With the Fire Ant Beast leading the way, Lin Chen traveled much faster.

Lin Chen discovered another advantage of this Fire Ant Beast, which was its extensive "beast" network.

The number of Fire Ant Beasts on the island was incredibly large, so there were connections everywhere.

Relying on its beast network, Lin Chen searched for medicinal herbs far and wide.

In just three short days of traveling, Lin Chen actually unearthed a lot of top-grade medicinal herbs, estimated to be worth over three million.

For Lin Chen, this was no small fortune.

On the fourth day, Lin Chen and the others reached the central area of Celestial Beast Island, where most of it was the Mist Forest, shrouded in mist and teeming with Spirit Beasts. The "beast" network of the Fire Ant Beast was no longer effective, so their pace slowed down.

"The phenomenon you saw before was in this area?" Lin Chen asked.

The Fire Ant Beast nodded and told Lin Chen that many Spirit Beast clans had sent people to explore when the phenomenon appeared, confirming the general area.

"Do you know what kind of Spirit Beast Egg it is?" Lin Chen asked again.

The Fire Ant Beast shook its head, indicating it didn't know.

It only told Lin Chen that this phenomenon was extremely rare, something the Ant Queen said occurred only once in a hundred years.

Hearing this made Lin Chen even more curious about what kind of Spirit Beast Egg it was.

....

"Xiu Xiu, is it here?"

Bai Ling wasn't foolish; although she couldn't understand the map at first, she gradually learned by exploring and relying on her judgment of the terrain.

She reached this part of the Mist Forest using the map, but it became useless due to the dense trees and fog, as it wasn't a very detailed map.

Zhong Nan also said that if Bai Ling was destined, she would obtain it.

If it was not meant to be, no force could compel it.

So after Bai Ling arrived here, she chose to let the Calamity-Devouring Beast lead the way.

Given the order, the Calamity-Devouring Beast darted quickly, but Bai Ling became more and more anxious as she walked, worried about getting lost.

Suddenly, the Calamity-Devouring Beast made a sound, and as Bai Ling alertly scanned her surroundings, the Red Feather Chicken raised its head sharply.

At this moment, a white python coiled its way down a tree, striking towards Bai Ling and the others.

The Red Feather Chicken immediately transformed, spitting out a Phoenix Karmic Fire, and at the instant a tree was severed, it repelled the White Python.

Bai Ling quickly led the Calamity-Devouring Beast and the others away.

Meanwhile, the Red Feather Chicken, with its feathers bristling, exuded a scorching aura around it, entering an evolved state. It flapped its wings fiercely, a sharp screech cutting through the air, engaging in a fierce battle with the White Python.

However, the White Python's thick body was as hard as steel, and each movement carried immense strength.

It was at level 40, whereas the Red Feather Chicken was only at level 31. The huge disparity in level made the battle lose suspense from the start.

Although the Red Feather Chicken had the Phoenix Karmic Fire that the White Python feared, shooting arrows of flame at it, the White Python dodged agilely and counterattacked at the right moments.

Soon, the Red Feather Chicken began to tire, its movements gradually slowing down.

Seeing the Red Feather Chicken about to lose, Bai Ling's eyes sharpened. She glanced at the Calamity-Devouring Beast, which understood and leaped forward like a released arrow.

At this moment, when the Red Feather Chicken could no longer hold on, the Calamity-Devouring Beast suddenly let out a roar, and a powerful suction burst from its mouth.

The White Python turned its head and, in horror, found itself being pulled uncontrollably. It hurriedly wrapped its thick tail tightly around a nearby tree to steady itself, but the suction was so strong that the tree was uprooted in an instant.

The White Python was shocked beyond measure, helplessly watching itself being drawn closer by the Calamity-Devouring Beast's suction.

What is this thing!

The White Python desperately tried to escape, but at this moment, the Calamity-Devouring Beast's power was terrifying. In an instant, the White Python was drawn to its side. The Calamity-Devouring Beast's mouth opened countless times wider, and somehow, it managed to swallow the White Python's head, leaving the tail and body wildly thrashing.

This White Python was peculiar, using its tail to form a special shape.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast understood right away, informing Bai Ling that it was surrendering.

Bai Ling was instantly delighted; she hadn't intended to kill it, so she had the Calamity-Devouring Beast release it.

The White Python was spat out, immediately burrowing into the ground, which Bai Ling initially thought was an escape attempt, but it turned out to be cleaning itself, disliking the Calamity-Devouring Beast's mouth, using the earth to wash itself.

After it felt clean enough, it flicked out its tongue, glancing at Bai Ling, then at the Calamity-Devouring Beast, nodding finally and indicating for Bai Ling to wait.

Then, it disappeared and after a while returned with a golden Spirit Egg.

Bai Ling was somewhat dumbfounded; she wasn't foolish and recognized that this golden Spirit Egg was different, presumably the Spirit Egg Zhong Nan had mentioned.

But...

Was it really this simple?

The White Python saw Bai Ling's confusion and explained that it wasn't the actual parent.

Its mother had died in childbirth, leaving it in its care.

It hoped Bai Ling would care for it as it grew.

Bai Ling hesitantly accepted it, nodded at the White Python, and said, "Snake, I will."

The White Python nodded, climbed back up a tree, and vanished somewhere.

Bai Ling was about to put the Spirit Egg into the Beast Taming Space when a voice came from behind:

"Bai Ling, it seems your fortune is truly strong."
