“Could it really be a dead egg?” Little Lingling asked, somewhat puzzled.
Had she seen it wrong?
“Master, those Demon Beasts outside don’t know what kind of egg it is either!
They gathered here to guard it half a year ago, having felt the call of the Beast God from within.
So far, no human has come…” Yun Xia’s voice rose in Mo Jiuli’s mind.
When Mo Jiuli entered, she left Yun Xia outside to monitor the surroundings.
For some reason, she had a bad premonition, hoping it was just her overthinking…
“Mom, should we go out?” Little Lingling asked, looking at Mo Jiuli.
“Let’s look around here for now and then decide!
Since we’ve come all the way here, we can’t leave empty-handed, right!
Besides, Yun Xia said those guys outside have been guarding for more than half a year!
I think this egg might not be dead, otherwise why would those Divine Beasts keep guarding it…” Mo Jiuli thought and said.
“Alright, but there are a few Demon Beasts outside with very strong Spiritual Forces, so for safety’s sake, Mom, it’s better not to leave the Spiritual Platform!
I’ll take Mom around to look, as long as we’re on the Spiritual Platform, no one can detect Mom’s…” Little Lingling said.
“Okay, I got it!” Mo Jiuli nodded.
Thus, Little Lingling controlled the Spiritual Platform, beginning to drift leisurely around the Mountain Cave where the Giant Egg was…
“Yun Xia, ask the plants around why those Divine Beasts have not transformed?
Is it because they can’t?
Or because they don’t like to?” Mo Jiuli sat on the Spiritual Platform, looked around, and suddenly thought of something, speaking to Yun Xia in her mind.
“Yes, Master!” Yun Xia responded, then began to silently search for the information she wanted among the surrounding plants.
Yun Xia remained on the Big Tree where Mo Jiuli and her had stopped earlier, disguised as a nearly invisible green branch growing on the tree.
Perhaps because of Yun Xia’s presence, the Big Tree trembled occasionally.
One of the Golden Giant Pythons coiled on the tree asked in confusion, “Don’t you feel the tree shaking?”
“Maybe it’s just cold…” The other Golden Giant Python replied casually, aware of the shaking itself.
But having found nothing unusual, and glancing at the pitch-dark sky, it could only assume that with nightfall, the tree had gotten cold…
If the tree could speak, it would definitely say it wasn’t cold, it was frightened!
It was not a spirit tree, just an ordinary plant, and facing someone like Yun Xia, the King among plants, part of the Royal Family, it naturally couldn’t resist and just trembled, even without Yun Xia doing anything…
It was a deep-seated fear and submission that seeped into its marrow, impossible to resist, just like the White Tiger facing Zi Ye!
In the Cave, Mo Jiuli sat on Lingling’s Spiritual Platform, touring the hollow Mountain slowly.
She couldn’t help but marvel at the thought of who could have hollowed out the Mountain core and placed a Giant Egg inside, then sealed it completely…
If it weren’t for Lingling, she truly couldn’t imagine that inside a mountain would be such a sight!
She’d seen sky inside mountain walls before, where there was just one Entrance to the mountain and it was empty inside, with the sky visible overhead, similar to a Volcanic Cave…
However, she had never seen a Mountain Cave like this before, and Mo Jiuli noticed, perhaps because she was on Lingling’s Spiritual Platform, that in this fully enclosed Mountain Cave, she didn’t feel any discomfort at all, nor did she feel suffocated or short of oxygen, which was really strange…
