Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

"Don't worry, wait here for me. I'll go out and check the situation."

Inside the fish's belly, Lin Yuan leaned close to An Xin's ear and whispered something.

He first needed to confirm whether he had entered the Golden Roc's nest. Only after confirming this could he feel at ease and continue hiding.

Otherwise, I'll never be able to put my mind at ease.

"Okay, you have to be careful." Anxin held Lin Yuan's hand and carefully reminded him.

She was a little worried about Lin Yuan. Those golden roc birds were far beyond their ability to contend with, and in this dangerous environment, nothing could go wrong.

"It's okay, I won't go far, don't worry." Lin Yuan nodded and reassured An Xin.

After saying that, he prepared to take action. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to delay.

Carefully exploring in the dark, trying not to make any noise, Lin Yuan reached the giant mouth and slowly pried it open. After confirming that there was no movement outside, he cautiously poked his head out, looked around, and finally crawled out of the mouth.

This is the depths of a huge cave, with openings in the ceiling through which beams of light shine down, illuminating everything inside.

Lin Yuan hid behind the pile of fish, carefully observing his surroundings.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face; this was indeed the nest of the Golden Roc.

Because there were still some golden feathers scattered on the ground, and traces of the Garuda's life could also be found.

"Great! The plan is halfway to success!"

Lin Yuan clenched his fist, feeling very excited.

He glanced at the cave entrance. Now that the Golden Rocs had all gone out to hunt, he could explore the nest and find out exactly where the ancient dragon egg was.

However, this action was indeed somewhat dangerous. Lin Yuan put on the [Stealth Cloak] and immediately entered a stealth and concealment state.

A faint light emanated, completely enveloping his body. Lin Yuan smiled and carefully emerged from behind the pile of fish.

After looking around a few times, he began to explore the area nearby...

Before long, Lin Yuan stopped in front of a huge, round rock, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead.

The stone has several holes on its top, and light shines directly onto it. It is not only huge, but also excessively round, as if it contains a giant egg.

It must be an ancient dragon egg, right?

Lin Yuan couldn't help but step forward, looking at the two or three round stones that were as tall as himself, and put his ear close to them, wanting to hear if there was any movement.

But he was soon disappointed; there was no movement at all, as if it were just a lifeless boulder.

"If it were that easy to spot, how could it possibly be my turn..."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, chuckling to himself.

Indeed, if it were so easy to discover that this was an ancient dragon egg, would those Garudas have kept it until now? They probably would have forced it open long ago...

However, Lin Yuan was already basically certain that this was an ancient dragon egg, because there was nothing more similar to it in the nest.

Once he had made up his mind, he didn't hesitate or linger. He quickly returned the way he came, went to the pile of fish, pried open the fish's mouths, and crawled inside.

Every second outside was dangerous; those golden rocs could return at any moment, and being spotted would be disastrous. Even with the [Stealth Cloak], Lin Yuan was still afraid of being discovered by those second-tier golden rocs...

It's always best to be cautious. Now that everything is settled, there's no need to take any risks. Let's just patiently wait for the ancient dragon egg to hatch...

......

Time flew by, and soon the eighth day of the trial was over. The ninth day of the trial arrived, which was the day that Lin Yuan and the others had been waiting for: the day the ancient dragon egg would hatch!

"This day has finally come! It's been so hard-won!"

Inside the fish's belly, Lin Yuan shook his head with a wry smile and sighed softly.

It was indeed not easy. He and Anxin had been inside the fish's belly for a day and a night. No human could survive in such an environment. It was smelly and disgusting. Several times when they ate or drank, they almost vomited from nausea.

After enduring the discomfort, they finally survived a grueling day and night. At this moment, one can imagine the joy in Lin Yuan's heart.

Of course, there's also the joy of finally getting the Ancient Dragon Blood. After planning for so long, the result is finally in sight, which is undoubtedly exciting and joyful.

Although... even after obtaining the Ancient Dragon Blood, they still had no way to leave the nest and return to the surface. They had to hide inside the fish's belly and hold out until the tenth day of the trial was completely over before returning directly.

But no matter what, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel...

"It's the final moment, we can't be careless, we still need to be careful," Anxin reminded him, emphasizing that there couldn't be any accidents at this crucial juncture.

"Yes, of course I know!" Lin Yuan nodded with a smile; he wouldn't let his guard down.

"Let me check the leaderboard."

After saying that, he opened the kill leaderboard to check if his number one position was in danger of being overtaken.

[First Place: Lin Yuan and An Xin, who together obtained 43 Kill Marks]

[Second Place: Anonymous Player, Anonymous Player, together obtained 25 Kill Marks]

【...】

No problem, I'm still in first place, and the gap between me and the second place is still quite large.

Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction. As long as there was no risk of being surpassed, he had secured resources in two areas.

The ancient dragon blood that's about to be acquired, and the space ring that's ranked number one on the leaderboard.

Nothing was delayed, I'm so happy!

After waiting for a while, Lin Yuan and the others clearly heard the sound of the Golden Rocs leaving their nest in droves. They had gone out to hunt again, and now the nest was completely empty.

"The opportunity has arrived. Don't worry, let's go out."

The commotion of the golden roc swarming out of its nest was a signal for action. Lin Yuan was the first to arrive at the fish's mouth and greeted An Xin.

Anxin quickly followed.

After exiting the fish mouth, the two, now in stealth mode, went directly to the front of the huge round rock.

Before long, the round stone emitted a strange sound.

Patterns lit up and gradually covered the entire surface of the round stone, making it look extremely mysterious!

As the patterns faded, a heart-pounding sound, like the beating of a drum, emanated from within the round stone, accompanied by a terrifying and unsettling pressure spreading outwards.

This oppressive aura instilled an indescribable fear in Lin Yuan, who was standing to the side, and he was completely stunned.

Click, click!

The surface of the cobblestone began to crack, and a monster was about to break out of it!

But just as it was about to hatch, a strange thing happened!

As if interfered by some rule, the monster did not appear instantly, and its life force was slowly dissipating.

Roar!

A deep dragon roar came from within, filled with endless resentment and confusion!
