Chapter 389: Seizing the Companion Egg

The average stone beast is only half a human's height, looks like a lion dog, and has a body made of gray-white rock.

However, the stone beast that the students were besieging was a little different. Its body was as crystal clear as mutton-fat white jade, and it was also much taller, about the same size as a racehorse.

Those mortal-level students surrounded the stone beast, but their fists, palms and other energy skills had almost no effect on the stone beast.

Because the chance of a companion egg dropping at the mortal level is too low, those students have no companion pets and can only rely on their own strength to fight, but the effect is obviously not very good. One student was even scratched by the stone beast.

When Li Xuan saw that it was his classmate, he carried the Thunder God Sword and went over and killed the stone beast with one sword to prevent them from being hurt by the stone beast again.

The stone beast was split into two halves by Li Xuan, and a crystal jade egg fell out of its body. It turned out to be a companion egg.

"Oh my god, my luck can't be that great?" Li Xuan looked at the companion egg in surprise.

Although it was a mutated Longmen Stone Beast, it was still at the mortal level. The chance of a mortal-level beast dropping a companion egg was almost the same as buying a lottery ticket. I was really lucky that one popped up this time.

Those students were also staring at the companion egg. Mortal-level companion eggs are rare to begin with, and they are a mutant variety, so their properties must be good. Who wouldn't want one?

However, the mutant stone beast was killed by Li Xuan, so they didn't dare to snatch it. But if they were asked to give up, they would be unwilling to do so, after all, they were the first to discover the mutant stone beast.

"Divide the companion eggs among yourselves." Li Xuan had no interest in the mutant stone beast's companion eggs. He was just helping out and had no intention of sharing anything.

When the students heard this, they were overjoyed. Two students were still hesitating, but the other three students had already rushed towards the companion egg.

The three of them refused to give in and started fighting over the item. The other two students reacted and joined the fight.

Who doesn't want to have a companion pet? However, most students may not be able to reach the legendary level in four years of college. One reason is that they don't practice the Qi Jue well, the other is that they don't have enough resources, and the other reason is that they lack comprehension.

Generally, one needs to comprehend the Yuan Qi Jue by oneself before being able to advance to the next level. The one like the Mi Xian Jing that can be advanced as soon as the attributes are reached is itself an outlier.

Li Xuan glanced at the classmates vying for the Companion Egg, curled his lips, and said to Zhou Wen, "Reality is so cruel. No matter how good your relationship is, once personal interests are involved, classmates and friends are not worth mentioning at all. You and I should be thankful that we didn't fall to the point of competing with them for things."

Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. We still need to fight for things, but the things we fight for are just higher-level. There's no fundamental difference. The level of sadness doesn't decrease just because the things are higher-level."

"That's true. In today's world, it's really hard to say who is a human or a demon." Li Xuan sighed.

Obviously, he thought about his family affairs again. Even his brothers were unreliable.

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Zhou Wen didn't want to continue this topic. Once the restrictions of the dimensional field are completely invalidated in the future, more similar things will happen. In order to survive, many people can do anything.

The two were about to leave when they suddenly heard a bird singing from the sky. The bird standing on Zhou Wen's shoulder stood up with its light golden feathers as if it had encountered an enemy, and looked up at the sky.

Zhou Wen was slightly startled and looked up, only to see a large golden bird swooping down from the sky like a golden cloud, its target actually being them.

"Get out of the way." Zhou Wen felt a sense of danger and yelled at the students, while pulling Li Xuan back quickly.

The students were still fighting over the companion egg, and no one paid any attention to Zhou Wen. The big bird like a golden cloud fell down, but before the bird arrived, a terrifying hurricane rolled down from a great height, directly sweeping the five students away. Their bodies flew more than ten feet, and some hit the stone statue, while others fell to the ground. They immediately vomited blood from their mouths and could not even get up.

The big bird swallowed the companion egg in one gulp. Without even touching the ground with its claws, it flapped its wings, and another hurricane arose. In an instant, it flew into the sky again and soon disappeared.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were pressed against the wall, holding onto a Buddha statue with their hands, so they were not blown away by the hurricane. However, the other students were not so lucky. They rolled around in the hurricane, their bodies covered in blood, and it was unknown whether they were killed or not.

"That bird just now...could it be the golden-winged Roc?" Li Xuan said in surprise, looking at the sky.

"It shouldn't be. If it's the Golden-winged Roc, it would be even more terrifying." Zhou Wen shook his head. Seeing those students screaming, although they were not dead yet, he didn't know how many bones they had broken. He didn't dare to move them casually, and he didn't have any healing skills. He could only go out and call the college's medical department to ask the doctor to come and treat them.

"Old Zhou, I think the big golden bird should be on the top of the mountain of Longmen Grottoes. Why don't we go over and take a look?" Li Xuan suggested.

Zhou Wen looked at the bird, which had regained its composure, and after a moment of deep thought, he shook his head and said, "It's better not to go. That big bird is probably extraordinary, and it's not something you and I can defeat."

While the two were talking, doctors and tutors had already rushed over. The first tutor to arrive was Zhou Wen and his classmates' new tutor. Seeing the miserable condition of the five students, the new tutor couldn't help but frown.

"What exactly happened?" The new mentor Wu Yusheng looked at Zhou Wen and Li Xuan and asked.

Li Xuan recounted the entire incident in detail. Wu Yusheng listened with a mixture of disbelief and suspicion. He glanced upward at the Longmen Grottoes, frowned, and said, "I haven't heard of any avian-like creatures appearing outside of the Longmen Grottoes. Stop running around and leave the area immediately. I'll go up and take a look."

Wu Yusheng summoned a sword and actually flew into the sky on the sword, heading towards the top of the mountain.

"Wow, it's a flying sword companion pet. It's so cool. I've wanted one for a long time, but flying sword companion pets are only produced in a few dimensional areas. The number is very rare, and there are no such pets near us." Li Xuan looked at the flying sword under Wu Yusheng's feet and said with some envy.

Speaking of flying swords, Zhou Wen thought of the little girl and the copper flying sword again. He took a look at the dead tree in the game and saw that the copper fruit on the dead tree had grown to the size of a football, but there was still no sign of it ripening and falling to the ground.

Suddenly, a bird's cry shook the whole area, and then a golden light shot up into the sky from the top of the Longmen Grottoes.
