Chapter 1673: Chapter 824: A Crimson Egg? Leaving the Secret Realm!
In the center of the room, there was a mysterious red egg.
Above the egg, there seemed to be some strange patterns.
"What kind of egg is this?"
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the entrance of the room, their eyes drawn to the red egg.
The egg’s shell shone with a peculiar light, seemingly containing some powerful force.
Besides this egg, the room appeared exceptionally empty, with only some ancient patterns carved on the walls, as if telling a certain legend.
"I’ve never seen an egg like this," Luo Chen said softly, his eyes carefully examining the patterns on the egg shell.
Qing Shuang nodded slightly, responding softly, "Yes, the material and aura of this egg are very special. I feel it might be closely related to these ruins."
The two slowly walked into the room, carefully observing the egg.
Luo Chen noticed that the patterns on the egg shell seemed to have some connection with the designs on the room’s walls, and he began to try to decipher these designs.
"These designs might be an ancient Formation, perhaps related to the hatching of this egg," Luo Chen said, gently brushing his fingers over the patterns.
Qing Shuang also stepped closer, attempting to understand the meaning of these designs: "If this truly is a hatching Formation, then we might need to find a way to activate it."
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up: "Let’s give it a try, but be careful, this ancient Formation might have unexpected effects."
The two began to carefully adjust the energy flow within the room according to the instructions of the designs.
As they moved, the air inside the room began to tremble slightly, and the light on the egg shell grew increasingly brighter.
"It seems our guess was correct," Luo Chen’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Qing Shuang remained cautious, aware that anything might happen: "Continue, Luo Chen, we need to see what purpose this egg serves."
With the continuous adjustment of energy, the light on the egg shell reached its peak and then suddenly burst into a dazzling red glow.
In the red glow, cracks began to appear on the egg shell, hinting that something was about to break free.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breath, watching the scene nervously.
The cracks on the egg shell slowly widened, and a strange creature poked its head out.
It resembled a small bird but was covered with flame-like feathers, appearing extraordinarily beautiful and mysterious.
"Is this... a Phoenix?" Qing Shuang exclaimed in surprise, having heard of such a legendary Divine Beast.
Luo Chen nodded, his eyes filled with wonder: "It seems we have not only discovered the secret of this ruin, but also witnessed the birth of the legendary Phoenix."
The Phoenix appeared curious about Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s presence, gazing at them with clear eyes.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, understanding that the appearance of the Phoenix might mean facing new challenges and opportunities.
"We must treat it carefully; the Phoenix is an extremely powerful entity," Luo Chen whispered.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing Luo Chen’s warning was necessary: "Let’s try not to disturb it and see how it reacts."
The Phoenix flew around the room once, then landed in front of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
It gently touched Luo Chen’s palm with its sharp beak, seemingly expressing some form of friendliness.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a warm power emanating from the Phoenix’s touch, understanding that the Phoenix had no malice towards them.
"It seems to have accepted us," Luo Chen said with a smile.
"Let’s take it away from here," Qing Shuang suggested, glancing around worried about other unknown dangers appearing.
Luo Chen agreed to Qing Shuang’s proposal, and they decided to take the Phoenix to a safer place.
Luo Chen carefully held the Phoenix in his hand, and the Phoenix seemed to understand their intention, quietly resting in his palm.
They returned along the corridor they had come from; along the way, the Phoenix occasionally emitted gentle chirps, seemingly communicating with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang couldn’t understand the Phoenix’s language, they could sense its emotions, a kind of anticipation and curiosity for the new world.
When they returned to the hall, Luo Chen noticed the statue had completely stopped moving, its once glowing red eyes now dull.
He understood that this statue was once the room’s Guardian, and they had passed its test.
"Let’s continue forward," Luo Chen said, his voice carrying a hint of determination.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that more secrets awaited them deep within the ruins to explore.
With the Phoenix in tow, they crossed the hall and entered a new passage.
This passage was darker than the previous corridor, with some glowing gemstones embedded in the walls, emitting a soft glow.
They carefully proceeded along the passage, the Phoenix resting quietly in Luo Chen’s hand.
Suddenly, a Light Gate appeared at the end of the passage, releasing a bright light.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, knowing this Light Gate might lead to a deeper part of the ruins or even a brand new world.
They were filled with anticipation, carrying a hint of nervousness.
"Let’s go," Luo Chen said, his voice full of resolve.
They passed through the Light Gate and found themselves in a strange space.
It seemed like a massive greenhouse, with various enchanting flora growing around, exuding a captivating fragrance.
