Chapter 166

So.

Temperature was no longer a problem.

But...

He still had to find a place to hatch this egg in such high heat!

He couldn't hatch an egg in this villa, could he?

Once the temperature got high, everything would catch fire; not to mention this villa, the entire residential area would be in danger...

"I have to go to the wilderness."

"But I also need to find a safe place in the wilderness where I won't be disturbed."

Chen Yang thought for a moment.

Now, within the territory of the Great Ming, although public security is good, basically no place is completely isolated from people on land.

Great Ming powerhouses are patrolling the territory at all times.

It's not that these Great Ming powerhouses would affect Chen Yang's hatching of this Phoenix egg...

It's just that this thing is too shocking; it has never appeared on Blue Star before.

Once the news spreads.

It is very likely to attract various factions, and even if it only has a tiny impact on Chen Yang, it's not something he wants to see.

Chen Yang could make himself and the girls invisible.

But the high heat during the hatching of the Phoenix egg couldn't be shielded!

Once someone senses the high heat, it might lead to some unnecessary trouble.

In this situation.

Chen Yang thought about it and felt there was only one place that was absolutely safe.

And that is—the seabed!

On the current Blue Star, both the ocean area and the land area have expanded by an unknown number of times.

On land, there are human job changers fighting monsters and clearing dungeons/secret realms.

But in the ocean...

It has basically completely fallen.

Countless monsters suitable for ocean survival have already occupied the entire ocean!

Due to environmental issues, those who can go to the ocean to clear dungeons must be at least level 100 powerhouses with sufficiently high constitution attributes.

Otherwise, in the ocean, they wouldn't be able to hold their breath long enough, and they would suffocate before they could even clear a dungeon or secret realm.

Most importantly...

Due to the complex ocean environment.

Many high-level, powerful ocean monsters roam around, leading to very few people going to the ocean, and even fewer wandering around in it.

"As long as I find an environment near a volcano and raise the surrounding temperature, I can hatch the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden without anyone knowing."

Chen Yang pondered for a while.

For him, he could activate a specialized underwater breathing aura, making breathing underwater no problem at all.

In addition, the temperature near underwater volcanoes is already high.

Hatching nearby wouldn't attract the attention of surrounding monsters.

As long as he activates the God-level Stealth aura, he is absolutely safe; he could even continuously clear monsters on the seabed, allowing Isabella and Ao Qingyue to gain experience for their origin skills.

This point cannot be ignored either.

On land.

There aren't that many monsters to kill outside.

But on the seabed...

There are monsters everywhere!

"Seven days, I can't waste them."

"I have to find something to do."

"If I go to the seabed, over these seven days, I can at least let them upgrade their origin skills to level 30 or higher."

Chen Yang thought it over and over.

Finally, he made a decision.

He would leave the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden's golden egg for now; after he cleared the Shi Shi-grade secret realm, he would take the egg to the seabed to hatch.

"I wonder what profession this Phoenix Heavenly Maiden will be once she hatches?"

"It looks like she should be a Fire-type Mage, right?"

Chen Yang was quite looking forward to it.

Now.

He had reached level 42, and upon reaching level 40, he could already activate nine God-grade auras simultaneously.

This allowed him to adapt to more complex environments.

Going to the seabed wouldn't be a big problem either.

Although there are some top-tier monsters on the seabed that are stronger than the strongest humans, in Chen Yang's view, they are still not as scary as humans... after all, the rules of the seabed are simple; it's the most plain and unadorned law of the jungle.

With Chen Yang's ability.

As long as he isn't targeted, surviving in this environment is too easy.

If he were exposed in human society...

Then he could be certain that he would be targeted 100%, and it would be hard to predict what would happen then.

After the summoning ended.

Chen Yang first moved the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden egg to the basement.

Then he took the other girls and left to find some small dungeons outside to level up the two newly learned origin skills.

This was relatively easy, no need to worry about dungeons being snatched or anything.

Anyway, as long as he killed monsters, it was fine; there were no requirements for monster level or grade, and ordinary dungeons were fine to enter.

After a day.

The levels of the two origin skills, 【Solid as a Golden Cauldron】 and 【Shadow Erosion】, had both risen to level 11.

As for the previous 【Black Hole Vortex】 and 【Peerless Sword Array】, they had finally reached level 20, each activating special effects!

And Chen Yang's level, under the effect of the 20x experience bonus, had also risen to level 43; although the efficiency of clearing small dungeons was relatively slow for him, the experience was always rising.

"Almost there, I can go clear the Shi Shi-grade secret realm."

Chen Yang had everything prepared.

He first took the girls back to the villa in Ziyun Manor and had something to eat.

Then he set off.

And when he reached level 43, the Angel Maid Vivian's level had also caught up, reaching level 43 like the others.

She had unlocked two brand-new skills!

——

【Skill 6: Angelic Delicacy. Condense holy light to cook various kinds of gourmet food; after eating, you can restore satiety and gain random buff states.】

【Skill 7: Maid's Protection. Protection from an Angel Maid; when in a party with Vivian, immune to all mental control skills!】

——

Must say.

Both of these skills were very practical.

The sixth skill, 【Angelic Delicacy】, allowed her to consume mana to cook various foods out of thin air, which not only filled the stomach but also provided random buff states.

Just now...

The food Chen Yang and the girls ate was cooked by Vivian.

Now they had several buff states on them, like attack increased by 15%, defense increased by 10%, speed increased by 12%... and so on.

And this was exactly the reason why Chen Yang planned to spend seven days on the seabed.

Without this skill...

He was afraid he would starve to death on the seabed...

As for the seventh skill, 【Maid's Protection】, it was a very powerful passive.
