Chapter 916 - 706: Snake Egg?! (Part 2)
At the riverbank, no one was in sight.
The riverbed was covered with vines, almost concealing the entire river, but fortunately these vines were gentle and harmless, completely different from the ones that attacked her before.
Shen Tang waved her hand, and the vines retreated like a tide.
But still, no one was there.
At the bottom of the riverbed, a white egg lay quietly.
Shen Tang was dumbfounded, even rubbing her eyes, thinking she had seen wrong.
No way, where’s her little White Snake? How did it turn into an egg?
This egg was completely snow-white, about the size of two fists, with faint purple lines wrapped around the shell, and a light black mist lingering around it, exuding a mysterious and unfathomable aura.
Even Shen Tang, as sluggish as she was, could feel that the aura of this egg was exactly the same as Xue Yinzhou’s!
Was she dreaming?
Her little White Snake had turned into an egg?
But how could he suddenly turn into an egg so abruptly?
Shen Tang stared in disbelief for a long time before finally walking over, cautiously cradling the egg in her arms, and asked the System, "What’s going on here?"
The System was also puzzled; this was too fantastic.
But it carefully scanned the egg’s condition and tentatively answered, [I guess... it might have been due to the Mother Tree’s life force causing this accident, after all, life force itself symbolizes both rebirth and death...]
Shen Tang’s heart tightened, her body almost losing balance.
The System quickly continued, [Rest assured, Host, he’s still alive! He should have entered a temporary state of suspended animation! The reason he regressed like this is probably due to triggering the ’rebirth’ power of the Mother Tree.]
[The body of Xue Yinzhou, which was previously severely damaged by the Tumor Gu, has taken this chance to repair itself, equivalent to rebirth, which is actually beneficial for him.]
[When he hatches and is reborn, he will definitely be stronger than before, returning to his peak state.]
[Host, don’t worry, this state will not last long, just wait for him to hatch naturally.]
Hearing this from the System, Shen Tang was relieved, "You scared me to death, don’t speak half-heartedly next time."
She almost thought he was gone.
However, the System didn’t say when he would hatch; hopefully, it wouldn’t take too long.
Shen Tang carefully placed the snake egg into her space, then left the cave, preparing to return the way she came.
Unexpectedly, halfway back, that group of Parasite Clan people attacked again, led by the same middle-aged female as before.
She glared at Shen Tang, her eyes full of murderous intent. Although it was only an avatar that died last time, the death of the avatar would injure the main body and cause a loss of power.
She must avenge this grudge!
"Don’t think you can escape; you can’t get away on the Parasite Clan’s territory." The middle-aged female, with her subordinates, surrounded Shen Tang, vowing to take her life this time.
This time, the stinky girl’s Snake Beast companion was also absent, probably tortured to death by the Tumor Gu, leaving only her, a female, making it as easy as pie to kill her!
However, Shen Tang showed not the slightest panic on her face, but rather a hint of eager excitement.
The middle-aged female felt a slight unease but dismissed it as mere bluffing and immediately launched an attack.
Shen Tang didn’t move, merely raising her hand indifferently, and countless vines were neatly severed by the fierce Ice Blade before they even got close to her.
The faces of the Parasite Clan people changed drastically.
Some among them had fought her before, and she was far less strong back then. In just a day, her strength had soared, even exceeding that of most people present!
This kind of oppression, they had only felt it from the elders in the clan!
"Ah—"
Screams sounded one after another.
Those Parasite Clan people couldn’t even get close to her before being easily reaped by the Ice Blade.
The face of the middle-aged woman changed too; how had this stinky girl’s strength increased again?
However, that was all; as the Fourth Elder of the Parasite Clan and one of the top ten powerhouses in the clan, how could she fear an outsider female?
"A bunch of useless fools! This elder has to personally take action!" Her thin, elongated fingers swiftly transformed into ten vines, stabbing straight at Shen Tang like sharp swords.
The vines glowed moss green, with iron-black thorns covering the surface, cutting trees in half and shattering rocks wherever they passed.
Shen Tang dodged quickly, but the vines relentlessly pursued her.
As the vines pressed close to her face, she conjured an ice wall to temporarily block the attack, while an Ice Blade appeared in her palm; however, the blade that could cut through gold and jade before could not sever the sturdy vines this time.
"You can’t possibly be my match; if you surrender to death, I might let you die with a whole body!" the middle-aged female said with a smug expression.
After all, how could so many people attacking one possibly fail?
She was too lazy to play the game of cat and mouse any longer and prepared to finish Shen Tang off directly.
But just as she was closing in, Shen Tang, who had been scrambling to dodge, suddenly stopped, and a hard-to-read smile curled her lips, "The prey walks willingly into the trap."
