These Familiars Are Strange

Still regardless of what it was, it was a good thing that it ended like this.

It was better than a hard battle after everything that had happened in this dungeon.

Once the egg cracked, I had Wang Rong cut off his mana to make the electrified water disappear.

Then before I even asked him, he turned around to move away from the entrance of this room.

It was as if he had already figured that I would want some time alone with the egg.

I looked at him with a trace of gratitude before summoning the Scavenger Rabbit out.

The Scavenger Rabbit acted completely differently when it saw the egg.

It seemed like it was filled with excitement, but it also seemed like it was scared even though the egg was cracked.

This was the first time that I had seen this reaction from the Scavenger Rabbit.

But at the very least, the Scavenger Rabbit confirmed that this egg was destroyed and dead since it was willing to move towards it. If it was still alive, there was no way that the Scavenger Rabbit would have moved towards it.

Once the Scavenger Rabbit made its way over, it started digging through the remains of the egg even though the look of fear was even stronger on its face.

Eventually, it turned around with two items for me.

One of them was another quest item.

Underwater King's Order

Orders for the Fishman Chief to nurture this egg and make sure that it grows well in this dungeon.

As expected, this egg was related to the hidden quest of the dungeon. It was just that it hadn't hatched yet, which was why it was so easy to take care of.

The second item was much more shocking in comparison.

Dragon Fang

Grade: S

A powerful and sharp fang that comes from a water dragon. Can be crafted into a weapon.

Dragon.

Those were peak monsters no matter what kind of world it was, whether it was the real world or the fantasy world. Dragons would always be the apex predators and the top of the food chain.

They were monsters above monsters that no one dared to fight alone.

It was hard to imagine that this large egg that was here was actually a dragon.

It was even harder to imagine what this dungeon would have become if it had actually hatched.

However, thinking about it…it didn't seem to make sense.

After all, the dragon egg would have had more than enough time to hatch by now. The dungeons had been here for a long time and if no one had found this place yet, it would only make sense that the dragon egg would have hatched.

The only explanation was that someone would have had to come here from time to time to clear out this dragon egg.

That would mean that someone had already finished this hidden quest before and cleared out the dragon egg before it even hatched.

And it meant that they must have done it regularly since the dragon egg would respawn after a while since that was just part of the dungeon system.

The only ones that could do that would be those that knew about the hidden quest.

So who knew about it?

The more that I thought about it, the more that I came to the same conclusion.

"There's a reason why she sent me to this dungeon, right?" I said to myself in a low voice.

No matter how I looked at it, it really seemed like An Xue Yun had sent me here on purpose.

Only did she guess that I would be able to find the hidden quest or did she do something to make sure that I would find it?

The more that I thought about it, the more that my head hurt.

At the same time, the more I wanted to try and figure out just who An Xue Yun was…Or rather the more that I wanted to know more about the Explorer Association.

It was just that I didn't have anywhere near enough information for this and thinking about it too much really didn't help me.

In the end, I just said with a sigh, "I guess I'll talk to her about it."

With that, I called the Scavenger Rabbit back and put the Dragon Fang and quest item away.

Once it was all done, I went back to where Wang Rong was and reached out my hand. With the way that I was holding my hand out, it really seemed like I was waiting for him to give me something.

Wang Rong looked at me with a cautious and confused look.

While he did this, I could see that he was already moving the Vortex Trident behind himself as if he was trying to hide it from me.

But it wasn't that small that he could hide it with his body, even if he was chubby.

Seeing that I didn't put my hand down, Wang Rong said, "Boss, you said that you would give me a weapon if we found something better."

With a nod, I said, "That's right, I did say that. Only I never said that I would give you this one. I only lent it to you temporarily to use for this one time, I didn't give it to you to keep."

Wang Rong looked at me with a sad and bitter look, but I wasn't moved at all by the way that he looked at me.

I just gave a cough and gestured with my hand for him to hand it over.

So in the end, he handed the Vortex Trident back to me.

I patted him on the shoulder before saying, "Don't worry, I won't mistreat you."

Wang Rong just revealed a bitter smile without saying anything when he heard this.

I put the Vortex Trident away in my Storage Ring before leading the way again.

Since even the hidden quest had been cleared, it was time to leave this dungeon.

I had to say that I was very satisfied with everything that I had gotten from this place.
