What a lucky world!

Chapter 270 Bastard!
"Which one is this?"

Zhang Mu looked at the beast bones dug out from the ground, stretched tiredly, and asked.

"My lord, this is the thirty-eighth place!" Shu Daoshan, who was only half a man's height and had a rat's head, answered seriously.

"How many more are there?" Zhang Mu asked again.

Shu Daoshan smiled and said, "There are still one hundred and six!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu let out a long sigh.

Zhang Mu originally thought that he could just leave the task of finding monsters to the rats, but he soon discovered that he was wrong.

Although those rats had some intelligence, and the clever ones even showed signs of becoming monsters, they were just trained ordinary rats after all, and they didn't have much vision. When they were released to look for special situations in Qianyuan Mountain, they reported back all kinds of strange things.

There are fish in the river that can cry like babies, birds on the trees that look like cats, trees that sprout when struck by lightning, and wood that sinks when it comes into contact with water...

This isn't a monster hunt at all, it's clearly a survey of Qianyuan Mountain's local specialties!
But Zhang Mu had no choice but to believe it rather than not, and he had to personally check every reported abnormality.

At the beginning, Xuan Ji was very enthusiastic to accompany Zhang Mu in the search. But after two days, she went back to bask in the sun in boredom, leaving only Shudaoshan to accompany Zhang Mu.

"What a miserable life..." Zhang Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly swore in his heart that next time there was such an opportunity, he would save up enough luck money to exchange it all.

"Where is the next place?" Zhang Mu asked.

Shu Daoshan sensed it briefly and replied, "About eighty miles to the east, there's a small pond. They say there's a suspected formation..."

"Another suspected formation?" Zhang Mu muttered.

This kind of abnormality is also the most common situation he has dealt with during this period. There was an alchemy rat that dug into a granite vein underground, but couldn't dig through it no matter how hard it tried, so it said that there was a suspected formation blocking it!

But you have to go and see it.

"Let's go! Lead the way!" Zhang Mu ordered, and Shudaoshan immediately ran towards the east. Zhang Mu used his Qinggong skills to follow him...

……

After about half a cup of tea, Zhang Mu and Shu Daoshan arrived at the unusual spot. There was a mouse sitting on the ground, gnawing on a corn cob. When the mouse saw Shu Daoshan and Zhang Mu coming, it immediately dropped the corn cob and ran in front of them, tilting its left upper limb upwards at a 45-degree angle, and yelled, "Squeak!"

Shu Daoshan made the same gesture and then said, "Squeak?"

The mouse pointed to the small puddle ahead and said, "Squeak, squeak—squeak!"

After saying that, the mouse turned around, accelerated, and suddenly jumped towards the pool. Then Zhang Mu saw a light curtain flash across the pool. The little mouse hit the light curtain, just like hitting a trampoline, and its whole body was bounced back.

Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a bit interesting.

……

Zhang Mu slowly walked to the edge of the small pond, stretched out his hand forward, and soon he touched a soft and elastic wall of air.

With a little force, Zhang Mu's palm moved inward about an inch, and then a rebound force came and shook Zhang Mu's palm away.

"Rat Rice Mountain!" Zhang Mu shouted.

"Here!" Shudaoshan stepped forward immediately.

"Go get me some wild beast blood." Zhang Mu ordered.

Upon hearing this, Shu Daoshan responded and turned to leave.

After about an incense stick of time, Shu Daoshan returned, waving a large gourd in his hand. "Master, I found a nest of wild rabbits, but I only collected this much blood."

Zhang Mu threw the gourd towards the pool of water, then gathered his energy and suddenly struck it with his palm. The gourd immediately shattered, and the rabbit blood inside fell down like a bloody rain.

Then, the originally invisible wall of air was stained with blood and turned into a visible outline.

It looks like a standing egg and is only about the height of a three or four-year-old child.

"Rope!" Zhang Mu stretched out his hand, and Shu Daoshan immediately took out the prepared rope from his waist and handed it to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu tied up the "blood egg" and tried to pull it out of the pool, but found that he couldn't.

With Zhang Mu's current level of cultivation, he could pull ten cows, but he couldn't pull out this "egg" that was less than one meter long.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Mu took out the Yinhu Sword and chopped at the "egg", and then the Yinhu Sword was immediately repelled.

Zhang Mu then increased his strength, and finally used all his strength, even his knuckles were numb, but the "egg" still did not move at all.

Now Zhang Mu was worried.

There is no doubt that this "egg" is definitely magical, but is it the monster left behind by the Tianji Sect as mentioned in the Tianji Scroll?
If so, what species is it?
After circling the "egg" several times, Zhang Mu summoned the Heavenly Secret Scroll with a thought, and a light screen of the Heavenly Secret Scroll appeared before his eyes. Then, Zhang Mu placed his hand on the "egg".

The next moment, the light curtain in front of Zhang Mu suddenly shattered and turned into rays of light that floated into the "egg".

"The bet was right!" Zhang Mu smiled.

He was just thinking that since it was a monster raised by the Tianji Sect, it should react to the Tianji Scroll.

really!

At this moment, the "egg" that had absorbed the light from the Heavenly Secret Light Curtain suddenly began to float up, and suddenly spun rapidly, throwing out all the blood on it.

But the egg did not disappear again after the blood was thrown out. Strange patterns appeared on the surface of the "egg", which looked extremely mysterious.

When the entire surface of the "egg" is covered with patterns, the "egg" becomes still again.

Then, Zhang Mu heard a lazy voice coming from the "egg" -

"Ah~"

"I woke up~"

"Ok?"

The egg seemed to be startled again, and suddenly froze, and then -

Get out!

That’s right, it fell directly to the ground in front of Zhang Mu, and then rolled out quickly like a ball.

Zhang Mu: (￣ェ￣;)
This monster doesn't seem to be very smart.

Zhang Mu moved, and in a blink of an eye he stood in front of the "egg".

"Hello, can you hear me?" Zhang Mu asked.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you!" A panicked voice came from the "egg", and then it tried to bypass Zhang Mu and continue to escape. Zhang Mu reached out to grab it, but the pattern on the "egg" flashed. Zhang Mu pressed down the "egg", but a smaller "egg" ran out of the "egg" and continued to roll and run.

Zhang Mu exerted a little force, and the "egg" in his hand shattered immediately. He quickly used his lightness skills again and caught up with the smaller "egg".

"Don't run away yet, listen to me..."

"I don't want to listen, you bastard!" The "egg" said aggrievedly, and rolled out another smaller "egg" and continued to roll.

Zhang Mu immediately drew out his Tiger Sword and thrust it in front of the "egg": "Do you believe I can roast you?"

"Big brother, I have nothing to do with the Tianji Sect, please forgive me..." The voice in the "egg" became more mournful.

Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows: "You have nothing to do with the Tianji Sect?"

"Then I'll roast you even more."

"Because I am the heir of the Tianji Sect!"

The "egg" was obviously stunned for a moment: "Those charlatans can still leave behind descendants?"

Immediately, the "egg" shook slightly and rubbed against Zhang Mu's trouser leg: "Brother, we are all family, we are all family!"

"You say we are our own people? Who the hell are you?" Zhang Mu asked with pretended disdain.

"I..." "Egg" seemed to hesitate for a moment, "I'm coming out now, don't kill me!"

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll light a fire and roast eggs!"

"I'm coming out, I'm coming out..." A sighing sound came from the "egg", and then Zhang Mu saw a crack in the egg in front of him.

Then, the egg broke open, and inside—

It's still an egg!

The shell continued to break, and I don't know how many times it broke, until finally an egg the size of an apple appeared, and from inside came a strong voice:

"I'm really coming out this time!"

Then, the eggshell broke open, and a little emerald green turtle appeared in front of Zhang Mu.

"Hello, Senior Brother, I'm Tianji Bastard!"
