Chapter 1460 Making A Deal With A Dragon

Grey continued to move across the place in search of the perfect Beast or opportunity for him to break through, while the others were training under the watchful eyes of Void. Although Void can be very nonchalant, as long as he was given the job by Grey, he would do his best to accomplish it.

He didn't want to miss out on Grey's delicacies. Just like Chris, he enjoyed Grey's cooking. Not just Chris, but everyone else that is close to him, Grey's parents included.

While Grey was walking around, he got a message from Void about something he found around the place. He couldn't go and check it out since he couldn't take his eyes of the people training but Grey could go.

Grey didn't think twice about it and hastily rushed back. With his strength it only took a few minutes before he returned.

When he got back, Void told him the area he sensed it and told him that there seemed to be a Peak Rank Seven Beast hiding there too.

The place was around the region Early Rank Seven Beasts usually stay in. Hearing that a Peak Rank Seven Beast was hiding there, Grey knew whatever it is Void sensed was worth it. Without hesitation, he rushed there.

And the closer he got to the place, the more he could feel what Void was talking about. He followed his senses and soon saw a large waterfall. A deep lake was beneath the waterfall.

Grey looked at it and he couldn't sense anything from the waterfall, but the lake itself.

"Underwater. I don't want to improve my water element, but there's no harm in checking out what it is." He murmured and shot into the water.

He was a Water Elementalist so he had no problem with breathing under water. With the help of a few air bubbles, he didn't have any problems.

As he went deeper into the lake, he realized it was not a regular lake. The depth of this lake was beyond his expectations, and the deeper he went, the stronger the pressure as well as the feeling he was getting.

The lake was also getting wider and darker. But for someone of his cultivation stage, there was no way he couldn't see in this darkness. A normal human would've died under the pressure of the water, but for Elementalists, especially Water Elementalists, it was a walk in the park.

Grey went deeper and soon noticed the source of the feeling he was getting. There was an underwater cave, and after swimming up, he came out of the water to see a large Magical Beast lying on the ground, beside it was an egg that contained tremendous energy.

Grey almost gasped out loud when he saw this.

'A Dragon!' He laughed internally.

What were the odds of seeing a Dragon this far out? Almost zero, yet here it was, a living, breathing Dragon in front of him, and it even had an egg. From the looks of it, he could guess it was a female Dragon.

The Dragon had dark scales and it gave off an eerie feeling. Its belly had a blue color. Both its horns had two different colors, one dark while the other was blue.

'It has two elements? Water and something else. Space or the darkness element wouldn't be bad.'

Grey started thinking of what elements the Dragon had and what ways it would be beneficial for him. However, his expression changed when he noticed the large wound on the left side of the Dragon as it turned around to inspect the water pool in the cave.

The wound was still very fresh, and when he saw how the Dragon moved, he knew that it was very weak.

"Who's there?"

The Dragon spoke in the human tongue as it questioned.

Grey could sense the tiredness in the voice which seemed like it would fade away in a short moment.

He didn't step out from his hiding place, opting to stay hidden.

"Do not be alarmed, I know of your presence, human. I can sense the dense Dragon essence in your body."

The Dragon spoke one again, and this time, Grey had no option but to step out.

He never thought the Dragon would sense him due to the Dragon essence he consumed.

He didn't show any fears as he stepped out, the reason for this was because he was confident in his abilities, and also due to the fact that the Dragon was seriously injured. He knew it posed no harm to him in its present state.

"Fascinating." The Dragon spoke once again, but this time, its voice contained shock.

At first it could only sense the Dragon blood in Grey's body, but as Grey stepped out, it could sense that there was not just Dragon blood in his body, but other powerful Magical Beasts' blood essence as well.

"Why are you hiding here?" Grey asked calmly.

"As you can see, I'm injured. If I return to my tribe, I will be killed and my child will be devoured." The Dragon spoke slowly, taking deep breaths between each word.

Grey inspected the Dragon and knitted his brow, the injury the Dragon sustained was not as simple as he thought it was. As a matter of fact, it was very severe and the chances of the Dragon surviving it was zero. There was no way it could be saved at the moment.

"What happened to you?" He pointed at the place the dragon was injured.

The Dragon wanted to explain, but it would take too long, after thinking about it, he transmitted its voice into Grey's head, explaining everything within a few seconds.

The Dragon was sent out from its tribe for a mission. On the way, it was attacked by a group of Magical Beasts. All were in the same stage as itself. Being a Dragon gave it the advantage and it was able to fight against them, gaining the opportunity to escape.

To its shock, on its way back, the son of the Tribe Leader stopped it and attacked, using a special technique he seriously wounded her, while also giving the other Beasts the go-ahead to attack her.

With no other option, she fled.

The reason she was attacked was due to the fact that the son of the Tribe Leader wanted her to be his mate, but she didn't and mated with someone else. The son of the Tribe Leader found out when she was close to laying her egg and decided to achieve his plot.

She was lucky to have survived the attacks and even managed to hide someone to lay her egg. Dragons find it very difficult to conceive, but she was one of the few who got pregnant very quickly. She kept it hidden, but for some reason, the son of the Tribe Leader found out and wanted both her and her offspring dead.

The father of her offspring was not from her tribe which made things difficult. The Tribe Leader will find it hard to keep the child since it wasn't from their tribe.

This was the reason she didn't try to go back to the tribe. She has been here for a few months now, and her offspring will be hatching soon, but she wasn't confident she would be able to keep herself alive long enough to take care of it.

Grey listened intently to the Dragon's story. He felt a bit of pity for her since he didn't expect the Dragon tribes to be this way. Since they rarely conceive, he believed they should at least be able to keep all their eggs with them.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble." He said softly.

He truly did feel pity for the Dragon. Something like this only happened to humans, or so he thought, but this Dragon changed his view on things.

"Your offspring will be coming to life soon, I can help keep you alive for a few more months." Grey had some things that could extend the Dragon's life, but they were very valuable. As much as he wouldn't generally want to use it, he felt pity for this Dragon and he wouldn't really mind helping her.

"There's no point in keeping me alive for a few more months." The Dragon shook its large head.

"What do you mean?" Grey asked.

'Keeping me alive for a few months isn't enough to train my offspring. I need at least fifteen to twenty years. And there's still no hope for me. Death is certain for me with this injury.' The Dragon explained telepathically.

"What do you plan on doing then?" Grey asked.

'Well, I didn't know, until you arrived.' The Dragon gave Grey a deep look.

Grey looked at the Dragon, giving him a strange look. He didn't understand the meaning behind the look he was getting from the Dragon.

"Human, are you willing to make a deal with me?" The Dragon asked with her raspy voice.
