Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Hurry, hurry, this way."

Several men in black flew through the mountains and forests on swords, one of whom was carrying a small, round bundle in his arms.

They flew from nightfall to dawn and then from dawn to nightfall again, never daring to stop for fear of being discovered by the demons.

After escaping the demon territory, they flew for another day and night before daring to stop on a certain mountain.

"I never expected we'd be so lucky; we actually managed to steal the dragon egg."

The man carefully opened the small bundle in his arms, revealing a black egg that radiated vibrant colors.

"Do you think there might be a dragon in here?" one of the men in black asked.

Another one kicked him: "Bullshit! If there were no dragons, what would we be doing stealing them?"

The man scratched his head: "That's right. That person said that after the matter is settled, he will let us enter the Tianshan Sword Sect as inner disciples."

That's one of the top sects among the eight great immortal sects. If they could get in as inner disciples, it would be worth the great risk they took to go to the Demon King's Palace.

"Fortunately, the demons guarding the spirit pool were not around, which gave us this opportunity."

The man in black shook the dragon egg: "I heard they're going to use it for alchemy. Do you think alchemy made from this dragon egg can really allow someone to advance in levels consecutively?"

"Who knows? We'll see when the time comes."

Akahoshi was currently in complete darkness, surrounded by familiar scents. He reached out and patted the ground, vaguely hearing voices:

"Hey, it looks like something's moving inside this egg."

"Hurry back, hurry, hurry! We'll be in big trouble if we wait for that brat to come out."

Chi Xing didn't even shout 250. He had just heard these people say that they wanted to use him to refine pills.

The immense divine power pressed down like a mountain, and the man in black, who had been flying on his sword, suddenly fell to the ground.

"puff--"

The man in black, who was holding an egg, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood after it fell.

The others also fell, crashing heavily onto the rocks; the cracking of their bones was so loud that even Akahoshi could hear it clearly.

"Ah..."

They took out pills from their pockets and swallowed them, but the immense pressure still emanating from them made them instinctively think that the demons were chasing after them.

They looked around but saw nothing, until the small bundle in the man's arms fell into a pile of hay nearby.

"Yes, it's that egg! Run!"

The man in black shouted those words, then his voice abruptly stopped.

The others watched as the man in black suddenly froze, his eyes and mouth wide open.

A blood-red crack suddenly appeared at the corner of his eye, and the bloodstain quickly spread to the skin on his face, down to his neck, body, and finally to his limbs.

As the wind blew, with a whoosh, the man in black shattered into countless pieces along with the blood-red crack, leaving a gruesome pile of flesh on the ground.

The blood mist was blown by the wind onto the faces of the others, making their already pale faces even whiter.

The man in black closest to the person screamed in terror and scrambled away, his limbs trembling.

In an instant, he was turned into a pile of minced meat, without even a chance to cry for help.

Having already realized the problem lay with the egg, the man who had just broken his leg hurriedly knelt and kowtowed before the black dragon egg, saying:

"Spare me, spare me, I didn't mean to, we, we'll take you back right away, please don't kill me..."

Seeing the miserable state of the two people, the others obediently knelt down and kowtowed.

They really realized their mistake. They had thought it was just an ordinary demon egg, or even a dragon egg, just an unborn little demon.

Little did they expect that this egg was not an ordinary demon at all.

"Humph!"

Akahoshi inside the egg was in an extremely bad mood.

Has anyone spoken up for him? Why did he turn into an egg?

In my memory, Akahoshi wasn't born from an egg at all; he was born from a live birth.

Why did it turn into a baby dragon inside an egg in the small world?

He simply couldn't understand it, so he could only look at the trembling 250 in his mind's eye.

250: ...

【Your Highness, this is the most suitable identity assigned to you. Please make do with it.】

Akahoshi was angry, extremely angry, and the entire black egg became even blacker.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, there's the aura of a Celestial Lord... right at the foot of the mountain."

Red Star held its little dragon body, the black egg wrapped in a small bundle and divine power, and rolled down the mountain along the weeds with two thuds.

All the men in black breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they thought they were about to escape, a gust of evil wind blew by, and their smiles froze on their faces.

The next second, everyone turned into a pile of dust, and as the mountain wind blew by, everything here turned to ashes.

In previous years, the Xuanfu Sect's expeditions were always led by the Grand Elder.

This year, since the Grand Elder is currently in seclusion for cultivation, the team will be led by Cen Yu, the Jade Ling Immortal Venerable who has the highest cultivation level in their Xuanfu Sect.

Their training in the secret realm had ended, so there was no need for them to rush back. They always took their time to travel and enjoy the scenery along the way.

"There are some magical herbs over there, I'll go pick some."

The sect leader's youngest disciple told his senior brother and, with his five-year-old body swaying, ran off to pick spiritual herbs.

This spiritual plant, called the Immortal Herb, can be used to make the most common healing pills. Because it is the most common and grows in the least dangerous places, the junior disciples are happy to pick it.

Senior Brother Han Yang did not stop them, but paid special attention to his five-year-old junior brother.

Yunli is a little koi fish that has become a spirit. His parents are old friends with the parents of the sect leader Xuan Yi. The four of them decided to travel around and sent five-year-old Yunli to Xuanfu Sect.

Little Cloud Carp shoved through the grass and walked further, where it saw an exceptionally beautiful fairy herb.

Suddenly, something tripped him, and he fell down.

Even after falling, she didn't cry, just stared blankly at the round little bundle.

"You fell down? Can you get up by yourself?" Han Yang asked him with a smile.

Yunli puffed out her cheeks and nodded: "Yes."

But when he got up, he also picked up the small bundle on the ground.

The little child was carrying a small bundle, which was so heavy that he even frowned slightly.

"What's this?" Han Yang walked over and reached out to take the small bundle.

Yunli quickly stepped aside to prevent him from taking it.

"Don't touch it."

He sensed a familiar aura, but he wasn't sure what was inside or if it would harm his senior brother. Yunli dared not let him touch it.

Han Yang thought it was some kind of toy, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, okay, if Senior Brother won't touch it, then Little Carp, can you tell Senior Brother what this is?"

Yunli frowned, looked down, and was frightened by the glimpse of the black eggshell.

He shook his head, clutching the egg, and stumbled forward, calling out, "Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master..."

Inside the gauze curtain on the crane's back, Cen Yu, who was sitting on a soft couch, heard her junior nephew's voice and opened her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes.

Her light blue robes fluttered in the wind, and her long, dark hair cascaded down, swaying with the hem of her robes.

Her delicate and deep features clearly indicated a gentle appearance, but her phoenix eyes seemed to push people away, distant and indifferent like ice.
