Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 28: Monster Egg

At night, the stars are twinkling and the moon is high in the sky, casting bursts of light. The breeze blows gently, and the leaves are rustling.

In an open space somewhere in the jungle, Liu Sha and nine other people gathered together. In the middle of them was the corpse of a cleaned monster, which was being roasted on a fire. It made a sizzling sound, and grease kept dripping into the fire, sparking a burst of crackling sparks.

"Master Liu, are you sure your father will come to take you out during this time?" One of them tore off the thigh of the monster and handed it to Liu Sha who was sitting next to him with a flattering look on his face.

"Of course. Two months ago, I received a letter from the sect saying that after discussing with other sects, they planned to release me. Now it's been more than two months, and the time is almost up." Liu Sha crossed his legs, took the food handed to him, and started eating it without any hesitation. Hearing this, several people around him came towards him attentively, saying some flattering words.

"Master Liu, don't forget us brothers when you get out. Our sentences are only a dozen years at most. Ask your father to help us take care of things. When we get out, we will definitely follow you like we do now and do what you lead."

"Haha... no problem, no problem. No matter where you are in terms of your strength, you can all be considered heroes. With your joining, my Lingjian Sect will definitely reach a higher level. I believe my father will happily agree." Liu Sha listened to the compliments from the people around him, and a smug smile appeared on his face. His chin was slightly raised, and a hint of complacency was revealed in his eyes.

Not far away, Xiao Yichen was hiding in the bushes, listening to the conversation between the nine people in front of him, with an imperceptible sneer on his face.

"Go out? I'll let you crawl out tonight, you old bastard." After saying that, his figure gradually faded away and disappeared into the jungle, then he ran quickly in one direction.

Ever since he recovered from his injuries, he has been constantly searching for the whereabouts of several people. It has never been his style to swallow the loss. Although he cannot beat the others, Liu Sha is a complete waste. Xiao Yichen is still completely confident in dealing with him. All he has to do is to delay the others.

Previously, when he was on his way to look for everyone, he accidentally ran into a monster's nest. If he hadn't reacted quickly and the other party hadn't been too determined to chase him, he would have been surrounded by the monsters.

After arriving at the destination, Xiao Yichen hid in the dark and observed. In the distance, there was a group of tiger-like monsters with deep dark purple fur, broad and majestic heads, sharp fangs and a cold glow. Just one look at them made people feel chilled. The strength of each monster was at the peak of the mortal realm. Although the individual combat power was not very strong, they had the advantage of large numbers. At a glance, there were no less than 80 of them, not to mention how many were in the cave.

At this moment, this group of monsters were lying on the ground, planning to rest. Xiao Yichen quietly retreated and came to a relatively safe place. He pulled up the weeds on the ground and put them in his mouth and started chewing. Some bitter liquid flowed out of the weeds, and then he slowly applied the juice to various parts of his body.

After a busy period, his entire body was covered with the green juice. It was a bit disgusting, but it worked well. With the smell of weeds all over his body, he easily bypassed the sleeping monster outside the cave and quietly slipped into the other's nest.

When he came in front of a magical beast that was obviously twice the size of the others, Xiao Yichen didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of waking it up. He slowly reached out his hand to several magical beast eggs beside him. Just as he was about to take action, he found that on the stone platform in the other direction, there was a much smaller magical beast egg placed alone. The color was much darker than the ones in front of him.

"Concentration is the essence, the more refined the better." Thinking of this, he changed his target without hesitation and quietly picked up the smallest one.

Seeing that he had obtained the thing, Xiao Yichen did not dare to be careless. He slowly retreated and left this dangerous nest. When he returned to a safe place, Xiao Yichen looked at the pitch-black egg in his hand. It was purple-black all over and as big as his head. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Let's deal with this egg first." After saying that, he found a big stone nearby. A white light appeared at the tips of his five fingers. He began to dig towards the center of the stone. After a while, a simple pot was ready. He took a few smaller stones to put underneath, picked up some dry grass, and quickly lit a fire.

After doing all this, he looked at the dark monster egg beside him, with a sly smile on his face: "Hehe, I've eaten chicken eggs, bird eggs, and ostrich eggs, but I don't know what this tiger egg tastes like. Eh? Aren't tigers born alive? Oh, never mind." As he said that, he picked up the egg and knocked it lightly against the edge of the stone pot.

"Snap", but it didn't break...

"It's a little hard, come again."

After being busy for a few more minutes, Xiao Yichen threw the egg directly to the ground in annoyance. With a dull "bang", the monster egg was thrown heavily to the ground. However, when he looked at the intact egg under his feet, his expression was a little weird.

"Hey, I just don't believe in evil. At worst, I won't eat it." As he said that, he grabbed the egg with one hand and was about to smash it at the stone beside him, with bursts of white light flashing on his hand.

But the next moment after he mobilized the energy, the egg suddenly stuck to his hand and continued to absorb the energy in his body. What terrified Xiao Yichen was that he could not control the loss of energy in his body.

"Damn... it's not that weird." He grabbed the egg and smashed it against the stone next to him. The sound of "clang clang" echoed around him. Fortunately, he had checked this place before and there was no danger nearby.

When one-fifth of the energy in his body was sucked away, he panicked a little and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger. He even smashed the stone, but the egg stuck to his hand remained intact.

He changed another stone and continued to smash it.

…………

After smashing five stones in a row, Xiao Yichen put the egg under his butt, and then tried hard to pull his hand off the egg.

After five minutes, he gave up and sighed heavily. Two-thirds of the energy in his body had been sucked away by this strange egg.

"Ah, shit, just suck it slowly. I wonder what else you can suck if you have nothing else left." Xiao Yichen sat down on the egg, looking at the sky in the distance and fell into deep thought.

When the last bit of energy in his body was sucked away, he suddenly found that his hands seemed to be free. He hurriedly jumped up from the egg, fearing that his butt would also be stuck.

At this moment, the egg was slowly emitting wisps of purple mist. Xiao Yichen wanted to get closer to take a look, but was afraid of getting stuck again, so he hid behind a stone and observed slowly.

After a long time, he saw the egg seemed to jump suddenly.

"It's not about to break out of the shell, is it? Good, God help me, little thing, you had this eggshell protecting you just now, I want to see how you can turn the world around without this eggshell." As he said, he ran to the previous position, picked up the stone pot, and hid behind the stone again. He planned to stew it the moment the other party broke out of the shell.

After waiting for a while, the egg began to beat more and more violently. Xiao Yichen could also hear subtle "dong dong dong" sounds coming from the egg, as if the little thing inside was trying hard to get out.

Finally, with a click, a tiny crack appeared on the eggshell. Then, the crack spread rapidly like a spider web. With a series of "cracking" sounds, the eggshell finally broke. But when Xiao Yichen looked carefully, he did not see any living creature.

He was a little confused and stayed behind the stone for a while. After making sure there was no movement, he slowly walked towards the broken eggshells with the stone pot in his hand. When he got closer, Xiao Yichen looked at the eggshells that had been broken into pieces. He held the stone pot in front of his chest to avoid being attacked, and gently swept his feet towards the pair of eggshells.

The moment his feet touched the eggshell, an unknown long-shaped monster rushed towards Xiao Yichen's face.

"Oh... Shit, snake... snake..."
