But its dark face showed surprise, "However, how did this fellow turn into an egg?"
Huangfu Chenyi did not discuss this topic with it. As long as he knew that this egg was what he was looking for, it was enough.
He extended a hand, wearing gloves made of an unknown material, covered with strange and profound incantations.
He slowly reached out towards the giant black egg.
"Wait!"
Die Jia shouted, stopping him.
Huangfu Chenyi looked at him in confusion.
Die Jia surveyed the surroundings of the giant black egg again and said solemnly, "There is a mysterious seal around the egg. This is that fellow's usual tactic!"
"Mysterious seal?"
Huangfu Chenyi was slightly startled.
"That's right, in other words, that fellow cast a defensive skill in advance!" He paused, his gaze becoming serious, no longer as flippant as before.
"Although I don't know what it has experienced, something big must have happened in the Star Domain!"
Huangfu Chenyi was drawn in by his words.
He said in a deep voice, "I've asked you many times why you came here, but you've never answered my question directly."
Hmm? Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and he perked up his ears, feeling that there would be a pleasant surprise.
"Uh... uh..." Die Jia gave a few awkward laughs: "Hehehe... I'll naturally tell you later, cough cough... let's get back to the point."
Huangfu Chenyi snorted and proudly flicked his sleeve.
"Then have you thought of a way to break this seal? We went through so much trouble to find its whereabouts, we can't go back empty-handed!"
"I'll try."
Saying that, Die Jia's black figure slowly landed. A trace of mottled color began to appear on its body from its feet, gradually covering its entire body. Its originally dark body finally showed colors and clear features.
Lu Fei saw some edges through the gaps of the altar and was captivated by this scene.
He stared intently.
The next moment.
He was dumbfounded.
This... isn't this how Brother Chicken transformed?
The creature in front of him was entirely dark blue, shaped like a giant toad, covered with patterns like copper coins.
Except for not having the middle-parted bangs like Brother Chicken, it was almost identical!
So Brother Chicken didn't transform randomly? But Brother Chicken hadn't seen its true form! Lu Fei thought of the conditions Brother Chicken had mentioned for transformation and was completely stunned!
The giant toad raised a front paw, and a bizarre swirling vortex like a turbine began to form in its palm. It gritted its teeth and pressed down hard towards the giant black egg!
However, its giant palm seemed to encounter resistance, and it could not press down no matter what.
At this moment, a black light shield finally appeared above the giant black egg.
The light shield had strange patterns, like the patterns seen in a bubble under sunlight.
"Die Jia, you can't even break the seal on this egg. If it were its true form, wouldn't you be even less of a match?"
The blue toad froze.
Then a hint of anger appeared on its face.
"How could Lord Frog's strength be inferior to this dark thing! Lord Frog has just not recovered its peak strength!"
Saying that, it extended both palms forcefully and pressed them down on the giant black egg simultaneously.
The posture looked less like breaking a seal and more like crushing the egg!
"Be gentle, don't break the egg!"
Huangfu Chenyi reminded him at the right time.
Die Jia snorted.
Suddenly, ripples spread out from the giant black egg. The harder Die Jia pushed, the greater the backlash from these ripples!
The two forces were evenly matched, and the surrounding space began to vibrate violently.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed!
This space showed faint signs of collapse!
"Stop!"
Huangfu Chenyi stopped Die Jia's contest with the giant black egg.
His brow furrowed slightly.
"If brute force doesn't work, is there any other way?"
Die Jia crossed its arms with a look of dissatisfaction. It replied carelessly, "This seal can not only protect itself but also imprison itself. It will be unlocked when the time comes, but if the time hasn't come, this seal is sturdier than that effeminate 'Absolute Defense' you keep!"
After hearing this, Huangfu Chenyi let out a long "Mm."
It seemed that breaking the seal and taking the egg directly was impossible now.
But with his personality, he would never give up. He looked around and asked, "What if we move this entire altar away?"
Die Jia's lowered eyes flipped upwards, looking particularly comical and ridiculous.
"Since you possess some of the power of the contracted beast, just try moving it." It then turned its head, "Don't ask Lord Frog for help!"
Huangfu Chenyi nodded and said seriously, "I'll give it a try."
Die Jia immediately became agitated, "This thing is utterly impossible to move! It contains the power of laws within it; brute force won't work!"
It originally thought Huangfu Chenyi was just joking, but it didn't expect the fellow to be serious and to act immediately. He had already left the altar and was walking towards the pillars below.
Listening to the dull footsteps, Lu Fei couldn't help but swallow.
Doesn't this mean he's about to be discovered?
It was impossible to crawl away now. The movement would be too great, and with the opponent's non-human strength, he would be discovered immediately, making it even harder to explain.
As he hesitated and deliberated.
A deep and resonant questioning voice came.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Fei was startled and looked up, meeting Huangfu Chenyi's gaze.
History always repeats itself, but he didn't expect to meet so soon...
"What a coincidence, Daddy Huangfu, you're here too." Lu Fei stood up, dusted himself off, and pointed to the pitch-black sky above, "That... I..."
"You want to say you're out to pee again?" Huangfu Chenyi teased.
Lu Fei sighed, knowing that trying to be clever with the person in front of him was useless. So, he said directly, "I actually don't know why I'm here. A beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, and when I opened my eyes, I was here..."
He glanced at Huangfu Chenyi, whose expression was confused and thoughtful.
Lu Fei clapped his hands and negated himself, "I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm not lying to you."
His gaze finally fell on Huangfu Chenyi.
The latter's expression gradually calmed down, and he nodded slightly.
"Mm, I believe you."
Lu Fei was stunned and retorted, "Do you know why?"
Huangfu Chenyi said, "You are the owner of the first-generation Star Domain contracted beast, so you were summoned by this space."
It's related to the Star Domain contracted beast again? This dark place doesn't look like the Yanbei region either? Lu Fei was confused, then continued to ask, "Where is this?"
Huangfu Chenyi walked around the altar and returned to his original spot.
He did not answer Lu Fei's question but shook his head silently and muttered to himself, "It seems this altar cannot be moved."
"Huangfu, who are you talking to?"
Just then, a thick, deep questioning voice came.
Immediately after, a large blue toad jumped down from the altar.
