"Don't panic, stay calm, it hasn't fully awakened yet." The witch whispered a reminder. Although her voice was not loud, it rang in Lin Yu's ears like a loud bell, making him calm down a little.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and tried to stop his hands from shaking. He told himself he couldn't let his efforts slip away. He continued reaching toward the Gu egg, each inch of movement exhausting all his strength. Finally, his fingers touched the Gu egg. The surface was smooth and warm, and it pulsed slightly against his fingertips, as if it were alive.
