Chapter 1253 The Egg That Loves to Drink (1/2)
Pang!
The bottom of the bottle broke again.
This time, Han Sen had been staring at the red egg that was still inside the pot.
He couldn't sense a lifeforce within the egg, but the moment the bottle shattered, Han Sen saw a light swiftly beam out from it.
Han Sen was shocked. His Dongxuan Sutra was stronger than ever, but it hadn't been able to sense anything. His plain old eyesight, however, could.
”Must I suffer trouble even if all I want to do is boil an egg?!” Han Sen mused as he eyed the egg with a soured look.
”Something is wrong.” Han Sen then realized that the drink that had been spilt on the floor was missing. The cave wasn't particularly warm, so it didn't make sense for the ground to have dried up already.
As Han Sen frowned, he suddenly smelled the scent of alcohol.
Because the bottle broke, Han Sen hadn't taken immediate notice. The fragrance he detected now was coming from the bubbling pot.
”Is this thing boiling itself with alcohol?” Han Sen wasn't quite sure what to think.
The egg was strange, that much was certain, but Han Sen was not worried about the mischief it was causing. Even if it turned out to be a hostile super creature, he knew he could take it down.
Han Sen had Disloyal Knight and Little Angel by his side, so slaying a super creature would be a trivial task.
The egg showed no more activity in the pot, but that scent of alcohol was unmistakable. Han Sen turned to take a look at Bao'er on her airbed, but she was still merrily drinking from her bottle of milk.
”It looks like the egg's not interested in breaking bottles. Maybe it really is just fond of going after alcohol.” Han Sen grabbed himself another drink.
This time, Han Sen poured it into the pot.
After doing this, the symbols on the egg began to glow brighter. It seemed as if something would soon hatch. But still, Han Sen could not detect a lifeforce. And if he didn't know any better, he'd still believe the egg to be dead.
”Strange.” Han Sen had a lot of confidence in his Dongxuan Sutra, so this puzzle was perplexing to him.
It might make sense if an emperor was masking its presence and avoiding detection of the Dongxuan Sutra, but this was just an unborn creature egg. Not even berserk super creatures could avoid his detection.
”I need to find out what you are, you little blighter.” Han Sen grabbed a few more bottles and emptied their contents into the boiling pot.
