Chapter 4: Naughty Egg

A giant egg fell from the sky and it just fell on the position where Han Zhiyuan was lying before.

He got up and circled around the giant egg three times and then looked at the big pit that was smashed out under it. Han Zhiyuan had lingering fear, if he were a little slow, he would've been smashed into a meat paste by this thing.

The reason why it is said to be an egg is entirely because the shape of this thing is like an egg that is magnified dozens of times, but this thing is black and it was as high as one meter six or seven, oval in shape, and when it was knocked, it was as hard as iron, making a heavy thumping sound and the surface was not smooth.

In such a world, it is impossible to rule out it was some kind of creature's egg, but what kind of creature's egg will fall from the sky? There is nothing like this in the original owner's memory.

What the hell? Han Zhiyuan planned to reach out and touch it. If it was a freshly laid egg, it should be hot.

"Stop." A cold piercing voice.

When Han Zhiyuan turned his head, he found that the silver-haired man was frowning while looking his direction and then in a blink of an eye, he suddenly appeared beside the egg.

Is this the legendary teleportation? Han Zhiyuan couldn't help but stare straight, but the silver haired man didn't pay any attention to him. His pale red eyes stared at the black egg tightly, surprise flashed in his cold eyes and even his pale complexion eased up a lot.

Han Zhiyuan saw that he raised his slender hand and was about to touch the egg but suddenly the egg shook and at the same time he felt a huge force coming behind making him lose his balance and almost fall down.

"What the hell?" Han Zhiyuan was shocked but before he could stand still, the giant egg suddenly jumped out of the pit and then jumped to Han Zhiyuan's side again and again... 

Han Zhiyuan who was dodging it, was once again stumbled and nearly ate a mouthful of mud.

This happened again and again, no matter how fast Han Zhiyuan moved, the egg can accurately pin point his location and jump on him with its huge force value due to its size.

The scholar would rather be killed than humiliated!

Han Zhiyuan can't bear it anymore. He bends his right leg and stretched forward his left foot. He positioned out his hands like a Tai Chi master, "Come on, let's fight!"

The giant egg jumped over and just landed on Han Zhiyuan's hand and then shook twice, before becoming quiet.

Han Zhiyuan's hands shook, before he stabilized. Even Han Zhiyuan felt strangely that the giant egg was rubbing against his hot palm and it seems to be very happy.

The corners of Han Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, "What do you mean?"

"It wants to be close to you." The silver-haired man, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. Although he had the same cold tone as always, it was mixed with a little bit of helplessness. Even when he spoke to Han Zhiyuan, his eyes never left the black egg. 

Han Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that all along this guy was trying to stick close to him. That is to say, all those bad teasing behavior just now was the act of acting spoiled to gain his attention?

Han Zhiyuan: ...

Could it be because my body temperature is higher than ordinary people? Han Zhiyuan tried to touch the black egg twice and sure enough, the black egg shook twice, looking very cheerful.

In other words, I am not one of its parent.

"Why is this happening?" Han Zhiyuan turned his head to look at silver haired man, but the man didn't care about him at all and only focused on studying black egg.

At this moment, there seemed to be vague human voices in the distance. Han Zhiyuan was overjoyed. He was thinking about asking for directions or following someone to get out of the forest but he was taken back when he saw alertness flashing through the silver-haired man's eyes and then he covered his chest looking painful.

"What's wrong?" Han Zhiyuan reached out to help the silver haired man who looked a little shaky and as a result, the man's face turned cold and he only squeezed out a word from his mouth.

   

"Go!"

Han Zhiyuan saw him being so anxious and he immediately had a guess in his heart, but just as he was about to pick him up and run away, it was too late.

"Yo," a slightly feminine voice mixed with mockery, "Look, what we got here."

Han Zhiyuan followed the voice and saw a group of five young men wearing the same purple robes walking towards them. They first looked at Han Zhiyuan as if watching a joke, then saw the silver haired man  behind Han Zhiyuan and their eyes flashed with amazement, but soon, it turned to disdain, probably because finding that the gender was male.

"How did a little samurai like you run to the imperial mountain range? Aren't you a fool?" The man stared at Han Zhiyuan with a playful face, "Don't tell me that you are also here for the Peacock King."

The man laughed as if even he didn't believe what he said. In front of the strong, the weak are like transparent people and their cultivation is clear at a glance.

Han Zhiyuan knew about the peacock king but there is no information about the Imperial mountain range on the original owner's memory. Han Zhiyuan doesn't know the strength of the other party so can only watch them laugh. Although he did not know their cultivation, but they were definitely much stronger than him. 

But the eyes of the five people quickly focused on the black egg, walking around it non-stop, tapping and touching it time to time, making a sound of admiration, obviously, they did not know what kind of egg it is.

"Boy," a slightly older young man suddenly looked at Han Zhiyuan, "We want this black egg."

 As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhiyuan could clearly feel the silver-haired man beside him frown slightly and a sense of anger coming from him, so he can only bite the bullet and say "No"

The few people looked at each other and laughed, looking at Han Zhiyuan like a fool, totally ignoring the eyes of the silver haired man that was looking at them like looking at dead. 

The young man who spoke first sneered, "Boy, what kind of treasure do you really think this is? It's just an ugly black egg, but it can be used to feed our monsters."

Several young people laughed for a while, but the oldest among them has been staring at the striking silver-haired man beside Han Zhiyuan. 

When he first saw this person with striking silver hair and light red eyes, it gave him a sense of oppression for no reason. In addition to his extraordinary temperament and stunning appearance, he unconsciously revealed a noble aura and more importantly,with his cultivation level being at great martial master, he can't see through this person's cultivation at all.

As for why they didn't think the person was someone with higher cultivation, it was mainly because how weak the person looked with the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth and what more they don't feel any coercion of the powerhouse from him which put their mind at ease.

Han Zhiyuan knew that the silver haired man seemed to want this black egg, but right now he was severely injured and the strength of those few people is far superior to him, so right now they have no choice but to sacrifice the black egg,

However, before Han Zhiyuan opened his mouth, the black egg who had been surrounded by several young people suddenly moved and in their full view, it jumped up and smashed directly to Han Zhiyuan's side, tilted itself very humanly and leaned on Han Zhiyuan's body.

Han Zhiyuan:...

"This egg has... spirituality!"

"Heaven ranked demon beast!"

Several young men suddenly widened their eyes, pointed at the black egg beside Han Zhiyuan in disbelief and exclaimed, their eyes gleaming, as if seeing some heavenly treasure. 

The human race has a distinction between high and low, and the demon beasts also have a difference in strong and weak. 

Generally, the strength of demon beasts is divided from one to ten levels, for example, eighth-order demon beasts can transform into human forms, however, there are also strict rank differences between different types of demon beasts, and different ranks have different strengths at the same level and even the cultivation speed, talent and preciousness are different, such as the heaven ranked demon beasts in their mouths. Moreover, there was a strict hierarchical suppression between the demon beasts.

Yellow Ranked, Mysterious Ranked, Earth Ranked, Heaven Ranked, holy Ranked, and the God Ranked that only exists in legends. The higher the rank of the demon beast, the stronger their strength would be compared to others on same level. Ordinary cultivators can only have Yellow ranked demon beasts while only the elders of some well known sect will have Mysterious Ranked demon beasts. As for Earth Ranked demon beasts, only a few sect masters of big sect got them. 

Heaven Ranked demon beasts are not only rare but it is basically impossible to make them surrender. So what does it mean to get a Heaven Ranked beast before it was born?

Almost instantly, several people's eyes turned red. Han Zhiyuan was also surprised. In the memory of the original owner, it is known that the higher the rank, the more powerful and rarer the demon beasts are, but the key is that the most powerful demon beast in the original's memory is also Mysterious Ranked which he had once watched from distance. 

Before Han Zhiyuan could answer, the five youths looked at each other and said, "Let's decide by our own ability!" 

As soon as they finished speaking, several of them rushed towards Han Zhiyuan at the same time. To be precise, it was the black egg beside Han Zhiyuan.

Regardless of this, Han Zhiyuan pulled the silver haired man and ran. However, before he took two steps, he found that the person he was pulling was getting heavier and heavier. Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw that the already pale complexion of silver haired man was bloodless and looked like he was about to faint any moment.  

Han Zhiyuan was shocked, but as soon as he stopped, the black egg which was chasing after him in high speed doesn't have time to pull break and pushed them down. 

Han Zhiyuan: Where the hell did this shit come from!

Han Zhiyuan only felt that a silver-haired ice cube was hitting his chest, the silver-haired man's hair covered his face and he smelled a faint fragrance. Suddenly there seemed to be a stone hitting on his back and the pain almost made him shed tears. When he opened his eyes again, he saw silver haired man standing in front of him a little shakily and five young men surrounded them.

"You you... are you the Peacock King?" As soon as the breath came out, several people immediately sensed it, and when they realized that this was the Peacock King that everyone from the Nine Heavens Continent was looking for, several people were so excited that their legs were trembling and of course it could not be ruled out that the trembling may be because of fear. After all, this man was so powerful that he is famous all over the continent.

"Yes... it's him, the Peacock King!" How many people can still release such a powerful aura when they are so seriously injured?

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this a stroke of luck?" The eyes of several people quickly began to glow.

Some people were even drooling,"The Peacock King, who was severely injured by the Yuan God, is said to be severly injured. Falling into imperial mountain range, its really cheap for us."

Peacock King? Han Zhiyuan was startled, and looked at the cold-faced silver-haired man in shock, but before he could speak, he felt a strong aura suddenly emanating from his body.

 "Hmph! Fools who is aiming to get something beyond their ability!" The silver-haired man's red eyes seemed to shoot two rays of light and the whole body was even more chilling. Obviously he did not release any strong pressure but forced several great martial masters to take a few steps back unconsciously.

Several people immediately flashed a trace of fear in their hearts, but seeing the state of this silver haired man, plus the rumors in the outside world, they immediately made up their hearts, and their respective natal magic weapons appeared in their hands. The Peacock King who was full of treasure, plus the heaven ranked demon beast egg, it was worth fighting with their lives in line.

"It's just a bluff!" A man snorted coldly, and the five of them attacked the silver-haired man at the same time.

"Fuck!" Han Zhiyuan was startled and decisively hid behind the black egg, but his eyes were fixed on the silver haired man, why is this the Peacock King? How can he be so strong?

The silver-haired man's complexion became more and more pale. Han Zhiyuan was anxious in his heart, but he, being a weak chicken, couldn't help at all.

At this moment, a white light suddenly busted and then Han Zhiyuan was blasted out with a great force, not only Han Zhiyuan, but also the black egg and the five youths. He flew straight out for more than ten meters before smashing down, and he rolled his eyes in pain.

Looking up again, he was immediately stunned. He saw that in the place where the light was shining just now, a giant white bird the size of a modern airplane fluttered in air, its crystal clear wings were full of radiance, especially the long-tailed feathers that were so beautiful that one couldn't remove their eyes after laying on it and the small fan-like feathers on the top of the head were even more dazzling and noble.. 

"White Peacock?" Han Zhiyuan swallowed unconsciously, it turns out he was really the "Peacock King!" The Peacock King at a quiet distance was simply breathtakingly beautiful.

The Peacock King swept his tail and a colorful light flashed in the air and then only a few screams were heard. Han Zhiyuan hurriedly looked at it and saw that the five young people who were arrogant just now were crying and begging on the ground, however when the light swept away, they disappeared.

Disappeared? Turned into ashes! 

Han Zhiyuan was frightened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. It was very dangerous. If he was standing a little closer to them just now, would he still be alive?

"Ugh"

Just when Han Zhiyuan was in shock, he saw the radiant Peacock King in the sky suddenly spew out a mouthful of blood, and then his huge body suddenly shrank into a normal-sized white peacock like a deflated balloon in the blink of an eye, the divine light was gone and the crystal clear feathers became even more gray.

Han Zhiyuan was startled and hurried over, only to see the Peacock King's eyes slightly closed, looking like he was dying.

"Let's go!" The white peacock opened its mouth and uttered these two words with difficulty, then closed its eyes and fainted. Han Zhiyuan was startled again, then hurriedly bent down and picked up the white peacock and ran away with a black giant egg jumping and chasing after him.

What the hell is this, why is it chasing after him all the time!
