14 Eggs
Two months passed since Little Chaos and 'Little Apple' coming to the core of heavenly Forest.
Somewhere in the Heavenly Beast Forest, In a place filled with huge rocks, a small kid with nothing but leaves on his body was hiding amongst the smaller rocks.
His whole body was covered with a green juice which concealed his body odour and made him smell like the forest itself.
The little kid looked over the boulder and a small nest came into his view. This nest had been his target for the past one week.
Two weeks back, the small kid had finally broke into the Chaos Elephant realm with the help of his master.
He revolved the chaos energy one last time, which refined all the unused medical energy stored in his body from all his priceless meals.
This was also the reason his master made him break through to Chaos Elephant realm. Only when he reached such a level could he digest the accumulated medicinal energy!
Now that he was an elephant, it became harder to advance into higher realms without feeling a searing pain in his muscles, one of the consequence of his weak constitution.
So his master decided to teach him the easier paths to improve his physique for the future advancements.
His master took him to a huge tree that day. They concealed themselves in the cover of the tree roots, and waited for three days straight!
On the third day of their arrival, a huge 'flying beast' flew out of the tree's top. It surveyed the locations around the tree for a good one hour. Finding nothing out of the place, it flew away to catch its meal for the day.
Half an hour later, Little Chaos's master came out of his hiding, and started climbing the tree rapidly.
When he came back down, he had two head sized eggs in his two hands. His master plucked out some weed from his surroundings and crushed them to retrieve their juices and applied it over the two eggs.
They then ran for half a day before his master stopped and smiled at him.
"What are these eggs for, master?" Little Chaos was intrigued. Something that made his master waste a total of three days to obtain was not going to be simple.
He was even more sure of this conjecture as he had witnessed his master's actual strength first hand when he stayed and cultivated with him.
One day, Little Chaos has woken up early and found his sleeping master. Little Chaos thought that he would give his daily Cultivation a try without his master for once.
He closed his eyes slowly and entered an ethereal state as he tried to sense the chaos. His unique constitution did not betray him and he soon felt a large amount of Chaos like all other times. But this time, the large amount was concentrated on top of his master's body.
Little Chaos waited for the chaos energy to float towards him as usual, but a minute passed with no chaos entering him.
Puzzled and curious, he tried to pull the chaos energy towards him for the first time in his life. He used his superior 'soul force' to pull the energy towards him.
But to his dismay, Little Chaos found that the chaos that was condensed on his master's body had simply ignored his soul force, and acted as if he was a beggar begging it to enter him.
An hour passed to no avail and Little Chaos was forced to give up after consuming a large amount of his soul force.
When he mentioned this incident to his master, his Master had just shook his head without replying.
Little Chaos had no idea why the Chaos energy that had loved rushing towards him, became cold and distant suddenly.
Even though his master had abstained from explaining things, Little Chaos understood one thing. If his master wanted to stop his cultivation, his master could do it without batting his eyelids!
...
His master laughed at his question. "These eggs are the ones that the old bird laid out recently. They contain a huge amount of nutrients which can improve your body physique."
"Beasts are born with strong bodies, and it is these nutrients which help them develop such strong bodies. Normally, humans can't digest these nutrients but it is no problem given your 'Primal Chaos Body'."
Little Chaos digested this new information. He understood that his master was trying to teach the benefits and usages of his special constitution.
"But Master, why did you wait for three days for these eggs? You could have just plucked them right under the bird's eyes! The bird did not seem strong any way." His master was so strong that there was no need to steal, but why did he waste three days on it.
His master tapped on his head lightly and asked, "Where are we right now?"
"The Heavenly Beast Forest." The kid answered.
"Why is it called the Heavenly Beast Forest?" His master asked again.
"Because it is the paradise to the beasts! Ahh!" The kid finally understood the reasons behind his master's actions.
How can thr Forest be a paradise when you pluck things from them and attack them or kill them?
.....
His master started a fire and cooked the eggs. It was little Chaos's first time tasting an egg, half cooked. It almost made him throw up, but he endured with his strong will.
His master took the free time while eating to explain about the beasts and their eggs and the way and rules to steal them.
First Rule: You only steal eggs of sentience beasts or lower, since they don't have the concept of numbers, they would hardly notice the reducing eggs.
Second rule: You only steal the newest of the eggs and must not steal eggs which are about to hatch.
Third rule: Disguise the scent of the egg stolen, to avoid being tracked.
Forth rule: If caught in the act of stealing, you leave the egg and run.
Fifth rule: You only steal one egg for every ten eggs present.
Sixth rule: Avoid all contact with mother beast at all costs.
After explaining the rules to steal the eggs, his master left him on his own to steal the eggs.
...
Now,
Little Chaos threw away his clothes, used the leaves to cover himself, and applied grass juice all over his body to erase his scent.
For the past week he ha been observing the situation of this small nest and found that the mother beast would usually leave for one hour in the afternoon to catch food for the newly hatched kids.
Little Chaos confirmed the mother beast's routine for the whole week and it had left on time again today.
He waited for fifteen minutes before slowly making his way to the nest and with a single glance saw around twenty eggs and two newborn baby beasts.
Little Chaos slowly made his way to one of the newest eggs and took it. He was about to leave quietly but greed overtook him.
[ why don't I take two, there are twenty eggs anyway.]
So he took another egg into his arms and turned around. Immediately he was greeted with the two newborns who rushed over to see what Little Chaos was doing.
"cute kids! Give way to big brother. I am not someone suspicious, nor am I shady. I was just passing by while I found these round white rocks, I am just helping you move them." His face was calm as he spouted random nonsense. He did not feel guilty to take the eggs away.
Little Chaos slowly stepped around the newborns without scaring them. It took him a full ten minutes to execute this action perfectly.
As he left the nest, he felt proud.
[ I just stole two eggs, hump! hump! Even master stole only two last time. Doesn't this mean that I have reached master, in the art of thievery. hump! It can't be helped. I am just the best in the world.]
While our little Chaos was running with the eggs feeling narcissistic, the mother beast returned to its nest.
It first smelled the nest, and nodded to itself. Indeed this was her nest's smell. Then it looked at the unhatched eggs with her motherly love.
Then she took out the prey she had caught for her newborns to eat, but the newborns started acting strange. They continuously roared facing one direction.
The mother beast turned towards the direction they were roaring and raised its nose, soon a savage expression appeared on its face as it charged in that direction.
Our little Chaos had forgotten to mask the smell of the eggs in a hurry. He was also carrying two eggs almost the same size as him, with his weak physique, he could only run a kilometre by the time the mother beast returned to its nest.
When the mother beast smelled her eggs in this direction, she was immediately enraged and charged towards Little Chaos at the top of her speed.
The mother beast soon caught up with Little Chaos who was carrying her eggs and roared while speeding up even more.
Poor Little Chaos, he turned around only to see the Mather beast charge at him rashly.
At this moment, his fear of death kicked in and made him forget to move! The beast easily slammed into him in fury and Little Chaos flew into air and when he fell back down, the eggs he was carrying... cracked open.
The mother beast let out a pitiful cry witnessing its eggs getting crushed by the fall. Soon, it turned into bitter hatred towards Little Chaos. Thr Mother Beast wanted nothing more than to let Little Chaos accompany its unborn babies.
Little Chaos's body flowed with blood, he was hurt so badly, he could not stand. He was rapidly losing his vision but his fear of death helped him stay awake, his heart started to race at an unbelievable rate.
At this perilous moment the chaos energy in the surroundings started to thicken and gather.
The beast charged towards him once more, and all the chaos in the surroundings attacked the beast without any warning!
This was a kind of self defence mechanism. At this very moment Little Chaos's Body emitted a strange glow and the chaos energy in the surroundings accepted our little kid as its rightful owner and moved on its own.... to protect his master.
chaos energy rose like a storm and automatically attacked the mother beast. No one knew what was happening inside that storm of chaos energy as It roared continuously for quite some time, before eventually calming down.
Little Chaos had long been in a unconscious state and when the storm subsided, a young man walked out, carrying the mother beast on his shoulder.
There were no injuries on the mother beast, but it was also in an unconscious state. The young man first returned to the nest and left the mother beast there.
He then picked up little Chaos and tapped in sixteen places of his body simultaneously. Little Chaos opened his mouth and spat out a little blood, his face was pale, but it was returning colour at a fast pace.
Chaos energy started merging with his little body, helping and strengthening it.
The Little kid's master sighed deeply at the sight. At last, all the Thirteen Primal Bodies have been awakened and acknowledged. It was the premonition of the 'Final War'.
