Chapter 401: Chapter 400: Demon Beast
Thinking of the icy gaze within that giant egg, Wang Yan and the others immediately stood up, feeling a chill run down their spines.
Given Wang Yan’s cultivation level, he almost got frozen into an ice block inside that deep pit, yet this giant egg remained completely unaffected. This could only mean that this egg is far from ordinary.
This egg itself is extraordinary, so what it hatches into should be even more powerful. Who knows what kind of creature it might be.
Under the gaze of everyone, the shell of the giant egg began to fall off piece by piece, and the gaze from inside the egg grew sharper and sharper.
At this moment, aside from those two gazes, no one could clearly see what beast was inside the giant egg. Therefore, Wang Yan and the others stayed on high alert, ready to attack at any moment.
With a “click,” the last piece of shell fell off, revealing a giant head suddenly emerging from the giant egg.
The head was round, black, and furry, with two round little ears on top and two eyes like black orbs swirling around restlessly. The small black nose twitched, and it turned out to be a little black bear.
The little black bear extended its paws out of the giant egg, lying on the remaining half of the eggshell, lifting its round head, and looking at the people in front of it with swiveling eyes.
Everyone was extremely tense, expecting some terrifying monster to emerge from the egg. But upon seeing it, they realized it was just a seemingly harmless little black bear.
Beiming Xue’s tense face immediately relaxed, showing an expression of delight, about to step forward to pick up the little black bear.
After all, how could a girl as adorable as Beiming Xue resist such a cute little black bear?
Qin Tian quickly stepped forward, stopping Beiming Xue, and said, “Miss Xue’er, please wait a moment, this bear looks cute but could be extremely dangerous.”
Beiming Xue paused, looked at the little black bear, and said, “It doesn’t seem like it, it’s just so adorable.”
Qin Tian said, “I’ll try first and find out.”
Saying that, Qin Tian slowly approached the little black bear step by step.
The little black bear remained standing within the broken egg, watching Qin Tian approach without any reaction.
Even though the little black bear did not react, Qin Tian dared not relax. Just as he reached within half a meter of the little black bear, he suddenly extended his hand, moving as fast as lightning, trying to grab the little black bear’s ear.
Qin Tian thought it through—if the little black bear was not dangerous, it would surely be caught by him, and he could then offer it to Beiming Xue.
However, just as Qin Tian’s hand reached in front of the little black bear, a silhouette suddenly flew up, flew horizontally, and crashed against the office wall with a “thud” before bouncing off onto the ground.
Everyone hurriedly focused and saw the person on the ground was none other than Qin Tian.
Yet, no one saw how Qin Tian flew out.
Qin Tian flipped himself up from the ground and stood up, realizing he was uninjured, but even he didn’t know how he flew out.
Only Wang Yan’s face turned grim, revealing a serious expression.
Because only Wang Yan saw that just as Qin Tian reached to grab the little black bear, the little black bear swung its paw, smacking Qin Tian away.
Wang Yan stepped forward half a step, shielding everyone behind him, and said, “Everyone, be careful, this bear is too dangerous!”
Hearing Wang Yan’s words, everyone hesitated a bit. Even though they saw Qin Tian getting knocked away, no one dared believe that such a cute little black bear could have such immense attack power.
However, the little black bear also seemed angered by Qin Tian’s earlier actions. It opened its mouth, revealing fangs, and growled at everyone.
As the little black bear growled, a powerful aura surged from its body.
With this aura rising, Wang Yan’s face changed because he realized the aura from the little black bear was even stronger than his own.
If the little black bear went berserk, many people present would likely be injured, and even he might not be able to protect everyone safely.
But as the little black bear’s aura grew stronger, the entire room became incredibly oppressive. Except for Wang Yan, in a short time, the others would have no ability to leave.
Seeing this, Wang Yan gritted his teeth. At this moment, there was no choice but to fight hard—to win a chance for everyone else while battling the little black bear.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan waved his hand and said, “Everyone, leave quickly.”
However, just then, Wang Yan suddenly saw Beiming Xue, who had been standing behind him, suddenly walk past him toward the little black bear.
Wang Yan was shocked and hurried to stop Beiming Xue, but by this time Beiming Xue had already reached the little black bear and even squatted down.
“Xue’er, be careful, it’s dangerous.” Wang Yan shouted as he raced forward to rescue Beiming Xue.
But then, to Wang Yan’s surprise, Beiming Xue squatted down and slowly extended her hand toward the little black bear.
The little black bear, initially quite wary, kept glaring at Beiming Xue. But seeing the persistent smile on Beiming Xue’s face and the utterly non-threatening jade-like hand, the little black bear surprisingly let Beiming Xue place her hand on its head.
However, the little black bear remained very cautious about Beiming Xue’s hand on its head.
As Beiming Xue’s hand rested on the little black bear’s head, she slowly began stroking, brushing the fur on its head.
The little black bear, initially somewhat cautious, gradually lost its wariness as Beiming Xue continued to stroke its head. It even closed its eyes with great enjoyment.
Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately stopped, greatly surprised.
He didn’t expect the impending life-and-death confrontation to be so easily resolved by Beiming Xue.
Initially, when Beiming Xue stretched out her hand, she was very tense, careful with every step. But when she saw the little black bear closing its eyes in enjoyment, a surge of maternal instinct overflowed her heart. She extended both hands and picked up the little black bear, cradling it in her arms.
The little black bear, after being picked up by Beiming Xue, just slightly opened its eyes and glanced once.
As it nestled against Beiming Xue’s soft bosom, it comfortably closed its eyes and even snuggled closer, pressing its body tightly against Beiming Xue’s chest.
With its head resting on Beiming Xue’s soft chest, the little black bear surprisingly fell asleep comfortably.
Everyone was stunned silent at this, and Wang Yan couldn’t help but give a wry smile, saying, “Truly, a match for everything—Xue’er so easily subdued this Demon Beast.”
“Demon Beast? Is this really a Demon Beast?” Beiming Xue asked excitedly.
Wang Yan nodded, saying, “Indeed, and this Demon Beast’s cultivation level should be higher than mine. Just born and surpassing the Master Level, this Demon Beast is truly extraordinary.”
But Beiming Xue hadn’t even heard Wang Yan’s later words. Hugging the little black bear, she excitedly exclaimed, “Great, so it’s a Demon Beast. Right, I need to give it a name.”
