'Reincarnated Beasts' usually evolved from non-named monsters. If an unhatched parasite egg was placed on another named monster, it would instead be devoured by the Parasitic Soul Worm of the named monster itself, turning it into the most primitive of nutrients. It would not retain any of its abilities.
Dean looked at the parasite egg, his eyes flashing slightly. Although it was an unhatched parasite egg, it was, after all, a legendary monster's Parasitic Soul Worm. Its value was still amazing. If exchanged in the market, it was worth more than ten rare Parasitic Soul Worms.
However, for Dean, this thing made him a little confused. If he wanted to hatch it, he needed to choose a suitable new host and raise it carefully. It would take at least a few months for the parasite egg to hatch in the new host, during which he must take good care of it.
This kind of thing was not a problem for a big family like the Dragon Family. They had a lot of manpower and could assign special personnel to take care of it.
But Dean could only fight alone. If he let Sergei take care of it, it was tantamount to seducing people to commit a crime. After all, it was the legendary Parasitic Soul Worm. Once the other side was tempted, they would not only take the parasite away, but also take the initiative to frame him for fear of revenge.
After experiencing so many things, Dean had a deeper understanding of people's hearts. The so-called loyalty was just a process of fighting with desire. Once the fight failed, it was betrayal.
"Legendary Parasitic Soul Worm... I don't know if it is too extravagant to use it as nourishment?" Dean muttered to himself with a different kind of emotion. Perhaps because he was a deified legendary magic mark, he didn't look at the legendary magic mark as excited and envious as before. But he knew that if this thing was left in the giant wall, it would most likely cause countless high-level people to fight for it.
If it was used as nourishment for the magic mark, it would be a reckless waste of natural resources. It was equivalent to using gold to cast bricks to build a house.
He struggled for a while, but finally shook his head and resisted the temptation in his heart. Although he could bring it back to the giant wall to sell or keep it for his trusted confidants to maximize the value of this thing in the future, but right now, survival was a problem, and he might die in the next moment. It was too far away to think about it.
After making up his mind, Dean no longer thought about it. He sealed the parasite egg in a bottle and prepared to find a safe place to absorb it.
After doing this, he looked around and gave up the idea of looking for another Shadow Hunter that might be alive. He walked to an egg, picked it up, and sent it to the cave above.
After putting it down, he returned to the nest and immediately saw that there was an oval-shaped pit under the eggs that had been moved away.
Dean frowned and glanced at the nest. "A total of … 37 eggs."
After counting the number of eggs, he pondered. It was impossible to report all of these Shadow Hunter eggs to the Dragon Clan. After all, they were the eggs of legendary monsters. Although it was a problem whether they could hatch out of the nest environment, if they were lucky enough to hatch one or two, it was equivalent to having one or two legendary magic marks. Such a temptation was worth the risk.
"It doesn't matter if I hide it or not, the Dragon Clan will suspect me. If I don't hide it, they will think that I am hiding it." Dean said to himself, "In other words, it doesn't matter if I hide or not. The important thing is not to touch their bottom line."
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an estimate. He bent down and continued to pick up the eggs, sending them to the cave above.
After carrying eight eggs in a row, Dean stopped and returned to the nest. He smoothed the egg pit on the ground and smeared the sticky liquid on the ground on top of the egg pit, making it look the same as the surroundings.
After disguising the scene, Dean glanced at the corpse of the Shadow Hunter. After thinking for a moment, he didn't take it away. If he left it here, it might give the Dragon Clan a feeling that there was a fight here. In that case, even if they noticed that the eggs might be missing, he would have one more reason to clear his name.
Whoosh!
He flew up the hole and came to the cave outside. Looking at the eight white eggs on the ground, he clamped them under his armpit. Carrying four at the same time was already his limit, so he could only carry them twice.
"I have to find a secret place to hide them. I don't know when these things will hatch. If they hatch when I leave, my efforts will be in vain." Dean frowned slightly. This was very possible. Even if he immediately returned to the Dragon Clan and reported this matter, it would take two months before he could come to the Wasteland for the second mission.
If the second mission was in another Wasteland, he could only find an opportunity to sneak here.
Thinking of these problems, he felt it was a bit tricky. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to find a more secure place to hide these eggs separately. He only hoped that after these Shadow Hunters hatched individually, their growth speed wouldn't be that fast.
Whoosh!
He flew out of the cave with four eggs. When he passed through the cave entrance, he saw Martin's corpse. His heart suddenly moved, and he immediately changed direction, flying toward the previous escape route.
After a while, he came to the place where Ruby died and rummaged around in the weeds.
Soon, he found Ruby's backpack under the cover of a few fallen leaves. He immediately opened it and saw that in addition to some mountaineering tools, there were several bottles and jars. Some were healing powders that could stop bleeding in time, and some were medicinal powders that could inhibit the spread of toxins. In addition, three of the bottles had three strange-looking worms. When the backpack was opened, the three worms in the bottles were stimulated by the light and slowly twisted.
Dean was relieved when he finally found them. These three Parasitic Soul Worms were Corpse Pecker, Blood Sender, and Wind Listener's Parasitic Soul Worms.
"Wind Listener's Parasitic Soul Worm is this time's mission item. I'll keep it for the time being. The other two can be eaten." Dean thought in his heart. He took out the bottles of the three Parasitic Soul Worms and put them in his backpack along with the rest of the medicinal powders. Then he picked up four white eggs and flew high into the sky, looking for a suitable place to hide the Shadow Hunter's eggs.
After flying at high altitude for about half an hour, Dean had almost explored more than half of the ruined city, but he still didn't find the desired hiding place. The city was too dilapidated. Although the basement under the building was hidden, the Dragon Guards who came out to perform missions liked to choose such a basement to live at night to avoid monsters.
Moreover, the concrete above the basement was already on the verge of collapse and couldn't lock the hatched Shadow Hunter's eggs.
Dean frowned and searched around. Suddenly, at the end of his field of vision, he saw a figure staggering on a desolate and broken street. It was Aisha, who had just left not long ago.
At this moment, her hair was a bit messy, and her exquisite armor was stained with a lot of dust and blood. It was somewhat damaged. Judging from her walking posture, it seemed that she was seriously injured and couldn't even walk normally.
