Three Choices, Astonishing Harvest!

Facing the reward offered by the Demon Lord, Han Xing took a deep breath.

He admitted that he was very tempted.

But he didn't completely trust the demon's words, so he asked, "I can help you, but how can I trust that you won't break your word and just leave after you're free?"

The Demon Lord on the other side chuckled, "Are you questioning my integrity?"

"Yes."

Han Xing nodded directly, "After all, you've already disgraced yourself so much, what's the point of caring about integrity?"

The Demon Lord was infuriated by him, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "I can sign a contract with you using my true name. As long as you undo the summoning array, I will definitely give you a reward!"

A true name contract?

Han Xing's eyes lit up. You should know that for the demon race, their most important thing is their true name.

Although it's not to the point where knowing the other party's true name allows you to control their life and death like in stories, swearing by one's name is still quite sincere.

"Okay, let's sign it then," Han Xing agreed readily.

A system prompt appeared.

[Demon Lord Julius has sworn by his true name, requesting your help to undo the summoning ritual. As a condition, you can choose one item as a reward. Do you want to sign?]

"Sign!"

Han Xing immediately clicked accept, and then asked, "How do I undo the summoning ritual?"

The demon's tone returned to calmness, "Invest Spirit Cores to purify the dark aura in the Spirit Spring Water, and the summoning ritual will naturally be interrupted."

Han Xing nodded. He didn't doubt the Demon Lord's words, because the second option of the system task was also this method from the beginning.

Han Xing was very cautious and didn't try to approach the summoning array even after accepting the task.

Because he wasn't sure if this demon had any other tricks.

He drew an arrow, then tied a Spirit Core to the tip with a rope, and shot the Spirit Cores into the water one by one using the bowstring.

The Demon Lord responded to Han Xing's wariness with a sneer.

As Spirit Cores were thrown into the pool one by one, the dark aura stopped spreading and turned clear.

The towering horn also began to fade at this time, as if it was about to disappear from this space.

It wasn't until Han Xing shot the thirty-seventh arrow that the Spirit Spring Water in the pool stopped emitting black gas.

The Demon Lord's horn slowly sank into the water, about to disappear.

Just then, Han Xing quickly shouted, "Demon, my reward!"

The Demon Lord wanted to go back on his word, but thinking of the true name contract he had signed, he still said, "Human, name the reward you desire."

Hearing this, Han Xing quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the three rewards in his mind, and was a little difficult to choose for a moment.

"You better make a decision quickly, otherwise, once the ritual dissipates, you will no longer be able to communicate with me. At that time, it won't be me breaking the contract," the demon sent a sinister smile.

Thinking of this guy's cunning, Han Xing gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision.

"I choose the Exotic Beast Egg!"

The other side seemed stunned for a moment, and the Demon Lord asked, "Are you sure you don't want my greatsword and Demon Blood?"

Han Xing nodded, "Sure, give it to me quickly!"

The demon sneered, "As you wish."

A moment later, as the Demon Lord completely disappeared, the originally dark sky became bright again.

At this time, Han Xing collapsed on the ground as if he had fought a great battle.

Just then, a system prompt appeared.

[Demon Lord Julius has returned to the Abyssal Realm. Survivor, you have completed a great subjugation. World Influence increased by 32. You have obtained 10 Legendary Points.]

"Legendary Points, what the heck are those?"

Han Xing was a little confused. He looked at the character interface and indeed had an additional Legendary Point.

However, there was no indication of the use of Legendary Points.

Shaking his head, Han Xing put it aside for now.

Because at this moment, his gaze had already seen that on the clear pool in the center of the Dark Elf territory, a pitch-black giant egg was floating.

Han Xing's eyes widened. He quickly approached the pool and grabbed the giant egg in his hand.

A system prompt appeared.

[Unknown race 'Exotic Beast Egg' obtained. Do you want to start hatching?]

[Please note: Once you choose to hatch, the creature inside the Exotic Beast Egg will automatically be bound as your pet. Each survivor can only bind one pet at the current stage. Please choose carefully.]

Hearing the system prompt, Han Xing thought thoughtfully, "Can only bind one pet?"

"I don't know what kind of creature is inside. Although the things the Demon Lord likes shouldn't be too bad, I'm just afraid of the off chance..."

For no reason at all, a hint of regret suddenly welled up in Han Xing's heart.

"Should I have chosen the Demon Blood or the Monarch Greatsword back then? Shouldn't have picked this Exotic Beast Egg?"

However, the next moment, he seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.

When he was choosing the reward just now, that Demon Lord seemed to prefer him choosing the Demon Blood or the Monarch Greatsword. It even specifically confirmed with Han Xing.

That guy definitely wasn't being so kind for no reason. The only possibility was that this Demon Lord had a conspiracy!

Han Xing said with a trembling voice, "I remember... the description of the Demon Blood said that after fusion, one would obtain demonic power, but their own bloodline would also be replaced with a demon bloodline. In other words, I would also become a member of the demon race."

"And demons are creatures with a strict hierarchy. High-ranking demons have absolute power over the life and death of low-ranking demons!"

"Once I become a demon, would I also be controlled by it?"

"And that Demon Lord's Greatsword, as a weapon it has wielded for many years, it must have set up some means on it. Maybe it could directly use the greatsword to control my soul and seize my body!"

"Crap!" Han Xing suddenly woke up.

He realized that his guess was likely correct. That demon's initial goal was to control him!

He broke out in a cold sweat and said hatefully, "Cunning bastard!"

At the same time, he was also extremely grateful in his heart, "Fortunately... I unintentionally made the most correct choice."

When Han Xing looked at the pitch-black giant egg in front of him again, he didn't feel so regretful anymore.

After all, compared to his own life, what did these things matter?

Thinking of this, Han Xing clicked on hatch without hesitation.

A system prompt appeared.

[Do you want to hatch the 'Unknown Exotic Beast Egg'? This hatching will take 100 hours.]

"100 hours, that's so long?"

The time spent was very long.

Han Xing clicked confirm, and then said with anticipation, "Hopefully, it will hatch a powerful pet for me. I wouldn't even mind a dragon!"

Although Han Xing also knew that he was just daydreaming.

From its appearance to its size, this giant egg had absolutely nothing to do with a dragon. The probability of hatching a dragon was very, very low.

[Hatching in progress, remaining time 99 hours 59 minutes 58 seconds.]

After dealing with the giant egg, Han Xing looked at the pool in front of him with fiery eyes.

He hadn't forgotten his original purpose. He had risked challenging this group of Dark Elves for the water source in the center of the territory!

Although he had experienced some twists and turns, and even had a game with that terrifying existence, he was fortunate to have finally succeeded!

Now, as long as he merged this territory, he would directly have a large amount of water resources, completely solving the water crisis.

Not only that, if this batch of Spirit Spring Water appeared on the trading market, it would definitely cause a scramble in the entire District 107.

And he would be able to make huge profits from it!
