The Nine-Headed Monster's egg was in hand, but what made Yue Yang want to faint was that, for some unknown reason, this egg he had obtained only after untold hardship had cracked. A tiny fissure had appeared in the shell. Though no egg white or anything else leaked out, this egg probably could no longer hatch a Nine-Headed Monster.
Just like that, Yue Yang's beautiful dream of getting rich was utterly shattered by that tiny crack.
After two hours of painstakingly and dangerously luring the enemy, running the entire Nine-Headed Monster family ragged, all he had gotten in the end was a broken egg... Yue Yang truly wanted to smash the egg hard against the ground!
"You think that means I have no way to deal with you? I-I'll eat you!" In the end, Yue Yang decided to turn grief and indignation into appetite.
Returning beneath the Ten-Thousand-Year Ancient Oak, he built a fire and roasted the Nine-Headed Monster egg, which might have been worth thousands of gold coins. He ate until he was full, let out a burp, and rubbed his belly. For the first time in his life, Yue Yang felt extravagant. If there had been any second choice, he definitely would not have roasted and eaten it. But there was truly no other way. By comparison, Grey Wolf, who had just been worked half to death and narrowly escaped death, ate with great relish, beaming with delight. This Nine-Headed Monster egg was an enormous tonic for it!
After Yue Yang roasted and ate the Nine-Headed Monster egg, he waited and waited, yet Yue Bing still had not arrived.
Ye Kong and the Li brothers were nowhere to be seen either.
So he simply climbed onto a huge branch of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ancient Oak and fell fast asleep.
