Shen Hua got up and went to a tree to rest he took out a small bag in which he kept his other crystals and the crystal of the Windweb Spider that he catched in the cave of yours space ring. Before setting the crystal with to the others, he observed it. It is light green so light, nearly white. It appears to have several small tangled lines inside him in it although it has a solid crystal texture.
After see he put with the others. Standing still, the adrenaline in his body began to run low and he began to feel pain back and his leg that was bitten by the Windweb Spider. 'Argh, the armor was able to protect me from poison and fire but it seems that the blows of that bi*ch still hurt a lot.'
Shen Hua pulled out a small medical kit he made before leaving with antidotes, anesthetics, bandages, needles, threads, and some medicine. After applying back pain medicine Shen Hua bandaged her.
'My leg looks the most injured, I have to wear a splint and rest for today.' Shen Hua treated his leg with difficulty and climbed the tree so he could rest with less chance of being attacked.
Taking some food from his ring Shen Hua began to think about Shen Ruo. He wasn't her real brother, but he was becoming more and more fond of him. 'I should get him a gift. I will try to find something later. What would he like to receive? ' While he was thinking he fell asleep.
-------
In the middle of the night Shen Hua woke up with a loud howl and bird sounds near him. 'It seems like a fight between spiritual beasts.'
Shen Hua was trying to sleep, but the sounds from the fight wouldn't stop. 'Sh * t! I can't even sleep.' Giving up sleep Shen Hua headed toward the sounds of battle.
Taking care not to make a noise and draw some spiritual beast to himself Shen Hua followed through the trees 'If I'm lucky I can get a crystal or two.' Excited about the idea Shen Hua sped toward them.
'I have to arrive before one side dies.' When a spiritual beast dies a crystal is formed but if not removed within a few minutes it loses its power and becomes a simples stone.
As you approached you can see a Pack of Ironfang Wolves battling a Lightning-Feathered Eagle and a Fire-winged Eagle. Observing the situation Shen Hua realized that the two eagles were trying to defend their nest while the wolves wanted to devour them.
'Why are these eagles defending the nest? Against all these wolves they would usually woulds fly away.' As I thought the Ironfang Wolves managed to catch the Fire-winged Eagle and began to dismember it.
Seeing her mate getting caught, the Lightning-Feathered Eagle dived to try to save her, but as she was about to attack one of the wolves caught her by her blind spot and knocked her down. With both of them on the ground the wolves began to devour them.
Shen Hua was watching the scene from above a tree that went up to hide from the Ironfang Wolves. 'Why did they try so hard? It's just a nest no reason to kill itself for it. If they were a couple they could be defending their egg but there is no way for two different species to breed. Or has?'
Shen Hua sat on the tree watching the Ironfang Wolves feeding until he slept. After leaving Raven's Imperial City Shen Hua traveled non-stop sleeping an hour or two a day when he had a chance to rest he quickly fell asleep.
By the time Shen Hua woke up the day had already passed half. The Ironfang Wolves were gone and what was left of the eagles were only two bloodstains.
Coming down from the tree Shen Hua lengthened. 'It wasn't very comfortable but it was invigorating. Now let's see what was so special about the nest for these two eagles to give their lives.' Shen Hua headed toward the tree where the nest was.
Excited by the idea that it could be an egg even though the odds of two different species reproduce be too low he quickly climb the tree.
Arriving at the nest he saw an egg 'It really is an EGG! This is very rare two different species have managed to reproduce!' Picking up the egg Shen Hua started to come down from the tree.
'Should I make him my spiritual beast? I read that a bond can be formed with a spiritual beast when it is born.' With the egg in his hand Shen Hua sat at the foot of the tree.
'I don't think this kind of beast suits me. I'll give Shen Ruo he should have a fire affinity like the whole Shen family so he should get along with this beast. ' Shen Hua placed the egg beside her and took a map from inside her ring.
'The next target is the Poisonous Blood Frog, he lives in the marsh after this forest I should arrive in five days including the rest of today. I better go.' Getting up Shen Hua took the egg and rolled up it with a cloak. He did not keep the egg in the ring because it does not store living things.
'Maybe later I'll look for a beast for myself too. A the poison type is perfect for me. Maybe a crow
It's my favorite animal and with the amount of corps I have around. It will surely have plenty of food.' Shen Hua followed through the woods for the rest of the day as night went up a tree to sleep.
Walking through the forest Shen Hua found several spiritual beasts. When he was behind the first two targets he avoided getting into fights but this time whenever he saw a spiritual beast he fought them until he killed them or until they ran away which normally happened because he did not stalked them.
Shen Hua managed to gather some crystals but they were not the ones he wanted so he only kept them to sell them later. It is rare to find people selling beast crystals because usually families and the army keep to themselves all they meet to strengthen themselves.
So those who are willingjust sell them have very high prices or want some kind of treasure. There are also some groups that sell directly to families for more profit. Shen Hua would have bought it but has no money or treasures to exchange and take with the Shen family is completely impossible.
Shen Hua walked for six days to reach a swamp where Poison Blood Frogs live.
"Let the hunt begin!"
