An egg. ↖,
Yes, what Goron found was a super giant hell salamander egg that was nearly one meter tall and weighed two to three hundred kilograms.
According to epic records, the hell salamander should be a mutated product of the six-legged demon lizard that inhabits rainforests and swamps and adapted to the environment of the hell abyss. So he guessed that the habits of the hell salamander might be similar to the six-legged demon lizard.
Although the six-legged demon lizard likes to live in humid and dark environments, this high-level demonic beast is actually extremely adaptable to the living environment, and there are a few subspecies distributed throughout the Dota Continent. In addition to the characteristics that are conducive to survival, such as its strong strength, broad and unfussy diet, and its ability to fall into suspended animation when the living environment is too harsh, the six-legged demon lizard's breeding habits are also unique.
As a high-level monster, the six-legged demon lizard cannot rely on breeding a huge number of fertilized eggs to ensure the survival probability of its offspring like lower-level creatures. On the contrary, it often takes decades for the six-legged devil lizard to lay an egg, so it will naturally protect the egg strictly. The six-legged lizard will bury the egg underground and use low temperatures and several years to hatch it naturally.
The point is that they will not bury the eggs in their own nests, but will bury them under an open space within their sight, so that even if they accidentally leave the nest to look for food or encounter strong natural enemies, they will have no time to care about them. At this time, this egg will not be easily found by those with malicious intentions. After all, the space inside the lair is very limited, and it's easy to guess where things will be hidden. However, the open space within sight is much larger. It is not easy to rummage inch by inch under the nose of the six-legged demon lizard, and the lair itself will also exude the aura of the six-legged demon lizard. Creatures that are not confident in defeating the six-legged demon lizard will not easily approach its nest. This also avoids the possibility of important eggs being accidentally discovered by other creatures when the owner is away.
What's more, there are very few people who know the strange habits of the six-legged demon lizard. If it weren't for Hakulili hiding in a dark place and waiting for several days. Then she happened to see her (his) prey, a female six-legged demon lizard that had just laid eggs, burying the eggs outside the cave. She didn't know about it, and later she regarded it as a story and told it to her (his) brother.
Gron tapped the eggshell lightly, and it actually made a deep and clear sound like hitting metal armor. Gron's hand-made egg dishes range from a thousand to eight hundred. You can tell whether the ingredients are fresh by hearing it, and you immediately know the quality of the egg. The incubation time shouldn't be long, and the contents haven't formed into anything shapely yet. It suddenly smiled, and at least seven cooking plans naturally appeared in its mind. The most important thing now is how to bring this egg back to the Elf Map. This egg is as big as a heavy oak barrel used by dwarves to brew dark beer. It is two or three times thicker than a gorung. It is completely impossible to put it into the tattoo. If you want to transport it, you can only carry it on your back. on the back.
Time is tight, the one-eyed giant monster may return at any time, and there may not be only one hell salamander in this lair. The most important thing is that the elf girl Luna can't hold on for much longer. Gronn quickly found a few flexible dead branches with some toughness nearby, bound the dome a few times, and prepared to put it on his back. But at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a dazzling reflection in the large pit in front of him.
The soil in the Hell Abyss is barren, rough and has a single composition. Before this, Goron had never seen anything reflective like raw mineral stones. But this is no illusion. His heart moved, and after a moment of hesitation, he put the dome down again and jumped back into the pit. With a few flips of his hands, he dug out from the soil a small box the size of a human head that looked quite ancient. The box is of wooden construction. The corners are wrapped with thick black metal strips for reinforcement, and the lid is on the box. It is a metal coat of arms with a simple structure, but reveals a sense of vicissitudes of time.
Time was running out, and Goron no longer had the intention to study it carefully. Fortunately, the box was not too big, so Goron pressed the entire box on the skin of his chest, compressing it from a three-dimensional to a flat surface.
A moment later, Gronn, carrying a huge lizard egg on his back, had returned to the elf girl. Fortunately, there were no accidents on his way back. The weak Luna Moon Shadow was still lying there quietly, but looking at her breathless look, it was obvious that she might take her last breath at any time.
Gron didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly took out a small knife and stabbed it at the eggshell. As a result, there was a muffled sound of "pounce". Not only did the knife fail to penetrate, but under Gron's huge power, the dagger's blade The tip was completely bent into a ball, leaving only a small white scratch on the eggshell.
After all, this is the magic egg of a fifth-level hell creature. The environment of the Hell Abyss is a hundred times worse than that of the Blade Tower Continent. It seems that in order to adapt to this environment, the six-legged demon lizard has once again undergone corresponding evolutionary mutations to strengthen the defense capabilities of the fertilized eggs. Gron was not much surprised by this. He took out the saint's leg stick with his backhand and struck it again with 20 to 30% more strength. Although the outside of the saint's leg stick is wrapped with a layer of voodoo-refined human skin, which looks no different from the real person's thigh that has just been cut off, the inside is made of a mysterious metal of unknown material but extremely hard. This stick strikes As expected, large cracks were created when he went down. Gronn controlled his strength and was careful not to smash the egg all at once, which would make it difficult to clean up.
Goron peeled off the eggshell piece by piece along the cracks, and then saw the milky white and transparent egg membrane. Under this flexible membrane, a thick liquid that seemed to be alive was slowly squirming. Unsurprisingly, this layer of film is very flexible, and it is probably difficult to pierce with a sharp knife. However, this is still not a problem for Gron. Even if he doesn't have anything sharp enough at hand, he still has a weapon that can chew the skull of a monster. The iron teeth that have been eaten all over the world, after biting through the membrane coating in a few times, the fragrant egg white immediately flows out. This egg white exudes a rich and extremely fragrant aroma. Although it is extremely viscous, it is as transparent and clear as a clear spring. The dim red light shed by the lava sky actually reflects a charming luster like crystal. Although Goron had never been hungry recently, after seeing this delicious food with his own eyes, his unsatisfactory stomach couldn't help but scream a few times.
Gently lifting up the weak elf, Goron brought the eggshell fragment containing a little egg white close to her lips, and then slowly poured it over. The moment the elf girl's dry and cracked lips came into contact with the egg white mucus. Just like the earth moistened by drizzle, the pale and chapped lips instantly regained their luster. At first, the few mouthfuls of egg white flowed slowly and naturally down the elf's throat. But later on, the elf's throat had very obvious swallowing movements. Her lips were smacking gently, and she could tell that the food was very sweet. After continuously feeding her some egg whites, Luna Moon Shadow's head was able to move on its own. Only then did Gronn feel relieved, knowing that this troublesome girl's life was finally saved.
The elves' stomachs are notoriously difficult to take care of, and Luna Moon Shadow had been hungry for too long. Gronn did not dare to feed her at once, so he put the already much better-looking elf back into the cave. . Then Goron started to worry when he looked at the huge lizard egg. This thing looked very big. The actual weight is more than two tons. Although this is a good thing, at least the smart map does not have to worry about food for a while, but how to store and place it has become a thorny issue. The environment of the Hell Abyss is hot and dry. The key is that the air here has strong demonic and corrosive capabilities. I am afraid that it will not be long before the lizard egg that has opened its mouth will become smelly or dried out.
No one knows how to handle ingredients better than the "chef", and Goron soon had a specific solution. He first removed a few pieces of intact egg membrane. Carefully shape it into four giant translucent water bladders. This egg membrane can effectively prevent the corrosion of the miasma of the Hell Abyss, and is as flexible as enchanted leather armor. The only drawback is that it has a certain vitality, which will gradually evaporate over time after the egg is broken. When their vitality is exhausted, they rot and disintegrate.
Fortunately, after Goron tried to use the shaman's magical healing wave on the egg membrane, he was surprised to find that it could temporarily replenish this vitality. As long as you release intermediate treatment waves on it from time to time, you can keep the egg membrane active. So it became the best material for making fresh-keeping water bags. Gron even plans to make clothes from the remaining egg membranes to ensure freshness and breathability. And the defense is pretty good too. It's just that its transparent texture is a little troublesome, and it's difficult to "cover the body" when worn on the body.
Egg white is clear and fragrant and can be used as a substitute for drinking water. After putting it into the water bag, there was still a lot left. After a few mouthfuls, Goron felt very comfortable, so he put the rest of the egg white into large and small eggshells for later use. At this time, only gold was left in the eggshell. The yellow egg yolk, Goron reached in and took out the egg yolk. When he started to take it, he realized that this thing the size of a human head was actually very flexible and elastic. Even if he held it in his hand, it could maintain its shape like a ball. His wrist shook. You can still feel the obvious bounce when using it, and it feels great in your hand.
Looking at the yolk, through the transparent membrane, and at the golden liquid full of vitality inside, Gron seemed to be possessed. The next moment, he couldn't hold it in any longer and bit into it. After tearing open the gap, Gron suddenly felt that a viscous liquid that was a thousand times richer than egg white poured directly into the throat, followed the esophagus and entered the intestines and stomach. At the same time, Gron actually felt every cell in the body. After cheering, his skin instantly turned pale, and his hair burned like flames. Gronn actually showed the unique physical signs of the Man-Eating King Kong. Fortunately, his size did not become larger, and the abnormalities on his body quickly disappeared. .
The whole egg yolk was sucked dry by Goron in one gulp. He closed his eyes and indulged in the incomparable comfort. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the world in front of him suddenly became much "cuter" and hot. The air no longer smells pungent when inhaled into the nasal cavity, and the surrounding temperature seems to have dropped a few degrees, just like going from the sweltering heat of midsummer to the refreshing breeze of early autumn...
The abyss of hell remains unchanged forever, so of course it cannot be the world that changes, it can only be Gron itself. After eating the egg yolk of the hell salamander, Gron finally began to adapt to this world. Not only that, Goron can also feel that many beneficial changes have taken place in his body. The most obvious is that his mental power has been strengthened a lot. After originally performing four to five intermediate treatment waves, or carrying After the magic missile is filled with the magic weapon enchantment, you will have a splitting headache, but now even after injecting vitality into all the egg membranes, Goron still feels that his mental power is at ease, and he can clearly feel the mental power. Naturally recovering at several times the previous speed.
After all, the Hell Salamander is a fifth-level hell creature. If it is summoned by a demon warlock or appears on the Blade Tower Continent through the Gate of Hell, it will be difficult for ordinary fifth-level war kings to match it, and it often requires the deployment of legion-level combat power. Attack it. Even the Hell Salamander killed by the Cyclops, judging from the "freshness" of the lizard egg, it should still be in its postpartum period of weakness, and its strength is less than half of its peak. Otherwise, the outcome of the battle may not be possible. Will also be rewritten. The egg yolk eaten by Gronn is the most precious essence of this hellish creature. It would be strange if the body did not change. (To be continued...)
