CHAPTER 1557: CHAPTER 1556: A DRAGON EGG HATCHES A CHICK

The three stared, dumbfounded, at the dragon egg. The crack rapidly spread across the egg, branching out extensively.

Soon, the crack covered the entire dragon egg, resembling a cracked chicken egg.

"Quick, put it down!" Long Yi hastily exclaimed.

Wu Zheng also fumbled hurriedly, placing the dragon egg on the stone platform.

"Alliance Leader Su, don’t let go!" Long Yi nervously watched the little turtle in Su Yang’s hand, afraid that he might suddenly drop it and let it devour the dragon egg.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry!" Su Yang firmly held the little turtle, which was still struggling, clearly wanting to eat the dragon egg.

Su Yang would not let it go. The three squatted beside the stone platform, eyes fixed on the dragon egg atop it.

It was obvious that something inside the dragon egg was about to emerge!

Su Yang didn’t understand what caused this dragon egg to hatch suddenly—could it have been frightened by the little turtle?

The cracks on the dragon egg increased, accompanied by faint sounds of collision from within, as if something was knocking against the egg.

Long Yi and Wu Zheng were hopeful; finally, after so much time, the dragon egg was about to hatch!

Finally, under the gaze of the three, a small hole broke open on the dragon egg, revealing a tiny beak.

"What is this?" Wu Zheng’s eyes widened, and Long Yi was equally stunned: "How can there be a beak?"

"Could this little one’s mother be an avian Divine Beast?" Su Yang was also shocked, wondering why a reptile would have a beak.

The dragon egg shook again, and soon, a furry head gently emerged from the breach.

"Why does it have fur?" Wu Zheng exclaimed again; this simply did not fit the characteristics of the Dragon clan.

"What... what kind of offspring is the Great God Azure Dragon involved with?" Long Yi also exclaimed.

The furry head worked hard, finally breaking out the egg—revealing a fluffy little head with shiny black eyes staring directly at Su Yang. Its short beak and small head looked extremely cute.

The three were almost in a daze—this was evidently a chick, showing no dragon characteristics at all!

As the little creature emerged, the little turtle seemed resigned, drooping its head in Su Yang’s hand, eventually retreating its head into its shell, refusing even to look.

By now, the little creature had already leaped out of the shell. Other than its slightly longer tail, it was just like a chick!

The three stared wide-eyed, then Su Yang leaned closer to the other two and whispered: "Are you sure this is the Azure Dragon’s descendant?"

Wu Zheng and Long Yi were also confounded, as this situation was entirely unexpected to them.

"How... how did it hatch a chick?" Wu Zheng exclaimed, astonished.

"But there are clear dragon clan vibes!" Long Yi retorted: "And the vibe is very strong—definitely of first generation descent. How could it hatch a chick?"

Su Yang was speechless—these two treated this egg as a dragon egg, hatching it for hundreds of years, only for it to produce a chick. He would find that hard to accept too!

Meanwhile, the chick paid no mind to the people’s expressions, jumping onto Su Yang shortly after emerging, showing a keen interest in him by bouncing around his body. Eventually, it settled on Su Yang’s shoulder, tilting its head to scrutinize the turtle curled up in its shell, seemingly wondering what it was.

The little turtle seemed provoked by the chick and suddenly extended its head, attempting to bite it.

"Hey!" Su Yang exclaimed in surprise—the chick had just hatched, unable to endure the turtle’s attack. This turtle could injure Terrestrial Immortals!

But unexpectedly, the chick responded quickly; as the turtle reached out, it pecked right on the turtle’s head.

The little turtle promptly withdrew its head, staring at the chick in alarm, evidently having suffered a setback.

Su Yang was stunned—he thought the chick would get hurt but who could have imagined it was so formidable, even pecking the turtle? How could it be so strong right after hatching?

Wu Zheng and Long Yi were also stunned; this was incomprehensible.

The chick hopped around the turtle, seemingly taunting it to come out. But having suffered earlier, the turtle remained hidden in its shell, motionless.

The chick tried but couldn’t get it out, then hopped back to the stone platform, pecking at the shell remnants—its first meal, containing Divine Beast essence, the finest nutrition post-birth.

Su Yang and the two watched in a daze, unable to fathom what was happening.

Clearly, this chick was not ordinary—bullying the turtle right at birth suggested its identity was extraordinary!

The chick soon finished pecking the shell remnants and leaped onto Su Yang’s shoulder again, acting familiar with him.

"What now?" Su Yang asked helplessly, completely unprepared for this scenario.

Long Yi and Wu Zheng exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from outside, even causing the lake surface to ripple.

Long Yi’s expression changed abruptly: "Not good, someone’s attacking the mountain!"

Wu Zheng jumped up: "Quick, let’s take a look outside!"

Su Yang followed the two: "What about this little one?"

"Leave it here; we’ll come back for it," Wu Zheng replied.

Su Yang promptly took the chick down, placing it on the stone platform, but it refused to stay, immediately flying back to his shoulder.

He tried leaving it again, only for it to return repeatedly, leaving Su Yang helpless: "It doesn’t want to stay!"

Wu Zheng and Long Yi exchanged a look and reluctantly said: "Then... then take it with you; be careful not to let it fly around, given the outside situation..."

Su Yang was as helpless, holding the little chick in his hand to prevent it from flying off as he headed out with it.
