My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly!-Chapter 87: Dragon Baby?
Chapter 87: Dragon Baby?
Eryke the Third felt extremely depressed. Although everything made sense, he still was completely unwilling in his heart.
However, that was life. You feel extremely depressed and unwilling, but you must cope with it and go on with it.
"Sigh," he sighed and nodded his head to Eryke.
"Hey," Eryke shook his head with helplessness, "you can still stay here and help me to defeat the Dragon."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Alright." Eryke the Third was excited.
"Let’s go down now."
Eryke looked down at the ground with a frown on his face.
Although his clone could phase through things now, he couldn’t do the same for the things below, so he still has to physically go there.
"For now, you can go to the Martial World. When I need you, I’ll call you back."
"Okay." Eryke the Third vanished.
Afterward, Eryke began digging with the help of his two clones.
It was a troublesome process.
During the day, the sand absorbed the scorching heat of the sun, making it increasingly hotter the deeper they went.
Even with his strength and stamina, by the time he was halfway through, Eryke was already drenched in cold sweat.
He looked ahead and let out a weary sigh.
"This will be difficult."
The three worked in perfect sync, each of their bodies shrouded in a black haze.
"Unfortunately, these two clones already possess mana cores, so sending them to another world wouldn’t bring the same benefits as before."
Each world had its own unique properties, and sending the clones elsewhere could not only yield minimal rewards but might also lead to unforeseen complications.
"Just like Eryke the Second, whom I sent to the Book Taming World, there’s no energy like Qi or Mana there, so he couldn’t form a mana core, or any kind of core at all."
The three worked in seamless harmony.
After about five hours, they came to a halt.
Eryke quietly dismissed the two clones and poked a hole through the surface. A shaft of light immediately pierced through it.
He curiously walked over and looked through it.
There it was—a room filled with treasures and gold, dazzling to the eye.
"Most of this is just gold," Eryke muttered, shaking his head. "Though gold is still a valuable resource, some Awakeners have skills that can literally produce it, so the market’s completely unstable."
He sighed. "Bitcoin is still around... too bad I didn’t get in early."
With another shake of his head, Eryke destroyed the walls surrounding the chamber.
Despite his words, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fascination as he gazed around.
He made his way toward the storage room and began devouring its contents like there was no tomorrow. With his 10x digestion ability, it was effortless, his broken body slowly began to recover, bit by bit.
Giant chicken legs, each the size of ten meters, and wings spanning over fifteen meters were all devoured by Eryke and his clone.
It was a feast for them both.
Finally, Eryke recovered from his weakened state and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thankfully—"
Crack!
A strange sound echoed from outside the room. It was subtle, like the shell of an egg splitting open.
"Wait... could it be?"
He dismissed the clones once more and stepped forward cautiously. Reaching the door, he poked a small hole through it to peek outside.
There it was.
One of the eggs resting at the center of the treasure room was covered in fine cracks.
The fractures slowly spread, inch by inch, crawling across the shell.
Then, with a sudden motion, the entire egg split apart and from within, a small head emerged.
The small head resembled that of a salamander—smooth, sleek, and entirely red.
"That’s... a dragon baby?" Eryke muttered, stunned into silence.
He stared at the creature for a moment, trying to piece things together.
"This dragon... it’s similar to the ones from the Dragon and Telekinetic World, but clearly different."
In that world, dragons often took on human forms for convenience. In fact, if they gave birth while in their human shape, the child would emerge from the egg as a humanoid infant.
As he pondered this, the newborn dragon suddenly let out a piercing cry, its wails echoing off the walls, filling the chamber.
"Umm."
Eryke rubbed the back of his head. "Although that dragon might be my enemy, this baby dragon isn’t."
He retrieved some food from the storage and placed it gently in front of the hatchling.
But even with the food right there, the baby dragon didn’t touch it. Instead, it continued crying, loudly and without pause.
"Is it not hungry... or does it need milk?"
Eryke turned back to the storage room and fetched some milk, which he carefully poured into a small bowl. Setting it down in front of the dragon, he watched eagerly, eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
But strangely, despite the milk being offered so closely, almost dangling in front of it, the baby dragon didn’t drink.
Instead, its wailing grew even louder, echoing sharply through the room.
"What do you want?"
Eryke’s brows furrowed into a deep frown.
He cut the meat into small pieces and tossed one into the baby dragon’s mouth.
The dragon closed its mouth, chewed eagerly, then immediately resumed crying.
"Sigh... fine." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Eryke let out a helpless breath and began slicing the meat piece by piece, feeding the hatchling slowly.
The baby dragon lit up with joy, devouring the meat with relish, forgetting to cry.
Afterward, Eryke offered the milk again, and this time the baby nibbled at it happily, as if it were the best thing in the world.
When the dragon finally settled down, quiet and content, Eryke let out a long sigh of relief.
"Now I can go."
He was about to leave, but his eyes became attracted towards this gold.
Although it didn’t have much of a value to him, there might be some treasures in this crap, maybe an artefact or something, so he immediately started his search and quickly found something that stunned him.
