Chapter 2: The Black Egg
Shuijing Lake is extremely wide, Chen Mu's treehouse is only in a corner of the lake, and he can't see the whole picture of the lake, but the two pillars of light that protrude in the center of the lake can be seen clearly, and the light of the two pillars of light gradually dimmed, and something seems to be moving in the direction of the treehouse in the middle.
"What is that, it's taller than a tree!" Chen Mu exclaimed, but he quickly regained his composure, wrapped in a leaf quilt, and stared at the black shadow motionlessly.
I didn't know if it was a giant beast, but now I was undoubtedly caught in the net, and the thing was probably coming at him very little.
The black "giant egg" slowly floated to the grass next to the tree house, not as big as it looked from a distance, one person was about as tall as it was, like a black egg, more like a big seed.
Chen Mu couldn't calm his mood, the curiosity of rushing out to see what this thing was had prevailed, and after a while, he finally mustered up the courage to jump out of the tree house, still holding a knife in his hand, and walked carefully to the giant egg step by step.
Looking at the strange thing up close, the texture is like a large black stone, with strange patterns engraved on it, and it doesn't seem to be so hard to the touch, and there is a strong fragrance up and down.
The cries of the beasts around me were getting closer and closer, presumably attracted by the scent, and it seemed that the giant egg would be eaten in a few moments. Such a strong smell is like a flower, is this a plant?" Chen Mu whispered in surprise, he hung his courage and slowly retreated in the direction of the tree house.
At the same time as he retreated, the fishing rod of the branch of the Lingshu tree closest to the giant dome suddenly changed, and the whole body emitted an emerald green light, and the light could actually pierce through the void, and the entire sky seemed to be reflected in the emerald green color;
Suddenly, the fishing rope attached to the branch at the other end was suddenly tightened, and a fish was hooked!
Chen Mu quickly threw up the fishing rod, and a strange fish with white light was pulled up, everything came too suddenly, the fins of the strange fish were extremely sharp, and after leaving the water, it happened to cut Chen Mu's left hand. Before the bloody monster fish could be complacent, it was thrown into the air, and at this moment, a small hole was split above the black giant egg, and nine vine-like tentacles stretched out from it, and the nine tentacles wrapped the strange fish at the same time and shrank into the egg at a very fast speed.
At this time, Chen Mu was holding the leaf ball growing on the fishing rod, and he was about to pull it into the giant egg with the white strange fish, taking advantage of the fact that the tentacles of the giant egg did not touch the fishing rod, Chen Mu quickly cut the fishing rope with a knife, and retreated sharply with the green leaf ball.
The black dome tentacles rolled the fishing rod that emitted emerald green light and instantly retracted, and then there was no movement, as if tasting the delicious taste of the white light monster fish.
After the emerald green leaf ball came into contact with Chen Mu's blood, the five leaves began to fall off, revealing the delicious six-diamond-shaped "fruit" among them, perhaps this is the legendary fruit of the Ling Tree, "Aren't plants all blooming first and then bearing fruit, what about the flowers of the Ling Tree?" Chen Mu thought for a while, and suddenly stared at the giant egg with some awareness.
After Chen Mu distanced himself from the black egg slightly, he looked at the six-diamond body blankly, as crystal clear as a diamond, and the surface was covered with a large number of natural milky white exquisite patterns, and there seemed to be something inside......
At the same time as the fruit was born, the black giant egg cracked several longitudinally, nine petal-like shells bloomed, and in the middle, there was a lotus-like black pedestal connected with petals in nine directions, and there was a black stone vine-like tentacle under each petal, and an illusory white ball of light was suspended above the lotus platform, which flickered in Chen Mu's eyes.
Chen Mu was still staring blankly, what he saw had long exceeded the scope of his knowledge, as if he was dreaming, but the pain in his left hand made him believe that all this was true.
The rustle of the grass around gradually sounded, and a large number of beasts appeared densely, and only the glowing red or green beast eyes could be seen in the dark night, which made Chen Mu feel terrified, these beasts were obviously attracted by the rich fragrance, but they all gathered around the giant egg and did not take a step, as if waiting for something.
The path to the treehouse had been blocked by wild beasts, and the only way to escape was to swim into the Water Mirror Lake, but the faint white light in the lake made him feel dangerous, and there was more than one white strange fish. Chen Mu had never seen such a big scene, Chen Mu, who had already lost his calm, was ruthless, he couldn't care about it so much, and he had to fight horizontally and vertically.
He grabbed the six-diamond-shaped fruit of the tree and prepared to force it towards the treehouse, he knew that wild beasts would not climb trees! The moment he touched the fruit, the fruit actually burrowed into the wound on his palm, and then the wound on his hand healed rapidly.
There was a loud roar in the distance, and the whole earth was trembling, it seemed that a giant beast was breaking through the ground! The roar continued to approach, and the small beasts surrounding Chen Mu began to collapse rapidly, and the white light in the lake actually swam away, at this time, no matter how stupid Chen Mu was, he knew that something terrible was coming, and if he didn't hurry up and escape, there would be nothing.
He didn't care about how mysterious the black egg was and how the six-diamond body entered his body, he just knew that he had to pull up his legs and run wildly towards the treehouse.
The roar approached, and the white ball of light in the black dome seemed to have reacted, and it spun rapidly, flickering and flickering as if it was about to break free from the black lotus platform's pedestal.
The tentacles of the giant egg also reacted, and the eight tentacles quickly wrapped the white ball of light, without revealing a single gap, and the ball of light that was suddenly stuck seemed to have no strength to rotate, and its volume became smaller and smaller.
The fast-stretching ninth tentacle grabbed Chen Mu's left hand in the running frenzy, and pulled Chen Mu back in the rush.
Sweating profusely, he didn't have the courage to cut off his hand, and even more so on the extremely hard tentacles, he took the knife and prepared to fight the giant egg.
At the same time that Chen Mu was pulled back into the giant dome, the two pillars of light in the center of the Water Mirror Lake in the distance once again emitted a strong light that pierced through the sky, rapidly approaching the direction of the giant dome.
At the moment when the pillar of light lit up, the giant egg trembled, its size became smaller and smaller, and it shrank into a small black egg between two breaths, and the patterns on the eggshell still shimmered with golden streamers.
In Chen Mu's struggling and weak breathing, he also got into the wound on his left hand, this wound healed instantly without a trace of scar, looking at the emptiness around him, Chen Mu didn't know what to do for a while.
Looking at the palm of his hand, a black strange lotus tattoo of nine petals, nine tentacles and a lotus platform gradually emerged, and one of the lotus tentacles was wrapped in a small white circle, which should be the white bead that wanted to escape.
Everything happened almost instantaneously, and the eight-year-old Chen Mu was not mentally prepared, but his instinctive desire to escape was stimulated again, so that he rushed to the tree house without any hesitation, wrapped in a leaf quilt, and blindfolded his ears.
He was indeed too tired for such a young man, no matter what happened tonight and what his fate was, it was already doomed, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.
A ray of sunshine in the early morning, as usual, through the crack in the roof sunburned Chen Mu's face, he stretched his waist, very calmly looked at the palm of his hand, everything is so illusory, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it, this is Chen Mu's most simple way of doing things, tried and tested, the encounter a year ago made him fade away from the immaturity of a child, made him see the wonder of all things, and made him believe that the outside world must be more exciting!
After carefully observing for a long time, there were no wild beasts around, and checking his body again, there was nothing unusual, Chen Mu gently climbed down the tree house, came to the lake and picked up his fishing rod, pondered for a while, tied the fishing line and continued fishing......
The trial task given to him by the village chief was simple, that is, to catch a fish from Shuijing Lake in thirty days and eat only one bucket of dried fish. A bucket of dried fish can be eaten for half a month, and there is still half a month to fish or eat wild fruits, if you can't help but eat a second bucket of dried fish or don't catch fish, then the trial is considered a failure.
For Chen Mu, who chose his surname amnesia, the strange incident last night did not bring him any shadow in his heart. He knew that there must be fish in the lake, and he believed that he would be able to catch one if he persevered for thirty days.
There were no wild beast tracks in the surrounding meadow, as if they had appeared out of thin air last night, and there were no trees in the woods that had been trampled by giant beasts, and the Water Mirror Lake was still so calm, but it seemed to be different.
Chen Mu soon found that Shuijing Lake no longer reflected light, the water on the shore was crystal clear, all kinds of colorful aquatic plants and unknown big fish were swimming happily in the water, he had never seen such a beautiful underwater world, and he was stunned for a while.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, and the idea of going to the bottom of the lake was born in his mind, but after thinking about it, he knew that he did not have the ability to go to the mysterious center of the lake now, and when he was successful in his studies in the future, he would definitely come back to reveal the secrets of Shuijing Lake.
A flat thing on the water in the distance slowly floated in the direction of Chen Mu with the breeze......
