Chapter 256 - Dragon Eater (1/2)
The fragrant roasted dragon meat was ready. Roy threw two of the three infant dragons to Fat Tiger, leaving one for Julia to share with him. As for Cassandra and Giovanni, how could they be interested in these roasted suckling dragons? They could not even eat them at all.
After getting the food, Fat Tiger immediately ran to the side happily to enjoy it, while Roy pulled off a thigh and handed it to Julia. He pulled off a dragon wing and threw it into his mouth to chew.
Due to his strong bite force, Roy was now chewing and eating the meat and bones together. Unexpectedly, it was exceptionally delicious like this. The infant dragon’s wings had not fully developed, and when it was alive, it could only fly at low altitudes for short distances. Now that Roy had roasted it, he felt as though he was chewing crisp bones in his mouth. Moreover, the meat was very springy, and the juice inside was very rich after being roasted. It tasted extremely delicious.
While eating, Roy thought that it would probably be better if he had marinated it with a little bit of Orleans sauce. Roasted Orleans dragon wings…
Once his appetite got going, Roy ate quickly. The infant dragon over a meter long with a weight of over fifty kilograms, Roy ate most of it alone, and Julia ate the rest.
Julia threw a piece of infant dragon bone on the ground, licked her fingers, and smiled while wishing for more. “This is the first time I’ve eaten dragon meat. I only saw stronger dragons in the worlds I’ve been to before. I might not have even been able to beat them, much less eat them… I didn’t expect roasted dragon meat to be so delicious.”
Roy took out Frostmourne and used the tip of his sword to pick his teeth. He said in satisfaction, “It should be said that infant dragon meat is delicious. The meat of adult dragons will be tougher and probably very dry and hard to chew… But we can also try. Maybe stewing them won’t be bad.”
“Okay, if there’s a chance, let’s get some more to eat!” Julia said with a smile. Fat Tiger looked up at Julia and barked happily. It seemed that he agreed with his mistress’s proposal.
Giovanni listened from the side and broke down a little. When Roy was roasting the meat, he had been very uneasy and kept looking up at the sky, afraid that the infant dragon’s parents would come back. Now that he saw Roy and the others had finished eating, he wanted to urge them to hurry on the journey. But he did not expect that Roy and the others were not anxious at all and already talking about dragon meat…
“Your Excellency Osiris…” Giovanni said helplessly. “I have to remind you that if you don’t want to anger the dragon race, it’s best not to have such thoughts…”
But Roy glared at him. “Why? Don’t tell me that dragons have never died in battle in your world!”
“Even if they died in battle… their enemies might not necessarily eat their corpses!” Giovanni was very speechless.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Roy snorted. “Won’t other demons eat them? Also, won’t those behemoths? Moreover, even if other races don’t eat the corpses of dragons, they will use the corpses for dragon scales, dragon blood, and other materials. Where do you think those things came from?”
“Uh…” With these two examples, Giovanni had nothing to say because Roy was right. Demons and behemoths ate dragon meat, especially the latter. Behemoths had always been known as the natural enemy of dragons. These giant beasts, who were also mythical creatures, generally ate dragons directly after killing them. Furthermore, compared to being dissected into various materials to make magic tools, it seemed that it was better to eat them directly…
“Anyway, let’s leave this place first!” Giovanni could only give up persuading. Thus, everyone set off again and continued deeper into the forest, preparing to go out. But before they got too far, two dragon roars suddenly came from the distant sky!
Looking up, they saw two giant dragons flying toward the forest. It was the green dragons’ parents.
At this moment, two adult green dragons in the sky had their wings spread and were flying quickly. At the foot of one of the green dragons was a mammoth with long fur in its claw. It was the prey caught by the green dragon couple in the distant snow-capped mountains. They brought this heavy mammoth back easily, intending to feed their children.
However, they found that something was wrong from afar. From high up in the sky, the familiar forest scenery was covered by a layer of black. The forest was no longer green, and the trees were withered.
The green dragon couple became anxious and accelerated toward the forest. As they flew, they let out dragon roars, calling out to their children.
However, there was no response…
The three infant dragons were actually the first litter of the green dragon couple. The green dragon couple had just reached adulthood and entered the reproduction stage. When they did not receive their children’s responses, they started panicking. Then the first thing they thought of was that the forest might have been attacked by other dragons!
Dragons were exceptionally gifted. Not only were they powerful, but they also had long lifespans. But it was not easy for dragons to mature because they always had to face many enemies, not only other races but also their own race.
Especially black dragons. They were tyrannical and evil, and they often attacked the nests of other dragons. Once they found infants, they would bite them to death without hesitation.
The blackness covering the entire forest made the green dragon couple mistakenly think that it was caused by a black dragon’s magic. So in their anxiety, they did not look closely at what these black things were and rushed toward the nest.
