Hearing Ian's words, Du Dian was slightly stunned, and got up to look.
Martin, Ruby and others also approached.
I saw that this white egg that was affected and scratched by the previous battle was filled with amniotic fluid-like liquid, which was turbid in color and extremely viscous, and it slowly overflowed from the ruptured place.
Wrapped in this mucus is a small strange beast that is about the size of a human baby and looks extremely weird. It looks like a mixture of limbs from various beasts. The overall shape is like a crawling lizard with a curly long tail. , but there are seven or eight tiny three-legged calves on the abdomen, and two raised bony spurs on the back. There is a small hole in the middle of the bony spurs, which seems to be used for breathing.
Its head is triangular, a bit like a snake's head, but much larger than a snake's head. It is covered with delicate fleshy scales, and its body is translucent, as if it is still gestating.
Du Dian stared, the body shape of this little strange beast is indeed very different from that of the wind listener, although the wind listener seen in the cave above is already in the mature stage, and it has changed a lot from the gestation stage. But there are some similarities. Moreover, he had seen in the monster atlas that the gestation form of the wind listener and the form of the cub stage were completely different from the little thing in front of him.
After Martin saw the appearance of this thing, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This is indeed not the Listener. We may have strayed into the lair of other monsters by mistake."
"Other monster lairs?" Ruby was slightly taken aback.
Ian stared at the little monster in the white egg, and after hearing Martin's words, an ominous premonition surged in his heart. Suddenly, he saw the tail of this curled up little thing flicked slightly, the amplitude was extremely slight, as if it was an illusion, but he looked very carefully, and it was definitely not the illusion of his own eyes. He immediately raised his hand, signaling everyone to take a step back, and said, "It's still alive."
Du Dian also noticed this, stepped back a few steps, and kept a distance from Ian and others, not only to avoid suspicion, but also to guard against their sudden attack.
"Alive?" Luna froze for a moment, suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and said, "This thing doesn't seem to be recorded in the monster atlas, and it is probably a brand-new mutated monster. If we bring it back, it will definitely You will be rewarded handsomely!"
Hearing her words, Ian and the others felt their hearts move, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.
Martin was calmer, and said in a low voice: "I think we need to figure out why there are other monster eggs buried at the bottom of the wind listener's lair, and there are so many eggs, obviously they didn't come out at one time. Things don't look like the pups of corpsepeckers and bloodstrippers, unless..."
Ian immediately understood, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Unless this is the lair of other monsters?"
Martin nodded solemnly, "That's right, don't forget about the big guy above us. Our previous speculation was probably wrong. It didn't come to hunt the Wind Listener, but instead hunted the Wind Listener and the Wind Listener a long time ago." The bloodsucker was captured and imprisoned in his own lair, preparing to use it as food for his newborn child, as for the corpse pecker he met at the foot of the mountain, he was probably lucky enough to escape."
Ruby, Luna, and Rosemary looked at each other in shock and disbelief.
Luna couldn't help but said: "According to what you said, isn't that big guy up there much more terrifying than the listener?"
Martin looked gloomy and noncommittal.
Ruby said: "According to what you said, why did that thing sleep on it, but not come here? We are in its lair, so it can still sleep?"
"This is also what I can't figure out." Martin frowned.
Ian thought about it: "Maybe there is another possibility, that is, other monsters dug another lair at the bottom of the Wind Listener's lair, using the Wind Hearer's lair to protect their lair from other monsters. Monsters hunt eggs.
"
Martin and the others were taken aback for a moment, feeling a little dazed.
"It's possible." Martin nodded.
Ruby said: "So, that monster will come here again? In that case, don't we just have to wait here, wait for it to come, kill it, and follow the passage it dug out?"
"If that's the case, there's no need to go up there," said Rosemary.
Du Dian watched coldly from the sidelines. Seeing that several people believed Ian's guess, he said, "That may not be the case."
"Huh?" Ian and the others looked over, with a trace of warning in their eyes.
Du Dian directly raised his doubts, saying: "If other monsters sneaked in here to bury their eggs, how could the deepest part of the Wind Listener's lair be right here?"
Ian and the others were startled and looked at each other.
"This..." Ruby opened his mouth slightly, wanting to refute, but couldn't speak.
Luna on the side suddenly said: "Maybe the listener noticed this, so he dug his cave deeper, but it was killed before digging the hatching nest."
"Well, it's possible." Ian nodded.
Du Dian frowned slightly. Indeed, there were no obvious loopholes in Luna's statement, which made him unable to refute it. However, he still couldn't agree with this in his heart, and always felt that some information was missing.
Martin said to Ian: "Let's take out this little monster first, and find a way to bring it back."
Ian nodded slightly, and said to Ruby next to him, "Eat all your supplies and empty your bags."
"No problem, just wait for a while." Ruby agreed, took off the rucksack, took out the food inside and ate it in big mouthfuls. He had already eaten too much food before the mission, and the savings in his body reached Saturated, but a lot was consumed in the previous battle with the Corpse Pecker, so it can be replenished again.
In the stuffy cave, the only sound left was the sound of Ruby chewing food.
Ian and the others stood in front of the cracked white egg, observing the little monster.
Du Dian stood alone on the other side, looking around, looking for the missing information. Suddenly, from the corner of his sight, he saw a white egg lying slightly sideways beside a darker group of white eggs, which was different from the other eggs standing upright around it.
He frowned slightly, and without knowing why, he instinctively took a few steps forward with the thought of finding out, bent down to look, and was stunned at the sight.
I saw a hole was broken on the side of this white egg, and it was empty inside the hole!
No slime, no gremlins, nothing!
After being startled for a moment, he suddenly came to his senses, a chill appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Everyone, be careful, there is—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a scream.
