Lu Yuan blinked.
A perfectly round egg was seen resting on the tree canopy, which was formed from spiritual energy. Moreover, the egg was faintly emitting a golden light, making it clear that it was no ordinary egg!
Lu Yuan freed one hand to take the golden egg, and then used the system to check it.
[The Fire-Melting Bird's Egg: A descendant of the Fire-Melting Bird, a celestial-level demonic beast. Its survival rate is extremely low, but after being imbued with pure spiritual energy for a hundred years, it can now be hatched using high-grade celestial fire. Only one exists in the world.]
"!!!"
After reading the attributes, Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
It really was left behind by a god-level monster!
I never expected it to be a Firebird egg, and a rare, one-of-a-kind one at that!
This explains the various strange phenomena inside the lava cave.
The monsters, influenced by the pure spiritual energy that condensed into the spirit tree, underwent a mutation in their talents. At the same time, they were focused on protecting the Fire Melt Bird's egg, so their desire to attack was particularly strong, which weakened or even rendered the effect of all beasts submitting to them ineffective.
The egg that all the monsters in the cave would fight to the death to protect will surely yield a super high-level cub if it hatches successfully!
As for the advanced celestial fire required for incubation...
"I wonder if Crimson Scale's Heavenly Decree Fire counts as a high-level Heavenly Fire. It's an epic-level talent, so it should be, right?" Lu Yuan muttered to himself.
The sleeping Crimson Scale could never have imagined it.
It was a male red-scaled python that one day had to shoulder the important task of incubating the eggs.
Whether it can hatch or not can be put aside for now.
With the egg of a god-level monster right in front of you, wouldn't it be foolish not to take it?
not to mention.
He spent a lot of money to defeat Charizard, so he should get some reward. Even if he can't hatch it, he can resell it to someone else to recoup his losses.
After storing the egg in his Beast Taming Space, Lu Yuan planned to study the spirit tree further to see if he could also transplant it into the Beast Taming Space.
Just then.
A sudden, violent tremor occurred inside the lava cave.
"What happened?"
Lu Yuan was startled and almost lost his balance and fell into the molten lava.
As the violent tremors continued, the surrounding rocks began to crumble, sending up plumes of molten lava.
"hiss!"
The scorching lava flowed across his face, making Lu Yuan gasp involuntarily, but he did not want to give up on the Spirit Tree.
"babble!"
Just then.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi shouted and rushed forward, tackling Lu Yuan to the side.
Immediately afterwards.
A huge rock landed where Lu Yuan had just been standing, causing the ground to tilt.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan dared not delay any longer.
"Little Yi, we need to get out of here quickly, this cave is going to collapse!"
Although he desperately wanted the spirit tree, his own life was more important!
Xiao Yi immediately picked up Lu Yuan and, without saying a word, ran back the way she came.
Lu Yuan: "???"
I said get out of here quickly, I didn't say you had to carry me away!
Lu Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, it is true that Xiao Yi is faster with him than when he runs on his own, since Xiao Yi has already reached the ninth level of Xuanzhen, while he is only at the second level of Xuanzhen.
Moreover, Xiao Yi is a beast tamer, and there is no comparison between them in terms of physical attributes or data.
All right.
Since there was no one else around, he could put aside his pride for the time being.
After convincing himself, Lu Yuan rested comfortably on Xiao Yi's shoulder, even reminding her to keep her balance.
The upgraded Xiao Yi is extremely fast.
Although it took them quite a while to arrive, they left in just a few minutes.
However, they were directly teleported in by the magic array at the entrance of the secret realm, and they did not know where the exit was.
"Little Yi, follow them!"
Lu Yuan patted Xiao Yi and pointed to the other monsters who were also fleeing for their lives.
Rather than searching for an exit they don't know where it is, they might as well take a gamble; maybe these monsters are also trying to escape!
Xiao Yi instantly understood Lu Yuan's meaning and quickly chased after him.
After the golden egg disappeared, the monsters' hostility towards Lu Yuan lessened considerably. Moreover, the lava cave was about to collapse, and they were in a hurry to escape, so they had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
Xiao Yi carried Lu Yuan over numerous monsters, charging forward all the way.
The tremors became increasingly violent.
The surrounding walls continued to collapse, and the lava cave, having lost its support, began to crumble rapidly, completely blocking the path behind them with rocks.
The collapse was accelerating, and it was already right up to our feet.
Suddenly, a light appeared not far ahead.
"That's the cave entrance! Little Yi, hurry and rush over!" Lu Yuan shouted immediately.
Xiao Yi immediately pushed off with her feet, and her whole body shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for the cave entrance.
"Boom!"
The moment they rushed out of the cave, a loud bang came from behind them. The lava cave collapsed completely, burying many monsters that hadn't managed to escape.
"call!"
"I never expected that collecting the Firebird's egg would cause the lava cave to collapse. It was terrifying."
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been reborn after a disaster.
He climbed down from Xiao Yi's shoulder, turned his head to look around, and was stunned.
The soft sunlight shone down, and a gentle breeze carried the refreshing fragrance of flowers, instantly invigorating the spirit and making one feel much more awake.
"Is this the same secret realm?" Lu Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.
I never expected that the exterior of the devastated lava cave would be such a beautiful sight.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but turn around and look at the cave entrance, which had completely collapsed and was filled with rock debris.
One side is littered with wreckage, the other side is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The two present a stark contrast.
"This secret realm is quite interesting. It's only a step away, yet there's such a big difference in the environment."
Lu Yuan stroked his chin, his tone somewhat excited.
He thought the lava cave was the entire secret realm, but he didn't expect it to be just a small part. Doesn't this mean that there are still many treasures waiting for him to discover?
Just as he was eager to try again and was ready to start anew, a noise suddenly came from behind him.
"Damn it! How did this lava cave suddenly collapse?"
"Exactly! Not only did we fail to get the fire lizard's elixir, we almost got buried in it!"
Hearing the complaints from the others, Lu Yuan, hiding in the bushes, touched his nose guiltily.
Before the other party notices him, he'd better hurry up and slip away!
As soon as she turned around, she met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't.
"!!!"
Lu Yuan was startled and almost reflexively attacked, but fortunately he immediately recognized the other party.
"Oh my goodness, can you please stop scaring me like that? I'm easily frightened, what if you get hurt?"
Chi Luan smiled and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear:
"What mischief are you up to, sneaking around here again?"
