The huge black rock that appeared in front of Mu Chen was about ten feet tall. There were some scattered holes on the rock. However, perhaps it was because the rock had been eroded by magma in the past, it was exceptionally smooth.
Mu Chen's palm gently touched the huge black rock. However, he felt that the ancient bronze piece in his palm had become unusually hot.
"Could it be that Jiu You is inside?"
Mu Chen's heart jumped and his eyes flashed. He glanced at Liu Mubai, who was still on the other side, and suddenly clenched his fist. Dark-black Spiritual Energy surged in his palm and a Limitless Death Seal appeared on the surface of his fist.
Boom!
Mu Chen withdrew his arm and fiercely punched out. Although it was a short distance away, it brought along the sound of rushing wind. Then, wrapped in Spiritual Energy, it carried a tyrannical power and fiercely smashed against the huge black rock.
Bang!
When Mu Chen's fist landed on the black boulder, a low and deep sound rang out, causing the boulder to tremble for a moment. In the next instant, Mu Chen could see cracks quietly extending out from the bottom of his fist.
Crack.
Piece after piece of rock started to fall from the huge rock. The speed at which the cracks spread suddenly increased. Very quickly, they covered the entire huge rock.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he carefully took two steps back. When he punched out earlier, he had already discovered that the inside of the huge rock seemed to be a little hollow.
The giant rock continued to tremble, and pieces of rock fragments rapidly fell. Just as Mu Chen was staring at it, his eyes abruptly narrowed. That's because he saw a black light suddenly shooting out from the crack in the giant rock.
The commotion here immediately attracted Liu Mubai's attention. He stared at the trembling black rock in astonishment as a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Rays of black light shot out from the cracks of the rock. Soon after, a wave of fluctuation was emitted. With a bang, the huge rock exploded.
As the shattered rocks shot out, some of them streaked across Mu Chen's body. However, he did not move a single inch as he fixed his gaze at the location where the shattered rocks shot out. At that location, the black boulder had already exploded as a lump of black light quietly rose and gently floated at the bottom of the crater of the volcano.
The ball of light floated in the air. Within the ball of light, there seemed to be a ten feet large black egg. This black egg's entire body was pitch-black and glossy. On the surface of the eggshell, there were numerous inconspicuous but exceptionally cryptic and mysterious patterns. If one were to take a closer look at those patterns, one would discover that they appeared to be a mysterious black bird spreading its wings and protecting the black egg within.
"This is …"
Mu Chen stared at the huge black egg that was flickering with light. He was startled at first. Soon after, a hint of surprise gushed out from his eyes. In the image on the copper plate, it seemed that the Jiu You Sparrow had turned into a black egg and landed here. Could it be that it was the one in front of him?
When Mu Chen saw this black egg, Liu Mubai also sensed it. Immediately, a thick greed gushed out from his eyes. His body moved and instantly dashed out, heading straight for the black egg.
When Mu Chen saw this, his eyes flashed. However, he did not recklessly charge forward. He did not believe that the Jiu You Sparrow would be so easily obtained.
Liu Mubai quickly approached the huge black egg. However, just as he was about to step within a few feet of the huge egg, a ray of black light suddenly rushed out from the surface of the huge egg.
Bang!
The ray of black light fiercely hit Liu Mubai's body. His body that was charging forward was immediately shot backwards and heavily smashed into the mountain wall. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Buzz!
After the giant black egg sent Liu Mubai flying, it seemed to have been activated. Black rings of light surrounded it and it slowly rose into the sky above the volcano.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he hurriedly rushed out of the volcano and arrived at the top of the volcano.
Buzz.
The huge black egg finally floated above the volcano. Rays of black light emitted out and caused the Spiritual Energy within the world to become somewhat violent.
This commotion quickly attracted everyone's attention. Mu Feng and Liu Qingtian also retreated backwards. They stared at the mysterious black egg that had appeared in surprise.
"Father, that black egg is formed by the Jiu You Sparrow. Quickly snatch it away!" Liu Mubai also awkwardly followed up and hurriedly shouted.
"Jiu You Sparrow?!"
Liu Mubai's eyes shrank and joy gushed out from his heart. Immediately, his body moved and turned into a blurry figure. He charged towards the mysterious black egg above the volcano.
When Mu Feng saw this, he did not want to fall behind and immediately followed.
The two of them were extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, they had reached the volcano. They extended their hands and grabbed towards the mysterious black egg.
"Father, don't!"
Mu Chen's eyes stared closely at the mysterious black egg. He suddenly remembered the skeleton that he had encountered in the Black Eerie Swamp. His heart suddenly became uneasy and he shouted out.
Mu Feng, who was about to snatch the mysterious black egg, was startled when he heard the shout. His eyes flashed and he immediately gritted his teeth. He forcefully stopped his body from moving forward.
Although the opportunity in front of him was hard to come by, he still endured the impulse in his heart due to his trust towards Mu Chen.
When Mu Feng's body stopped, Liu Qingtian let out a sneer. His finger had already touched the mysterious black egg. Just when he was about to snatch it away, his face instantly changed.
Buzz!
A strange sound came out from the mysterious black egg. Liu Qingtian's finger that was touching the mysterious black egg quickly turned black. A sharp pain quickly spread out from Liu Qingtian's fingertip.
This sudden change made Liu Qingtian's face change. He struggled madly, but he was shocked to find that his finger seemed to be stuck to the black egg. No matter how much he struggled, he was unable to get rid of it. Moreover, the thing that made him terrified was that the Spiritual Energy within his body was quickly flowing into the mysterious black egg through his finger.
"Damn it!"
Liu Qingtian let out an angry roar. A hint of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes. He raised the blade in his hand and directly cut off the finger that was touching the mysterious black egg.
His finger fell down and blood splattered everywhere. Liu Qingtian endured the pain and hurriedly retreated.
All of these changes happened in an instant. Mu Feng was the closest to it, so he was able to see this scene clearly. His eyes immediately shook as he stared at the mysterious black egg. As expected, this thing wasn't an easy opponent. Fortunately, he was stopped by Mu Chen earlier. Otherwise, he would have to pay an even greater price.
"Big Brother!"
Liu Zong and the others saw Liu Qingtian retreating in panic and quickly surrounded him. When they saw the latter's finger that was cut off, their eyes twitched.
"Be careful, this damn thing is a bit strange!" Liu Qingtian circulated his Spiritual Energy and stopped the blood from flowing out. His eyes were gloomy as he said.
Liu Zong and the others also nodded. It seems that this Jiu You Sparrow wasn't that easy to obtain.
At this moment, Mu Feng also landed and met up with the Mu Territory's men. He patted Mu Chen's shoulder with some palpitation and bitterly smiled: "Luckily, you reminded me quickly."
Mu Chen's eyes were serious as he stared at the mysterious black egg at the crater of the volcano. He said softly: "Old De, be careful. I feel that there's something wrong with it."
Mu Feng also nodded. The Jiu You Sparrow wasn't an ordinary Spiritual Beast. It was a super existence that was ranked 11th on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking. Compared to the Jiu You Sparrow, even his Yan Long Condor wasn't much.
At this moment, the atmosphere became strange. The two groups were originally fighting to the death and refused to let the other party take the lead. However, no one dared to make a move now. They only stared at the mysterious black egg vigilantly and greedily.
A gentle breeze blew over from afar, causing the tense atmosphere to slightly loosen.
Mu Chen's gaze was also fixed on the mysterious black egg. But shortly after, his eyes abruptly trembled as he discovered that the mysterious runes on the surface of the mysterious black egg were starting to light up, bit by bit.
A strange fluctuation was quietly born from within and then spread out.
