Chapter 196 Failed Products and Guards

Roy did not rashly touch the Red Sea Egg and merely observed it from nearby.

This was the Red Sea Egg, an important item for the creation of nephilim. Since the Charred Council had the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse kill their compatriots with their own hands when it recruited the Four Horsemen, it meant that it was wary of the nephilim. However, the council had not stored the Red Sea Egg on its own but placed it on an ancient battlefield instead. What did this mean?

It meant that the Charred Council seemed to want to use the Red Sea Egg to do something!

Thinking of this, Roy could not help but curse silently. This Charred Council was really acting one way in public and another in private. It seemed to be maintaining the balance under the banner of the Creator but secretly had unclear ambitions…

Although he had found his mission item, Roy did not relax. Instead, he became more vigilant.

The council must have placed the Red Sea Egg here to attempt something, but now, the egg looked withered. It was probably because the council’s experiments had failed. It could not control the Red Sea Egg and could not achieve what it wanted. However… after its failure, not only did it not seal the egg, but it left it here. Was the council too careless, or did it think that no one could take the Red Sea Egg from here?

If it was the former, then it was fine. But if it was the latter, then there might be guards dedicated to protecting the Red Sea Egg!

Roy looked at the endless corpses and bones around him. Even though he had seen many corpses, the ancient battlefield in front of him still made him feel a slight chill down his spine. He felt that if there were any guards here, they might be hiding under these bones and corpses, or maybe even… be these corpses!

Although Roy’s demon blood could create liches, it was actually due to the characteristics of his bloodline. It was not true necromancy. If the angels and demon corpses on this battlefield really became undead and stood up, Roy would immediately fall into the sea of an undead army and be unable to escape.

Therefore, the question was, how should he take away this Red Sea Egg?

Roy knew that Envy killing her way into the council and his undead army and low-level demons used for distraction might be able to buy him time, but this time would not be too long. He had to make a decision as soon as possible. Regardless, since Roy wanted to take the Red Sea Egg, he might alarm the guards, but he did not have any means to dig the Red Sea Egg quietly, so he could only use force!

The Red Sea Egg was huge. Even though it looked a little withered now, it was still as tall as a three-story building. Roy could not hug it with both hands, so he could only make a large number of chains through the system and weave them into a net. Then, starting from the bottom of the Red Sea Egg, he bound it in the chains firmly.

After all of this was prepared, Roy spread his wings and flew into the sky. He came to the top of the Red Sea Egg, grabbed the chain that looked like a bag, and began to exert his strength to pull out the Red Sea Egg!

Although Roy’s strength was not high, after becoming a high-rank, his strength had exceeded 150. When he began to exert force, the Red Sea Egg below made creaking sounds, and the soil, which was burying the roots and had not moved for a long time, was immediately churned up.

Roy pulled the Red Sea Egg up a distance, but then, no matter how hard he tried, the egg did not move much.

Roy knew that it would be troublesome now. He did not know how long the Red Sea Egg had been left in this ancient battlefield, but since it had plant characteristics, it would spare no effort to find ways to absorb nutrients. If the nutrients nearby were sucked dry, the roots would spread farther away. Roy suspected that the roots of the Red Sea Egg had probably covered the entire ancient battlefield!

F*ck, it’s a radius of a few kilometers. How much strength is needed to pull out such a large network of roots?!

The trouble did not stop here. After this ‘big carrot’ was pulled out some distance, the Red Sea Egg, which had entered a dormant state due to the depletion of nutrients, gradually woke up. It seemed to sense that it was being pulled out of the ground, so it began to shake and resist, increasing the resistance on Roy’s hands.

“This damn thing!” Roy clenched his teeth and continued to exert force. The muscles on his arms bulged as he competed with the Red Sea Egg.

But after a while, Roy found that it was impossible to do this, so he gritted his teeth, let go with one hand, and summoned Frostmourne from the system space. With a violent swing, an arc-shaped ice blade slashed at the rhizome of the Red Sea Egg!
