2818 The Man Had Stolen Its Egg (2/2)
”Did the Candle Dragon do this to you?” She made a guess.
Di Fuyi nodded.
”The Candle Dragon was not even supposed to be there, was it?”
”The pool leads all the way out to Earthsea. It used to be there,” Di Fuyi answered accordingly.
Gu Xijiu knew about Earthsea. It was buried deep within the earth's core, so it was known as the Earthsea for carrying a lot of water in the ground. Regular seawater was in crystal clear tint of blue, whereas the water that came from the Earthsea was as dark as ink. With a constant temperature of boiling water, nothing on earth could possibly survive in the harsh environment.
The location of the Earthsea was unknown. She remembered clearly that she had never been there. More accurately speaking, she had never found the place yet.
Surprisingly, the pool turned out to be the entrance of Earthsea. When she saw him, he must have just emerged from Earthsea.
”How did you come across its path?” Gu Xijiu was impressed by his bravery. He dared to fight a Candle Dragon alone.
Di Fuyi took a black egg out of his storage bag and answered, ”For this.”
Gu Xijiu was dumbstruck. She finally knew why the Candle Dragon had been tirelessly pursuing them. The man had stolen its egg. It all made sense to her now.
She observed the egg, which was almost the size of a basket. It was glossy on its black surface, as though associated with a circle of light around it.
”Are you going to hatch the egg and use the little creature as your majestic pet?”
The Candle Dragon was considered as a mythical creature, which was absolutely difficult to be subjected to domestication. It was almost impossible to be tamed and trained when it was fully-grown, which led Gu Xijiu to think that the egg was for domestication.
Di Fuyi put the egg down on the snow. ”No, not this one.”
”What is it about, then?”
”I heard it tastes good.”
