Wen Zuo quickly took the baby and held it in his arms. He handed Lie Xing to Liu Dongcheng and prepared to go to the river to bathe. However, before he had taken more than a few steps, the passengers who had already bathed surrounded him.
Cai Zhongqi tilted his head and looked at Mo Shuwan with an embarrassed expression, "Captain, can we use it?"
"Use it." He paused, then added, "But use it sparingly."
"Okay, thank you, Captain!" It wasn't until Yang Zhou and the others shouted this in unison that they realized why the two girls had been so excited. Not to mention the girls, even they, the grown men, were excited!
Without shower gel, you simply can't scrub off all those blood clots and stuff on your body!
So what was originally Wen Zuo taking a shower turned into everyone else taking a shower together, except for Liu Dongcheng and the three girls. Because there was shampoo and shower gel, everyone finally had a comfortable shower, including Liu Dongcheng who took another shower at the end.
Feeling refreshed and full of energy after their showers, the passengers then began to clean up the mess.
Mo Shuwan had already dealt with the teeth, but the dinosaur was too big for her to move. She could only wait for everyone to come together. In the end, even with everyone working together, they couldn't move the smallest dinosaur.
In the end, they could only choose to go upstream a little further. After all, they had been in and out of blood for so many days, and they were used to being splattered with blood from time to time. As for the problem of the dinosaur rotting and emitting a stench if left for too long, no one cared.
It smells bad, I can tolerate it.
So, adhering to the principle of enduring as much as possible, the group, who had been on the run for five days from hiding from Fang Min and his men, finally settled down by the river.
But there is still the threat of mutated dinosaurs that have not yet appeared, so even if things settle down, people still live in constant fear.
From the time they took a shower in the afternoon until evening, no plants or dinosaurs appeared. Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo also wanted to rest, so they didn't go out to cause trouble for the dinosaurs. Apart from the few days when they were cooperating with Fang Min and the others, this afternoon was the most peaceful afternoon they had in a while.
Although Wen Zuo didn't trigger the side quest to bring back the dinosaur egg, he still had the quest to hatch the mutated dinosaur egg. Mo Shuwan gave him an egg that couldn't be put into the storage space.
After examining the egg carefully over and over again, Mo Shuwan looked helpless. "I have no experience. Does anyone know how to hatch an egg?"
Cai Zhongqi hesitated before speaking, "Learn from a hen? Put the eggs under your butt?"
"No... don't crush the egg with your weight."
“You’re overthinking it. We’re holding a dinosaur egg, look.” After saying that, Cai Zhongqi stood up without another word and slammed the egg to the ground. The egg rolled a few times on the ground, but it was perfectly fine. “See? Dinosaur eggs are more sturdy than we thought. There’s nothing to worry about.”
When one of the passengers saw Cai Zhongqi's actions, for some reason, he stood up and ran to the fire. Before anyone could stop him, he threw the egg into the fire, saying, "If it can't be broken by dropping it, then it can definitely be heated by fire. Besides, I don't think the human body temperature is hot enough to hatch a baby dinosaur."
Everyone stood up and ran to the fire. Looking at the dinosaur egg engulfed in flames, their eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "Tell me honestly, do you want to eat the egg?"
"...No, I really think there's no problem with roasting it over a fire."
Half an hour later, the daring passenger used a tree branch to pull the dinosaur egg out of the fire. Because it was too hot, he kicked the egg all the way, and finally kicked it directly into the river. He waited for about fifteen minutes before reaching out to pick it up.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it. The passenger, holding the still-warm egg, smiled somewhat embarrassedly and walked up to Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo. "Captain, I want to prove to you that my reasoning was correct."
He placed the egg on the ground, picked up a nearby stone, and tapped it. The eggshell remained undamaged, as hard as it had been before.
"Holy crap, they're still okay? These dinosaur eggs are amazing."
The passenger was even happier, exclaiming, "I was right! My reasoning was correct!"
Seeing his excited expression, Mo Shuwan smiled and mercilessly retorted, "Although the egg wasn't rotten, your little dinosaur didn't hatch either. It just proves that the dinosaur egg is tough enough to withstand your messing around."
"Pfft... Yeah, you didn't hatch a baby dinosaur either."
The passenger had no choice but to leave dejectedly with the dinosaur egg, but he was still not giving up. He ran back to the fire and, without hesitation, threw the egg, which had just been ravaged, into it.
The others weren't as bold as him. They held the eggs carefully, some holding them in front of their stomachs, some under their buttocks, and some putting them back into the water.
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo were the ones who put the eggs in the water. When they saw the eggs, they were already in the water, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Night was falling.
Mo Shuwan went to the river and retrieved the eggs she had put in. She buried the eggs in the ashes left over from burning firewood, hoping the higher temperature would make them feel comfortable. Maybe...?
Wen Zuo led five passengers on night watch, while the others rested and took over the shift in the middle of the night.
That night was unusually peaceful, with occasional dinosaur roars, but they were all far away. Any dinosaurs that came this way were dealt with by Wen Zuo, who had already spotted them.
The next morning, the group, who were out looking for side quests, discovered the carcass of a huge dinosaur about a kilometer from the river. The carcass had many wounds, indicating that it had fought back fiercely before it died, but failed. Judging from the degree of decomposition, it had not been dead for long.
Mo Shuwan circled the corpse and saw two black scales at the tip of the long tail. She squatted down and examined it carefully for a moment, then touched it with the hilt of her sword. Unexpectedly, her phone immediately chimed.
A side quest has been triggered.
Side Quest: Scales of a Mutant Crimson Flame Beast
Mo Shuwan paused for a moment, then took out a dagger and cut off two scales. Under the sunlight, the scales seemed to glow.
"It must be the father or mother of those eggs."
Since it was a dead dinosaur, Mo Shuwan and the others didn't linger. After leaving, they continued walking further away, and by the way, they told the passengers the name of the mutated dinosaur. Half of the people thought that since it was called the Crimson Flame Beast, its eggs must require high temperatures to hatch.
"If high temperatures are required for incubation, then why were these eggs all in the water when we found them?"
"Perhaps those eggs were put into the water by the dinosaurs we saw later."
"Why don't you say that the mutated Crimson Flame Beast put the eggs in the water? I think we should continue to put the eggs in the water, maybe they will hatch in a few days."
"Both characters in its name are related to fire, so it should be incubated at high temperatures."
"Use water..."
"Use high heat..."
"..."
