Yang Fei looked down and saw that the giant egg's stone-like shell had countless mottled patterns.

Those patterns exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, while also emanating a faint sense of majesty.

This majesty was the direct suppression of higher-order beings over lower-order beings.

It could also be the absolute dominance of a creature at the top of the food chain over one at the bottom, much like the relationship between a cat and a mouse.

Yang Fei felt his mind shake; he, who had always feared nothing, was suddenly gripped by a deep fear, as if wanting to turn and flee.

It was with great effort that Yang Fei suppressed his fear, picked up the giant egg, and exerted his strength once more.

This time, Yang Fei used Dragon Elephant Strength. With a cracking sound, the strange egg emitted a sound of fracture.

Yang Fei was taken aback, looked down, and discovered that this strange egg was not floating in the seawater but was securely placed on a pillar-shaped reef.

Moreover, the giant egg was embraced by reefs all around.

Looking down from above, Yang Fei hadn't noticed these reefs.

Additionally, the reefs were silver-white with a blueish tint, making them indiscernible in the clear seawater.

Yang Fei closely observed the reefs clustered around and was shocked to find out.

These reefs were actually Mithril ore, and very pure, emitting subtle energy vibrations.

Yang Fei was overjoyed; after exhaustive searching, without any effort, he unexpectedly found so much Mithril ore here.

At this time, the strange patterns on the rock-like shell of the giant egg suddenly emitted a dazzling light, flickering, with faint halos spreading outwards in circles.

Yang Fei suddenly understood a bit. This light source was actually emanating from this strange egg.

Perhaps, the energy attached to these reefs also came from the radiation and illumination of this giant egg.

In this sense, the energy contained in this giant egg absolutely surpassed the total amount of all the Mithril ore.

Yang Fei stared blankly at this item; everything he saw today had absolutely exceeded his perception of the world.

Perhaps, this item was also a creature left behind by some prehistoric cultivation civilization, similar to something like a dinosaur fossil?

Yang Fei speculated, looking at the sphere wrapped in layers of rock, he decided to bring this thing back to shore.

Yang Fei no longer tried to forcefully lift the giant egg. Instead, he took out a triangular military spike to pry open the rock cracks little by little,

planning to completely detach this strange object.

The Mithril ore close to the giant egg was very pure, nearly transparent silver-white; one could see the sparkling lights inside, as if they were flowing.

At the same time, this Mithril ore was also very hard.

What shocked Yang Fei the most was that the strange energy fluctuations of this Mithril ore could actually swallow Yang Fei's strength.

Of the full extent of his strength expended, only about thirty percent had an effect.

This posed a great challenge to Yang Fei's excavation work.

However, Yang Fei was not disheartened, instead, he was extremely excited.

He wondered what this Mithril ore was that could swallow attacking power.

If it were made into a bulletproof vest or armor, it would be a legendary protective treasure.

Yang Fei applied Dragon Elephant Strength, excavating bit by bit; crystal-like Mithril ore powder flew everywhere. Each time he dug, he could only extract a fingertip-sized piece.

The water pressure at the bottom of the sea was as heavy as a mountain. Given Yang Fei's martial arts skills, after digging for a while, he was somewhat out of breath and very tired.

At one point, he exerted too much force, and the triangular military spike pierced his finger, with pale red blood dispersing in the seawater.

Yang Fei didn't care, however, at that moment, something happened that left him utterly dumbfounded.

That strand of pale red blood seemed to encounter some tremendous attraction and was entirely absorbed by the giant egg.

The blood seeped through the egg's rough, stone-like shell and vanished instantly.

This defiance of physical law left Yang Fei with his mouth agape in astonishment.

Immediately, from within the shell of the strange egg, a faint red glow began to emanate.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Yang Fei even felt the strange egg move slightly.

"Does this thing... absorb blood?"

Yang Fei felt a chill, and to verify his judgment, he used the triangular military spike to prick his finger, causing the previously dried-up wound to bleed again.

This time, Yang Fei watched clearly as the blood spread in the seawater, quickly gathering into a strand and then being absorbed by the strange egg.

Immediately after, the strange egg moved again, seemingly struggling to break free from the confinement of the Mithril ore.

Yang Fei's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

He watched as the blood in his wound quickly dried up and decisively used the triangular military spike to stab hard, drawing more blood.

As expected, the strange egg absorbed all that blood as well.

Yang Fei grimaced in pain, watching as the strange egg struggled more violently, suddenly breaking apart the pillar-shaped reef with a crashing sound.

Boom!

At this moment, a dull sound surged from the depths of the sea, making Yang Fei's qi-blood churn.

Yang Fei looked down and was instantly frightened out of his wits.

Thousands of feet beneath the sea, something bright red shot upwards frenziedly.

Yang Fei could see clearly that those dozen pillar-like things were bursts of magma.

Destructive scorching energy surged up, with lots of bubbles rising from the seafloor.

The undersea volcano had erupted!

Yang Fei cried out in dismay; was it necessary to bring about a natural disaster to obliterate him just because he dug up a little thing?

Even fine iron would melt in erupting volcanic magma; Yang Fei's flesh and blood would probably vaporize instantly from a single encounter.

Yang Fei shouted, desperately trying to rise.

At this critical moment, when he was fleeing for his life, his Nine Extremes Force was pushed to its limit, combined with the buoyant force of the water, moving as fast as lightning.

However, Yang Fei could still feel the seawater turning hot in an instant.

And the terrifying undersea magma chased closely behind, with the power to annihilate everything.

Yang Fei inwardly lamented; as a soldier, he was prepared to face death by bullets or explosions, but the thought of being boiled alive was unbearable for Yang Fei.

At that moment, Yang Fei thought of the ill-fate of being a braised crab.

Everyone loves to eat braised crab, but who the hell wants to be a braised crab?

Yan Fei guessed he would be cooked into a braised crab by magma before reaching the surface if nothing unexpected happened.

Right at that moment, Yang Fei's buttocks felt a sting, and his ascent skyrocketed a hundredfold.

He soared upwards like riding on clouds and fog, bursting through the surface with a splash, his body suspended in the air.

Boom!

Dozens of flames and magma spewed above the sea, like a dozen heaven-reaching fire columns, extremely magnificent.
