160: Egg (modified)

Chen Du looked at the brownish-yellow drawing on the back of the paper inside the Storage Ring and muttered to himself.

When his finger touched the drawing, Chen Du couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh?"

So cold!

What's wrong with this drawing?

The tactile sensation was exactly like ice.

Chen Du held his breath and gently pulled the drawing out of the ring.

The physical object was a bit thicker than he imagined, about 0.2 millimeters.

Because of the angle earlier, he thought it was a drawing; with this thickness, it should be called leather.

Holding it in his hand was like holding "a piece of ice," yet it was extremely light, similar to a leaf.

No wonder a corner of it was blown up by the wind earlier.

Chen Du brought the piece of leather closer to his eyes and examined it carefully.

He first confirmed the color and texture of the back, and perhaps due to his limited vision, he didn't discover any mysteries.

Then, he slowly turned the drawing over.

As the leather flipped, a slightly messy drawing appeared before Chen Du.

Just as Chen Du had previously guessed, this was a map.

To describe it more accurately, it should be a map leading to an unknown cave.

The lines on this map were not drawn neatly; in fact, they could be described as somewhat scrawled.

But through those discontinuous markings and symbols, one could still roughly discern the content depicted.

This was a cave whose location was unknown.

Following the winding path on the map, one could see that this cave seemed quite deep and tortuous.

And at the end of the cave, a Giant Egg was clearly marked.

Chen Du, at this moment, adopted the perspective of the Sand Dune Civilization, from a racial talent standpoint.

This egg, like himself, should also be food they wanted to devour, which is to say, a resource.

In Chen Du's impression, the Sand Dune Civilization was a civilization that only knew how to eat, eat, eat, so this egg could only be understood as a resource.

"But why would it be an egg?"

"This is too strange."

Chen Du murmured, somewhat puzzled.

In so many years of study, whether it was the schools in Liang City or the general education classes at Qilin Martial Arts University.

They all taught him one principle.

That is, all alien races on the entire Blue Star are viviparous.

Only creatures like chickens, which are naturally and exclusively food, are oviparous.

Any entity that calls itself a civilization, even beasts roaming outside the Ecological Zone, are viviparous.

The leather wasn't large; the egg in the drawing was just an oval.

Although there was no reference, that egg was about as tall as a stone pillar in the cave.

This is how Chen Du deduced that it was a Giant Egg.

Logically speaking, such a large creature should be a very strong life form, so how could it come from an egg?

This did not align with Chen Du's knowledge acquired over so many years.

However, there was no answer to this question upon deeper thought, so he could only go back and consult relevant books first.

But it was highly probable that he wouldn't find anything; if he could, Chen Du wouldn't have had no impression at all.

To know the answer, he could only go back and ask his teachers.

In Chen Du's mind, the most trustworthy teachers now were the ones responsible for chip transportation this time.

Of course, there was also the Vice-Principal, Pang Tian Ce, who saved him.

However, he didn't have Pang Tian Ce's V, so if he couldn't find the relevant information, he would definitely ask Peng Fei first.

If he didn't know either, he would then ask him for Pang Tian Ce's V.

Although the contact time was very short, Chen Du had some understanding of the other party's temperament.

He should not refuse him.

Thinking of this, Chen Du stopped his train of thought.

Any further thoughts would just be his own unfounded guesses, a pure waste of time.

Immediately, Chen Du continued to look at the map and took a photo with his wristband.

For something like a map, if it's just to record a destination, taking a picture is enough.

As for High Martial Civilization, there is an APP called "Tracer" in the wristband.

It is one of the few APPs that can be used outside the alert line.

Although it's called Tracer, its function has nothing to do with tracking or positioning.

Its main function is "identification," which can identify image content and simulate it.

When arriving at a location where the similarity to the image description reaches 80% in terms of terrain and landform, the wristband will issue a reminder.

Chen Du believed that this piece of leather should not just be a simple record of an address.

This guess came from the material of the leather.

If something is unheard of by Chen Du, then this thing should be quite valuable.

This was not Chen Du's arrogance.

Although he couldn't claim to be widely experienced, he had been cultivated for so long, and his horizons had naturally broadened considerably.

Some normal, or relatively precious, and some secret treasures.

He had seen them all in 3D projections, whether their functions or appearances.

The material of this leather, although he didn't know what it was, clearly exuded a sense of Advanced quality.

Chen Du returned Hals's ring to its rightful owner.

He threw the piece of leather, as light as a leaf and as cold as ice, into his own ring.

Chen Du planned to hand this item over.

If necessary, he could also describe the entire process of his encounter with Hals.

There was nothing to hide about what happened.

The only condition was that he needed to speak with Pang Tian Ce in person.

This mission made Chen Du even more wary of trusting others.

He then waited a few more minutes in place.

One was to see if anything similar to a Little Flying Bug would emerge from Hals's body.

The other was to recover his stamina and Mental Energy.

The recovery agent on his calf was a slow-acting potion for restoring stamina and Mental Energy.

But Chen Du directly injected ten doses, causing a qualitative change through a quantitative one!

The recovery speed was incredibly fast.

Soon, Chen Du was fully recovered.

Chen Du glanced at Hals's motionless body.

To be honest, he really wanted to give the other party a "Du-style three-piece set," but he couldn't cut through him, so he had to give up.

Immediately, he turned and continued along his original planned route.

He didn't know the situation on the battlefield, so he could only follow the predetermined route and continue towards the Eighth Ecological Zone.

...

Just ten minutes after Chen Du left, an unexpected scene occurred.

A black centipede, over a meter long, suddenly drilled out from underground like a black shadow.

This centipede exuded a strange Qi around its body, and its dense, long legs rapidly wriggled, as if searching for a target.

Soon, this black centipede discovered Hals lying motionless on the Surface not far away.

As if guided by some mysterious Divine Power, it crawled directly towards Hals and unhesitatingly drilled into his nostril.

The scene was as if this black centipede had found the entrance to its familiar home, and then swaggered in grandly.

And after this black centipede had completely entered Hals's body.

Hals, who had long since lost all signs of life, slowly opened his eyes!
