Chapter 3 Soft Stone Egg

  Ye Xuan took over the dagger and carefully came to the back of the stone wall, stretched out one hand, and made an "OK" gesture.

  Dongfang Yan looked at his gestures and shook her head in confusion.

  Ye Xuan expressed that he was quite speechless, it seemed that communicating with the people here was also an art. Helplessly, he pointed to the cave with his hand, indicating that she could act now.

  Only then did Eastern Beauty draw out her treasured sword, her body like an arrow off the string, tearing through the surrounding air and transforming into a shadow that charged into the cave.

  Dongfang Yan rushed in and after a while, a loud "howl" came from the cave. When they looked again, Dongfang Yan's body quickly flew out of the cave, fleeing in the direction she had come from.

  A creature over 2 meters long, with a slender body, short limbs, and triangular ears, emerged from the cave. Its entire body was a deep purple-black color, with black flames dancing across its skin. Its eyes had turned blood-red, as if it had been thoroughly enraged by Dongfang Yan's two provocations. With a loud roar, the creature charged in the direction that Dongfang Yan had fled.

  Ye Xuan saw this scene and thought to himself that he had never seen such a big blood-toothed ferret before. Watching the blood-toothed ferret run far away, Ye Xuan didn't say another word and rushed into the cave, only to find it pitch black inside. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, this is really screwed up."

  The cave of the Blood Fang Mink wasn't very big, and after walking in for over a dozen meters, Ye Xuan discovered a beam of bright light. The source of the light was a brown, triangularly-cut Lingzhi mushroom. Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel excited - triangular glowing Lingzhi were truly rare indeed.

  Ye Xuan pulled out the lingzhi mushroom and was about to run back, but he saw a nest made of weeds two meters away, what attracted him was not the nest, but behind it there was a white soft stone egg.

  This made Ye Xuan feel strange, isn't this animal a mammal? How can it lay eggs? Ye Xuan picked up the soft stone egg, which was a bit heavy, and thought to himself, "Whatever, I'll just bring it with me, maybe it's a treasure." He put it in his pocket and took off running.

  Ye Xuan had just emerged from the cave, and he couldn't help but stare blankly. It would be more accurate to say that he was stunned. All he saw was the blood-eyed ferret's crimson eyes staring at him intently, its gaze fixed on the Flowing Departure Bamboo in Ye Xuan's hand. The blood-eyed ferret let out a furious roar as it charged towards him.

  Ye Xuan thought to himself, this little girl is really unreliable, she let that beast run back so quickly.

  Xue Ya's ferocious teeth were bared as he pounced on Ye Xuan, who turned to flee towards the stone wall. Just as Xue Ya was about to catch up, a beautiful figure appeared, wielding a precious sword and rushing over. It was none other than Dong Fangyan, who stabbed her sword through Xue Ya's neck with one swift motion.

  At this time, Xue Ya was severely injured, but at the same time, he thoroughly enraged his ultimate power. Ignoring the pain in his neck, he turned his head and pounced on Dongfang Yan. At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly had a heroic spirit of saving beauty, pulled out the dagger given by Dongfang Yan, and stabbed Xue Ya's buttocks with a fierce stab.

  Ye Xuan's sudden strike made the Bloodtooth Ermine let out a low growl, seemingly losing its last bit of strength, and after a few convulsions, it fell to the ground.

  Seeing Xue Ya's demise, both Ye Xuan and Dongfang Yan let out a sigh of relief. However, Dongfang Yan's next sentence left Ye Xuan stunned.

  "Wow, you're so awesome, you actually plugged it into its butt!"

  Ye Xuan heard this and felt embarrassed, this little girl's words were so direct. He explained: "It wasn't me who inserted it into its butt, I used your dagger to insert it into its butt."

  Dongfang Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression, thinking that this wasn't what he meant.

  Ye Xuan looked at Dongfang Yan's expression and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, it seemed he was just overthinking.

  Ye Xuan picked up the Lingzhi that had fallen on the ground and handed it to Dongfang Yan: "Here, you wanted this Lingzhi."

  Dongfang Yan held the Liu Li Zhi, her eyes lit up, and she felt a surge of excitement in her heart. The tension that had been building up earlier suddenly dissipated, and she exclaimed: "That Ye Xuan, thank you so much! Without our coordination to lure the tiger away from its mountain lair, it wouldn't have been easy to get the Liu Li Zhi."

  Ye Xuan thought to himself, this is really a good match, if you had appeared a bit later, I'm afraid the one lying on the ground now would be me.

  Yexuan looked at her excitedly holding the Flowing Lychee and said, "I say Dongfang girl, you're not being honest, just now you used me as bait."

  Dongfang Yan also smiled slyly and said: "Otherwise, how can I guarantee a hit every time?"

  Dongfang Yan suddenly thought of something and asked: "Right, just now I saw that there was no aura flowing on your body?"

  Ye Xuan dryly laughed and stuttered in response: "That thing, isn't it because of that day when I fell off the cliff? After waking up, not to mention my spiritual energy, even the entrance to the sect is gone."

  When Dongfang Yan heard Ye Xuan say this, she was surprised and let out a "huh?", looking at Ye Xuan who didn't seem to be lying, and began to feel a bit sympathetic towards the young man in front of her. After all, cultivating Xuanqi was very popular on this continent, and losing one's sect was truly a tragic thing.

  Dongfang Yan came to the side of Xue Ya, pulled out a dagger and shook it at Ye Xuan, saying: "This is for you, without the protection of the mysterious energy, with this dagger, at least you can defend yourself in the future."

  Ye Xuan arrived at the Xuanji Continent, this was truly the first time someone had given him something, and it was a dagger for self-defense. Ye Xuan felt somewhat moved, but he wasn't an overly sentimental person, and sometimes he would even take advantage of the situation. He took the dagger and said to Dongfang Yan: "That thing, I think your Soul-Stealing Sword is pretty good too, give that to me as well."

  After finishing speaking, Ye Xuan made a move to take the Soul-Devouring Sword from Dongfang Yan's hand.

  Dongfang Yan wouldn't agree: "Hmph, you're really not polite. No way, the Soul Snatcher is a second-tier treasure, my treasured possession. If I didn't have it, I reckon Xue Ya's Blood Toothed Ferret would still be alive now. This can't be given to you."

  Ye Xuan didn't really want to, he was just joking with Dongfang Yan. After collecting the spoils of war, they started climbing up the steep mountain wall. Although Ye Xuan had gone down quickly, climbing back up exhausted him. By the time they reached the top of the cliff, the sky had already darkened.

  "Yexuan, I'm leaving, thanks this time."

  Dongfang Yan bid farewell to Ye Xuan and her body transformed into a shadow that quickly disappeared into the forest.

  Ye Xuan looked at the disappearing figure, and the fragrance of Dongfang Yan still lingered on him. Looking at the deadly dagger in his hand, he wondered if he would meet this little girl again?

  Recalling the thrilling scene just now, Ye Xuan felt his heart beating faster. He suddenly felt very excited and thrilled, with a hint of excitement. This kind of life was something he had never experienced before. After all, Ye Xuan was someone who craved excitement back on Earth.

  He suddenly thought of the soft stone egg in his pocket and wondered what it was.
