#377 - Harvest a beast egg
Jun Wuxie stared intently at the head of the fire dragon looming down, his breathing becoming heavy and measured.
As his solid chest rose and fell with each breath, he distinctly felt the pressure of two soft and full mounds against his chest.
He naturally knew what they were, but at this moment, he had no frivolous thoughts, nor the mood to enjoy such an alluring sensation.
He held onto Lilia with both hands, subtly shifting one of them behind his back.
Between his index and middle finger, he held a yellowed, ancient talisman.
Life or death, success or failure, hinged on this!
He was well aware that in their current predicament, their only chance of survival was to repel or kill the fire dragon.
The fire dragon was evolving into a dragon, transforming into a divine beast bloodline!
Even if it was newly transformed, still in its initial stage, with a low level of divine beast bloodline awakening, it was still more terrifying than a sacred beast.
Most importantly, this thing was at the eleventh level, equivalent to a human Saint Ancestor realm!
He didn't know the power the ancient talisman would unleash after activation, but currently, he could only place his hopes on it.
"Damn humans, you stole the Fire Lotus I guarded for millennia, causing most of my divine dragon blood to lie dormant after my transformation! For this, the price you pay will be death!"
The fire dragon's eyes were violent and chilling.
As its words fell, the light in its throat blazed intensely, and a torrent of flames was about to erupt.
Jun Wuxie's pupils contracted, and the blood energy in his palm hidden behind his back surged, pouring into the ancient talisman between his fingers.
The mysterious runes on the ancient talisman immediately lit up with a faint glow.
Just then.
The fire dragon's abdomen suddenly bulged.
The dragon flame it was about to spew out abruptly extinguished, and it let out a painful roar, its massive head violently recoiling and shaking wildly.
What was happening?
Jun Wuxie's pupils flashed with golden runes as he stared at its abdomen.
There, a fist-sized bulge appeared, as if something inside was frantically pushing against it.
The bulge momentarily deflated, then reappeared beside it.
Roar!
The fire dragon writhed in agony, shaking its body and wildly swinging its head.
Its abdomen glowed with golden-red bloodline runes, seemingly suppressing the thing causing trouble within.
"A good opportunity!"
Seeing its state, Jun Wuxie's ancient talisman in his hand erupted with light, and his hand, hidden behind his back, suddenly shot out, blasting towards the fire dragon from afar.
The moment his palm struck out, the light of the runes within his palm surged forth, transforming into a circular array diagram the size of a palm.
The array diagram spun, emitting an eerie aura, and with a bang, it imprinted on the fire dragon's brow.
Roar!
The fire dragon let out a miserable scream, a bloody crack appearing on its brow, writhing in agony.
"God-Controlling Talisman!"
It cried out in terror, turning to flee, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
However, something inside its body was causing trouble, causing it immense pain, and the attack from the divine talisman had dazed it, greatly slowing its speed.
God-Controlling Talisman?
Jun Wuxie didn't have time to think about what a God-Controlling Talisman was.
The fire dragon's fear was enough to show the talisman's terror, definitely something that could pose a life-threatening danger to it!
"Want to run? Not so easy!"
Jun Wuxie was incredibly decisive, releasing Lilia, pushing the Primordial Art of Dismemberment to its limit, his golden blood energy surging, and with a leap, he shot off the platform, soaring high, landing directly in front of the fire dragon, who was turning its head.
"Damn human, you shall die!"
Seeing the human appear before it, madness flashed in the fire dragon's eyes, and it opened its mouth to spew dragon flame.
Jun Wuxie had long anticipated its counterattack, and the God-Controlling Talisman in his hand was already prepared the moment he leaped up, blasting out another talisman from afar.
With a bang.
The rune array diagram shot out from the divine talisman struck the fire dragon again.
The dragon flame that it had already begun to spew out instantly extinguished.
Roar!
It howled in agony, the crack on its brow widening, and strands of golden light bloomed from the crack, weaving into a mysterious mark on its brow.
"No!"
It let out a heart-wrenching roar and howl, full of unwillingness, its massive body rolling violently.
At the same time, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Jun Wuxie's mind.
It was a soul imprint!
The imprint floated in his sea of consciousness, circular, the size of a palm, with a pattern of a coiled fire dragon in the center.
"No! Don't! I'm not reconciled, I'm not willing!"
The fire dragon roared hysterically.
Its massive body rapidly shrank in its roars.
At this time, Jun Wuxie's body was also rapidly falling.
He borrowed strength in mid-air, his palms surging with blood energy, soaring into the sky, and with a leap, he landed on the third stone platform.
"Young Master Jun!"
Lilia was stunned by the sudden change before her, still in shock, and couldn't help but hold onto his arm, her delicate body trembling slightly.
"It should… be alright now."
He responded, secretly studying the imprint in his sea of consciousness.
Watching the fire dragon shrinking amidst its painful struggle, could the fire dragon's current change be related to the imprint in his mind?
He tried to impact the imprint with the power of his soul.
The moment the imprint was impacted, the fire dragon let out a miserable cry, a mouthful of blood shooting out from its throat.
Its aura instantly weakened significantly.
Its kilometer-long body had now shrunk to only ten meters long, coiling on the second stone platform, shivering, and still constantly shrinking.
At this moment, a chaotic light shot out from its throat.
It was an egg-shaped thing.
After it shot out, it landed in front of Jun Wuxie, bouncing and hopping, swaying like a tumbler, and occasionally rubbing his trouser leg with its egg head, looking extremely affectionate.
"Bastard?"
Jun Wuxie was both surprised and delighted, squatting down and holding it in his hands.
"Were you the one impacting it from inside its body just now?"
He had thought that Bastard had already melted in the fire dragon's abdomen.
Its eggshell was severely broken, covered in cracks, but the vitality overflowing from within was extremely rich.
"Wuwu～"
Low whimpering sounds came from inside the eggshell, as if responding to him.
Roar!
At this moment, a weak howl came from the second stone platform.
Jun Wuxie looked up and couldn't help but be astonished.
The fire dragon's body had actually turned into a watermelon-sized egg, pulsing with golden-red firelight, in a burst of light!
At the same time, the mysterious imprint in his mind conveyed a piece of information.
Information about a soul contract!
"God-Controlling Contract, forcibly planting a slave contract in the soul of a divine bloodline creature, controlling its life and death and thoughts, giving it one's will!"
Jun Wuxie was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
Wasn't this too perverted?
How could there be such a cruel talisman in the world?
Looking at the fire dragon egg on the second stone platform, and then at the ancient talisman in his hand, a chill ran down his spine.
If this kind of thing was used on people, how terrifying would it be?
If the enemy had this kind of ancient talisman in the future, and used it to deal with him, it was simply unimaginable.
To be enslaved by the enemy, losing one's self-awareness and thoughts, it was simply worse than death!
No wonder the fire dragon was so terrified before, turning around and running.
It seemed that it had known about the existence of this ancient talisman for a long time.
However, it had never found an opportunity to use it.
After all, it was extremely powerful itself, unless it encountered an enemy it couldn't deal with, otherwise there was no need to use the God-Controlling Talisman at all.
There were now two cracks on the God-Controlling Talisman in his hand.
He had used it exactly twice.
"It's a pity, this kind of heaven-defying ancient talisman has a limit to the number of times it can be used, I guess after using it a few more times, the ancient talisman will be completely shattered. If it could be used infinitely, how great would that be."
He couldn't help but fantasize in his heart.
"Forget it, one should be content, one can't be too greedy, such an outcome is simply an unexpected harvest. A divine beast fire dragon, hahaha!"
He was ecstatic in his heart, carefully putting away the God-Controlling Talisman with two cracks.
Then, he leaped to the second stone platform and put the fire dragon egg into the Eternal Divine Hall.
Returning to the third stone platform, Lilia was staring at him with adoring eyes, with a hint of infatuation in her light green eyes.
She was already unable to describe the shock in her heart.
A human youth whose realm was much lower than hers not only had strength stronger than her, but also turned the eleventh-level divine beast fire dragon into a dragon egg!
Such a thing, if it were in the past, she wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
"Eh? Saintess Lilia, what secret art is this?"
Jun Wuxie said, looking at her infatuated eyes.
"Ah?" Lilia was somewhat at a loss, and said: "What is it?"
"How did you imprison me in your eyes?"
Lilia was stunned, seeing a hint of playfulness on the corner of Jun Wuxie's mouth, she immediately reacted, her face turned red, stomped her foot delicately, turned her body away, and said: "Young Master Jun, you're teasing me…"
Jun Wuxie smiled.
He was just in a good mood and couldn't help but tease this saintess full of exotic charm.
He didn't expect that she would be so shy, her face turning red again.
Crack!
Suddenly, a slight cracking sound came from under his feet.
Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, looking down.
He saw that on the surface of Bastard's eggshell, the cracks were expanding, and one of them was about to fall off.
"Is it finally about to hatch?"
Jun Wuxie's mood suddenly became tense, holding his breath.
He had been looking forward to what Bastard would look like when it hatched.
The answer was about to be revealed!
