Du Ze looked at the stone egg in Xiu's hand but did not take it.
"This is for you." Du Ze pressed his earphone and said, "There is a divine beast inside."
When the stone egg was put on the auction table, Du Ze's plot capture radar accurately captured the signal - the oval stone egg was clearly the beast egg that the protagonist found in the treasure house after attacking the city of Simonli. At that time, the protagonist found that although the stone egg was oppressive, there was no life in it.
After hearing Du Ze's words, Xiu's voice was so soft that it was almost a whisper: "Divine beast... don't you want it?"
"It belongs to you."
Du Ze immediately said that he would not covet the protagonist's position, but at that moment, he seemed to see disappointment in Xiu's eyes - was it an illusion? Before Du Ze could investigate, Xiu continued the topic: "What kind of beast is this?"
The protagonist in the original version of "Mixed Blood" also asked the same question, and at this time a knowledgeable subordinate beside the protagonist told him that the contents of the stone egg were...
"Fire Phoenix."
Isn't it awesome! When seeing the name of the mythical beast, all readers' hearts were shaken at that moment. No matter which YY novel, dragons and phoenixes are always at the top, one is the king of beasts (PS: the beasts here refer to beasts such as Warcraft, not the beasts.), and the other is the king of birds. At that time, the protagonist already had an unknown mythical beast, the three-headed dog Cerberus from hell, a unicorn that had fallen into a nightmare, plus the fire phoenix in his hand, and there would definitely be a dragon mount in the future. This cute pet group was so luxurious that it blinded everyone's titanium alloy dog eyes - others worked hard to catch a high-level thunder eagle as a pet, but before they had time to show off after releasing it, they were scared to death by the protagonist's cute pet group.
How happy you can be? It's just like a group of hangers-on going to a brothel.
In order to enjoy it as soon as possible, Du Ze began to explain to Xiu: "The Flame Crystal Soul can hatch it."
The Fire Phoenix is also known as the Immortal Bird, and it can be reborn from the ashes. Although the stone egg is now like a dead egg without any life wave, it can be hatched with enough Fire Crystals. Last time, they looted three Fire Crystals from the Fire Lord, one of which was used to treat Alice, and the remaining two were far from enough to hatch the stone egg, because the number of Fire Crystals required to hatch the Fire Phoenix is: 1000.
Du Ze nodded, and the miserable reader seemed to see the author shouting heartbreakingly: 998! Only 998! You can take a divine beast home!
Xiu also remained silent after learning the number from Du Ze, but he quickly called the demon sisters over and asked them to find out if there was any news about the flame crystal soul in Agares City. Verla and Alice acted quickly, and almost the next day they got news: a merchant said he had enough flame crystal souls and hoped to discuss the price with the owner.
When Du Ze opened the door and saw the green figure outside, his silly brain went blank.
"Long time no see." The man in green patted his head with the book and smiled: "It is my honor to trade with you again~"
[System: You have discovered the mysterious merchant "Dan". Please choose whether to attack or not.] The memory of being cheated and completely ruined came back to Du Ze. That time, he really felt unprecedented despair. Although Xiu later expressed his trust in him and did something to get his clothes back when he was unconscious, the culprit appeared in front of him so carelessly at this time... His hands were itchy.
Du Ze wanted to roar, but in the end he still just uttered a cold and noble accusation: "You followed us."
Vera, who brought Dan up, looked at Du Ze and Dan with some uneasiness. She didn't know that the two parties actually knew each other, and it didn't seem that they had a good relationship.
"Your Excellency's words are too kind." Dan coughed lightly, "It took me a lot of effort to sense your presence. As soon as I heard you needed me, I rushed over without stopping." His eyes moved to Xiu. The man in green narrowed his eyes and said in a tone that was between certainty and uncertainty, "I guess this is the dwarf gentleman."
After being called out by Dan, Xiu finally spoke, his tone also somewhere between a rhetorical question and an interrogative one: "You knew?"
It's very simple, because you look at the person next to you with the same eyes - no, it should be a desire that is stronger and more terrifying than before, just like a drowning man clinging to a piece of driftwood that is as valuable as his life.
Dan smiled but didn't answer. He clapped his hands, and boxes fell from the sky one after another and piled up in the room. Even with the isolation of the boxes, the strong fire element still leaked out. Vera looked at all this in shock. She knew that the green-clothed merchant had flame crystals, but such a terrifying amount... could only be accumulated over thousands of years. Dan stood at the door and smiled, "Can I go in and make a deal with you?"
"What do you want?"
Dan did not answer directly. Instead, he tapped the boxes that almost filled the room with his book and introduced his merchandise like a real businessman: "There are ten boxes here, each containing a hundred Flame Crystals - you can count them first..."
"Don't waste your words." Xiu interrupted Dan and said, "Tell me your purpose."
"Then I won't be polite." Dan looked directly at the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was as handsome as the black-haired and purple-eyed demon in his memory, but in a completely different form. "I want some of your blood."
Du Ze, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned. In the original story, the first reward Dan asked for from the protagonist was also for the protagonist's blood. He found that no matter how messed up the plot became, the people in this world would still follow their proper path, such as Heidi falling in love with Xiu and Dan asking Xiu for blood.
For example, the order gave blood to Dan.
"It's a pleasure to do business with you." Dan probably knew that he was not welcome here, so he put away the bottle of blood and planned to leave. Before leaving, Dan snapped his fingers, and a note floated into Xiu's hand. "If you need anything, you can use this to contact me. I will do my best to meet your needs."
“Looking forward to doing business with you next time.”
After Dan left, Du Ze looked at Xiu's still bleeding finger and asked Vera to bring potion and gauze. There is a setting in the world of "Mixed Blood": all healing magic can only be used on others, but not on oneself - just like a doctor cannot heal his own illness.
Vera brought potion and gauze, but instead of applying medicine to Xiu, she handed them to Du Ze. Du Ze watched the blue-dressed girl calmly leave and considerately close the door for them. He felt that he should give up on the ending of the twosome: in the sisters' hearts, they were completely a pair of lesbians and a pair of gays!
Du Ze walked up to Xiu with an expressionless face, squatted down and treated the wound on Xiu's hand.
The wound is so hard to bandage! Du Ze bandaged it five or six times, and even when Xiu's fingertips stopped bleeding, he still hadn't finished bandaging them. Du Ze stared at his horrible masterpiece in silence.
Thumbs up for Xiu’s platelets.
"It's done now." Xiu's voice was tinged with smile: "I'll leave it to you next time."
...Protagonist, are you sure you want to use me to test your healing ability?
Du Ze packed up the potion and gauze in a daze, and then watched Xiu reading the note left by Dan. In the novel "Mixed Blood", it is written that as long as this note is torn, Dan will basically come at your call. After each transaction, Dan will leave the same summoning note, and the protagonist cannot understand the words written on it.
Thinking that Du Ze might be interested in the note, Xiu handed it over. "There are some words written on it that I haven't seen before."
Just like in the novel. Du Ze took it and glanced at it casually, then he was stunned.
He can understand.
Just like the language of this world, he could easily understand those completely unfamiliar characters. Du Ze even had a funny conclusion: because he was a "reader", he could understand all the characters and languages in "Mixed Blood".
The note was written very simply, with only one name: Dantalion.
Du Ze was stunned. The devil Dantalin? What was his relationship with Dan?
Dantalion... Dan?
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!
Wu Lei Hong Ding could not explain the reader's mood at this moment. He actually saw the biggest spoiler of the novel "Mixed-Blood" in this world.
Dantalin without the back, leaving only the head, is DAN. Could it be that the real identity of the mysterious businessman Dan in "Half-Blood" is Dantalin of the 72 Demon Gods? That guy is actually a god! A living god! He has read "Half-Blood" for 500 chapters and didn't realize that the author actually released a god in the Chaos Continent!
Now there is only one sentence to describe Du Ze’s mood: Protagonist, come out and see God!
Du Ze's abnormality was too obvious. It was the first time Xiu saw Du Ze's shaky expression. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Dan he is--" The demon god Dantalen.
Du Ze's voice suddenly stopped. He opened his mouth, but suddenly couldn't pronounce the sounds of "Dantelin". The invisible existence once again stopped him from revealing the spoilers ahead of time. This feeling of being forced to hold back was very uncomfortable. Du Ze took a breath and tried to change to a less spoiler word: "...God."
Thank God it was not stopped this time.
Xiu was stunned after hearing this, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Du Ze was indescribable.
"God..." Xiu's voice was very soft, but it sounded like he had bitten the word hard, chewed it and swallowed it. "How can one become a god?"
Du Ze was stunned. Although Xiu would definitely become the Supreme God in the future, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu did not specify what the conditions for becoming a God were. He just kept making the protagonist stronger and stronger. So Du Ze could only give a general answer: "Become stronger."
At that time, the world will naturally place the path to becoming a god in front of you, because this is the purpose of the existence of this world.
Xiu stared at Du Ze and nodded lightly, but it sounded as if he was making a lifetime promise.
Putting aside the matter of seeing God, if the ten boxes filled with flame crystals left by Dan are not dealt with, the abnormally dense fire element will attract attention from many parties. Xiu stuffed all nine boxes into the space ring, took out the stone egg, and opened the remaining box. The dazzling red light printed the room red, and the flame crystals in the box were neatly arranged. Although Dan's motives were unclear, it must be said that he always brought them what they needed most.
Xiu placed the stone egg on the flame crystal soul, and the flame crystal soul began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even though he couldn't see the fire elements, Du Ze could feel them being absorbed by the stone egg. Soon, a box of flame crystal souls was completely absorbed. Xiu picked up the stone egg that seemed to be a little brighter and took out the second box.
By the time all ten boxes were opened, it was already the next morning. The stone egg could no longer be called a stone egg. From the outside, it looked like a golden egg. Its surface was smooth and warm to the touch. One could feel the heat and faint fetal movement contained within.
Under Xiu and Du Ze's gaze, the egg's shell cracked with a "pop" sound, and a golden-red light leaked out, illuminating a shadow that was breaking the eggshell. Du Ze was instantly excited: Aaaa! Finally, I can see the mighty and majestic beast in the legend!
The shadow inside bumped a few times first, and when the cracks in the outer shell got bigger, it shrank, as if gathering strength, and then suddenly threw itself at the eggshell. The eggshell finally couldn't bear the weight and cracked open with a "snap". In the eyes of a certain silly and happy person, a figure rolled out of the golden egg.
It was a tiny, tiny...chicken.
Xiu & Du Ze: ...
The palm-sized little phoenix had a coat of cream-yellow fur—it couldn't be called feathers, it could only be called down. There was some mucus on its round body. The mucus burned when it came into contact with the air and soon evaporated, leaving the little phoenix in a fluffy ball of yellow fur. It seemed to be a little dizzy from the excessive force it had just exerted, and it lay motionless on the ground, with a piece of eggshell covering its little head.
——Author, I beg you to give me back my mighty and domineering divine beast setting!
Du Ze's heart was broken when he saw such a cute "Phoenix". Although Yi Ye Zhi Qiu described that the phoenix hatched from the stone egg was a larva, so the protagonist asked Alice, who also has the fire attribute, to raise it, but the readers who were briefly mentioned by the author never thought that the phoenix was so young - it was a fucking chick!
Xiu walked over and picked up the eggshell on the hairball's head, and the hairball revealed a pair of black eyes. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Xiu was standing behind it, so the chick saw Du Ze first. The hairball froze, and then began to tremble, and the light yellow hair shook into a ball. Even so, it still raised its head high and stared at Du Ze, making a childish cry: "Jiubi."
It's shameful to sell cuteness! And kid, you recognized the wrong owner!
Seeing Du Ze's cold face and no reaction, the fur ball flapped its tiny wings and stood up. It stretched out its small paws that were completely disproportionate to its chubby body, and it rolled over rather than walked.
Du Ze watched the fur ball approaching, shaking its fur: "Jiubi, jubi, jubi."
Little chicken, you are shaking! I know you are scared, so don't come near me!
Seeing Du Ze was about to leave, Maotuan suddenly jumped up and hugged Du Ze's right foot: "Jiubi!"
The chick complex VS the reader's fear, the chick complex wins, long live "Mom"~ Du Ze looked at Xiu with a blank expression: "Take it away."
This is your cute pet, but its eyesight is a little bad.
"It looks like it likes you very much." Xiu looked at the little phoenix trembling on Du Ze's feet and smiled, "You keep it first."
Without waiting for Du Ze to say anything, Xiu looked at the sky outside the window which was about to turn white, and continued, "It's late, let's go to bed first."
In the candlelight, Xiu's smile was blurry.
"After we get up, we'll get ready and head back to the mainland tomorrow."

Rachel looked at the bones in his hand. The fracture was charred black. Only explosions or lightning could cause such fractures. He glanced at the sea of dead souls under his feet. There were still bones here. All traces were covered up, and there was only a strong breath of dead souls.
"What major cities are nearby?"
Hearing Rachel's question, the black-clad demon opened the map in his hand.
"Your Excellency, there are Osse, Valak, Andreanfo, Beliar, and Andumari nearby."
"Look for them one by one."
Rachel looked up at the purple sky and her voice was close to a sigh.
"Lord Baal, is that you?"
