Chapter 197: Ah? You two are a couple?

Whoo—uh!

Just as Su Hao was thinking whether to make a move and eliminate the black dragon's remnant soul, and take back the Shadow Priest's source crystal.

Suddenly, a gust of yin wind blew out from the giant dragon's skull.

Only see the black dragon's remnant soul floating in midair suddenly drift downwards, falling into the black dragon's skull.

The next moment.

In the eye sockets of the black dragon's skull, two streams of pure black flame ignited.

Seeing this, Su Hao immediately dismissed the idea of making a move, and planned to leave this place quickly.

Just kidding, this black dragon, when alive, had the combat power of a Supernatural Sixth Rank.

Even just the remaining skeleton, its size is terrifyingly huge.

If the black dragon's remnant soul could control this skeleton to attack, even a random impact would be no less than an attack from a Supernatural Fifth Rank.

Now, staying here any longer would be truly dangerous.

More importantly, the black dragon's heart is already in hand; for a Shadow Priest's source crystal, it's not worth taking this risk.

After all, Su Hao is only a Supernatural Second Rank now; even if he obtained the Shadow Priest's source crystal and refined a Fifth Rank Shadow Priest's magic potion, he couldn't use it at all.

So, it's better to run away now while we can.

As for whether the black dragon could revive itself after obtaining these two items, what does that have to do with him?

Moreover, even if the black dragon could revive, it wouldn't immediately have Supernatural Sixth Rank combat power; as long as it's not Supernatural Sixth Rank, Su Hao wouldn't be that afraid.

Just Supernatural Fifth Rank combat power—who doesn't have that?

Anyway, since we can't beat it, we'll just run back to the shelter and cling to Xue Nv's thigh.

For survival, no fear!

As for what happens after the black dragon recovers to Supernatural Sixth Rank, Su Hao actually doesn't care that much.

Given his current growth rate, who knows who will reach Supernatural Sixth Rank first? However, before Su Hao could turn and leave, the black dragon called out to him.

"This human friend, you need not fear; I harbor no malice toward you, and moreover, I no longer have any strength left to harm you."

The black dragon's skull slowly lifted, yet it made no attacking motion.

Su Hao naturally could not relax his vigilance just because of the black dragon's words, and continued to slowly retreat.

However, he currently indeed felt no hostility from the black dragon.

At first, he did feel a faint hostility from the black dragon, which is also why he was unwilling to first hand over the source crystal and the giant egg.

But now, the black dragon shows no hostility, nor any intention to attack, which makes him curious.

Merely, seeing that Su Hao was not in a hurry to leave, the black dragon, unsure whether it truly had no strength left as it said or for some other reason, did not elaborate further, but slowly lowered its head to look at the giant egg before it.

"In the end, after all, this is still the result!"

The black dragon seemed to recall something and sighed helplessly.

The next moment.

The soul fire in the black dragon's eye sockets rapidly dimmed at a visible speed.

At the same time, a black breath spewed from the black dragon's skull's mouth, falling onto the Shadow Priest's source crystal, instantly melting it into a puddle of black liquid.

Immediately after, the black liquid merged with the black breath from the dragon's mouth, wrapping the black giant egg inside, forming a black sphere.

"That human friend, may I ask you a favor? This skeleton of mine also counts as a decent supernatural item; if you're willing to help, I'll give it to you as a gift."

Su Hao:??? What the heck? What's going on with this black dragon? When I just arrived, it clearly had hostility, looking like it wanted to kill me.

Then, inexplicably, that hostility disappeared.

Now, his attitude has shifted again, actually seeking something from me? Could it be that his purpose for those two items isn't revival? If not for revival, why did he go to all this trouble?

Undoubtedly, the black dragon's overall change successfully aroused Su Hao's curiosity.

"What do you want me to do?"

"My origin has been completely exhausted; I am about to return to the Dragon God's embrace."

"I can see that you have many extraordinary qualities, so I wish to entrust my child to you, hoping you can help him survive in this cruel world."

"Ah?"

After hearing the black dragon's plea, Su Hao obviously froze for a moment.

He never imagined that the black dragon did all this for its own child; higher supernatural ranks should be more aloof, right?

It's obvious that the black egg retrieved from the Shadow Priest's hands is a dragon egg.

But the problem is, if Su Hao heard correctly, this black dragon should be male, right……

Could it be that this kind of black dragon is special, being hermaphroditic?

Even if it's a male black dragon, it can still reproduce offspring.

No, no, that's not the point.

The point should be, why is that dragon egg in the Shadow Priest's hands, and even after hundreds of years, the Shadow Priest didn't even destroy it.

Based on the dragon egg's condition at that time, the Shadow Priest seems to have been consuming its own power to incubate the dragon egg in general.

This leaves Su Hao completely confused; the Shadow Priest and black dragon should be mortal enemies, so not destroying the dragon egg would already be good—how could it even help the black dragon incubate the dragon egg? Could it be……

"I know what you're thinking; first hear me out."

The black dragon seemed to notice Su Hao's doubt, he lifted his head and glanced at the sky, muttering: "You're not wrong; the Shadow Priest is the child's mother."

"But all of this was an accident, caused by the Love God's divine power, which ultimately gave birth to this dragon egg."

"However, the Shadow Priest could not accept this, and eventually we waged a great war, both sides ending up on the brink of death."

"After all, the dragon egg is our flesh-and-blood crystallization; although the Shadow Priest could not accept this, she also did not want to give up our dragon egg, so she took it and left here."

"But because both of our supernatural ranks are too high, over these many years the Shadow Priest could only maintain the dragon egg's vitality, yet could not hatch it."

"To hatch the dragon egg, there is only one method: consume both of our origins, using our aged lives to exchange for a new life's birth."

"The facts prove that my idea is correct; our bloodline, as long as it can grow, will become the strongest dragon of the dragon clan; in the future there is hope—if the true form goes to the dragon realm, it will not be a great dragon god!"

"As long as you treat my child well, he will surely give you sufficient reward; I think you will not refuse this matter……"

"The black dragon's voice grew weaker and weaker; finally, after a glance, the dragon egg wrapped in the black energy mass, the soul fire in its skull, completely extinguished."
