Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～

upposed to keep an eye on her while chasing them? Run backwards?

Ah, well, for now I’ll just run a little away from the flock and just target the slowest Ianian.
As I was beginning my chase I felt a sense of Deja vu.

Perhaps, was this a mirage? At the same time I thought so, the Ianian’s form distorted and appeared farther than before.
It’s already this far.
But, at least I was able to catch on early, I’ll still be able to catch up.

“Gaa!”

I give a warning to Nina and the ball rabbit who are on my back.
I won’t go full speed, but it should be decent enough, just until I catch it.

As I put strength into my feet the Ianian rushed towards me.
Its as if its eager.
I thought that it was a mirage, but I don’t feel that it is.
The [[Status Check]] also confirmed it, just what is it thinking?

For some reason the smallest Ianian was the one that rushed.
It was two times smaller than the others, its eyes were flat and the meat seemed soft.
Compared to the ball rabbit that tripled in size, I feel that the Ianian’s evolution does not affect it much apart from its name.
Isn’t this Ianian just a child?

“Aesu! Aeasu!”

It was high-pitched, like that of a child.
I stopped moving after I heard it.

When I set my eyes on it, it picked up a piece of the needle camel by its mouth.
Apparently, it came back to pick up what it dropped along the way.
The young Ianian delightfully narrows its eyes and shakes off the sand from the cactus.

I could take it out with one blow if I time it right.
Although, I can do it, my hands won’t move.
I can’t do something like that as a human being, even though I’m a dragon now.

Come on, don’t lose focus now me.
I have killed many monsters before.
Shouldn’t this be the same as following escaping prey? I desperately think as such, but my body still doesn’t move at all.

“Avesu!”

My focus returns after hearing the sharp barks.
A seasoned looking adult Ianian picks up the young one from the back of the neck and rushed towards his flock after glancing at me.
A piece of the needle camel falls out again from the young Ianian’s mouth along the way.

“Aesu!”

The young Ianian cries out, but the adult Ianian keeps moving without care.
Far away I hear “Aeasu!” as if it’s scolding the child.
After which the young Ianian sadly lowers its head.

I’m still close enough to go and catch them, but for some reason I don’t really feel like it.
“peshi peshi” the ball rabbit hits my back with its ears.

No, I can’t do it.
If I go after them then my [[Path of Evil]] title will Lv up.
If that happens then this desert will be destroyed because of my scales.

Anyways, looking back there is still some needle camel remains left around so its not too much of a loss.

Ha, even though I was the one who defeated it….

Was it because it has such a sweet smell?

Is this the way nature works?

Haa….ah.

I could hear Nina’s unintentional laughter from behind.
When I look back to see, Nina hurriedly closed her mouth with her hand.
Since she got a laugh out of it, I guess it wasn’t to bad.

Noticing that covering her mouth didn’t work, she removed her hand with a bitter smile.

“….Nya, umm, you are pretty kind aren’t you?”

I guess this incident helped in gaining a little trust at least.

If I would have attacked without hesitation then her mood towards me would have definitely turned bitter.

The ball rabbit angrily puffs its cheeks and turns its face sideways with a “Pui”.
