Soul Land IV: Unlimited Fighting

Chapter 4 – A Child Born From Eggs

Extreme North, Douluo.

Some of the snow that had piled up in the valley had been cleared. After a full 24-hour investigation, Lan Xiao and his small research team were able to confirm that the location where the flickering golden and silver light emitted intense life energy was safe.

Lan Xiao determined precisely that this should be a piece of relic, and under normal circumstances, a relic that released the life energy of a million-year-old spirit beast was already considered a great discovery for them.

The next step was to dig up the relic.

Both machines had been working for half a day and ended up clearing the snow on the surface. But under the accumulated snow, there was still ice and who knows until how long these ice had been frozen; they might even be harder than steel. And to prevent destroying what is inside, they have to be extra careful.

The layer of ice was very thick, but after clearing the snow on the surface, they could see that gold and silver were shining through the clear and thick ice.

The light was subtle; it was not strong but very clear.

The life detector has observed the situation inside – living energy still remains the same, and it is not affected by anything they do outside.

This is a good sign and proves that the chances of danger are low.

The Soul Guidance Energy slowly cut through the life energy and continuously monitored the position of this object.

After two full hours and about four meters of thick ice sliced through, they were finally able to roughly judge the size of this object.

“He has a diameter of about half a meter, the width is about 30 centimeters. It had an oval body and was definitely not a spirit beast. It looks like an egg, ”Nan Cheng reported to Lan Xiao.

Lan Xiao's eyes twinkled. “If it was really an egg, then we might have made a great achievement. Although I still can't figure out what kind of beast spirit egg this is right now, but if the egg itself can give off millions of years of life energy, it will be a million years old, it was needless to think that this was an egg left behind by a spirit beast at the Beast King level. It is rare that it can still thrive with life energy once it is sealed in ice, but incubation is very possible. We found a treasure! "

A million-year-old ferocious beast existed on those two spirit beast planets, but they were already extinct in the Soul Land long ago. Also, the federation had an agreement with the two spirit beast planets that if they ever found a spirit beast of that level, the federation would have to send it back to the spirit beast planet. In return, the beast planet would pay taxes and give them whatever resources they needed to benefit both parties.

As the person who made the discovery, their research team would not only receive a promotion, they would also receive a huge reward.

"It looks like this is a wedding gift from heaven!" Lan Xiao took the opportunity to hug Nan Cheng's shoulder and laughed.

"Don't be careless, let's give it back first," said Nan Cheng gently.

Lan Xiao laughed. "I like it when you're like that …"

"If you call me a fool again, I'll be mad at you," Nan Cheng cut him off and gave him a threatening gesture.

"Boss, we took it."

Lan Xiao hurriedly turned to the screen, and on the screen, a machine grasped a block of ice and faced the camera.

Indeed, there was an egg on that transparent ice. This oval-shaped egg has a decorative pattern of gold and silver woven smooth on its surface.

The two decorative designs were twinkling in luster; they were truly strange.

"Quickly, bring it back," Lan Xiao ordered immediately.

Immediately, an egg sealed within this ice appeared before them.

There was some equipment to inspect on the plane, and after careful inspection, the only thing they could prove was that there was a thick life energy contained within this strange egg.

And compared to the archive of spirit beast images from the Federation Research Institute, there was no similar type of spirit beast egg.

"Should we keep it in a cold environment?" Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao stood in front of the egg of this strange spirit beast. He asked this question because the layer of ice on the egg surface almost melted when they were busy doing the previous tests. This also allows them to see these eggs more clearly.

First of all, there was her luster — the gold and silver pattern on the egg was very shiny but the pattern on its surface was very long; whether it was a gold or silver pattern, they seemed to spin each other and turn around.

Lan Xiao frowned and said, “Logically speaking, the environment should not be too affecting as it contains powerful life energy. But to be safe, in order not to be affected by the temperature if it were a snow-type spirit beast, we would store it in a low temperature. We will discuss again when we return to the research institute. Before we hand it over, we still have to carry out a series of detailed inspections and tests. Opportunities like this are hard to come by, and I fear it will be difficult to replicate experiments like this in the future. "His eyes lit up when mentioning the experiment. He was very interested in ancient spirit beasts and was very knowledgeable in that aspect. When he was in school, he was known as an encyclopedia of ancient spirit beasts that were still alive.

Cha.

A little voice surprised them all.

"Does it come from eggs?" Asked Nan Cheng.

“Quick, everyone, collect. Raise the guardian of the spirit beast, ”Lan Xiao hurriedly ordered. The life energy contained within this thing was extremely powerful, and if any life forms were to emerge from it, who knew how powerful it was. Although the probability of it happening was very slim, it did not mean that it was unprecedented.

On the surface of the trial table, a white protective cover was raised but the "cha cha" sound inside could be heard again.

The voice began to increase, and a small research team and other staff members crowded around with curiosity.

Other than Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng, there were a total of eight people in this scientific. There were also two team members tasked with collecting samples outside, two pilots, and two researchers. This is the standard allocation for scientific exploration teams.

At this moment, other than the pilot flying the plane, the others gathered to look at the egg in front of them curiously.

Cha cha, cha cha, ka cha!

Suddenly, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the egg.

"Is that coming out?" Nan Cheng instinctively hid behind Lan Xiao. The others took a step back as well.

"Don't be afraid. Even if it was an offensive and formidable living being by nature, it would not have such a powerful battle power when it had just been born. ”Lan Xiao took a few steps forward and a circle of spirit rings appeared from under his feet— two yellow, two purple, and a black one. There were a total of five spirit rings, and they represented the Spirit King's cultivation level. At his age, this was already very outstanding, and that was the main reason why he could be promoted so quickly.

Ka cha, ka cha …

A crisp sound echoed, and it began to become more intense.

Pop—

Eventually, a portion of the eggshell broke and the white creature came out.

Everyone stared nervously, and their gazes were all focused on that white thing.

That was…

In the next moment, everyone was stunned.

Nan Cheng peeked out from behind Lan Xiao and looked at the white object in a daze as he muttered, "That, that ... Why does it look like a hand?"

Yeah, it's fair, swollen, and small. Although it is clenched into a fist, it really looks like a human baby's small — hand.

But in the next moment, the little hand moved down slightly, grabbed the egg shell and easily broke it. "Ka cha" and a piece of egg shell broke, then returned to the egg shell.

Cha cha, cha cha, cha.

Ka cha, ka cha, ka cha!

The voice continued but in just a few moments, the tiny hand reached out again and tore off a piece of egg shell, then another piece.

"Could it be her .." Lan Xiao stepped forward quickly and looked to the protective cover.

At this moment, the eggshell still covered most of the inside, and he could only roughly see there was a white creature inside. The voice of "ka cha, ka cha" continues.

"Life energy is reduced substantially – only has a spirit beast level of 10,000 years now," Nan Cheng said suddenly.

"Eh?" Lan Xiao looked at him in surprise. Nan Cheng's eyes were still fixed on the screen as he said, "It's still coming down and with a faster speed now."

Ka cha's!

The little hand reached out and tore off another piece.

Ka cha, ka cha, ka cha!

"There is only the life energy of a 1000-year-old savage beast right now." Nan Cheng's tone of voice urged.

Lan Xiao took a deep breath and said firmly, "Open the protective cover."

He could only take a closer look with the protective cap open.

The protective cap is opened, exposing the eggs inside. No energy appeared. Along with that small hand breaking the egg shell, its original shape was finally revealed.

How would I describe it?

At a glance, Lan Xiao was instantly attracted to her appearance. He was very sure that he had never seen such a handsome baby, and yes, it was a human baby – human babies born from eggs.
