Chapter 1122 - Chapter 1122 Chapter 1122 Guardian Beast

Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Guardian Beast Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Guardian Beast Facing a World Tree Seedling that had not fully grown was enough to immobilize a regular Druid, let alone when Dragon Eggs were added.

The World Tree had significant importance for the growth of a Druid’s power, and the extra World Tree could even communicate with the Dream. However, there were no traces of the World Tree in the East Continent.

After all, the Ancient Elves were primarily in the West Continent, so the discovery of a seedling in the East Continent was naturally exhilarating.

As a result, this Druid stayed put with his dozen Druids, circling around the Dragon Eggs daily. Within three days, using unknown methods, they managed to replenish the Dragon Eggs with life and hatched them.

However, the newly hatched dragonling was beyond the definition of any known dragon clan; tracing its origin, it was, of course, a Red Dragon.

But this dragon was catalyzed from the Dragon Eggs. It is known that even ordinary members of the Dragon Clan required lengthy years to gestate their eggs, let alone the Dragon King. Mass-produced Dragon Eggs naturally came with inherent defects.

The Dragon Throat Clan initially used Void energy to corrupt and hastily hatch them, constituting another form of destruction.

The Dragon Eggs obtained by Li Yao were also affected by the Void energy, but when Li Yao got them, he nurtured them with the World Tree, allowing it to nourish them.

Meanwhile, the World Tree continued to release quests to restore the life force of the Dragon Eggs, and almost everyone in Starfire had completed tasks from the World Tree.

On one hand, out of curiosity and in contribution to the guild, who wouldn’t want their guild’s Guardian Beast to be a Giant Dragon? On the other hand, as the World Tree grew, its rewards improved.

For example, the seeds produced by the World Tree, whether used for secondary professions like farming or as medicine, were very effective, offering buffs, or restoring life and magic. The seeds from the World Tree were not specific and even had a Druid from the guild cultivating an oak seed into a war tree type.

With all these benefits, the members of Starfire naturally were eager, and it also became a unique benefit for them.

The World Tree restored the life force of the Dragon Eggs using its natural power.

The Druid, knowing the situation of the Dragon Eggs, took out his treasured collection to replenish them and crucially used a special essence given by a Time Dragon to merge directly into the Dragon Eggs.

Then, along with the many Druids he brought, they collectively enhanced the life force of the Dragon Eggs to prevent them from dying soon after birth.

At that time, just when the Dragon Eggs hatched, Li Yao’s Lord template alerted him.

“System: Dragon egg nurtured by the World Tree has been born. The hatchling meets the criteria to become the guild’s Guardian Beast. Do you choose to let the hatchling become the guardian of the guild?”

At that moment, Li Yao was overjoyed, as a good guild Guardian Beast was not easy to obtain. Generally, there were two types of Guardian Beasts.

One was the Battle Spirit, which was the soul of a mighty beast that had died in battle. Such souls were scarce, and capturing and taming them was difficult, but these Guardian Beasts were powerful and fully formed.

The second type was systematic nurturing, like what Starfire did–selecting a young or egg of a species, uniting the guild’s collective power to complete its hatching and growth tasks, allowing the Guardian Beast to bond with the guild. Only then could it truly become a Guardian Beast.

The advantage of this method is that the guardian beast is sufficiently loyal and won’t easily betray its master like those temporarily tamed with full sentience.

However, the disadvantage is that finding a good guardian beast is extremely difficult. Typically, regular guilds choose leader-level fierce beast cubs, while the top guilds remain undecided, all for the sake of acquiring the ultimate guardian beast.

“Confirmed!” With Li Yao’s confirmation, the baby dragon became Starfire’s true guardian beast.

“System: Please name the guardian beast.”

“Star Shine,” said Li Yao.

Upon hearing the news that the baby dragon had hatched into a guardian beast, members of Starfire discovered they had each gained two new abilities, one active and one passive.

Dragon’s Protection: depending on the member’s guild level, increases the life limit by 1%-10% and enhances flame resistance, natural resistance, and dark resistance by 20-100, according to the member’s level.

The active ability was a summoning projection skill.

Guardian Summoning: summons a projection of the guardian beast with 100% of its strength to assist Starfire members in battle; the summoning time ranges from 10 seconds to 60 seconds, depending on the member’s level, with a cooldown time between 10 minutes and 3 minutes.

Having a guardian beast is essentially a guild perk; after all, gaining extra abilities and passives can sometimes be critical.

This time, Li Yao was genuinely surprised. After all, the abilities and passives provided by the guardian beasts were determined by their own strength; the stronger the guardian beast, the stronger and more numerous the abilities and passives provided to the guild.

In his previous life, Li Yao remembered a once obscure guild that, by chance during a quest, obtained a randomly hatching egg which they nurtured into a guardian beast. The result was a deep-sea magic whale, a creature not weaker than the multi-headed hydra and even more ferocious.

This guild quietly cultivated the magic whale to the level of a primary world boss, and they dominated a maritime event by using the magic whale and its guardian abilities to control a group of whales, subsequently reigning supreme over the seas and becoming the leading maritime power guild at the time. This showed how important a good guardian beast could be.

Although Starfire’s guardian beast was a dragon, it was a defective one; Li Yao initially thought it would need intensive nurturing before showing results. However, he was surprised to find an immediate beneficial boost, realizing that the Druid had infused something potent into Starfire.

As a guardian beast, it could generate many projections and switch between them. Most importantly, as long as the guild persisted, the guardian beast would never truly die.

And as the guild leader, Li Yao could always bring the guardian beast along in battle, while the vice-leader could have a guardian beast projection with, of course, a cooldown time and presence limitation. But it lasted significantly longer than for other members.

Li Yao immediately chose to summon, and a baby dragon, the size of a palm with spread wings, appeared next to him. Having just hatched from its eggshell, it lay on Li Yao’s shoulder and slowly opened its eyes, its gaze filled with affection and familiarity as it fluttered its small wings, flying continuously around Li Yao.

Li Yao discovered it didn’t resemble a Red Dragon at all, but appeared golden. This gold was not the coppery hue of a Bronze Dragon but a pure gold. Its scales were like golden glaze, seeming poured from gold, making it resemble a mechanized dragon imbued with a metallic texture.

“This is fine, let’s consider it a mechanical dragon, which will save a lot of trouble later on,” Li Yao sighed.

The Black Dragon queen gestured, and the baby dragon timidly glanced at her but still flapped its wings and landed on her palm. Her eyes glittered with a dull yellow light, clearly scrutinizing this newly born baby dragon…
