Chapter 773 - naughty child
In the end, Jose underestimated the strength of the Black Dragon Duke. It gently pulled the corner of Jose’s clothes, and Jose had no choice but to bend down.
When the white bird flapped its wings, it was already too late. The Black Dragon Duke’s hands caught the white bird at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye.
When Jose had no time to pull the white bird back, in the blink of an eye… The black dragon Duke stuffed half of the White Bird’s body into its mouth.
Its cheeks instantly bulged. Joshua could only see the white bird’s legs kicking in the air, and its wings were struggling.
A large pile of feathers fell from its wings.
“Holy tree!”
The three elven elders were instantly scared silly. Elder Enya was the closest to the Black Dragon Duke. When he wanted to step forward and save the White Bird from the Black Dragon Duke’s mouth, everything had already been settled.
The black dragon duke bit off his sharp teeth. Jose could only hear the sound of something breaking. The lower half of the White Bird’s body, which was still kicking, fell into the black dragon Duke’s hand.
This half of the body did not have any blood oozing out. Instead, some starlight spread out from the irregular cross-section of the body.
“Lord Ridley, it is the holy tree that you once protected.”
Elder Enya could not offend the guardian of the Holy Tree. At this moment, all she could think of was to dissuade the Black Dragon Duke.
The Black Dragon Duke ignored elder Enya. His cheeks were still bulging as he continued chewing.
Joshua heard the sound of it chewing. It sounded like it was chewing on glass. The crisp chewing sound lasted for two seconds before it swallowed the thing in its mouth.
“Ridley…”
Before the other high elf elder could make a sound, the black dragon Duke put the remaining half of the white bird into its mouth.
When it ate the white bird, Joshua felt like he was eating a soft potato. The White Bird’s body was very soft, and it looked unexpectedly… appetizing?
When it chewed in its mouth, it made a clear cracking sound.
After the Black Dragon Duke finished eating the White Bird’s wings, it began to eat the rest of its body.
In the end, elder Enya seemed to be in a daze as she knelt on the ground and stared blankly at the Black Dragon Duke swallowing their holy tree bit by bit.
When the Black Dragon Duke finished eating the white bird’s sweet potato, the ground under Joshua’s feet began to shake.
“Is it really going to collapse? Isn’t that White Bird a clone of the World Tree?”
The reason Joshua could calmly watch the black dragon eat the White Bird as a snack was because the white bird was only a small clone of the world tree.
“I don’t know…”
Elder Enya shook his head with a dull expression.
Usually, when the High Elves saw the World Tree’s incarnation in the tribe, they would not even have time to bow. How could anyone possibly eat the World Tree’s incarnation… it could no longer be simply described as blasphemy.
“This isn’t the vibration caused by Arthur Crow’s descent.”
Elder Quitoan was the calmest of the three elf elders. He quickly ran to the window in the corridor.
“Sunlight?”
Joshua immediately opened the window in the corridor and looked up.
The forgotten land was originally covered by a huge rock wall. There was only a crack in the center, and sunlight would shine through the crack into the forgotten land.
But now, the rock wall above the forgotten land was slowly approaching the ground on both sides..
The ruins once again received the sunlight. For a moment, Joshua was not used to the light outside.
Another white bird flew in from the window and landed on Joshua’s shoulder again.
“Ridley’s return has given me more authority to control this city.”
The white bird adjusted its feathers and explained to Joshua as if nothing had happened.
“I can now make this city do more things,”the White Bird said.
“Holy Tree, are you alright?”
Elder Enya stood up with tears in her eyes when she saw that the white bird was safe and sound. However, her excitement did not last long when the black dragon Duke standing behind Joshua suddenly jumped.
The height of its leap easily bit the tail of the white bird on Joshua’s shoulder like an agile crocodile. Before Joshua could react, there was only a feather left on Joshua’s shoulder.
“Lord Ridley!”Elder Enya saw that the black dragon Duke’s cheeks were bulging again, and the White Bird’s short legs continued to kick around in the air, his mental state was a little broken. “Please stop treating the holy tree as your own food!”
The Black Dragon Duke did not listen to elder Enya’s dissuasion at all. He began to enjoy the white bird’s sweet potato just like before.
“Don’t worry, Enya.”
Another new white bird stopped by the open window. This time, the white bird did not seem to want to be eaten by the black dragon, so it did not choose to stop on Joshua’s shoulder.
“Holy tree, are you really not injured in any way?”Elder Enya looked at the Black Dragon Duke eating the white bird’s ‘corpse’with fear and trepidation.
The clone of the previous World Tree was still left with a small half of its wings in the black dragon’s hand.
“Ridley has been corroded by the gray fog for too long. My energy can dilute the gray fog in its body and heal its weak body,”the White Bird said.
“UH… can we use a more peaceful method to transfer energy?”
Joshua held the feather that fell on his shoulder from the previous white bird’s corpse. He was also frightened by the black dragon Duke’s attack just now.
No matter how young it looked, it was still a dangerous black dragon. It was definitely at the top of the food chain in this world.
At this time, the Black Dragon Duke had already run to the window and looked up at the white bird standing on the window. It seemed that it was not full yet and was ready to catch a third bird to fill its stomach.
“I’ve checked its body… Ridley did not forget its memories.”
At this time, the black dragon had already climbed onto the windowsill and was ready to jump. Jose quickly grabbed its waist and carried it back to the ground.
Fortunately, the black dragon did not struggle much. Otherwise, the window might not be able to be preserved.
“Ridley’s memory has been erased, leaving only a small portion.”
The white bird quietly looked at the black dragon that acted like a child, and its words revealed a hint of sadness.
“It will not think of us anymore. More directly, it is a newborn that has inherited Ridley’s body and soul. We need to guide it, such as teaching it how to hunt.”
“The first thing to teach a child is how to behave in the world, right? What the hell is hunting… uh… I don’t have much of a say in teaching a young black dragon.”
Joshua understood what the world tree meant. Although the Black Dragon Duke’s body was close to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years old, his consciousness was similar to that of a child.
“We don’t have any experience either, but Ridley is still acting according to his own instincts. The first thing to do is to clear the gray fog in its body and reconstruct the emotions in its body. Then, it’s its consciousness.”
While the white bird was speaking, the black dragon that was carried down by Joshua jumped up on the spot, followed by the sound of glass shattering and a few feathers falling down in front of Joshua.
