The stone egg that had rolled into the bushes with the gold shone with rings of scarlet light, brightening and dimming like it was breathing.
The Bone Eating shamans noticed this too. The strongest shaman leader had just finished off the pitiful young man's last finger. His sturdy body swelled up even further. He licked the blood on his face as he made his way over.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened in the stone egg, like rubies.
After a lengthy slumber, Li Qingshan's consciousness slowly returned. He blinked his eyes and sensed the existence of his limbs, but they were trapped by a tough shell. He stretched his body, wanting to break out of the shell.
The shaman leader picked up the stone egg and sensed that it was boiling hot, trembling gently. He turned around and asked Gold earrings hoarsely, "What's this?"
Gold earrings shook his head numbly.
The shaman leader squeezed hard, but the stone egg did not budge at all. It flickered quietly. He could not help but let out a "hmm?" With his strength, he could even crush steel, let alone rock.
He saw a large rock on the side of the road in the distance, so he went over and casually dug a hole in it. He placed the stone egg in there and smashed down with his fist.
Boom! The rock shattered to pieces, but the stone egg remained unscathed.
Crack! However, a crack appeared on the surface of the stone egg, shining with red light. The crack spread and covered the entire surface before long.
Rumble! The thick stone shell finally fell off. The phoenix's embryo was as red as the setting sun. Its surface was covered in beautiful patterns that seemed like burning flames. Even the most beautiful piece of art in the world could not compare to it.
Gold earrings widened his eyes. He never thought the stone egg he had exchanged a jar of salt for would actually be hiding something like this. If he had cracked open the shell a long time ago and revealed this appearance, it would probably be worth even more than the patterned bag. He smiled in a self-deprecating manner. It had already come to this. Who cares if it's worth anything or not!
The Bone Eating shamans were surprised. They cleaned up the food in their hands in a hurry and gathered over. They studied the phoenix's embryo, but they were unable to see the situation inside.
However, Li Qingshan saw the vicious faces through the shell. He could not help but feel rather confused. "Weren't I in the volcano? Why am I here? Don't tell me the volcano erupted and washed me out? Oh no, it's the Asura Field! All my belongings are in there! "
The leader shaman licked his fangs. Greed filled his eyes. The Bone Eating tribe devoured humans to strengthen themselves, so they were extremely sensitive to life force. The life force in the egg was basically greater than a thousand or even ten thousand people. If he ate it, he could probably directly become the chieftain when he returned to the tribe.
The other Bone Eating shamans obviously sensed it too. The greed in their eyes was the same. A skinny, little shaman was unable to resist the temptation, extending his hand in an attempt to touch the egg. He was sent flying by the shaman leader with a slap, landing on the ground. His fate was unknown. The shamans immediately stopped acting up, but their eyes remained glued to the phoenix's embryo.
Li Qingshan could clearly see the greedy eyes in front of him. He clenched his hands and feet, but he felt that his body was unprecedentedly tender and weak. The Monster Dan was still intact, but all the Monster Aura had been exhausted and could not be used. He couldn't even use his innate divine abilities.
The so-called "Nirvana Rebirth" was obviously not about becoming stronger in a short period of time. Instead, it required a process of growth and maturity. He also wanted to make use of this process to adjust the various powers in his body.
Right now, he was in his weakest state!
After so much difficulty, I managed to escape from the Dragon King Of The Sea's pursuit. If I die to these pieces of trash, that would be a joke!
Li Qingshan could tell the strength of these Bone Eating shamans with a single glance. As humans, they could not reach the sixth layer, and as daemons, they could not condense a daemon core. Although their bodies were tough, they were at the level of Iron Plate corpses at most.
But right now, he could not even deal with a regular zombie, let alone Iron Plate corpses. He sensed the scarlet, scorching liquid flowing through his body, which made him purse his lips and smile.
The phoenix's embryo suddenly shone brightly. The flame patterns on its surface danced like real flames.
The Bone Eating shamans suddenly sensed danger. As they gradually broke away from the boundaries of humans, their senses became even sharper, but the greed of humans made them hesitate. They were reluctant to leave.
Boom!
The phoenix's embryo shattered loudly, and violent, scarlet flames surged out violently, swallowing the Bone Eating shamans and reducing them to ashes amidst their howls. The liquid in the phoenix's embryo was a tangible product that Li Qingshan had condensed from the fire of the earth, so the power it contained went without saying. It was not something a few shamans could withstand with their bodies.
When all the shamans gathered around the phoenix's embryo, Gold earrings moved silently. The Bone Eating shamans did not believe he had the right to escape, so they did not restrain him.
Suddenly, there was a scarlet flash. He reacted quickly, kicking off with his legs and lunging into the distance. He felt a wave of heat rush over from behind, and he slammed into a tree viciously. His vision darkened, and he almost fainted. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue and forcefully woke himself up. He felt his back burn with pain.
It was all thanks to the circle of shamans blocking most of the force of the explosion, allowing him to survive.
Gold earrings was about to take off when he glanced back and saw the young shaman who had been sent flying earlier standing a few steps away. He immediately stiffened up and became immobilised. This was not cowardice. He had faced so many life-threatening dangers in his life that he could still smile even if a blade was pressed to his neck. However, he could not resist this sense of fear.
It was said that many animals would lose the power to resist when they faced their natural enemies. No matter how vicious a dog was, it would still tremble with its tail between its legs before a dog butcher. These Bone Eating shamans were the natural enemies of humans, true butchers of humans. They were only "small" compared to their own kind. Killing him was still as easy as raising a hand.
Sigh, I've killed these animals. You can say I've gotten my revenge. The jar of salt was worth it!
However, the shaman did not even glance at Gold earrings. A food he could eat at any time was not worth his attention. He focused on the centre of the explosion, arching his body and letting out a threatening growl.
"Who can survive such a violent explosion!?"
Gold earrings could not help but follow the shaman's gaze. The surrounding trees and grass that had been set alight flickered with fire, but the centre of the explosion seemed rather gloomy. All of the flammable vegetation had been reduced to ashes instantly. Vaguely, he made out a very small figure.
Don't tell me a monster really did emerge from the egg! Heh, that works too. I'll kill all of these man-eating bastards. Even if I'm killed by a monster, it's better than dying to their hands. Huh? That's …
Gold earrings squinted his eyes before snapping them open again. The Mist province had never lacked mysterious and strange legends, but everything he had experienced tonight was even stranger than the legends.
What emerged from the egg was not a monster, but a baby!
He seemed like he had just been born. He was only around a foot tall, and his skin was white and rosy, like he was carved from jade. He seemed extremely young, but his scarlet eyes shone with a soul-stirring light.
"There's actually another one! How troublesome!"
Li Qingshan murmured. He discovered his voice was almost like an infant's murmur. With his current strength, he was still not the Bone Eating shaman's opponent. The danger had not been resolved yet.
However, just how many dangers had he been through and how many powerful enemies had he faced? He did not care too much about an opponent like that. Under the Bone Eating shaman's threatening growl, he glanced over with his scarlet eyes indifferently.
All of the Bone Eating shaman's hairs stood on end. He leapt backwards, pacing around on all fours. He was afraid to make eye contact with the scarlet eyes, but he refused to leave just like this. The heavy aura of life drew him in.
Li Qingshan made his way over to the Bone Eating shaman. His strides were very small, but he walked with ease and composure, without the slightest fear or hesitation. He passed through the flames in the grass, and the flames wrapped around him, coiling around him obediently.
The Bone Eating shaman staggered backwards. As Li Qingshan advanced, clusters of flames surged over, suddenly turning into a pair of wings of fire and lunging towards the Bone Eating shaman.
The flames whistled and whistled like a phoenix spreading its wings.
Actually, this was just a bluff. Regular flames were unable to deal much damage to a Bone Eating shaman with a tough body.
The Bone Eating shaman let out a wail and fled in a hurry, vanishing into the jungle in the blink of an eye.
Don't tell me this infant is a fire devourer? It's said that fire devourers are born from fire, but I've never heard of them turning into eggs. And, it's said that most fire devourers live in the south? Who cares? If the fire devourer pursues the shaman, I'll flee immediately. I didn't think I'd actually make it out alive this time. That's unbelievable!
Having survived a desperate situation, Gold earrings thought happily, but he saw that the "fire devourer" did not pursue the fleeing Bone Eating shaman. Instead, he looked at him and asked with a tender voice, "What's your name?"
Gold earrings almost fell into a state of numbness again. He wanted to act like he had heard and seen nothing.
The Bone Eating shaman who fled through the jungle saw how Li Qingshan did not pursue him, so he stopped hesitantly. Suddenly, he heard a shrill, despairing shriek, and he immediately fled into the distance without even looking back. Clearly, the fire devourer had already begun eating. He did not want to become food, so he better report everything here to the chief!
Gold earrings shrieked out, swatting away the flames on his hand desperately.
Li Qingshan leapt in fright. He thought, It's just been burned by fire. Do you really have to cry out like a pig being slaughtered?
The fear in Gold earrings' heart had already been suppressed to the limit. With the slightest provocation, it erupted like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle.
"Stop howling! I'm asking you a question!" Li Qingshan said. His voice was blurry and tender, but the might it contained was not something Gold earrings could contend with. This was a bearing that could only be developed after experiencing slaughter and grasping life and death.
Gold earrings discovered that his hand had only become bright red from the heat. He no longer dared to look down on Li Qingshan. He prostrated on the ground and trembled. "I- I'm Goldie A 'bao!"
"That's a good name!" Li Qingshan praised without any sincerity. He asked, "Do you want to live or die?"
Goldie A 'bao's desire to live suddenly erupted. He raised his head. "I obviously want to live!"
Li Qingshan smiled. "Very good! I hate people who don't want to live the most! "
