The pet master

.... Max held the hammer excitedly.

Lucy on the side started clapping and cheering.

She didn't even mind that Max just destroyed the house she worked hard to build.

"oy, Lucy please, fix the wall before the house collapse on my head."

Little Lucy giggled and turned into a green light merging with the mountain.

Soon the thick stone wall got fixed, looking new.

But Lucy noticed something far more important outside, and instantly informed Max.

....

Max put the hammer inside the space ring.

"strong humans flying around the mountain, you say?."

Max fell deep in thought.

....

'this should be related to the dead dragon and the egg witch we ate.'

"Little Lu, stay away from them and don't make noise, also don't use Mist to appear next to me."

After Max gave his orders, he just started up a barbecue.

Deep down, he has this nagging feeling that the individuals flying around will eventually track him down.

Therefore, he wants to come across as nonchalant as possible, not giving off any indication that he recently encountered a dragon spirit and a dragon egg, then ate them both.

He never intended to flee from someone capable of slaying a dragon; his escape plan is futile.

Instead, he intends to initially raise suspicion in other areas.

Picture this: a person constructing a house in the middle of nowhere, relishing in a barbecue feast.

Those guys might feel curious about him, but since they are too busy tracking a dragon, they will feel they are wasting time with this weirdo.

Only after meeting these individuals will he assess the situation.

What kind of people they are, how strong are they? …

In fact, he might even take the initiative to reveal a few of his own small secrets if necessary, maybe his talent or the blood hammer.

'simulator if I lie can you cover for me, if others are using some lying detection skills or such?'

[Ding, reporting to The Host. The simulator has no such functions.]

'alright.'

.....

As Max predicted, three figures appeared - two women and one man in the center.

They stood on a floating ice fragment and soon landed next to Max.

Max gave them a strange glance. His flying cloud was 10 times better than this thing.

The trio regarded this strange guy with BBQ in his hand, then the house behind him.

Max also checked them out.

If they are weak, it's better to just kill them, but he felt danger from the trio, so he spoke first.

"ah excuse me you guys, but is it not cold to stand on that thing, and more importantly, this is a private property? Some privacy, please."

The three of them were speechless for a moment.

They didn't know how to react to Max's words.

The man, seemingly the leader of the trio, coughed

"well it is a bit cold, but never mind that. We just want to ask some questions and will leave immediately."

Max nodded. "Go ahead."

Because of his passive, Max could feel that this guy was definitely a good guy.

This made him feel at ease a little. After all, good guys won't just kill you for no reason.

"have you seen a dragon pass by?"

"oh that big thing, yep I saw the damn thing, what about it?"

The man became excited all of a sudden.

"where did it go?."

"I don't know," answered Max.

He didn't worry that they were using some lying detection skill, because he didn't lie.

He really didn't know if the dragon ended up in his stomach or Lucy's.

The man was frustrated, but he didn't ask more. He indeed had an item that can detect lies, so he confirmed Max's words.

But one of the women jumped in.

"since you saw it, then how don't you know where it went?"

"I didn't want anything to do with the damn thing, so… ". Max shrugged.

The man just sighed.

But the second woman jumped in with a questioning tone. "what are you doing here alone, anyway? "

"first it's none of your business, but if it helps you leave me alone faster, then I am here hatching eggs.

And now that you know, please leave me alone."

The leader's expression became stern, and the trio glanced at each other.

Max, seemingly noticing the strange mood change, gave them a puzzled look.

"you guys, what's wrong with me hatching eggs? Do you have a problem with egg hatching or what?"

Max looked like he is genuinely confused.

The leader, still serious, spoke.

"show me this egg you're hatching. "

Max shrugged, seemingly baffled, and pointed to the incubation room.

"check it yourself, but don't touch them."

The leader's gaze focused on the room, his eyes shining seemingly to see through the stone door, while the two women looked ready for a fight.

But suddenly the leader's serious expression switched to a strange one.

He indeed could see through, and what he saw made him confused.

He shook his head. This guy obviously didn't have any relation with the dragon.

although curious about Max's strangeness, from the stone house, to the eggs, and Max's apparently weak strength, but he had a dragon to hunt no time to waste on this guy.

"we are sorry to disturb you, and you two, let's go."

Max just nodded while the two women wanted to argue, but the man stopped them.

"It's just some weak pet eggs inside. We don't have time. The distance between us and the dragon should've gotten bigger."

The two didn't argue any more and left in a hurry.

They realized they were waisting time on the wrong thing instead of their actual purpose .

Max just watched as a board made of ice appears under them and took off to the sky.

" bunch of weirdos". He muttered.

Not stopping the act even now.
