âWhat did you think of?â
Gan Lan was helpless, seeing that Ye Zhongming was so calm even in danger, but hearing that the guy asked, she seriously said, âIt has something to do with the Frost Monster corpses outside?â
Gan Lan wasnât stupid. Or rather, people who spent two years wouldnât be stupid. Since Ye Zhongming asked her, she naturally thought about the weird situation they faced previously.
He nodded.
The greyish-white floor outside was like solar panels. The Frost Monster corpses were the sunlight that was absorbed by the ground. Where did they go?
If he hadnât seen the patterns in the tunnel, he would have just thought the ground absorbed them. Bright Water World was different from Earth, and it wouldnât be surprising if that happened.
But when he saw this, he wouldnât think that way. The egg was where the energy went to.
A few parts of the egg were pierced through, and a few sharp drills were pierced out before retracting. After a few times, big cracks appeared. The lifeform inside was about to come out.
âKill it!â Gan Lan couldnât take it and wanted Ye Zhongming to attack.
Ye Zhongming shook his head, âI want to see what hatches.â
Gan Lan rolled her eyes and didnât say anything.
Ye Zhongming wasnât being arrogant; he wanted to see what surprise this place could give him. Moreover, he had some guesses about the lifeform in the egg.
Firstly, this was a Bright Water World dungeon. He didnât know if this was the toughest one but it should be up there. Even then, with many caves and each having many Frost Monsters, he didnât think there would be an extremely strong boss he couldnât handle.
Secondly, letâs talk about the Frost Monsters. They were as strong as five-star evolved. So, the monster about to hatch should be around level six. Even if this dungeon was difficult, it was level seven then. Such a monster would have been slightly problematic for Ye Zhongming, but it wasnât a threat.
With such an analysis, he wasnât afraid. But Gan Lan was.
Crack, crack.
The cracking sounds got louder and louder, and some big pieces fell. The monster's four limbsâthose drill-shaped thingsâcould be seen.
Although Ye Zhongming didnât fear it, he waited on the spot and didnât get close.
Gan Lan took a few steps back. The two ice birds got slightly closer and looked curiously.
After a few dozen seconds, the entire shell exploded loudly and split into pieces. A half-human, half-beast monster appeared.
Ye Zhongming took a look before shifting his gaze to the ground. Those unknown matter stopped flowing toward it.
âGa!â
A weird sound attracted Ye Zhongmingâs attention.
Ye Zhongming took one look and had a weird expression.
This beastâs stomach actually faced the sky.
The eggâs head faced the top, and the monster fell head first after hatching.
But when the monster got up, Ye Zhongming couldnât laugh anymore.
This fellow looked vicious.
It had eight muscular legs that were spread evenly around it. These eight legs had two segments combined to form a circular pillar stuck to the ground.
A 1.5-meter body with developed muscles was on the circular pillar. On the chest, a wolf-like mouth was located, and there were many fangs.
Four arms were on the two sides of the body. However, these arms only had one segment, and energy currents fired from the elbows.
The head was huge, like a devil. In China, there were things in legend that looked similar to this fellow, but Ye Zhongming couldnât recall what they were called.
It seemed like the things that broke through the shell were its legs.
The monster was white, but this white wasnât clean. There were grey things inside. It had no hair, but like humans, it had a face with features. There were circular dots on both sides of the face with black fur that made one vomit.
This monster looked at Ye Zhongming and shouted excitedly. It charged with its eight legs.
The two ice birds were furious. They didnât care how strong this monster was and dove down.
âReturn!â
Ye Zhongmingâs expression changed. He shouted and held his blade.
The moment the ice birds dove down, he captured the cunning expression in the eyes of the monster.
It did it on purpose!
Its target wasnât Ye Zhongming but the two ice birds in the sky!
Seeing the ice birds dive, the eight legs used strength to leap. It reached the ice birdâs height, and the energy currents from the four arms disappeared. It turned into those Frost Monsterâs skills. Four ice chains fired toward the two ice birds.
This monster was very agile and sudden. The two ice birds were diving down, and when they noticed that the situation was off and wanted to dodge it, it was too late. But they were vicious lifeforms and decided to fight it head-on. They opened their mouths. The corrosive poison fired. They didnât aim at the chains but the monsterâs body.
The ice birds loved to fight. The moment they attacked, they aimed for the kill.
This made Ye Zhongming anxious.
The growth of the two ice birds gave him great hope. He saw two lifeforms that could survive to the end. If they died before they matured, it would be a waste.
Ye Zhongming couldnât fly into the sky like them. It was too late to use skills now, as the two chains were about to hit them. He was anxious and did something he hadnât tried before.
