There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 338 The Untrustworthy Ya Zi

After being kicked away by the four-legged beast, Bai Chen took a long time to recover.

That means he's fully developed now; otherwise, if he were still a yolk, he probably would have been kicked and the yolk would have been broken apart.

"Uncle Qilin's hooves are really powerful. I don't know where they kicked me from."

Bai Chen scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and, upon seeing the shelves and the various items displayed on them, immediately realized that he was currently in the warehouse of the Deer Man Shop.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry. If I had waited until I was more familiar with Uncle Qilin and the others before asking for divine power, I might not have been kicked away."

Just as Bai Chen was thinking about how to get out, an impatient voice entered his mind.

"I thought a new cellmate had arrived, but it turns out it was just an egg. What a waste of my excitement."

"Damn that heartless boss, I'm going to smash this lousy shop when I get out of here."

"Damn it, is there anyone who can save me? Am I going to be locked up in this wretched place for the rest of my life?"

……

Hearing the commotion around him, Bai Chen scanned the warehouse with his divine sense, puzzled.

He quickly noticed something different: on a shelf next to him was a glass bottle containing a dried-up black worm.

"Was it you, you insect, who was talking just now?" Bai Chen asked with a questioning tone. If he hadn't sensed the life force on the other party, he probably would have thought it was a specimen of the Qilin.

On the other side, Ya Zi became excited upon hearing Bai Chen's voice.

He bought a sword online, which was supposed to be a metal weapon used by Chi You, but when it arrived, it was like an ice cream stick and he couldn't even wield it.

Enraged, he went to the shop owner to argue with him offline, but instead he was locked in a bottle and left in this dark warehouse for several years.

Finally, someone has found him. Although he's an egg, at least he can communicate with it, and maybe that can help him escape.

"Huh? Did I see wrong? Wasn't it this bug talking to me just now?"

Because Ya Zi was lost in memories, he neglected Bai Chen, which Bai Chen perceived as the other party not wanting him.

Bai Chen decided not to think too much about it. Since you're ignoring me, I'll ignore you too.

Besides, it would be better to use that time to calm down and refine the divine power absorbed from the Qilin, and strive to break out of its shell as soon as possible.

With the experience provided by Di Ting and Qing Huo, refining the divine power of other divine beasts was a piece of cake for Bai Chen.

Bai Chen quickly finished refining the Qilin's divine power, but he was not satisfied with the result.

Judging from the results, although the quantity of the Qilin's divine power was decent, its quality was too poor, far inferior to the power of the Bixie.

When Bixie swatted Bai Chen away to save the Qilin, Bai Chen instinctively absorbed a wisp of Bixie's divine power.

Bai Chen didn't take it seriously at first, since it was just a wisp of divine power, but the result was that this wisp of divine power that warded off evil was far more helpful to Bai Chen than the Qilin.

"As expected, the choice of divine power should be ancient divine beasts like Uncle Bixie. They live a long time and can fight. But let's forget about Uncle Bixie. We should go find Uncle Tianlu and my father and mother."

Although Bi Xie's divine power was more effective, Bai Chen dared not face Bi Xie again. It could be said that Bi Xie's slap had left Bai Chen with a deep-seated trauma, and it would probably take him a long time to recover.

However, it's too early to talk about that now. Bai Chen is currently in the warehouse, and there isn't a single person in sight. Where would he find any divine power to absorb?

As for when people find him, they can tell how long it has been since anyone has been to the warehouse just by looking at the thin layer of dust around him.

"Forget it, I'll just make some noise to attract my uncles' attention."

Just as Bai Chen was pondering how to lure the four unlike creatures over, Ya Zi's side made a move.

Ya Zi kept tapping the glass ball, making a loud banging sound to attract Bai Chen's attention.

Bai Chen, whose thoughts were interrupted by Ya Zi, said impatiently, "Stop filming, it's too noisy."

Seeing that Bai Chen was attracted by his commotion, Ya Zi arrogantly said, "Kid, I'll give you a chance today. As long as you find a way to let me out, I'll protect you after you hatch. I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."

"???" Bai Chen was a little confused. He was out of touch with the times. Even insects were so arrogant these days.

Bai Chen retorted without hesitation, "Since when have insects dared to talk to me like that? Believe me, the first thing I'll do when I get out is eat you!"

"Who are you calling an insect?!" Ya Zi was furious, and his dry face even turned a little red.

But the thought of needing Bai Chen's help later forced Ya Zi to swallow his anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "My name is Ya Zi, not 'insect'!!!"

"Oh, and then?" Bai Chen said indifferently.

"Hey, let's talk. I see you can talk even when you're still a kid, so you must be pretty capable. You find a way to let me out, and I'll definitely get my revenge, pfft... to repay you."

Ya Zi suppressed his excitement, thinking that just because this egg dared to call him a bug, he would definitely get his revenge once he was free.

We'll first ask his brother for help to smash up the unscrupulous boss's shop, and then roast this egg that he calls a worm.

Although Bai Chen possessed some wisdom, it was not much. Moreover, he had not yet experienced the wickedness of human nature. Upon hearing Ya Zi's suggestion, he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that things were going well, Ya Zi tried to persuade Bai Chen to trust him again.

Under Ya Zi's constant persuasion, Bai Chen couldn't help but be tempted. He thought that although Ya Zi was ugly, he was still a dragon prince, so his credibility should be reliable.

"Alright, tell me how I can save you. As you can see, I haven't hatched yet, so I can't help much."

Seeing the fish take the bait, Ya Zi was overjoyed: What a silly boy, today I'll teach you a lesson.

After calming his excited heart, Ya Zi said, "Young master, I saw you were cultivating just now. You are truly gifted. I wonder if you could find a way to get some water in. As long as I drink some water, this seal will be a piece of cake for me."

"This..." Bai Chen hesitated. He had not yet hatched, although he could communicate with the outside world through his divine sense.

But conjuring water out of thin air is still a bit difficult for him; he'll probably fall into a deep sleep afterward.

However, in order to leave the warehouse as soon as possible and find his parents in this era to freeload, Bai Chen gritted his teeth and agreed to Ya Zi's offer, going all in.

"The universe is vast and boundless, its spiritual energy is radiant. The incantation draws upon the essence of heaven, transforming water into form."

As Bai Chen chanted the incantation, the limited divine power within his body was instantly drawn out, and water appeared out of thin air in the bottle imprisoning Ya Zi.

Bai Chen felt incredibly exhausted and had to fall into a deep sleep, while Ya Zi on the other side felt extremely refreshed as his withered body began to recover.

"Hahaha, I'm free!"

With a slight exertion, Ya Zi shattered the bottle that had been seemingly indestructible to him.

Once free, Yazi didn't even glance at the dimmed eggs on the ground; with a flick of its tail, it flew away.

Shortly after Ya Zi left, the warehouse door was pushed open, and Walnut tiptoed in. After searching the warehouse for a while, he dragged a barbecue grill and prepared to leave.

But then Walnut suddenly noticed an egg on the ground and tilted his head in confusion: "That's strange, where did this egg come from? Oh well, I'll take it back and make a barbecue with my godfather."

Walnut thought that perhaps the animals in the mountains had made the barn their home, which is why they laid an egg there, which was a good thing for him.

Walnut used its two tails to pick up the egg and dragged the barbecue grill away with it in its mouth.
