Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

[Medusa's Egg (Legendary): An egg of a certain creature that requires strict conditions to hatch. Trust me, the moment the shell breaks, you'll be in for a big surprise.]

John fell into deep thought.

Isn't this supposedly the child Medusa was carrying?

In other words, the next Medusa Queen should be inside this white, giant egg.

The question is, Medusa has been killed by him.

Why would the child in her belly drop out like loot?

John was utterly puzzled.

Meanwhile, Blue Sea had carefully stowed the key in his bag. 

Seeing the giant egg in the chest, he was stunned, "Is this... a pet egg?"

John nodded, "Apparently, you have seen it."

Blue Sea exclaimed in surprise, "But the Pet System hasn't been opened yet, has it? How could an egg of a pet drop?"

John didn't reply, but he already had the answer in his mind.

The game Godslayer had been launched for several months.

But, in fact, it was still in the open beta stage.

Many features in the game weren't complete yet, including the Pet System.

Now it was giving players ample time to explore various gameplay in the game.

Only after the open beta ends, would the Pet System be officially launched.

Normally, no players should be able to catch pets, let alone high-level pet eggs dropping after defeating a boss.

But a boss like Medusa Queen obviously couldn't be judged by common sense.

John still remembers the system's introduction about Medusa Queen, which specifically noted her uniqueness.

That is, in the game Godslayer, there was only one Medusa Queen, not like other bosses who respawn.

Killing this Medusa meant there wouldn't be a new one appearing here. Instead, other Lord-level bosses would come to rule over this cave territory.

This was consistent with John's memory of the Medusa Queen.

In the legend of the Abyss, there could only be one queen in the Medusa race.

The only condition for the birth of a new queen was the death of the previous one.

Even in the real world, nature is fair.

Much more so in a game world controlled by a main server.

To ensure the succession of Medusa Queen, when the previous queen died...

The system would arrange for the birth of a new queen. 

If John was not mistaken, the hatchling from this egg in front of him would be the new Medusa Queen. 

After John shared his speculation with Blue Sea, Blue Sea immediately took a keen interest in the white egg in the chest.

This could potentially be the Medusa Queen, a level 200 Lord-level boss! 

If they could acquire such a pet, it would undoubtedly boost the guild's overall strength significantly. 

Blue Sea tentatively asked, "Galewind, are you planning to keep this pet egg, or are you going to auction it?"

John glanced at him, "Why, are you interested in this?"

Blue Sea didn't hesitate to answer, "Of course, it's a legendary level pet, with unlimited potential for growth. Who could resist such a temptation?"

John fell silent. 

Honestly, he wasn't that interested in this egg. 

The Medusa Queen's power may be daunting in the early and middle stages of the game. 

But in the late stages, such a level pet wouldn't be that impressive. 

After the Abyss opened, there would be countless Lord-level bosses stronger than the Medusa Queen. 

Plus, John's own strength was considerable; he didn't need a powerful pet to assist him in battle. 

So, for John, this pet egg was just a trifle.

After some thought, John said lightly, "If you're interested, you can have it. But have you seen the hatching conditions of the pet egg?"

Only then did Blue Sea notice that at the bottom of the system's description of the pet egg, there was a note on the hatching conditions.

[Hatching conditions: 30 liters of Abyssal Mire, 10 liters of essence blood each from seven kinds of undead, Lord-level snake species. The pet egg needs to be soaked in this mixture for 49 days to hatch.]

Blue Sea: "..."

His heart, which had been ablaze, suddenly cooled down. 

These conditions were too strict, weren't they? 

Not to mention how hard it would be to find seven kinds of undead, Lord-level snake species. 

Even if found, obtaining their essence blood would be a complicated matter. 

The game Godslayer wasn't like other games. 

To collect materials from a monster, you couldn't just kill it. 

You had to weaken the monster until it couldn't fight back, then extract the materials while it was still alive. 

It was much harder to cripple than to kill.

As for the Abyssal Mire? 

What was that? 

He'd never even heard of it. 

The official information about the Abyss hadn't been released yet, so Blue Sea had no idea of its existence.

Blue Sea looked up and chuckled dryly, "Let's forget it, our guild doesn't have the ability to hatch this thing. You'd better keep it for yourself."

John shrugged, made no objections. 

He reached out and took the white egg from the chest into his backpack. 

Then, John suggested, "The remaining two items have decent attributes, how about we each take one?"

Surprisingly, Blue Sea decisively shook his head and declined, "No, no, no, these two items belong to you. You single-handedly killed the Medusa Queen, we didn't help at all, why should we share the loot? I'm already more than satisfied with having the key of Ethan."

To say that Blue Sea had no desire for the two legendary items in the chest would be impossible. 

These high-level items were beneficial to any guild.

But Blue Sea deeply understood one principle: no reward without effort. It was also one of his life's mottos. 

Seeing Blue Sea's resolved face, John nodded slightly, "Well, if you say so, I won't be polite."

Blue Sea gave a carefree smile and then started instructing everyone to clean up the aftermath. 

Some people soon left the cave, retracing their steps. 

Having found the key item, the exploration mission of the Dark Spirit Realm was considered successfully completed. 

The return journey was uneventful.

Once the group arrived back at Silverglow, John and Blue Sea parted ways. 

Blue Sea hurried back to his guild, probably planning to open the treasure of the explorer Ethan, looking for his coveted "Lv4 Guild Establishment Order".

Meanwhile, John opened his chat channel. 

While he was exploring the Dark Spirit Realm, he had received many messages. 

Most of them were from Emma. 

But due to the high-level secrecy of the Dark Spirit Realm, he couldn't connect with the outside world.

Emma: What are you up to, Johnny? I miss you. 

Emma: Why are you ignoring me, Johnny? Have you gone to the dungeon with Blue Sea already? 

Emma: Safe journey, be careful. 

Emma: Still not out? I'm going to level up with White Feather. 

Emma: Johnny, I'm going back to school in a few days, I can see you then. …

John chuckled, picturing the sweet and innocent face of Emma in his mind. 

It had indeed been some time since they last met. 

Remembering Emma's provocative appearance in bed, his heart started to warm up.

John sent a message back to Emma: Back in Silverglow, mission accomplished, don't worry.

Soon, Emma replied.

Emma: Johnny, you're back so soon, truly a master. 

John: It was just a quest to find an item, a small task. 

Emma: I'm leveling up with White Feather, see you later at the Silverglow tavern. 

John: Alright. 

Emma: It's unfair, you haven't seen me for so long but you didn't say if you missed me. 

John: Of course, I missed you, especially missing you naked in bed. 

Emma: Stop it, Johnny, you're being inappropriate again. 

John: Hehe, don't you miss it? 

Emma: (Blushing) I'm not telling you. 

John: When are you going back to school? I'll come to pick you up. 

Emma: (Sticking out her tongue) Naughty, I'll go straight back to school, won't go to your place. 

John: That won't do, I bought you a pretty nightdress, waiting for you to wear it. 

Emma: Oh my, Johnny, you're so bad! 

…

John was joking with Emma while heading towards the Dawn Breeze Auction House. 

By the time he reached the auction house, their conversation ended.

Isabella, the familiar beautiful auctioneer, was currently standing idly in the auction hall. 

As soon as she saw John, her eyes lit up, "Wow, Galewind, you're here?"

John nodded, then followed Isabella to a private room on the second floor of the auction house. 

"What good stuff are you going to auction this time?"

John casually said, "I have two nice pieces of equipment that don't fit my profession, so I want to list them in your auction house."

Isabella's eyes shone even brighter, her smile rippling, "If Galewind says it's good, it must be top-notch. Can I take a look?"

John took the two items out of his backpack and put them on the table.

Despite her expectations, when the orange glow lit up , Isabella was still stunned on the spot.

"Can you tell me more about these items?" She finally found her voice, still staring at the equipment with wide eyes.

John chuckled, briefly explaining the details and functions of the items. 

Isabella listened carefully, her eyes sparkling with fascination and excitement.

"That's... amazing!" She exclaimed once John finished, "These are indeed top-tier items. They'll definitely cause a stir at the auction."

John shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "Well, let's hope they find a good owner then."

They discussed a bit more about the auction details before John left the auction house. 

On his way out, he couldn't help but smile at Isabella's excitement. 

He knew he'd made the right choice. 

After all, every player loves good equipment, and these two items were no exception.

He looked forward to seeing what kind of storm they would stir up in the auction. 

But for now, he had a date to get to at the Silverglow tavern. 

With Emma's image on his mind, he quickened his pace, eager to meet her again after so long.
