THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.
27. MYSTERY EGGS.
The moment Ui Yong Jiang passed through the door, he could feel that they had already started chasing after him.
‘If it wasn't for that very moron, I would have managed to leave without them noticing. All right, I'll run first’
Ui Yong Jiang ran over while looking at the box he had in his hand, he couldn't help but hold back his curiosity about what it contained.
Because the size of the box somewhat inhibits the speed of its movement.
He decided to take out what was inside and throw away the box.
When he opened it, he was very surprised by what was inside.
Inside the box was placed an egg, its color was pitch black and slightly larger than the combination of two fists.
‘A egg’
Ui Yong Jiang was a little confused and his speed reduced substantially as he placed most of his focus on the egg.
But he quickly snapped and once again increased his speed.
‘I'll learn it later. But it seems like there is a trace of life in it, although it is faint, I can feel it’
He stored the eggs in his bag before exiting the palace.
A few seconds after he exited the palace, the pursuers also came out.
But Ui Yong Jiang was already nowhere to be found anymore.
Because there were many trees around the palace, so there was no way he could guess which way Ui Yong Jiang fled.
“She is very fast”
Even though he was a Wind Elementalist, he still could not catch up to the thief.
This could be attributed to the fact that the thief had started, and the distance from this palace to the trees was not too far away.
But he was sure the thief was also very fast, at least not slower than him.
Pursuing is pointless to the song, given the fact that the terrain is great for escape.
“Where is he?”
The others slowly followed the leader standing outside the castle looking in the direction that Ui Yong Jiang faced.
“Lost”
The leader said nonchalantly before returning inside the castle.
He was upset, that was for sure, but there was nothing that could be done with anger. But there was something he thought was strange.
When he saw the back of the thief, he felt a sense of familiarity. It seems like he's seen that person before.
‘Who is it?’
He was deep in thought as he walked into the castle. He had seen many people since entering the trial ground,
so it would be difficult for him to remember who it was from just looking at their backs.
“Damn it! After all our hard work, others are the ones who benefitted ”
A young man from the group said angrily.
The other group also felt frustrated, but they were glad the group from the kingdom was not the one who got the box.
“Now you all know how it feels, just in your case, you can't even fight”
A young man laughed out loud, happy to see the misfortune of the group from the Qilin empire.
“Who thought you all worked for someone?”
They kept mocking them because they couldn't have it, they were glad the group blocking them didn't get it either.
Under the arrogant gazes of the group, the group from the empire angrily returned to the castle.
Five minutes later…
Ui Yong Jiang jumped on top of a large tree and sat on a tree with an egg in his hand.
‘What's inside? Why are you still alive?’
He could sense a faint ancient aura emanating from this egg. How old are these eggs?
He doesn't know. According to what his teacher told him, this place was discovered nine hundred years ago.
This meant that the egg was at least nine hundred years old, it was a frightening number.
How powerful was the creature inside, until it remained alive even after so long?
‘Or, could it be a dragon?’
Ui Yong Jiang's imagination started to run wild. But unfortunately, there was no way for him to get an answer.
He thought maybe the egg would hatch after it was taken out of the box, but it didn't seem to be. He put the egg back in his bag before thinking about where to go next.
