Chapter 5: A Flaming Red Egg
Licking his dry lips, Yunchen only felt pain all over his body, hungry and thirsty, and at a glance, the road ahead was full of verdant green, and then looking back, there was no end in sight to the curved and spreading path.
Sitting down weakly, he looked at the burn on his arm, and then stroked the pain on his face, his expression was indifferent, he only hated himself now for not working hard to cultivate before, once he also entered the Tongfa realm, there would definitely be no today.
I didn't think about it when I sat down, but the feeling of thirst and hunger came over for a while, and Yunchen had to get up and prepare to find some mountain fruits to quench his hunger and thirst.
There has always been no shortage of wild fruits in the lush mountains, Yunchen also found two kinds of mountain fruits after looking for it, he didn't know much about this kind of thing, he knew that there were some things that would be fatal if eaten casually.
After hesitating for a while, he couldn't resist the discomfort of hunger and thirst, took a bite, endured the temptation to swallow it and waited for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual.
The taste of this fruit is not good, sour and astringent, Yunchen eats a few and feels better and doesn't want to eat it. Remembering that he had followed Li Shouchou to dig out birds' eggs, he licked his lips, and his eyes glanced around the treetops while the sky was not completely dark.
As he was walking around the search room, he suddenly saw a fire hidden on the top of the mountain. "Could it be anyone?" After hesitating, Yunchen walked towards the firelight.
The road is not easy to walk, and Yunchen's current state is not good, and he has walked for a long time in a place that seems to be not far away, and he has been trampled down twice by withered vines.
The more he walked up, the more surprised Yunchen became, this place was warm at first, and then it was getting hotter and hotter as he went up. All the way up, even the trees below showed signs of dehydration and withering, and the leaves of several trees were yellow. Puzzled by this phenomenon, Yunchen thought that it might be caused by the monk's methods.
Approaching, Yunchen felt a wave of heat rushing over, and when he looked closely, the firelight was actually a big bird that had fallen to the ground and was emitting a faint flame. Seeing this Yunchen, I couldn't help but be surprised, this firebird seemed to be dead, looking at the black and red ground around it, this big bird must be an extremely powerful spirit beast.
The trees within ten meters of the firebird as the center were charred, Yunchen returned and broke a thick trunk back, and pulled out the firebird, and the firebird was motionless. Sure that this firebird was dead, Yunchen looked at the front end of the tree trunk in his hand and burned, and couldn't help but secretly ask, how terrifying this firebird was born.
Yun Chen fiddled with it again, he wanted to find a way to eat it when the flames on the firebird's body dissipated! The spirit beast is a treasure, and it is a powerful spirit beast.
The flames on the firebird showed no signs of abating, but burned a small part of the trunk.
"There are eggs!" Yun Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a fist-sized fiery red egg under the firebird that he had moved away.
This was an unexpected surprise, there were only a few people in Cloud City, including his grandfather, who had spirit beasts. A spirit beast with strong strength is not something that ordinary people can have, and now there is an egg that can hatch a spirit beast, how can Yunchen not be surprised? He is now more eager than ever to have great power, and if he can raise a spirit beast, it is also an excellent choice.
Carefully picking out the egg, Yunchen looked at it carefully, this egg was like a fiery red and flawless gem, with an indescribable beauty.
It's strange to say, Yunchen has been fiddling for so long, and the flames on the firebird's body have not decreased, and after this egg was pulled out, the flames on the firebird's body slowly weakened. When Yunchen was secretly thinking about preparing to eat a meal of spirit beast meat, the red light on the firebird's body flashed, and its entire body actually disintegrated into a shower of light and rain dispersed with the wind.
I don't know what is going on, Yunchen still wants to eat this firebird spirit beast to see if he can break through the law realm, this firebird has disappeared.
It's a little boring, Yunchen wants to take the egg down the mountain, the egg is too hot, it is estimated that the flame on the firebird is burning. Yunchen couldn't help but wonder if this egg would have been baked, with this suspicion Yunchen wanted to try it, but he was extremely reluctant, this was a spirit beast egg, and it was not strange that it could withstand the high temperature.
The ground was also very hot and couldn't rest, so Yunchen carefully paddled the egg and walked down slowly, finding an open and suitable place, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but lie down. There are too many things today, especially the torture he suffered on Dongfang Ming's side, and he was so tired that he fell asleep directly after lying down.
When the sky is getting dark, I go to sleep, and when I wake up again, it is already dawn, and the first thing Yunchen sees is the fiery ruby egg, try to touch it, and the heat has dissipated.
When I wanted to put this egg away, I found that the package had already fallen away, and holding an egg as big as a fist like a fiery ruby was really conspicuous, Yunchen stuffed it into his arms, and the protruding mass in his chest and abdomen looked a little strange, and he couldn't care about this, Yunchen slowly walked down.
Yunchen traveled in one direction, and after resting for a night, he still had many faint aches on his body, and when he tried to try to walk faster, he felt uncomfortable, so he walked extremely slowly. For three days in a row, hungry for wild fruits and thirsty for mountain springs, when tired, he lay down directly, fortunately he didn't encounter anything like beasts all the way, and finally walked out of this seemingly endless mountain forest, looking at the faint figure in the distance, Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief.
After counting these days, this should be the Donglin area, right? Yunchen walked forward, and sure enough, he saw a stone tablet engraved with the words Donglin Xingjun on the ground.
Donglin Gun-gun is a well-known prosperous and wealthy place in the kingdom, and it is said that it is not inferior to the royal capital except for the nobles.
At this time, Yunchen's clothes were dirty and messy, and there were many small holes burned by Dongfang Ming, his hair was also very messy, and there were grass clippings stained because of Xi Tian's sleep, plus his bare arms and unhealed burns on his face, the whole person looked much more embarrassed than a beggar.
"This big brother, how is the Ye family going?" Yunchen walked behind one person and called softly. The man turned his head and looked at Yunchen, he hurriedly retreated and kept wiping the clothes on his body, he scolded and walked away, disdainful of looking at Yunchen at all.
Yunchen walked silently, his memory was a little far away, and the number of times he came was small, he really didn't know where to go. The more people walked down, the more shops lined the road, and when he walked past some of the storefronts, someone would always urge him to hurry away.
He had never experienced these things before, at first he was angry, but slowly, his expression became more and more indifferent, and what he had experienced in the past days away from home was completely unimaginable to him.
Famous for its merchants, Donglinhang is the largest trading center in the kingdom, with a main road filled with trucks of all kinds. Yunchen approached a person a little numbly and wanted to ask about the situation of the Ye family, but this time he was simply pushed to the ground with one hand.
"Bah, what's the matter, the one who has dirty the uncle, you have to beg and ......," the man scolded.
Yunchen was silent, he decided not to ask anyone again, he would always find it if he searched for it, didn't he?
"Wow, third brother, what is that? so beautiful, I want that ......" A young girl's voice sounded.
Yunchen stood up silently and was about to leave, but when he saw the spirit beast egg falling on one side, he hurriedly picked it up and looked at it carefully, so he was relieved that the egg was not broken.
"Hey, give me what you have in your hand, these are yours!" a man walked over and spread out his palm, there were several crystal coins on it, and he pointed to the fiery ruby egg in Yunchen's hand with the other.
Yunchen tightened the egg in his hand, shook his head and was about to walk away.
"With these, you will be able to live a good life!" the man persuaded Yunchen.
"I'm not selling!"
The man turned his head and looked at it, then quickened his pace to block in front of Yunchen, and he said fiercely: "Untouchable, don't be embarrassed, our young lady has taken a fancy to this thing, you ......"
"I'm not selling!" Yunchen replied word by word.
A little girl next to her pulled a young man and shook it constantly, pointing to the egg in Yunchen's hand and saying that she wanted it.
The young man nodded at the man who stopped Yunchen.
After the man got the young man's signal, he stared at Yunchen with a cruel smile, and said, "Don't sell it, I'll grab it!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Yunchen's hand, and at the same time, several people behind the young man also stepped forward.
All the things he had suffered along the way came to his heart, and a trace of sadness flashed in Yunchen's eyes, and then he was replaced by a wave of madness. He fell to the ground with all his might, smashing the egg into the ground. Smashing it down so hard, this egg turned out to be fine, Yunchen was stunned, quickly turned his head to look, and kicked on the face of the man who was bending down, and he smashed the egg with all his might, and it took so many blows to smash the egg.
Looking at the other men who were coming over, Yun Chen laughed sharply, broke open the broken eggshell and sent it to his mouth, sucking it again and again, and the fist-sized egg was swallowed by him in a few bites.
Several men approached, and Yunchen threw the empty eggshell in his hand towards the young man, a hot burning pain rose in his throat, but Yunchen was laughing.
"You madman!" the man who was kicked in the door by Yunchen pounced and kept kicking him.
“...... Woo, it's broken!" the little girl looked at the eggshell on the side of her leg with a sad face.
The young man took the little girl's hand and said, "If it's broken, it's broken, the third brother will find you a better baby......" He pulled the little girl away, and he didn't even look at Yunchen who was being beaten by his people next to him.
Seeing the young man and the little girl leaving, several men kicked Yunchen a few more times before following quickly.
Yunchen lay on the ground and couldn't move, his mouth and nose were full of red blood stains, the road was full of traffic and pedestrians, few people stopped for Yunchen who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and there were not a few people who watched the excitement not far away.
In a daze, Yunchen felt that the whole world was extremely hot, and scenes of strange Lu Qi appeared in his mind.
He saw an endless sea of fire, in which a large burning bird was dancing.
He saw the flames from the trembling of the firebird's body burn the void and twist and collapse.
He saw the firebird flutter its wings and cross a thousand realms.
At last he saw the firebird meet a giant in golden armor, and they fought together, and the flames of the firebird turned the stars into ashes, but they could not help the golden-armored giant. The golden-armored giant spat out the golden thunder and killed the firebird again and again, and the firebird repeated the process of dying and resurrecting and being killed again, and the firebird was much weaker each time it was resurrected, until it fell down with a raging fire when it could no longer be resurrected.
With these inexplicable images flashing in his mind, Yunchen felt that he was now in a sea of fire, and he would be turned into ashes in an instant. He tried to escape from the fire, but he ran as hard as he could, but he never saw the end of the fire, and finally, his consciousness gradually began to blur, and he completely fainted.
