Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 20

Rocky had just wanted to check what caused its disability, but he immediately discovered that it had no sex organ. Aside from that, it seemed anatomically identical to normal animals. But it wasn't normal at all! Its saliva had magical healing properties.

'I've done so many genetic experiments. I bred a gecko which has the similar healing ability as this beast. But the gecko can only heal itself, while this beast's saliva can heal human wounds too. It must have some special genes, ' Rocky thought to himself, utterly fascinated. Unfortunately, he was not able to take his war beast back to his world, and he couldn't do genetic experiments with the technology in this world. All he could do was to look at the beast and wonder what kind of special genes it might have.

But Rocky found an easy way to test how the power of its saliva was. He bit his finger and put it close to the beast's mouth. The small beast did not hesitate and bit his finger, sucking hard. When Rocky pulled back his finger, he found the wound had already been healed. He bit on the wound which just healed and put the finger into the beast's mouth again. He pull it back at the same time as before, noticing that the wound had not been completely healed.

He tried several times and came to a conclusion: though its saliva had a powerful ability of healing, the healing power was less potent after repeatedly curing the same wound. It meant that his body had produced antibodies to its saliva. He deduced that the human body did not have the same elements as its saliva.

Then Rocky continued to examine its four legs. Soon, he found a small scar on its left hind leg. A red gash indicated that the wound apparently had just healed. He gently applied pressure on it and the beast immediately screamed. It struggled in his arms and looked to be in great pain.

'Looks like its left hind leg was cut by something when it was just a newborn. And it might have damaged a hamstring. My little beast still managed to heal the wound when it licked itself instinctively. So the beast raiser didn't realize that it had been injured and instead thought it was born disabled, ' Rocky inferred. His little war beast was not born disabled! Rather, it had been wounded by accident!

After figuring this out, Rocky instantly went to the yard and snapped two hard twigs. Then he tore his tattered right sleeve off and ripped it into strips, tying the two twigs on its left hind leg which kept the leg from touching the ground. If its hamstring had really been wounded, it would make the wound worse if it put pressure on its left hind leg.

The beast now could not maintain its balance still since it could only stand on three legs. After falling on the bed several times, it gave up and lay on the bed crying in pain, staring at Rocky with tearful large eyes.

"It will be alright, little one. It's for your own good. Once you recover, you can walk and run freely like the other war beasts," Rocky petted its head with a smile.

His war beast seemed to understand what he said. It tried to carefully stand on its three legs. Though it was still shaking, it did not fall down again. But Rocky couldn't help but laugh at its comic appearance.

Night fell, and the setting sun turned the clouds a vibrant shade of cherry red.

A man dressed gray robes entered the room, holding two big pieces of bloody meat that were at least five kilograms each. He flung the meat in front of the two cages after entering Rocky's room.

He was about to leave the room when Rocky stopped him and asked, "Are these raw pieces of meat for the war beasts?"

"Of course. You think they are for you?" the man in a gray robe retorted impatiently.

"Do you have any other food such as vegetables and fruits? If the war beasts only eat meat, they will become obese and have high cholesterol. And their fighting capacity will be weakened. I have observed the war beasts here, their genetic structures are different from the regular animals. They should have a healthy diet like human beings in order to make sure they are healthy," Rocky explained to him at once.

"Are you insane?" the man in a gray robe cursed him and left the room immediately.
