Chapter 237 Suspected Kunpeng Cub
When Mortilan turned around, he saw two old men rushing across the ice; they were his grandfather and his old butler, Evan.
He couldn't help but frown: "Grandfather, what brings you here?"
"You brat, if you can come, why can't we?" Caesar Lannister retorted angrily.
“Master, now is not the time to be angry.” The old butler, Evan, quickly tugged at his sleeve.
"You brat, you almost caused a disaster! Hurry up and take this lump of ice away!" Caesar Lannister said, pointing at the fathead fish that he had frozen.
"Could this fish have some kind of origin?" Modi Lan Dun asked suspiciously. He had only seen the fish almost bite Ah Chen, and hadn't seen what it looked like at all.
“Put away the ice first, then look at it carefully,” said Caesar Lannister.
Seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Mortilan knew he wasn't playing a prank, so he put away his ice.
Zuo Shan took the opportunity to take A Chen from her and patted his back gently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy will put a band-aid on your wound and it won't hurt anymore."
Achen is actually a tough kid. He usually doesn't cry when he bumps or bruises himself. After all, he's a natural genetic warrior, with a stronger body than ordinary kids, so he's not easily injured.
The bighead carp we encountered this time had extremely sharp teeth; my finger was cut after just one touch.
However, Zuo Shan is not the kind of mother who spoils her child. In her opinion, such a small cut on the baby's fingertip can be easily fixed with a band-aid.
But Caesar Lannister stopped her: "No rush."
When Zuo Shan first saw him, he felt that he was an extremely dignified old man. After hearing Xiao Bai call him grandfather and Evan call him head of the family, he basically confirmed his identity.
But she didn't understand why he wouldn't let her treat the baby's wound. Was the fish's teeth poisonous?
Thinking of this, she turned deathly pale with fright.
At this moment, the fathead fish was lying on the ice, panting heavily, and the Mortilan Shield finally saw what it looked like.
It is about two meters long, with a smooth, satin-like, sky-blue body, a snow-white belly, and two particularly large fins that look like bird wings.
It's rather strange that a sea fish has no scales.
What shocked him even more was that it was a newly hatched baby!
This can be determined from its fins, which are still covered in mucus.
This baby sea fish was born at the third tier, and the force with which it jumped just now surpassed that of many ferocious third-tier sea beasts.
If the baby hadn't used its mental hook to pierce its brain, it probably wouldn't have been able to be dragged ashore successfully.
Mortilan finally remembered a video he had seen before the Cataclysm.
That video is a secret of the Lan Dun family, and only each head of the family and the heir designated by the head of the family are qualified to see it.
The video was taken by an ancestor of the Lan Dun family who was an astronomy enthusiast.
At that time, the ancestor was observing the stars through a high-powered telescope when he saw a huge, strange beast flying by, its size so large it blotted out the sky.
He was extremely excited and immediately used the most advanced filming equipment, a mobile telescope, to track and film the strange beast's flight path.
During filming, a stellar explosion occurred, and the alien beast, being relatively close to the star, was the first to be affected.
It laid an egg, which, along with the impact of the air blast, broke through the atmosphere of the Green Algae Star and fell into a sea area of the Green Algae Star.
Light travels extremely fast, and the terrifying energy generated by the explosion didn't have time to reach Green Algae Star, so the video of that alien beast was recorded in its entirety.
The fathead fish in front of us is a miniature version of that giant beast.
That giant beast was remarkably similar to a mythical creature recorded in the ancient legends of the Green Algae Star.
Its name is Kunpeng!
Modilan looked up at his grandfather: "Grandfather, do you think it hatched from that egg back then?"
“I can’t think of any other sea creature that looks like this,” said Caesar Lannister.
"So, you mean you want the baby?" Modilan Shield asked, glancing at Achen in Zuo Shan's arms.
“That’s right! This sea beast will definitely reach a very high level and have a long lifespan in the future, and the baby’s aptitude is even better than yours back then. He is the most suitable person to contract it,” said Caesar Lann.
He and the old butler rushed to Azure Bay. Both of them were eighth-level ability users, so they could easily sense the location of the Mortilan Shield.
As they searched for the child, they sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from afar. Following these fluctuations, Caesar Landon confirmed through bloodline intuition that the child was a direct blood relative of the Landon family.
He excitedly sped up, and as soon as he got nearby, he saw the fathead fish that his grandson had frozen.
That video was his favorite when he was a child. Back then, he even fantasized about finding that egg one day, hatching an ancient mythical beast cub himself, raising it, and then traveling through the stars with it.
He had drawn many miniature versions of that beast, which is why he recognized the fathead fish at a glance.
The old butler had grown up alongside him, so he naturally had a deep impression of this miniature mythical beast and recognized it at a glance.
All three of them thought the fathead fish looked like the Kunpeng mythical beast, and what's more, it was only born at the third rank, so they had to forcibly form a contract with it before it grew up.
Seeing that they all looked strange and were looking at Achen, Zuo Shan couldn't help but hug Achen tightly.
Xiaobai noticed her worry and comforted her, "Don't worry, this is harmless and beneficial to the baby."
"Mat, set up a barrier to prevent others from peeping!" he ordered, turning his head.
Upon receiving the order, Matt immediately set up three layers of mental energy barriers within a radius of 100 meters, completely concealing the area.
In this way, even if someone two ranks higher than him passes by, unless they are deliberately looking for him, they will not notice his presence at all.
“Grandpa Evan, please help me protect the Dharma!” He then turned to look at Evan.
"Don't worry, young master, with me here, no one can interfere with the operation of the contract array," Evan said.
“Grandfather, let’s begin the formation!” He looked one last time at the shield of Caesarland standing opposite him.
"Hey! Xiaobai, what are you doing to Achen?" Zuo Shan took two steps back while holding Achen.
"You ungrateful woman! Mina, go and bring the child over!" Caesar Lannister roared.
Mina subconsciously looked at her master. Although the head of the family had spoken, she was her master's confidante and naturally took his wishes into account.
She had long understood how much the adults valued Miss Zuo, and besides, baby Achen was the adults' own flesh and blood, so she wouldn't easily offend Miss Zuo.
