A successful hatching, a hatchling mistakes its mother
Ultimately, under Su Zhan's forceful threat, the Moon Beast accepted this arduous task, its face full of frustration as it began to ponder the egg.
Before he could do anything, the egg started shaking and becoming agitated.
This shaking was different from before; it was more violent than any of the previous ones. After several erratic tumblings, it flew into the sky.
It was so fast that even Su Zhan couldn't see its flight path.
It swayed back and forth throughout the room, crashing wildly. It would slam into the east wall one moment and the west wall the next, each impact producing a loud bang, making one wonder if the eggshell had already been shattered.
Running around like this, it knocked over many things in the room, and the walls were dented in many places.
Su Zhan quickly reinforced the outer isolation Great Formation, trying his best to prevent people outside from noticing the commotion inside.
The Moon Beast, terrified, hid behind Su Zhan, secretly observing the frenzied egg.
It was clearly just an unborn cub, yet it strangely made the Moon Beast feel threatened.
"What exactly is that thing?" The Moon Beast roared and asked Su Zhan, its fur standing on end.
Su Zhan simply stared silently at the egg, his gaze following its rolling movements.
It spun around for a full half hour before the egg finally settled down and landed on the ground.
Su Zhan carefully examined the eggshell; after such a long and intense impact, there wasn't a single mark left on it.
The only thing that could be detected was the increasingly turbulent energy fluctuations; it was clear that an explosion was imminent!
If it fails to hatch, it will surely die! Su Zhan quickly realized this.
I instinctively reached out to help it hatch.
But at that moment, the Moon Beast rushed in front of him and blocked his way, saying, "Although I don't understand their hatching patterns, I know that the hatching process for most things is both a challenge and a hurdle that must be overcome."
"If it cannot hatch on its own, it will certainly not be able to survive in this world. Helping it now would be harming it. Even if you want to help, you should wait until the final crisis."
Having no other choice, Su Zhan could only heed the Moon Beast's advice and stop, feeling the energy on the dragon egg growing increasingly turbulent.
Gradually, its movements stabilized, and soon it remained motionless.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still constantly emitting surging energy, Su Zhan would have almost thought it was dead.
Su Zhan observed for a long time, but finally couldn't resist and gently touched the bullet casing with his index finger, as if trying to find out its condition.
The instant his finger pressed down, the entire egg seemed to be pressed like a button, instantly emitting a burst of golden light.
Caught off guard, Su Zhan was startled by the flash and raised his hand to shield his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the surrounding light had already faded and disappeared, leaving only a pile of debris on the ground.
His gaze swept across the entire room, subconsciously searching for what had disappeared.
But he couldn't find it no matter how much he looked up or down. He felt a slight itch on his shoulder and only then did he realize it when he looked down slightly.
A tiny creature, about the size of a palm, was perched on his shoulder.
After hatching, the surging Demonic Power emanating from it seemed to vanish in an instant, and its appearance was not as fierce as Su Zhan had imagined.
Its small body, paired with those big eyes, surprisingly exudes a harmless cuteness.
Su Zhan wanted to reach out and lift it from his shoulder to take a closer look, but before he could touch it, it moved its back, flapped its tender wings, and flew to his side.
It paused for two seconds, then flew to the top of his head. It scratched his hair, ruffled it, and then made it its nest, settling down steadily.
It was also chirping, "Chirp chirp!"
Seeing Su Zhan's expression, the Moon Beast couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying to Su Zhan, "It seems to think you're its mother."
"You stole this while its mother wasn't around, so you've practically recognized a thief as your father."
Su Zhan had no patience to joke around with the Moon Beast. He slapped the Moon Beast so hard it disappeared, and then removed the little creature from his head.
Before he could examine it closely, the isolation Great Formation outside seemed to have been activated, and he abruptly threw the cub in his hand to the Moon Beast.
He turned and dismantled the Great Formation, then hurriedly went outside.
Seeing Jiang Shiyue waiting outside, he asked, "What's wrong? Is something urgent?"
Jiang Shiyue: "It's nothing, I just feel like the atmosphere here is a bit off."
"Although you weren't very strong, something felt off about you, so I came to check if you were alright."
Su Zhan just laughed it off and said dismissively, "It's nothing, how could anything be wrong?"
The more he acted like this, the more suspicious Jiang Shiyue. He frowned and looked him over two or three times before saying, "It's good that you're alright."
The truth isn't really important. Since Su Zhan has such cultivation at this age, he's obviously not a simple person. If the other party really doesn't have any secrets, he would find it strange.
Since Su Zhan was not in any danger, he wouldn't worry about it.
He's lived so many years in this world; if he can't even let go of this, he'll only be adding to his troubles.
Seeing him leave, Su Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't distrust Jiang Shiyue, he subconsciously felt that he shouldn't tell them about the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon.
The impact of this matter may be greater than he imagined; cautiously speaking, it would be better for him to keep it a secret for now.
Su Zhan his Divine Sense to probe and confirmed that the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon was relatively safe with the Moon Beast, so he didn't take it out to check again.
He simply took the materials he had gathered some time ago and planned to make another batch of Thousand Year Drunk. After all, he was Jiang Shiyue's Senior Disciple Brother, and he couldn't be too much worse than him, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Arriving at his usual place for brewing wine, he expected to see True Man Lin Lie lying there drinking, but after circling around, he couldn't find True Man Lin Lie anywhere.
He frowned and asked Jiang Shiyue, Jiang Shiyue replied, "I don't know what True Man Lin Lie has been busy with lately; he's been nowhere to be seen."
Su Zhan frowned again, subconsciously feeling that True Man Lin Lie was up to something again, but there was no point in keeping him around.
Since he wants to browse, let him browse.
Su Zhan down his things and began brewing the Thousand Year Drunk. He carefully examined the Medicinal Herbs he had collected again to make sure that there were no herbs with conflicting properties or those that might cause significant damage.
I confidently and boldly added it in, abandoning my previous cautious approach, and put together several things that I had never tried before and that carried a certain degree of risk to give them a try.
If you don't make these attempts, you're destined not to improve.
