The shell’s exterior was identical to the black, translucent egg in her memory, but its size was vastly different!
She approached and saw the opening cracked in the center of the shell…
It looked like… something had been born from within?
As she drew closer, she could faintly sense her own and Long Li Xing’s aura on the shell! So… was it because she had dripped her blood onto the translucent egg back then?
Then what was this cracked opening? Could it be… that something had truly hatched?
At this moment, far away at the port of Fanyin City…
The raggedly dressed little girl suddenly stopped her work, looking up in another direction, her heterochromatic eyes filled with bewilderment! She murmured to herself…
“Such a familiar scent, Mother… is that you?”
The little boy beside her noticed her dazed expression and instinctively asked with confusion.
“Little sister, what mother are you talking about?”
Hearing his voice, the little girl suddenly awoke and looked at the boy with a strange expression…
“What mother?”
She didn’t remember saying anything just now!
Seeing this, the boy didn’t say anything else, thinking he had misheard! He smiled and changed the subject.
“It’s nothing. If we don’t get any business later, I’ll take you to eat buns! We’ve earned quite a few spirit stones recently, enough for us to live for half a month!”
It was also thanks to that beautiful elder sister earlier, who was so generous with her money!
The little girl’s eyes lit up at his words, and she quickly forgot the nostalgic and familiar feeling from moments ago.
On the other side, Jin Bao'er handed the elf branch to the Elf Queen and, after confirming that Long Li Xing was enveloped in power and absorbing it, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the Immortal-Demon Battlefield…
The moment she stepped into the training ground, a certain man’s expression instantly changed. His gaze fell upon the various demon beasts being screened before him, and a bold plan suddenly emerged in his mind!
He remembered that woman had only just advanced to Heavenly Dao Saint, hadn’t she? He wondered what would happen if she faced about fifty Void Breaking Realm demon beasts! Haha! The thought of it made him feel exhilarated! He had to get back at her for the beating he took earlier!
Just imagining the scene of that woman being ganged up on by demon beasts made him unable to help but laugh out loud in excitement, his expression becoming increasingly twisted!
The mutated demon beasts shivered: The trial master today is so terrifying!!
Thus, when Jin Bao'er entered the training ground and was once again suppressed from using her spiritual energy, she chose to traverse the training ground on foot! After walking for a long time, a group of mutated Void Breaking Realm demon beasts of various sizes suddenly appeared ahead, charging at her as if they were mad…
The ground began to tremble at that moment!
The trial master stood in the distance, frowning slightly as he watched the horde of demon beasts charging one after another! He murmured to himself…
“Strange, why does the number feel off?”
Logically speaking, the demon beasts in this forest had almost all mutated due to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, their strength exceeding that of their peers, and their numbers were inexhaustible. Yet, only about fifty had been summoned by him today. Where had the others gone?
Jin Bao'er stood on the spot, frowning. Just as the leading demon beasts were about to pounce, she exerted all her strength and leaped upwards, watching as the demon beasts smashed heavily onto the ground…
Then, she let her body fall, landing lightly on a branch! She calmly looked at the demon beasts below, shaking their heads and glaring at her menacingly.
“Just asking, have you seen a phoenix or a white tiger?”
Now that she was out, her first priority was to find her companions and leave this place. However, the suppression in the training ground seemed heavier than before, and she couldn’t sense the location of those two.
“Roar roar!”
Hearing her words, a giant demon beast that looked like a tiger growled menacingly, baring its fangs! Its icy beastly eyes held only greed, hunger, and utter disdain!
Was this a refusal to cooperate?
The other demon beasts, hearing this, raised their heads proudly, showing no fear of this cultivator whose cultivation was slightly higher than theirs! Clearly, they hadn’t encountered stronger opponents before, but in this training ground where spiritual energy was suppressed, their advantage was greater!
Their eyes stared at her with undisguised nakedness…
Jin Bao'er pursed her lips, her gaze flickering! Just as she was about to take action to teach them what it meant to "answer when asked," a childish voice sounded in her ear.
“Master, Master! Leave it to me!! You don’t need to deal with these minor pests~ If you get your precious, tender little hands dirty, I’ll be heartbroken!”
As soon as the words fell, the slender fingers that slowly extended paused slightly…
“Alright~”
The moment she nodded, a faint glow suddenly lit up beside her. A giant, light pink, frosted clam shell abruptly appeared. Perhaps it had never eaten demon beasts, which looked like very good creatures, as the clam shell was extremely excited! It directly smashed down from the tree…
“Bang!”
A heavy thud echoed. Two unfortunate demon beasts were immediately crushed into cushioning and knocked unconscious on the spot. The clam shell didn’t waste any time, extending its long, powerful tongue to quickly wrap around the two demon beasts and then performed a live swallowing magic show!
The two huge Void Breaking Realm demon beasts vanished in the blink of an eye, not even a single hair left…
The other demon beasts looked on in horror: “……”
What kind of monster is this?! Eating demon beasts alive?
The leading tiger-like demon beast pondered for a moment before its gaze shifted to Jin Bao'er. It slowly retreated and vanished into the bushes, its footsteps so light they made almost no sound!
Although Jin Bao'er stood on the tree and observed the entire process, her keen senses still picked up that intense malice! She glanced towards a certain corner but made no move.
The giant clam was exceptionally excited after eating two demon beasts! It turned to Jin Bao'er and enthusiastically invited her!
“Master! This thing tastes especially good! Much better than those demons before. Master, you should try some too! It really tastes amazing! Super, super delicious!”
Hearing this, Jin Bao'er glanced at the surrounding demon beasts. Their fetid fangs, claws still stained with scraps of flesh, and matted, dirty fur… Her eye twitched slightly, and her calm gaze showed a hint of disdain.
“No need! I don’t value gluttony!”
Although rejected, the giant clam was not disappointed. Instead, it became even happier! If the master didn’t eat, then it would all be hers!
The next second, the giant clam suddenly grew larger, opening its enormous mouth and lunging towards the cluster of demon beasts. A shadow fell, and all the demon beasts, terrified, scrambled backward. Only a few reacted in time, raising their claws and fangs to pounce fiercely, scratching and biting at the clam shell!
Some of the faster demon beasts even leaped onto the giant clam’s back and punched down with their fists…
“Bang!”
After a muffled thud, the clam shell didn’t move. Its hard exterior remained completely unharmed! On the other hand, the demon beast that struck out yelped in pain, then its entire body was wrapped by a soft, flabby tongue and with a powerful tug, its figure vanished with a “whoosh”!
