Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 737 - 700: The Egg of the Demons!
Chapter 737: Chapter 700: The Egg of the Demons!
Looking around, Rocky saw thousands of cocoons emitting a regular red glow, completely covering the entire Dissolving Cave!
This scene was not only horrifying, but it also made Rocky’s skin crawl.
“My God…”
“It’s actually true…”
“This place is really a monster’s belly…”
As Rocky was shocked by everything he saw before him, Liliya, Dusa, and He Nan also came to his side. The trio had the same reaction upon seeing the contents of the Dissolving Cave, their faces filled with shock after clearly seeing everything!
It was terrifying!
The contents of this Dissolving Cave were absolutely terrifying and so sensational that it stunned them all right there on the spot.
“Go take a look!”
While the trio remained stunned, Rocky was the first to snap out of it and immediately lowered his altitude after speaking.
He now had a premonition, one extremely strong and ominous. He felt as though he had uncovered an earth-shattering secret!
So, after snapping out of it, he immediately lowered his altitude, and Liliya and the others, prompted by his actions, quickly regained their senses and followed him, approaching the densely packed cocoons inside the cave.
It didn’t take long before the four of them landed on the ground. Unfortunately, because the cocoons were so numerous and completely covered the cave floor, the four could only search for gaps to barely stand.
“Are these… all Demons?”
Standing in front of a cocoon that resembled an egg but was taller than a person, Liliya looked closely. Apart from seeing many tiny blood vessels on the cocoon shells, the faint red light emitted by the cocoons allowed her to see through the shell to the thing inside—a figure even taller than her. Although it was curled up inside the cocoon, she could still make out its ferocious contours, even just from the shadows.
Without a doubt, there was a Demon inside.
“What exactly is this place…”
“Exactly what kind of Demons are in these cocoons?”
After clearly seeing the Demons inside the cocoons, Liliya said incredulously, though her questions went unanswered.
Research on Demons over the past century had never ceased; a separate discipline called Demonology had even been established, as well as many demonologists. Unfortunately, none of the four present were demonologists, and their understanding of Demons was basically only related to fighting; beyond that, they really didn’t know.
Because of this, they were completely baffled by the cocoons they now faced before them.
“There’s nothing to ponder, just look and you will know.”
While everyone else was puzzled and could not find the answer, Rocky said this and then decisively raised his Magic Fang Scythe.
Since none of them could tell what kind of demon was inside the cocoons, why not just cut it open and see?
Thus, Rocky gently used the scythe to slash across the surface of the cocoon. With a swish, a large gash was made, and immediately after, a large amount of sticky fluid came pouring out of the slash. Soon, it covered the ground. After all the fluid inside the cocoon had drained, Rocky stepped forward, grasped the shell of the cocoon, and tore it open.
It was odd, the shell of the cocoon, which was initially hard, became soft after all the fluid drained out. It felt like a thick flap, and once Rocky peeled off the shell completely, the demon inside fell out with a thud.
“Sss…sss…”
After the demon fell out of the cocoon, it curled up on the ground, emitting a series of soft hisses—it was actually alive!
Although Rocky and his companions were not well-versed in Demonology or Demon Dissection, they had basic common sense. They understood from the pain in the demon’s cries what had happened.
Clearly, the fluid that had poured from the cocoon was some sort of nutrient meant to aid the demon’s incubation. Unfortunately, Rocky had cut it open before the demon had fully developed, hence why it was now half-dead.
Realizing this, the four of them looked together at the demon curled up on the ground. This demon was neither a Beetle nor a Mantis Demon, which everyone had guessed by then, having already seen the demon’s outline through the red glow emanating from the cocoon. The demon in the cocoon looked more like a normal demon as Rocky and his associates recognized.
This demon had a humanoid form, its body entirely red, with two horns growing on its head. These horns, evidently undeveloped, were just tiny tips—making it hard to discern what it would look like fully grown. However, on the demon’s back… were indeed a pair of fleshy wings!
Yes, wings. There was a pair of wings growing on the demon’s back!
Even though the demon was clearly not yet fully developed, with its back wings looking flimsy and merely a layer of skin stuck to its back, a closer look revealed that these were undoubtedly real fleshy wings!
It was upon seeing these wings that Rocky and the others finally understood what kind of demon was being incubated in the cocoons, a Flying Demon!
Indeed, ever since the Flying Demon first appeared, demonologists had been researching their origins. Of course, everyone knew they must have evolved, but how these beings came about was a mystery. Were they born from some other demons? Or did they come into existence via some other methods? Or perhaps they even, like when demons first appeared, came directly from the Otherworld—nobody knew for certain because there was still too much that remained unknown about Flying Demons.
But now, this mystery had finally been unraveled—the Flying Demons were hatched!
Never had they expected this to be a Flying Demon, not just Liliya and the others, but even Rocky, who was usually the most decisive, was stunned. The revelation was completely unexpected. Even though he had anticipated they might uncover a major secret this time, he had never imagined it would be something so immense!
They had actually found the birthplace of Flying Demons?!
At this thought, Rocky couldn’t help but look around; all he could see were cocoons, thousands of them!
And all of these were Flying Demons!
Terrifying, shocking, unbelievable—at this moment, numerous thoughts surged through Rocky’s mind, and like Liliya, he was rooted to the spot, staring at the thousands of cocoons, at a loss for what to do next…
