Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Viserys's gaze immediately fell on the dragon egg that had hatched first.

It was a red dragon egg, like a blazing flame, with a layer of scales even covering its surface.

Renis and Daenerys also turned their gazes in that direction, their hearts tightening slightly.

Although Daenerys had hatched dragons before, she was asleep at the time, and it was all done in her sleep. This was the first time the three people present had seen a dragon hatch.

The red dragon egg was still shaking violently, and the cracks on its surface were becoming more and more numerous, covering the entire egg.

Then, with a crisp sound, a small, bright red head covered in scales emerged from it.

With its big, watery eyes wide open, it greedily inhaled the outside air, looking like it had been holding it in for a long time.

"So cute!"

The two girls present had their eyes sparkle when they saw the baby dragon's adorable appearance.

"Squeak-"

The red baby dragon, which had just hatched, struggled inside the egg, seemingly trying to break free completely, while emitting a high-pitched cry like a large rat, which slightly surprised Viserys.

"Is the cry of a young dragon really that unpleasant?"

He turned to ask Daenerys, but the silver-haired girl herself wasn't quite sure. Then she looked at Reyne, who was asleep at that moment.

Renis hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

She remembered that when Bellerion, Rego, and Viserion were first hatched, they let out the roars of dragons.

"Isn't this a dragon?"

"That's impossible."

However, none of the people present were seeing a baby dragon hatch for the first time, and they didn't know much about the situation, so they could only patiently continue watching.

Then we saw the first hatchling struggling inside the egg, seemingly with its neck stuck in the shell.

Viserys's brow relaxed slightly, and then he reached out to help it.

However, at that moment, a deep roar came from above his head.

"Ho-"

The yellow sand surged up, casting a huge, sky-covering shadow over the ground.

Two giant dragons sat side by side behind the three of them, stretching their long necks and coldly observing the hatching of the dragon eggs.

Bellerion conveyed a powerful will within Viserys's mind, preventing him from doing so.

The shells of dragon eggs are extremely hard, and the hatching of a dragon is the first test that the gods put on this creature that defies the heavens.

Viserys understood Bellerion's meaning and stopped. He then saw the young dragon, which had hatched first, struggling desperately and twisting its body with great determination, finally squeezing out a larger hole in the dragon egg.

Then it opened its mouth and took a big bite out of the eggshell.

The hard dragon eggshell seemed to suddenly become vulnerable under the little guy's 'sharp teeth', a piece was bitten off and then chewed up and swallowed.

"So they ate the eggshells."

At that moment, Reines, who was watching from the sidelines, exclaimed softly.

She kept her voice very low, afraid of disturbing the first red baby dragon to hatch.

When the three dragons of Belerien hatched, Renis ordered the cleanup of the entire ruins of the main castle after it burned down, but the dragon eggshells were never found in the ruins.

At the time, she thought someone had secretly picked it up, but she didn't take it too seriously, since it was just an eggshell.

It now appears that the first step a dragon takes after hatching is to eat its own eggshell.

The first red dragon to hatch greedily devoured its own eggshell, as if it were some kind of delicacy.

During this process, her scales seemed to become increasingly lustrous, reflecting a metallic sheen, and instantly transformed from their soft, limp state when they first hatched into a more upright and sturdy form.

"It seems that the eggshell of a dragon egg is the best supplement for a young dragon, as it seems to contain magical power."

Viserys calmly observed the changes in the red dragon, noticing that it had a slender build and delicate bones, though its eyes were slightly sharp.

"Could this little guy be a female dragon?"

The silver-haired youth's heart suddenly stirred slightly.

He had once worried about the future reproduction of the three brothers. The three dragons, Bellerion, Rego, and Viserion, were all male, so they were competitive and had a strong desire to fight.

However, despite their formidable fighting power, the three male dragons cannot produce offspring to reproduce and continue their species. It should be noted that they are now the last three dragons in the world.

Viserys did not want the dragon race to become extinct again in the future, so finding a female dragon was something he had to do to ensure the continuation of the race.

However, there are three main theories regarding the reproduction of dragons.

The first theory holds that dragons have no gender. This view was held by Brother Bass, the Hand of King Jaeharis I, who believed that "the gender of dragons may be as unpredictable as their flames."

The second theory is that dragons may exhibit a gender at certain stages due to special reasons, but this gender may not be fixed throughout their lives.

The third view is that dragons, like other species, have males and females.

Viserys received clear information from Belerien that he was a male dragon, as were his two brothers.

However, Viserys did not see any obvious male reproductive organs on Bellerion, and Bellerion could not speak and could only convey simple emotions that could not be clearly expressed.

However, one thing is certain: if the dragon race is to continue, the existence of female dragons is still necessary.

Viserys once had a bold hypothesis that dragons might reproduce asexually, with female dragons laying eggs on their own without the need for fertilization, while male dragons were mainly responsible for fighting enemies and protecting their homeland.

There is no evidence to support the claims about the Targaryen family's presence on Dragonstone; it only clarifies that dragons do indeed incubate their eggs.

If there is a female dragon in the family, she will be willing to incubate the eggs, regardless of whether they are her own, so that the members of the Targaryen family do not have to incubate the eggs themselves.

A dragon can lay at least five eggs at a time.

The five dragon eggs that Viserys obtained from the Valyrian ruins were very likely laid by a single female dragon, and they all shared a common mother.

As the little red dragon crunched on its eggshell amidst the flames, another golden dragon egg beside it began to shake.

A crack appeared in the eggshell.

Chapter 359 The Four Brothers and Sisters of the Long Family

The red baby dragon was in the middle, and was the first to hatch, leading its brothers and sisters and becoming the eldest among the many baby dragons.

The fifth golden dragon egg was not to be outdone. The young dragon stubbornly smashed its head against the eggshell and struggled to emerge from it.

The young dragon let out a tender roar as soon as it crawled out, seemingly dissatisfied that it had not won first place.

Then its gaze fell upon Bellerion, who was crouching behind the three. The massive Black Death radiated intense heat, with golden magma flowing through the gaps in its scales, and even steam rising slightly.

Its enormous scarlet eyes remained calm as it coldly watched the birth of its offspring.

The second hatchling met Bellerion's gaze and instantly shrank its neck slightly.

The howling, which was venting its dissatisfaction, also lost its momentum halfway through, turning into two hums.

Its body was covered with golden scales, which reflected a dazzling light under the raging fire, like a rising sun.

"This little guy looks really pretty."

Renis looked at the baby dragon so close to her and exclaimed in admiration.

Then the golden baby dragon also bit into its own eggshell and began to crunch and gnaw on it.

As it ate its own eggshell, the luster of its scales grew even stronger.

The first was a red female baby dragon, while the second hatched was a golden male baby dragon.

Not long after the second dragon emerged, the third and fourth dragon eggs began to tremble almost simultaneously.

"Another dragon is about to hatch."

They exchanged glances, and before Viserys and the others could even get a good look at the beautiful golden baby dragon, two more dragon eggs began to stir.

"Who could it be Third Brother or Third Sister?"

Viserys's gaze was also fixed on the two trembling dragon eggs.

One of them was a deep blue dragon egg placed at the front, as deep as the ocean, with a vague vortex-like pattern. It was unclear whether it was just how it had grown or if it had a deeper meaning. One glance at it would make you feel deeply drawn into it.

The other one is light green, like a crystal-clear dragon egg. Rather than looking like a dragon egg or a stone, it looks more like a gem or a work of art.

The two dragon eggs began struggling to hatch almost simultaneously, one after the other.

According to the information Bellerion conveyed to Viserys, the first dragon hatched from its shell is considered to be stronger and healthier, and also more lively in temperament.

If five dragon eggs in a nest begin to hatch at the same time, the last dragon egg will often become the dragon that is sacrificed.

Because its physique is not as strong and healthy as its brothers and sisters, it is easy for it to die prematurely.

In cases of food shortages or more extreme circumstances, the dragon mother would prioritize abandoning her last child.

The red baby dragon hatched first, proving that she was the healthiest, followed by the golden baby dragon. The question of who would be the third dragon immediately became the focus of attention for the three people and two dragons present.

However, the two struggling dragon eggs did not leave the audience in suspense for long.

The deep blue surface of the dragon egg, as profound as the ocean, was the first to crack open, followed by the green, pearl-like dragon egg.

Then the dark blue baby dragon was the first to struggle to break out of its shell, biting its own eggshell. It looked like it had put in a lot of effort and was panting a bit.

She has deep blue scales, a slender figure, and quiet, gentle eyes, making her appear to be a gentle young dragon.

Meanwhile, the green pearl dragon hatchling also emerged from its shell. She saw her brothers and sisters hatching first, and she became the fourth, which made her slightly disappointed.

Then, turning his grief and anger into strength, he opened his mouth and bit down hard on his own eggshell, seemingly complaining that his eggshell was so hard.

Then, the equally slender, light green baby dragon began to crunch on its eggshell, its cheeks bulging, before swallowing it.

As the pale green baby dragon swallowed its eggshell, its horns, the row of sharp bones on its neck, and its wing bones gradually became translucent, reflecting dazzling seven-colored light like crystal.

"Is this a crystal dragon?"

Viserys's eyes narrowed slightly as he witnessed the changes that occurred after the fourth female dragon gnawed on his eggshell.
