Chapter 942: One Dares to Say! One Dares to Believe
In the pitch-black night, Xia Yao's eyes gleamed with the light of a hungry wolf!
Hehehe, she laughed quietly, about to make a move!
But just then!
Zi Yuan, dressed in a white bunny pajama, suddenly burst into the RV, opening the door, about to speak!
She saw Xia Yao sitting next to Jiangnan, her hand still hovering in mid-air...
As soon as she saw Zi Yuan, Xia Yao, like a thief caught red-handed, quickly pulled her hand behind her back and hid it!
Zi Yuan's face instantly turned red: "S-sorry... I didn't know you two were discussing a problem... I'll come back later!"
She said, about to run out!
Jiangnan rolled his eyes and quickly called out: "Chotto matte~ What do you mean by 'discussing a problem'? I was just helping her eliminate the side effects of the Horse Biscuit!"
He said, nudging Xia Yao with his elbow.
Xia Yao nodded vigorously.
(๐•̀◠•́) "Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly it! It's not what you're thinking at all!"
Dammit! That useless Zi Yuan is ruining my good stuff!
Zi Yuan rolled her eyes. Like I'd believe the two of you!
But she didn't have time to bother with this right now. She said with a panicked expression:
"You don't know, but I just laid an egg!"
Jiangnan lay on the bed, completely unfazed.
∠(≖‸≖」∠)_
"Hmm... And then?"
Zi Yuan's eyes widened. What do you mean "and then"? Shouldn't you be super shocked?
"You don't believe me, right? Look! It's still warm!"
She said, pulling a large chicken egg out of her pajama pocket!
(๐ᵒ̌⌂ᵒ̌)つ(egg)
Jiangnan glanced at it: "Tch~ That's it? It's not even as big as the one I laid!"
Zi Yuan: ∑(°口°๑)
"What? How is that possible? You laid an egg too?"
Jiangnan reached back into the Alternate Dimension and pulled out the egg he had just laid!
"Here, isn't it? Everyone lays eggs? Why make such a fuss over it?"
Zi Yuan was dumbfounded. She quickly ran over, took Jiangnan's egg, and examined it closely.
It really was similar to the one she had laid; he wasn't fooling her!
"You're lying! How could humans lay eggs? We're mammals! Don't bully me because I'm not well-read! Something's definitely wrong!"
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"I, Jiang Nangou, never lie, okay? In a lifetime, humans lay three eggs: one in youth, one in middle age, and one in old age!"
"Once you lay the old-age egg, you're close to death, so that egg is also called a 'finished egg'."
Zi Yuan's eyes widened, stunned: "Re-really? Then why have I never heard anyone talk about laying eggs before?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Isn't it obvious? Something as private as laying eggs, who would go around telling everyone about it?"
"Besides, the state of the egg can reflect a person's current physical condition!"
Xia Yao beside him was about to burst with laughter. Xiao Nan, can you be any worse?
One dares to say, one dares to believe!
Then she decided to help Jiangnan in his mischief: "Mmm~ I haven't laid an egg yet either. By my calculations, it should be about time for me to lay one. I'm actually looking forward to it!"
Zi Yuan's worldview shattered. So humans really do lay eggs!
"Th-then... can you take a look at my egg? Is it in good condition?"
Jiangnan took the egg and observed it for a long time.
"Mmm~ The shell is hard and intact, not a soft-boiled egg. The yolk and white are clearly separated, not a messed-up egg. It's freshly laid, so not a bad egg either."
"Judging by the glossy sheen, the slightly heavy weight, and the moderate diameter... this is very likely a 'stupid chicken's egg'!"
"Take it back and treasure it well!"
Zi Yuan frowned: "Stupid chicken's egg? Stupid... idiot?"
[From Zi Yuan's Rage Points +1000!]
Her voice suddenly rose an octave, and she ground her teeth. She lunged forward, grabbed Jiangnan by the neck, and shook him violently!
"You called my egg an idiot egg! Were you tricking me all along? And I actually believed you just now!"
"I'll choke you to death! Tell me, what's really going on here?"
Jiangnan was choked until his eyes rolled back.
"Cough~ I'm just teasing you! It's a side effect of the Chicken Biscuit!"
Zi Yuan gritted her teeth. What kind of lousy cookie is this? Getting me all worried for nothing!
She grabbed a pillow and threw it out the window!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up, and he instantly teleported out to retrieve the pillow.
"You're not sleeping tonight! I'll run you ragged!"
[From Zi Yuan's Rage Points +1000!]
...
While Jiangnan was having a comfortable night, the situation for the Hunter Group was completely different!
On a massive floating island, the remaining five hundred or so poachers had finally regrouped with difficulty.
Each one was covered in dirt and grime, looking utterly miserable. Many sat by trees, gnawing on grass roots and wild fruits, looking like primitive people.
Others had simply fallen asleep on the ground, covered with a large tree leaf, shivering from the cold.
Next to them lay the corpse of a huge silver mink, its body charred black. It was only Diamond 5, but it had killed dozens of poachers!
Jin Hao had barely managed to kill it at the cost of severe injuries.
At that moment, many poachers were drooling at the sight of the silver mink corpse.
"Why eat grass roots and wild fruits? Wouldn't it be delicious to start a fire and roast the silver mink?"
"Start a fire? Are you crazy? You want to attract other spirit beasts? Once the smell of roasted meat spreads, if another space-type spirit beast shows up, who can handle it?"
"Dammit! That little bastard Jiangnan took all our supplies! We still have ten days before we can leave! This is a death sentence!"
"If I had known the Void Sea was this dangerous, I would never have come, even if you paid me!"
[From Wu Hui's Rage Points +1000!]
[From Liu Xianggu...]
While the people above were grumbling, several earth-type cultivators were busy digging pits.
After working all night, they had already excavated a massive pit several kilometers in diameter!
Inside the pit lay a collapsed and heavily damaged ruin, covering a large area, buried deep in the soil.
From the architectural fragments, one could barely make out a distinctive style, completely unlike anything from Lan Xing.
It was built from an unknown gray-white stone material that was extremely hard. Even a full-force attack from a Platinum-level spirit warrior couldn't leave a single mark!
No one knew how it had collapsed like this.
At the moment, many poachers were digging with clanking sounds, faces full of excitement.
This ruin had been exposed when Jin Hao and the silver mink fought and blasted away the surface soil!
"Boss! I found another fragment!"
Jin Hao sat on a rock, his body wrapped in bandages. Two healing-type poachers were treating his wounds.
Hearing this, he laughed heartily: "Bring it over! I'll cut you in on the money later!"
The poacher ran over carrying a piece of stone tablet about the size of a human head!
In front of Jin Hao on the ground, there were already more than thirty fragments of a crystal stone tablet!
They still couldn't reassemble the complete tablet; they had only found about a third of it!
The crystal tablet was covered in tiny handwriting, all complex runic patterns, and even scattered intricate carvings!
Jin Hao fitted the newly dug fragment into the tablet.
His eyes were filled with excitement!
"Damn! What a stroke of luck! We're rich! Filthy rich!"
"I don't know what this thing is, but anything with runes on it is worth a fortune!"
"If we sell this abroad, each fragment is worth an astronomical number!"
"Even just the material itself is already incredible, right? I can't even damage it!"
If Jiangnan were here, he would recognize that the tablet was made of the same material as the Void Nail.
At this moment, Zhang San stood right next to the tablet, carefully observing it.
He even pulled out his phone, turned on the flash, zoomed in, and took photos...
Jin Hao beside him was completely oblivious!
