Chapter 84: Strange Beast? It's Clearly a Glutinous Rice Ball...

  Su Leng walked over with the gentle breeze, following Xiao Bai's voice. By Xiao Bai's feet, there was a small nest made of dry branches and grass stems, where an olive-sized oval blue egg lay quietly...

  Is this thing the strange beast guarded by those four sacred beasts? Su Lengfeng crouched down, holding up a "torch" to take a closer look, but couldn't see anything special about the egg.

  As Su Leng was able to accurately find the location of the exotic beast egg in this maze-like underground passageway, Mo Xun raised an eyebrow in surprise and had some speculations in his mind. However, he didn't ask anything further and squatted down as well, focusing his attention on observing the blue-green egg carefully.

  Xiao Bai flapped her small wings, circling around the green egg and chatting with Su Lingfeng, "Master, see? I told you this egg is bigger than mine..." Glancing at Xiao Zui's mouth, she continued: "Just one look and it's clear that it's a weak and insignificant creature. Humph! You humans really don't understand, why bother searching for such useless things..."

  Su Leng Feng ignored the obviously unbalanced little dragon and asked Mo Xue and Chen Dust: "Do you know what kind of magical pet egg this is?"

  Mo Wen stroked his chin, "I'm still not sure..."

  Su Langfeng saw the expression of Mo Wenxun and knew that he had already guessed roughly, but was not yet daring to be 100% sure. Su Langfeng didn't rush to ask either, after all, the strange beast in this strange egg would come out sooner or later.

  "Shall we go up now?" Su Lengfeng asked.

  "Wait a minute." Mo Xue dust seemed to have discovered something, stretched out his hand and rummaged through the dry grass in the small nest.

  Su Lingfeng watched his movements without saying a word.

  Mo Wen dusted off for a moment, then stretched out two fingers and "pa" "pa" snapped twice on the shell of the green egg.

  Without waiting for Ink to ask, Dust's fingers moved away, and the green egg responded as if it had been waiting, suddenly shaking gently twice...

  Mo Wenchen smiled and said, "This little guy is about to come out soon, let's wait a bit longer. This nest has temperature-fixing Nippon grass that helps with the incubation of magical pets, but it's not easy to move around, otherwise the temperature will change."

  "Oh, okay." Su Lengfeng nodded, anyway she didn't have anything urgent to attend to outside.

  Su Leng stood up, holding the "torch" to observe the surroundings. This was a relatively spacious earth cave. The walls and ground seemed to have been deliberately repaired by some animals. There were many claw marks on it, and it was rare that in such a low underground place, the cave was still relatively dry, without too much dampness.

  "This should be the burrow of that Groundhog, a sacred beast that is extremely skilled at digging holes," said Mo Xuan.

  "Oh."

  Mo Wen took out a thick animal hide from the spatial ring and spread it on the ground, "Come sit down, this little guy in the egg may be born at any moment, or maybe we'll have to wait for one or two days."

  Su Lingfeng walked up to the animal hide and sat down.

  Mo Wen sat down opposite Su Lingfeng, and then summoned a clean handkerchief and a medicine bottle from the spatial ring. Afterwards, she naturally reached out to grab Su Lingfeng's arm that was injured when she fell, lifted up her worn-out sleeve, and carefully wiped away the dirt and sand on the wound with the handkerchief. Her movements were extremely gentle, as if afraid of hurting her in general...

  Su Ling's eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything and didn't dodge, letting Mo Xun dust help treat the wound.

  She used to get injured during training or missions, and had male comrades help her dress her wounds, so she wasn't averse to gentle contact from the opposite sex. However, Mo Xun Chen's attentiveness and the warmth in his expression still made her feel a little strange!

  But she didn't think deeply...

  "Does it hurt? Unfortunately, I don't know the Life Spirit Technique, so you can only endure...” Mo Xun sprinkled the medicinal powder evenly onto Su Lingfeng's wound and then summoned a piece of gauze to carefully bandage it.

  "I'm not so particular." Su Ling said calmly.

  This little injury is nothing for her...

  "Tsk tsk, Master, this man is much gentler than you." Xiaobai blinked her big eyes and shook her head as she expressed her opinion.

  Su Lingfeng glanced at Xiao Bai with a slanted gaze and asked coolly, "Do you want me to be very gentle with you?"

  Xiao Bai carefully examined Su Lengfeng's cold face, imagining replacing the expression on her face with a gentle smile...

  "Hmm... forget it..." Xiaobai shook her little head, she simply couldn't imagine what Su Lengfeng would look like after switching faces.

  "Crack——"

  "Crack crack crack——"

  Suddenly a cracking sound came from inside the cave! The sound was not loud, but it was very clear!

  Su Lingfeng, Mo Wenchen and Xiao Bai heard the movement and turned their heads to look at the green egg in the grass nest. Sure enough, they saw a crack on the top of the eggshell that was spreading and expanding in all directions!

  Su Ling leaned in close to the small nest and examined it carefully. Last time, the young dragon's egg had split open from the middle, but this time, the strange beast's egg seemed to have a bit of a "chick breaking out of its shell" feel to it...

  Soon, the top of the eggshell was pushed open by a ball of milky white stuff, and two very small and tender little paws stretched out from inside, struggling to climb along the edge of the eggshell. From that ball of stuff, a pair of bright black eyes opened, curiously staring at Su Lingfeng...

  Xiaobai also came over curiously, tilted her head to look at the things in the egg, and pouted, "So ugly!"

  "Mom——!" The little thing suddenly shouted in a soft and sweet voice, jumped out of the egg, rushed to Su Lingfeng, hugged her neck with its small paws, and rubbed its small body on her face, extremely affectionate...

  "Ugh...... Master, this stupid beast actually calls you mom! It's really a lowly beast, too idiotic!" Xiao Bai said with disgust.

  Su Lengfeng reached out and grabbed the soft thing, pulling it off his face with a jerk. He held it up in one hand, frowning: "What is this thing?"

  It must be a divine beast-level demon that can speak human language, but she has never seen such a strange demon in the "Demon Chronicle". This round and plump little thing, which is indistinguishable from its head, neck, and body, looks just like a glutinous rice ball.

  Mo Wen looked at the small thing that was struggling in Su Lings' hand and calling out "Mama", smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Reincarnation Beast..."

  "Reincarnation beast?" Su Lengfeng repeated in confusion, it was her first time hearing of such a magical creature.

  "The Wheel of Rebirth beast is even rarer and more precious than the Divine Beast." Mo Wencheng slowly explained to Su Lingfeng: "Each Wheel of Rebirth beast, only one in a generation, relies on blood inheritance to reincarnate. After one generation dies, its essence remains in the world, usually taking thousands of years to nurture before giving birth to the next generation... Therefore, there are very few records of Wheel of Rebirth beasts in the books of the various continents..."
