Chapter 61: Give Me Back My Egg, Ox-Dragon Serpent Egg
Chapter 61: Give Me Back My Egg, Ox-Dragon Serpent Egg
“What is this?”
Ling Jiu picked up the giant egg as a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the Titan Tempest Ape was hugging it earlier.
The Titan Tempest Ape was a Class 5 Direbeast. Why was it hugging a rock?
A rock?
It did look like a rock!
“Sir!”
Just as Ling Jiu was about to inspect the giant egg, Yang Gan rushed over and smiled. “Sir, my apologies, we accidentally dropped something here!”
As he spoke, he pointed at the giant egg in Ling Jiu’s hand. It went without saying that the giant egg in Ling Jiu’s hand was the item he dropped earlier and hoped that Ling Jiu could return it to him.
“Your item?”
Ling Jiu scattered the osmium soil from his body, revealing his real look. Yang Gan could not help but be shocked when he saw this. “How... How could it be you?!”
“It’s him?”
“Isn’t he Pangu’s captain?”
“Goodness me! He’s so strong!”
The Vulcan team members who rushed over later were all dumbstruck as well. The Level 5 Arcanist who fought the Titan Tempest Ape to a standstill, and then finally killing it... was actually Ling Jiu?
This joke had gone a little too far!
Ling Jiu did not care about the Vulcan team member’s shock, and instead, put the giant egg in his hand. “You say this thing is yours? Do you have any proof?”
“Proof?”
Yang Gan snapped back and said with a dry smile, “Captain Ling, you may not know, we had left in a hurry and had accidentally dropped it, but it is indeed mine, my team members can vouch for me!”
“Captain Ling, this thing is really ours, we can vouch for that!”
The Vulcan team members all spoke up. This was something worth tens of billions, and they will have to get it back no matter what!
“That is to say, none of you can provide any proof that it’s yours?”
The edge of Ling Jiu’s mouth raised slightly.
“This...”
Yang Gan was at a loss for words. Proof?
What proof?
This was something they had stolen from Heilong Lake, and they had not even had the chance to have a proper gander at it before it was thrown back to the Titan Tempest Ape. What proof would they have?
“It can’t be helped if there’s no proof!”
Ling Jiu shook his head. “If I remember correctly, this belonged to the Titan Tempest Ape, and I killed that ape, so it’s naturally my war trophy!”
After saying that, Ling Jiu turned around to leave. Yang Gan panicked and blocked Ling Jiu’s path. “It’s mine, give it back!”
“Yours?”
Ling Jiu stared coldly at Yang Gan. “Since it’s yours, then could you tell me, why it was in the hands of the Titan Tempest Ape?”
“I...”
Yang Gan was suddenly speechless.
“At a loss for words?”
Ling Jiu sneered, “Then get out of my way!”
“Ling Jiu!!!”
Yang Gan growled. “Give it back, or I’ll...”
Baaaam!!
Before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying gravitational force suddenly came crashing down. Caught off guard, Yang Gan was directly crushed into the ground.
“You dare to threaten me?” Ling Jiu said coldly. “Who do you think you are?”
“Damn you!”
Yang Gan was filled with both fury and humiliation. He used all of his strength as he tried to get up, yet the gravity pressing on him was like the Himalayan Mountain. No matter how he struggled he was unable to get back up.
“Captain Ling, please spare him!”
Upon seeing this, a Vulcan team member hurriedly said. “We’ll give it up, please let Captain Yang go!”
“Captain Ling, considering we are from the same base city...”
The other team members also begged for mercy as they had belatedly realized something.
This was an uninhabited wilderness, even if Ling Jiu was to kill all of them, there would be no evidence, and their deaths would be in vain.
The giant egg may be valuable, but their life...
It was even much more precious!
“Only this once, no more exceptions next time!”
Ling Jiu snorted and left straight away.
“Hah....”
Yang Gan sat on the ground as he gasped for air. His eyes were filled with bitterness, humiliation, hatred, and anger...
That was something worth billions, and it was snatched away just like that!
“Ling Jiu!!!”
Yang Gan clenched his fist, his eyes were filled with a bottomless fury. “Things that I can’t get, you won’t get it either!”
...
The maglev motorcycle’s autopilot function was activated as it slowly sped toward Longquan Town. Ling Jiu checked the information on the microcomputer, and his entire person plunged into unspeakable excitement.
“Unexpectedly!”
“It’s actually something like this!”
“No wonder that Direbeast attacked the Vulcan team!”
“No wonder Yang Gan would rather offend me just to get his hand on this.”
“It’s really...”
Ling Jiu was very excited. He thought it was just a simple rescue operation, but he never expected to get such a haul. This egg was worth at least tens of billions.
The question now was, what was this big egg?
The microcomputer gave out the details.
Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent Egg: Egg of a Class 7 Direbeast, can breed a new Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent. Price: 30 billion per unit.
The Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent: Class 7 Direbeast. Extremely powerful, with unparalleled defense, and also has Ice-type Arcana, and belongs to the best of the Class 7 Direbeasts.
“Who would have thought that this plain rock is actually a Class 7 Direbeast, the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent’s egg? That’s a bloody Class 7 Direbeast!”
Ling Jiu was very excited.
According to market conditions, a Class 7 Direbeast carcass can sell for billions, and if a carcass could sell for that much, what more of a Class 7 Direbeast egg?
It would only get even more expensive and even more outrageous because the value of eggs was much greater!
“A Class 7 Direbeast is also known as a Lord of the Direbeasts. Beneath each Class 7 Direbeast is a large number of Direbeasts, just like the lords and nobility among the humans!”
“The Direbeast Lord got its name from that!”
“So, every Class 7 Direbeast is synonymous with might and terror!”
“If one can tame a Class 7 Direbeast, not only would you be able to get a powerful combat partner, but also an army of Direbeasts!”
“Sadly, a Class 7 Direbeast is just too ferocious to be tamed at all!”
“The Direbeast egg is different, however, and the beast it hatches can be tamed!”
“As long as it is properly hatched, an Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent can be hatched from this egg. In just a dozen years, it will grow to its peak state, and become a powerful Class 7 Direbeast!”
“A Class 7 Direbeast!”
A glint flashed in Ling Jiu’s eyes. “I guess, even in Chang’an Base City, there are not that many Level 7 Arcanists that could actually match a Class 7 Direbeast!”
“Not to mention that a Class 7 Direbeast, or a Direbeast Lord, has the ability to form a huge army of Direbeasts!”
“So, if I were to put this egg up for sale, I can definitely sell it for a sky-high price!”
“I wonder how did those people from Vulcan steal this egg from the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent’s lair. Was it sleeping?”
Ling Jiu mumbled to himself, but this was obviously not the point. The main thing was the egg was in his hands now, and that itself was enough!
So, should he keep it or sell it?
