Chapter 259 - Egg (1/2)

”...Run!”

Hao Xuan heard Ensis's explanation but still couldn't understand what he was talking about. What was this ”divine sense” he was referring to?

Nevertheless, the current situation didn't allow him to be curious for much longer.

He summoned Bai and contacted Ensis and Monk again, ”Hurry up!”

”Coming!” x2

While he waited for them to arrive, a very faint pressure appeared in the cavern.

At the start it felt like there was a lack of oxygen in the area which made it harder to breathe, but as the second's ticked by it became stronger and stronger.

Small beads of sweat appeared around Hao Xuan's temple's and slowly crawled downwards.

He looked around worriedly and once again the grey blood from the dead beast caught his attention.

Even though he was worried about the incoming creature, his body still reacted to its presence. He unconsciously licked his lips that had dried up at some point and gulped down.

”Maybe...just a little....” he murmured, almost entranced by it. It was like he had been running through a desert a for months without water and now an oasis had appeared in front of his eyes. How could he possibly ignore it?

Making up his mind he waved his hand and took out a small the size of about 10 inches in length. The bottle had shimmering engravings floating around it and it seemed to be made out of a metallic material.

This bottle was one of the hundreds of things he had bought from the ”Den's” website. It was used to store any fluids that had some special characteristics, given that they weren't too strong in nature.

He bent down and held the bottle's mouth to the bubbling grey liquid and started flowing inside it on its own.

The bright engravings that were moving up and down the bottle sped up. The more liquid entered into the bottle the brighter they became.

Even though the bottle's own size wasn't that big, it could still hold about 4 liters of liquid. In less than 10 seconds it was filled to the brim. Hao Xuan quickly closed it and put it away.

The amount he had taken was so small that it didn't affect the mini-lake at all. Its level basically remained the exact same.

”Let's go!”

Monk's voice came from afar, waking Hao Xuan from his stupor. He looked around and saw two streaks running towards him from the opposite side.

Hao Xuan jumped and landed on Bai. Ensis and Monk reached a few seconds later and joined him.

”Let's go!”

The pressure was already strong enough that they felt like they were in walking in shallow water, but that still wasn't enough to hinder Bai's movements. The muscles on his legs expanded and contracted like the beating of wings, shooting him towards the tunnel they had come from. With just a few leaps he was already running back up through it.

*Krrrrrr*

”What the hell?!”

Monk who was the very back suddenly felt every hair on his body stand straight up. Even the ones on his head stood up straight like needles and small sparks of electricity moved in between them like miniature snakes.

*Bzzt*

Ensis and Hao Xuan both felt a jolt of electricity pass through their bodies and then to Bai.

”What's going on? The hell did you do?!” Hao Xuan turned around and shot Monk a glare.

”I....I...” Monk looked guilty as he started stuttering.

*'SPEAK!'*

In his anger, Hao Xuan used the constitution's power to order him.

”I picked up an egg from a small cave down there. It was just laying there....” he explained.

The vein above Hao Xuan's right eye throbbed as he felt the oncoming headache.

”You f*king idiot! We were in an Ether Beasts layer and you just picked up a random a*s egg like it belonged to a chicken?!”

Monk looked away, ashamed.

”I-I can just drop it now...”

”We're already dead. The f*ck is that going to achieve?” Hao Xuan retorted furiously.

They were simple trespassers before but now they had become thieves and probably kidnappers....again...

Hao Xuan looked at Ensis, ”Can you do something to cover our tracks? Hide us from that divine sense or whatever?”

Ensis closed his eyes for a second before opening them again. He looked at Hao Xuan and nodded, ”I can try, but I'm not sure how long it will work.”

He waved his hand, summoning the black sword.
