"Timely, make a move?"

The hero turned his head with difficulty, looking toward Tang Luo.

Tang Luo nodded seriously: "This egg, one look and you know there's a very dangerous magical beast inside. As a relatively special existence in the ruins, once they come out, they will survive for a long time, causing greater destruction than the Miracle King, and must be eliminated early."

"I know that naturally!" The hero was somewhat frantic.

Among many examples of relying on ruins to turn one's fortunes around, there is "ruins magical beast turning fortunes."

Many powerful magical beasts continue their species by laying eggs.

Therefore, the existence of magical beast eggs in the ruins is reasonable, and as magical beasts hatched from eggs, taking the first living thing they see after hatching as their "mother" is also reasonable.

"Knowing is good."

Tang Luo nodded with a relieved expression, the pupil can be taught.

"... My question is, why do we have to smash this egg? If we take the egg out, we will definitely obtain a powerful pet! Just like your 'doggy'." The hero asked.

Merlin stared at Tang Luo.

The other two also looked at Tang Luo, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"It won't." Tang Luo said, "Have you not noticed the evil aura emanating from this egg?"

"Huh?" The hero was stunned.

"Without a doubt, the magical beast inside this egg is an extremely ferocious magical beast. I and Doggy, standing ten meters away, can feel the evil aura inside the egg." Tang Luo had a solemn expression, "This is still in the unformed state; at the moment of formation before breaking out of the shell, that evil aura cannot be concealed at all."

"... Really?" Merlin asked.

"Of course it's true. I am the continent's number one beast tamer. When it comes to magical beasts, no one's understanding surpasses mine." Tang Luo spoke fluently, "This magical beast is called the Bloodthirsty Beast, resembling a tiger, with strange double claws on its back. This magical beast does not take the first living thing it sees at birth as its mother, nor can it be tamed. Moreover, this magical beast is bloodthirsty, especially fond of human blood."

"In the past war between the demon race and humans, the demon race drove this magical beast to serve as vanguard."

"Isn't it said it cannot be tamed?" Merlin asked strangely.

"Because it doesn't need to be tamed." Tang Luo said.

Everyone unconsciously looked toward Arthur.

Among the crowd, he is the most well-informed and experienced.

Arthur nodded steadily.

Arthur happens to know about the Bloodthirsty Beast; this magical beast's true form has long been extinct, and in the ruins, only one or two have appeared.

If it weren't for Arthur's former teammate happening to be a beast tamer, Arthur would not have learned about the Bloodthirsty Beast in casual conversation.

Tang Luo naturally is not speaking nonsense or talking wildly.

Although the demon race is weak, their long lifespan is a major advantage, and they still have many collections of books.

During this time in the demon king's territory, Tang Luo would read books to pass the time when he had nothing to do, truly "having read extensively."

Fooling these people is no problem.

The Bloodthirsty Beast truly exists, but whether this egg contains a Bloodthirsty Beast, Tang Luo is not clear.

Even after smashing it, one cannot tell.

One characteristic of magical beast eggs is that they only form before breaking out of the shell; otherwise, the inside is just "egg yolk plus egg white."

To determine what kind of magical beast egg it is, one needs to judge by different characteristics of the shell.

Among those present, no one has this ability.

We can only listen to Tang Luo boasting wildly.

"What if it can be tamed?" The hero believed, yet still somewhat unwilling.

He is, after all, a hero, whose basic specialty is turning the impossible into possible.

Just because others cannot tame a magical beast does not mean the hero cannot.

"Can you simply cast a fireball technique?" Tang Luo suddenly asked.

"Ah?" The hero was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, "Yes, Merlin can too."

"Then good, come on, let's go gather firewood." Tang Luo said with a smile.

"Why?"

The style shifted too quickly, and everyone couldn't react in time.

"Eat the egg." Tang Luo said matter-of-factly, "You haven't seen, part of the egg white has flowed out, the rest still adheres to the eggshell, this is good stuff."

Magical beast's egg, delicious egg! Nutritious egg!

Don't misunderstand, this saying did not come from the demon race, but from a certain generation of heroes.

"Why?" Merlin widened his eyes, his face writing disbelief and hard to accept, "Already killed, why still..."

"Yeah, I think this is not good." The hero stood on the side of his childhood sweetheart.

"Then fine, you watch me eat." Tang Luo also didn't mind, saying with a smile.

The Heavenly Howling Dog had already gone to collect firewood.

As for the fire-breathing problem, the Heavenly Howling Dog can actually breathe fire, but only needs to adjust the power properly; otherwise, one mouthful would blow the firewood directly into powdered charcoal, making it unusable for starting a fire.

"We are exploring the ruins." Arthur said, coughing once.

This is not a countryside outing!

"Yeah, boiling eggs is also part of the gains from exploring the ruins, you guys sure you don't want any?" Tang Luo said with a smile, "If not, you can go ahead first, it's fine, I have Doggy, I can catch up later."

"..."

A few minutes later, the hero gave a thumbs-up: "Truly fragrant! Anubis, you can cook too."

"It has nothing to do with me, it's because of the ingredients, all are essences." Tang Luo said.

"Yeah, after all, it's the egg of a powerful magical beast." Arthur continued to nod steadily.

Merlin said nothing, eating in small mouthfuls, his speed not slow at all.

Although there is no longer the destined divine pet, being able to eat a meal, the hero finally felt content and continued exploring the ruins.

The time was about up, and no one wanted to stay longer in the ruins, so they began to head back.

They left just before the ruins closed.

In the following days, the Heavenly Soldiers Adventuring Group continued exploring the ruins, gaining much, and the hero learned a new spell.

Making him stronger and more well-rounded.

Tang Luo compared the situation with the Demon King Akmon, and the hero, at this rate of progress, would completely surpass Akmon within a year.

Moreover, with the hero's trait, in a year he could lead his companions to storm the Demon King's castle, find Akmon, and beat him badly.

Of course, now with Tang Luo and these demonic beings intruding, the fates of both sides have completely changed.

Into the mist of the unknown.

Over the next two months or so, Tang Luo followed the hero on adventures, already having integrated into the adventuring party.

Helping the hero in various ways.

For example, when the hero found a very powerful divine sword, Tang Luo suddenly struck to destroy it, then spent the next five minutes in deep analysis, seriously examining it, making the hero deeply grateful.

Tang Luo said:

This sword is named the "Shattered Dream Sword," a sword of great demonic nature.

How demonic is it?

The wielder of the Shattered Dream Sword, upon obtaining it, will see a short-term surge in strength, followed by any woman with a close relationship to the wielder running off with wild men.

Without exception.

There was once a monk who thought himself a lonely bachelor, with no sisters, wife, or close female friends, so he took the Shattered Dream Sword.

Unexpectedly, a month later, news spread that his seventy-year-old mother back home had an affair with the neighboring Old Man Wang.

He spat out three liters of blood on the spot.

What, why would I know these things?

As the continent's top beast tamer and top support, knowing this information is perfectly reasonable.

Because books are the ladder of human progress.

I can become the continent's top beast tamer and top support because I have mastered knowledge that most people cannot access.

My knowledge is extremely broad.

I ask you all: over this period, has my broad knowledge not yet convinced you?

Then everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, as the continent's top beast tamer and top support, Anubis's rich knowledge is fundamentally beyond what these ordinary adventurers can match.

Even the experienced Uncle Arthur cannot compare.

Moreover, Arthur's rich experience is limited only to adventuring.

But Anubis is different—he can list three main points for almost anything, with five subpoints under each.

Learned!

This is the greatest impression Anubis has left on everyone.

As for why Tang Luo is so learned, one reason is his strong ability to make things up—don't forget, he was once the top literary figure of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Author of the bestseller *My Little Sister……*

Without some ability to make things up, what would he write?

It is well known that for writers whose profession is making up stories, their ability to fabricate ranks among the top in all professions.

The preceding professions include celebrities, politicians, and some reporters, etc.

The difference is, some people you know are making up stories the moment they open their mouth; others, without speaking, you just know they will inevitably make up stories.

I've gone off track.

Another reason for Tang Luo's vast learning is his powerful backing team.

That is the demon race.

Tang Luo contacted Ao Yulie and others through the Gray Mist, and now in the demon race's territory, there is a dedicated team.

On duty around the clock, ready at any time to answer Tang Luo's questions.

Relying solely on making things up won't work; having both truth and falsehood is the true way.

Only then can he better deceive the hero and his companions—the hero's group is not completely ignorant.

Tang Luo's help to the hero and his companions is not limited to equipment selection.

It also includes detoxification and healing.

Once, the hero, Merlin, Kelan, and another female member of a temporarily cooperating adventuring party were poisoned by some discordant toxins.

When everyone was at a loss, gritting their teeth and preparing to face the discord, Tang Luo stepped forward.

With a wave of his hand, he successfully detoxified them, avoiding the discordant incident.

As a result, afterward, the hero, Merlin, Kelan, and the other female adventuring party member looked at Tang Luo with rather strange eyes.

And with a touch of resentment.

Also, during one adventure, due to the hero's carelessness, they fell into danger, the group split up, and Kelan fearlessly blocked a blade for the hero.

The two had no choice but to recuperate in a certain chamber of the ruins.

With Kelan severely injured, Tang Luo stepped forward again, using the Heavenly Howling Dog, and within five minutes found Kelan, treated her wound, and even eliminated the need for the hero to carry her to find a healer.

Also, Merlin was cursed during an adventure; legend says only a legendary master's secret transmission, plus some methods, can undo it.

The hero decided to take Merlin to find that legendary master, no matter the cost, to save Merlin.

Similar to wuxia novels, seeking a reclusive master or going to Shaolin.

There will surely be a good outcome—learning the secret transmission shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Meanwhile, Tang Luo deeply felt this matter took too long; as the hero, your primary task is to defeat the Demon King—how can you waste time on side quests?

With a wave of his hand, he saved Merlin.

Now, Tang Luo is called "Master" by the heroes.

Everyone knows that the heroes' new companion is a learned, all-powerful strong one, Master Anubis.

It is simply enviable to others.
