Not long after, Luo Yuan came back with the giant lizard.
Under Luo Yuan's command, the giant lizard began to dig the hole like crazy. A large amount of mud was thrown back, and the hole that had been sealed by the giant turtle was dug again.
Even so, it was already two hours later when they saw the giant egg. Luo Yuan was worried that the giant lizard would eat it like the Heaven's Pillar Tree, so he quickly asked it to stay far away.
Luo Yuan walked along the muddy wall to the bottom of the hole. The giant lizard's movements were obviously not that meticulous. Only the top half of the giant egg was exposed, and most of it was still covered in mud. When Luo Yuan was done with the rest of the work, the giant egg was completely exposed.
It was an oval egg about two meters tall and one meter wide, and that did not include the layer of colorless, transparent gel on its surface that was more than half a meter thick. Compared to ordinary eggs, its surface had complicated patterns that gave it a mysterious vibe.
The gel on the surface looked very smooth, but it felt soft and elastic like rubber. Luo Yuan tried to cut it with his Zhanmadao, but he could not leave a single mark on the surface. The more strength he exerted, the stronger the rebound. Even with his Will, it was difficult to cut it.
It was no wonder that the sea turtle had left the egg here without any worries. Unless its strength had reached the light green level or above, most creatures would not be able to do anything to it with just this layer of gelatin. Light green level creatures were rare even in the whole Jiangnan Province. Compared to the fierce competition in the ocean, land was undoubtedly the best place for marine life to reproduce.
Luo Yuan did not break it on the spot. The egg was very heavy, about 1.5 tons. Even if the gel was removed, it would still be no less than 1 ton. With his 13-point Strength, he could move it, but it was far from enough to push it from the bottom of the hole to the surface, especially in a place full of mud where he could not use his strength. Moreover, there were still about seven to eight kilometers to the fortification. The road was bumpy, and it would take him at least seven to eight hours to reach the destination if he relied on his own strength.
With the layer of gel, he did not have to worry about the giant lizard stealing the egg. Even if it bit the egg, it would not be able to bite it. Unless he had nothing better to do, he would not waste his labor.
The poor giant lizard became the labor again. It bit the giant egg and rushed back.
When Luo Yuan returned to the fortification, it was already dawn. He had the giant lizard put down the giant egg, and then he chased it to the side.
When Luo Yuan came back, he had already told everyone what had happened. Hearing that the giant beast was here to lay eggs, and that it would soon move the giant eggs over, how could they still sleep? At this moment, they heard the commotion below and ran out one after another.
Everyone walked outside, and when they saw the huge egg, everyone was shocked.
"This is the egg? It's so big! It's taller than all of us!" Huang Jiahui exclaimed.
"I don't think a dinosaur egg is this big." Huo Dong said in shock. He curiously touched the surface of the gel and was surprised. "Why is it still cold?"
Therefore, everyone touched it for a while, and all of them were discussing it with excitement. Even Zhao Yali, who had a guilty conscience, couldn't help but be curious, and carefully touched it a few times.
Wang Shishi's eyes lit up. She had long been envious of Luo Yuan for having a giant lizard as a pet. Now that he had an egg, she quickly pulled the corner of his shirt and said, "Brother Luo, can you give this egg to me?"
Other than Zhao Yali, who did not care because she had Lao Huang, everyone else's smile faded. This was a mutated beast's egg, and a terrifyingly strong one at that. Everyone knew what it meant. Once it hatched, it would be almost invincible during the apocalypse.
"You don't have to think about it. This egg is too big. No one knows when it will hatch. Even if it hatches, it might not even be tamed. It's too dangerous to bring it along." Luo Yuan thought for a while and shook his head.
Mutated beasts were not creatures that could be easily tamed. These mutated beasts were naturally violent. Although the giant lizard was as tame as a kitten now, that was because of the painful lesson it had learned last time. If its strength evolved again, it might rebel again. As for Lao Huang, it was a special case. Its owner had influenced it too much before the apocalypse. Besides, dogs were naturally loyal and would not rebel easily. Even if it had mutated, that instinct had been passed down well.
If it was an ordinary creature, Luo Yuan would have brought it along, as long as he was careful. However, this egg was too scary. When it hatched, it would probably be a young green level creature.
"Are we just going to eat it as food?" Huang Jiahui said in surprise. "Isn't that too wasteful?"
"Wasteful? It's not wasteful at all. This is the egg of a level six creature. If I'm not wrong, eating it should be very beneficial for all of you, "Luo Yuan said in a low voice. Even a blue level creature could improve one's physical fitness, let alone a green level one. Luo Yuan guessed that the flesh and blood of a green level creature could at least increase some of his attributes to 12 points.
"Level six!" Everyone took a deep breath. To them, level three was already a nightmare. The giant lizard was only level four, so they could not imagine what a level six creature would be like.
In fact, its function was more than that. Other than what Luo Yuan had mentioned earlier, the gelatinous substance on its surface and the eggshell were both precious materials. The gelatinous substance was an extremely elastic substance, which was the best material for bulletproof vests. Even if it did not have any additional abilities, its elasticity alone could provide a great cushioning effect during an attack, greatly reducing injuries.
After the snake scale bulletproof vest had been broken, Luo Yuan's defensive ability had been greatly reduced. If it had not been for that, he would not have been so badly injured during the last beast horde.
There were a few sets of bulletproof vests in the arsenal, and there was no shortage of synthetic materials. They could be used to make new bulletproof vests.
As for the eggshell, it could be used to synthesize weapons. His Zhanmadao had already merged with the bark of the Heaven's Pillar Tree, so it could not be synthesized with the same level of material. Life absorption was too important, so Luo Yuan would not change it unless he had no other choice.
But he could synthesize it with someone else, such as Wang Shishi's flying shuttle and some bullets.
Thinking of the sniper rifle in the arsenal, Luo Yuan was suddenly looking forward to using a heavy sniper rifle to shoot a green level bullet. He wondered how powerful it would be.
Next, Luo Yuan condensed his Will into a knife and carefully cut the gelatinous substance on the surface of the giant egg. As soon as he made a small cut, an oppressive aura filled the air. The people who were still surrounding the egg felt suffocated and retreated far away. Their faces were pale.
When the gelatinous substance had completely fallen off the giant egg, its aura was completely released. As a green level creature, even if it was just an egg, the aura it emitted was far stronger than that of the giant lizard.
Even Luo Yuan felt his heart palpitate, as if there was a huge rock pressing on his heart.
The aura was almost exactly the same as that of the giant tortoise, but it was much weaker.
The giant lizard's lightbulb-like eyes were filled with irritation and a trace of desire. It stared unblinkingly at the giant egg. The instinct in its bloodline had already sensed that as long as it ate this egg, it would be greatly beneficial to it. As time passed, its eyes gradually turned red, and saliva continuously dripped from its mouth.
Luo Yuan suddenly glanced at it and realized that it was showing signs of losing control. Its body was also eager to try.
His heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the giant egg was too tempting for it. It had gradually exceeded its rationality. He could not let it stay there any longer.
He quickly scolded loudly. Hearing Luo Yuan's voice, the giant lizard regained some of its rationality. It shook its huge head and snorted in annoyance. It retreated step by step unwillingly.
After it retreated far away, Luo Yuan pushed the giant egg into the iron gate of the fortification, moved the gelatinous substance inside, and closed the iron gate tightly. After a while, the giant lizard's irritated growl and a series of loud noises came from outside. A few gravel splashed on the iron gate, making a tinkling sound.
He opened the attributes panel with a gloomy expression and realized that the giant lizard's loyalty had dropped from its peak of 80 to 70.
"Little Yuan, what's wrong with the giant lizard?" Zhao Yali asked anxiously.
The giant lizard was too violent. In comparison, Lao Huang was much more docile. It had never behaved like this in front of her.
Luo Yuan's face was as calm as still water. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It'll be fine after a while."
Everyone was even more nervous when he said it. Anyone could see that Luo Yuan was comforting them. Moreover, the giant lizard had a history.
Luo Yuan kept staring at the attributes panel. When he realized that the loyalty had not changed after 68, he let out a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized that he had no way to fight back against the giant lizard that had lost its rationality. Unknowingly, the giant lizard's strength had surpassed his by a lot. Its 15 points of Dexterity could easily crush him. It seemed that he had to slow down the giant lizard's leveling up. Otherwise, if it betrayed him, he would have no way to fight back.
