Chapter 24: The Demon Egg

Gilt merchants.

None of the front desk employees on duty at night dared to doze off as usual, and they tried to straighten their waists and make a serious appearance, for fear of touching the boss who was now furious.

"Damn! The gang of Lan Qi props actually engaged in the third-order magic scroll, where did they come from?? ”

"Lord Azno, I, I heard a gossip that there was a civilian genius from the Royal Academy, who was excavated by Lanqi's people, and that third-order magic scroll was provided by the civilian student to Lanqi's props."

"Genius? Civilian!? This kind of shit luck can be touched by those people! ”

As the owner of the business group, Azno is now frowning, and his black face is very scary.

Their merchant group has just bought a batch of good goods recently, and they are also planning to do a props business in Wangcheng, but now it is good, and the limelight is all stolen by Lanqi's auction tonight.

In the case that everyone's goods are actually of similar quality, others in the same industry come up with an eye-catching gimmick, and the follow-up share sales will stabilize them.

Just when Azino was extremely irritable, the sound of "jingle bells" sounded from the entrance of the merchant group's store, and a group of three people pushed the door and entered the store.

Seeing this, the staff at the front desk hurriedly greeted him for fear of being scolded by the boss.

"Hello sir, welcome to the Gilded House, are you coming..."

"I have something I want to pawn for money." Liao Yu was straightforward.

"No problem sir, please hand over the pawn items and related information documents to me, there will be a professional appraiser of the gilt merchant group for valuation, about a day later, please come to the gilt house again, we will give a value assessment, negotiate with you for the final payment, if you are not satisfied with our appraisal, you can also apply..."

Boom.

Without waiting for the clerk to finish speaking, Liao Yu took out a crystal clear amber gem and placed it at the front desk, which was one of the many that Elena had prepared for him during the Chaos Rift.

"No documents, on-site assessment, on-site transactions." Liao Yu was concise and to the point.

"Sir, this is not in order, we..."

Just when the clerk was at a loss, Azino came out of the back room of the store, he waved his hand, and motioned for the other clerks to step back, and he would handle Liao Yu's order himself.

"What do you call him?"

Liao Yu didn't pay attention to him.

Seeing that Liao Yu was silent, Azino seemed to have seen a lot of this, and after laughing, he didn't ask any more questions, and while holding up the amber gem that Liao Yu put on the stage to look at carefully, he continued with Liao Yu:

"Mr. is unwilling to reveal his name, and he can't provide documents, so I can only believe that your gem is a black product, but you can rest assured, our gilt merchant group has always refused to come to the treasures, we can pawn it for you, but this price... You have to follow the market of black goods. ”

After saying hello to Liao Yu in advance, Azino didn't listen to the assessment at hand.

As the owner of the merchant group, his eyes are naturally very vicious, and because of this, the more Azino looks at this amber gem, the more he is shocked.

Because... This color, this texture, this is almost not the essence of a bit of dross...

The longer the amber gemstone is produced, the better the luster and texture will be precipitated, and the more stable the structure, and Azino once had the fortune to buy a 300-year-old amber gemstone, which changed hands and sold it for hundreds of thousands of gold coins at auction.

After all, a long-aged amber gemstone is not only a decoration, but also a precious magic material.

And now...

The amber gem in his hand, just touching it, Azino felt a warm current, as if it was flowing into his body along his fingertips, warming the magic in his body, and the impeccable texture was unprecedented, and it was definitely older than the three hundred years that had been!

This amber gem, he must take it!

Azino endured the surprise and excitement in his heart, pretended to look as usual on his face, and planned to try Liao Yu's tone, but who knows, Liao Yu was like a troublemaker, and directly took out three or four pieces of jade, and put the crystal on the counter.

And under this scene, no matter how sophisticated Azino's expression management is, he can't hold back at all.

He stared at these treasures with wide eyes, absolutely priceless treasures, and the greed and desire in his eyes for a moment could not be concealed at all.

"Sir, you... Your trading volume is a bit large, but don't worry, our gilt merchant group can definitely eat it, but please wait a while, I'll go to the back to prepare and discuss. ”

"Hurry up, you guys, make the best tea in the store for a few gentlemen!"

It's been about ten minutes.

Azno hurried over, apologized to Liao Yu for waiting for a long time, then nodded and bowed, respectfully leading Liao Yu and the three of them, leaving the store with him and going to the high-end VIP room at the back of the store to negotiate.

Liao Yu didn't say anything, just followed behind Azno.

The group came out of the back door of the store, turned around a few times, and came to a quiet dark alley, when Azno's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared around a corner.

And then, from the front and back of the dark alley, there were about a dozen thugs with weapons in their hands, and they began to quickly surround Liao Yu and the three.

Seeing that Liao Yu and the others were completely surrounded, and it was difficult to fly with wings, Azno, who had disappeared just now, walked out from a distance again at this time, and this time there was another person next to Azno...

A young man wearing a robe printed with a sunburst pattern and a proud face.

"Look, Lord Blue, this is it!"

Azino flatteringly sent the amber gem that Liao Yu had given him to identify before to the young mage.

At first, Blue seemed to be a little irritable about being disturbed late at night, and he was very dissatisfied with it.

But when he saw the crystal clear amber gem, the young mage's whole body suddenly became energetic, revealing the same surprise and greed as Azino at that time.

"How about Lord Blue, I didn't lie to you, and there are still a lot of treasures like this! I suspect they must have hidden a lot, otherwise they wouldn't have taken it out so casually! ”

Hearing Azno say this, Blue's eyes became even hotter.

He snorted lightly, and his arrogant face finally turned to Liao Yu, and then said to Liao Yu and the others in a tone that seemed to be already noble and unquestionable:

"Two choices, you have five seconds to think about it."

"One, tell me everything you know about the gems, and two, die."

Thousands of years have passed, and if anything has not changed, it must be human nature.

Now in such a scene, the taste is too right.

Liao Yu's evaluation is that the password is correct.

So as the right bonus...

"Ciel, do you confirm the surroundings?"

Hill?

Who is he talking to?

Do you really think this kind of bluff can fool him?

Not only the young mage, but also the thugs around him seemed to be amused by Liao Yu.

Unfortunately, the laughter didn't last a second.

They were shocked to find that the corners of their mouths could not be restored, and their twitching muscles seemed to be petrified, and their whole body fell into a strange stiffness, and only the frightened eyeballs could shake in panic.

Because of this, they realized that the alley had been covered with thick shadows at some point.

At their feet, the shadows behind them, as if alive, began to gather rapidly towards the center, and finally turned into a mysterious man in a cloak, half-kneeling in front of the leading young man before.

Liao Yu brought a total of three apostles.

It seems that from the past, there were only wisdom demons and magic demons by his side, but in fact, the shadow demon Hill also followed him at all times, but he was just hiding in the shadows, his own secret guard.

Hill nodded to Liao Yu.

Indicates that she has confirmed the safety environment around her.

In this case, Liao Yu doesn't talk much nonsense.

"Let's do it."

The moment the order was given, the shadow that belonged to them from behind these thugs and the mage named Blue turned into a sharp spike, and in the next moment, it stabbed straight towards their hearts.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The silent alley resounded with the sound of several flesh piercing through the alley at the same time, followed by a corpse that had been pierced from behind by shadow stabs and fell to the ground.

A few thugs who are less than level ten plus a level fifteen mage really can't even produce a "battle scene".

Liao Yu's principle has always been not to take the lead in using violence.

It doesn't matter if he's a human or a demon.

If the boss of the gilded brigade was willing to make honest deals with him, Liao Yu would not do anything to him.

It's a pity that the other party chose another path.

Then Liao Yu doesn't mind, and then gives himself the title of "heinous" a little more achievement points.

This also has nothing to do with humans and demons.

In the blink of an eye, only Azno, the owner of the gilded merchant group, was still standing on the opposite side.

Liao Yu won't kill him for the time being, after all, he is still waiting for him to explode gold coins for himself.

Seeing that Azino is now terrified, his face is pale with fright, and their cooperation in the future should be very pleasant and smooth.

If it is here, it is indeed a very simple and ordinary operation.

It's just that Liao Yu has a habit, which is also a subconscious behavior that most players have.

Touching the corpse.

Of course, it's not really hands-on to touch.

Liao Yu threw a "check" at the young mage lying on the ground.

Not only can you see if there are any good loot on the opponent's body, but you can also confirm the opponent's death status, and prevent such a thing as forgetting to mend the knife.

However.

When the panel that returned was presented in front of Liao Yu, he frowned slightly.

First of all, the young mage didn't have a single prop on him.

It can be seen that they came in a hurry, and they look down on them, so they don't prepare much at all.

Of course, that's not the point.

What really makes Liao Yu strange is...

[Blue (Death) (Parasitic Egg)]

The state of death is nothing.

But the latter one... What is the Devil's Egg Parasitism?

"Ciel, examine his body."

Liao Yu immediately ordered.

Hill thought that Liao Yu was referring to the body search, and the shadow demon extended the shadow hand from behind, and soon stripped the dead young mage all over his body.

Nothing was found.

It is consistent with Liao Yu's detective technique.

"Open him."

Liao Yu gave the second order.

As soon as these words came out, Azno, who was already trembling next to him, the boss of the gilded merchant group, almost didn't pee, and sat on the ground with his butt turned blue.

In his eyes, Liao Yu has become some kind of perverted murderer.

And the magic demon Dadaya also cast a surprised look at Liao Yu, as if he didn't expect that Wang would still be interested in corpses.

There are only wise demons.

Leon keenly smelled something wrong, after all, he was the most knowledgeable of the apostles, and the wise demon immediately stopped watching, and quickly stepped forward and came to Blue's corpse.

After receiving the new order, Hill quickly reshaped the original shadow hand into a scythe, aimed at Blue's chest, like a superb surgeon, completely following Liao Yu's instructions to carry out the "opening" work of disemboweling.

At first, nothing out of the ordinary.

It's nothing more than a little bloody, all kinds of internal organs, it looks a little bloody.

But as Ciel's Shadow Scythe reached the area where Blue's chest was down and his abdomen was slightly up, Shadow Demon's originally smooth Shadow Scythe suddenly stopped.

After seeing that, Hill seemed to have discovered something, the shadow sickle suddenly accelerated, and after just a few breaths, in the body that Blue was dissected, Liao Yu saw a...

Ovum.

Purple-black eggs.

The egg is about the size of a palm, and there is a layer of tiny tentacles on the surface of the egg, which is deeply rooted in Blue's flesh and blood, and is viscous with Blue's internal organs, pounding and throbbing, eating and absorbing Blue's blood as its nutrients.

It seems to be aware of changes in the external environment.

The egg began to wriggle.

It seems to be consciously, through these tiny tentacles piercing into the flesh, it is transferred through Blue's body, as if it is hiding in deeper and more hidden flesh and organs.

It's a pity that Ciel's shadow scythe fell instantly, blocking all the ways of this egg, and this seems to stimulate the egg again, or it may be that the egg finally realized that the death of the host Blue, this body is no longer fresh and energetic.

The egg no longer wriggles, but expands rapidly, accompanied by a "bang" of juice, like an exploding balloon, and all kinds of filthy blood and flesh that have accumulated in the egg are now turned into a cover for its escape.

Taking advantage of the filth splashed by the explosion of the egg, a black shadow shot out from the egg, and its goal was very clear, that is, to rush to the only living human not far away, Azno.

It's a pity...

Hiss... Yikes! Yikes! Roar!

Like a baby crying, but a more piercing and shrill scream rang out.

This parasite had not been able to run for half a second before it was grabbed by another strong and powerful hand, and it was firmly grasped like an iron pincer, unable to move.

Zhimo frowned, looking at the parasite in his hand now, from the egg in the human body, breaking out of the cocoon.

It has a smooth body and no hair.

It is covered in slime, its skin is covered in rotten marks, and its ugly face resembles that of a young man.

The lower half of its body, with several wriggling tentacles, resembles that of a young pregnant demon.

Its upper body, with two hands that look like blades, is incomparably similar to the sword demon when it was a child.

It has several pairs of compound eyes similar to those of demons.

From its back, it seems that there are still traces of wings that have not yet developed.

The appearance of this parasite is almost as if it is a hodgepodge of demon juveniles, or in a very weird form of "four dislikes".

Wisdom and Demons are very sure.

There is no such strange hatchling in the demon race.

Even if it's a mutant.

Can...

Leon made sure repeatedly, even looking in the direction of the magic, but Dadaya also shook his head, indicating that he also didn't feel it from the parasite's body... The slightest hint of demonic breath.

In turn, from the performance of this "four-like" parasite, which is now struggling so violently, it undoubtedly proves that in its eyes, Leon is an enemy and a foreign race.

And you must know that in the demon race, the apostles and the demon king have a strong ethnic inheritance relationship with all demons, and any demon clan, especially in their infancy, will inevitably show a strong affinity for them.

Just when Leon wanted to observe more, how did he expect that this parasite, after the initial struggle, perhaps because it was separated from the host, began to shrink and dehydrate rapidly.

Waiting for Leon to react again, in just a few breaths, from the weird four parasites just now, to now, the one in Leon's hand... Shriveled skin.

Silent.

The three apostles present and Liao Yu, including Liao Yu, had only one thought in their hearts.

This...

What is it?

Thousands of years later, in the human body, there are... A weird parasitic egg that resembles a demon?

Too bizarre and ridiculous.

The problem should be traced back to the source.

Liao Yu returned his gaze to the brood of the "egg", the young human mage, the corpse of Blue.

No.

Perhaps a more accurate identity than a "mage" should be used.

After all...

Those who would use the "sun" as a pattern on the robe, thousands of years ago, there was only one force.

And even after a thousand years, Liao Yu believes that there should not be a second one.

That is what Liao Yu, the Demon Race, and even the human race must know, and it is also the one with the most followers and the largest scale among the many Destiny Sects.

Like the dawn of dawn and darkness, like the sun shining brightly—the Radiant Holy Cult.
