Chapter Twenty-Three: Breaking the Shell
"This egg, did you move just now?" Yan Ruoqin stared at the sinkhole for several days without moving, "Look! Moved again!" Yan Ruoqin's expression frightened the small steps next to him.
"Are you sure you're not dazzled?" Xiao Bu didn't dare to move.
By this time, they had reached the bottom of the sinkhole, surrounded by hundreds of unknown eggs, half a man tall.
"I'll have to count them and see if there's any less. Xiaobu hurriedly took two steps back, so that he could see the whole picture of the sinkhole.
"One hundred and thirty-five one hundred thirty-six one hundred and thirty-seven one hundred and thirty-eight, one hundred and thirty-nine! It's okay, it's all here!" Xiao Bu covered his mouth, looking like something was wrong. "Did you step on something?"
"I didn't!" Yan Ruoqin clearly stood in place, not daring to move at all.
"This sound, you must have stepped on some branch!" Xiao Bu didn't dare to admit that it was the sound of an eggshell cracking.
"What branches are there?" Yan Ruoqin looked at the fact that there were no branches under his feet at all, this sinkhole was burned into a pool of charred land by the falling Lingxing, where would there be any branches. He slowly raised his head to look at the crack in front of him in front of him. "Step, come and see, is this eggshell cracked!?" Yan Ruoqin dragged Xiao Bu over.
"Oh no, they're going to break their shells! We're going to have to destroy them all before they do. Xiao Bu said, Xiao Bu took out some flint and steel from his pocket, wiped it a few times, and quickly lit the nest of eggs.
"It's good that we move quickly, otherwise this egg wouldn't know what monster to hatch!" Yan Ruoqin helped move the flame farther away, wanting to make the fire burn bigger and more vigorous.
"No, the eggs are roasted on this fire, why don't you smell any fragrance?" Yan Ruoqin stared at the egg in front of him carefully, the burnt black eggshell didn't seem to burst, and the immovable egg was even more terrifying in the turbid red light.
"The eggshells are all burnt, can they still be cooked inside?" Xiao Bu looked at Yan Ruoqin's expression and couldn't help laughing. "You're notoriously timid, it's nothing, we've all burned these eggs, and they won't die?" Xiao Bu obviously took it lightly, and the eggs matured more quickly under the heat of this fire.
"It's not that I said, the eggs must be cooked, waiting to be eaten. The small steps did not fall.
"Click. Click. Click. A few crisp cracking sounds were like dominoes, and in less than a blink of an eye, all the eggs in the sinkhole were broken.
"It's over, it's over, it's dead!" Yan Ruoqin looked at the hundreds of small creatures that came out of the eggshells in front of him, and his hairs stood on end in fright.
"What is this!" Xiao Bu shivered as he looked at these little monsters with lizard-like skin and wings.
"Damn, I didn't burn you when I said it! You don't believe it, how can you get it now! It's all broken!" Yan Ruoqin's eyes were red, these more than 100 little monsters could fly away at any time in this sinkhole.
"This beast seems to be human!" Xiao Bu looked at the little monster in front of him with wide eyes and stared at him, tilting his head, and even a little cute.
"Don't touch it!" Xiaobu reached out and touched the little beast's head. Unexpectedly, this little beast closed his eyes and hung his head, looking happy and convinced. Yan Ruoqin on the side was in a hurry.
"What if his skin is poisonous!" Yan Ruoqin looked at the nest of little beasts raised by Xin Liu's turbidity in this smoky sinkhole, and it was difficult to defend himself in his heart.
"Woo woo!" the little beast pressed against Yan Ruoqin's head, his eyes wide open on his face. This made the big eyes on Yan Ruoqin's chest scared and didn't dare to open them.
"Goo-goo-goo. The little beast made a strange noise, sounding like a cat's purr. Yan Ruoqin subconsciously touched the Adam's apple of this beast, but he didn't expect this beast to be like a cat, and he surrendered in an instant.
"This guy seems to be pretty cute. But there are more than 100 of them, what should we do with them?" Yan Ruoqin and Xiao Bu looked at the little guy who was staggering and just out of the shell and worried.
"Why did they start pecking each other?" the sharp-eyed Yan Ruoqin saw that the little beasts in the distance had actually begun to fight in this sinkhole. The little wings fanned each other to attract blood, and they didn't feel that they were joking.
"Why did you start a fight?" Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu were still worried about this litter of little animals just now, but now they actually began to digest it internally.
"They actually breathe fire!" Yan Ruoqin looked at the innocent-looking little beast in front of him, looked at the group of fire-breathing guys in the distance, and covered his eyes and hid as soon as he picked up the one in front of him.
"What are you doing!" Xiao Bu was shocked by Yan Ruoqin's move.
"You dare to take this thing away, this is an ominous thing!" "What are you afraid of, I even dare to take my three brothers with me, he is already very cute."
"He, are you serious?" Xiao Bu firmly disagreed.
"We were meant to destroy these monsters, and no man's land has these things, and leaving this beast behind will only be a disaster. Xiaobu was righteous and refused to let go.
"If it weren't for our brother's sake, I wouldn't have agreed to you. It's just that this little guy, I'm a little reluctant. Yan Ruoqin was persuaded by Xiaobu's firmness, he let go of the little beast he was holding in his hand and let him go back to the sinkhole.
"None of these unclean things can be left. Xiao Bu threw the ignition stone into the sinkhole again, Yan Ruoqin looked at the little beasts who were torn up, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart, the fire burned more and more, and it engulfed the sinkhole after a while.
"This is leaving?" Yan Ruoqin looked at Xiao Bu, and he was still relieved.
"Let's go, let's go up and have a look, and it's not too late to go when the fire is extinguished. After taking small steps, he walked up the mountainside.
From a distance, the fire was not small, but it didn't seem to have caused any damage to this group of little beasts. It's like a fish in the water.
"They're not scorched by the fire, they seem to be quite happy. Yan Ruoqin frowned, looking at the spreading fire.
"They are born to spit fire, is this fire their breeding ground!?" Xiao Bu looked at the fire he had set and regretted it.
"This fire has intensified their attack, you see!" The little beast fighting in the distance was fighting fiercely in the nest like a young eagle, and there was no intention of flying away at all, this move was not merciful at all, the fire that spewed out of the mouth of this little beast was not the same as the fire of the small step, although it was also burning, it could be seen that the fire that spit out was redder and deeper, and a torch could scorch their opponents.
"I'm really hungry. Yan Ruoqin lay on this hillside and waited for them for hundreds of rounds.
"Don't say it, these little beasts really look like roast pigeons. Xiao Bu held the dog's tail and put it in his mouth. "I don't know what happened to our two little ones?" Xiao Bu looked at the little beasts killed in the sinkhole, and couldn't help but worry about his little monster who had confirmed his eyes.
"This little thing, it shouldn't be burned. Xiaobu stood up and looked down the mountain, and more than half of the dead and wounded were already in the sinkhole.
"You think they weren't born of the dragon, right?" Yan Ruoqin stared at the little beast who had been with him.
"From the way they look, it's already very similar. Coupled with the function of spitting fire, there is no doubt that it should be the son of the evil dragon. Yan Ruoqin interrupted Xiaobu's assumption.
"No, only the one who really survives is the son of the evil dragon!" Yan Ruoqin's eyes were firm, looking at the final battle in the sinkhole.
"I'll have to hide that little brute, or he'll be burned to death." After Yan Ruoqin finished speaking, he walked towards the sinkhole under the mountain.
"Eh, this guy ran out on his own!" "The little stride on the side got up, and saw a little black guy staggering and running over, very cute. Yan Ruoqin recognized it at a glance as the little beast just now.
"You are greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are very much like your master. Xiao Bu watched from the side, and Yan Ruoqin picked up the little beast covered in ashes.
"Little one, you will follow me in the future. The little guy shook off the ashes on his body, and suddenly choked out a flame, burning most of Yan Ruoqin's head.
"Oops, I'm talking about you. Give me such a big greeting gift as soon as you come!" Yan Ruoqin chased after the little guy's buttocks, holding his shoes and pumping.
"You are enjoying the joy of family, but if that nest of things comes out with a real son of the evil dragon, what should we do next!" Xiao Bu looked at Yan Ruoqin and then looked at this sinkhole, he was really relieved.
This turbid qi is still leaking out, and after the evil dragon inhales this turbid qi, its pupils radiate red light, becoming more fierce and powerful.
"It's good that you slipped, or you'd have turned into a roast pigeon. Yan Ruoqin picked up one of the little beast's feet and taught a lesson. "It's also a good thing to know how to advance and retreat, don't learn badly, you know!" After speaking, Yan Ruqin tore off a corner of the fabric on his clothes and blocked the nostrils of this little beast.
"It's hard to stay turbid, it's better for you to suck less, it's not a good thing anyway. The first thing this little guy saw was that he was a mother, and he ran and jumped around Yan Ruoqin, babbling and begging for food.
"What should I do, this guy seems to be hungry! Those burnt roast pigeons, I don't know if I can eat them!" Yan Ruoqin looked at the pile of black legs and wings in the sinkhole and asked.
Seeing that the battle in this sinkhole was about to end, and the last surviving evil dragon ate the corpses of his companions one by one, Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu watched as the dragon's body grew rapidly, becoming the size of his mother, and spread its wings to cover the sky.
"If these roasted pigeons are used for alchemy, they will definitely refine excellent pills. Xiao Bu watched the little monsters that were eaten and suddenly fueled the evil spirit of this evil dragon child, and knew that this thing must be difficult to deal with in the future.
