I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Novel - Chapter 129
Chapter 129: Openness
“No, no, no. Don’t swing that knife again—”
Seeing Feng Xia’s actions, the metal egg looked like it was about to turn green. “If you hit me again…”
Feng Xia said, “Yes?”
“…If you hit me… hit me again, I’m afraid it’s really going to be a difficult birth! I accidentally fell into a trap and the eggshell will only become harder and harder. If I still can’t get out, I’ll end up being stillborn!”
!!
The metal egg version 2.0 instantly changed its tone of voice.
Feng Xia raised his eyebrows. Based on what he could conclude from beating up the egg just now, it was indeed like what the metal egg said. If he opened up this fellow’s shell a few more times, it would probably be impossible for it to be born in this lifetime!
“But you still haven’t said…”
After thinking for a while, Feng Xia smiled and said, “What are you doing here?”
His smile was like a spring breeze and like sunlight shining down. However, the moment the metal egg saw the smile, it shivered for no reason.
“When this guy smiles… he’s so sinister!”
As an unsettling thought flashed across its mind, the metal egg cleared its throat and chuckled. “Fellow practitioner, you might not know this, but I’m just an ordinary demon beast egg. I only had my intelligence awakened in advance because of some accidents. What I said just now was actually a joke…”
“So it was a joke.” Feng Xia raised his hand and laughed, a look of sudden realization on his face. “Here I am, thinking you are some kind of descendant of the Azure Dragon. It seems like I’m overthinking.”
“!!”
“And the Ancestral Dragon Great Breath…”
“Who… who are you!!”
Feng Xia continued speaking with a smile. At first glance, he looked like he was chatting happily with an old friend. However, this simple sentence gave the metal egg a feeling of endless horror.
By right, that was a top secret buried in its heart. Even its mother in this life, the lord-level green python, knew nothing about it!
However, at this moment, its greatest secret in this life had come out of a human’s mouth!
“Who am I?”
Feng Xia raised his hand and drew a sword flower. He smiled calmly and said, “Fellow practitioner, you should have an idea, right?”
Right at the back of his head, a dim and indeterminate Mystical Wheel appeared, supporting a vast expanse of primeval atmosphere. In the primeval atmosphere, three green lotuses bloomed, and on each green lotus stood a golden platform.
In the eyes of others, although Feng Xia still had an ordinary appearance, he was like a deity in the primeval atmosphere. Every move he made seemed to have the supreme divine power to open Yin and Yang and the world, and to fix the three talents and four symbols!
In the next moment, Feng Xia’s sharp vision caught a glimpse of the shrunken metal egg version 2.0 trembling violently.
“Dao… Dao One Wheel?”
He trembled as if he had been electrocuted and hissed in disbelief, “No, it’s impossible… I must have seen it wrongly… It can’t be Dao One Wheel…”
“In the current world… it’s impossible for anyone to be able to activate the Dao One Wheel…”
All of a sudden, many thoughts flashed through the metal egg’s mind. He already had a vague guess about Feng Xia’s background. “Even if it’s not the Dao One Wheel, this person’s background must be extraordinary. I can’t even see through the power of that strange butcher knife!”
“Can it be that this person has the same goal as me?”
“Impossible. Logically speaking, it’s definitely impossible. Even for me, I only found this world by chance!”
“It should just be a coincidence!”
Metal egg version 2.0 jumped a few times and sized Feng Xia up warily before saying slowly, “Fellow practitioner, since we both have the same goal, can you do me a favor?”
Feng Xia frowned slightly when he heard this short sentence which seemed to have an underlying element of attacking while retreating.
He had tested the other party with his words, and it was obvious that the other party was also testing him.
The two of them spoke a great deal of nonsense, but in the end… they did not gain any useful information at all!
“Heh, fellow egg practitioner, you can’t continue to wrangle like this.”
The corners of Feng Xia’s mouth twitched as he revealed a sincere and kind smile. “Since we’ve met by chance, why don’t we tell each other our names first? At least we can then have some understanding of each other. My name is Wu Yanzu. People usually call me Gu Tianle. May I know how to address you?”
“Wu Yanzu?”
The metal egg jumped a few times and nodded thoughtfully.
No matter how he searched through his memories, he could not recall any expert with the surname Wu in the outside world who had disappeared in recent years. “Can it be that my guess is wrong? No, ‘Wu Yanzu’ is most likely a fake name. In that case, ‘Gu Tianle’ might be his real name…”
He thought for a moment before continuing, “Fellow practitioner Wu Yanzu, I’m Long Da.”
Feng Xia frowned. “Long Big?”
The metal egg jumped. “It’s Long Da! Not Long Big!”
Feng Xia seemed enlightened. “I see. Can it be that you’re the eldest in the family, so you’re called Long Big?”
“My name is…” The metal egg had just jumped three feet high when he caught a glimpse of the rusty butcher knife in Feng Xia’s hand. He immediately changed his tone of voice. “My name is Long Da, not Long Big. I’m the second son in my family. The eldest son’s name is Long Qingxuan.”
Why are all your names so flashy?
Feng Xia silently complained in his heart. After that, Long Da repeatedly gestured a few times before Feng Xia finally understood how the word was written.
At that time, Feng Xia only had one thought—fortunately, there were supernatural powers in the alternate world. Otherwise, when this child needed to sign his name, he would probably hate his parents to death…
“Why isn’t the eldest son called Long Dada?”
Feng Xia could not help but shake his head in amusement.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words left his mouth, Long Da quivered once more. “You… how did you know that the eldest son… was called Long Dada before he changed his name!?”
Feng Xia said nothing. “…”
Not only do I know that the eldest son used to be called Long Dada, but I also seem to know why he changed his name…
Feng Xia pursed his lips speechlessly and stood upright with his sword. He smiled again and said, “In any case, I’m considered half the master of this place. If fellow practitioner Long needs anything, you can tell me. Perhaps you can get some enlightenment this way too.”
“This guy still hasn’t given up on probing!”
Long Da swayed as he thought to himself, ‘But then again, I do need a helper. Since this fellow is willing to be a laborer, it’s not a bad idea to trick him into coming with me…’
As he thought of this, Long Da chuckled and flew in front of Feng Xia.
“Fellow practitioner, have you heard of the legend of the ‘Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor’?”
—Of course not.
Feng Xia did not say this out loud. Instead, he nodded slightly mysteriously and said with a light smile, “Supreme one, the one above all.”
—This was from Baidu Baike.
“As expected, you know it!”
The metal egg was overjoyed. “That’s much more convenient! Fellow practitioner, let me explain it in detail. There are rumors about the tomb of the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor…”
…
