Chapter 227: The Golden Egg That Even the Brats Can’t Break
“Little Brother, Little Brother, I found an egg.”
After leaving the Demon Jiao’s lair, Chu Xin did not wait for the sixteen Battle Bodies. Instead, she returned directly to the God Coffin, tossed the golden egg down, and excitedly said, “Little Brother, let’s cook this golden egg and eat it. It must be delicious.”
“Wow! What a big egg.”
Chu Chen, who was stir-frying monster beast meat, turned his head to look. He let out a cry of delight, grabbed his Saint Weapon-grade spatula, and circled the golden egg twice. His big, round eyes were full of wonder. He clicked his tongue in amazement, “I’ve never seen such a big egg before. I wonder what kind of egg it is.”
Chu Xin took a bite of grilled meat and said, “I found it in the depths of the Demon Jiao’s lair. There were many Demon Jiao Stones around it, so it must be an egg laid by the Demon Jiao.”
“An egg laid by the Demon Jiao?”
Chu Chen was stunned. He turned to look at Chu Xin and asked in confusion, “That’s not right, Big Sister. I remember that the Demon Jiao is male, right? Can a male Demon Jiao lay eggs? The red rooster in our village only chases us and pecks at us. Why doesn’t it lay eggs?”
“This, I don’t know either.”
Chu Xin shook her head. She was also puzzled by this question.
“And,”
Chu Chen looked at the golden egg, scratched his bun hairstyle, and muttered, “The Demon Jiao is all black. Can it lay a golden egg?”
Chu Xin also scratched her head. Suddenly, she saw the Lei Zhou cultivator shivering nearby and asked in confusion, “Uncle, are you cold?”
Chu Chen also turned his head to look. His big, round eyes were also full of puzzlement. How could anyone feel cold in the God Coffin’s space?
The Lei Zhou cultivator glanced at the two of them, then turned to look at the golden egg. He stammered, “Little friends, don’t you feel the powerful pressure emanating from the golden egg, a pressure that comes from the depths of the soul?”
“Pressure?”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen turned to look at the golden egg. They even closed their eyes and carefully sensed it. Then, they shook their heads in unison, “No.”
The Lei Zhou cultivator’s lips moved. He kept retreating until he was more than ten yards away before he felt better. He said in horror, “Little friends, this is definitely not a Demon Jiao egg. As you said, that Demon Jiao is male and cannot lay eggs. Moreover, the eggs of the Demon Jiao race are all black and not this big. This egg was probably picked up or stolen by the Demon Jiao from somewhere.”
“I see.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen were suddenly enlightened.
“Uncle, then do you know what kind of egg it is?” Chu Chen asked curiously.
The Lei Zhou cultivator shook his head and said, “I don’t know. But judging from this pressure, it’s definitely not an egg of an ordinary demon beast. It’s even more powerful than the Demon Jiao race.”
“Forget it, whatever.”
Chu Xin took a bite of the grilled meat and waved her oily little hand. She urged impatiently, “Who cares what kind of egg it is? Let’s cook it and eat it first. Little Brother, crack the egg open.”
“Eat it?”
The Lei Zhou cultivator’s mouth twitched. He turned to look at the two-headed Fire Dragon Xi sleeping not far away and reminded them, “Little friends, don’t you want to try to hatch it? This way, you can get another powerful pet beast. If this golden egg can be hatched, its talent and potential will definitely be stronger than that Fire Xi.”
“Hatch it? How do we hatch it? Like hatching a chick?” Chu Chen asked, eager to try.
“Uh!”
The Lei Zhou cultivator was suddenly speechless. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that.”
“We’re not hens. What’s the point of hatching chicks? It’s best to just cook it and eat it.” Chu Xin had no interest in hatching the golden egg. She just wanted to eat the egg now. At the thought of the delicious egg, she couldn’t help but drool.
“Okay, let’s cook it then.”
Chu Chen nodded heavily. Since his Big Sister wanted to eat it, then they would cook it.
He clenched his fist and punched the golden egg.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the golden egg vibrated, and golden light swirled around it. A powerful force of recoil surged out, sending Chu Chen flying.
◈◈◈
“Huh?”
Chu Chen was a little surprised. Although he didn’t use his full strength in that punch, it was still not something ordinary. He didn’t expect the golden egg to be so hard.
“Again!”
He muttered in a low voice, then clenched his fist again and punched out fiercely. Golden runes flowed on his fist.
Boom!
Another loud bang resounded. This time, not only did the golden egg vibrate, but even the God Coffin’s space shook.
Golden light bloomed on the golden egg, blocking Chu Chen’s fist. At the same time, an even stronger force of recoil rebounded from his fist, pushing him back again.
“So hard.”
Chu Chen was full of amazement. He was born with divine strength, and with the addition of the power of the Divine Marks, even a Martial Saint would find it difficult to withstand his punch head-on. He didn’t expect that he couldn’t break this golden egg.
“Let me try.”
Seeing this, Chu Xin put down the grilled meat in her hand, clenched her small fist, gathered the power of the Divine Marks, and punched out fiercely.
With a loud bang, the God Coffin’s space shook violently, but the golden egg was still intact.
“I don’t believe it. I have to break you open today.”
Chu Xin’s temper flared up. She directly took out her Emperor Weapon, the Heaven Slaying Sword, activated the power of the Divine Marks, and slashed at the golden egg.
Clanging sounds rang out incessantly, and sparks flew everywhere, but the golden egg was still undamaged.
“Phew! I’m tired. Little Brother, you do it. I’ll eat some grilled meat first to fill my stomach, then I’ll come back.”
After a long while, Chu Xin stopped, took a few breaths, picked up the grilled meat she had placed aside, and began to eat it in large bites.
“Okay!”
Chu Chen also took out his Heaven Breaking Saber and took over for Chu Xin. He slashed at the golden egg one slash after another. The commotion was great, but it still didn’t cause any damage to the golden egg.
“This is really strange.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked at the golden egg, their big, round eyes filled with frustration. This was the first time they had encountered an egg they couldn’t break.
The Lei Zhou cultivator in the distance was also full of shock. These two brats, wielding Emperor Weapons, could kill even a Peak Martial Saint with a single slash or strike, yet they couldn’t do anything to this golden egg. What kind of race did this golden egg belong to? How could it be so hard?
Chu Xin ate her grilled meat and thought for a moment before saying, “Forget it, Little Brother. Make your big pot bigger and throw it in to cook. It should be easier to crack open once it’s cooked.”
“That makes sense.”
Chu Chen nodded his little head. With a flick of his chubby little hand and a shout of “Big,” the big pot suddenly expanded dozens of times. Then, with a wave of his hand, he put away all the food that had been used for experimenting with stir-frying. Only then did he pick up the golden egg and put it into the pot.
The Lei Zhou cultivator was stunned. This big pot could actually change size at will? This was not something an ordinary magical treasure could do. Was it necessary to refine a cooking pot to such a high level?
“Add some water.”
Chu Chen took out the dishwashing water and poured it into the pot until the entire golden egg was submerged.
As the flames burned, the “dishwashing water” in the pot boiled, but the golden egg seemed to be unaffected. Chu Chen poked it with his chubby little finger and found that the golden egg was still at room temperature, as if it wasn’t affected at all.
Chu Xin also noticed this problem. She tilted her little head, thought for a moment, and suggested, “Little Brother, why don’t we just roast it directly with fire?”
