At the bottom of the pond there was a huge spirit stone, at the center of the crystal there was a hole and a big oval shaped stone like thing was lying in it
'An egg?' Rex thought
The egg was actually absorbing spiritual Qi in the pond, the fact that it was above the huge spirit stone in itself showed that the egg was placed there to be nurtured
Rex looked at big white egg, the egg would have looked really beautiful if it was in good condition but right now it was on the verge of breaking it wasn't because it was going to hatch or something rather than hatching it was about to break it had many cracks on it
Those crack didn't look like they were natural they were like someone had hit the egg or attacked it with the purpose to destroy it
'The life signature coming from the egg is very low' Rex thought as he gently touched the egg
[The baby is pretty good to have survived that long, with the condition it is in right now its chances of survival are very low]
'Hmmm… it is fighting for life before it even born.. count yourself lucky buddy whether its a coincidence or fate you met me I can at least give you a life for struggling that long' Rex careful held the egg and took it out of the pond with him
[Why are you bothering to save it, its core can benefit you and we have already killed so many spirit beast so what's the use of trying to save this one]
'You make me sound heartless, those spirit beast didn't had any intelligence they attack me the second they see me and do you think they won't hunt others if they got the chance they all follow the rule of the jungle so I did the same
But this guy hasn't even born yet so how could I put it at the same place as them and this guy's perseverance has won my heart so the least I could do is help it survive' Rex said as he examined the egg
Rex didn't got any DNA signature from touching the egg so he couldn't tell what type of creature was inside it
'Heal' (Rex)
Rex used heal on it but there was no change in the state of the egg Rex didn't feel that the condition of the one inside it improved either
He then took out few HP potion and spilled it on the egg, the surface of the egg absorbed some of the potion spilled on it but there was still no change in it and to make it worse Rex sensed that the speed at which the egg was absorbing spiritual Qi has decreased
'Even the HP potions I had made right now became useless on it looks like the baby inside it is of pretty high rank or its body is too injured and lacks nutrition to recover using HP potion…hmm maybe both' Rex thought
[This HP potion is already the highest grade recovery potion we have]
'Hmm.. actually we do have something else although it's not a potion it can provide what this one need' Rex transformed his right hand into a blade and made a small cut on his left hand
Rex forcibly stopped the wound from regenerating, the blood came out of the wound and fell on the egg
Suddenly just when the blood fell on the egg it madly started to absorb the blood
'Just as I thought it needs a nutrition tonic' (Rex)
The egg would not absorb just anyone's blood it did that because it was Rex's blood
A high grade bloodline represents its origin by the effect for example if someone who had a fire attribute got the bloodline or blood essence... no that aside even if they just got the blood of someone from Phoenix Clan and absorbed it then their fire attribute Qi will be raised to another level.. just like that Dragon Bloodline, Fairy Bloodline, White Tiger Bloodline.. etc every bloodline holder's blood can have a special effect on someone who absorbs it
Rex's bloodline is 100% pure because its origin is Rex himself, his bloodline was made after combining the bloodlines of several creatures and after every evolution it went through another refining
Because of all that Rex's bloodline also obtained a special effect and Rex calls this effect 'Enhance' in simple words, it was a strong nutrition tonic but that was just one way to look at it, its real effect was enhancing for example if someone absorbs Rex blood then all their physical status will slightly increase and they will also get a temporary healing boost but this was only the tip of the iceberg because its effect was not limited to living beings
In pill refining if someone uses Rex's blood while refining a pill then not only the rate of refining success will increase but the quality of the pill will also increase
After Rex discovered this effect he decided to never use it or even show it to any other cultivator because if the news gets out and reaches the Alchemist Association then there will be many old people who will be interested in inviting Rex for dinner
The egg was absorbing the blood but then Rex discovered that its absorption rate has decreasing
'Damn... it's still lacking spiritual Qi how much does this baby wants to eat' (Rex)
[No wonder the egg was inside that pond]
'Rose start the Exp transfer.. if we can't nurture it using spiritual Qi then giving it a small dose of Exp is the only way to save him' (Rex)
[You sure even if you try to decrease the rate of transfer you cannot control it to an extent where you can decrease the transfer rate that much and keep it constant at the same time and we don't know how much energy it needs if we forcibly transfer more than needed then it's done for]
Exp is the purest form of energy Rex knows off its like energy of life that he extracts from other living beings he killed but it can not be used like Qi for combat because it gives a lot of strain on the body
Rex can only use it to level up because if he tried to use it in combat it will be like using rocket fuel to drive a car
'Don't worry I have a plan' (Rex)
Rex took out two top grade spirit stone
'Transmutate + Telekinesis' (Rex)
The spirit stone's shape changes and soon they combined and transformed into a long thin needle.. although it looked like a needle it was actually a very thin tube
Rex inserted one end of the tube in one of the small cracks in the egg
Rex slowly inserted it and after he felt a little resistance he stopped advancing he didn't had any intention to pierce the baby's skin, reaching it was more than enough
[I see.. so you want to use it as a vessel to transfer the Exp it will work as a bridge if the transfer rate increased or the baby stopped absorbing the Exp then the bridge will break because of the increase in pressure]
'Okay it's good that you understood but we don't have time to waste so start the transfer' (Rex)
[Starting Exp transfer…..]
A warm flow of current came from Rex's core and spread in his body Rex then guided this energy from his hands to the tube and carefully transferred the energy through it to the egg
This time Rex wasn't directly transferring the Exp to someone so he didn't know about the condition of the target
When the energy entered the egg it quickly absorbed it seeing this Res sighed in relief because it meant his theory was correct
According to him, the baby was a high rank beast that was why it was able to absorb the Exp or else even if he used all these means a weak beast cannot absorb it when they are still not born
Half an hour passed like that...
All this time Rex's full focus was on the Exp transfer because his one mistake can easily kill the baby inside the egg
..Crakk…
Suddenly Rex saw that a small crack appeared on the spirit tube so he quickly stopped the exp transfer because it meant the one inside the egg had stopped absorbing the energy
..Craakkkkk..crrrkk…
Just when Rex sighed in relief he saw many new crack appearing on the egg
Rex wasn't worried that the baby died because he didn't receive any notification which meant the baby was safe he was more curious to see what type of creature will come out of it
Soon the whole egg was covered in cracks and a small claw pieced the egg from inside and broke it
Rex saw a little white creature coming out of it, except its deep black eye his whole body was of pure white color
It looked like a little white lizard but its size was that of a puppy and it had four legs with four sharp claws at a closer look it would have looked like a western dragon only if… only if it didn't have three heads
Yes the creature had three long white swan like necks and three head on top of them, it also had a tail which looked similar to that of a crocodile the difference being it was a little thinner and longer
When it came out of the egg it was covered in a transparent slimy liquid so it started to shake its body like a wet puppy to get rid of it
