Chapter 488: Nearly lost my life!

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhangqing hurriedly spoke to stop her: "Don't move them yet! Give the Spirit Beast Bracelet to me; I'll take a look myself! Bird eggs that can remain flashing with lightning light after several hundred years are definitely not simple. Don't risk damaging the formations inside!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded, erased the mana imprint she had left on it, and handed it to Lin Zhangqing.

After he took it, he spent some time completing the refining process. His divine sense probed inside, and he found that space in an instant.

After observing it for a while and confirming there shouldn't be any problems, he carefully retrieved one bird egg.

The individual size was truly not small. Lin Zhangqing held it in his hand and felt that this bird egg was even a bit larger than his own palm, with lightning light flashing on it from time to time.

If this thing were handed to Chen Zi Ya, she might not be able to hold it, but in Lin Zhangqing's hands, it was quite suitable!

Moreover, Lin Zhangqing recognized this thing; he had been fortunate enough to see it once before outside the Ziyang Secret Realm.

At that time, it was a Golden Core True Person from the Yuling Sect who brought it out as a treasure for a bet; it was exactly this kind of Fourth-Tier Thunder Bird King spirit beast egg.

However, although the entire bird egg was flashing with lightning light in his hand, Lin Zhangqing still felt something was strange!

Chen Zi Ya was also quite curious and specially reached out to touch it, only to be shocked by the lightning light on it! Lin Zhangqing placed his hand on it and sensed it carefully. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh! Chen Zi Ya hurriedly asked: "Green Brother! Isn't it something to be happy about, harvesting three high-tier spirit beast eggs? Why are you sighing instead?"

Lin Zhangqing shook his head but still spoke: "This is a dead egg! If I'm not mistaken, including the two inside the Spirit Beast Bracelet, they should all be dead eggs!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zi Ya widened her eyes in disbelief and couldn't help but ask: "That can't be, right! Isn't the surface flashing with lightning light? How could it be a dead egg?"

Lin Zhangqing glanced at her before explaining: "These three Thunder Bird eggs should have been contracted by that person! But because he died, it caused a backlash against these spirit beast eggs. Therefore, the young spirit consciousness inside the eggs couldn't withstand it and has already perished, so these three are all dead eggs!"

Hearing this, Chen Zi Ya was also greatly disappointed and continued to ask: "Then they are completely useless?"

Lin Zhangqing chuckled a few times and said: "That's not the case. To you, they have no use, but to me, they can still be utilized!"

Chen Zi Ya looked at him, not understanding, and wanted to hear his explanation! Lin Zhangqing didn't keep her in suspense and continued: "Although their spirit consciousness has perished, the thunder-attribute origin inside the eggs has not been damaged.

I can eat these eggs to cultivate the Thunder True Scripture; there should be some unexpected effects!"

Hearing this, Chen Zi Ya realized this was how they would be used, but thinking about it, it seemed that was indeed the only use!

Lin Zhangqing retrieved the remaining two spirit beast eggs as well. After checking them, he found the situation was exactly the same as the first one! At this point, both of them completely gave up and accepted this reality. The two flew for several more hours and hunted five Second-Stage demonic beasts.

Seeing that the sky was about right, they found a suitable place and set up a camp. After finishing, the two of them ducked into the formation.

Then the two began to study the spirit beast eggs, both considering how to handle them. After watching for a while, Chen Zi Ya spoke first: "Should we boil them first before eating?"

Lin Zhangqing considered it, shook his head, and said: "That probably won't work! I don't know if that would destroy the thunder-attribute origin! I think it's better to just open a hole on it and eat it raw! Although it might be a bit fishy, at least it ensures we won't waste the item!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zi Ya looked disgusted and shook her head, indicating she would just guard Lin Zhangqing! Lin Zhangqing ignored her; anyway, this thing didn't match her attributes. After he tried it and confirmed there were no problems, he would give her a little to taste! He directly took out the Three Talents Golden Light Sword and opened a hole two or three fingers wide at the top of the spirit beast egg. He carefully smelled it and didn't smell any strange odor.

He probed inside with his divine sense to check, and it was a normal egg structure; the situation Lin Zhangqing feared didn't happen. He was most afraid of finding a semi-finished product inside! So he picked it up and took a big gulp, about one-sixth of the egg liquid. Unexpectedly, as soon as this egg liquid entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a powerful surge of thunder mana.

It rushed directly toward his body's meridians. Such powerful force nearly scared Lin Zhangqing to death, and he hurriedly tried his best to guide this force into his thunder apertures.

Unexpectedly, after this force entered the apertures and was partially absorbed by them, it actually caused the apertures that Lin Zhangqing had already expanded once...

to expand by more than double again. However, at this moment, he was in no mood to check the apertures carefully.

He could only immediately guide it into the next aperture because this force was truly too vast; he was afraid that if he were a moment late, he would be blown up! He was like walking a tightrope now; one careless move, and he could be doomed forever, his body dying and his Dao disappearing! Now he was in no mood to think about other things; he just desperately thought about how to consume this force completely!

Thus, he desperately guided this force to circulate once through the eighteen thunder apertures he had already opened.

Doing this, although it consumed a portion, the remaining part was still no small matter. However, those eighteen thunder apertures had just been powerfully expanded once.

Lin Zhangqing could feel a burning, swelling pain in the corresponding locations, so he didn't dare to guide it into the thunder apertures again, fearing he would really burst them, and then he would be finished!

So he could only bite the bullet and guide it toward the nineteenth aperture, which had been half-opened, and endured pain many times greater than usual.

Unexpectedly, in just a short while, the nineteenth aperture was successfully opened, and it was the same size as the previous eighteen.

By this time, this force had finally been consumed by half and was no longer so vast. Lin Zhangqing felt slightly relieved. He now knew what to do, so he hurriedly continued to guide it toward the twentieth aperture. Not long after, it was also successfully opened.

The rest goes without saying; he continued to guide it to the next aperture. Finally, after the twenty-first thunder aperture was opened, this force was completely consumed! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
