【Chapter 068】Meeting Big Brother
Nangong Chenyu frowned slightly. According to the sword moves he just performed, he should be able to dig a ditch that is at least five meters deep.
He squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of dirt on the ground. After some observation, he found that the soil here was of special nature, hard and compact, completely different from the ordinary soft soil.
I don’t know what’s underground?
Nangong Chenyu slashed at the ground three times in succession. The one-meter-deep gully became four meters deep, and cracks appeared on the ground. Before Nangong Chenyu could make any move, the ground suddenly collapsed.
Others fell straight down.
There was a whistling sound of heat waves passing by his ears. Without even looking, he could guess that there must be magma underneath.
He released his spiritual sense to investigate and found that it was just as he thought. If he doesn’t want to fall into the lava now, he can only hide in his personal space.
Just as he was about to enter the space, he suddenly felt that the heat wave rising from below seemed to have eased a lot.
He looked down suspiciously.
The magma is still the same magma.
No, purple lightning occasionally flashes in the fiery red magma.
It is the Flame of Thunder God.
It seems that the Thunder God Flame is absorbing energy from the magma.
Nangong Chenyu discovered that the high temperature emitted by the magma was within his tolerance range, so he did not hide in the portable space.
When he was about to touch the magma, he used his spiritual energy and performed the Nine Steps of Divine Speed to rush out of the magma. His figure left a trail of afterimages in the lava, and soon he ran to the open space outside the lava.
The danger of his uncontrollable fate was over, and he let out a long sigh.
I was almost tricked by Yan Lei Shen Yan.
If he could fly with a sword, he wouldn't have been so panicked just now. It turns out that without strength, there is no sense of security.
Nangong Chenyu waited beside the magma pool for half an hour before the Yanlei Divine Flame flew out of the magma. There is a tail following behind it.
That's an egg.
A fiery red egg!
When the Yanlei Divine Flame was about to fly in front of Nangong Chenyu, it turned into a purple cloud and landed steadily on Nangong Chenyu's shoulder.
The red egg that followed it flew into Nangong Chenyu's arms.
Nangong Chenyu instinctively dodged to the side.
“Pah~”
The red egg fell to the ground.
It's quite resistant to falling. It didn't break even with such a loud noise!
Not knowing what kind of monster was inside this red egg, Nangong Chenyu had no intention of hatching or raising a cub. He didn't even look at the red egg on the ground, turned around and walked towards the passage he had just explored.
With his fighting power, he can beat several people at once. There is no need to train a battle pet at all, that would only cause trouble for yourself.
The red egg shook on the ground for a few times before it stabilized. Realizing that Nangong Chenyu was moving away, it immediately flew up from the ground and chased after Nangong Chenyu.
Hearing the sound of strong wind behind him, Nangong Chenyu seized the opportunity and flashed into a branch passage nearby.
He is currently about fifty meters underground, surrounded by many passages that lead to the magma pool.
So there are many roads.
Because Hongdan was flying too fast, he missed Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu hurried out.
That was a close call, I almost got cheated!
After walking around in circles for half an hour, Nangong Chenyu finally returned to the ground. But just as he stood firm, he saw an unidentified red object flying towards him.
He raised his sword almost instinctively and slashed at the flying object.
The fierce sword energy had already formed, and the man's urgent voice sounded: "Daoyou, please show mercy."
When Nangong Chenyu looked up, he saw the thing flying towards him. It was the red egg he had thrown away before. The man who was shouting was flying over on a spirit sword, and there were five monks with him.
Just as the sword energy was about to fall on the red egg, a layer of transparent barrier appeared around the red egg.
The sword energy was blocked just like that.
Nangong Chenyu was not surprised at all.
When he saw the red egg before, he knew that this red egg was not simple. It must not be an ordinary monster's egg as it can remain intact in such a hot magma.
Raising cubs costs a lot of spirit stones.
It costs more spirit stones to raise a monster cub with noble blood!
The six monks on the flying swords breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Hongdan was fine, and their gazes towards Hongdan became even more fiery.
After blocking the attack, the red egg flew towards Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu was speechless and choked.
Could it be that this red egg is attached to him because the Flame of Thunder God has absorbed all the energy in the magma?
"Stop, if you come over here again, I will draw my sword again." Nangong Chenyu raised his sword and threatened the flying red egg.
The red egg stopped immediately.
One man and one egg confronted each other like this.
At this time, the six Foundation Establishment cultivators had flown close. Three male cultivators among them jumped off their flying swords and stood in a siege on three directions of the red egg.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Among the three, the male cultivator in blue robes looked Nangong Chenyu up and down, and said with contempt: "Fellow Daoist, do you not want to contract this egg?"
"I thought I was being obvious."
Nangong Chenyu's words were indirectly saying that the other party was blind.
The man in blue was about to retort, but was stopped by a look from another man in white robes.
"Since you don't want to contract this egg, can you help us catch it? We will give you a certain amount of reward afterwards." The male cultivator in white bowed.
Nangong Chenyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "My cultivation is not as high as yours, how can I help you?"
The white-robed male monk said, "Just stand still."
Without even thinking about it, Nangong Chenyu felt that he could just stand there and help, and if the person couldn't be caught in the end, it would have nothing to do with him.
"So what are you going to pay me?"
"A foundation-building pill." The male cultivator in white was confident that Nangong Chenyu would agree.
Nangong Chenyu's eyes lit up: "Is it a top-grade foundation-building pill?"
Without waiting for the white-clothed male cultivator to answer, the blue-clothed male cultivator rolled his eyes and said, "How dare you!"
Nangong Chenyu felt a little regretful: "A top-grade foundation-building pill is barely acceptable! Let me make it clear first, if I stand still and you fail to catch it in the end, it has nothing to do with me. In addition, you have to give me the foundation-building pill first."
The white-clothed male cultivator's face froze slightly. Top-grade foundation-building pills were usually only obtained by the direct disciples of each sect. The foundation-building pill in his hand was only of mid-grade quality.
But Nangong Chenyu didn't know this. He stretched out his hand to the white-clothed male cultivator and said, "Give it to me!"
The white-clothed male cultivator forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I only have a mid-grade foundation-building pill."
The blue-clothed male cultivator glared at Nangong Chenyu, then said to the white-clothed male cultivator: "Senior Brother Yuan, why did you apologize to him? If he doesn't agree..."
Before he could finish his threat, the white-clothed male cultivator scolded him, "Junior Brother Li, be careful with your words."
"I don't want mid-grade foundation-building pills, just give me spirit stones!" Nangong Chenyu was not interested in mid-grade pills.
The white-robed male cultivator did not agree immediately.
He was willing to give Nangong Chenyu the Foundation Establishment Pill because he happened to have one on him and he didn't need it. But if Nangong Chenyu wanted the spirit stone, and it was someone else who formed a bond with the egg, then wouldn’t his efforts be in vain?
Therefore, he immediately communicated with the five people through telepathy.
While they were talking, the red egg just stayed in the air three meters away from Nangong Chenyu, motionless.
The final result of the discussion was that each person would give Nangong Chenyu one thousand low-grade spirit stones. If one of them successfully contracted the egg, that person would give the other five people one thousand low-grade spirit stones each.
Nangong Chenyu had killed several cultivators from Lingyuan Continent before. Knowing that six thousand low-grade spirit stones were almost the entire fortune of the six people, they readily agreed.
The male cultivator in white took out a palm-sized net-shaped magic weapon, injected spiritual energy into it, and threw it towards the red egg.
As soon as the net-like magic weapon left the white-clothed male cultivator's hand, it suddenly grew larger.
Nangong Chenyu put away his sword at the right time.
Hongdan didn't feel the danger at all and remained motionless. Then it was completely covered by the big net.
The three people on the flying swords immediately jumped to the ground.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Nangong Chenyu said, "It has nothing to do with me, so I'll leave."
The white-robed male cultivator thanked him politely: "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Nangong Chenyu waved his hand and walked in the direction indicated by Yan Lei Shen Yan.
The red egg trapped in the net sensed that Nangong Chenyu was moving away from it, and flames ignited around it, instantly burning the net that trapped it.
The six people had no time to react before they saw Hongdan chasing after Nangong Chenyu.
"What a powerful flame!"
"It went after that male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage."
"Could it be that it has already recognized that male cultivator as its master? Otherwise, why would it immediately chase after the male cultivator as soon as he left?"
"I think it's probably true."
"Let's go over and take a look first."
As the six of them spoke, they chased after Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu was speechless when he found Hongdan chasing him. It seemed that he was really being relied upon.
Soon the six of them caught up with Nangong Chenyu. The blue-clothed male cultivator lost his temper and asked, "Have you already let this egg recognize its master?"
"Can't you tell whether I made it recognize its master?" Nangong Chenyu gave the blue-clothed male cultivator a disdainful look and said unceremoniously, "If you don't have the ability, go back and practice more in seclusion, so as not to come out and embarrass yourself."
"You are still looking down on others, and you don't even consider whether you have the ability."
If it weren't for the good attitudes of the other people, Nangong Chenyu would have taken action just now.
The blue-clothed male cultivator had an unpleasant expression on his face, and pointed at Nangong Chenyu: "You..."
"Junior Brother Li." The white-clothed male cultivator looked at him with a warning look.
The blue-clothed male cultivator put down his hand in dismay.
Nangong Chenyu didn't want to waste time talking to them: "Our deal is over. This egg doesn't want to form a bond with you, it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Hongdan quickly followed.
Looking at Nangong Chenyu's receding back and Hongdan chasing after him, the blue-clothed male cultivator said unwillingly, "Just let them go like this?"
Although the other five people were equally unwilling, they were more self-aware than the blue-clothed male cultivator. The egg burned a second-level magic weapon in an instant. Unless it wanted to, no one could force it to recognize its master.
One of them replied: "Who among us can make that egg recognize its owner?"
The blue-clothed male cultivator was still unwilling to give up: "Even if we can't get the egg to recognize its master, that male cultivator took six thousand low-grade spirit stones from us."
"The secret realm is full of Foundation Establishment stage monsters. He acted alone and is still safe and sound." Having said this, the male cultivator in white stopped talking.
Originally, Nangong Chenyu was waiting for those people to make the first move so that he could kill them in return, but in the end... those people just left like that.
Looking at the red egg following him, Nangong Chenyu felt a headache.
"Don't follow me."
Hongdan ignored him and continued to follow.
Nangong Chenyu: "If you follow me again, I will cook and eat you."
The red egg stopped temporarily, and waited for Nangong Chenyu to walk a distance before following him.
With such a big and conspicuous bag carrying him, it was impossible for Nangong Chenyu to keep a low profile. He stopped, turned around and waved to Hongdan.
"come over."
The red egg immediately flew in front of Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu stroked his chin, looked at Hongdan and said, "Since you want to follow me so much, I will contract you."
Hongdan immediately moved away from Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu said speechlessly: "If you don't want to make a contract with me, why are you following me?"
Red Egg: “…”
There was no way to communicate at all, so Nangong Chenyu turned around and continued walking forward.
After walking for an hour, Yan Lei Shen Yan stopped, and Nangong Chenyu skillfully slashed at the ground with a sword.
Just like last time, after Nangong Chenyu slashed down five swords, cracks appeared on the ground and he fell uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Red Egg jumped into the cracked hole.
As soon as he fell, Nangong Chenyu released his spiritual sense to check the situation below, and soon he found someone practicing next to the magma pool.
Looking closely, who else could that person be but Nangong Suhao?
Just at this moment, a monk in white clothes walked quickly to Nangong Suhao. In a protective posture, keep him behind you.
Nangong Chenyu remembered that the person who flew Nangong Suhao with a sword that day was him.
Seeing that the magma pool was less than one meter away from him, Nangong Chenyu used the divine step as before to move away from the magma pool.
After Nangong Chenyu appeared, Jun Han had been looking at him vigilantly. Although his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Jun Han was still on guard.
Nangong Chenyu kept looking behind Jun Han and found that Nangong Suhao had opened his eyes. He called out happily, "Brother."
Jun Han looked at Nangong Chenyu, then at the person behind him, and stepped aside.
When Nangong Suhao heard his second brother's voice, he immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange man.
"Brother." Nangong Chenyu walked quickly towards Nangong Suhao.
Nangong Suhao looked puzzled: "Who are you?"
Nangong Chenyu's steps forward paused slightly.
"Brother, don't you recognize me?"
"Who are you?" Nangong Suhao wondered if he was hallucinating. The person in front of him looked different from his second brother, but he called him "big brother" in his second brother's voice.
At this moment, Nangong Chenyu suspected that his elder brother had been possessed by someone. While observing Nangong Suhao's expression, he said, "I'm Xiao Yu!"
"You want to pretend to be my second brother, but you don't even know what he looks like." Nangong Suhao snorted coldly: "Tell me, who are you?"
After being reminded by his elder brother, Nangong Chenyu suddenly realized. He had taken the rejuvenation pill before, and now he is using someone else's face. He rubbed his face a few times and it returned to its original appearance.
"Brother, look carefully, am I your second brother?"
Nangong Suhao was a little dumbfounded.
This... a sudden transformation?
"I took the Rejuvenating Pill before and changed my appearance." Nangong Chenyu explained.
