Are you kidding me? How could there be such a terrifying thing in this world?
Even Gu Ning couldn’t make a scratch on it, that shot only left a faint trace on the stone.
A slight rub with your hand would erase the trace.
Jiang Xiaobai was utterly perplexed for a moment. Could it really be a useless object that only served as a decoration after being brought back?
Surely not?
Though it didn’t cost a penny, it was still very unsatisfying.
Jiang Xiaobai walked around the stone, his hand on his chin in thought, the other folded over his chest.
Hardness, hardness…
“Hmm? No need for it to be hard. What if I tried other methods, like, say, smelting?”
When this idea suddenly came to mind, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes sparkled with brilliance.
Others didn’t know how terrifying his Heavenly Worker’s Flame was, but Jiang Xiaobai did!
This was the primal fire, the progenitor of all flames.
If even the Heavenly Worker’s Flame couldn’t affect this stone at all, Jiang Xiaobai would be out of options!
Turning thoughts into action, Jiang Xiaobai approached the stone, placing his hands firmly on it.
Then he activated the Heavenly Worker’s Flame.
Within a moment, a black flame was released from Jiang Xiaobai’s hands, and the stone began to melt as soon as it appeared.
Seeing this, a triumphant smile appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
“Hmm, can’t I handle you?”
While Jiang Xiaobai was secretly sneering, he was extremely careful in manipulating the Heavenly Worker’s Flame.
As long as the flame didn’t leave his palm, his consumption would not be huge.
Of course, this behavior was completely different from using the Heavenly Worker’s Flame for offense, and the way of operation was also different.
Otherwise, how could Jiang Xiaobai use the Heavenly Worker’s Flame to refine pills?
He couldn’t even maintain it for a minute!
Soon, under Jiang Xiaobai’s cautious control of the Heavenly Worker’s Flame, the stone slowly melted, and then the melted part turned into ashes.
Gradually, the interior of the stone appeared, revealing a white, wall-like structure, with a grid-like pattern on it.
Once this thing showed a corner, the ancient beast’s aura within it became incredibly intense, almost knocking Jiang Xiaobai over.
It was too terrifying!
“Damn it, I must see what you are today, or else I really would have wasted the goodwill shown by the ancient race!”
Jiang Xiaobai clenched his teeth and continued to smelt. Soon, all the outer stone had disappeared. What appeared before Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning was an egg.
An egg the size of a human head.
At this sight, both of them were utterly baffled.
What was going on? Was there an egg sealed inside this stone?
“What… what sort of creature’s egg is this?” Gu Ning asked, flabbergasted.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
Because the brutal aura emitted by the egg was too terrifying, Jiang Xiaobai could hardly bear it, let alone Gu Ning.
Faced with this situation, they dared not make any rash moves, fearing what might emerge from the egg.
As the two looked at each other in silence, suddenly, the egg moved.
After a slight shake, it began to roll towards Jiang Xiaobai and stopped by his foot, nearly scaring Jiang Xiaobai out of his skin.
Indeed, the fear comes from the unknown.
“What is this thing, it can move?”
“That stone was there for at least a few thousand years, maybe even ten thousand years. How on earth is it still able to move?”
Yet even more shocking was the fact that the egg actually nudged Jiang Xiaobai’s foot.
Then the egg started moving in circles. The two were initially unsure of what the egg was trying to do.
Seemingly sensing that its intentions were not understood, the egg began to roll again, circling around a piece of stone slag where Jiang Xiaobai had smelted the stone earlier.
“What does it mean?” Gu Ning found it amusing.
For some reason, she actually found the egg’s actions a bit cute?
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to understand something.
“You want the flame?” He asked tentatively.
Then the egg started to spin even more happily.
Jiang Xiaobai was a bit dumbfounded. You’re only an egg and you’re already this powerful! If something came out of the egg, wouldn’t it be even more unmanageable?
However, he still activated the Heavenly Worker’s Flame. The moment the flame appeared, the egg rushed over and clung to Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
What was even scarier was that the Heavenly Worker’s Flame, known as the most destructive in the world, had no effect on the eggshell!
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked when Gu Ning spoke up.
“It’s absorbing your black flame.”
Upon hearing that, Jiang Xiaobai snapped back from his shock, and sure enough, it was true.
The power coming from the Heavenly Worker’s Flame was being completely absorbed by the egg. This was the fundamental reason the eggshell was unharmed.
In such case, the two became even more curious.
What creature could it be that liked flames, a magical beast or a ferocious beast?
Gu Ning was pondering in her heart, thinking about any ferocious or magical beasts related to fire, but she had no clue.
As time ticked by, Jiang Xiaobai, knowing that the egg liked flames and that the consumption of flames in this way was not great, didn’t see it as a big deal, and kept providing the egg with the Heavenly Worker’s Flame.
About two hours later, suddenly, the egg moved away from Jiang Xiaobai quickly and then started shaking.
The shaking became increasingly vigorous, and the two stared intently at the eggshell, their breathing slowing.
After who knows how long, suddenly a crack appeared on the eggshell.
The crack on the eggshell spread, and then a black claw came out from inside the egg.
Seeing the black claw, both of them were shocked.
This claw…
“This is somewhat cute!” Gu Ning exclaimed delightfully. At this point, she didn’t seem like a lofty expert in the calamity-passing phase, but more like a girl who had been bewitched.
Gu Ning even leaned in, stretching out her hand, wanting to touch the little claw.
Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, squinted his eyes, staring intently at the claw.
Upon a careful look, he felt as if he had seen this claw before.
He thought about it; such a peculiar magical beast must have some sort of significance. Could it be that he had seen it in a mural somewhere?
Before Jiang Xiaobai could figure it out, the eggshell continued to break, and then the thing inside the eggshell popped out.
Seeing the black, fluffy head that emerged, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyelids twitched.
“Damn it, this thing is actually a dog!”

“I knew it looked familiar!”
Jiang Xiaobai cursed.
After all that effort, it turns out there was a dog in the egg!
It’s like scratching a lottery ticket and seeing the word ‘special,’ expecting to win a special prize, only to reveal ‘special thanks’ once it’s completely scratched off!
