Chapter 659: Chapter 659. Resuming the exploration!
The girls looked at the transparent glowing orb with curiosity. After all, this item could tempt Yasenia from very far away, even while being buried deep down the mountain.
Yasenia confirmed that the scent of the Natural Treasure was not the thing she first sniffed and that it came from this one.
When Yasenia stretched her hand and touched the orb, it glowed softly, slowly unraveling its contents, finally revealing what was inside as it landed on Yasenia's palm.
Angel blinked and asked, unsure. "A key?"
Kali nodded. "A golden key."
Evelyn further explained. "A golden key the size of a hand with inlaid gems."
Ebirah poked it and smiled. "It's very pretty."
Tatyana lifted an eyebrow, interested. "It is indeed some sort of key. The craftsmanship is delicate and thorough. Quality-wise, it should be similar to a Transcendence Level treasure."
The girls nodded, and Cecile asked. "What is it for?"
Nobody knew, so they were confused about what to do.
Yasenia spun it around, looking at it to see if it had anything written, but there was nothing. She observed the crystal room and asked. "Is there anything else in this room?"
Andrea shook her head. "I've been searching, and I found nothing."
Kali suggested. "Maybe there is another room. Should we search for it?"
They agreed, and after doing another detailed inspection of the empty room, they began circling the pillar and scanning the surroundings.
They took their time, and after eight hours of meticulous searching, they found nothing.
Yasenia sighed. "There are no extra hints, it seems."
Angel pouted. "So, we got nothing?"
Ebirah was grabbing Angel's hand as she said. "We gained a lot of Heaven-ranked ores!"
As Ebirah said, the previous room filled with high-quality ores, thanks to the Heaven-Born Earth Core, looked much emptier and less lustrous.
Andrea laughed happily. "We gained 20,000 cubic meters of various heaven-ranked minerals and almost 700,000 cubic meters of Earth-ranked ones. Then, our beast people have increased a level. Also, that Natural Treasure in your spatial ring is very nice. Even if we never discover what that key is for, we've gained a lot of valuable treasures. If we didn't have Yasenia's ring, our 10,000 cubic meter rings would've become stuffed with ores."
The others smiled, feeling nice about having the optimistic Andrea in the group.
Ebirah looked at what was left of the pillar and pulled Yasenia's skirt hem. "Yasenia, can I eat it?"
The dragoness chuckled and nodded. "Go ahead."
Ebirah transformed into her beast form and then began munching into the giant pillar. The solid rocks were like soft mud under the powerful mandibles of the Ore Lobster.
Cecile asked. "Won't the room collapse if she eats it?"
Yasenia tilted her head. "Does it matter? We'll leave as soon as she finishes eating, so even if it later collapses, it's not our problem."
After Ebirah ate her fill, about two times her body weight in her giant lobster form, the girls left the cave system.
Seeing the sky again, they took a deep breath. Andrea chuckled. "We've only been there a few hours, but it felt much longer."
Evelyn was riding on Yasenia's back, her little but softly resting on the root of her tail. "Where do we go next, Yasenia?"
Yasenia looked around and answered. "Hm, we should look around the mountain, just in case. If we find anything interesting, we take it. I doubt it, though... By the way, dear."
Evelyn. "Yes?"
Yasenia looked down at the two mischievous hands fondling her under her dress and sighed with a smile. "What are you doing?"
Evelyn answered with a serious face. "The air here is a bit chilly, so I'm warming up my hands with your Heavenly Breasts."
Ebirah asked, innocent and curious. "Why don't you do it with yours?"
Evelyn's lips twitched as she looked down at her aerodynamic chest and decided not to answer and comfort her hurt soul with the massive breasts in her hands.
Andrea coughed and answered for Evelyn. "Little Ebirah, Evelyn just wants to have some skinship with Yasenia. The chilly air is an excuse."
Ebirah nodded. "I see."
After that, they moved around the mountain and found nothing interesting besides a few spirit herbs and ores.
In total, they took about a day, and the following morning, they decided to leave the mountain. While resting, Yasenia always took time to speak with Kaleina. She was showering her little dear with love even if she couldn't be there.
Kaleina even told her sweetly that her call was her favorite part of the day, making Yasenia so distressed for a moment that she almost rushed outside the secret realm if the girls hadn't stopped her.
They didn't see anyone around as they descended, and Yasenia frowned. "It's too silent. Be careful."
Kali commented. "Did the people leave after your commotion?"
Yasenia shook her head. "It doesn't make sense. Although the cave has interesting treasures, the rest of the mountain has materials that are valuable enough for normal disciples. Remember that our standards are very high, and things we consider not worth picking up are treasures for others. There is no way that all cultivators exploring the mountain suddenly vanish without a reason."
The girls nodded and looked closely at their surroundings.
Andrea asked. "How about flying out instead of running as we are?"
Yasenia seriously considered it. "That's a good idea, but let's go on land for now, in case ambushes are placed around. If we are the target, people must've prepared to catch us mid-air. If we are not, it's not too late then to change into our beast forms and fly away.
They saw the limit of the rocky part, and soon, they would enter the forest area of the mountain.
Cecile suddenly warned. "Stop. In that area with high walls, there should be an ambush."
They all stopped the instant Cecile ordered and listened to her reasoning. Their trust in each other was deep enough to follow through if somebody suddenly gave an order like that.
After hearing Cecile's speculation, Angel focused energy in her eyes and used her [Energy Flow Intent]. The little girl nodded and spoke. "There is a formation over there, covering the middle of the fissure between the two large hills. People would not bother circling around, so that must be a large convergence of traveling cultivators. There might be a group that has been ambushing small groups."
Evelyn squinted. "Or they are waiting for us."
Yasenia didn't deny her opinion and asked. "What makes you think that?"
Evelyn explained. "The wolf elders have been dissatisfied with us, and this dissatisfaction must've mixed with their rancor for what we've done to their clan after you slapped their faces twice. After knowing we gained a treasure, he must've called nearby reinforcements and set up an ambush for us."
Yasenia's eyes shone with praise. Her mischievous girl has always been very sharp. "I also think similarly. Does someone else want to add anything extra?"
They all shook their head, so the dragoness asked. "What do you girls want to do? If we fly high up into the sky, escaping without a conflict would be pretty straightforward. We can even choose the opposite direction and fly over the mountain. We would lose just an hour or two."
Yasenia saw that they were still looking at her, and she knew what they wanted. "Of course, we can set up countermeasures and fight the ambush off."
Cecile spoke with her usual cold tone. "They will be annoying if we let them live."
Evelyn blinked and asked. "Say, Yasenia, I want to test the thing Kali made."
Kali titled her head. "Which one?"
Evelyn chuckled mischievously. "The [Body Scent Pearl Bomb]."
The girls looked at Evelyn with twitching lips. Cecile was blunt and asked. "Isn't that the bomb made of Yasenia's sexual fluids and scents? Do you want them to rape each other?"
Evelyn coughed. "I mean, aren't you girls curious as to what extent does that thing work? Kali also increased the intensity a few times over with an alchemy mixture, right?"
Kali nodded but was reluctant.
Andrea commented. "How about using them only if they attack us?"
Evelyn looked at Andrea and warned. "But we'll lose the initiative. Isn't it better to attack first?"
Yasenia asked while hugging her baby. "Can you nullify that formation, baby?"
Angel snuggled in the embrace of the voluptuous dragoness and nodded. "It's very amateurish."
Yasenia looked at them and ordered. "Good. Prepare to use defensive skills as soon as we step inside. Cecile, Evelyn, Sierra, you three will be the main attackers, so use the time Andrea, Ebirah, Kali, and I buy time to counterattack. Angel, you focus on the disarming of the formation. Finally, Mom, Valeria, and Mirrory do as you see fit. Also, Evelyn... Use those bombs in moderation."
Evelyn smiled.
On the other side, as the girls expected, it was an ambush planned for them. The Steel Back Wolf elder had gathered other low-level clans with his influence and was observing from a distance.
A subordinate spoke. "Elder Fu, their group has stopped walking."
The wolf kin frowned and looked over. "Did they discover our ambush?"
At the side, a beautiful woman with snake scales hissed arrogantly. "That blonde girl is just the runner-up of the Junior competition held five years ago. I know Meiren, the winner, and her skills are nothing to worry about. This girl is weaker than Meiren, so it is impossible to detect my formation!"
Her tone, full of pride and disdain for being doubted, made the people present irked but somewhat relieved.
After all, even if she was arrogant, she was a well-known Formation Master in the continent.
When they saw their group advancing toward them again, the woman stated. "See? They are nothing more than little birds falling into my net."
Elder Fu spoke in a low tone. "Prepare yourselves. Once the trapping formation is deployed, attack with all your strength. Our objective is the treasures, but their deaths are our priority. If possible, capture her alive. The Patriarch seems to be interested in her."
Another wolf commented. "Elder Fu, didn't Lady Zephyrith advise us not to be too obsessed with them and focus on the Secret realm exploration?"
Elder Fu frowned, annoyed. "This is the fifth time you spoke about that. Although I respect Lady Zephyrith as she will probably become the main wife of the Patriarch when she finally decides to give her pure body to him, right now, she isn't. So, we'll take the Patriarch's desires above hers."
A woman from the wolf clan snorted. "Lady Zephyrith is too arrogant. She has been making the Patriarch wait for over five hundred years. Isn't she ashamed to not even let him touch her?"
Another person laughed. "That's what made the Patriarch so obsessed with her. Besides, have you ever seen a more beautiful and powerful female wolf than her?"
An Ethereal Soul cultivator spoke. "Well, isn't that one from the Lizard's sect on a similar level? How was she called... Sierra?"
That woman who spoke frowned further. "She is just an Ethereal Soul level weakling."
Elder Fu ordered. "Enough. Prepare yourselves, they are close."
They all waited and prepared with his order while the wolf elder sneered. 'Did you really think I would let you leave with the treasures? Now that I've gathered twenty Epoch Core people, one-hundred-and-twenty Ethereal soul Realm cultivators, and our formation, you will fall into my claws.'
*************************************************************
Evelyn: I'm very curious about the effects of that bomb.
Kali: It was quite complex and fun to make. Yasenia's pheromones are very difficult to work with.
Yasenia: Are they?
Kali: Yes, love. If a normal pheromone can activate, for example, five nerves, yours can activate fifty.
Author: I summon you!
Aries Uy: Hello~.
Tatyana: Hello, little one. What's your question?
Aries Uy: Well... *Blushing* After I heard about the egg-lying, I couldn't help but wonder about how big they would be before they exited the body. Will the egg grow in size when it exits, or will it grow big enough for a baby to exit as an egg?
Aries Uy: Also, um, can Yas have two pregnancies at once since she can use her tail like a pocket pussy. Well, I'm not sure if she has a second uterus in her tail or just transfers everything to one uterus. Will the Yas' egg get so big that she is forced to stay in her dragon form?
Aries Uy: When I think about Yas carrying a giant egg in her belly in her human form, hahaha, something feels funny. Either way, I'm sure she could probably still kill people while preggy~.
Yasenia: I can feel the branches of your thoughts sprouting from here.
Aries Uy: *Blushing* Also, for the answer, can you summon the dragons? Like the forest dragon, Tian Long, the maids, etc.
Author: An interesting set of questions? Hahaha. Let's summon them, then.
*Puff*
Aries Uy: Wow, Tian Long is truly intimidating up close.
Tian Long: It has been a while since I came here.
Laurina: Hm? Oh! Little sister Yasenia!
Alaia: Young Miss!
Author: Hello, here is the problem.
*Explanation*
Tian Long: I'm honestly unsure about all those questions. But, from my experience, a dragon in human form can carry eggs. Unlike human women, when they are giving birth, their bodies become extremely elastic.
Laurina: Mom and Dad told me about how the eggs grow even after being laid, so in my race's case, we do both. Nurturing in the body and nurturing outside the body.
Alaia: As a beast-human dragon, I'm sure that I would not lay eggs unless I mate with a real dragon.
Laurina: *Blushing* Also, cough, I don't know about little sister Yasenia being able to have two pregnancies... Does her tail really...?
Aries Uy: Well, she can use it to mate.
Laurina: Oh my~.... *Whispering* So wonderful~.
Tian Long: Tatyana, your daughter is quite rare between dragons. Not many species can use their tail as a sexual organ.
Tatyana: She is my daughter. Of course, she is special.
Alaia: From what Dr. Ava, Anna, Eve, and Flora have deduced, young Miss should have a strange pregnancy. She will probably know what to do instinctively at that moment, but it will be interesting. Dr. Ava has told me to closely monitor and write down every second of it.
Aries Uy: I see. Thanks to all of you!
Author: And that's all for today's egg-lying Theater- Cough, I mean Celestial Theater!
