The egg didn't move at all.
The two waited patiently for another half an hour.
In the end, there was still no response, and Ning Jing was the first to lose her patience.
"I think we should just take it away." Ning Jing said with a bit of anger.
"I think we should wait a little longer?" Su Yao was still a little hesitant.
"No need to wait, I'll get started right away. Yaoyao, you don't mind, do you?" He turned around and asked Su Yao with a smile.
"You are making fun of me again. The egg is so hot, how can I hold it? You want to burn me, right?" Su Yao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But she knew that Ning Jing said this because she wanted her to relax.
Ning Jing walked slowly towards the egg, not daring to move too much, for fear of disturbing the egg. Su Yao's palms were sweating as she watched from the side.
But even when Ning Jing walked up to it, the egg still didn't react.
She slowly reached out to touch it. Although Ning Jing had always felt that this temperature was very comfortable, she still felt that this egg, which was glowing red, would be very hot.
When her hand touched the eggshell, the temperature from her fingertips was indeed warm. Now Ning Jing became bolder and put both hands on it.
This made Su Yao, who was standing next to her, tremble with fear. Her whole body was tense, ready to pull Ning Jing away at any time.
After confirming that the egg was not hot at all, Ning Jing held the whole egg in her arms and looked at Su Yao happily.
"Yaoyao, look, what a big egg."
I knew the egg was huge when I first saw it, but I didn't expect it to look even bigger when Ning Jing held it in her arms. It's the size of three ostrich eggs!
"Jingjing, why don't you try to put it in the spirit beast bag? Otherwise, holding it all the time is not a solution!"
"Okay~ I'll try! Hey, it really works!"
After putting the spirit beast egg in, the surrounding temperature began to drop obviously. Su Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was finally not so hot anymore!
"Let's go and take a look at another cave!" Su Yao suggested.
Soon, the two walked back to the fork in the road. This time, with the cave entrance on the far left as a reference, they were not so nervous.
But we still have to be careful. After all, caution is the key to success.
As expected, they didn't encounter any danger along the way. Ning Jing was shivering from the cold, while Su Yao looked calm. Now their situations were reversed.
"Yaoyao, I shouldn't have laughed at you just now. Now it's my turn!" As he said this, he suddenly thought of something and decisively took out the egg from the spirit beast bag.
"It's much warmer now!" Ning Jing showed a comfortable expression on her face.
"It's good that you know. Let's see if you dare to laugh at me in the future!" After saying that, he quietly moved away from her. The heat of that egg was really unbearable for Su Yao.
The two continued forward, stepping deeper into the cave. The temperature inside dropped sharply. Su Yao remained calm, not feeling the slightest bit frozen.
If Ning Jing hadn't been holding an egg in her arms, she would have been frozen into a popsicle.
As expected, there was also an egg in the hole. This egg was still emitting cold air and looked like it had been taken out of the freezer.
This time, Su Yao didn't have to think too much or hesitate. After all, she already had Ning Jing's living teaching material in front of her. She decisively started directly. Sure enough, there was no reaction, so she picked up the whole egg.
The size looked no different from the one in Ning Jing's arms, and it was really inconvenient to carry the egg, so Su Yao put the egg into the spirit beast egg.
Seeing this, Ning Jing also put it in.
"Let's go outside and take a look. These two eggs are placed here. I guess they are related to this secret realm.
Now that we have taken them away, maybe the passage out of the secret realm has opened outside. "After saying that, Su Yao took the lead and walked out of the cave.
Tranquility follows closely behind.
With the experience gained on the way here, the way back was much faster.
It only took a quarter of an hour to reach the outside of the cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down the mountain, it seemed that nothing had changed!
The two did not give up, so they walked down the mountain and returned to the place where they first woke up, but there was still no change.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the grass.
"Yaoyao, what do you think is going on? Did we guess wrong? These two eggs have no connection with this secret realm?"
Su Yao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "I think we are right. The place with the richest spiritual energy in this secret realm is where the two eggs are placed.
This secret realm must have been created specifically for these two eggs. I wonder what kind of spirit beast's eggs they are, but they were so generous that they prepared such a secret realm with such rich spiritual energy for them."
"Then we won't be able to get out, right?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I think the reason we fell in here is probably because the spirit beasts in the forest accidentally destroyed the barrier of the secret realm.
I think the spiritual energy in the Beast Forest must have leaked out from here. Don't worry, if it can leak out, it means there is a crack in this secret realm.
At worst, after the competition is over in three days, if Uncle Gu and the others don’t see us leave, they will definitely come in to look for us.”
After hearing Su Yao's words, Ning Jing felt more at ease.
"Ah! Yaoyao, have we forgotten one more thing?" Joy appeared on Ning Jing's face.
"Are you talking about the jade slip sent down by the sect? If so, I have tried it a long time ago, but it would be useless even if I crushed it into ashes!" Su Yao glanced at her indifferently.
"Huh? No way? It didn't work when you tried it before, but now we've taken those two eggs away. Maybe it can be used now?"
After saying that, he took out the jade slip issued by the sect from the storage bag.
Holding it in his hand, he used a little spiritual power to crush the jade slip. The imagined teleportation out of the secret realm did not occur.
Ningjing collapsed on the grass with a dejected look on her face.
"This secret realm must have some kind of restriction that limits the use of the teleportation array!"
"Oh! In that case, we can only wait for the sect to send someone to look for us in three days!" Ning Jing sighed sadly.
"Compared to whether I can go out, I'm more worried about another thing!" Su Yao looked straight at Ning Jing.
Ning Jing sat up in shock, "What else could be more important than getting out!"
"Haven't you noticed that since we entered this secret realm, the spiritual energy here has been automatically flowing into our bodies,
We are already in the late stage of foundation building, and we are just one step away from the final step.
Now that so much spiritual energy is pouring in, I think we might be able to break through to the Golden Core stage right here!" Su Yao sighed softly.
Ningjing quickly felt the spiritual power of her body.
"Really? I'm almost going to break through. But isn't this a good thing? What are you worried about?" Ning Jing was still puzzled.
"Have you forgotten? The Golden Core we refined earlier is still in Uncle Gu's hands. I thought it wouldn't be too late to ask him for it after the competition! I didn't expect that we might be able to break through early!"
