Everywhere was covered with thick dust, peculiar in nature on this planet—instead of the usual grains, it came in flakes, akin to snowflakes or the ashes of burned paper.

The dust felt slightly dense, giving the sensation of walking on a somewhat firm sponge when trod upon, perhaps also due to the planet’s weak gravity.

From above, the egg didn’t seem large, but upon getting closer, Lin Shen realized it was much bigger than he had imagined.

It was nearly one meter in diameter, and he estimated its height to be over two meters.

It was mired in dust, concealing its original color and texture, so Lin Shen took out a towel and wiped off the dust.

Underneath the dust lay a blue steel-colored shell, the hue reminiscent of expertly forged bluesteel.

A watery glaze covered the outside, conveying an illusion of being semi-transparent.

Once Lin Shen had dusted it off, the egg’s true colors were completely exposed before him.

“There are no spirit patterns!” Lin Shen exclaimed in elation.

The absence of spirit patterns indicated the egg likely wasn’t Ascension Level but seemed more like a Base Variant Creature of Steel Level.

“Without the high temperatures of the green lava in Ring Mountain, the Base Mutation Egg probably couldn’t hatch. Maybe the inside is still in a liquid state,” Lin Shen thought as he pulled out the Death Powder.

Transforming it into a spear, he thrust directly at the Base Mutation Egg.

After all this effort, he had grown somewhat hungry, so he thought getting something to eat wouldn’t be so bad.

Even if it had hatched, and wasn’t an Ascended Creature, Lin Shen wasn’t afraid.

Ding!

The Death Powder’s spike struck the egg with a pointed end, only to emit a crisp sound, leaving no trace on the shell of the Base Mutation Egg.

“Is it that hard?” Lin Shen was somewhat surprised.

Although it was a casual stab, with his current strength coupled with the sharpness of the Death Powder, an Alloy Egg should have been pierced straight through.

This made Lin Shen realize that this was not a Steel Egg, it just appeared to be one; it was probably a Crystal Mutation Egg.

Lin Shen gripped the Death Powder and stabbed again, this time invoking the Super-Base Armor-Piercing Spike and Super-Base Instantaneous Speed.

With the aid of these two skills, even a Crystal Base material should yield a hole.

Ding!

Another crisp sound rang out, and to Lin Shen’s astonishment, this blow left no mark on the eggshell either.

“This is quite strange. With the skills of the Death Powder, even a Mutated Crystal Base Egg should have some trace left on it, yet there’s nothing. Could it be an Ascension Egg?” Worried he might have made a mistake, Lin Shen closely inspected the giant egg once more.

No matter how he looked, there wasn’t the slightest hint of spirit patterns on the egg; indeed, it likely wasn’t an Ascension Egg.

“It’s too strange. If it’s not an Ascension Egg, why is it so hard?” Lin Shen pondered and then summoned the Frost Swordsman.

Of all his pets, the Frost Swordsman’s destructive power was the strongest now.

The Frost Swordsman appeared before the giant egg, gripping his greatsword with both hands and delivering a direct slash at the egg.

The greatsword crashed down upon the giant egg with violent force, and with a clang, again no scratch appeared on the surface.

This truly surprised Lin Shen; even with a force of 41 and armed with a sharp weapon, the Frost Swordsman failed to leave a mark—just how hard was the shell of this giant egg?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Lin Shen did not command the Frost Swordsman to cease; he continued landing continuous strikes.

Despite blow after blow landing on the shell, not a single mark could be made.

Lin Shen had no choice but to order the Frost Swordsman to stop, taking a closer look at the gigantic egg once more.

“Could this really not be an Ascension Egg?” Lin Shen was filled with doubt.

But no matter how he looked at it, there were no spirit patterns, and without spirit patterns, it couldn’t possibly be an Ascension Egg. That was certain.

“All I wanted was something to eat, why is it so difficult?” Lin Shen felt somewhat depressed.

Even the Frost Swordsman couldn’t leave a mark on it; it seemed the egg was unbreakable.

Just as Lin Shen was wallowing in his dejection, he suddenly heard a crack, and to his surprise, a fissure appeared on the surface of the eggshell.

The crack ran from top to bottom, encircling it completely.

Before Lin Shen could react, the eggshell split open into two halves.

Lin Shen quickly leaped back, his gaze fixed on the hatching creature inside the broken halves.

As the shell fell away, Lin Shen saw a strange creature standing upright inside.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“A humanoid creature!” Lin Shen took one glance and started to run even faster.

The creature was like a human clad in heavy armor, its carapace mainly bronze-like, with edges that glowed like green crystal.

Lin Shen had never seen a Base Variant Creature like this before; steel was steel, crystal base was crystal base, but this creature seemed to possess the properties of both steel and crystal base.

Since Ring Mountain wasn’t very high and the gravity was extremely weak, it took only a few leaps for Lin Shen to reach the summit.

Glancing back, he saw the Base Variant Creature’s eyes under its faceplate emitting a green glow, staring coldly at him.

A jolt of fear struck Lin Shen’s heart. Originally, he had thought that the creature’s first act after birth would be to eat the eggshell.

But there it stood, not sparing the shell a glance, its attention fixed solely on him.

“No way!” While Lin Shen was praying, the creature suddenly bent its legs and with a powerful stomp, leaped into the air.

Its leap propelled the body like a cannonball towards Lin Shen on the mountaintop.

“Oh, come on, won’t you eat something instead of coming after me?” Lin Shen leaped down from the summit.

At the same time, he drew his Pet Launcher and ejected Big Red Bull.

By the time he landed, he was perfectly astride Big Red Bull’s back, immediately urging the steed to race away at full speed.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The Base Variant Creature, having landed atop the summit, glanced at the fleeing Big Red Bull and leaped down from the mountain, chasing at an even faster pace.

To Lin Shen’s dismay, Big Red Bull wasn’t faster, and the gap between them narrowed more and more.

Lin Shen felt trapped; he couldn’t escape, nor could he win in a fight. He was in quite a predicament.

If the creature’s carapace was already so hard, its strength must be even greater—how was he supposed to fight it?

Lin Shen looked back and noticed a weak spot on the creature.

However, the spot was located between its chest and abdomen. With the speed difference, aiming for it head-on was going to be difficult.

Seeing that escape was futile, Lin Shen stopped running. Clenching his teeth, he pulled out his dual guns and kept firing continuously, releasing pets one after another onto the ground, surrounding the creature.

“Even if I can’t kill you, trapping you should work. I just need one shot at your weak spot,” Lin Shen thought grimly.

In a moment, Lin Shen had launched all his crystal base and Mutated Crystal Base pets, surrounding the creature with more than twenty pets.
