Chapter 549: Injured
Translator: bingeants Editor: bingeants
The Reincarnated Beast was often evolved from the ordinary monster. If the unhatched parasite egg was put into the other rare monsters, the egg would be swallowed by the rare monster's Parasitic Soul Worm, turned into the most basic nutrients and would not retain any ability.
Dean looked at the parasite egg and his eyes flashed slightly. Although it was unhatched, it was the parasite egg of a legendary monster. Its value was still amazing. If it was exchanged on the market, it could be exchanged for more than ten rare Parasitic Soul Worms.
However, this thing made Dean a bit tangled. If he wanted to hatch it, he had to pick a suitable new host, and it would take at least a few months for the parasite egg to hatch in the new host body, so he had to carefully raise and take care of the parasite egg during that period.
This matter for a big family like Dragon Family was not a problem. The big family's manpower was plentiful, so they could assign some people to specially take care of the parasite egg.
But Dean was alone. If he gave the responsibility to Sergei or others, it was equivalent to tempting them to commit a crime. After all, it would become a legendary Parasitic Soul Worm. Once they were tempted, not to mention stealing, they would scheme to kill him first because they were afraid he would take revenge.
After experiencing so many things, Dean had a deep understanding of the human heart. The so-called loyalty was just a process of struggling against the desire. Once the struggle failed, what came after was a betrayal.
"Legendary Parasitic Soul Worm... I don't know if it's too extravagant to use it as a nourishment?" Dean muttered to himself. He now had a different kind of emotion, perhaps because he already had a Deification legendary magic mark, he was not that excited or envious when looking at a legendary Parasitic Soul Worm. However, he knew that if this thing was thrown into the Giant Wall, it would cause numerous people to fight over it.
If he used it as the nourishment for his magic mark, it was wasteful like building a house using gold as the bricks.
He thought for a while, and finally, shook his head and endured the temptation in his heart. Bringing back and selling the parasite egg to the Giant Wall, or giving it to his trusted friend for future use, would maximize the value of this parasite egg, but his survival was still a problem right now. He did not know if he would die the next moment, so this kind of thinking was too far away.
After making up his mind, Dean stopped thinking about how to maximize the parasite egg's value. He sealed the parasite egg in the bottle and prepared to find a safe place to absorb it.
He looked around and gave up his intention to find another Shadow Hunter who might be alive. He walked toward the Shadow Hunter eggs, picked one of the eggs and moved it to the cave above.
Once he stabilized the egg, he returned to the hole again and saw an egg-shaped pit on the ground under the egg he had just moved.
Dean frowned slightly and scanned around the nest. "A total of... 37 eggs."
After counting the number of the eggs, he thought that it would not make sense to report all of these eggs to the Dragon Family, after all, it was the eggs of a legendary monster. Although it was a problem to hatch these eggs out of the environment of this nest, if he was lucky, he could at least hatch one or two. It was equivalent to have one or two more legendary Parasitic Soul Worms. This kind of temptation was worth the risk.
"Whether I have private possession or not, the Dragon Family will always doubt me. Even if I don't hide the eggs, they would still think I hid some of the eggs." Dean said to himself, "That is to say, hide or not hide is not important. What's important is not to cross their bottom line."
At the thought of this, he immediately had an estimate and continued to pick the eggs and move them to the cave above.
After picking eight eggs, Dean stopped, returned to the hole, and flatten the egg-shaped pits on the ground, then smeared it with the viscous liquid from the surroundings to make it look like normal ground.
Having finished disguising the scene, Dean looked at the Shadow Hunter's corpse. He decided he would not take it away. If the corpse stayed here, it might give the Dragon Family a feeling that there had been a struggle here. In that case, even if they perceived that he took a few eggs, they had one more reason to let him off.
Whoosh!
He flew out of the hole and looked at the eight white eggs on the ground. He could only hold four simultaneously in his arm, so he had to come back one more time. He picked up four eggs and went out of the cave.
"I have to find a place to hide the eggs. I don't know when these eggs will hatch, and my effort will be in vain if they hatch when I leave." Dean frowned slightly because it was very likely to happen. If he immediately returned to the Dragon Family and reported the matter, it would take him two months to get back to the Wasteland for the second task.
If the second task was in another Wasteland area, he could only find a chance to sneak into the hiding place.
He felt this problem was a little tricky. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to do his best to find a safe place to hide the eggs separately. He only hoped that these Shadow Hunters would not grow so quickly after being hatched.
Whoosh!
He flew out of the cave and saw Martin's corpse as he passed through. He suddenly thought of something and immediately changed his direction to the route which he used to escape before.
Before long, he arrived at the place where Ruby was killed, and he rummaged through the surrounding overgrown weeds.
He soon found Ruby's backpack under the cover of several fallen leaves and immediately untied it. Besides some climbing tools, there were several bottles and cans. Some were therapeutic powders that could stop bleeding, and some were antidotes for poisons. In addition to these, there were three bottles containing three strange-looking worms. When the backpack was untied, the three worms in the bottle were stimulated by the light and slowly wriggled.
Dean was relieved after he finally found it. These three worms were the Corpse Pecker's, the Blood Sender's, and the Wind Listener's Parasitic Soul Worms.
"The Wind Listener's Parasitic Soul Worm is the task item, so leave it for the time being, but the other two worms can be eaten," Dean said in his heart. He loaded the Parasitic Soul Worms and the drugs into his backpack, then he picked up the four white eggs and flew high looking for a suitable hiding place for the eggs.
Flying at high altitude for about half an hour, Dean circled almost the entire ruined city, but he still could not find a good place. The city was almost destroyed completely. Although the basements below the buildings were buried and concealed, he did not want to hide the eggs there, because when the Dragon Guards came out to perform a task, they like to live in such a basement in the night to avoid the monsters.
Moreover, the concrete of the basement was so weak it was on the verge of collapsing, so he could not use it to confine the hatched Shadow Hunters.
Dean frowned and continued to search around. Suddenly, at the end of his vision, he saw a stumbling figure on the desolate and broken street. It was Haisha.
At the moment, her hair was a little messy, and the delicate armor on her body was stained with a lot of dust and blood; some parts were damaged. From the way she walked, her injury seemed to be too heavy to the point she could not walk normally.
