The apprentice reluctantly fetched some food and left after putting it down.
Lin Jin was starving. He didn't mind that the food was cold. He called Xiao Huo over and had him use the Fire Spirit to heat up the soup in the pot. As for the rest, it was fine to eat them cold.
While he was at it, Lin Jin entered and appraised the remaining mutant eggs. He flipped through the evaluation reports Wang Ji and Gao Jiang had prepared and shook his head.
"What's written here?"
Lin Jin put the two reports back on the shelf.
Although these two beast appraisals were written with extravagant flourishes, the contents were truly unflattering. Lin Jin obviously had his reasons for saying this. Although their reports had roughly identified the type of pet beast in the mutant eggs, the information was vague. To put it bluntly, it was a play on words. They didn't even identify the pet beast's name, let alone its bloodline.
Not only was it undetermined, but the report even listed several possibilities. It said there was a sixty percent chance it was an insect-type pet beast and a forty percent chance it was a bird-type. They even listed a lot of 'evidence' to support this conjecture.
Anyway, even after reading it, Lin Jin didn't know what it was. He only had a general idea of what it was.
Compared to Lin Jin's highly detailed evaluation reports, these two reports were rather crude.
After some thought, Lin Jin wrote two more reports for these two mutant eggs. As for whether they would accept them or not, Lin Jin couldn't be bothered.
Unbeknownst to Lin Jin, while he was eating and writing his reports, changes were happening in the Museum of Deadly Beasts' strange visitation hall.
Among the three glowing wooden doors, the one marked number 5 was slowly pushed open.
Ten minutes earlier.
Jade Dragon Kingdom, Jade Dragon City. Inside the palace, seventh princess He Qing sat on the roof, her tiny feet dangling from the eaves as she gazed at the brightly lit Jade Dragon City beyond the palace walls with a look of yearning.
Next to her was her pet beast, the tetrawinged butterfly dragon.
As a daughter of the royal family, He Qing's status was incomparably noble. She never had to worry about food or clothing. Even her pet beast was carefully selected by a royal beast appraiser when she was young.
The tetrawinged butterfly dragon had wings similar to a butterfly, a four-clawed lizard body, and a hidden bloodline. It started off as a Rank 2 with great potential. The more precious a pet beast was, the more time it needed to be nurtured. It had to stay with its owner for a long time and share their spiritual energy. Only then could it continue to evolve.
According to the royal beast appraiser, the tetrawinged butterfly dragon would need at least another five years to evolve into Rank 3.
He Qing couldn't wait any longer. According to the royal family's requirements, descendants of the royal family had to set up their own residence and be independent. Their pet beasts must also be at least Rank 3.
"I really want to leave this palace and explore the outside world. I want to experience the wonders of this world." He Qing said, "I heard that there are many delicious snacks and all kinds of strange things happening outside. Xiao Die, what do you think?"
She turned to look at her pet beast. Her exquisite facial features were like the work of a master. Despite her young age, she was already a rare beauty.
Her pet beast couldn't speak so it didn't respond.
"What? You said you like staying in the palace?" He Qing started talking to herself. "What's so good about this run-down place? I've been here for more than a decade and I'm still not sick of it. If I could leave the palace, I'd definitely eat good food, travel the mountains and rivers, and experience the wonders of this world."
Under the eaves, a few royal guards looked helpless. It was obvious that this was not the first time the Seventh Princess had done something like this. A palace maid shouted from below, "Seventh Princess, it's very late. Come down quickly. Be careful not to slip."
"Tsk, I'm very familiar with this roof. How could I possibly slip?" The seventh princess wore a look of disdain. Suddenly, she saw a flash of light on her tetra-winged butterfly dragon. Almost at the same time, a crack appeared behind the tetra-winged butterfly dragon. In the blink of an eye, both her pet beast and Princess He Qing were sucked into it.
The entire process was silent. None of the guards or palace maids noticed anything.
The momentary feeling of weightlessness scared He Qing. Thankfully, she soon landed on the ground. In this place of endless darkness, a wooden door stood before her.
A wooden sign hung above the door with the words' Visitor Number Five 'engraved on it.
Even with her pet beast right beside her, she couldn't stop the fear from creeping up on her.
Other than that, there was also shock and confusion.
He Qing was so frightened that she started crying.
But after calming down a little, she mustered up her courage and had her pet beast approach her. She went up to remove the wooden sign and slowly pushed the door open.
Behind the door was a large hall.
Although it was equally eerie, it was still a house after all. There weren't any monsters that could come out of nowhere so He Qing quickly stepped inside.
The wooden door closed behind her.
"Is anyone here?" He Qing held her arms in front of her as her pet beast flew around her.
No one answered.
He looked around and exited the wooden door number five that he had entered from. There were a total of twenty wooden doors in the two rows of the hall, and each wooden door had a corresponding number on it.
After calming down, He Qing immediately realized that she had been kidnapped.
As a princess of the royal family, there must be many bad guys after her. Didn't the novels she secretly collected describe her like this?
At this thought, her calmed heart throbbed again.
"Xiao Die, the bad guys are coming. You have to protect me." Just as He Qing said that, there was a commotion at door number seven. The door was pushed open and a tall man dressed in black walked in.
He Qing immediately took a step back, her muscles tensed up and her expression vigilant.
The man's gaze was sharp. One glance at He Qing and the latter felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, unable to move. Even the tetrawinged butterfly dragon was trembling.
Perched on the man's shoulder was a crow.
The crow's eyes resembled two blood-red gems.
"What is this place?" The man in black asked. As for He Qian, in his eyes, she was extremely weak. Be it her body or her pet beast, she wasn't worth a mention at all.
Hence, it couldn't be this young girl who kidnapped him here.
Black Crow was a top assassin. Countless people had died in his hands. With his Rank 4 pet beast, Black Falcon, he could single-handedly topple and destroy some small countries.
This was the power of a Rank 4 pet beast. After all, some small countries didn't even have a Rank 4 pet beast.
The crow perched on his shoulder was his pet beast, Black Falcon.
Before he was dragged into the spatial rift by a terrifying force, Black Crow was exploring an ancient immortal's cave abode with his companions.
This was an immortal's cave abode from before the world's spirit energy dried up, so one could only imagine how valuable it was. The abode's interior was huge. Although some of the traps and mechanisms had lost their effectiveness due to the lack of spirit energy, it was still extremely dangerous. After spending several days, they only managed to explore a few stone chambers, probably not even one-tenth of the entire place.
He was resting when a rift suddenly appeared behind him and he was dragged in by an invisible force. This shocked Black Crow to the core. Even his Rank 4 pet beast couldn't withstand it. What kind of power was this?
Hence, he pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
Although he was afraid and confused, Black Crow was never one to fear danger. This was the key reason he was able to come this far. In the past, many enemies who were stronger than him had died in his hands.
"No matter who it is, I'll let them know the consequences of messing with me." Black Crow scanned his surroundings.
