Chapter 127: Waiting for the Hare

Yes, it was the black egg!

The black egg was the largest of the seven. Furthermore, its trajectory was headed straight toward him.

Qin Feng was overjoyed!

He extended his hands and caught the massive black egg directly. However, Qin Feng had not anticipated that the egg would not only be enormous in volume but also exceptionally heavy, feeling as if he were holding a small mountain. He had to channel his dragon power into his arms just to barely stabilize his stance.

The egg was huge, and its aura was incomparably powerful. The surging life force within the egg sent waves of palpitations through Qin Feng.

With a heart full of joy, he stowed the giant black egg into his storage ring. His current mood was incredibly complex.

How did the saying go? "Man proposes, God disposes; you plant flowers with intent, but they do not bloom; you plant a willow without intent, and it grows into a shade."

He had specifically gone to seize the white egg but failed, yet through a series of coincidences, he had ended up knocking the black egg loose! Moreover, the Heavenly Demon had told him that among the seven eggs, the black, gold, and cyan ones were the most suitable for him.

And now, he had actually obtained the black egg!

His luck was simply explosive!

At this moment, everything within the Demon Den had returned to calm. Yet beneath this calm lay hidden, deadly danger. Having obtained one black egg, Qin Feng was already satisfied; if he were to continue being greedy, it was uncertain whether he could even keep his life.

Putting away the Heavenly Demon’s Blood Qi Coffin, the Heavenly Demon’s eye blinked into existence within his palm.

"Qin Feng, since you have already obtained the black egg, you had better leave this place of trouble as soon as possible!" The Heavenly Demon clearly felt lingering fear regarding the demon sealed beneath the golden ancient talisman. And the demon was only one reason; Qin Feng himself faintly felt that behind this demon lay a massive secret.

Judging by the Heavenly Demon's behavior, it seemed to know something.

But it did not want to tell him, so it was useless for Qin Feng to ask. Most likely, it was because his cultivation level was not high enough; if he learned secrets he shouldn't know, it would inevitably invite a fatal calamity upon himself.

However, before leaving...

Qin Feng once again cast his gaze toward the entrance of the Demon Den, staring at the white egg, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

After pondering for a while, Qin Feng made a reckless decision.

"Heavenly Demon, I have decided to stay here for a while longer!"

"As for the reason, you understand!"

Qin Feng gestured with his eyes toward the white egg at the entrance of the Demon Den, offering a meaningful, wicked smile.

"Fine, do as you please, but stay far away from here," the Heavenly Demon sighed, blinking its eye helplessly.

"Don't worry. During this time, please help me look after Zhan Bai," Qin Feng said, his only concern being Zhan Bai.

The Heavenly Demon replied, "Hmm!"

Then, there was silence.

The Heavenly Demon was always like this, often cold and detached, and Qin Feng was already used to it appearing unexpectedly to pour a bucket of cold water on his plans.

With matters here temporarily settled, Qin Feng followed his plan and withdrew from the Demon Den. In a grotto on the periphery where the demonic aura was slightly thinner, he began to look around carefully.

There were many corpses here, making it easy to hide, but Qin Feng wanted to find the best possible spot.

He wanted a place that was both suitable for concealment and good for observing. Finally, after a great deal of effort, he found a protruding boulder.

"Hmm, this will do!"

Nodding, Qin Feng muttered to himself.

He drew his heavy blade, *Zhongwu*, and carved a well-hidden entrance into the back of the boulder, tunneling through its interior to create a small cave capable of housing him.

Immediately afterward, Qin Feng took the large black cloth from his storage ring and draped it over himself.

Qin Feng’s purpose was simple: to wait for an opportunity.

Of course, he was watching the Demon Den, waiting for the lecherous toad inside the white egg...

Based on Qin Feng's understanding of this lecherous toad, since it had chosen to inhabit the white egg, it clearly had a certain level of confidence that it could be reborn in another way.

How could Qin Feng let that happen? This lecherous toad must die!

Therefore, Qin Feng intended to gamble once more, to lie in wait and try his luck.

In any case, he had nothing to lose.

Furthermore, he did not know how to leave this ancient battlefield within the painting wall. Rather than searching like a headless fly, it was better to wait patiently here. Sooner or later, others would come, and once there were more people, it would be easier for him to slip out.

Once he chose to lie in wait, Qin Feng would wait with great patience.

This was something Qin Feng excelled at.

Steadfast, calm, and unhurried!

He remained completely motionless, lurking in the dark like a beast, watching everything.

Time passed bit by bit.

Unfortunately, man proposes, but God disposes.

The lecherous toad did not come out of the Demon Den.

Instead, on the second day, without any warning, two incomparably powerful auras appeared out of thin air within the cave. As the two figures gradually solidified, Qin Feng’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise and solemnity after he clearly saw who they were.

"It’s actually the two of them!"

Qin Feng had seen these people before, as they had left too deep an impression on him. Furthermore, he had even crossed blades with one of them once.

That’s right, they were Death Scythe and Bone Ridge!

These mysterious individuals who had once invaded the Shu Sword Mountain using two corpse puppets had appeared here again. Could their true purpose in inciting the war have been to obtain those... eggs?

Most likely, yes. In times of chaos, it is easiest to profit as the third party.

Qin Feng dared not release his divine sense to investigate, because he knew that these two were definitely their true bodies; the aura they revealed inadvertently was already enough to leave him breathless.

At this moment, Qin Feng held his breath.

These two were the kind of people who killed without blinking; if discovered, he would surely die.

Qin Feng carefully remained hidden until the two mysterious figures walked deep into the Demon Den, only then daring to raise his head and peek twice toward the depths of the cave.

Not long after they entered, booming explosions erupted from within the Demon Den, mixed with angry roars and the sound of clashing metal. The scale was massive, far beyond the level of the commotion Qin Feng had caused earlier.

Clearly, the battle inside was intense.

Not long after, two figures flew out in a disheveled state, but judging by their forms, they had not suffered any major injuries.

Qin Feng vaguely saw that the two had brought out a total of three eggs.

"Gold, green, and purple!"

As they left, Death Scythe was still grumbling, seemingly complaining that someone had beaten them to the punch and taken the black egg they wanted most. He told Bone Ridge to order their subordinates to track down the whereabouts of the black egg upon their return.

Only after they left did Qin Feng secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In just that short moment, his back had been completely soaked with sweat!

These two mysterious people were simply too powerful.

They had actually managed to snatch three eggs from the mouth of the demon! And this was even after the demon had been provoked by him. Otherwise, they might have obtained even more.

Qin Feng did not move; he did not even wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.

If you choose to lie in wait, you must remain perfectly still!

Just as he had expected, not long after the two left, another mysterious woman with a graceful figure, her face covered by a purple cloak, snuck into the area. She took out a very unique umbrella-shaped weapon, opened it, and vanished from sight.

Qin Feng knew she had entered the Demon Den.

However, that umbrella-shaped weapon made Qin Feng’s eyes light up.

This time, a considerable amount of time passed. The first half was relatively quiet, but later, sudden roars and sounds of battle became exceptionally harsh. Qin Feng even heard the sound of someone vomiting blood. When the graceful woman in purple robes walked out, she was limping, clearly having been heavily injured. Moreover, that umbrella-type magical treasure was damaged and broken beyond recognition. Qin Feng looked closely; it was a high-grade Profound Treasure of the defensive variety. What a pity. If not for that defensive treasure, the woman’s life would likely have been left behind.

However, she had successfully brought out a cyan egg.

Qin Feng sighed for a long time.

"Who is this mysterious woman in purple?"

Qin Feng had never seen this woman before, and her aura was also very unfamiliar. He was certain this was the first time he had seen her.

She left, and Qin Feng dared not stop her.

Because her strength was likely that of a cultivator at the Tiangang Realm.

After all, to be able to snatch a cyan egg from the hands of an enraged True Demon, without Tiangang Realm strength, one would not stand a chance. The saying "a starved camel is bigger than a horse" was true; Qin Feng dared not take the risk.

After the woman left, the Demon Den temporarily fell silent.

Qin Feng continued to hide.

Until three days later—

A massive black coffin carrying a child, along with a middle-aged man with silver eyebrows, slowly walked in from outside the cave. Qin Feng’s eyes suddenly narrowed!
