Chapter 25: The Past

The moment the wooden box was opened, Xiao Chi's hair suddenly exploded, and he quickly jumped into Qiao Yang's arms, baring his teeth and intimidating the strange eggs in the box.

It felt a powerful threat coming from the egg, and the strange aura made it feel terrified.

Xiao Hei on the coffee table was full of interest in the strange eggs, and Xiao Hei flapped his wings and went up and down around the wooden box, showing full curiosity.

Qiao's mother continued to speak: "Your father, he used to be a demon trainer......

"......" This world is a prosperous world of demon beasts, and Qiao Yang is not too surprised by the change of his father's identity.

"Unlike other demon tamers, your father is a fanatic about studying the history of demon beasts. Mother Qiao stared at the wooden box and fell into memory, "After returning from a secret realm, your father brought back this egg. ”

"Your father told me that they found an ancient ruin in the secret realm, and this monster egg was also found in the ruins. ”

"The fellow demon tamers have a master who is very good at studying demon beasts, and after testing, there is no life fluctuation in this egg. When your father returned, he also took the egg to his laboratory and examined it with an instrument, and again found no trace of life, not even what was inside the egg, it was like an ordinary stone. ”

Qiao Yang nodded approvingly, "Since it was found in the ruins, it is not surprising that a demon beast egg has been turned into a fossil in tens of millions of years. ”

Qiao's mother didn't answer again, but just looked at the strange egg with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "No, this egg is still alive." ”

"Alive?"

With that, Qiao's mother got up and went to the kitchen and brought out a small bowl of fishy dark red liquid.

Qiao Yang twisted his face to look at the liquid, and his intuition told him that this was not a good thing.

Qiao's mother held the bowl in one hand, picked up the wooden box with the other, and poured the liquid in the bowl into it.

An even more bizarre scene occurred, the liquid was very thick, mixed with unknown lumpy tissue slowly sliding downward. But it did not enter the wooden box as expected, but all of them flowed directly into the egg without dropping, and even the inexplicable bright red lumpy tissue in the liquid was also absorbed, and the entire wooden box was not stained by the liquid at all.

After swallowing the liquid, the pattern of the egg body slowly turns from black to dark red, which is even more bewitching.

Qiao's mother only explained in a wooden way: "This is fish blood and internal organs....... ”

!!!???

The strange scene made Qiao Yang gasp, his scalp was numb, this fossil egg with no signs of life could still eat meat and drink blood!

"Before your father could thoroughly study the monster, he hurried to the ruins for a second exploration. But this time......"

Qiao's mother didn't continue, and Qiao Yang also understood that his father was killed in the second exploration of the ruins.

"Originally, my mother only hoped that you would grow up healthy and live this life in peace, but I never thought that you would eventually embark on the road of a demon trainer, and your talent is still so high, maybe this is fate......"

"Mom has given you this egg, and it might be useful to you. Qiao's mother stated calmly, her voice was neither sad nor joyful, and she couldn't see her expression.

It was the first time Qiao Yang had seen such a mother, which made him feel a little strange. Turning his gaze to the egg in the wooden box again, perhaps because he had swallowed blood, this time the illustrated book actually appeared.

【???】

There are only 3 question marks on the illustrated book, which makes Qiao Yang even more surprised, what the hell is this!

Aroused interested, Qiao Yang was eager to learn more about the past, but no matter how she asked, Qiao's mother remained silent. With a full stomach full of suspicions, Qiao Yang brought the strange egg into the bedroom, hesitated for a moment, dispelled the idea of bringing it to the association for Wen Lao's appraisal, and carefully stored it in the depths of the wardrobe.

It's not that Qiao Yang can't believe in his teacher's personality, but this egg is really weird, and there is no exact information in the illustrated book, so it must be difficult for Wen Lao to see the clues, and this is his father's relic, so he can't afford to lose it.

Since I can't do it for the time being, let's leave it alone. Thinking like this, Qiao Yang climbed into the bed and fell asleep.

......

Nothing was said all night.

Near noon on the second day, Qiao Yang woke up with his sleepy eyes, and had a strange dream last night, which made him feel a little weak.

He didn't remember most of the things in the dream when he woke up, and there was only a vague picture in his mind, as if he had been devoured by a monster.

Qiao Yang shuddered, and looked in the direction of the wardrobe suspiciously, could it really be this weird bastard...... Then he immediately shook his head, dispelling this ridiculous idea, my mother has collected it for so many years and nothing has happened, this egg should be harmless for the time being, I have too much heart.

Since it's late, there's no hurry to go to the association. Qiao Yang lay lazily on the bed, he hadn't been in bed for too long, and sure enough, the warm quilt was the most difficult seal to break free, so let him be late once in a while.

After rubbing in the quilt for a while, and seeing Xiao Hei and Xiao Chi, Qiao Yang was a little stunned, no wonder he slept so late, if it was usual, Xiao Hei would have been shouting to wake himself up and prepare breakfast for it.

Qiao Yang yawned, got up and walked towards the living room.

The coffee table is filled with hot meals, and the aroma is exuding. There are two small bowls at the other end of the coffee table, one bowl contains nectar, the other bowl contains meat, and the two little guys, one black and one red, are leaning down in front of the bowl and eating food.

Qiao's mother was sitting on the sofa, brushing a strand of loose hair behind her ears, looking at the two demon beasts lovingly, seeing Qiao Yang get up, she beckoned Qiao Yang to come over for lunch.

The mother and son tacitly didn't say a word about last night's events, as if nothing had happened.

After lunch and rushed to the association, Qiao Yang unexpectedly found that Chu Liuchuan was also in Wen Lao's office.

The two seemed to be talking about something, and it was already coming to an end, and Chu Liuchuan was saying goodbye: "That's it, I'll go back and prepare first." Seeing Qiao Yang enter the door, he greeted him familiarly, and left without staying for long.

Old Wen lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then bowed slightly to Qiao Yang and said, "This morning, the members of the association discovered a low-level secret realm in the western suburbs, and the warhead has gathered a lot of demon tamers to prepare to explore, and I plan to let you take this opportunity to experience it too." ”

Qiao Yang's heart sank, this is a rare good thing.

The formation of secret realms is nowhere to be studied, they will appear randomly all over the world, and they will be opened for a long period of time, and most of them have no rules to follow.

The inner part of the secret realm is an independent space, which is an ecological circulation system of its own, because few people have set foot in it, there are many precious resources and even rare demon beasts, which make countless demon tamers flock to it.
