Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 292 "Death" Awakens, Sai Fei'er Leaves

pat!

As the butterfly made contact with the giant egg, a series of subtle cracking sounds suddenly rang out in the quiet space.

The giant egg's shell was instantly covered with countless cracks, resembling a shattered mirror.

The next second, a faint purple light burst forth from inside the giant egg through the fine cracks in its outer shell.

"This is...?!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiong gripped the Black Abyss White Flower in his hand warily.

Both the broken giant egg and the purple light shooting out from it gave him a bad feeling.

It was as if some kind of creature was awakening from an endless slumber, about to hatch!

Boom, boom, boom!

As the purple light grew stronger, a rhythmic pulsation slowly emanated from inside the giant egg.

Like a heartbeat.

This undoubtedly confirmed Lin Qiong's earlier guess—

The creature inside the giant egg... is awakening at an accelerated pace!

"Hey! You guys!"

Such a violent commotion also startled Saifei'er, who was standing nearby.

At this moment, her body sank slightly, her tail stood straight up like a flagpole, and every hair on it bristled as if sensing danger.

"Stop spacing out! Quickly think of a way to bring Princess Dwelling in the Snail's Den back, and I'll take you away from here!"

Lin Qiong turned around at the sound and saw that Sai Feier's composure and ease had vanished, replaced by a tension and anxiety that was hard to describe.

"Why are you looking at me! If you don't hurry up, I'm leaving by myself!"

Seeing that Lin Qiong not only did not act immediately, but also had time to look back at her, Sai Feier was so anxious that her voice trembled.

However, almost the instant her words fell—

Roar! !

A roar that no ordinary creature could produce exploded from inside the giant egg, causing the entire space to tremble!

Lin Qiong, who had turned around, was startled by the commotion. He quickly looked in the direction of the giant egg, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A dark purple giant claw pierced through the broken eggshell, and a pool of viscous, dripping purple slime emerged straight out of the giant egg!

But that's not all!

With a crisp "crack," another giant claw burst from the shell, followed closely by wings, a tail...

Finally, after all parts of the body had broken free of their restraints, a huge and twisted body was completely revealed from the broken giant egg!

"What...what kind of monster is this!?"

Upon seeing this horrifying scene, Xing couldn't help but gasp.

At the same time, her fighting instincts made her pull out her usual baseball bat without hesitation.

But after taking a quick look at the monster's size, she immediately replaced the baseball bat in her hand with an amber-colored spear.

When facing such a behemoth, you have to use a weapon like the Flame Spear, which can cause area-of-effect damage!

"Hey! I'm telling you, you guys don't actually want to fight the Death Titan, do you?"

Seeing Xing suddenly pull out a weapon, Sai Fei'er hurriedly exclaimed, "That's the Death Titan, one of the three Titans of Calamity!"

"If you accidentally get touched by Him, even just touching those liquids, you could die!"

"This...this is so dangerous?"

Sai Fei'er's words made Xing frown.

But when she discovered that Xia Die was still standing in front of the monster, the hesitation on her face instantly turned into determination.

"No, Xia Die is still there, we can't just leave her like this!"

Her gaze was fixed on Xia Die, whose face was blank with confusion, and her voice was full of determination:

"No matter what, she got into this situation to save me! I have to help her too!"

Before Sai Feier could react, Lin Qiong's calm voice rang out:

"Xing is right."

Lin Qiong switched the Black Abyss White Flower to his left hand, then flipped his right hand, palm facing outward, and made a loose fist—

hum!

A sudden, heart-pounding heatwave erupted in the air.

A uniquely shaped greatsword, its blade radiating a scorching heat, materialized from a sudden burst of flames.

Heavenly Fire Judgment - Annihilation Form! It was currently held tightly in Lin Qiong's right hand!

After grasping the Destruction Blade, he spoke slowly again:

"I will not leave here until I have retrieved her soul!"

Upon hearing this, Sai Fei'er froze for half a second, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face.

The way she looked at them at that moment was as if she were looking at two fools...

"You guys...you're absolutely insane!"

Sai Fei'er covered her forehead in anger, her voice filled with a mixture of annoyance and anxiety.

"Fine, whatever. I don't want to do a losing business!" With that, she turned around, feigning annoyance, as if to leave.

But no one noticed that the moment she turned around, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips, hidden in the shadow of her hood.

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out as the coin bounced rapidly.

Then, Sai Fei'er's figure appeared only for a moment before disappearing from the spot.

Lin Qiong and Xing merely exchanged a glance, neither of them showing the slightest surprise or reproach.

It was as if they had anticipated Sai Fei'er's departure.

After all, they had only just met Sai Feier, and her assistance was based solely on a pure exchange of interests.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that her willingness to help along the way without ever raising prices is already a testament to her integrity in the industry.

What a kind person... oh no, what a kind cat!

"Time to get to work, there's a big guy waiting for us."

While marveling at the creature, Lin Qiong did not forget the one that had just hatched.

He spoke in a deep voice, drawing Xing's attention back. Then, the two turned around at the same time, looking at the monster that had revealed its enormous body.

But just as Lin Qiong and Xing turned to face the monster, the expected scene of rampage and destruction did not appear.

On the contrary, the monster was lowering its head and gently encircling the butterfly standing in front of it with its extremely sharp claws.

Especially the careful and cautious posture, as if embracing a close person.

"What's going on!?"

Lin Qiong blinked his wide eyes sharply, and for a moment felt as if his brain had stopped working.

When the monster hatched, it glowed, roared, and continuously sprayed out a corrosive purple slime.

Its violent appearance suggests it was born for "destruction".

If Nanook happened to be passing by, he would probably stop and take a look.

But now... what's going on with this incongruous scene?

Meanwhile, Xing, who was also puzzled, hesitated for two seconds before raising her voice and calling out:

"Xia Die! Wake up!"

She gripped the Flame Spear tightly, her brows furrowed, her eyes darting back and forth between the butterfly and the monster, her voice filled with worry.

Despite the calls, Xia Die's eyes remained empty and lifeless; she simply nestled in the monster's embrace.

It was as if an invisible wall had completely cut her off from the outside world.
