Chapter 15 Attractive Voice

While he was lamenting his fate, he also knows that he needs to get a move on or else he would be in bad luck soon.

His mind was spinning madly, analyzing the current predicament and situation.

The gigantic egg meant its species must be huge. In comparison wouldn't a creature capable to lay a 6-feet high egg be around 30-feet or 40-feet in height if it were to stand upright? Or maybe bigger?

There's several huge foot mark over there. It seems to be a four-legged creature and it's heavy. Based on its foot shape, the only creature that came to mind was Minotaur, but that one was two-legged. And this beast's size and weight obviously far outclass Minotaur's size.

He was not sure how fast is its leg, but from the looks of it, its steps taken between one another sure was wide. This could probably indicate it was flexible enough.

So, wouldn't most creatures with high flexibility means they were also agile and fast?

This sure was not good news to him.

He was sure, he could not outrun the beast mother, especially if she came running chasing after him in anger.

He needs to work out a feasible plan to survive fast.

Since he had just smashed the beast's egg, there's a unique smell of the beast's odor on him.

Obviously, it's not rotten smell since it's not a spoiled egg. It was just an egg with residues of undeveloped beast body that haven't come to life. The egg might have not been laid for long such that the unborn beast hasn't properly develop.

He sure was glad seeing that. Or else, he would have felt sorry for the beast for losing its life before it even hatched.

Even so, there's a unique flavor and odor that sticks to his body.

In this way, should the mother beast return, even if he managed to pull the distance and ran away far, he still could not hide from the mother beast. After she noticed that her egg was broken by him, she would chase him in anger following the smell and residue trace.

He was very sure that with his current ability, he could not kill the mother beast. That enormous beast that can lay such large egg, a slap of her paw could easily kill him instead.

So, the only step he can take to survive was to remove the egg's trace on his body. This way even if she chases him, once she could not trace the smell and residue, she could only give him up.

But the problem still lies in, how to remove it.

He doesn't have any soap, or white vinegar or baking soda on him. Plus, he was not even sure whether the earth's survival knowhow would be valid in this case or not.

Nonetheless he needs to try.

The current plan that he thought of, was to find a source of water, preferably a flowing river. This way he not only can secure water for his drinking need, but most importantly able to wash away the traces of the smashed egg on his body.

He can also use the flowing water the hide his trace.

Then secondly, he needs to find some herbs with heavy thick smell, crush it and smear it on his whole body before washing it again.

Then he needs to find some animal or beast, kill it and get its blood. Using the blood to be spread the whole body, it would cover the any egg's residue smell with the strong smell of blood. Of course, afterward wash it again.

In this way hopefully, he can finally get rid of the smashed egg's odor and smells.

But in the wilderness, having a residue smell of blood is dangerous. It can attract various dangerous beast, including pack of wolves.

To solve this, he could cover his whole body in mud.

Not only would it be useful to remove the bloody smell, but also able to hide his own smell and breath. In this way, it would also allow him to better hide in the forest and survive.

Why not directly use mud to remove the egg's odor or smells? Well, he was not sure whether it helps. So, the use of the blood to cover the egg's smell was basically to confuse the mother beast sense of smell.

That way, hopefully he can outrun the chase.

No matter what happen later, his priority was to save his life first.

When he was making plans the actual time spent was just several seconds.

At this time, the stupid Qilin had not regained his consciousness. He must have suffered from dizziness caused by the sudden transmission as well as from the fall.

This time, his head no longer only have a lump due to undeveloped antler. But also, an additional lump due to injuries from the fall.

Unlike Lin Ren, who controls his body during the fall (thanks to his grandfather reminder), this troublemaker Qilin, when he was involved in the transmission, he had not been prepared.

Thus, when they just appeared, he falls upside down headfirst.

Falling from such height, and finally hitting and broke the hard shells of the gigantic egg, it is no wonder that it had a small concussion.

Yes, now Lin Ren realize it was a Qilin. Since his family was cultivators and practitioners, then meeting dragon and phoenix was not impossible. So, when his mind becomes flexible, his brain was now very receptive and able to accept any possibility that he might face.

And from the knowledge gained after reading various fantasy genre novels and playing related games, the beast fit perfectly to the description of a Qilin, though without antler.

He assumed that reason for it was because the guy was still young. Otherwise, if not then the guy could be 'special case that needs attention'.

And yes. He is a guy. When he previously turns around and looked at the guy lying there upside down, he saw it.

Now let us all just calm down and be civilized. We are cultured people here.

So, there's no need to describe it, so as to avoid ruining and burning your eye.

Yes. you just need to know, that he did indeed saw it.

'What the f....'

That was all Lin Ren could say when he saw it.

He even felt more malice from the world as if everything around trying to look down on him.

He quickly turns around and tries his best to delete that image.

If only there's an Empty Recycle Bin function in the brain.

'Snort. You only got the advantage of race. It's not because I'm not good enough'

Anyway, when he tries to empty his mind, mumbling some incoherent sutra, he looked around to determine where he should go to.

He had just noticed that his necklace had fallen to the ground.

This necklace was given to him by his father when he was a child. It was said to be a family token. It identified him being part of the Lin's family. Everyone has it. Its function was like military tag worn in the army.

At this moment he remembered his grandfather's words.

Taking the necklace, he brings it near the to his ring.

Nothing happens.

Feeling bored as he felt this repertoire was too familiar, he tries again by bumping the necklace with the ring.

Nothing happens.

He knew his grandfather was not reliable. He should had been more specific when giving instructions.

So, he tried various way, until the center of the tag touches the blue azure oval-shaped jewel. Suddenly there some resonance between the necklace and the ring. Then there's a resounding female voice echoing deep in his ear. The voice was pleasant and attractive.

[Hi there. I'm the Spirit Soul of the Ring, This Inheritance Ring had now been successfully activated]

[You seem to be my new master. Nice to meet you.]
