Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 80 - The Golden Egg

Formations were something she had encountered many times in her previous life while robbing tombs.

Every expert with some respect for themselves would put up a few formations to protect their legacy. Only if someone was strong enough did they deserve to inherit their lives work.

Bai Rouyun could not help but wonder if there was a tomb placed in this forest, since there was a formation. Although nature sometimes created natural formations, they were extremely rare.

Bai Rouyun was not sure whether this was created by a human or by nature, but she was leaning towards human-made. It was simply too difficult to come across a nature-made formation.

Looking around, Bai Rouyun was alert. It was clear that she could not leave the formation by backtracking, as she had already tried this, so her only option was to move forward.

Although she could move forward, she was aware that many traps and dangers could lurk in the dark.

The tranquil forest was silent. Not even the sound of insects could be heard. Bai Rouyun had thought that it would be a calm trip through the forest, and that she would easily win the Immemorial Chamomile, but now she was wondering if she had jinxed herself. She was even caught in a formation!

Shaking her head, Bai Rouyun could only smile wryly and slowly advance further into the clearing. There was nothing in the middle of the clearing apart from a lake and some lush green grass.

Looking around, Bai Rouyun seemed to notice that everything centered around the lake, so she moved towards it at a slow speed.

There were no traps, no dangers, but this made her even more alert. The lack of sounds and danger made her fear that something even worse would happen soon.

She reached the shore of the lake, and when she looked into it, she noticed that the water was crystal clear. She could see the bottom of the lake, every plant, and the lack of living beings within.

The lake was large, but not to the point that she could not see the other shore. She looked down in the middle of the lake, and her brows furrowed.

There, in the middle of the lake, was an egg. The eggshell was golden, and the egg was rather small, but it seemed like it was the only thing that was lying within the sandy bottom of the lake.

Looking at the egg, Bai Rouyun hesitated. She wanted the egg, was curious about it, and felt a bit of excitement, but upon closer consideration, she knew that this could easily be a trap.

However, danger and opportunity coexisted, and she knew that it was possible to benefit greatly, but also lose her life in the process.

Bai Rouyun found a small stone and tossed it into the water, a plopping sound could be heard, but nothing happened. It was as silent and tranquil as before.

Taking her finger, she poked the water, but nothing happened; she then straightened her back, and began walking into the water.

The water was cool but not cold. It felt comfortable as it wrapped itself around Bai Rouyun’s body, and she could not help but wonder what was happening to her.

There were no traps, no dangers either. The only thing the formation did was to ensure that she did not walk away. This kind of formation was simply too strange.

But since she could not retreat, she could only boldly advance. Her eyes were full of curiosity as she dove into the water and tried to swim to the bottom.

The further down she got, the more peculiar she felt. There was a strange calmness in the water that made her feel comfortable and at ease.

She was a good swimmer, and she arrived next to the egg after a few moments. She reached out her hand and touched the egg in front of her.

On the connecting point where her hand touched the egg, a strange heatwave shot into her body, and she suddenly felt relaxed and much better than she had felt before. Every worry and discomfort she had felt slowly ebbed away.

She grasped the egg with her hands and began swimming to the surface of the water.

She had initially thought that the egg would be the center of the formation and that it would be impossible to move, but it was light as a feather as it laid in her hand.

It was not at all a challenge to move it, and when she reached the shore, she felt how her body was still light, the heat from the egg continued to pour into her body.

As she sat on the shore, she turned the egg in her hands, looking at it curiously. She knew that there was a living being inside the egg. Otherwise, it would not be able to release such heat.

But what kind of beast was it? By looking at the egg, she knew that the formation around her had been created by nature to protect the egg, but how come it was so simple?

Was there something about the formation that she did not know? She could not think of anything, but she did not have extensive knowledge about formations, only some basic knowledge she had gotten after being trapped in them numerous times.

When she looked at the egg, it was hard for Bai Rouyun to contain the excitement in her heart. Although she had been trapped in the formation, she did not even mind if she could not get her hands on the Immemorial Chamomile anymore. This egg was, without a doubt, a much more valuable treasure.
