Chapter 20: The Egg That Was Eaten Secretly
The spirit stones in the space ring were inexplicably missing by half, which made Xiao Lici puzzled.
He carefully observed the storage space a few times with his spiritual power, and found nothing abnormal, other things were there, only the spirit stones had become less!
"Hmm, that egg seems to be a little different!"
When he was puzzled, Xiao Lici's eyes swept around and stopped at the egg of a Xuanbing python.
He hadn't noticed anything before, but now that he looked closely, there was an egg that looked different from the others, the same size, but the pattern on the shell was obviously different, and the color was darker.
"Isn't this the egg of the Ice Python?"
The more Xiao Lici looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he just wanted to take out the egg to take a closer look, but the next scene made his jaw drop in shock.
I saw that the egg rotated left and right a few times, as if it had a smart mind, looking left and right, with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes.
Then it rolled up on its own, approaching the place where the spirit stone was stored, and only stopped after touching a primary spirit stone.
Then the pattern on the eggshell flickered and began to absorb spiritual power, and in less than five seconds, the primary spirit stone was absorbed and turned into powder.
After sucking a spirit stone, the weird egg was still not satisfied, and rolled to the side of another spirit stone, continuing to absorb spiritual power.
Looking at its skillful appearance, it is obvious that it has been stealing spirit stones for a long time.
"Grass!"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lici didn't care about doubts and shock, took out the egg and slapped it hard, and gritted his teeth angrily.
The spirit stone that he had worked so hard to get from the lair of the Xuanbing Giant Python, in just one day, was half ruined by such a goods, which made him not angry,
With this slap, he used all his strength, directly fanned the egg away, and smashed it heavily on the tree.
I thought I could vent my anger, but the imaginary shattering did not appear.
At the moment when it was about to touch the trunk of the tree, the pattern on the egg flickered again, and a faint energy shield appeared, which actually canceled out the impact of the collision and fell intact to the grass.
"This ......"
Xiao Li was dumbfounded, can an egg defend itself?
"Hmph, since you dare to steal my spirit stone, then don't blame me for eating you!"
He picked up the eggs again, walked over to the fire, and roasted them on the grill.
Fortunately, it didn't break just now, otherwise so many spirit stones would have been wasted, and roasting and eating it was the best choice!
However, this strange egg seems to be on the same page as Xiao, and after more than ten minutes, the other two eggs have a burnt smell, but it has not changed in the slightest, and the pattern on the eggshell completely ignores the flames, which is extremely weird!
"Hey, I don't believe it!"
Xiao Li didn't believe in evil, and shook his hand to be a cold ice spiritual power, freezing the strange egg into an ice lump.
If you're not afraid of fire, try ice!
However, the next second still left him speechless.
The pattern flashed, and the ice frozen on the eggshell melted instantly, and was absorbed by the strange egg.
It seems to like the power of ice, and after absorbing it, it rolls up happily, and is very happy!
“TMD!”
Xiao Lici was angry and hurried out of the swear words, crying and laughing, there are so many strange things in this world, there is such a thing!
Water and fire are invasive, and it is hard, it seems that there is nothing to do about it.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Lici put the strange egg into the space ring, and put the remaining half of the spirit stone into the box that usually contained clothes.
It's hard to guard against thieves!
After sighing, he sat down and began to eat the two eggs that were about to be burned, and his mood gradually improved.
When he was eating, something seemed to flicker in the air suddenly, and he couldn't open his eyes.
He barely opened his eyes and looked up, and was stunned for a moment, and half of the baked egg in his hand fell.
The originally clear sky was now hazy, and above the Fengyang Mountain Range, a huge ancient city palace loomed, like a mirage.
"What's going on?
Xiao Lici was shocked, and he didn't care about the roasted eggs that fell, so he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked into the air again.
The picture that appeared in my eyes was still an ancient city, and it was clearer and clearer than before, and it didn't look like it was going to dissipate at all.
The ancient city was built on a mountain range, and the palaces were undulating, but none of them were intact and ruined.
Only the palace in the center is barely intact, but it has long since lost its grandeur.
The mountains below the ancient city are even more shocking, like an inverted cone floating in the air, as if it has been artificially cut.
Seeing such a real and shocking vision, Xiao Lici couldn't wake up from the shock for a long time.
He had been surprised enough when he had just discovered the strange egg that would be eaten secretly, and now he was in disbelief to see such an amazing sight in the air.
"Could it be that this is the grand luck of the ancestors?"
Suddenly, a thought came to him, Xiao Lici's eyes shrank, and there was a bit of excitement and expectation in his complicated expression.
According to the time when the atmospheric transport appeared, it is really possible!
Thinking of this, Xiao Li extinguished the fire and hurriedly approached the illusion of the ancient city, maybe he could find something near the illusion.
Such a shocking spectacle, not only Xiao Lici saw it. Not long after the illusion of the ancient city appeared, most of the people in Fengyang City were attracted, and a large number of mercenaries and warriors came curiously.
There were also some mercenaries who were originally hunting demon beasts in the Fengyang Mountain Range, and after seeing the illusion of the ancient city, they were also curious and expectant, and approached the vicinity.
Along the way, Xiao Lici encountered a lot of mercenaries who were attracted, so he sped up.
He had already made sure that the ancient city illusion was not a mirage, for he could clearly feel that he was getting closer and closer to the illusion.
However, it didn't take long for the crowd to stop. Only then did they realize that the illusion of the ancient city was actually in the death zone!
Most people don't dare to move forward, the third-order demon beasts in the death zone are rampant, and the Yuan Realm martial artists may not be safe and sound, let alone them. Even if there is an opportunity, you have to have a life to take it!
However, curiosity and temptation are fatal, and some people hesitate for a long time and then resolutely enter the death zone, release their spiritual power to speed up, and continue to approach the illusion of the ancient city.
They are all Purple Mansion Realm Ninefold Martial Artists, and they are confident in their own strength. Besides, mercenaries don't have many cultivation resources, and with their talents, it is extremely difficult to break through the Transformation Yuan Realm, and the only hope is to get a chance!
There were also some Purple Mansion Realm eightfold martial artists who rushed in, using their lives to gain opportunities, and it seemed that the temptation of the ancient city illusion was great.
Similarly, Xiao Lici also released his spiritual power and rushed towards the ancient city illusion at the fastest speed.
"Is that kid crazy? Purple Mansion Realm Seven Layers also dares to break into the death zone?"
"Alas, cultivating to the Purple Mansion Realm Sevenfold at such a young age, it seems that he is a little genius, it's a pity!"
The warrior who stayed on the edge saw Xiao Lici break into the death zone, and there was surprise and regret, but more mockery. With his cultivation, entering it is looking for death!
But they didn't know that even if they were looking for death, Xiao Lici would have to go to the ancient city to phantom, because there was a glimmer of life for him there!
After entering the death zone, Xiao Lici was highly vigilant, and when he heard the movement of the demon beast, he quickly avoided it, and took the skin shed by the Xuanbing Python in his hand, and used its scent to deter the demon beast.
Along the way, he encountered many third-order demon beasts, but after smelling the scent of the Xuanbing Giant Python, they did not attack.
Half an hour later, a group of human warriors appeared in front of them, and they had reached the bottom of the illusion of the ancient city, and when they looked up, they could only see the cone-shaped mountains under the ruins of the ancient city.
There are more than thirty martial artists gathered here, basically all of them are Purple Mansion Realm Ninefold, and they are hung with colors, which is obviously caused by the attack of demon beasts.
Of course, there were more warriors who died halfway, and from time to time there were bursts of demon beast roars, indicating that another person was in danger.
The arrival of Xiao Lici made everyone look confused, a seven-fold boy from the Purple Mansion Realm can come here alive and still intact, what kind of shit luck is this?
"Huh, Brother Xiao, you're here too!"
At this time, an acquaintance greeted Xiao Lici, and Xiao Lici turned his head to see that it was Nangong Sha, the head of the Beisha Mercenary Regiment, and the nine of them were there.
Xiao Lici smiled in response and walked over.
In the small talk, there were more than two hundred warriors gathered under the illusion. In addition to the masters of the City Lord's Mansion, the other ten Huayuan Realm martial artists in Fengyang City had already arrived.
"Look, the lord of the castle is here too!"
At this time, the mercenaries on the edge suddenly stirred. Xiao Lici turned his head to look, and there were five middle-aged martial artists in the distance, their speed was extremely fast, and at first glance, they were Huayuan Realm martial artists!
The person at the front even had a feeling of stepping on the wind, he was Dugu Yun, the city lord of Fengyang City, the only one in Fengyang City who was a powerhouse in the One Realm!
