Shen Jiayi remained confused, even after she gave it some more thought.

Shen Yanxiao examined the situation in the cave, and as she looked up, she saw the twins looked at her with some weird expressions on their faces. After they stared at her for a brief moment, they finally retracted their gaze.

Shen Yanxiao could not figure out what was wrong with those two kids, but she was too lazy to think about that.

After she broke through to the sixth rank at Xiu’s pressure, she could withstand the high temperature, and so she was unaware of the anomaly in her situation. Since she entered the cave, she had not felt any discomfort, and she a.s.sumed that it was the effect of the ice silk armor that she had worn. She did not think that it had anything to do with the level of her magic.

The long road seemed endless, and even with the light crystals’ illumination, Shen Yifeng and the others walked cautiously as it was their first time at the Vermilion Bird’s nest. They followed the sage closely from behind as if they feared that something would jump out and attack them if they stood too far away.

Shen Yanxiao inwardly laughed as she looked at the quail-like third-generation disciples of the Vermilion Bird Family.

Finally, after they had walked in the narrow pa.s.sage for what seemed like a long time, they pa.s.sed through the tunnel and came to a s.p.a.cious cave.

They then brightened the entire cave with about twenty light crystals.

Under the light crystal’s illumination, everything in the cave appeared before them.

A pitch-black stone pillar extended from the bottom of the cave to its summit and on the thick stone pillar that was the size of ten adult men’s waist, dark-red drawings could be seen. Beneath the stone pillar, there was a huge obsidian stone, and on top of that was an egg the size of a human head.

Yes, it was an egg!

The egg had a sh.e.l.l with different shades of color and also a life-like image of a flame. A portion of the egg was embedded into the solid black obsidian stone, and there were fracture lines that spread from the bottom of the egg to the entire rock.

The instant Shen Yifeng saw the Vermilion Bird egg, his heart started to beat wildly, and he could not s.h.i.+ft his gaze away from it.

Powerful fire element flooded the entire cave, and they could feel the heat as it poured into their chest with every breath they took. Even those who had broken through to the sixth rank could not resist the invasion of the tyrannical fire element.

The fire element choked Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei as they inhaled it, to the extent that their eyes had reddened. However, they could not bear to s.h.i.+ft their gaze away from the Vermilion Bird.

“This is the Vermilion Bird?” Shen Yifeng sounded uncertain as he asked the sage. He had looked across the whole cave, and only that egg seemed to be related to the Vermilion Bird.

The sage smiled and nodded. It seemed like the powerful fire element did not cause him any discomfort.

The Vermilion Bird that had slumbered for hundreds of years and once brought supreme glory to the Vermilion Bird Family had finally appeared again.

An egg…

As she stood behind everyone else, Shen Yanxiao looked at the valiant-looking egg silently. No one would be able to guess how hard she had inwardly laughed at that situation.

She finally understood why the Vermilion Bird made so much effort to clear such a big area for its nest. The mythical beast’s dormant appearance was an egg! If some ignorant magical beasts had found it and ate it because they thought that it was an ordinary egg, she wondered if the Vermilion Bird would still remain in its dreamland while it was in the magical beast’s stomach.

Even though the egg had a compelling aura, but ultimately, it was still an egg!
