Chapter 26
Golden Horned Beast Egg
Chun Shenjiang Base.
Without a leader, the beast tide finally became less fearless. After regaining their senses, the monsters realized that their companions had not returned and had not sent back any news. They understood that this was not a safe place, so they all fled for their lives.
At this moment, Luo Feng returned with two large pliers.
Base Commander General Li Dawei personally came out to greet them.
"Inspector Luo Feng and Mr. Zhou Tong, thank you both for your help. Without you, the losses from this beast tide would have been incalculable."
Luo Feng smiled modestly and said, "This was my responsibility, and the pacification of the beast tide was also due to the joint efforts of all the warriors."
"Luo Feng, stop talking nonsense and find an excuse to leave. Finding the Golden Horned Beast egg is the most important thing."
Ever since learning about the Golden Horned Beast egg, Babata has never stopped talking about it, reminding and urging Luo Feng almost every few minutes.
If Luo Feng hadn't been mentally strong and already used to communicating with Babata in his mind, anyone else would probably have gotten impatient with being called.
"Commander Li, there's still a problem with this beast tide. It's abnormal that a level one beast tide is being commanded by only one high-level lord. Something unknown may have happened in the depths of the ocean. The base should not let its guard down for the time being. I will set off immediately to investigate the situation."
Meanwhile, on the river surface.
Zhou Tong had already withdrawn the poison gas from the Great Poison Technique.
The river water in this area, due to the overwhelming power of the poisonous gas from the Great Poison Technique, was corroded clean of all its filth by the use of poison against poison, becoming crystal clear and standing out starkly against the surrounding turbidity.
This scene reminded Zhou Tong of the Medicine King Buddha's Glazed Immortal Technique in the novel "Eternal Life".
However, Zhou Tong hasn't even mastered the individual Three Thousand Great Daos yet. The Great Immortal Techniques composed of the Three Thousand Great Daos are completely like trying to catch the moon in a well for him—visible but unattainable.
With a helpless sigh, Zhou Tong flew to Luo Feng's side and overheard him saying that he was going out to sea to conduct an investigation, which saved Zhou Tong from having to explain himself.
"Without further ado, Commander Li, please deal with the pincers of this Sky-Slaying Beast. Let's set off now."
Li Dawei nodded: "Be careful!"
The prehistoric-class fighter jet soared into the sky and disappeared where the sea and sky met.
Inside the fighter jet, Babata appeared and began to explain her analysis results.
"Based on satellite scans of the distribution of sea monsters, there was an abnormal gathering in the central Pacific region, and various forces around the Pacific encountered a monster tide."
Luo Feng felt a headache coming on when he saw the area of the sea circled by Babata on the projection.
"Such a large area is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Just searching through it once would take at least half a year. Is there a better way?"
At this moment, Zhou Tong was fiddling with some divination tools, preparing to try the method of deducing and tracing one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, to see if he could find the exact location of the Golden Horned Beast's egg.
Seeing Luo Feng and Babata's gazes, he explained, "Don't even think about it. My divination skills are still in their infancy. I'm just trying it out. If the Golden Horned Beast Egg has come into contact with anything, it might be possible to deduce some information."
Luo Feng and Babata looked disappointed.
"Looks like we'll have to keep searching..."
Zhou Tong was quite relaxed. He came to find the Golden Horned Beast Egg hoping to get lucky. If he found it, great; if not, he would find a solution once he entered space.
Thinking of this, he comforted Luo Feng.
"If we can't find it in a short time, we'll stop looking for now. We'll focus on repairing the Heilongshan spaceship, then go to space to buy advanced probes and come back to look."
Babata was also blinded by the golden horn behemoth egg, and she didn't think much about these basic common sense facts.
"Zhou Tong is right. If we had advanced detectors now, we could find the Golden Horned Beast egg in no time."
Babata immediately began checking whether any of the various factions on Earth had obtained any good detectors from the ruins.
A moment later, Babata sighed dejectedly.
"Next, you two will be responsible for finding the Golden Horned Beast egg. I'll go and hurry up and repair the Black Dragon Mountain X81's power system. Fortunately, we knew about it in advance and controlled it as much as possible, so there wasn't much damage. It should be repaired in another month or two."
......
Two months later.
It's now December, the end of the year, and Zhou Tong and Luo Feng have used their mental powers to roughly search the area circled by Babata, but they haven't found anything.
"Could it be that a monster swallowed the Golden Horned Beast's egg?"
Luo Feng lay on the outer shell of the fighter jet, sighing helplessly.
Zhou Tong retorted, "The Golden Horned Beast is one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts. It is born with the memories of its race's inheritance, as well as three innate secret techniques. In addition, it has a primordial core that it is born with. It is difficult to kill by conventional means. Earth monsters are even less likely to devour it under the suppression of its life level. On the contrary, they may even worship it."
This was another blind spot in Luo Feng's knowledge, and he could only look at Babata with a blank expression.
Babata looked grave: "Master's knowledge base only has a general introduction to the Golden Horned Beast. There is no record of the talent secrets and original core that Zhou Tong mentioned. If it is true, then we should be glad that the Golden Horned Beast is still an egg."
Then Babata's expression changed instantly, and he rubbed his hands together, looking like a money-grubber.
"Luo Feng, one of Master's secret techniques is 'Body Seizure,' and this Golden Horned Beast is simply a gift from heaven to you!"
Looking at the fanatical Babata, Luo Feng chuckled awkwardly, "No matter how powerful the Golden Horned Beast is, I have no intention of giving up my human identity. Why would I give up being a decent human and become a monster?"
Babata immediately flew to Luo Feng, displeased, wanting to pat him on the head, but unfortunately, she was a virtual projection and couldn't touch him at all. She could only try to persuade and tempt him.
"By possessing the Golden Horned Beast, you may become a great and immortal powerhouse like your master, a god with eternal life. Otherwise, with your current aptitude, even with your master's inheritance, you can only become a universe-level being at most."
At this moment, Zhou Tong interjected, "The Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique includes the ability to create clones. By possessing the Golden Horned Beast, one can create a human clone. Moreover, once the strength reaches a certain level, it will revert to its original form, and everything will return to the human being itself."
Luo Feng asked in surprise, "The Golden Horned Beast is so powerful, why don't you want it?"
Zhou Tong waved his hand dismissively: "I have better options than possession. The Golden Horned Beast was originally intended for you. I just need to take some of its flesh and blood once it hatches."
Babata immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Luo Feng, now you have no reason to refuse, right?"
Luo Feng chuckled and said, "It's still far from certain. We'll see when the golden horned beast egg will be found."
Babata said proudly, "After two months of working day and night to repair the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship, it is now fully repaired. Only a little system debugging is left, which will be completed in a week at most, and it will be ready to go to space soon."
Luo Feng said helplessly, "The New Year is almost here, there's no rush. We can go to the universe after the New Year."
