Chapter 0009: Monster Eggs

The corpse was clad in a short armor, holding a curved dagger in its hand, and even in the depths of winter, a foul odor lingered in the air

"Hey, that kid!" A crisp female voice, as clear as jade falling on a silver plate, reminiscent of the song of a yellow oriole, came through.

The elder did not decline, and after Zhao He accepted the beast egg, he slowly spoke, "I have accepted the beast egg. After the annual sacrifice, I will select three young men from the village to bring back to Yandu as compensation"

Elder Gu, this corpse must have reached the fifth level of foundation establishment before death! The cause of death was a giant claw piercing through the chest and abdomen! Just now, the guard who went in reported in a low voice, casually flipping the corpse over, revealing a huge claw mark that penetrated the short armor, with bloodstains resembling dried mercury.

Call!

Looking at this claw print, it should be from a golden-eyed eagle diving down from a high altitude, but how could a martial artist at the fifth level of foundation establishment evade the high-altitude hunting of the golden-eyed eagle! Zhao He, have you made any other discoveries?

The elder nodded and said, "Zhao He, hand these three beast eggs over to Master Gu!" He seemed completely unconcerned about the immense value of these three beast eggs

The old man did not take it to heart, "It doesn't matter, just clean as you wish."

... ...

This young lady, there are many experienced elders in the village, and I still have to take care of my father, so I have no time to go into the mountains! Gu Shao lowered his eyelids, firmly deciding not to agree. But the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise!

The Grand Commander only trained for three years back then, yet he was able to slay the three great elders of the Divine Blade Sect with a single strike! These three were masters of the Qi Sect, truly unparalleled in the world! I, Gu Shaoze, if I could follow in his footsteps... Gu Shaoze was consumed by madness, the calm and composed genius of the past was nowhere to be seen

Gu Shao looked speechlessly at his cousin, who was blushing furiously, and his father, Gu Jiu, who was swaying like a drunkard.

"What a pity! That is Yandu! Under the feet of the Son of Heaven! Moreover, your Uncle Gu is an elder of the 'Divine Blade Sect', one of the three major sects of Dayan! If you join the 'Divine Blade Sect', you might even have the hope of advancing to the Qi Sect!" Gu Jiu exclaimed excitedly, becoming somewhat incoherent.

He will select the three most outstanding youths to bring back to Yandu during the annual festival

"Tomorrow I will go into the mountains to gather herbs, you take me into the mountains tomorrow!" As soon as this young lady spoke, Gu Shaoshang knew he was in for trouble. Sure enough, it was a case of misfortune befalling one at home, as calamity descends from the sky! Gu Shaoshang silently lamented.

Gu Jiu was making lanterns in the courtyard. Upon seeing Gu Shaoshang return, he did not look up and said, "The food is on the table, help yourself."

In the southeast of Gujiazhuang, there is an old courtyard that has suffered from numerous collapses due to being uninhabited for many years

A cry of alarm rang out! A guard clad in red phosphorescent armor suddenly sprang up and leaped into the courtyard. Before long, a corpse was brought forth.

The elderly man and his companions stood outside the door, and he gently touched his bald head, saying, "Uncle Zhen, this old courtyard of yours can no longer accommodate anyone! You should stay at my house instead!" Gu Yu awkwardly lowered his head and replied, "You haven't returned for many years, and this courtyard hasn't been cleaned in a long time."

This is the beast egg of the golden-eyed eagle! The young girl glanced around and recognized it

The three major sects of Dayan are "Shendao Sect", "Xuankong Temple", and "Taibai Sword Sect", all of which have a legacy spanning over three thousand years and are considered prominent sects in the present age! Within these sects, there are countless powerful individuals, and their foundations are extremely profound! Even with the dominance of the Martial Arts Hall, they are reluctant to provoke them easily

On the fair and luminous palm, a pale red elixir the size of a longan suddenly caught Gu Shaoshang's eye, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted up. Gu Shaoshang inhaled a wisp of it, and instantly felt invigorated

Gu Shaoshang raised his head, and in the distance on the street, a girl draped in fox fur, dressed in silver white, resembling a snow spirit, slowly approached him accompanied by two maidservants, a delicate smile gracing her exquisite little face

That is ... ...

Without waiting for the elder's instructions, a group of servants had already hurried in to clean up

Gu Shao was truly unable to endure it any longer and fled the room as if in escape

My name is Gu Shaoshang Gu Shaoshang frowned. Daughters of wealthy families are the most troublesome and often a collection of problems

In no time, various messages spread throughout Gujia Village. Everyone was discussing and expressing various feelings of envy and jealousy towards Gu Shaoshang and the other person.

Uncle Zhen! You should keep this beast egg; I fear that I cannot protect Gu Family Village, and it may bring disaster!" Gu Yu sighed inwardly. Such a thing, which holds great allure even for powerful figures at the Qi Realm, if left in Gu Family Village, could lead to the entire village meeting an untimely end!

Gu Yu took the beast egg, his expression changing several times before he finally spoke

The elder nodded, as he had intended to select talents for his family during this outing. Obtaining three golden-eyed eagle beast eggs could be considered a double benefit

Zhao He opened a leather pouch in his hand, revealing three silver-white eggs the size of fists, and respectfully said, "This is a leather pouch tightly held in the hand of the corpse, containing three beast eggs!"

It is ! ''

Understood! Gu Shaoshang walked to a corner of the yard, picked up a ladle from the bucket, and took a few sips. Upon entering the house, he found a pot of wild boar meat stewed with radish on the table

Carrying firewood, I walked into my own yard. "Father, I am back."

Indeed! That is the Divine Blade Sect! The Grand Commander of the Martial Arts Hall, Chen Ang, studied martial arts at the Divine Blade Sect in his youth! Gu Shaoze was somewhat beside himself with excitement

Zhao He reluctantly glanced at the leather pouch and handed it to Gu Yu beside him. The golden-eyed eagle can fly fifty thousand miles in a single day! It is the best mount, and adult golden-eyed eagles are extremely difficult to capture; the value of their eggs is beyond imagination! Even a powerful practitioner at the Qi Realm cannot afford to ignore this!

Considering the two individuals' flushed faces, they hesitated to speak, unable to fathom that such an event would occur

A few pounds of meat soup, bones included, were swallowed down. Gu Shaoshang returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and entered the world within the mirror

Ah!

Not necessarily! I heard that one needs to check their innate qualities!

Are you saying that the old man is Gu Xuanzhen, the Minister of War of the Great Yan Dynasty

On the side, Guji also sighed inwardly, "Elder brother's prediction was correct. If this thing is left behind, I'm afraid the lives of everyone in the manor will be at risk!" In this world, the law of the jungle prevails! Even if the weak obtain treasures, a single misstep, and the news leaks, their entire family could be wiped out! Guji has heard of such incidents quite a few times!

"Do not get agitated! You have been spinning in front of me for quite a while!" Gu Shaoshang slammed the table, startling the two.

Gu Shaoshang was eating heartily, activating the "Yuan Mang Swallowing Star Record" that he had already mastered. His stomach felt hot as his astonishing digestive ability, ten times that of an ordinary person, began to operate. As Gu Shaoshang continued to eat, waves of heat were transmitted from his stomach throughout his body, causing all his bones and muscles to tremble slightly

Thank you, Uncle Zhen!

This is a replenishing pill, capable of replenishing bodily deficiencies and regulating the five internal organs. Gu Lianxing slowly spoke, a smile appearing on her exquisite face

... ...

Uncle Zhen, three months ago, I shot a demon beast, the Golden-eyed Eagle! At that time, I was puzzled as to why this demon beast lingered over the village, only to find out that someone had taken over its old nest! Gu Ji stepped forward to explain. The Golden-eyed Eagle can only lay eggs once in its lifetime, usually producing only one or two eggs, which explains why it risked being shot by human experts while hovering low in the air.

There is no opportunity for us here! It is certain that Gu Shaoze will be chosen, Gu Shaoshang will harm them!

Gu Shao Shang naturally did not realize that he had been seen through by others, and he believed that his potential was insufficient to become a strong individual

Ah! So that's how it is! Guji exclaimed loudly!

The young girl, Lingxing, stepped out from behind the old man, her face showing not the slightest hint of fear

Considering the overwhelming joy of others, they all fell to the ground in reverence
