Chapter 2934: Second Life 05

Jin Chen picked up a dry tree branch from the ground, not knowing where it came from, and poked the little egg.

The little egg rolled several times from being poked, then stopped.

He poked it again.

The little egg rolled a few times and stopped, then suddenly rolled back on its own, landing right against his hand.

Jin Chen suddenly found it interesting, picked up the little egg, and placed it in his palm.

The little egg became honest again, staying still against his palm.

"What are you?" Jin Chen asked it.

The little egg certainly wouldn't answer.

"Forget it, I'll hold onto it for now and ask Master what it is when I get out." Jin Chen tucked the little egg into his bosom.

Jin Chen turned a few circles on the spot, trying to find a way out.

But no matter which direction he went, he always ended up back where he started.

This place is like a huge labyrinth, with no exit at all.

Jin Chen stopped walking and furrowed his brow.

Master will surely come looking for him soon.

But if he can't get out, Master will have to come in here to find him.

This place is so dangerous; what if Master gets hurt?

As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed something.

He lifted his head.

In the void ahead, light and shadow twisted violently; a demon beast as large as half the sky roared and lunged at him, its appearance ferocious, with eight heads, its body covered in black bone spurs, hideous and terrifying, black vapor rising from it.

"Again!" Jin Chen was both startled and angry, hurriedly stirring his divine power throughout his body; his treasure shone, spiritual power surged forth, and collided with the demon beast.

He was shaken back several steps, and the egg in his hand almost fell out.

The demon beast lunged again.

He blocked again.

He retreated again.

It lunged again.

He blocked again.

Wait a moment.

……Not right.

"This thing is coming for this egg!"

After several attacks, Jin Chen finally realized something was off.

That demon beast, each time it lunged, kept its eyes fixed on the egg in his hand.

The Little Divine Lord also suffered an undeserved disaster; furious, he immediately wanted to throw away this hot potato.

He grabbed the little egg and flung it far to the side, thinking, "If you want to chase it, go ahead, don't drag me down."

But for some reason, the egg seemed stuck to his hand; no matter how he shook it, he couldn't get rid of it.

"Let go!" Jin Chen shouted.

The egg didn't loosen.

"Let go!"

The egg still didn't loosen.

"If you don't let go, I'll throw you at that monster!"

The egg twitched, but still didn't loosen.

Jin Chen was so angry his teeth itched.

Over here, the demon beast lunged again.

He blocked with his treasure on one hand, while on the other he struggled against the egg that clung stubbornly to his hand.

"Let——go——"

The egg stubbornly refused to budge.

Jin Chen was practically laughing from anger.

The demon beast's attacks grew increasingly dense; he gradually found it hard to block, feeling startled, angry, and wronged.

That thing's power was too great; each impact hurt him badly, and his spiritual power could barely keep up.

Suddenly, a sweep of divine power passed.

Where the silver light passed, the terrifying illusion of the eight-headed demon beast didn't even have time to let out a wail before vanishing outright in midair.

Jin Chen stared blankly as he turned his head, gazing at the figure in the spotless divine robe; wherever his eyes fell, even the grayish void seemed to grow a little more docile.

"Master!"

He wanted to run over, but as soon as he took a step, the egg in his hand tugged him.

Chenshu walked over, unhurried; the chaotic magic spirits scattering about automatically retreated as he approached, and even their screeches softened.

Wen Cang followed behind him, eyes wide open, staring at the scene before him.

He couldn't be seeing wrong, could he!

The Little Divine Lord, who had been chased by ancient demons, had that stubborn egg in his bosom…

Could that be a Pixiu divine egg? The one that has survived from antiquity to the present?

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

After Bai Ze was snatched away by Chenshu, could he now lose the Pixiu as well?

Chenshu walked to Jin Chen's front, lowered their head, and looked at them.

Jin Chen's current appearance was indeed somewhat disheveled.

Jin Chen's hair bun was loose, the azure divine lord's regular attire torn in several places by demonic energy, and there were bleeding wounds on the shoulders.

"Master," Jin Chen spoke, voice tinged with a hint of grievance, "That thing is really fierce, chasing me and hitting me."

Chenshu stepped forward, ignored the hesitant Wencang beside Chenshu, whose face was full of distress, and gently pinched Jin Chen's cheek covered in dust.

"Do you know fear now?"

Chenshu's voice showed little fluctuation, but Jin Chen, who knew them well, keenly caught the anger, saying, "Who didn't heed the warning and insist on intruding into such a dangerous place?"

But then the conversation shifted.

"However, Wencang's seal was also not done well."

Wencang: "???"

"What?"

Jin Chen immediately followed up, "Exactly!"

Wencang: "..."

Who let Jin Chen come!

Jin Chen shrank their neck, realizing they were at fault, "I was wrong, Master..."

But thinking back to the recent danger, especially this harmful egg, Jin Chen couldn't help but complain, pointing to the egg in their arms that couldn't be shaken off, "Master, it's all this egg's fault! It got me chased and beaten by that ugly monster, and it refuses to leave!"

Chenshu understood, looking toward the frantic Wencang beside Chenshu, who was anxiously scratching their ears and cheeks.

"High God Wencang, I, this disciple, had previously complained, seeing the White Marsh clever and cute, yet I myself lacked a proper spirit companion."

"The Auspicious Beast possesses wealth-attracting and evil-warding abilities, capable of guarding a region; it somewhat befits my disciple."

Wencang: "..."

"This is a divine object left in this place; it cannot be taken away. It has existed here since ancient times, always sleeping, never hatched. If forcibly taken, it might… oh well, just take it."

Wencang only felt a sharp pain in their chest.

"That's an Auspicious Beast! An ancient Auspicious Beast! Not a cabbage!"

"Master God, you're being too blatant in protecting your shortcomings!"

"Besides, what does 'somewhat befitting' mean? This is clearly a great opportunity!"

But these words, Wencang only dared to roar in their heart, "……Master God's words……are indeed correct."

"Never mind, divine beasts choose their masters; force cannot prevail. Even the White Marsh has been lost; the Auspicious Beast is not lacking this one."

But……Wencang's heart really hurts!
