Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 161! I'm so excited!

Babata's voice trailed off for a moment, then he said with a hint of seriousness:

"I estimate that this egg is the egg of the legendary Golden Horned Beast."

"Oh?" Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly. "How did you figure that out?"

"Starry Sky Beasts are extremely rare; even in the virtual universe, only very limited information can be found. But I've searched through all the available materials and still haven't found any information about this egg."

"Furthermore, considering the aura emanating from this egg, it can be basically concluded that this is a top-tier existence among the star beasts. Once it reaches adulthood, it will likely become a realm lord-level being."

"Among all the cosmic behemoths, there are only a few that are relatively top-tier, such as the Flame Star Behemoth and the Golden Horned Behemoth. The Flame Star Behemoth is born inside a planet and feeds on the planet itself, so this egg cannot be from the Flame Star Behemoth. After eliminating other options, the only remaining one is the Golden Horned Behemoth."

"sharp."

Jiang Lan exclaimed in admiration.

He knew the egg belonged to the Golden Horned Beast because he already knew.

Babata deduced this solely from external information.

Babata's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

"Jiang Lan, this is the egg of the Golden Horned Beast!"

"I know, didn't you just say that?"

"The egg of the Golden Horned Beast! Why are you so indifferent? My master and I have traveled through the universe for countless years and have only seen two other star beasts, and both of them were relatively weak species."

"Well……"

Jiang Lan was silent for a moment, then said with an exaggerated expression:

"Ah! I'm so excited! It's the egg of the Golden Horned Beast!"

Babata: "..."

After Jiang Lan made a joke, her expression returned to normal.

"Alright, I have to take this with me. I can't tell when it will hatch. If it hatches while I'm not on Earth, that would be troublesome."

"That's true. If this thing really is a Golden Horned Beast, then it will possess planetary-level strength from birth. In just a few months, it will become a star. With Earth's current strength, a star-level Golden Horned Beast could easily sweep through it. Even all the female slaves you bought combined wouldn't be a match for a Golden Horned Beast."

"Yes, so I'm taking it with me."

As Jiang Lan spoke, she used her mental power to move away the rubble next to the golden-horned giant beast's egg.

A dozen seconds later, the rubble disappeared, and the full view of the beast egg appeared before Jiang Lan.

Previously, he had only seen part of the beast egg. To Jiang Lan's surprise, the beast egg was actually more than five meters tall, almost six meters.

The entire egg is golden yellow, and its surface is covered with mysterious dark gold patterns.

Babata's voice rang in Jiang Lan's mind once again.

"What do you plan to do with this egg after you take it?"

"Wait until it hatches, then kill it."

Jiang Lan's answer was unusually crisp, her words devoid of any emotion.

"That's a Golden Horned Beast! Dude! You're going to kill it? Do you know how valuable that thing is? It could fetch an astronomical price at auction!"

Jiang Lan pursed her lips.

What's the use of an exorbitant price? He's not short of money anyway.

Moreover, he had a premonition that once he sacrificed the Golden Horned Beast, the benefits he would gain would be far greater than if he sold the beast egg now.

Having hunted so many monsters, Jiang Lan has also summarized some systematic patterns.

That is, the rarer the type of monster, the better the rewards he can get from the system after the sacrifice.

This explains why, despite killing so many monsters on that livestock planet, he only obtained Body Tempering Pills.

And the cosmic behemoth...

As Babata just said, he and Huyanbo have traveled through the universe for countless years and have only seen two cosmic behemoths.

Even those two star beasts were relatively ordinary among the star beast race.

As for the Golden Horned Beast, being the most powerful of the star beasts, Jiang Lan believed that the benefits he could gain from sacrificing it would be far greater than selling it at an auction for some money.

"Selling it is out of the question. Besides, even if this thing is valuable, could it be more than the inheritance your master left me?"

"No, not at all..." Babata said, "Master is already considered a strong figure among the immortal gods, and the wealth he can acquire is unimaginable to ordinary people. It's just an egg of a star beast. If Master wants it, buying it is as easy as playing around."

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

Babata's statement is somewhat exaggerated.

Although he didn't know the exact value of the Starry Sky Beast, it was definitely not something that Hu Yanbo could buy casually.

Of course, if there's some bleeding, then it's not a problem.

However, he didn't expose it, since Huyanbo was now dead, and Babata was very loyal to his former master.

Jiang Lan didn't need to upset Babata over such a trivial matter.

He glanced at the golden-horned giant beast egg in front of him, and with a thought, the entire egg vanished instantly.

However, just to be on the safe side, he didn't put the egg into his spatial ring, but instead put it into his system space.

"So, you really don't plan to sell this egg?" Babata was still a little unwilling to give up.

Jiang Lan asked with some curiosity, "Why do you insist on selling it? Even if I don't kill this golden-horned beast, can't I just keep it as a pet?"

"Don't joke around. As the most powerful race in the universe, the Starry Sky Beasts are born with the memories of their ancestors and are very proud. They would never submit to a human. I heard that there was a holy land that imprisoned a Starry Sky Beast for countless years, and that Starry Sky Beast still did not submit."

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiang Lan smacked her lips.

I never expected something like this to happen.

However, he never intended to tame this golden-horned behemoth, so whether it was easy or difficult to tame it was none of his concern.

Jiang Lan looked up and then shot straight upwards.

In just two seconds, he had risen from the sea to the air.

"Alright, we've taken care of most of the things on Earth. Next, it's time to register for the mercenary exam."

Jiang Lan floated in mid-air, her body completely dry, showing no signs of having just emerged from the sea.

"Great!" Babata's voice was also somewhat excited. "Even I can't wait to know how strong you will be after this assessment."

Previously on planet BK-304, Jiang Lan's breakthrough method was so fantastical that even Babata found it hard to believe.

If Jiang Lan can maintain his current rate of progress in this assessment, then he has truly struck gold.
