Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

It took a while for the shrill scream to finally stop.

Floating in the air, the egg began to crack, and the shell slowly disintegrated. A pair of purple wings like that of the legendary roc spread out from the hole on top of the egg. The giant wings covered the sky and blocked the sunlight. The world was instantly enveloped in darkness. A dark, menacing aura pervaded the surrounding, spreading in all directions, sending chills down everyone's spine.

A fierce wind swept over the square as it whipped its wings once; evil was being born.

"What the hell is that?" someone yelled. Even Silas and the elders, who had experienced and seen so much in life, stared at the creature in stunned silence. Something was wrong; they could feel it in their bones. The treasure beast egg they had kept for twenty years should have belonged to a rare beast or perhaps a legendary magic beast. However, what was about to break out of the egg was obviously something different from anything they had seen so far. They feared that a fiend was about to emerge into the world.

It was not just the elders who were stunned to the core. The other warriors were terrified as they watched the scene unfolding in front of them. Despite the shock in their hearts, the only thing that they were certain about was that the egg was hatching, and the beast would come out at any moment. It was clear that Zachary was the one who had made this happen.

In the past twenty years, no one in the kingdom had been able to make the egg recognize them as its master. But now, a warrior from another kingdom, who had arrived only a month ago to Crane College, was able to accomplish this feat. They watched the egg while cursing Zachary for stealing all the glory.

After the wings appeared, the egg split into two with a loud crack. A creature that looked neither human nor beast climbed out of the shell and flew towards the crowd in the square with strong murderous intent.

The crowd panicked and began to run away from the ferocious be

usly not used to the strange environment and the crowd around it. It was restless and alarmed, and from time to time it would show its sharp teeth to the crowd.

Barnes was the first one to break the shocked silence. He knew that something was wrong about this strange beast. "Everyone, hurry up and bring it down!" he ordered. In response, more than ten Imperial Level warriors rushed out of the crowd and surrounded the spiritual beast.

As soon as the beast sensed danger, it became more vigilant. All of a sudden, it produced strange purple energy, which then turned into several beams. It aimed directly at the surrounding warriors.

The Imperial Level warriors quickly counterattacked. However, when their power collided with the purple beams, their energies were devoured by the beast's purple stream. In an instant, their energies disappeared without a trace, but the purple energy, on the other hand, grew stronger than before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions shook the ground near the Imperial Level warriors, shaking them back for a few steps. Those who were unlucky started spitting blood and collapsed.

The crowd watched in terrified silence. The winged human-shaped spiritual beast was so powerful that it easily destroyed ten Imperial Level warriors in one blow. The power of this creature was beyond their knowledge.
