The other two flying little birds also landed on his arm, vying for the Magical Beast Meat. Liszt found it quite novel to feed the three little Flame Dragon Birds, but he couldn’t help but think of another bird.

The Wind Falcon Juan Fu.

The low-level magical beast that refused to submit to him had flown off to unknown parts, never to be seen again.

“I hope you three won’t turn out to be ingrates that fail to show appreciation regardless of how much they’re nurtured.” After feeding them for a while and seeing that the three little birds had eaten their fill, he prepared to return to Flame Number and took the three little birds back to his territory on the way.

With this development, Ani grew lonely. Apart from the slumbering Light Green Gemstone Dragon, there were no other creatures on the island to keep it company.

“Ani, the Dodo Island Volcano is about to enter dormancy, and the concentration of Fire Attribute Mana here will decrease, so you might want to transplant your Cordyceps and move back to Black Horse Island,” he said.

“Huh?” Ani tilted its head, wavering in indecision.

It liked places full of Fire Attribute Mana, as well as the three little Flame Dragon Birds, and it liked Leo even more. However, once the Dodo Island Volcano went dormant, all of this would be gone. But for the moment, Dodo Island still had a strong presence of Fire Attribute Mana, making it hard to let go.

Sensing Ani’s dilemma, Liszt didn’t press further, “Then you can stay here for now and move after the Dodo Island Volcano enters dormancy… Don’t worry, when I establish my kingdom, I’ll definitely choose to build my palace on a volcano, and you can plant your Cordyceps right beside the palace!”

With the presence of Fire Dragon Leo, volcanic eruptions posed no threat to Liszt, as Leo would suppress the magma — a grown Fire Dragon could easily control the lava and volcanoes.

Building a palace on a volcano would undoubtedly be a miraculous and stylish feat.

Of course, the local climate might be a serious issue — no one would want to eat and sleep next to a furnace, so all that would have to wait until after the establishment of the kingdom.

Waving goodbye to Ani, Liszt returned to Flame Number with the three little birds.

Ach immediately controlled the Water Tornado, lifting Flame Number, and they set off back to Black Horse Island.
