Global World Creation: I Tame Dragons in Another World - Chapter 23

“Rumble!”

A loud shocking sound woke Gray up from his sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes, feeling as though the entire world was shaking. The table, chairs, benches, boards, walls and everything else seemed to be emitting a dangerous sound of being unable to bear the burden.

Outside the window, although there was already a hint of whiteness on the horizon, the overall color of the sky was still dark gray.

Rumbling sounds kept coming from all directions, as if there was an unknown giant beast roaring, making people’s hair stand up in fear.

An earthquake!

The scene made Gray suddenly wake up.

His first reaction was to rush out of the safe house with the dragon egg, and find an empty place to stay. In the face of danger or natural disasters, people always had the instinct to flee to an open place.

However, he quickly realized that the safe house had an invincible protection, so the earthquake probably could not damage the safe house!

Just like now, even if the ground shook again and the safe house appeared to be unable to bear the load, in reality, the main body of the safe house still showed no signs of damage.

Moreover, it was not necessarily safe outside. It was obviously difficult to find an open area to hide in the jungle.

Not to mention that at this moment, the beasts were probably running around after being disturbed by the earthquake. The usually cruel and bloodthirsty beasts were not much better than humans in front of the natural disaster.

With a burst of thoughts in his mind, Gray quickly calmed down.

He moved the table to the corner, then picked up the dragon egg and hid under the table with the machete in his hand, quietly waiting for the earthquake to subside.

The dragon egg was obviously frightened by the sudden movement. It was still inexperienced, and it was trying to convey its pitiful fear to Gray. Gray felt that if the egg had a body, it would have already gone into his embrace.

As the dragon egg swallowed more and more mana crystals, its actions and emotions became more and more sensitive. Gray felt like he was holding a frightened child.

With no other choice, Gray could only hug the dragon egg tighter, using his chest and body temperature to give it a sense of security that was better than nothing at all.

This trick worked, and no one knew what kind of impression the dragon egg had of Gray. The natural disaster’s ferocity was still ongoing, but the dragon egg gradually quieted down under Gray’s comfort. It was as if it was already in the safest place in the world.

The earthquake continued for quite some time. It lasted until daybreak before it finally stopped.

Although the earthquake this time was fierce, it was fortunate that they weren’t hurt. Gray was glad that he did not leave the safe house.

Just as Gray sensed that the earthquake had weakened and was about to crawl out from under the table, the system’s voice sounded:

[Due to the approaching of the Void Undead army, the space-time continuum has become unstable. The current phenomenon is unknown. Please be careful, Guardians.]

Gray’s heart sank as the Void Undead army approached. He had thought that this was the first time that a threat that was far away in the horizon had appeared in front of him in such a close distance.

Gray still couldn’t understand the instability of space-time, but it didn’t matter. On the surface, the Void Undead could actually cause such a large-scale earthquake just by getting close. This was Gray’s first time facing the terror of the Void Undead.

An enemy that was originally just a vague concept had revealed its existence to the Guardians in an intuitive and astonishing manner the moment it appeared!

The Void Undead had arrived!

It was believed that at this moment, Gray was not the only Guardian that was shocked by the cause of this earthquake!

Gray moved the table away with a slightly heavy heart and then sat back down on the bed with the dragon egg in his arms.

He silently opened the chat channel, wanting to see the situation of this earthquake.

“Help! A huge crack has appeared on the cliff where I’m at. I suspect that it’s about to collapse. My troop is already unwilling to return to the house.”

“A tree that’s bigger than a truck has fallen on the safe house. Fortunately, the safe house has the protection of invincibility, so it didn’t collapse. But what about seven days later? What level of safe house can withstand such a big tree?”

“Sob, sob, sob, stop talking. I ran out of the safe house after the earthquake. Now the terrain has completely changed. I can’t find my way back. The sad thing is that I left my troop in the house…”

“Does anyone know what the system means by saying that space-time is unstable?”

“The Void Undead actually has the power to trigger a natural disaster! How exactly are we going to fight against such a monster a year from now!”

“Fuck, triggering an earthquake? How many ranks of troops does it take to do that? My scalp is numb!”

…

Everyone had a feeling that they had survived the earthquake this time.

From Gray’s point of view, the disaster wasn’t relatively serious.

It seemed that most of the people had made the right choice. They did not leave the safe house rashly. With the safe house’s invincible protection, at least their lives were guaranteed.

What made the Guardians even more uneasy than the earthquake was the system’s broadcast. A tiny fraction of the Void Undead’s power had shocked most of the Guardians, allowing them to understand the gap between themselves and their future enemies for the first time.

At this moment, Gray noticed that his friend icon lit up.

Opening it, he saw that it was Aikasha:

“Are you alright, Mr. Gray?”

He didn’t expect that there would still be people who cared about him in this world. It was only now that the earthquake had just subsided, and Aikasha had immediately contacted him after settling down. This warmed Gray’s heart .

Gray replied:

“I’m fine. How about you, Miss Aikasha? How are you doing?”

The other party’s reply was also very fast, and it was obvious that she was still in shock:

“I’m fine as well, but this time, it was really dangerous. The Void Undead… After all, they are more than I imagined.”

That’s right, Void Undead.

Even Aikasha, who had always been confident, calm, and powerful, let out a sigh. One could even imagine what the other Guardians, who had realized the problem, would think.

However, looking at the dragon egg that had yet to hatch beside him, recalling all sorts of unimaginable encounters in the past two days, Gray couldn’t help but feel a burning passion that he couldn’t suppress.

“We’re still too weak.”

Facing Aikasha’s true feelings, Gray couldn’t help but reveal what he was thinking.

“Mr. Gray?”

Ignoring Aikasha’s doubts, Gray continued.

“This is a world completely different from Earth.

“We have powers that we could never have imagined before,

“And we can continue to become stronger.

“Miss Aikasha, we have unlimited potential. After a year, I think we might not be weaker than the so-called Void Undead!”

Gray’s calm yet vehement words were transmitted to Aikasha through the system.

It was unknown how Aikasha felt upon seeing Gray’s words, but it was clear that she was not calm either.

After a moment of silence, Aikasha replied:

“What a reassuring reply. It’s very like you, Mr. Gray.”

In her words, Aikasha didn’t give too much of a reaction, but it could be seen that her panic seemed to have been alleviated.

That was enough.

Gray felt that the reliable Aikasha from before seemed to have returned.

Only then was she qualified to be his partner!

After chatting with Aikasha for a while, Gray closed the chat channel.

Although they had experienced the shock of the earthquake, as he said, they had only just begun.

The most important thing was to consider successfully passing the test of the Beast Tide in seven days.

Today was still a race against time..
